The predecessor of this store is "Bucky's Butchery." This…read morestore opened in 2020, which is located on the first floor of Meat Science & Animal Biologics Discovery building. There is a fee-based parking structure next door. It also offers curbside pickup and takes online orders. The store staff can provide more details. The store carries lamb, beef, chicken, and pork products, raised at the UW-Madison's own farms. It also carries cheese products but unsure if they are all made by the UW-Madison. The store is clean and well organized but seems to be a bit low on some stocks due to its popularity. The prices is average. This is a unique concept because the shop is student-run with education and innovation focus instead of just "selling meat." This store provides an additional option to support the UW-Madison and a way to obtain good quality meat. In the lobby next to the store, it has a timeline and exhibitions showcasing meat cutting history and technology. While the staff there wasn't able to fully answer my inquiries but still provides helpful info as a first-time visitor. What's unusual is that it also sells Asian products like dumplings, which doesn't seem to be something one would expect from a specialty meat shop. Unsure if it's one-time only, seasonal, or long term. An interesting shop, worth a visit at least once.

I have been searching for a place a little closer to buy raw bones for my dog, and stumbled upon…read morethis place. The staff was fantastic, friendly, helpful and genuinely interested in ensuring I got what I needed. The shop was extremely clean, nicely organized and had many speciality items. The meat was fresh, high quality and they were willing to work with you to get whatever cut you needed. EXTREMELY reasonable in price. Will most definitely be back. Plus - my Great Dane approved of them (and their treats). The highest honor!

I've enjoyed bone-in chicken thighs ( I use these for the NYT recipe "Garlicky Chicken Thighs with Scallions and Lime." I've also gotten tasty beef for a heart stewy stew, fantastically flavored sausage, and bacon beyond belief. All were amazing, highly recommend!! On the service: You ask, they'll tell you what to get, and their expertise plays out in your incredible home cooked meals. Ambiance is super charming, friendly, down-to-earth goodness!

Everything I have purchased from The Conscious Carnivore has been exceptional, but my favorite…read morepurchase hands down has been the grass-fed ground beef. We bit the bullet and purchased the Super Grinder Box - 25 lbs of grass fed ground beef and 4 whole chickens - and it was a fantastic decision! We prepped the burgers by mixing the meat with garlic and onion powder, seasoning each side with ample salt and pepper, then grilling the burgers at 500 degrees for 3.5-4 min/side. THEY. WERE. INCREDIBLE. The grass-fed beef has a unique taste and I have come to prefer it. I will never go back to store-bought beef... and I love to be able to buy local. Next time we will go for the Ground Beef Box instead, though, as the chicken is a bit too messy to prepare for our liking. We ordered 4-Rib Roast for Christmas dinner and that, too, was wonderful. The Rib Roast is a bit too fatty to be a personal favorite for me but the men absolutely loved it. The dry aged New York Strips we ordered a few weeks back were absolutely wonderful, and I highly recommend the barbecue sauces for pulled pork/chicken recipes and the cheddar beef sticks are an awesome snack. You can't go wrong with anything from this store!

I stopped by to buy some beef. This is a small neat store. I got a pound of of ground beef for…read moreabout $9 and a boneless ribeye steak for about $26 per pound. Both were really good. There was chicken in the freezer. I think the beef is the best thing to get from here, that too get the beef from display. There is more beef in the freezer, but I didnt find that as good as the one in the display. There were some other boutique items like expensive salt.

Catered an all-ages picnic for 56 but I ordered for 50 heads because a dozen were young kids…read more Ordered brisket, chicken, BBQ sauce, beans, slaw, and mac & cheese. There was plenty left over. The food was delivered 21 minutes away, arriving exactly at the promised time, 100% complete, with some trays still too hot to touch. I included bread & supplies with the order, and the delivery included plenty of serving spoons & tongs, utensils, plates, & napkins. Brisket and sauce were fantastic. The chicken needs work--dry and low flavor. The hamburger buns were very bready and big, too big for many. The sides were fun and interesting new flavors. The slaw was tasty-tangy but very white--challenging those who like their vegetables green. Sorry folks. The beans were super popular. I would get them again, all of those sides. But the chicken...you might go in and taste-test it first. On the front end, it was so easy to arrange for this catering through the website and email. The communication was prompt and accurate. Changes, inquiries, and payment were handled seamlessly. I arranged for this food from long distance, and Beef&Butter really came through. It's a little more expensive than some other Madison options but in the end I was really happy to support this business and the people running it. I wish them great success in the future.

Nice place. Ambience is typical BBQ joint vibe and was clean…read more Had the brisket, jalapeno cheddar sausage, coleslaw and baked beans. The sausage is a rock star - it was fantastic. Sides were pretty good too. However, I have to say the brisket was a bit of a disappointment - it was way overcooked, like it had been smoked at too high of a temperature. It was edible but really dry. Just overcooked or held too long. Had to douse it in sauce to eat it which is a total shame. Would have been a 5 star rating if not for the brisket. I'd come back again, maybe when they were busier.

We went here for lunch before a game and everyone loved their food. It is very comfortable and…read moreservice was fantastic, really friendly and responsive. We had called in advance for reservations since we had a large party which is a good idea. They have a great menu including some great beers on tap (I had a blue moon, but others enjoyed local choices. Then we started out with some fried cheese curds. I am not a big fan of cheese curds, but these were delicious with a light bread coating and fried perfectly. For my main course, I ordered the Nashville which includes spareribs and brisket (on Texas toast). They have some incredible sides where you could pick two--I had the corn muffins and the beans (but also tried the hush puppies which were also great. Really excellent barbeque. The ribs were cooked just right and had a really nice flavor. They have several choices for sauces you can add on the table and the sweet one worked great for me. Then as much as I liked the ribs, I absolutely loved the brisket. Great flavor and it just melted in my mouth. Then both sides were outstanding, the corn muffins were so good. Everyone loved their sides. The portions were really generous also. Nobody finished and everyone loved it. Definitely worth a trip!

All the packaging for travel was superior, the staff was attentive and super friendly, enjoyed the atmosphere & clean restrooms during our short wait for pick-up. The brisket was phenomenal, chicken & ribs both fall-apart delectable. We sampled a variety of yummy sauces. Everyone loved the Mac N Cheese and we're a tough crowd. Hubs loved the cornbread muffins and I was impressed with the perfectly creamy cole slaw. Plenty of leftovers that we polished off the next day. Would return, maybe to add some seafood next time!

While they seem to be known for their sandwiches, and for good reason, they have a lot of great artisanal items rooted in Italian cooking. This includes oils, wines, sauces, spices, treats and more. The "more" also includes fresh-made pasta, hand cut meats and cheeses, gelato and a few other absolutely delish items! Back to that sandwich...we were not hungry, but could not pass up a good sandwich, especially one freshly made on locally sourced and baked bread! The bread was the absolutely star of each bite, I mean...sheesh! The sandwich in full was great, and definitely worth the stop in on its own. The store itself is small, but mighty, and well laid out, stocked with all the goods, flows well, clean and in great condition. Service was stellar as well. We were greeted upon entry, checked on while browsing and chatted up while being rang out. Overall, solid spot for a ready-made meal, a special ingredient, a tasty sandwich, fresh pasta, charcuterie or just to wander around in!
