1st time visiting today, was greeted warmly, shown some beautiful cuts of meat, I went with the cheapest product they had to offer...the guys were enthusiastic and eager to tell me how they made their 70/30 ground beef (to be honest it's ground steak, and the most magnificent aged trimmings and fat)...this ground beef was peppered and lightly dusted with garlic salt prior to being lovingly formed into a succulent patty...I grilled on my gas stove top cast iron grill, nothing but the sizzling fat drippings enhancing the roasted flavors, and this meat browned so beautifully...these guys passed the test, they were fired up to sell me their cheapest product, they were full of pride in something most people would view as an inconsequential sale...I'll be back, and I'll look forward to procuring some of their fine cuts of beautifully dry aged beef...this is an artisanal meat shop with skilled and thoughtful craftsmen happily applying their trade. I can't wait to savor the specialty cured meats and bacon I spied in the cooler.
Finally! A real butcher shop in West Hawaii! We love buying from the local ranches, but they are limited to their stock. Kona butcher shop has everything a "foodie" would desire in meat. Nice small selection of cheeses too. Super friendly folks behind the counter.
I was looking for a place to sorce good large FRESH fillet or ribeye for a good price but I was DISAPPOINTED threre was almost nothing in there, anything they did have was AGED when I asked for something fresh he said "here is fresh it's been aged for 130 days" and it had a DEAD FLY on it.
I went in Monday after work. The shop is small, but enticing. There was one other customer, and yet somehow both the proprietors were too busy to acknowledge my presence. The butcher talking story with the single other customer paused long enough to briefly name a few cuts of meat in the case in front of me, and the other butcher made himself scarce. Neither so much as said "We'll be right with you." I wandered the (small) shop for a solid 5 minutes and attracted no further notice from either. No customer likes to be ignored, but when it's three dudes so fascinated by each other that they can't even greet me, a woman, that adds a particular unpleasantness to the interaction. You blew it, butcher bros.
Also really EXPENSIVE I will never go again the guys that work there are absolutely craked.
Incredible aged meats! Expensive but you get what you pay for. Absolutely delicious!
