Went here for the first time the other night to get fancy steaks to cook at home, could not have been happier. An excellent cut of meat and very helpful staff. Also grabbed the biggest cabbage I have ever seen. We will be returning soon!

A mom-and-pop style store popular for their super fresh meats and daily specials like ham, pepperoni, salami, and tuna Italians at low prices. They also serve up lobster rolls on Fridays at reasonable rates, too. The staff is always friendly and helpful. They treat you like family, and they've been around for decades!

I no longer buy my meats from Hannafords where they use water and pink slim in your burger to add weight, dividing up my burger I'm not left with gross slimy hands from handling my burger, when I make meatloaf its no longer swimming in water waste, there's hardly and drippings in the dish, and everyone who works there has a smile on their face and are ready to assist you

Borques has the best options for meat packages.You can visit them on the web for their weekly specials. You also can go in and pick up a flyer of their weekly specials and a flyer about their meat packages.You order the meat package and it will be ready for you to pick up generally in a couple of days.It’s a wonderful small store with friendly staff that goes out of their way to assist their customers.They also have a small deli that sells hot food such as fried mushrooms, potato wedges and fried chicken and my favorite lobster rolls.I call it one of Lewiston’s finest small grocery stores. They still perform their business like it’s the 50’s Good old fashion respect for their customers.Borques also takes SNAP.Thank you Borques for treating your customers like Royalty! ❤️🇺🇸❤️

Absolutely a one time shopper, very overpriced and half the items are without prices on them or even price tags on the shelf so you walk to the register blind to even what it will be costing you and you better be ready for a jaw dropping total. All grocery shopping is expensive these days but they are on a higher than that level. Plenty of other local owned stores that aren't doing that, I'll stick with other stores and never visit bourques again.

Their deli is amazing! The bread pudding is homemade there and it's the best I've ever had.

This is my favorite local Butcher shop. They have amazing weekly chicken deals and the bacon is always great.

As always, they are super friendly and have a great selection. I like to buy chicken hearts to make dog treats out of. They have best around.

I just watched the butcher get off the phone and proceed to grab my raw chicken breasts with his bare hands. The lady up front explained to me that it was his choice whether or not he wants to use gloves. If the butchers have the option to not use gloves, then they should at least be required to wash their hands after doing other tasks and before handling raw meat. Especially after touching something presumably quite dirty like a phone. I bet the health department would agree with me. What else did he touch before he was on the phone and touching the raw meat? Scary.

Everyone knows Borque's is where you get good cuts of meat but yesterday my pups had their first steak and it was from there. They both said it was 10/10 and would shop there again.

We have been going there since 1985. Was always great, until today. We now go when we are in town. My husband brought the food home, 1 1/2 hrs drive away. The Ham Italians, had 1 thin green pepper slice on it, a thin tomato, 1 in each end, 6 pickles, 6 onions. The Macaroni Salad was awful, don’t know what it was mixed with but it had eggs sliced in half in it, and it was oily, tasted gross. Egg Potato Salad, was uneditable, the potatoes were hard as a rock. Not cooked, cut in cubes/chunks but rock hard. Everything in the garbage.I will pay extra for the just the old stuff. But I will not ever pay for food like this again.Bourque’s from the 80’s through the 2015 is gone. At least the Deli part is….

I generally enjoyed buying my meat here - but just an hour ago, the person working the meat counter grabbed my steak with his bare hand. The other clerks there have always grabbed the meat with paper - but not this guy. Huge turn off for me. Not sure I’ll be back. (Edit: I went back a couple months later - same guy grabbed my pork chops with bare hands. I had him put them back and left. Other butchers have told me I’m not wrong for being turned off by this.)

Went here for lunch. The chicken was undercooked. And the fried mushrooms had a long hair fried into them. This is the second time this has happened. Never going there again.

I just moved here close to the store and found out they have a butcher counter the first time we got steaks from them they turned out to be some of the best we’ve had we since have gone back every weekend and tried a large variety of meats we grill every weekend and only use the meat from Bourques market we have never been disappointed they also have anything you need to have a great grilling experience. Thank you so much

Rude cashier, the store is dirty and I notice they are not sanitizing carts, debit machines etc. I also notice on my receipt their scales are about 3lbs over, so they are charging us for more than we are buying. when we brought it up to cashier, they didn't care and kept weighing and charging people. so I wonder how long they have been cheating people. tried to go here because it's a local business, but not any more. they are hateful and rude. Both scales are weighing over. no manager in store. sad that they are cheating people and don't seem to care.

This is an awesome place. The staff here are so nice, always friendly and helpful, and it's hands down the best butcher shop around, great prices and fresh meat. Definitely shop here first before going anywhere else, they have better quality than any of the chain supermarkets and the people are nicer, too!

We love this place for fresh meat and also packages! They are helpful and you can get exactly what you want. It seems better quality than the grocery store. We have gotten a few other items here, but the meat counter is really what makes this a great place.

I love getting my meat packages from this store and love the prices. My only gripe is the chicken breasts...Why are they so tough? Like every time I purchased them I could not eat it due to the odd muscly texture. All other meats are great and overall a great store...But dang them chicken breasts just can't do it I guess.

Best quality meats and great service. Not sure how people are possibly saying otherwise except perhaps it's their attitude? WONDERFUL small business. Shop local
