★★★★★ 5.0 Seth Lapriore · Feb 2026

The German Butcher is an absolute favorite lunch spot of mine and consistently makes high quality, large portion hot & cold sandwiches of all types! They also have a changing selection of ready-to-eat hot food such as buffalo chicken egg rolls, mac and cheeses, sweet & spicy chicken, nonna's meatballs, etc. etc. They have excellent chicken salad (my favorite) and a larger selection of cold salads, salsas, vegetables, meats, etc all which appear to be fresh. The ordering process is convenient and fast, and although prices are slightly higher than other comparable delis and lunch spots in the area, it is proportional to the quality and serving sizes- they deliver!

No one compares to their grade of fresh meats especially during the holiday season. Love their holiday menu and their sides are a must try. They offer the same day digital gift cards, it's great for anyone, anytime of the year. It's also a great place to have lunch. I've known of this place for over 25 years and never heard anything bad or negative about them. Thank you Wolfe Gang.

★★★★★ 5.0 Jeremy Konkus · Feb 2026

The quality of the meats are amazing! Thats all I went for so that's all I can attest to but if everything else is on par with the meats then it all must be amazing! Everything did look amazing and the market was swamped with customers and I've heard nothing but good things! I miss the old German butcher I grew up going to with my mom and that's what drew me to this place and im so glad I let the curiosity get the best of me because I will be returning! Also..... I did get a giant pretzel and it was also delicious!

★★★★★ 5.0 Bob Natiello · Mar 2026

Now, this is a great value AND delicious, too ! On Lacey Road n Route 9, the German Butcher currently has great deals with mouthwatering meal possibilities. We personally have stocked up on 1/2 price pint or quart of WOW chicken soup. And, just revel over what's available for St. PATRICK'S DAY! SHORT RIDE... GREAT CHOICES! Bob
