The Best Butcher Shop In Every State

A butcher shop can be a food lover's dream, with fresh cuts of beef sparking BBQ recipe ideas and perfectly sliced bacon prompting weekend breakfast desires. But while a butcher shop can be a playground of food choices, the prices often cause a much-needed pause before one can carefully select just the right cut. There are many ways to save money at the butcher shop, but finding the best one in your state is a good place to start.

While there are things you should avoid saying to your butcher, they really do welcome all questions. So don't be afraid to talk to the people handling the meat, especially if you're looking for ways to make a BBQ platter or are unsure how to cook a certain piece of meat. The following butcher shops have won national or local awards and contests for best meat products, beating out competitors and wowing residents and tourists.

Earning the Quality Business Award for 2026, which puts it among the top 1% of American businesses, The Son of a Butcher is run by — as the company name implies — sons of a butcher (appropriately named Butch). This butcher shop puts a premium on knowing the cattle ranchers, fishermen, and cheesemongers who provide the goods, and is praised for its freshly sourced, high-quality food, giving it a strong local reputation.

Some places have award-winning chefs and butchers, while others received glowing recommendations from customers or local publications. Some states had multiple butcher shops vying for the top spot, so I used online customer reviews to break the tie.
