Dan’s Food Mkt

It’s stumbling upon places like Dan’s Food Market that continues to impress me about Fishtown. I’ve walked by this store a million times on the way to Berks Station but never knew there was a butcher here until I saw a sign posted on the door. Most of the meats are not out on display, so you’ll probably have to ask Dan for what you need. He was very nice and took the time to prepare the cut of chicken and ground beef that I wanted. This was the first time I’ve ever gotten fresh beef grounded in front of me. Pretty cool. I was also able to pick up some onions. Again, they weren’t out on display but I just asked him if he had any. Saved me a trip to the grocery store. Dan was overall very accommodating and said if there’s ever meat I needed that he didn’t have at the moment, he would be able to get it.
Dan also mentioned he will collect orders for Thanksgiving turkeys. I can’t wait to come back for that from my local butcher!

Small place on the corner… Went in randomly looking to buy some water before I caught a taxi. Bought a custom made breakfast sandwich for $ 3.50! The old couple is really friendly and nice. The old man who made my breakfast sandwich said it was a good sandwich… and yep. delicious.

I work around the corner from Dan’s and go in about once or twice a week, this little market has great lunch specials, fresh meats and good food and really tasty doughnuts. Owner is a nice guy who makes your order on the spot. Place does get a little crowded around lunch time so call ahead if you are in a rush!

Great food, consistent and excellent service. I’ve been going to Dan’s over a year and cant find a better local hoagie spot!

The owner, Dan was working the deli counter when I walked in. He ground me up 2 pounds of fresh ground chuck roast. I’ve never had ground beef made in front of me before! Meat was delicious and high quality. Also has small selection of groceries in the back of the store. I would recommend highly.

My favorite lunch spot!
