Butcher around Bensalem PA?

[slimc]

I'm looking for a local butcher and can't find anyone around Bensalem PA. The only place i've been able to get a whole brisket is at my local Giant, and it's EXPENSIVE at $80

I've tried the Amish market in Bristol but they only gave me the flat when I asked for a whole brisket and the packaging sucked for storing in the freezer.

Any suggestions welcome thanks!

Yes they are either terrible "bulk " meat stores with Shoddy packaging or Asian meat stores, no "true butchers" that I know of . Yelp also lists the grocers as butchers but it's not the same

Today almost everything gets slaughtered in a factory. The few that are not get done by custom butchers.

I searched Bensalem PA "custom butcher"

This link seemed to have a good list.

Tonys Meat Store in levittown. Still cuts to order here. Tell him what your doing with the cut and he'll set ya up. Little more than the brick and mortars but worth it. Usually order in advance. You can also check out City Beef in Trenton Nj.

I got Butcher Shops all around up here near Macungie, but the only time I get anything from them is specialties, like Pork Bellies.

Most of the time I get my Meats from Weis, Giant, or Redners.

Things like Butts, Briskets, Ribs, etc are way more expensive from the actual Butcher shops & not enough difference in quality.
