These people are the real deal. So passionate and accommodating. I was calling to order a rib roast while in London for X-mas. It was last minute on my behalf, but the owner totally helped me through the proper weight per person, added seasoning, etc... The purchased was made across the pond. I love this place. Was a great roast and a very nice experience. Passion breeds expertise and these people are very passionate. read more

Great local butcher with a variety of meat options. The steak tips were delicious on the grill and full of flavor. For $18 a pound, it can get pricy quickly, but are worth buying to impress your guest for a special occasion. read more

Can't say enough about this great butcher shop. Every order I have made with them has been excellent. Fantastic beef competitive w steak houses. If you like lamb, they are the best choice in the area. They often need a little lead time to get it, but it's American lamb which much better what you'll find at the grocery stores. read more

I gave them two stars which was generous. Too pricie for the money, and not enough inventory.

fantastic meat done old fashion way down to earth people. old fashioned storefront norwood flats. family past down. read more

The house steak tips are out of this world! Worth the trip here alone for them - be the hero at whatever BBQ you bring them to. Won't be disappointed. Everything else is top notch as well, can't go wrong. read more

This small and rather randomly located, modest establishment is one that I found using the Yelp mobile app randomly one day, with my girlfriend, while in search of some meat for the grill. We were in the process of driving back to Westwood from downtown Boston and tried to find something located near her place. We searched in vain, on the phone, and a few places popped up, but we wanted something specialized and when this placed popped up, it seemed like a no brainer to head there. We entered the navigational information into the GPS and off we were.. We arrived near it, drove right past it once, turned around and finally found it and parked right in front. It's very discreet you see. It's small and is essentially a room filled with chest freezers. There's a lot of them and each is filled with numerous cuts of meat. All kinds of meaty goodness. From burgers to various types of marinated steak tips - to egg rolls and even sea food. There's a ton of stuff there and the quality is top notch. Other than the chest freezers, there's also a small glass counter where a few fresh, non-frozen items can be purchased. There's little else really. The service is friendly and the prices are pretty decent as well. We ended up buying some marinated steak tips and they were delicious - tender, juicy, flavorful and cut pretty evenly. I would have no problem returning to this store for more in the future although I kind of wish that they carried more supplies besides meat. How about buns? Charcoal? Why not make your store a one-stop-shop for all of people's grilling needs? It's just so limited... read more

Boston Beef - the entrance to a restaurant - Meat Shops Near Me - Norwood, Massachusetts

See all

I just called to try and place a food order. Was told they are out of certain items and not everything is available, so I tried to get some information about what is available. The guy said "I don't have time for this, when you know what you want call me back." Okay, I know we are going through some challenging times right now, but if you aren't up for the challenge then maybe you should have somebody with some customer service skills answering the phone. Making me feel like you are doing me a favor by allowing me to purchase food from you is not a smart business approach. If you can't stand the heat get out of the kitchen. Plenty of other places, folks! read more

Was in Quincy and was looking for a meat market nearby. Yelp reviews for Boston Beef are solid and gave it a try. Absolutely fantastic!! Bought frozen items for the week and got fresh tips for today. Seasoned lightly and cooked in a cast iron grill pan (outdoor grill covered from last storm). Tips came out amazing, flavor out of this world and so tender. I live in Framingham and it looks like I will need to add Norwood to my weekend errand run. read more

Best steak tips EVER! I went in for the first time and they had Hawaiian left. I was apprehensive, but they were phenomenal! They also have every kind of meat, sausages, and party foods you'll ever need! Scallops wrapped in bacon? YES! Stuffed quahogs? YES! Stuffed mushrooms? YES! And they are so nice and friendly. This is my new go to place for meats. read more

Every year without fail I preorder the gray corned beef that they corn themselves and it is by far the best corned beef you will ever have! If that's not your bag then you can't go wrong with the marinated steak tips and chicken the frozen scallops wrapped in bacon, the cuts of beef that they have and what they don't you can order. If you live in Norwood and your not going to Bostoin Beef, you're missing out! read more

Excellent butcher shop. Great selection and price, plus they will vacuum seal anything you purchase. I heard they used to supple the steak tips for Conrad's. Bought both and Boston Beef's are superior. I like the Hawaiian flavor. This is the place to go for a special order at the holidays!!! read more

Everyone is always saying how great the steak tips are at Corads Restaurant..well you can have these steak tips at home...Boston Beef is the supplier of beef to Conrads Restaurant... Last weekend a couple of friends and I had a BBQ and got a 5lb bag of steak tips from Boston Beef. It was around $40 but it fed 5 people 2 separate meals...they were seriously the best steak tips i've ever had from home...i just looked at the website and there are many more choices of BBQ foods available...i want to try everything!! read more

Seriously. To DIE FOR. WONDERFUL. Also have gotten other meat for events. This place is much better than the grocery butcher. I highly recommend it. Now, if only there was a fabulous fish monger... wouldn't that be something? read more

Ohhhhhh MY (insert your choice of expletive) gawwwwwwwwd! Don't let the big white freezers fool you. Sure this place isn't even located in Boston. My favorite thing on the menu isn't even beef. The appetizer I'm obsessed with is something I've never even heard of before - although something I SHOULD have invented. So get this - it's an egg roll filled with the creamiest elbow mac n cheese you've ever tasted. So you know that island question that everyone likes to ask as if an ice breaker on a first date ... this would be my answer (and someone is standing here wondering why I am even bothering writing about an establishment that is filled with freezers located in a somewhat obscure location of MA... and why I am even thinking about a first date questions... just to eff with him because he is standing over my shoulder!) Who knew a bit of fusion existed a bit outside of Boston?! I thought my imagination was vivid... guess not as vivid as Boston Beef when it comes to dreaming up food creations. My mind has been blown and my tastebuds thank you. Now all that is missing here are some bottles of Sriracha for sale...;) And with a name like this... the beef is outstanding, no doubt. Oh steak tips... get in my belly... STAT. read more

I remember coming in here to get the "Square burgers" as a kid. a nice, older gentleman used to cut the meat here. I think he was the owner. A WWII vet. He had a trophy SS helmet laying out as a conversation piece. I drop by now and then for their same squares that are absolutely great on the grill. I would definitely recommend Boston Beef for everything that is meat. They are still great even after all these years. I love Boston Beef!!! read more

Best finest restaurant quality meats! TOP quality easy to heat frozen appetizers, all sorts of raviolis, the chicken cordon bleu bites are a must! Butcher/0wner clearly cares about delivering great food for his customers - here quality reigns supreme. This place is a gem! read more

Visited today with my son, as we will try any new place in the area, sincerely overrated, it's OK..........for the price, rather go to a good restaurant. read more

This place is a small, family run business and I believe both husband and wife are always there- he is the butcher and she handles customers - both are really friendly and always helpful. Their Filet Mignon was outstanding, and their cuts of meat are top notch. These guys sell outstanding marinated steak and chicken tips! Really good stuff. These guys are set up like the old school butchers - not many of them around anymore, so we support these guys as much as we can. All in all really good product and fair pricing and good value. In my opinion people should support small businesses like this as much as humanly possible (more) as if we don't, will be soon having to go to Big box stores! Great place great premise frozen apps too. My only complaint is that once I bought a bag of the frozen crab rangoon and respectfully, it smelled fishy, which is never a good sign, but they were iffy, but FYI he was amazed as he said they were a big seller and extremely popular. FYI every other preprepared app has been top shelf. read more

We were Looking for a high quality butcher in and around central Massachusetts after the one we were going too closed. the meats at the grocery stores are just O.K. but when you want high quality meats you need a butcher were that's all they do and have meats you usually can't find at a grocery store. Boston Beef has the best and oh so tender, house flavored steak tips, I purchased a 4 bone prime rib roast for christmas this year for something different other than the usual ham. From now on this will be our christmas dinner and special occasions only because to be honest this great tasting prime rib was very expensive. My wife and I go to a very highly rated restaurant were they are known for the best prime rib around in all of Massachusetts. I slow roasted this prime rib roast at 250 degrees and pulled it out of the oven when the internal temp of the roast was reading 128 degrees on my digital thermometer which i highly recommend when cooking expensive meats and do not go by guesstamated times that mostly you will find your meats over or under cooked. This prime rib roast that i slow roasted was way better than the restaurants read more

Seriously great meat. We live in Norwood and tried for the first time recently. The sirloin strips were the best we have ever had. Also tried the kickin chicken, crazy good. Prices are on the high end, but if you want the best meat this is the place to go. read more

This place rocks. It's hard to find a real butcher these days, but the folks here totally fit the bill. Although I can't say enough about the quality of the meats, I am mostly impressed by the knowledge of the staff. I made a standing rib roast last Christmas under the guidance of one of the butchers. It was PHENOMENAL - and my guests were truly impressed. Boston Beef will NEVER disappoint! read more

I've yet to find a person who doesn't think that the Garlic and Provolone sausages are the best they have ever had! Everything there is great quality and the service friendly. A neighborhood gem. read more

Went in here on a whim from work after talking about steaks all day with coworkers. Very happy I did I will deffinetly frequent this establishment! Being my first time in I needed to look at the menus and see what they offered and while looking two employees had offered to help and see what I was looking for, I got marinated steak tips and a big new york strip for a great price. I cooked the steak tips up as soon as I got home and they were awesome. I havent made the New York strip yet but I'm already sure it will be amazing!! I will highly recommend boston beef to people because just after one experience I can tell there awesome! read more

Excellent place for all meats. Marinated chicken and steak tips are great. Before heading to the Cape I always stop here to stock up and have never been disappointed. read more

Got a 12 pound prime rib seasoned for Christmas I can't wait to order for next Christmas. The meat was fantastic. Their help on cooking was awesome. Best place to buy fresh quality products. read more

Went here after a colleague of mine recommended it. Fantastic place for meat. Got the marinated steak tips and cheese and garlic sausages. All were fantastic. Prices are very comparable to what you would pay in the supermarket but the quality is much better here. Definitely plan on several return trips once the rains cease and spring decides to start. read more

great quality meat and reasonable prices. My husband will only buy meat at boston beef. He loves the quality and feels that the staff is very knowledgeable about the cuts of meat. If you ask him, he will tell you that Boston Beef in combination with his cooking converted me from being a vegetarian... although i dont know how true that is. read more

OK- listen up-when Mike suggests a cut of meat, pay attention! On my last visit he suggested the "Butcher's Cut" Now, this is not the most expensive cut he has but, just like he said, it is really tender and has great flavor. He will tell you exactly how to grill it, do that and you will be amazed. Thanks Mike read more

Mike at Boston Beef is one of the best butchers I have ever known. He cuts your selection of meat excactly how you like it and he will make recommendations on how to cook it! He also sells the best sausage I have ever eaten ............ EVER!! Everything is fresh and the ground beef is 90% lean and ground right there! If you love meat, you will love Boston Beef Art G. read more

Can I give BB 6 stars? 7 maybe? How about 10?! Grew up in Norwood with my dad bringing me in ever month. The quality was always great, but ever since it changed hands in the late 80's BB has been the best kept secret in Norfolk County. We still travel from Attleboro just to get their burgers, which are the best around, their prime rib, shoulder cuts, beef ribs, etc. which are cut to perfection and whatever chicken they have available. It's veg fed/hormone free and priced competitively against local supermarkets but the quality is far superior. Marinated Hawaiian chicken is so bloody good on the grill and boneless or bone in chicken/chicken cutlets/chicken stir fry options are fantastic. They have freezers where you grab what you need, or get things fresh if that is desired. Their garlic and provolone sausage will make you the hero at any tailgate party as will their marinated steak tips. I CAN NOT overstate how good this place is. You will most definitely feel cheated that you have been getting the bland steak tip offering that supermarkets typically sell, that's for sure. They also have a freezer full of fish products, which we haven't tried and various appies which are a hit everytime we serve them. Also can cut pre breaded chicken cutlets, french fries and onion rings. So much great food packed into such a tiny place. Living in Attleboro, the only drawback is that it's not closer, but if you're close in proximity and have never frequented BB, you seriously don't know what you are missing. read more

First I love steak but it has to be thick so I can cook it Pittsburgh style. That is char on the outside but pink to red inside. When I go in there they pull out a NY strip and ask me how thick do I want it? One time I got a 3 pounder 2 inch thick T bone. I have never gotten a bad piece of beef there and always go there. read more

Always great service. Went recently for the marinated steak tips. None left. Was encouraged to get the Hawaiian tips. Was unsure. We'll got them and let me say they were delicious. As good as the marinated. Pineapple juice was not overpowering at all; in fact difficult to detect. Really render. Will get again. read more

Where do I start. Everything at Boston Beef is fantastic and better than what's available anywhere else. The hamburg patties are the berst. The marinated chicken is the best. The sirloin tips are the best. The parmesan and garlic sausage are the best. Boston Beef can't be beat. Used to go here with my Dad in the mid to late 60's when Tony was running it and it was good then, but now it's even better. Owner knows what's important, providing quality and keeping customers happy. The boneless chciken is all organic, the cutlets have barely a hint of fat on them and the price, especially for organically grown chicken, is about half of what one would pay at Whole Foods. Wish there was something similar here in Attleboro, but we make the every other week trip because Boston Beef is simply the best butcher shop to be found anywhere. read more

Well all I have to say is that the turkey purchased last year from Boston Beef received rave reviews from my family......from memory, came from an organic farm in Connecticut. More expensive than fresh from Roche Brothers but far, far superior in flavour, texture, etc. BB not open on Tuesday but will be phoning tomorrow to order again. Great store for steak, lamb etc. Really like supporting local business. read more

I live in Norwood and this is one of our shining stars. The marinated steak tips are to die for, the sirloin strip steaks are melt in your mouth and the prime rib roasts ooze flavor. BUT my family's new favorite is the Butchers Sirloin. OMG, if you like to grill, this is for you!!! My boys go nuts when we cook this and fight over the leftovers. All you need is a grill and some basic seasoning. read more
