J & B Butcher Shop

The woman that manages or owns the place is very rude… unfriendly.

Love their marinade steak tips, chicken salad (with walnuts and cranberries), shepard’s pie, and stuffed peppers. Staff are friendly and courteous. If you join their rewards club it can save you some money after so many visits (10 visits I believe). They are my favorite butcher shop. Definately worth visiting!

I am super picky when it comes to meat and this place is the best! We have never been disappointed in anything that we have gotten here and the filets are amazing. I recently decided to try out their stuffed chicken breast with pepperoni and motzarella and it was incredible. My only complaint is that I want to buy way more than is on my list every time I come in!

This place is great! They have a really good choice of meat and they’re all delicious!
It’s pricey but definitely worth the money spent.

Get your basic grilling supplies (condiments, produce, basic meats, etc.), at your regular Hannaford or Market Basket or whatever — get the good stuff here. This is not a large shop, but I’ll take quality over quantity here.
The counter on the left has a great assortment of steaks and chops. The cooler and freezer sections have more cuts of various meats and poultry, and even some prepared fish selections — not something you see everywhere. All the way around to the right, there’s a lot of sealed, pre-​marinated meats and poultry. The house chicken tenders were okay, the lime cilantro turkey tenders were great. As far as the prepared salads, again the coleslaw was okay but I really liked the potato and egg salad. They also had a display stand with someone promoting some specialty sauces today.
It might be a little tough to find the first time. You have to know to go around to the back of the building, and you’ll find the store at the ground level.

This place has really good marinated steak tips and chicken breast. It’s pricier than the meat you buy from the supermarket, but well worth it. The meat is good quality that you’d expect from a butcher shop.

This is definitely at 5 star butcher shop. I got some steak tips there for a tailgating party over the weekend.
I can’t give it 5 stars however because of the customer service. The lady behind the counter was almost rude.
She didn’t really care what I wanted. Just tried to sell me what she wanted. She actually walked away!
I was in there two times and it was the same both times. There was a younger guy who was much better.
Shame great meat but the help could pick it up a notch.

Expensive but delicious! Try the caribalo chicken, it is amazing, I can’t stop eating it!

I called J&B on the phone, because I needed veal shank for Osso buco.
They ordered it for me and had it when promised two days later, then fresh cut the shanks to my specifications. The price was quite reasonable. The people there are friendly and helpful. The store had some beautiful cuts of meat, and the sausages look great. We will be returning. If you live in the area, do some business with them. The quality of the meat at this store clearly surpasses what is available at the local supermarkets.

My wife and I are there on a weekly basis. Best meat around, no comparison! The Carribbean steak tips are the best I have ever eaten! The service is outstanding. As for prices, I think they are fair considering the quality of the meat and the mouth watering flavor!

I used to be a fan of Mckinnon’s Market, particularly the one in Salem, NH, however, I found their quality to go down, so I began going to J & B.
This shop is tiny compared to Mckinnon’s, but amazingly, you can get virtually all of the same cuts of meat, and lots of different marinaded options. The quality is much better, as I find the flavors much bolder, and the meat more tender. The prices are fairly comparable also.
One way they surpass Mckinnon’s is their points system. If you sign up, you’re issued a card that gets scanned with every purchase (double points on Tuesdays). When you reach $ 150, you get a $ 10 gift card.
The store is seemingly always empty. Maybe it’s just the time of the day that I go. Stop by and give them some business.

We are so thankful we found J&B Butcher. The meats and marinades are delicious, especially the chicken! The staff is very friendly and answers any questions, and they’re also very receptive to special requests for meat cuts/​sizes if you don’t see what you want in the case.
They also have a points rewards system that’s nice, for every $ 150 you spend you get a $ 10 gift card.
If you’re looking for meats in the Tewksbury area this is the place to go. I’ve heard equally as good things about their Hampstead location from friends as well.

We didn’t know how good we had it until we moved away: o (
I miss you J&B Butcher Shop!
Great marinated steak and chicken.

Always great to have a nice butcher shop around. This was a huge concern of mine when I first moved to the area. The meats at the local supermarket were not a great quality. I usually would drive to Butcher Boy, or McKinnons to get quality meats. I do enjoy the marinated meats greatly. My favorite for the chicken is the buffalo fingers, and buffalo wings. They seem to be two different marinades. For steak tips, the Teriyaki, Carribean, and Sweet Asian Chili are probably my top 3. The Garlic and Cheese is great too, just heavy on the Garlic. For Turkey tips chinese style are the way to go. The ribs are great slow-​cooked in the oven for a few hours.
I will usually go out of my way to pick up food here instead of the local supermarket.

This butcher shop is great! I shop here about once a month, more in the summer grilling months. I always leave with dinner for several nights. The stuffed chicken is so delicious; I get the spinach and feta while hubby goes for mozzarella and pepperoni. Both very good!
This past weekend I was hosting a dinner party for 8 people. I wanted to make a roast beef but was unsure of how many lbs to get. The helper butcher boy was able to recommend the amount, which was right on target with just enough left over to make a beef stew! I chose a top sirloin at 6.99 a lb and everyone raved at how good it was. It was very tender and tasty!
The marinated chicken and beef tips are really good, all the flavors are tasty! Garlic and cheese chicken is my hubby’s favorite!
I will continue to shop here for my meats. Bravo!

J&B is nice little butcher shop that has every kind of meat you could want. One day I wanted to get a couple of really nice steaks for my fiancé and I to enjoy on the grill so i stopped into J&B and picked a couple out I should have asked what the prices were cause the 2 Delmonico’s i got were $ 26. So I went home and made the steaks and they were probably the best steaks I’ve had. Great marblization not too much fat.
J&B also has packages you can get that are anything from a tailgating package to a all out «hey we’re having a giant family cookout and need a ton of meat’s» package. If you are looking for a top notch Butcher shop in Tewksbury this is the place. If you don’t care that you are eating meat that should have just been thrown out. Go to Market Basket I’m sure the 18 year old «butcher» knows exactly how to help you.

I am going to give this Butcher Shop 3 –stars having been in there for the 1^st time today.
I was (still am) on the hunt for corned beef. Yeah, I know. It’s still St Patrick’s week… and I have hit 5 Market Basket’s, 1 Shaw’s and 1 Hanneford’s looking for corned beef to make some «boiled dinner» since I missed out on the actual holiday.
I figured my hunt would end here. Well… I did find some. 15lbs of it… at $ 5.00 a lb.
Since I need about a ¹⁄₅ of that for my boiled dinner, my hunt rages on.
Finding this butcher shop, I set my GPS to the address… but roll up to a fancy little plaza… but I do not see any butcher shop. Take a little jaunt around the back of this plaza… and you’ll see it tucked away into a corner.
A tiny little shop… with just a few people milling about.
I am a big fan of «The Butcher Boy» in North Andover… but obviously, coming from Billerica, Tewksbury is a bit more local.
This place is no Butcher Boy…
However, I figured with such a small place that pretty much is just a meat shop, they would have really friendly staff. Well… maybe you have to be a regular to get a hello… I dunno.
I looked around a bit more… didn’t see anything else that really struck me enough to buy anyway… however, their choice of steaks, etc looks good. I am sure I will be be back to get a better look and give things a go.
Just don’t expect a Cheers-​like atmosphere. :)

Full service butcher shop. Has marinated this and that, Boar’s Head deli meats, Steaks that look reallly good, angus burgers, a variety of produce, potato, mac salads, packaged meats, frozen fish, imported extras. I got the teriyaki beef chunks (too big to call tips!) Very flavourful and wonderfully tender. Buffalo chicken wings, not too hot, had a marinated taste, ok. I think I prefer them with batter and deep fried. Potato and egg salad was good with no unusual flavours. I think they use a vacuum marinator (forces marinade into meat) which works well with the beef. Whatever your butcher needs I think they will supply you nicely. Prices fair considering the quality.
