Butcher and Market

Everything in this building deserves a separate review. Sadly, everything in this building is ridiculously over priced, and now , the last establishment to open, The " Butcher ", more of the same. Such disappointment. I am old enough to remember stand alone Main Street type butchers, with neat tied up with string in wax paper. The " Butcher" had red blood all over his apron. So what I hoped for here was ridiculously overpriced freshly ground sirloin. Fuhgitaboutit. Almost everything here is vacuum packed. ZERO freshly ground sirloin or anything. Bison and ostrich ? Are you frikin kidding me ? I am not a Developer Basher, I love it here, but wtf. TV was a place for middle class people to move to affordable. Before the pandemic, when I started looking to move here, a good 3 bd 2 ba could be had for $ 250,000. A " Butcher " with no blood on his apron , slinging vacuum packs, is no Butcher at all. This place is supposed to be for retired working class people. Grind me some sirloin and overcharge me for the convenience, I am ok with that. Don't insult me, and the memory of Mr Shwartz, with vacuum pack ostrich, I can drive to Mount Dora for stuff like that.

Let me counter the other comment about price and more exotic selection. This probably the only actual butcher in the county period! You want ground Chuck? Go to Walmart. The meat is of even higher quality than Fresh Market. You want fine steaks with amazing marbling? Stop here. Looking for an actual butcher with knowledge of personalized cuts? This is the place to stop and shop. The selection of fine cheeses and cured meats is also outstanding. This butcher shop also has fresh made pasta.

Went to Billy's Meat Shop. Outstanding. Looking for Prime ribeye steak.Grilled them last night and they were delicious. Great cut. Also got the marinated baby back ribs. Amazing!

Amazing, spectacular selection. They have a wide selection of fine cheeses, fresh pasta, and meats. The owner and butcher cuts his own meats fresh each morning. My family smokes meats and we will be using him in the future for special cuts. He was gracious enough to let us sample the bread and even a bit of meat. Beautiful quality marbling! Knows how to treat specialized meats and how to store and cool. We are so lucky to have a place like this around here. I created a Yelp profile just so I could post a review to disagree with the person who left an unfair bad review on this business just because he wanted to complain about the villages. Serious potential customers, please disregard it. The place is fabulous. Please note, this is NOT Walmart. It is a quality butcher and they charge accordingly. Their prices are very fair for the quality. It is a beautiful location, while you are picking up your meat you can enjoy a glass of wine or a beer and listen to some great music in the square outside.
