| - The Butcher's Pantry thinks it's a butcher shop - and it is a fantastic one - but more importantly, The Butcher's Pantry is beginning to realize that there is a definite need in Solon for great, locally owned restaurants and is quickly becoming one of them!
The owner, Taylor Steinhoff, and his staff provide exceptional service and go out of their way to help their patrons understand the various characteristics of the meat they buy. On multiple occasions he has taken the time to pull out various cuts of meat and hold them - as if he is trying to articulate the animal back together - to show how they relate to each other and give a better sense of what I am buying. They have answered questions about the difference between grain and grass fed beef. They have even let customers join them in the back to observe and learn more about their process of cutting the actual meat the customer would then purchase.
They clearly are passionate about the work they do and truly want their patrons to understand what they are buying.
They offer many different cuts of local, grass-fed beef and grain-fed beef as well as local pork. They also offer high quality ingredients needed to prepare the meat as well as many accoutrements to serve with the meal.
I could stop here and this would be a 5-star review, however, like I mentioned, what really sets them apart and keeps me checking-in week after week is the fact that they take all of the passion they have for the meat and combine it with their in-house chef to prepare some of the best barbeque I have ever had.
Every day they use their smoker to prepare a selection of various meats and vegetables such as brisket, pulled pork, pork belly, turkey, barbacoa, polish sausage, italian sausage, beets and many more - those are just the items I have tried! They actively post on their social media accounts to inform the world on what items they will prepare that day and create deliciously inspired sandwiches and BBQ trays until they run out! They also prepare various side dishes that are a perfect accompaniment to the main dish.
If you are a fan of really good sandwiches or really good meat I highly recommend that you give The Butcher's Pantry a try on your next lunch break. They truly provide one of the best meals you can get in Solon.
