Simply the best butcher shop in GR. Not only is their selection top quality, the guys working here are knowledgeable, friendly, and will always make sure you get what you’re looking for. Always look forward to my weekend walk up to their shop!

I have been a regular at E.A. Brady's for over a year and other meats just don't taste the same. Steaks, chicken, brats, and bacon. Their bacon is a staple in my house now. The guys are all so kind and knowledgeable about their craft and I never leave without feeling educated about the meat I walked out of the shop with.

Got the chance to checkout Eabradys for the first time! I ordered both of their sandwiches (cow and pig) and they hit the spot. It's been a long time since I've had American-style bbq and this was the perfect place to try it again. I waited in line for a little bit over an hour (reminiscent of black napkin brunch) and I could just tell this was going to be great by how enthusiastic everyone in line was. The buns were soft and sweet. I'm convinced that anything from Nantucket instantly makes a dish better. The meat was incredibly tender and juicy, a legitimate melt in your mouth experience. Well-seasoned too, these guys definitely knew what they were doing. Sauce was mild but sweet and definitely got overpowered by the other flavors. Strangely enough the pickles were a big highlight. I don't even know how to begin to describe how delicious these were. Closest thing I can compare them to are the Famous Dave's sweet n spicy pickles, except a lot better. My only regret is not getting more :( once I placed my order I saw the beans and other side dishes come out... never have I craves baked beans like I did in that moment. Next time.

E. A. Brady's is mostly known for their butcher shop, but they also do made to order breakfast sandwiches every Saturday! I saw a post about them recently on their Instagram and was intrigued by the weekly special sandwich as well as the very reasonable prices for what I assumed would be a quality product. I wasn't sure where to go to find the sandwiches, as we walked into the butcher shop on Lyon Street and didn't see anything. The employee at the counter was really friendly and told us to go around to the back of the building, either through the coffee shop or on the path next to the old Marcona restaurant. Sure enough, we found a Blackstone griddle with a whole bunch of eggs and bacon and a small line forming. I got the sausage, egg, and cheese sandwich and Nate got the bacon one. We both added hot sauce mayo (you can also order with extra meat). We popped in to Lyon Street Cafe to grab a coffee while we waited and it was the perfect morning. They said they do the breakfast sandwiches every Saturday starting in April, and they will do it well into November! Each week has a delicious special that they post on Instagram. The sandwiches were definitely high quality and delicious. The egg was perfectly cooked with a bit of runny egg (but not so runny that it makes a huge mess) and the sausage patty was super flavorful and juicy. I loved the soft bun too. This is now one of my favorite breakfast sandwiches in town and I will be there as many Saturdays as I can!

Been there once and will be back within a week. The best chicken breast I have ever had. Its truly Amish and very clean tasting chicken. Not pumped up on steroids. Going to try their homemade bacon next.

I picked up some brats around the time of the Michigan State vs University of Michigan game (2021). I traditionally have some brats or other snacks for [home]brew days in my garage, but this was truly different. The curry brats, blueberry/maple, and Verde chorizo brats in particular were called out as "phenomenal".These brats should be offered as main stays. Wonderful food!

Haven’t purchased a bad cut of meat here…excellent but pricey. Located in a nice group of shops, can get your wine and bread, along with additional delicious items for your dinner. Then relax with a nice cup of coffee and pastry. Sounds like a great way to spend some time. Then go home for a great meal.

Very friendly and knowledgeable. Meats are fresh and well priced. They have pork, beef, and poultry products. I have had difficulty finding pork belly with the skin on, but they offer it both ways. Highly recommend.

National Cheeseburger Day was on Saturday, and instead of going for a 50 cent McDonald's Cheeseburger, we opted for E.A. Brady's $10 Double Cheeseburger w/ all the fixins (pickles & raw onions), and washed it all down with Old Nation's B-43. We love, love, LOVE hamburgers, and this one was well worth the price! The meat patties were thick and grilled to perfection, and the buns they used held the Cheeseburger together - no random bits of bread or meat falling apart in your hands, even with all of the greasy goodness that was oozing out of the burger. I hope they participate in National Cheeseburger Day every year, because I would like to make this a yearly tradition! Aside from National Cheeseburger Day, my husband has ordered his raw Turkey Spatchcocked from them for the last two years for Thanksgiving, and it is well worth the price. They include the innards/neck during pickup, and we've used the neck/bones to make our stock/gravy while smoking the Turkey, and the innards are given to the pups as a nice treat. It's only September, but I've already started to remind my husband to place his Turkey order with E.A. Brady this year. :)
