I feel so fortunate for the St. Paul Meat Shop. Earlier this week my boyfriend and I were celebrating our anniversary and had a last minute series of cooking nightmares at home--and Kelly, one of the many lovely employees literally came to our rescue and made the exchange we had so warm, genuine, and memorable. The energy of this shop is truly something that is so rare to find in our modern day. We have gotten to know Nick and Lydia who work there as well, and have always felt so enthusiastically welcomed when stopping by for a quick sandwich, to just grab some stock, or peruse their selection of meats when we plan on hosting. I can't say how much I appreciate this team and of course the farms they are working with, and stories of real people raising real animals and bringing them to the community. I will be a life long Meat Shop shopper.

We've visited the St Paul Meat Shop on a few other occasions. Not only have we enjoyed each item we have tried, we have been able to find some items or cuts that other butcher shops don't have available. St Paul Meat Shop markets themselves as St Paul's only whole animal butcher shop. One of our favorite items is the pastrami. Their pastrami is amazing! Made and smoked in house. It is sliced thin and makes a great sandwich. They also have turkey which I believe is cooked sous vide. Our last visit we picked up some skirt steak and their juicy lucy burgers. As we were checking out, there was one condiment that we forgot and it didn't appear that they had that. The very nice gentleman was able to locate some for us and helped us out. Quality and service has always been top notch.

First visit to St Paul Meat Shop. I had been imagining a wonderful hot ham and cheese sandwich for a couple of days. Did my YELP research and landed in this wonderful establishment. The staff is very welcoming and knowledgeable. The ambiance is a nice meat shop, sandwich shop local market feel combo. The sandwiches are freshly made and worth the wait. We enjoyed our sandwiches on site and ordered some salads for take out. They have a nice variety of items to go soup, lasagna, meat sauce, beverages, breads, desserts just to name a few. Looking forward to the next visit!

Super helpful staff in a relaxed environment. Great selection of local products - meat and otherwise. I gave Nick a budget and he helped me curate a steak night that was fantastic. Best bacon I've ever tried, hands down. I baked it in the oven, but don't think there's a bad method out there. Looked like it had too much fat, but it turned out to be pure magic.

I came in here for a couple of hot dogs. More on that in a minute...This is a small neighborhood butcher shop. Whatever it is you might want out of a small neighborhood butcher shop, my one visit here leaves me confident that they will provide it to you with the utmost care and expertise. It's clear that they have all the typical cuts of meat you'd want from a butcher, and that they also take pride in their specialized, artisanal offerings. Everything in their cases and on their shelves, things like "hand rolled butter" and "duck prosciutto", appears to be homemade or locally made. Everything looked totally great.They have an appealing selection of deli sandwiches, salads, and a few other things which you can eat at one of their small dining areas. Which brings me to the reason for this visit. A friend let me know that after 2pm, every day, they offer $2 hot dogs. But these are not cheap, foil-wrapped ballpark weiners from a clammy steel steambox. These are the best hot dogs I've ever had. They were made to order, presented with tangy, coarse mustard on lightly toasted buns. Delicious mustard, phenomenal hot dog meat. (Kraut is included as well, except I didn't want kraut.) Nothing else offered by St Paul Meat Shop can be characterized as inexpensive, but they make up for that by offering the best hot dogs you'll ever have for two bucks each after 2pm. So go get some hot dogs, and while you're there, have any of your other carnivorous needs met with an admirably high level of quality.

I don't eat meat often, so when I do I like to make sure it's good meat. As much as possible, I'd like it sustainably and ethically raised, carefully processed to be disease-free, etc. Today I headed there for fresh ideas on dinner. The clerk was friendly and ready with information on how long it takes any given item to defrost; or the best uses for the unfamiliar onion variety I picked up. She also let me browse when I needed to just take stuff in. There was a large array of items ranging from frozen broth to raw meat cuts to ready-to-eat pasties. I picked up some uncooked lamb burgers seasoned with spices, cheese, and mint. (It so happened that all lamb was 15% off, too!) If you're like me and don't like to run to multiple stores, there are also items like pasta, potatoes, onions, and premade side dishes to help you complete your meal. Not to mention frozen cookie dough and ready-baked desserts. As soon as I took the burgers out of the package I knew I was in for a treat. I could smell those spices as I placed the meat in the hot pan, cooking it slowly with care. Dynamite! Better than take-and-bake pizza. The spices and herbs were perfect, as good as what you might find at a Middle Eastern restaurant. Served with rice, yogurt, and fresh lettuce, this $14 two-pack of lamb burgers can easily last me four nutritious balanced meals. Fantastic service by people who care about what they're selling. Delicious food options. And ethically sourced. Some may say they'd rather eat cheaper food. But after reading recent bestsellers on the meat industry, and after some unfortunate experiences with supermarket meats, I'd say it's well worth the extra pennies.

Everything about this meat shop is amazing. First, they butcher all their meats themselves, which makes them fresh and delicious. You can trust that, since they're preparing their own meats, there is nothing added. The ground turkey is outstanding, making the best burgers I've ever had-so juicy and tasty. The same can be said for their chicken breasts and the spinach ricotta turkey burgers. Often they have homemade burger buns and fresh cookies. The deli sandwiches are so good as well. The service reminds me of growing up with real butchers who are respectful yet fun, and who know all there is to know about their products! I feel so good about everything I buy there. Oh! Don't forget to pick up one of their homemade soups!
