Butchers
“This is the place to buy meat. The difference between here and the grocery store is mind blowing. Pro tip get your lunch meat here too. Their lunch meat is half the cost of the store and last double in the fridge.”
“Awesome butcher shop! The owner remembered my birthday when he was hooking me up with my brisket order and made sure to wish me a happy day :) It's the little things. He was also super punctual with my order! Overall great experience!”
“4.5 stars. Hamid Chaudhry deserves a lot of credit for turning the Shillington Farmers Market around since he acquired it in late 2017. In the middle of 2017, the Shillington Farmer's Market was 2/3 empty and seemed very likely it was going to shutter as the few remaining vendors were considering other options. Since then, the market has greatly expanded not only the number of vendors it has but the variety as well. There are a few long-time vendors which are there from the old Shillington Farmer's Market (Museum Road and Lancaster Ave.) including Salino's, Balthaser's Meat, reopened Betty's Classic Deli Salads, and a bunch of new ones. It has almost all of the basics covered if you need seafood, meat, produce, etc. There are also a few takeout food options (subs, Thai, Latin soul, BBQ, sushi and Korean) along with the Shillington Market Cafe which offers generous portions, modest prices, and decent, basic food. If you have food allergies (Gluten) or are a vegetarian/vegan, it is lacking in options but you can say the same of any farmer's market in Berks County including Wyomissing and the Fairgrounds Farmers Market on the 5th Street Highway. Ditto if you are looking for a lot of fresh herbs/seasoning as well as specialty food items. I still prefer the Fairgrounds Farmers Market but this is a convenient and easy location to get to from my parent's houses that offers reasonable prices and a wide array of vendors to meet most customer's needs. It could use a top-scale bakery with a wider array of fresh bread products as well as a killer taco place. It still amazes me that the Reading area still doesn't have a really great and authentic taco place given the Latino population including Mexican residents in the area. Tip - Make sure you bring cash too because there are at least several vendors who only accept cash.”
“I have been a customer of Smoketown Meats for a long time. The quality, service, and selection is top notch! Over all of these years, I have never, not even once, found a piece of gristle in my ground meat. That, for me, goes a long, long way! Every cut of meat, or slice of cheese has always been excellent. I am grateful to have the ability to buy my meat from Smoketown. I do not buy grocery store meat, I get it here. Phil, Adam, Krista, and the rest of the crew do a fantastic job! Thank you!”
“Absolutely excellent beautiful work beautiful people great food amazing people I've recommended to the world that's what we need an establishment with love an offering to the community thank you have a good day”
“Been shopping here for as long as I can remember & I'm over 60. Pleasant staff and knowledgeable, always helpful as to what I need even if I'm not sure of what I am looking forward for. Always a good selection of quality meats and has never had a recall of their products. Thanks, Leininger Family for being there consistently over the years.”
“It's refreshing to go to shops where the workers are friendly to everyone even though they are working their tails off. Food sold is great and reasonable price.”
