The Country Butcher And Deli - Groton

I rarely give 4-star ratings, as a place has to be truly exceptional to earn it, and this restaurant definitely deserves it! My only complaint is that their chicken salad (the mixed kind with mayo, not the green salad) is so incredibly delicious that they frequently run out of it. The steak and cheese subs are fantastic, and the chicken, bacon, and ranch sub is outstanding (though I'm not sure if it’s officially on the menu). They also offer fresh soup all year round. I occasionally buy chicken breasts, hamburgers, and steaks here as well. I sometimes call ahead to pre-order cold cuts by the pound, and they are the only place in the area that consistently cuts them exactly how I like. They truly understand what “thin” means. The staff is incredibly friendly. This is my favorite spot in Groton!

Under new management, and killing it. I was a little worried when I heard someone else bought the place under new management, but I have to say, I think they 're even better. It 's comical to read my original review. This place has been a staple for me and it is a true gem in this community and town. I am so grateful it exists, and here 's why. The subs are still excellent. Note: as of this writing they do not so hot subs on the weekend, only cold. I wish they did amd hope they will soon. New management has improved the floor plan and the meat storage. The counter is all now one long counter and more people can fit inside now. The meats are AMAZING. We cannot stop drooling over this place. Get a bag of marinated steak tips they are better than a restaurant. Just grill them up. Tender, juicy, flavorful. So good. Get a bag of marinated chicken wings just bake 'em. So large, so juicy and the flavor is unbeatable. Also better than a restaurant. I almost don 't want you to know how good this place is because I want it all for myself! But please, please please please go here and take some meat home and revel in how awesome your life is that you get to eat such high quality and flavorful meats!!!!!!

I absolutely adore this restaurant. The staff is friendly, and the meats are exquisite. They also offer fresh, amazing sandwiches and the best cookies I've ever tasted.

This place changed ownership just recently and the new owners are wonderful. I don't do a lot of reviews but this place is great if you are looking for a GREAT sandwich or sub. Great chili too!!!They also have a beautiful selection of beef and fresh seafood! Here is my scale of 5-10 on the sandwich/ subs, soup that I have had. I do wish they invested in a high speed oven toaster because I love toasted Italian subs. But non the less I highly recommend!! SCALE: 10- out of this world- rarely given 9- spectacular 8- great 7- good 6- fair 5- don't bother Chili-8.5 Tuna salad-9 Steak and cheese-8.5 Roast beef-8.5 Turkey-8 Italian-8 Hot dog-5, they need to do natural casing. Skinless doesn't work for me. It was a little mushy.

Awesome subs! Best steak and cheese I've had in years. It is easy to miss if you're driving by, however, we turned around and glad we did. Definitely must try it! We will be back again with a cooler to buy meat to bring home.
