Finding high quality meats is made a whole lot easier with a local butcher shop you can rely on. In Warner Robins, The Butcher Shop carries a fine selection of premium meats that you cannot find at just any grocery store.While The Butcher Shop has been in the community for many years,David and Amy Dean took ownership in2014. “Our story is a little unique,” Amy says. “I have always been in the business world, but I don’t think I ever realized that I wanted to own my own business.”Amy has over 25 years’ experience in office management but has always had a heart for food. Prior to becoming owners of The Butcher Shop, David had a construction business. He and Amy have always loved to BBQ and frequently catered for family and friends over the years.When the previous owner asked if they would be interested in taking over the business, they happily jumped at the opportunity. The Dean’s bring many years’ worth of expertise to the store. With ample business experience and a pre-existing passion for catering, they are the perfect people for the job. In ten years of operation, they have grown the business to provide customers a premium product that quenches any appetite.The Butcher Shop boasts nearly 30 in-house sausages with a range of carefully curated flavors designed to stimulate your palette and keep you coming back for more.Some of these include beef sausage, turkey sausage, chicken sausage, duck sausage, Boudin sausage, and chorizo. Each in-house sausage uniquely works to create delectable sensations you will never forget.Head Butcher Shain Fricke is a mastermind when it comes to originality. He created their most popular sausage,Kristy’s Hawaiian Mafia. This specialty sausage is named after Shain’s daughter who loves pineapple pizza.“When you bite into it, you feel like you’re biting into pineapple pizza,” Amy says. “It’s got pineapple to make it sweet,bacon, and a little bit of heat.”They carry the highest quality of beef you can find, and they proudly grind it themselves. While they are not configured to fully butcher a cow or hog, they cut and trim the meat by hand. Everything is fresh not frozen, and it certainly shows. In addition to their hand-crafted sausages, they carry pork chops, ribs, sirloin, and a full line of chicken. “Everything that we sell in the store can either be marinated, we can put a rub on it, and we can actually vacuum seal your product,” Amy says.Their vacuum sealer machine extracts all of the oxygen out of the bag so that you can freeze your meat for up to six months without risking freezer burn.Customers love that they can stock up on protein for many months to come.In addition to their premium quality meats,the sell a medley of spices and sauces so customers can prepare these fine meats to their individual taste.They run monthly specials and offer an assortment of side dishes in their market to complete your dinner ensemble.From breads, appetizers, and salads to homemade dessert, they act as a one stop shop for all your needs.Pick up fresh casseroles, dips, stuffed mushrooms, bacon wrapped asparagus, or any number of delicious items to enhance your meal.The Butcher Shop teams knows the importance of excellent customer service. “When you have an exceptional product, you also need to have exceptional service.

Amy explains this is because of their brand angus certified beef and extraordinary service, neither of which can be found elsewhere.“I want our employees to have a good experience working with us, too,” Amy says. She and David are committed to creating a positive work culture for every team member they welcome onboard. They employee both full-time and part-time employees in all walks of life. “We do employee quite a few high school students which I count as a blessing because I love being able to help mold their future career,” Amy says.

Customers can pick up catering from The Butcher Shop, set up delivery, or have on-site service.“On the catering side, we have a few pre-selected menus,” Amy explains. Customers can choose more unique catering like a taco bar, an Italian theme, or their famous Low Country Boil. “The Low Country Boil is a pretty unique option because we come on site and serve that out of a boat. We set the boat up on saw horses, line the boat with plastic, and then dump the Low Country Boil into the boat.”This less-traditional eating experience is a playful focal point for any gathering.Amy talks about her customers with immense gratitude for their business and friendship.
