This place is unbelievable. If you're looking for fresh, never frozen, American meats. This is place.

There meat is out of this world delicious, been going there for the last ten years. Ordered a 15 pound prime rib for Christmas as always, the guy was so rude I have vowed to never walk in that place ever again. I took the whole 20lb to get out of there before I lost it! Lady before me the guy was so rude I literally thought he was joking! Then it was my turn with a different person, no this one was more rude than the first! After paying 300+ I will never go to that butcher again. Made a great experience very bad I walked out of so frustrated, it was terrible. The prime rib was delicious as everything else, but no way will I walk back in there again!Carole Richard

I went in this morning to ask about their prices for ground beef. I cook all of my dogs food and go through about 10 pounds of ground beef a week, which I had been getting for the last 8 months at Derricos for $2.99 pound until they recently closed. While I was there, I also planned on picking up the new Boars Head Romano cheese, their buffalo cheese dip and maybe some steak tips. I asked the girl behind the counter how much the ground beef was, and was told $4.99 per pound. I started to ask if they offer any discounts if I buy in bulk, and before I could even finish my sentence, she was shaking her head no. I told her I understand, I was only asking because I used to get it for $2.99 at Derricos, then she yelled in the back for the manager (I did not ask to speak with him). He came out and I said that I was really sorry to bother him, but that I had just been inquiring if they offer discounts for bulk because I go through ten lbs per week when he cut me off and said he sells 3-4 thousand pounds per week, then I explained that I had been getting it for $2.99 lb, to which he reacted “no you didn’t”, and where are they now? You can’t find fresh ground beef cheaper than what I sell it for. He said maybe you got it that price as they were going out of business, and I explained that I had been getting it at that price all along to which he again replied “no you didn’t”. I never expected to get it from him for that price, but would have been very happy with a 50 cent per pound discount. $5.00 is all it would have cost him to make a customer happy, and I would have purchased several other things on top of it. He is the one who responded in an adversarial way by cutting me off and talking over me, so I said thank you, turned around and left, and will never spend another dime in his shop again.

Very friendly staff they greeted me as soon as I walked in treated me very nicely.There prices are honestly unbeatable they have many packages and they're willing to do substitutions as long as it's equal to the price of whatever your substituting and if it's more as long as you're willing to pay the difference they have no problem doing it. They accept EBT which is always a benefit. I previously went to Derricos market in leominster and spent $160 on roughly the same kind of package 5 lb of four or five different kinds of meats and at Central Street market I only spent $100. They also have cheese that's $5.99 a pound again unbeatable. They told me that the order would be done a little after 1:00 and I saw how many slips they had they had a lot and they still managed to get me my order before 1:00 well before it. This place is great the meat quality is fantastic it's nice and red All American meat. I really appreciated the fact that they individually wrapped the Hamburg 5 lb I got 5 lb and they wrapped them up in 1 lb packages which was extremely helpful because when I went to the other market they didn't do that and I didn't have the materials to wrap them up individually so them taking the time to wrap everything individually was much appreciated. this is from now and forever more my go-to place for meats and cheese. They don't have anything on Google so if you'd like to take a look at their packages I'm including a photo and they also have a Facebook.

First & last visit. Asked the staff if they carried prime cuts of beef. Was told that they do not provide customers this info. I then stated that as the customer, it's important to me to know, as this is what I want to purchase. A second staffer approached and told me that they don't tell customers, because they don't want customers coming there looking for specific cuts/grades of meat. I mean wow....basically just staying hey, we don't want a customer like you. So back to Wegmans I went. Great selection of prime, aged, a9, and a5 cuts there. Central street can keep their mystery meat, not going back.

The most rude people I have ever spoken to I asked what kind of steak is there shaved steak he couldn’t tell he said “ it’s good stuff” and tells me we have been serving it to people for years then starts to yell saying he doesn’t care he won’t tell me it’s secret all I was asking for is what cut is the steak from most unprofessional butcher shop I’ve ever been to

if you want GREAT FRESH meat go to Central Street Butcher... they are NUMBER1 in my book... i have been getting their packages for almost a year now and will never by meat in the supermarket again.. Also i had a gift card to "tuckaway tavern" the famous steak house in Raymond NH so seeing as you can never get in the restaurant without at least a 60 min wait.. we decided to go with the butcher... Never again it wasn't good at all.. i have also tried another butcher in town.. not good either... so my Pick today and everyday is Central St. Butcher.the people are fantastic ...

The ham was good. However...This was my second holiday meal purchase. Both times I was way oversold. If I tell a professional that I need a ham for 8, I don't expect enough for 16 or 20. Plus they sold me their "most popular ham, they have been selling this for 20 years." It was a big ol' chunk of deli meat. I could have bought this at BJs or Hannafords for $2 a pound cheaper. I will not go back.
