Howard's Market & Deli

User Rating: 5 out of 5 stars

When my caterer didn't show up, I was in a panic. Howards was a life saver! With less than an hour before my guests were to arrive, Howard and his excellent staff put together some excellent part platters of meats, cheeses and fruit. They then were able to put together enough ribs and chix for 25 people. Everything was wonderful!

Average for a gourmet market. Their prepared foods, meat, and fish is definitely better than the supermarket, but far from phenomenal. I miss King's.

I would recommend staying away from Howard's Market in Boca Raton. If you must shop here then make sure you get what you pay for.

I pre-ordered 2 first-cut briskets. They were wrapped and sealed when I picked them up. I opened them on Thanksgiving to prepare and found that the 4+ pounds (each) that I paid for were really more like 3 lbs because there was so much fat on top and in the middle. I just went ahead and trimmed them myself (as I had family/guests waiting to eat).
Since I used the meat, I didn't expect to be reimbursed. But I thought they would want to know. I told Howard's son who gave me a "couldn't care less" stare. Instead of apologizing and/or saying anything that showed he cared about the mistake his shop made, he turned it around, making it my fault for not calling him immediately-- making me feel like an idiot. He said accidents happen and asked me, "haven't you had an issue at some other business?" What kind of a response is that? I did feel swindled when I opened the meat and saw how much fat had been left on. But I felt angry and cheated when Howard's son basically dismissed their (costly to me) mistake. It's clear that Howard's doesn't care about its customers. Though I've never left feedback like this before, I feel compelled to let people know.
