Sterling Goss Purveyors

Great customer service and very helpful. Random offerings and produce if you need something quick!
Don’t forget the sandwiches, they are amazing and handmade!

I’m getting 2 trays of their Mac& cheez loaded (bacon, jalapenos, onions) for a holiday party, 4^th year, its good.
also, the «sammiches» are good too! the GOSS and smoked chicken w blue cheese (on special) is great.
i see some had an issue w meat/​Steaks. unfortunate, However; over the summer i got Strips and rib-​eyes to bring to a suburban BBQ. i knew i would get the chance to compare to Casey’s in WS.
not only were Sterling Goss specialty sausages a big hit for apps; the Rib-​eye looked better and tasted as good or better the Casey’s by most of the 18 people at the BBQ.
Thanks Sterling Goss !

Purchased a pot roast, for Sunday dinner. The meat was wonderful. The meat makes a different from regular pot roast to the best pot roast you’ll ever have. This was the the BEST. I will be going back to try the great selections of sandwiches. I will also be ordering my Thanksgiving Turkey from Sterling Goss.

Man. First negative review. Bummer. Bought sandwiches here before and real good but waited to review until buying meat from this butcher.
I really wanted to love this joint but meat was inferior irrespective of price. Far worse than that was the apparent effort to hide that from me by packing the meat before my arrival as I had called to confirm they had 7# of short ribs. It was packed with only the bone side visible hiding the grey oxidized and heavily silver skinned meat. At $ 6# its twice what I would pay at Olympic and on par with Paulina and Butcher & Larder for conventional beef.
Got home, opened meat and ¾ was grey and had thick silver skin — three chunks were clearly cut from fresh meat and looked good the other 12 not so much. I don’t mind aged meat that goes real grey but only when its me doing the aging and I’m not paying full price for second rate old shit. Strike 1.
Insult to injury when I called to let him know the meat didn’t look so hot the response was «Well what do you want us to do about it?» Strike 2. «How about replace the bad meat… or whatever you think appropriate?»
I asked if he would switch out the grey meat and I would keep the stuff that looked good. Cool with him. So I made the trek back to their shop and was rewarded with the guy insisting that the meat was fine and that it was cut from the same slab as the fresh looking beef. I mentioned that ¾ of the beef was grey… including the cut edges of center cuts. Strike 3.
At this point I fully didn’t trust my butcher so I weighed the meat and I was a full pound light from what I paid for and there was one chunk of the beef I returned. FML.

I haven’t tried their meat, but their tuna and chicken salads are the best! They are SO NICE, makes me wanna go there every day! :)

O my goodness. This place is awesome. I only wish I came in sooner!
For some reason I never thought they would have sandwiches, even though there is a boars head light in the window.
They are super nice, and their italian sandwich is amazing! Right up there with Bari’s, but with better quality meats.
love it!

Got a Ho-​Ka turkey from them for Thanksgiving. Turkey was great, and everyone at the store was helpful and professional.
One small issue, they were having trouble with their credit card machine, it kept disconnecting, and as a result I was charged twice for the bird. I called them up, and getting it taken care of has been the result of two phone calls with a combined total of about 10 mintues.

love their italian sandwich and the chili con queso is like crack… get both and go here the food is really good and the guys I have met that work there are cool

From the first time I walked in, I was treated like a valued customer. These guys are amazing. Go there and ask what’s good, and the butchers will tell you the best stuff and give you tips on how to cook it. The staff is super friendly, and I think that makes all the difference in the world.
We tried Butcher & Larder in UK village before we found SG; good meat but no customer serivce. When we found this place, I lived 5 blocks away. Today I moved closer to B & L, but I still go back to Sterling Goss for my meats. The owner seems to always be working when I go in, and he remembers all the small details, like what neighborhood I moved to.
The price is slightly higher than a grocery store (for better quality meat, naturally), but I am so happy to support a local business!

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this place! I love the selection, I love the freshness and I love the owners. Plus, they have incredible sandwiches. Try the chicken salad or ham and swiss. They cure the ham themselves and get it from a local farmer (who raises the pigs super humanely so I’m told) and it tastes so fresh and delicious — especially with a little mustard! I get the hame and swiss on sourdough but the rye (which it comes on) is just as good. The sandwiches are $ 6.50 and are MASSIVE. Seriously, that is $ 1.50 more than Subway (gross btw) and are GOURMET SANDWICHES!!! There is not a better deal in the city.
Over Memorial Day we bought a couple of 1.5−2.0 inch think pork chops that were OUT OF THIS WORLD. They were already house-​brined and blew my mind. I honestly didn’t know pork chops could taste that great (and I grew up in Iowa).
The great thing about SG is that they are knowledgable and helpful — for instance, they will butterfly the chicken breast for you if you request (because they’re so big) and take their time with each customer to find out exactly what they’re looking for.
Sterling Goss is such a great addition to the neighborhood — sometimes you need patience as they take their time with each customer but it is without a doubt worth the wait! Yum, I want the ham and rye right now!!!

I went into Sterling Goss for the first time this past week, even though I’ve lived in this neighborhood for over 3 years, I had never been.
The gentleman behind the counter (owner?) was really great and was helpful. The food was great and everything tasted fresh. He even gave me a mini sample of their lemon bars… just like g-​ma would make.
They had specials around Valentine’s Day and have fresh-​made sausages. Definitely worth a try!

I was craving some steak and stopped by Sterling Goss to peruse the selection. I was pleased to find that the selection included TallGrass Steaks. I picked up a ribeye, pan roasted it rare. It was delicious. Having a neighborhood butcher (or one hood over) is a beautiful thing.

Love the sausages and the fresh roast beef — I will be heading in for more sausage and steaks for the grill. It’s higher priced than the stores BUT you get full flavor in return plus the QUALITY.

I was looking at photos of food and saw two incredible sandwiches on food spotting (another app). I then walked over to Sterling Goss based off of those photos and found a smoker outside the front door (and when I say smoker I mean a meat smoker and not a person standing there smoking a cig)! I was then blessed to walk through that wonderful smell. I might be falling in love here.
I then met John and I shared how I found them. Next thing I know we are talking food. I then learned that there was ham smoking right outside the front door. Yum! You can not get any fresher then that. I was sad to find out it would not be ready until tomorrow. A reason to come back.
He also showed me there homemade roast beef, which he also makes. Wow did it look delicious. There are a great variety of grass fed beefs here. They also make there own sausage. I love a good butcher shop.
I also noticed many fresh salads. This place would be perfect for the next summer BBQ… unfortunately it is February! Another reason to come back.
I love specialty shops because it is the attention to detail they provide to the customer. I also appreciated John because he was very knowledgeable about food. We could have talked for hours. I want to buy from someone who cares.

Really good homemade sausages, great cuts of meat. The Portuguese sausage they make may be the best sausage I have ever had. The owners are friendly and always helpful if what you want is not in one of the display cases. They are always looking to start a conversation and interested in how you are going to cook the meat you buy. Pretty good sandwiches, too.
Overall, really great to have a place like this in the neighborhood.

Based on some earlier reviews that I’d read, I was on a mission for sausage and cookies. While the house-​made chocolate-​chip cookie was enjoyable but standard, the sausages did not disappoint. The garlic/​swiss was short on cheese and long on pungency (in other words, right up my alley). My anti-​sausage future wife lit candles in the apartment after I cooked those. (How are we going to make this work??)
My favorite was the Italian, obscurely seasoned (e.g. very little fennel and no detectable red pepper) but quite tasty nonetheless. Using quality meat, which they obviously do, goes a long way. The Little Italy is a special concoction with bits of spinach, pepperoni, some kind of cheese, and various seasonings. But I felt that the meat itself tasted overwhelmingly more like beef than pork, and did not allow the nifty goodies to shine through. Maybe it was really was beef, who knows. Anyway, I probably wouldn’t get that again, but I love to see innovation in the realm of encased meats.
The proprietor shows a lot of warmth and that counts for a lot at a small shop. It’s too bad that I don’t live in the neighborhood, because this is my kind of joint. But even though the location is a few miles out of my way, they deserve a spot in the sausage-​buying rotation.

Sterling Goss has AMAZING grass fed steaks. Their sale prices (when they occur) are even more amazing! Their selection is not huge, but everything is high quality. They also have an assortment of sauces, spices, and a heck of a lot more in their «store». Also available — large deli pickles, pre made sides and salads, thick cut bacon, made to order sandwiches… and more. They are so very helpful as well.
update — I recently obtained lamb sausages from Sterling Goss —
.LANTA. Amazing, delicate, so so tasty. Great spice — not hot spice, but flavorful spice. Probably one of the best sausages I’ve had in a while. Again, a little on the pricey side but only when you compare it to a big box grocery store. And you never know where your meat is coming from in those places. Splurge, spend the extra money (if you can) and get great meat. I’ve had nothing but great experiences here.
I’m going to try the Portuguese sausage next.

You know, it really is that extra bit of effort and help that can turn a place from being really good to great. I had come in here to hopefully pick up a rack of lamb. They didn’t have any at the time, but I was told that if I came back in an hour there would be some. They then cut it to what I wanted and I came back to grab it. They were even thankful that I came back (what can I say, I wanted some lamb) and had it all packaged up for me too.
The rack was done perfectly and was great. This was one of the better racks of lamb that I’ve had. I also picked up their last piece of mac n cheese (at least at the time). This was some killer mac n cheese. It took a bit of time to reheat, but it was well worth the wait. Its rich and it fills you up in a big way.
The service was great and friendly. Though Sterling Gross doesn’t have the deep selection that paulina market has, the quality is very high. The prices are reasonable as well for the quality that they are serving up.

I stopped in to surprise my boyfriend with some filet mignon and twice baked potatoes for valentine’s day this year. We don’t really celebrate it, but I thought, why the hell not? A tasty meal is always appreciated.
The two huge filets I got were delicious. And Prime, for $ 27.99 (ish) a pound, when Whole Paycheck wanted the same price for choice. The meat melted in our mouth, and it was just as much a treat for me as it was for him.
Having checked out tenderloin and other goods at similar butcher shops, I have to say that this is a great place to get some red meat. Still the best steak I’ve had, and rival to some of the steakhouses around. I would go here if I were looking for a nice piece of meat.

I typically cook a hearty dinner on Sundays and finding a butcher shop open on a Sunday is no small feat, but I’m happy to report that I no longer have to fight the masses on a Saturday at Paulina Market just to get my meat fix.
Sterling Goss has a small but well-​chosen selection of meats and sausages and the prices seem to be on par with other meat purveyors. They also sell vegetables and I snagged a ready-​to-​eat, perfectly ripe avocado for a salad for only $.99, and I paid $ 1.39 for one that wasn’t nearly as good at my local produce market.
In addition, they also sell made-​to-​order sandwiches, some prepared foods and a few sweets like lemon bars and the softest chocolate chip cookies. I didn’t buy one but I fondled it perhaps a little longer than I should have.
The super-​sweet owner asked me if I was trick or treating and I kind of smiled and he gave me a couple packages of sour rainblo gum just for coming in. Extra props for that.
On any given Sunday, you may just find me here buying some meat for those Sunday dinners and fondling the chocolate chip cookies.
