Fred The Butcher carries the highest quality dry-aged Prime and Certified Angus Beef in the Capital Region and over 60 handcrafted items from their own smokehouse. They offer dry-aged beef in the store, meticulously cared for in a unique cooler for at least 30 days. During this time, moisture escapes from the meat, resulting in a flavor concentration as the beef shrinks.
Their famous Chairman Reserve Pork is unparalleled, whether in the form of a roast, pork chops, or tenderloin. Customers can rest assured that no solutions or water are added to the pork, as Fred insists on carrying only the best products available.
Additionally, all of their ham, kielbasa, and other meats, including bacon, are smoked in the store using hickory firewood. They pride themselves on offering only the highest-quality products on the premises and even producing their own hot dogs and beef jerky.
For those who want to grab a meal on the go, Fred’s Cafe offers a variety of delicious creations.
