| - I went here today. I have been going to Larrys for about 8 years. Not going back.
I go about 4 times a year and stock up. Ran out of some items a couple months ago purchased a rack of ribs to slow cook in oven. Before they have cooked so tender no knife needed. This past trip, the counter person says, I have to open a new bag. Huh? Anyway, bought them, cooked them the same as before but no joy. Too tough and fatty. I chalked it up to either a bad selection (which I didn't get to choose) or new supplier. Just told myself not get ribs there anymore.
Today was looking at the ribeye steaks. They looked terrible. Looked like gristle running through center of the steak, and small and overly fatty - not neatly trimmed at all. Didn't get that, got ground beef instead. When I got home, when I went to repackage for the freezer, it just didn't look right and texture seemed different. Will see when I cook it if it is different or not.
At register just because, I mentioned it looked different inside - did the place get new owners. Turns out yes, new owners. I don't know that the new owners changed suppliers, but I am guessing it is either that or buying a lower grade of meat.
I hate to give a bad review of starting businesses, but I go to a butchers expecting to pay higher prices for a higher quality product. I could have gotten the same or better at the regular grocery store from what I saw today.
Never again.
