Edit 05JUL2025 approx 1 pm I walked into the new location and turned around and walked out. The line up to pay was insane only open person working but yet there was two terminals. I would estimate there were 3-4 dozen people in line the entire length of the store and then snaking along the back wall. Then the GF cafe seating area reassembled a Costco food court, not a seat to be found. The line to the GF Cafe/Deli counter also had about 2 dozen people waiting. Totally blocking the isle of GF products on the shelves. read more

They have moved. The new address is 10516 184 str. The old place was nothing like the new location. First impression.. unlike the old location,there's plenty of parking .. and the neighboring businesses are closed on Saturdays so there's even more available. Second impression.. when you walk in , unlike the old place , it doesn't have that butcher smell .. though I love that smell. It's a lot roomier and everything is spaced out to walk by . They have a good variety in the freezers and even some BBQs for sale . The butcher counter has a lot to offer and everything on display looked great . They even have a dry aging cabinet so you can see the aging process. They also have a coffee bar and a few tables to enjoy some coffee and a snack . Everything was reasonably priced . And the store looks so much better . It's a new look but the products and service remains the same . read more

Don't eat Donair and poutine. It's the worst I ever had. I still have tummy pain. It's just soggy and the meat is some old sausage.

Owner went out of his way to accommodate our food requests and questions. Mom & Pop style-Family owned for generations. They smoke & bbq meats and doughnuts on the weekends Delicious meats Now our go- to butcher in Edmonton read more

We come here often because they have a great selection of gluten free fresh, frozen, and boxed foods and treats. The have some great gluten free frozen items. I especially recommend the pizzas and chicken fingers, which we buy often. They have a small butcher section with fresh meat, a kitchen for fresh hot fast food, cooler and freezers sections plus a few aisles of package food and treats. They even have some bones for your pooch. The store is small and tight but they use the space well and have great selection. If you are Celiac you should check this place out! Lots of good food for you to discover. read more

Not a huge meat eater but all the items I have purchased in the past from this clean and business wise company has been very good. Strongly recommend this company to all who shop here. Quick to fill your order and always the most juicy cuts of meat. read more

If you want good quality meats. Look no further than Ben's meats. Superb quality elk bison and sirloin steaks. Excellent service. Well organized family business served with a smile as always. A wall of cheeses. The stock boy even helped me purchase beef soup bones. Brava Ben's I will return soon. FYI specials everyday whoop whoop read more

So I've been a customer of this fabulous shop for years... HOW has a review escaped me?! There is no way you won't find something here that is amazing and delicious! Are you celiac, gluten free or just loving that smell of an amazing deli? Come here. Frozen gluten-free pizzas are FANTASTIC! Made on amazing Care Bakery (Calgary) crusts are loaded with toppings and can't be beaten! The meat lover pizza is our favourite but try the BBQ chicken! Woohoo! Sweet, spicy, meaty! Hot food to go? Gluten free spring rolls, chicken strips, nuggets... fries! Done in an air fryer that is super HOT! Special gluten-free mini Donut Saturdays! Bucket please! Cheese? Why yes please!

Rainbow of selection! So many great things about this local gem of a shop. Covid protocols are followed, masks required. POS equipment cleaned frequently. The only challenge shopping here is parking. You might have to walk a little bit, but it's worth it. read more

Wow! I just found one of my most favourite places in Edmonton. As soon as I walked in, I felt I was in Amsterdam! It brought back all the good memories. I checked the aisles and there were so many awesome products that you can't find in a normal grocery store and they are popular in Europe! Dangerously delicious and perhaps poisonous for calorie counters! But here I am, back with a bunch of those things, enjoying every bite and say f@&$ the diet!!! Lol The best butcher in the city that I know and they are very kind and helpful. The guy who was helping us took his time to explain some stuff and did a bunch of extra things to make our experience amazing. You feel the warmth of a family and home which you can hardly find these days! I will definitely go back there and I love this place! read more

Small stores, lovingly run to share a particular culinary point of view, are my way to happiness. I collect them, like trading cards, often filling in my gap time with visits in order to get inspiration for my next cookery. Ben's had me from the Stroopwafels, which I loved fresh in Amsterdam, and kept me with all the Dutch items, including more foodstuffs and even fan team scarves and shirts. (I grew up in Soestdijk and Ben's brings back memories of both the foods and the way of shopping that's so different than the once-weekly big box shopping that's typical today.) The deli counter is a big win, from traditional Italian salumi to smoked horse (tasty, salty!) to gouda to sub sandwiches (which, yes, at one time I called "grinders" and "hoagies"). Ben's: go there, enjoy the foodie love, take home some of the joy. read more

Popped into Ben's the other day to kill some time while we were getting a Thule Roof cargo carrier installed just down the block at Racks For Cars. First of all, why on earth did I not visit here before?!? I used to work just down the block from here 1 day a week. Even back then, office peeps would frequently go to Ben's for a quick sandwich to-go! The small store is filled with all kinds of Dutch goodies and treats ranging from wooden shoes to the largest bulk display of black licorice I've ever seen (try salty)! Even check out their website to get the run down on the treats! http://www.bensmeats.com/dutch-candy-shop/ The butcher shop is awesome and you can even watch them do their magic while you are in shop! They offer all kinds of deals/options for freezer packs of meat! Special Orders? You bet, Ben's Meat has you covered here, too! They offer hot items made to order such as Croquettes (GO TRY ONE NOW), gluten free chicken & fries, and various sandwiches/subs! Don't forget custom orders for holidays such as their Gluten Free Pumpkin Pies! Be sure to take a jaunt around the whole store to get a feel for what they offer as well as taking in their generational picture wall back by the coffee and bistro table section (you might even find a shot of Dave with Gordon Ramsey). Owened and operated by the same family in Edmonton, since 1953 - not something you find everyday! And above all, remember they are closed on Sundays so you best be getting there no later than Saturday for your Sunday BBQ needs! read more

If you are looking for gluten free food look no further. They have freezers full of frozen baked goods (many that are dairy free as well) gluten free meats, pasta and more. They also have sauces, cheeses, and fresh gluten free food at the front. Some of my favourites are their gf spring rolls, chicken strips and fries, wontons - all made separately to avoid cross contamination. If you're having a doughnut craving I love their frozen selection. They also have fresh gluten free mini doughnuts on Saturdays (those aren't dairy free) read more

I wish I was thinking when we visited, a wonderful butcher shop. The store is very diverse, it is a Dutch Canadian butcher shop that carries many different things. There are frozen products, fresh products, canned goods and an amazing selection of licorice if that's your thing. The fresh meat counters have outstanding quality meats and sausages...not to mention the staff are absolutely amazing people. Every staff member was super attentive and wanting to help at every opportunity. Needless to say this is a place that we will visit again. read more

.Lovely little shop where you can get all sorts of European treats, meats and sausage! They recently celebrated their 65th anniversary and it's no surprise they have so much staying power. We asked how the various gingerbread products compared and we were treated to samples of practically all their stock (and bought a whole bunch home lol). Imported items include various types of gouda, sauces and several aisles devoted to gluten free products. They make and smoke some of their sausages and the rest is locally made. They even have little packages of herring (same ones you can get at heritage days served with raw onion!). Knowledgeable and friendly, we left with a bunch of sausages, frozen krokets, some meat pastries, lots of gingerbread and smiles on our faces. I need to clean out my deep freeze before I head back to stock up on their yummy looking steaks! read more

This is our go to butcher shop. They have excellent customer service. We recently ordered a fresh turkey. That was the best turkey we have ever had, I don't think we can will ever purchase a frozen one again. The quality of their products out shines the normal grocery store selections. There is also a wonderful selection of cheese too that is a must see. And don't forget to get a bone or a pigs ear for the dog while you are there! read more

Best corned beef I have ever had! This place is a gem. Unique, quality cuts of meat. This is my go to butcher when I am in Edmonton and can not find specific cuts I am looking for at the grocery store. read more

Fresh meats and Dutch treats. I like going for the treats more than the meats. Choosing which meat is not my department. However, they have delicious meats. I very much enjoy their ground beef and pork mix. Super lean without it being dry. It has become a staple in our household. The new york steaks are great too! They have a wide variety of meats, some are marinated for you. The staff is always friendly and helpful. Especially if you are a first timer at a butcher shop and not sure where to start. The parking lot is a little difficult, but we park across the street and there is a pedestrian controlled red light crossing 20 steps away. Definitely worth it! read more

Only been here twice. I really like it. I usually only get the garlic ham sausage because I ... well ... really like it! Lean and flavorful. However if you want other things. They have it. Meats galore. Wild game. Other deli items...such as candy. Pickles. Etc etc. prices are average to high. Selection is good. Freshness is good. Sandwiches and other items are available. read more

Impressive! This place reminds me of K&K Foodliner, but a little smaller and a little less chaotic. I walked in to the smells of curing meats and to see three meatcutters and a cashier doting on customers. The fresh counters were full of fresh and cryovac meats as well as value added cuts. The aisles were full of predominately Dutch and other European items, everything from candy to dinnerware. It was fun to look at. This is yet another store I should frequent more often, as it looks like their prices are decent as well, especially for custom cut and specialty meat. Too bad about the parking. There isn't any to speak of. read more

Wonderful family run business with always friendly and knowledgeable staff! This is the place to go if you want authentic Dutch treats (I'm not Dutch BTW, but I love many of their offerings) and in-house prepared meat products and great quality fresh meats. The butcher will take time to answer your questions about what cuts to use and how to prepare them for your new recipe and treat you like a valued customer regardless of how busy he is. Worth the trip across the city and a bonus if you live in the west end. read more

Amazing first experience here. I stopped in on my way home as I could see a few people eating at the picnic tables outside.... I'm so glad I did. This spontaneous stop brought me to an amazing discovery. I was browsing the fresh meat section and checking out the deli when I overheard the owner Dave serving a couple gents in front of me. When I heard him say " I just pulled a brisket out of the smoker... Do you want that?" To them I knew I had to have some. Great experience here.... and I feel like I've found something that has been whispered about in secret conversations for decades in Edmonton. Glad I got to learn the secret handshake. I'll be back for sure read more

Ben's Meat - Brisket sandwich - Butcher Near Me - Edmonton, Alberta

An excellent deli on the west end. The assortment of deli meats, cheeses, frozen options is fantastic! They have fresh turkeys that you need to order in advance for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Great steaks and roasts as well. Friendly and efficient service. read more

Arrived 14 mins before closing, travelled from the south side of Edmonton and they refused to slice meat for me because they cleaned there machines for the night. Why advertise closing time if you close early by making it impossible to make a purchase. Not impressed. read more

I love this place, I just pick up the phone place my order & the staff has it ready & waiting for me to pick up. I love the turkeys from here fresh never frozen and reasonably priced. This is the best butcher shop in town as far as i'm concerned. read more

Ben's, you made this California girls day by having a tri-tip cut ready to be wrapped up upon my arrival. Two years in Edmonton and I haven't been able to select a cut outside the Canadian norm until I stopped in. The shop offers a wide variety of Dutch goods which was unique to the West End. The ventilation seemed a tad lacking as the smell was overwhelming from smoked meat, hoping this improves when they can open the door in the summer. All in all we were stoked with the quality of the meat and fun pop/candy options. read more

Looking for some fabulous steaks, great chicken,marinated pork or beef jerky? This is the spot. One of the best meat markets that I have seen in either Edmonton or Calgary. When Gordon Ramsay was in town last year this was where he sourced his venison. There are all kinds of Dutch treats throughout the store. It is a third generation family run store and they care about their clients and their product. Worth the visit! P.s. They have smoked bones for dogs....mine think they are the best thing ever. read more

This is the best butcher shop in Edmonton in my opinion!! Love, love, love their steaks and their smokies and their garlic butter and....... everything that they sell! The staff are super friendly and always willing to help with any questions and make recommendations that never fail to disappoint. They also sell really good dog bones so the whole family is happy read more

Great selection. Asked for low/no sodium meats, and we were taken care of for a full 20 minutes by the owner, who didn't rush us. He showed us which deli meats to look at, and he vacuumed packed a few different days worth( individually ) so they"ll keep for a while. Talk about going above and beyond! We also bought sausages, ground beef, raw turkey breast, and smoked bones for the dog. At the end, he thanked us for our business. All staff was smiling and friendly. It's nice, as a customer, to feel appreciated. We'll definitely be doing the 45 minute drive (one way) to shop there again. read more

Yum, this store brought many childhood memories back. I finally made a visit and now am wondering why it took me so long. You can find any import food items, the amount of Dutch imports is amazing. I was able to add more pieces to my Blue Delft dish collection. Very friendly service at the deli and till. Will definitely be returning again. Note: I followed the advice and parked across the road, because no parking was available by the store. read more

This is a great family run butcher & deli. Great products & great people. Highly recommend it

Meats and treats galore! My family has been shopping here since before I was born. Best meat shop in Edmonton hands down! Try the croquettes, they're the best! read more

This is the business that made me join YELP! These people are amazing. I like to go to the shop just to hang out. Their enthusiasm is amazing and their knowledge can't be beat. Help support a family run business that cares about what you put in your mouth. Shop Ben's Meats. And no, I am not related to this business in any way, I just feel passionate about good food. read more

New to Edmonton and so happy to have already be a regular at this fine establishment. Great service fellas. Keep it up and I'll be back again and again. read more

We visited Ben's for the first time the other day. The Montreal smoked meat and smoked turkey were delicious, and on the way out we saw a sign for an upcoming special on New York steaks. We came back in to place an order, and were highly surprised and delighted when we were told that we could actually have the steaks right then. We cooked the steaks tonight, and were easily some of the best cut we have ever had. Thanks a lot to Ben's, and we will be back very soon. read more

This place has been here for so long, and for good reason. They have recently expanded to offer a huge variety of Dutch import items as well as a large fresh deli counter. Great prices on import stuff! i haven't gotten too much deli product, I mostly go here for my husband as he has dutch food 'needs'. what I have purchased though was all fabulous. Highly recommend, especially at Christmas time! read more

Well, I wish I had known about this gem a while ago. There's so much in here, and I would recommend it just for browsing around for Dutch treats alone. I get Raw Dog Food (which iI actually feed my cats) from here, which is cheaper than buying the expensive vet diet I used to buy, and way healthier. read more
