My favourite butcher in the lower mainland. Good sandwiches and rib-eyes. Plus they sell great rubs, cowboy and texas ones.

They make amazing chicken sandwiches. Great place to grab a quick lunch around railtown. Just wish it was a tad cheaper.

Sandwiches were great (although a touch salty). Price isn't compelling compared to alternatives of comparable quality, but deliciousness goes a long way.
