Bowman's Butcher Shop, Aberdeen MD

Nice inventory and friendly employees. Had Thanksgiving here and everyone loved the turkey! Also buy my chicken here

Always get excellent products here and the staff/owners are very friendly knowledgeable and helpful. Thanks as always

Bowmans is the best around! Always an amazing selection with unique cuts of meat/seafood. They are a VERY busy butcher shop, so some patience is needed if you go in to get things (I feel they prefer the online ordering system as it gives them time to get everything you need). So many times I’ve walked in and if something is not in the fridge or freezer, they will go and vacuum seal it fresh for me! I just feel they go above and beyond and the customer service is always top notch. I normally speak with Sophie and she is always so sweet (all the ladies there are!). Highly, highly recommend!

The staff were very polite and helpful according to my wife. My wife bought some burgers from here. I had previously heard good things as well.
I'm just going to say this, I'm an avid deer hunter. I know venison when I taste it. It had the clear somewhat gaminess, and texture to an extent but with beef mixed in. The giveaway was the flavor. I would say it was more like 25% venison, remaining was beef. There was a clear venison flavor mixed in with that hamburger.
My school of thought goes to that they are either using the same equipment to cut venison and beef simultaneously, maybe not cleaning up as they should between different cuts (I want to give benefit of the doubt) or it's a shady operation and they are mixing venison with beef and misrepresenting it. Y'all can make your own judgements and determination based on that if you want. Just stating what I tasted. Pattie sausage also had the same flavor like it was mixed with venison or ground in the same equipment as without proper cleaning in between.

That being said, my wife and I will most likely return to our previous butcher prior to trying this one.

The best, the freshest. They also stock more unusual cuts like ostrich, alligator, boar, and venison. And the marbling in the wagyu looked amazing.

Always the best place anywhere near Harford County for great cuts of meat. Very good service, and excellent meats.

Great experience with this Butcher shop. They are very friendly and extremely helpful. Their monthly and holiday boxes are awesome and reasonably priced. So glad we found them!

If you want good quality meat by family-owned business and this is the place to go. Shop local buy local

Found this shop today while looking for Pork Belly. The staff were so friendly, customer service was really top notch. This is now my go to for most of my meats. I went in for Pork Belly and left with Tri-tip, scrapple, maple sausage, all beef hotdogs, and two slabs of pork belly.

The young ladies behind the counter made us feel like we have been customers all along.

We will be seeing you guys more often.

Added a picture of the Pork Belly strait off the smoker just because.

Best Butcher in Maryland. So happy I found this amazing place. Anyone looking for good prices and amazing quality meat I suggest you try this. They even have goat, ostrich, and buffalo meat. Pictured is a chicken and a pork butt that I smoked all day. Turned out amazing.
I give this place 10 Stars if I could. They also have freezer packages with lots of different meat in it for a very reasonable price. Happy Eating!

I love this place. Only place I've seen that makes South African Boerewors, (Beef Sausage) I love it.

We've been ordering the monthly butcher boxes for three months and are always impressed. The quality of the meat is excellent and the customer service is phenomenal. Not everything included in the box is something I would normally buy, but it has pushed me to try some new items and I've always been pleasantly surprised. We definitely won't be planning to buy our meats from the grocery store anytime soon.

Butcher boxes are a great deal. Everything is packaged well and labeled. All cuts are amazing quality.

Great, quality meat at an amazing price, you can watch them butcher it right there on the spot.

I was planning to order my meats for Christmas dinner from a well known online butcher, but I decided to find a local butcher. Fortunately, Bowman's Butcher was literally just up the road from my home (less than a 10 minute drive). I read the reviews and reviewed their website and decided to order. BTW their website is a GREAT resource about what they offer. My brother is the "chef" and with his help I placed my order - prime rib and a couple racks of lamb. He mentioned how impressed he was with the quality of the meat and the marbling. We will definitely be ordering from Bowman's again, looking forward to some dry-aged steaks. My guests were equally impressed with the meat and several asked where I got it from. The meat was a better quality than what I recently purchased from a local grocery chain. So glad that I chose to order from Bowman's Butcher.

Unfortunately, both the good and the bad reviews are accurate. Food quality is generally always good. Service is absolutely horrible; in person not as bad, but beware if you do ANYTHING by phone. Had beef killed at their site, placed the cut sheet and was given a pick up date. THREE WEEKS later, one of the newer counter workers told me that I had never spoken to her about anything (although I gave her dates and time). Worse now is that their is another person who will never allow you to speak to Alice. Have been going here for more than 15 years. IF I can pick up my beef, I won't be back, for anything.

I purchased a bottom round roast for Christmas dinner. The young lady that waited on me was excellent she directed me in every aspect of seasonings and cooking and the roast was excellent. I am sorry I didn’t get her name so I could let everyone know who she is. My family raved about it. So if you need any form of roast or other types of meat they have a great selection. So go check them out you won’t be sorry.

Food was prepared and ready for pickup on time. So far all the meats I have got from them has been great. I appreciate there hard work thanks Steve
