The Friendly Butcher

They should be called the VERY friendly butcher! Went for the lunch sandwich’s, incredible steak sandwhich and customer service. Fresh food and great tasting meat and produce, will be going back again very soon for more!

Fresh Meat, Fresh everything! Hand crafted to perfection, very good sandwiches, price is very decent an wish they serve all day. good for a quick eat and sleep moment.

Lives up to the name! Always a friendly bunch behind the counter, and everything I buy from there is fresh, and top quality. I love going here for all my meat. It’s hard to say what’s done better here: the friendliness or the butchery, because both are excellent.

The Friendly Butcher is brilliant. In addition to the fantastic meats (and some fish!), the prepared food is excellent — the stews, the soups, all of it. Delicious every time. Love the place and the friendly butcher is friendly! Great place and yes, great sandwiches too! Worth the $$.

The Friendly Butcher has an excellent locally produced, never frozen meat selection. They also do made-​to-​order sandwiches, Get to know Ken and the family – you won’t be disappointed!

As if I needed another reason to love Unilocal,I discovered here that my local butcher shop also makes lunch sandwiches. Since I live with a man for whom the Art of the Sandwich is a religion we immediately ran out the door to check the place out.
The Friendly Butcher isn’t just a name, it’s a fact. Everybody in there is smiling, friendly and banters with customers.
As Andrew A. says, the sandwiches are built around outstanding meat. The steak sandwich is a steak, cooked up after you place your order. No lousy strips of pre-​cooked steak here! Turkey and roast beef are shaved fresh and deliciously juicy. Your sandwich is built on your choice of several breads or buns, including a multigrain that — unlike some that I choke down to feel virtuous — actually tastes great.
Toppings are pretty standard, and even with my minimalist approach (cheese and BBQ sauce) you’ve still got a filling lunch.
My one complaint is that on Saturday they may be out of some bread types and toppings. I can’t bring myself to downrate a star for it, though, since whatever you opt for as your second choice is still awesome. (But feel free to skip hot peppers so there’s some left for me.)

Ahhh the friendly butcher. Where to start. As a butcher shop, the proprietor of this shop (who is overly friendly) provides a wide array of meat (mostly locally grown in ontario). Although the prices are a bit high, the quality is nearly un matched (think cumbraes, pusateris, etc). I wholeheartedly implore you to drive there immediately, and treat yourself to a nice big provimi veal, it is incredibly expensive but so damn good you will curse every steak you ever tasted. Well thats all good and dandy but the reason I visit the friendly butcher is because of their sandwich counter.
Daily, they cook up a huge roast beef, chicken, and fresh steak sandwiches for under $ 7 (thats right). They can make you any deli sandwich you want, but I implore you once again to feast on a roast beef or steak sandwich (he cooks the steak fresh right there in front of your eyes). The bread is always fresh (ace bread bought that morning) and he provides all the meaningful condiments (as well as a very nice spicy chipotle aoili).
If you are in the area, you cant get a better lunch for that price that quick, and since my office is down the street, i find myself there quite often.
Enjoy!
p.s: just had his peameal bacon sandwich, unreal.
