Godfrey Bros

Definitely the best place to get meat in York county. They’re incredibly busy given their location, but they’re also incredibly fast. I’ve never waited long in line.
I spent a whole day calling the bigger grocery stores in York trying to find someone who carried Ham hocks so I could make our traditional ham and green beans, and I couldn’t find anyone who carried it. I finally decided to call Godfrey Bros. and they had them!
I would give them a 5 star rating except I think there could be improvements in the customer service area. None of the employees were ever rude or mean, but some of them come off just a bit antisocial.
Yeah, I know… It’s a butcher in York county — you don’t really expect to be pampered, but a little less meat and a little more sweet couldn’t hurt.

Excellent service, price and quality! I will definitely be back and highly recommend

now that I’m back in northern California and am paying $$$ for best grassfed sustainably raised artisan small farm local etc. etc. meat, all I know is once in a while, I would get something as good as what I used to get from Godfre’s Bros for the 3 years I was in York — except their prices were a fraction of what I’m now paying. Their beef are simply the best. I have tried other butchers’ in the area, Godfrey’s was still my #1 source for beef. All the friends and family who visited me out in York used to say the same thing. The raw (frozen) marrow bones that they sometimes call «dog bones» and sell for dirt cheap, that stuffs make the best beef stock. I used to buy from them at the New Eastern Market in East York on Friday, which was much more convenient for me than going out to their main store. Their sweet snacks (beef-​jerky like sticks) are also great. My husband asks about those things every now and then, I wish I can order online. I miss Godfrey Bros !

This was the location that provided the twenty something pound turkey for Thanksgiving this year. I was staying with some of my best friends in Jacobus and this place is right down the road. They provided a turkey, which was massive, but you can tell that this place is old school. The kind of butcher shop, and I know they are much more so please take that as the compliment it was intended to be, that your parents went to.
I dreamed of a place like this where I could shop and have fresh, tasty, quality food close by. For me I will live vicariously through my friends that lives right down the road.
«The Good»
— The selection is great as it is with cases of meat… beautiful, beautiful meat. The case on the far right even has cheese.
— In addition to the giant Fred Flintstone sized Turkey that tipped the car over. The ham steak that provided the Thanksgiving day breakfast was pretty fantastic too.
— To quote my (now) local friend that lives there… the meat is fresh. How fresh??? There is livestock in the field across the street.
«The Meh»
— I am originally from a beach town in Jersey so I can relate to how locals treat locals and how they treat people that are «new»… Its not that they do not know how awesome you are, its most likely the first time they have seen you in a place where people have been coming to for years… So crack a joke make the ladies behind the counter smile and all will be well with the world. Besides you should always treat the people that handle your food with respect anyway ;)
«The Bad»
— The goofball non-​local in the line that asks for a Turduckin one day before Thanksgiving… really dude?
