Amazing selection of meat and other tasty items. The best butcher shop in the area BY FAR! You cannot go wrong here.

This should be the very best butchery at least in MD. The staff is very kind and nice, the place is very clean, products are fresh and delicious. Thank you for serving us ?

The staff kicked me and my trained service dog illegally out of the establishment. When I called the next day and spoke to the owner, he assured me that this is completely legal, because service dogs aren’t allowed in places where they serve food. I told him that he needed to read the American disability act, and he said that he is up-to-date and that this health inspector told him he can’t have service dogs. Service dogs are absolutely required by law to go anywhere the general public is allowed, especially restaurants. He was clearly lying, and it’s disgusting to think in modern times a business owner would pull such a stunt. Horrified he would think he’s above the law and discriminating against disabilities is acceptable. This internationally certified service dog has been by my side working in ERs across the country, flown cross continent dozens of times, and has quietly sat in hundreds of restaurants over the past decade. She is a national treasure as far as I’m concerned, and shame on this backwards establishment.

This business just closed their Remington location abruptly with no notice to their workers, leaving many with no job entering the new year. Absolutely unprofessional and deplorable behavior. You've definitely lost a customer.

Hands down the best cheeseburger on the East Coast. Fresh, consistent, and damn delicious. 20 out of 10 recommend. The customer service is always on point. The butchery has fantastic, fresh cuts of meats. The grocery selection is unique and gives inspiration for meals . Check their website for hrs and DON'T miss out on trying this spot.

Best cheeseburger I've had in my life, drove over an hour to have it and it was worth it!

My review is for the lunch carry-out only. Their coffee and butcher I cannot comment on, but the butcher case looks amazing. Their carry-out lunch business, though, is terrible. Our office orders lunch together frequently and we do our best to patronize a variety of local establishments. We have gone to John Brown's several times, but I'm sure we won't go back. The food, when prepared correctly is okay but I have received my burger way undercooked, like raw. I've never ordered their cold cut, but the ones in the office that have complained of it being too greasy. Their fries are pretty incredible, but not enough to put up with their horrible service. The woman that typically answers the phone is rude. Not sure it is the same woman every time, but it sounds like it. They have a very obvious attitude that they do not care about our business. One time, we tried to order a cheeseburger, with a different cheese than what was listed on the menu. They had the cheese because it was being used on the special of the day. They outright refused to make it different than what was on the menu. Then today was the final straw. I called in at 10:45am to place a pick-up order for 12:45. I had a meeting to go into and this needed to be taken care of before. She refused to take an order ahead of time and said I would have to call back at 11:30am. I asked her to please take it ahead of time, as I had a meeting to go into only to be told no with the explanation that she may lose it. LOSE IT? Really?!! In spite of how annoyed I was at that, I let the host of the meeting know that I would have to excuse myself from our meeting to place the lunch order. So at 11:45 I went into my office and called again. When she heard it was for 12:45, she told me to call back at 12:30. I said I could not do that and besides it was a large order, they'd need more than 15 minutes to prepare it. She asked how large, I said 12 sandwiches. She then told me that they would only take an order up to 10 sandwiches, anything more had to be a catering order and they would need a 3 day advance notice. Last straw! The fact that we have done this at least 5 other times in the last year aside, the woman was unapologetic and rude. When I questioned the limit of 10, she said their fryers are small and that's all they could do. The fact that half our sandwiches were cold cuts, I guess, didn't make any difference. This place is rude and considering there are literally hundreds of places to eat in the Hunt Valley area, my recommendation is to go anywhere else. This place does not deserve your patronage. As I type this I am enjoying my cobb salad from Chic Fila and I am sure, had I received the lunch I was planning to order from JB, I would not be as satisfied.

A really nice place in an antique stone building. John Brown features a group of small antique buildings apparently part of a 3 building general store from the 1800s. A trio of 5 star craft artisanal businesses across the street from a tiny farmers market. Expresso next door on site. Really nice flower arrangements and gift knickknacks in the other building on site at Hedgerow. Some of the nicest and most creative floral arrangements I've ever seen there. John Brown Butchery features a nice variety of organic superlative options for the discerning carnivore. On site is quite a variety of meats headlined by small batch dry rubbed aged ribeyes...the cafe/grille includes Eggplant PoBoy for your herbivore compadre. Apparently they also make artisanal brick oven pizza and holiday turkeys--the turkeys must be ordered well in advance. The aging area has floor to ceiling windows, so you can see the gastronomic magic happening. Ribeye options include bourbon and herb, wine, coffee, coffee with bourbon? (there were 2 coffee options). Steaks sold on Fridays only. I got the garlic, raspberry and herb, and plain pork sausage and two types of salame--two of the varieties without pepper flakes--one was named Goose something or other (made of pork, not waterfowl...duck and goose salame is made elsewhere...I'm not a fan of it)and the one next to it...all tasty...all made on site in small batches.The aged/rubbed aged steaks sold only on Fridays. I haven't tried the cafe/grille (which features seating for maybe 15-20 tops and is first come first served) yet as the hours are limited. I can't imagine it's second rate as awesome as everything else is here.

Very disappointed with the quality of lamb, which was incredibly expensive. Much of it was inedible.

My favorite bakery, coffee spot and lunch spot! Yes the butchery is top notch, but don't miss out on their amazing coffee with homemade syrups (the pumpkin is so flavorful) and the pastries! The pastries sell out early so get there early on the weekends! The almond croissant is my favorable, in addition to the babkas!

We enjoyed a tasty lunch and wonderful service today. The friendly staff answered our questions and provided us with a fantastic experience. The meat and all other products are high quality and competitively priced. We can’t wait to come back with more friends next time.

The coffee was excellent! We came at around 10:40 am on a Saturday so they were basically out of pastries. If you want pastries, come in earlier!

I like this place a lot. I get some quality meats and very decent produce. They’re apart of my food shopping routine. I started off going to their location on Howard st. If you’re ever in Baltimore city go try their pizza!!!!
