McCarroll’s The Village Butcher

Went in with friends over the weekend after hearing their rave reviews of the breakfast sandwiches. My sausage, egg, and cheese did not disappoint. I got mine on the French Bread (again based on friends recommendation) with a touch of hot sauce, and it was delicious. The eggs were cooked fresh, and there was an equal amount of sausage egg and cheese to cover the entire sandwich, they didn’t skimp.
The staff taking our orders were extremely friendly, and the prices for sandwiches were reasonable. Mine was just under $ 4, which I thought was fair. I can’t say much else about the store, aside from what I purchased. But, it looked like they had some interesting local products — there were employees handing out samples of what appeared to be a local hot sauce, which was cool.
If it weren’t so far from me, I would definitely make this a regular place to visit and try out some other options. I’ll be visiting again on my way to the hiking trails for sure!

Legendary breakfast sandwiches. This place is a true Bethlehem landmark. Everybody I know loves the food made here. Will always recommend the Bacon egg and cheese on French bread to any friend. The blueberry scones are also one of my favorites!

I’m sold after only one visit… I mean, how could I not be? These egg sandwiches are incredible.
In theory, creating a well-​made egg and cheese sandwich isn’t a difficult undertaking. You cook the egg, you melt the cheese, you throw them both in between a bread of your choice, and, well, that’s it. In reality, however, creating an exceptional egg and cheese takes more than that. McCarroll’s seems to have found whatever that is.
I came to McCarroll’s on an especially busy Saturday morning in November. The line at the counter was at least fifteen people deep. Many of the patrons were ordering multiple sandwiches at a time and it was remarkable watching the McCarroll’s staff pumping them out just as fast. The sandwiches were not prepped ahead of time, rather the operation is just that efficient. You can order the sandwich in any number of combinations, from choosing the bread to selecting the meat. I opted for the standard egg and cheese on a hard roll with bacon. Everything about the sandwich was awesome. The egg was cooked to perfection, as it was pulled from the flat-​top grill at just the right time for the yolk to be mostly cooked through, but remained just a bit runny at the very center. The bacon was a good accompaniment, but not necessary, as the egg and cheese could stand tall on their own. Normally, I’m a ketchup on my eggs sort of guy. I didn’t use so much as a drop on this sandwich because it was that good on its own.
I look forward to returning to McCarroll’s to sample other deli offerings and many, many, many more breakfast sandwiches.

I live nearby making this a staple. The egg sandwich can’t be neat. Fresh hard roll choice of cheese and meat for a very affordable price. It’s a highlight to this place but thy have so much more. The subs are awesome too. Big and made to order. They have a traditional deli counter with many special meals ready to go. The salads are great for lunch or, you can go to one place and get an instant picnic. The fresh butcher steaks, ground meat and other cuts are ready for the BBQ.

McCarrolls is great if you need breakfast sandwiches, salads, Deli meat, steak, chicken, sausage, spices and it’s a grocery store. The owner is great and employee are very nice and knowledgable.

I’ve only been there for the egg sandwich, but that is worth a special trip.

This is the friendliest place on earth. Everyone who works there greets everyone who comes in like they were their cousin. Best breakfast sandwiches in the area. The college kids can always be found reuniting their for breakfast when they come home over the holidays.

I’m a bit embarrassed that I’ve never done a review of McCarroll’s, considering I’ve been going here for as long as I remember. They catered a couple of my events, they were always there when I ran out of something, and didn’t feel like going to one of the further/​larger stores, their breakfast sandwiches are the best in the area, and they make the best sub in Delmar. They also carry meat products from Oscar’s Smoke House, which is one of my favorite in the country, as well as all the raw meat/​spices/​bbq sauces/​bread products/​etc… that you need to make your BBQ a success. Whether stopping by on a stroll for a drink of Stewart’s Orange Cream Soda, or some Maine Lobster Tracks ice cream, I’ve never left here empty handed. For catering, they make phenomenal sandwich platters, as well as potato salad, macaroni salad, baked ziti, and anything else that you can think of.

This morning’s egg & cheese sandwich on a roll more than hit the spot… I’m already thinking of my next one! Simple breakfast sandwich that’s thoroughly satisfying & more-​ish! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE those McCarroll deli folks!

Amazing ! Wonderful staff, so helpful and friendly. Love the place, hope they are here for forever !

Breakfast sandwich are good but overrated. Went in for a sub today. Called the order in ahead of time. Phone rang for about two minutes before anyone picked up. Got to the store twenty minutes later. Was standing at the glass at the deli for 20 minutes and was completely ignored. I waited patiently for another ten minutes and two more people came in and the clerks looked right at them and called them by name and completely ignored me after I have been right in front of them. Keep in mind this is at 11:30 on a Monday. The store was dead. Maybe I should have spoke up but at the delis I’m use to, you are typically waited on in the order you came. I would recommend taking the extra drive and going to a place like pelligrinos.

Awesome breakfast sandwich.

Their egg sandwich is a testament to my individual willpower; that being that I don’t eat these things everyday. I’m sure the calorie count is a bit high for my sedentary life style but alas I allow myself one a week.
The choices for egg sandwich heaven are plenty, bacon, sausage, ham, cheese, French bread or hard roll. Mine, well I love the «Irish». It is the egg, cheese and corned beef hash on a hard roll. What makes it great is that you get a perfect combination of egg, cheese and meat in every bite!
The routine: order your sandwich and go get a nice cup of coffee at the other side of the store. Chat with john a little bit and get back to pick up your piping hot sandwich! Enjoy!

Breakfast sandwiches. Go. Get. One.
The line might be a little long but the wait is not. The McCarroll’s have the grill going non stop.

The word that comes to mind, when I think of McCarroll’s, is FRESH. The breakfast sandwiches, which are the best that I’ve ever had (and I’ve had quite a few) are made with fresh ingredients right in front of you. The subs and prepared meals are also made with care, and it shows. McCarroll’s is a great butcher, and everyone that lives in the Bethlehem area is lucky to have it here!

If you live in Delmar, you already know that McCarroll’s makes a pretty kickass egg and cheese sandwich in their deli. They get their rolls fresh from Prinzo’s, and do a great job at toasting them on the griddle with plenty of butter.
To some, this is the pinnacle of our local take on egg and cheese on a hard roll.
For me, they toast the roll a bit aggressively, and that dominates the flavor of the sandwich, plus their grill runs a bit hot, and crisps up the egg whites to a lacy brown. I consider this overcooked. Others delight in the crispy bits.
Still, if you are in the area, and it’s morning, and you are hungry. This is the place for you. Or, if you are going to the Delmar Farmers Market, this is a good place to stop in before you start stocking up on local foods.
Never shop hungry. Even at the farmers market.
