Riverside Butcher Co. 49 Main Street, Damariscotta, ME 04543

"So nice to have daily access to clean, fresh meat close to home. Fresh tastes sooo much better than packaged/preservative grocery store protein. Everyone behind the counter is professional, knows their stuff, and very helpful if you have questions. All my friends and family that come to visit mid coast Maine, I recommend they shop here, well worth the stop."

"Way more than a butcher shop! This place is awesome. It certainly has a great selection of meats but also a huge variety of wines, pastas, and sauces. Stop here to pick up provisions for a great Italian dinner at home like we did!"

"An amazing, real butcher shop with local meats and treats. The wine selection chosen by August is exquisite and well priced for the quality. The butchers behind the counter have complete knowledge of everything they sell and can give you advice for pairings and flavors. Go. Now!"

"This place is the best butcher shop I’ve ever been to! The sheer smell when you walk in the door will blow you away. They also stock lots of high quality items. All of the meats under the counters and in the fridges looked and smelled amazing. The speck was one of the best pieces of meat I’ve ever had! Greatest butcher shop ever!"

"These guys are the bomb! Talk about amazing, old school customer service and quality - Riverside Butcher is seriously firing on all cylinders. They’re my go-to gift for my elderly parents living in Damariscotta. They don’t need more stuff and would just re-gift it anyways - so I send edible presents to fill their bellies. It’s so easy to call and get a treasured, appreciated gift taken care of. My folks are always giddy when I surprise them with a gift certificate and meat deliciousness. This time around I sent my dad’s favorite - he loves a thick center cut pork chop. He’s a young 90 this July but he still loves to cook! When he eats pork chops, he calls me to say, “ I’m having porker after porker” because he can’t stop eating it!! He just called me laughing and excited when he received his Father’s Day delivery! Thanks August - you guys are the best!!"
