As has been for decades, John's Butcher Shop is the real McCoy! Excellent super high quality meats and Seafood.

Love this place. Great meats and great people. There were mentions of them being closed, but that is not true. Je did take a vacation. He is closed Mon and Tues. To get orders ready. He is busy so you have to call and order and he will have your stuff ready NEVER been disappointed. read more

Pre-order only apparently. No more burgers either. Steak was fine, overpriced by about $5-7/lb in my opinion. Probably just look somewhere else next time with a better selection. read more

Tucked away at the far corner of us highway 41 and Lutz lake fern road is John's. I have been going to John's for a long time now and I don't think John works there anymore. The guys that do work there are keeping up the tradition. They are closed Monday so they can cut the meat. They have a nice selection of meat and I pick up delmonticos from them a lot. Nice flavor and great price, they are local so stop by and spend some local money. Simple fresh beef. That's the secret,ground that day. Juicy and delicious. Every time I go I end up getting a stick of jerky too. Do yourself a favor and swing on by, grab a steak and enjoy. read more

Mike is wonderful! I highly recommend purchasing meat from his establishment. You can count on quality product and always a friendly service! His shop is always clean. I am grateful to be able to support a local establishment! read more

Drove over 20 minutes just to see a sign on the window that read "due to a high volume of orders it is pre order only". Called the number, and no answer. Came at 2 pm on a Tuesday.Waste of a trip!! read more

Excellent quality of beef! Cut to order, and personalized attention. Family owned, call before going and check hours open. Meat personally cut. read more

John's is truly a hidden gem. We love their charcoal steaks. They're the most tender and flavorful steaks I've ever had. Order a burger. They'll grill it for you while you wait. Get a tub of salad to go with it. Take it to the little park . It's within walking distance. You won't be sorry if you try this little gem. read more

Excellent fresh Polish sausage and brats! I put an order in every Easter for our Polish brunch.

It's a hidden treasure. I am new to Florida and coming from Chicago I was happy to find a real butcher. John's is just under a half-hour from my house (13 miles) in Wesley Chapel but well worth the drive. He has a beautiful selection of meats and cuts. The gentleman that handled my order was just that; a gentlemen. I highly recommend John's Butcher Shop. read more

a go to place for great personal service. Perfectly quality cut custom meats. Freshness you can see and smell way above big box stores like Publix or Winn-Dixie read more

My husband and I visited John's Butcher Shop today for the first time. We purchased several different items including pork spare ribs. We made the ribs tonight using the same recipe we usually use for ribs. Taking our first bites, we realized these ribs are the best we have ever eaten. We will definitely be back again. Thank you Mike for the quality of meat you sell and the time and attention you give every customer. read more

Growing up when I was in High School I would come here almost everyday and have them make me a burger. It was normally a 1/2 pound with cheese and onion. I can honestly say that it might be in the top 10 burgers I have ever eaten which is why im sure I ate one almost every day after school. I haven't been there in awhile but im sure it hasn't changed. I remember one day John made me 1 pound burger which I cant believe I finished. lol They are also a full butcher shop so you can get really good quality meats there. read more

It is hard to find nothing to direct you to it but why you get there you will know it because of the big roof sign take the ramp to your right to the entrance we arrived at 1:30 on Saturday and the meat was gone they where out of everything. We did Oder about &60. Worth to pick up on Tuesday. You should call before driving all the way out and find the meat shelves empty. After I ordered I saw a Board sign it. Read $100 special 25 lbs of your choice of cuts for $100.00 plus tax. John let me redo my order and for $40 more I got a lot more. read more

So plain from the outside. I thought "either this place is a hidden gem or a hot mess!" I asked around, read reviews and so glad I did. THE BEST ribeyes I've ever made. We also got an amazing flank steak. Can't wait to buy more items here. read more

Great butcher shop, amazing people! I usually get the family pack and it's a great value.

Best steak ever. Big and plump. When cooked delicious and tender.

I'm always on the hunt for a small mom/pop shops and this one checked the box. I saw this place tucked away years ago and never went in and recently, I drove out in the lutz area for some errands. Long story short, I stopped in right at 10:00am when they opened. I was greeted by a gentlemen named Mike who was very friendly. I told him i was looking to make some burgers later in the day and he literally grounded up fresh meat for me, on the spot. Burgers came out great with a very balanced flavor. I did ask about briskets and pork butts; turns out they don't carry them, however, they will order and you can pick up when they arrive. Great little place - support small business read more

Amazing butcher shop, super friendly and really great quality and prices. I have come in several time for large and specific cuts of meat and have been so impressed with the service, skill, and much fairer prices than at the supermarket or Whole Foods. Definitely recommend for all your meat needs! Supporting local butchers is the way to go! read more

I was looking for a local butcher to shop small, build a relationship, and find good quality meat. Everyone here was nice enough, but the quality of meat isn't even USDA select. I bought a strip steak, at 15 bucks a pound, and didn't inspect it too much before I left. I assumed that it would be at least USDA Choice status for the price- after all, they have a decent yelp rating and there's no way they could be in business and be selling garbage- boy was I wrong. I will be grinding up this "steak" for use in a meat sauce. I cannot attest to their other products, but their beef is below sub-par. I'm actually really really really disappointed. I was hopeful to find a good quality local butcher, something that's hard to find in the Tampa area. Instead I'm building a better relationship with the Publix Meat department. read more

See all

I love this place, the meat is amazing. We got the 100.00 for a bunch of different meats. The owner was super nice. They cut the meat, chicken, sausage however you world like it cut, they will even season it for you. They have a lot of different choices of meats. The service was super quick. The place was super clean. I recommend it to everyone. read more

Do you want quality meat and a "down-home" atmosphere that is family-oriented and served with a smile? This is your place. It's simple, yet amazing. The cuts of meat are top-notch and decently-priced. They also have some side items pre-made that are tea good. They make awesome Cuban sandwiches and blts and cater platters that are better than even Publix. This place is located right off us 41 by the library. It's easy to miss if you're not paying attention, because it looks like a house, but has a raised sign on top of it. Give this place a try and you won't regret it. read more

This place is a treasure! A local fresh meat butcher shop! I go weekly to get meat. Also great for last minute cookouts, a few times I've preordered for larger quantities. Prices and Quality are better than the grocery stores. I'm told they also do turkey and duck at the holidays, but I've not tried that yet. I recommend you give them a try. read more

Welp it's been done. Oakleys Grill has been over run by Johns Butcher Shop for number 1 burger in the Bay Area. Who hoo congrats to John's. Tender, flavorful, juicy, did I say flavorful? I normally slather my burger with condiments but this burger is so good I don't even want condiments. Crunchy bacon charred edges of fantastic ground beef. The bun is soft and holds everything in place. Just a fantastically constructed burger. The best plain and simple. My beautiful wife tried the Cuban, traditional and while It wasn't the largest sandwich we've eaten it was certainly the most flavorful. The meats were different in some way not over salted flaps of rubber but seasoned nicely. Johns Butcher Shop has risen to the top of our lunch list. Thank you for a great experience. read more

Awesome butcher shop! Best cuts and always delicious! And we always enjoy their various made up dinners, sausages and sides too!

Love Love Love John's Butcher Shop! Best place to get steaks, chicken etc. Fresh and affordable. You will never be able to eat grocery store meats again. Friendly service and family owned. read more

I nominate John's For the best steak sandwich in Tampa Bay. I also buy my meat and poultry there. Ken read more

This is a great local butcher shop. But what I really really love are their hamburgers. Specifically their half pound cheeseburger. This truly is the best hamburger you can buy in the Lutz Land O Lakes area at any price. And to top it off they have sweet tea! Really, here you can get a fresh hamburger right off the grill, made with fresh ground meat for less than you would pay at Wendy's! So please support this local business I know I do and will! read more

Not impressed at all. After multiple people on a community forum said John's was the place to go for good quality meats, I had to give it a try. Walking in I wasn't greeted, even though there were 2 men working and no customers. I looked at the limited selection while one of the men came over and stood in front of me, still no greeting. I ordered 3 steaks- no offer to let me pick which ones and no communication with me except for asking if I wanted debit or credit during the entire interaction. I left unimpressed and out $25 for what probably wasn't more than a pound of meat. When I got it home and opened it up, the bottom of each steak was brown. Needless to say, I will not return and the search for a good butcher and quality meat continues. read more

Awesome butcher shop with interesting cuts of meat and varieties of sausages. They will cut everything to your specifications. The hidden gem here is the delicious bacon cheeseburgers they make! They cook it slow and load it up with cheese and bacon. The meat is super fresh and this unlikely place might have the best burgers in tampa. Just sayin. read more

Great set up! My boyfriend and I were looking for a local butcher and we got lucky and found this place! The charcoal cut steak is to die for and was so fresh! We will definitely be back to try something from their menu and we will bring our pups because there is a dog park behind the shop! read more

Great butcher shop. Never had anything less than ideal from these fellas. Enough homemade sausages and skewered meats to keep it interesting. Make sure you get BONES for your DOG while you're there! They'll sell you whole raw femurs will a bit of meat left on them and all the marrow still inside for less than half of what pet shops charge for crappy, flaky, cooked ones (raw bones are best for dogs, btw). Your dog will love you forever... read more

Not a great selection and the guys that work here are gumpy. I got berated for asking if they had flank steak.

The best burgers in town period and I've had them all. Simple, Grind the near right there, put on charcoal grill, layer with your fixings and you have simple perfection.... read more

VERY friendly, family business. You can get raw meats for your freezer, or cooked burgers for lunch. Everything is highest quality and prices are just right! read more

Good little family meat shop with GREAT backyard burgers at good prices. No frills kind of place. Got some ribeyes(can't remember grade) to cook at home and they were decent. Bacon is excellent with burgers or for taking home for whatever. They also have pre-marinated meats and shish kabobs with chicken, steak or shrimp and some other little goodies you can just pop in the oven for a quick no hassle meal. Oh and it looks like they grind the ground beef daily so that is probably the reason the burgers taste so good. read more

Best fresh burgers you can buy for lunch. And best fresh meat in town! They have all your standard options plus some already seasoned and flavored stuff. Their burgers they make for lunch are fresh as can be and better than any chain burger read more

We have been coming to John's since they were located in land o lakes. Always great service and pretty good prices. The best ground chuck available in the Tampa Bay Area. They make burgers in the spot and I am spoiled by their fresh ground chuck. I can't even eat ground chuck from Publix or Winn Dixie anymore. Their sizzles steaks are great too and great price. read more

this place is awesome. you want a quality piece of meat this is the place, from there steaks to kabobs just great!!!!!!!!!!!!!! so glad i found them a few years ago reminds of the butcher in pa we always went to family owned and friendly. :) read more

I love johns butcher shop. It's an unassuming little shop just off US 41 in Lutz. I've lived in the area for fourteen years but had never stopped in until a few months ago. I was actually looking for a local butcher that carried grass-fed, no hormone beef and poultry. The meats are fantastic but I also discovered that they made sandwiches as well. The burgers are awesome. Juicy and flavorful and best of all....affordable! They have Cubans and porkchop sandwiches and even grilled cheese. They don't have a dryer, so they don't offer fries but that okay. The burgers make up for it. read more
