Clines Meat Market offers such a unique and memorable experience. We attended one of their meat classes with friends, and it was incredibly educational from start to finish. The team really knows their craft and explains everything in a way that's fun, approachable, and easy to follow. We tasted some amazing cuts of meat throughout the class, paired with great wine and even better conversation. The quality was truly 10/10 -- you can taste the difference immediately. They also offered a discount on any meat purchased that night, which was a great bonus. Overall, it was a fantastic evening and absolutely worth it. Clines delivers both quality and expertise, and the class is something I'd recommend to anyone who loves good food and wants to learn more about it. read more

We came here for a meat class that is constantly booked out. What a great experience though. He was so knowledgeable about the different cuts of meats. He even provided samples of the meats. He also had seasoning that is worth buying! Come for your custom meats. They also have sides to buy. Also knives and cast irons, and pastas. They sell beef tallow in containers too! read more

This place has some fun specialty items. It's a bit on the pricey side but worth the splurge every now and then read more

Cline's is a family owned butcher and has a very good selection of high-quality meats . They focus and specialize on beef and can even customize your cut/order to your needs. They also have some seafood and poultry products as well as a selection of wines, sides, and grocery items. Their knowledgeable staff are very friendly and eager to assist you in making the best selections for your needs. We've gotten steaks, had them slice brisket for us for our homemade jerky, and used their ground steak for steak burgers. They also have beef bones which are so difficult to find in JAX--I use these for my pho broth! They even make bone broth for dogs which our pups love! Cline's also hold a Butcher's Table dinner where they showcase their products which we definitely want to experience in the future! Whatever the occasion, support your local butcher and shop at Cline's! read more

The quality of meat is unmatched! And their sides are killer, too! We got the twice baked potatoes and they were delicious! As a California girl, I'm really grateful for a local place to get tri-tip! read more

Good meat and service. A lot to pick from. Rubs, pots, pans, wine, grill gear & even cheese. A lot of big ticket items if you're feeding 10 or more as well. Quite the shop. Be advised you get what you pay for $$$. read more

Yes the butcher shop is amazing and they have the best meat in town. But let me tell you how amazing the private dining experience is at Cline's. We went last night and were just blown away by the quality of food, attention to detail, the service, the wine and the Owners. In our private room we were treated to an experience that you can't find in Jax. From the Tuna Tartar to the Sea Scallops to the Porterhouse Steak (which I forgot to take a picture of because I had to eat it), everything was great. Thank you so much for an amazing meal and time. Well Done! read more

I came to this butcher shop looking to pick up a few items for my dogs. I was pleasantly surprised when I saw a little section specifically for dog friendly meat blends, bone broth and more. I picked up the bone broth and raw beef liver. The prices were not too bad, although I am unsure what the average price would be for the items I bought. The staff was very helpful too when I asked a few questions about their selection. The store not only has meats but also deli options like pre-made pastas. They also sell other items such as crackers, spreads, and more. I really like the open feel and set up of this shop. It is very clean and offers so much more than an average butcher shop. I will be back and will tell my friends about it. read more

Great customer service, a lot of meat to choose from, homemade sides, and canned options. Picked up some dry aged steaks and broccoli salad and was very pleased with our choices. Can't wait to come back and try the wagyu options. read more

Grilled this 2.5lb, 3-inch thick beast of a cowboy cut ribeye from Cline's Custom Meats for dinner tonight. Cline's is a great local and family run butcher shop. Developing a great relationship with your butcher can turn an average grill session into one your neighbors will talk about for years. First I cooked it sous-vide at 135* for 6 hours for a perfect medium temp and then did a post-cook sear over my charcoal chimney starter at probably about 800*. It came out beautiful and tender. It melted like butter on my mouth! read more

This place was recommended to me by a friend after I tried the salads she provided at a luncheon. I immediately went to Cline's and got their chicken salad, shrimp salad, beet salad, potato salad, and mac and cheese. Of course, I got some of their meat selections as well; which are the best quality. Many reviews are posted about their fabulous meats; so I wanted to share they also have some fantastic sides and pre prepared meal selections as well. The staff are kind, knowledgeable and a huge help. read more

Great place to go to. Miss the butchers in the super market. This place quality of course is superb will revisit when in area again. Also my family who i took randomly will go there from from now on read more

This place is a great find. He had everything - his cowboy ribeye steaks looked beautiful and were decently priced. He had fresh duck breasts and lamb chops - a rare find in Jax. He had delicious-looking slabs of fois gras in between the tubs of duck fat. I joked with him that I didn't see rabbit - so he showed me where the rabbit was. Checkmate. One thing I had never seen before was that he butchered ribeyes into filet mignon-style cuts - taking off the edge bits and ribbons of fat and leaving medallions of marbled gloriousness. The side effect is that he turns the outer edge of the ribeye into something called the Spinalis Ribeye - a cut of beef resembling a flank steak, but containing the gorgeous marbling and tenderness of a ribeye. I love seeing cuts I have never seen before. I'm waiting to grill the Spinalis as I sit here. Next time I'll try the filets. read more

If you want the most Prime of selection, service, and carnivore treats then you must check out Clines. Their San Marco location has various meats and goods for at home wanna be chefs like myself that I'm convinced even burnt food would be mouthwater-its just so premium. The staff offers help in cooking options if you're unfamiliar with the cut or process and they went out of their way to package in portions for my small family. read more

Always the best. Local or not, they can do everything in their power to give you the best. Every time I cook a steak, I say to myself, dang, that's the best steak I've had. Local farm Vause is special stuff. read more

My favorite place to buy steaks! Always super helpful with explaining their decently sized selection. Since the first day I came in this place I haven't been anywhere else to buy a steak, if it could be helped. The store is always spotless and everything neat. An employee by the name of Ashton helped me today (sorry if it's misspelled) with picking out steaks. He was super friendly and informative. Also let me know about your promotion on Wednesday so that means I'll literally be back in two days. Thanks for the kindness and help Ashton. Dude needs a raise for sure. read more

Went to Clines yesterday to get some meat for a gathering. The service was amazing and the Tomahawk steak was absolutely delicious. The young lady and gentleman that were working were very nice with great personalities. They didn't even laugh at me when I accidentally tried to pay with my drivers license. Lol read more

They moved into their new building and it is great. Selection of meat and seafood is amazing. The steaks are exceptional and the lobster tail was an extremely great portion. read more

If you're a steak lover like me, this shop will not disappoint. Best wagyu selection. My wife and I found this gem 3 years ago and we refuse to buy steaks anywhere else. You have to try the wagyu steaks and burgers. read more

Delicious meat. Staff answered all my questions on how to prepare it. Got my Wagyu steak home and had the best dinner ever. Thank you so much!!! read more

Small market shopping gives life to everyday eating and Cline's Custom Meat does just that. It has ample parking and is located across from Good Dough, one block from the San Marco Library. Perfect for a scheduled or impromptu visit. The shop may be small but everything in it is selected with care... Two main cases with everything from house made lamb sausage to roasts. Selections will vary. One uncharacteristically thrilling frozen case, featuring the highest quality seafood, quail, ground bison. My mind was racing with stay in dinner date options. One refrigerator with cheese, olives, smoked salmon etc. I am very into cheese and his selection included 2 of my favorites. The owner opened a jar of cow goat blend feta, I believe he said, it was smooth and is a definite crowd pleaser. One rack of French Pantry bread, yes you read that correctly, and local produce. As well as Cross Creek honey, select spices, and nuts. One stop shopping. Truly a pleasure. My dad and I were so caught up talking to the owners we shamefully didn't formally introduce ourselves to him and his wife, who were there working. I say this because they have hand chosen the San Marco community for their {business} home. They are real people helping bring love through food. Go by, and do what I didn't, introduce yourself! read more

My last review was over 4 years ago & if I could add 5 more stars for a total of 10 I would. Joe Cline is the ultimate in having unique high end beef, outstanding chicken, lamb, and seafood. Their side dishes are outstanding, their twice baked potato, tremendous. The service-not a better crew in Jacksonville if not Florida. This is a unique meat store that is truly appreciated by peeps who want really good meat. Cut if you like in specific cuts not found at any other butcher in Northern Florida read more

Great place for special occasion meats! We enjoyed an aged prime rib and it was amazing! Very tender and extremely flavorful. Our pups thought the bone was pretty dang good too. read more

Hands down the best butcher shop in Jacksonville! Joe and his wife aren't here for just business, they strive to make sure you get the best service and quality. It's always a tough decision every time I stop in! read more

Clines Custom Meats - Prime bone-in strip - Butcher Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

The meats available here are the best I've tasted and I spent 40 years in the hotel and restaurant business before retiring recently. The New York strip is to die for...many USDA PRIME selections, cous cous, olives, lobster tails, olive oils, etc.The couple running things (owners) are knowledgeable and very friendly ! It's a "neighborhood gem" I'll return to often! Rating is 5 stars! read more

They offer the best selection of the highest quality that this carnivore has seen available to consumers in Jacksonville. If you don't see what you want (you are probably blind) they quickly offer to get it in for you. read more

Ok, the cleanest meat market I've ever seen. The owner is incredibly knowledgeable about his products. The meat is amazing. His wife is Moroccan (i think this is accurate) and makes superb sausages and marinated chickens. And they're really nice people. This is a place I'd hit for sure if I was cooking for my boss, or if dinner really mattered. It's a bit out of my way for routine shopping, but well worth the trip for special events. In short, the best meat market I've seen outside of California (The Marin Sun Butcher shop in Point Reyes might have them beat by a tad) read more

Friendly service, awesome cuts of QUALITY meat. Next time I'm in the area, I'm buying wagyu again. Also, i bought elk. If it's a special occasion, and you're planning to celebrate with a delicious home cooked meal, it must start with quality ingredients and you will find that here! WAGYU! read more

Clines is by far the best butcher in town! I have been coming to Clines for about 6 months now and won't buy a steak anywhere else in town. If you're looking for anything from ground beef to A5 wagyu this is the place to go. They sell beef, poultry and seafood (no pork) and they really know what they are doing. You aren't going to get Publix prices but you absolutely get your money worth if you like to cook a nice cut of beef. I've been able to get wagyu hangar steak (incredible) and some other harder to come by cuts (they will happily cut you a steak to your preferred thickness). Please support this incredible local business, the staff is incredibly friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. You will be hard pressed to find a better butcher in Jacksonville! read more

Got a couple steaks for myself and my husband for Valentine's Day, and we are SO GLAD we did! We spent about $40 on high quality steaks that would have cost over $100 at a dinner out somewhere. The shop is clean and they have a massive selection of quality meats and vegetables. We even got some shiitake mushrooms and they were excellent. Can't wait to see what else is in store for Cline's! read more

Without question, Clines is a wonderful place to get fresh meat...and seafood! You'll be happy you made the trek to the best butcher in San Marco! read more

Prices are 3 to 5 times higher than other local meat shops. I stopped by this places because of the reviews and ran away as soon as I asked for 8oz filet mignon ~($15). Other cuts seemed to be overpriced. That's my own judgment based on 2 other meat shops I've used locally. read more

Such a great idea for San Marco . When I i first walked in it was very welcoming, VERY clean, and no bad odor and for a meat shop that's impressive. Great quality meat and really nice staff. I definitely will be back to grab more and also excites my new adventures on cooking at home without the hassle to go to the grocery since I work around the corner . Supper convenient and easy access . I got ground beef to make Patty's and also grabbed from same Plaza Olive trees Falafel it was the best combo ! read more

My husband found this new local butcher shop down the road. He brought home delicious filets, porterhouse and beef kabobs. Our young picky eater ate up the kabobs! Meat was tender and not fatty. They also sell sides like cheese and dips. Great new addition to San Marco! read more

In a word: awesome. Clines has the best of everything they sell. The steaks and beef Wellington are fantastic. The baking potatoes are way better than what you get in any other grocery store. The frozen shrimp is just as good or better than fresh. They have prime grade chicken, beef, lamb and some fish...no pork because it doesn't meet certification standards. There are all kinds os scrumptious little extras in this store. It's as expensive as you would reasonably expect for such high quality product. I'm hooked on Clines! read more
