“Absolutely excellent customer service. The owner delivered the spices I bought personally for me when I could not get there although they were not currently even delivering. This was exceptionally nice of him. They are super friendly and just great business people. The spices were completely authentic. Excellent taste. I highly recommend. Love this place.”

“Fantastic chicken at great prices. Also have fresh eggs. The place is spotless with out any bad odors like most butcheries. The staff is always efficient and courteous. I can't go back to grocery store chicken.”

“looking for smoked sausage my mother bought from this store in 1990, they were the very best sausage. The family bought them by the boxes they are good for sandwiches, breakfast and all other dishes made from cabbage and sausage collard greens you name it.”

“I was looking for a fairly hard cut to get and of course, Savenor's could provide. It was a 3 lb lamb shoulder. Even my local butcher couldn't get it for me this time. I was thrilled to get it. I was getting a delivery from Savenor's (they deliver to Boston neighborhoods. Maybe other towns, but I don't know) and it came on time and the order was accurate. I wanted to get my order over $99 so I could have a delivery discount, so I added some meats I would usually buy anyways and I threw in a couple different types of sausages they make. The reason I feel motivated to write this review is because of the Chorizo they delivered. OMG!!! I think it may very well be the most delicious sausage I've ever had. Not kidding. So good! Can't wait to taste the lamb after we smoke it, shred it, put it on pita with feta, tzaziki I'll make, lettuce and some juicy tomatoes. I'm pretty sure the lamb will also be amazing. Get yourself to Savenor's if you're looking for interesting cuts of meat that the supermarkets don't have and for their amazing sausage.”

“Okay, you first walk in and you see weird stuff like goat and sheep's heads. You smell the meat. The atmosphere is a little grimy, since it is parked right next door to Haymarket. The smell of funky cheese from a few doors down does not help. By far, this place does not look like much of anything.But first impressions are deceiving. This place is a hidden gem. The shop is over a hundred years old and it is a true, old school butcher. For the uninitiated, that means you are not going to find ground beef neatly packaged in styrofoam, but rather an "everything but the oink/moo/cluck/gobble/baa" mentality; they even will sell you a whole goat or sheep to roast on a spit. My advice is to stick around. I myself rave about this place because I got the perfect sized turkey for Thanksgiving, fresh kill, freshly butchered. It was succulent and excellent quality! Even if they don't have what you want in stock, they can get it to you within a few days, and again, they butcher EVERY MEAT OR FOWL KNOWN TO MAN. (You do have to verbally ask for some of their items, since the fridge is in the back as is where the butchering is done: they bring it to you.) They cater to both immigrant and local tastes, something Savenor's does not, and it is worth it-the Vietnamese guy gets his tripe to make pho, you get your prized rib roast, and the Puerto Rican walks out happily carrying a whole suckling pig she has carefully wrapped up to take home for Christmas dinner. Go on, give it a chance. Do what I did and go in advance for the holiday meal. Have your turkey or goose safely waiting for you and eat like a king while idiots fight over a frozen Butterball or a crown roast of meh from Shaw's. Poke at the goat meat, and then learn it tastes like lamb and actually would be a treat if used in a stew recipe. Go look up an old recipe of Julia Child's from the 1950's and realize that the foot of a cow was the old way to get gelatin and if all the instant stuff at the supermarket suddenly goes poof, you are going to be fine: the 100+ year old butcher shop that is older than Savenor's still has the foot, weird though that is.”

“Sulmona Meat Market is in business and going strong. Myself and Bobby Pugliese would drive from Vermont to purchase whole hind quarters for our veal dishes at the Jamiaca ouse back in the mid 1970's and of course Dominic's famous homemade sausage. This is a testiment of how a quality meat shop stays open for decades after decades. Businesses come and go, but true quality of meats and service continues to this day. Congratulations on such an achievement!!!! Oakie”

“High quality, local food, delivered fresh. Great value and small but curated selection of prepared foods, food "kits", produce, and wonderful breads. Our teenager especially loves the HiRise potato bread, Rehobeth english muffins, and Little Leaf lettuce.”

“We go to AP all the time... the Dot location is cozy and the employees are off-the-charts nice. Quality of gourmet groceries, deli meats/cheese, and wine/beer/liquor selection are all phenomenal. I bought several people xmas gifts this year that were just little baskets full of things entirely from AP. Owner Matt went above and beyond when there was a mixup with something we ordered, dropping off a gift to our home. This is the sort of stuff that neighborhood patrons don't forget!”

“Amazing hole in the wall shop with a lot of variety (from ready made food to spice mixes for umpteen dishes) from the Middle East, Southeast Asia and some from the UAE. Perfect place to shop when you're in the mood for a shock to the pallet in the form of exotic food!”

“Fantastic artisan sandwiches. The roast beef (deli style, not North Shore, nor Chicago) was incredible. The balance of flavors with the truffle, rosemary, and horseradish was a perfect combination. These were clearly high quality and carefully curated ingredients. The fact that it came with potato salad was a pleasant surprise bonus.Additionally, they sell a select amount of craft beer, local cheeses, and high-end wines too. Perfect to spend more money while you wait for your amazing sandwich to be prepared haha. The staff was also very inviting.”

“There are two live poultry shops in Chinatown but I've only ever shopped at this one. If you've ever eaten soy sauce chicken or scallion/ginger chicken at a Cantonese restaurant, they are most likely using what they call Brown Chicken at this shop. This is a breed of chicken that Cantonese folks tend to use and is characterized by its bright vibrant yellow skin. The meat is a firmer than your Costco chicken and has more chicken taste. Prior to the pandemic I recall buying them for $3.20/lb and now in 2023 they are going for $3.60/lb. Chickens tend to be around 5-6 pounds so expect to spend around $20/chicken. My family has been buying from here for years.Tip: cash only.”

“Solid butcher. Has an array of fresh meat options (whole chicken, wings, legs, sausages, and steaks) as well as some cold items, fresh vegetables, and pantry staples. The place is immaculately clean. Prices are very reasonable. Bilingual signage and staff. Skip Shaw's and get your meat from the local butcher.”
