Hammann’s Butcher Shop Deli & Catering

I waited far to long to make this my go-​to butcher and barbecue haven! Hammann’s is now serving barbecue sandwiches and other dishes at their food truck outside, and all it takes is one smell of that amazing food in the smoker to bring you in! Along with that, the steaks are prime, delicious, from a local farm, and the customer service is first class! We recently ordered a large amount of beef for the freezer, and a substitution I’d requested got missed in the packaging. When I called to ask about it, Rob (the owner) called me back, apologized, made it right and then some, and spent a while on the phone with me giving advice about cooking the cuts of meat I’d purchased. The whole staff are friendly and knowledgable. You need to visit, and soon!

Great service, easy to deal with, reasonable prices and when they have issues they take care of them. Great job with our daughter’s wedding. Thanks

This is the best butcher shop in Cincinnati – hands down. There is a reason they are chosen to handle the menu at Germania Park’s (the real Cincinnati Oktoberfest) annual fall festival. Rob and the guys are old school when it comes to customer service – always quick with a smile, efficient in putting your order together, and a wealth of knowledge when it comes to cooking and grilling. They also make the best ribs in town. Don’t forget the sauerkraut balls. If you go to Mecklenberg, or Hoffbrau House, you are going to pay around eleven bucks for six or seven sauerkraut balls, but if you whisper the secret password to Rob, he will sell you a pound of these delicious concoctions for the same price – and they are 100% better becuase they are made by a German westsider!
PS: I have had BBQ from around the country (especially Memphis), and while Sonny’s is perhaps the best, it is way too far to drive. Grampa Hamman makes a pretty good sizzlin sweet sauce himself, if you are a fan of Memphis style, and he is just around the block. Don’t waste your money on that slop they serve in Montgomery. Anchovies? Really? These people out east have some nerve calling themselves Cincinnatians. Don’t waste your money. You can get a jar of Grampa’s handmade sauce that is twice as big as that Montgomery crap for half the price.

Awesome place run by a nice family.

Awesome. Get the smoked Brisket
