Olivier's Butchery is my spot for high-quality meats in San Francisco The cuts are extensive here are and the meat is exceptional. Grass-fed options and dry-aged steaks stand out for their rich taste and are far superior to grocery store. They stock an impressive range, from beef and pork to poultry, and house-made sausages. Custom cuts and seasonal specials make it easy to find exactly what you need for grilling, roasting, or gourmet meals. The staff are knowledgeable pros who offer spot-on advice on prep, aging, and pairings without any upselling. They'll even break down a whole cuts to your specs on the spot, making every visit feel personalized and efficient. read more

This is the fourth holiday season in a row I've gotten our prime rib roast from Olivier's, so I'm long overdue for a review. The quality is always on point (you get what you pay for) and the process is easy to preorder. The main thing to plan for is the long wait in line to pick up your preorder. In prior years, I've usually picked up on Christmas Eve and the wait can exceed 90 mins to 2 hours depending on when you arrive - this is the case even when you doorbust at opening time. This year, we picked up on the 23rd and arrived around opening time, and it only took 30 minutes. There are also very high quality pantry goods to peruse and purchase, including pasta, mustards, spices, tinned goods, etc. Onto the meat: I preordered late this year so got 21 day aged prime rib roast (would usually aim for 45+ days), but honestly it was hard to tell the difference. I ordered the roast pre seasoned, cradled and tied for ease and it was very high quality, easy to cook and delicious. Shoutout to the very friendly and hardworking staff at Olivier's - I see yall fighting for your lives trying to control that line every year (lol). Thank you for your service! read more

My family tried Olivier's for the first time and we really enjoyed it! The shop is very nice, well stocked, and the staff are welcoming and knowledgeable. Also great to see the owners out in the shop helping guests - we had a lot of questions and they patiently answered all of them. We bought the whole chicken roti for dinner. Very easy to cook and delicious. My kids loved it and wanted even more. We also tried a couple different breakfast sausages and we also really enjoyed them. We are looking forward to going back and trying more! read more

Everything I have ever purchased from Olivier's Butchery has been superb, especially the aged holiday roast (other items purchased include steaks, bacon, sausage, lamb in a variety of cuts). As others have pointed out, that aged beef roast a popular item. You have to be sure to order it in advance and as it gets close to the holiday be prepared to wait in line a bit to pick it up. However, it's a superb roast and now an annual tradition for us. Congrats on the sale of the store and good luck to the new owners! I hope nothing changes. read more

"For the love of meat" You can feel the passion here at Olivier's Butchery. The staff is friendly and enthusiastic. The place is pristine as if they just opened, but has been open since 2011. You can peer into the cutting room in the back and everything looks as clean as the store front. You know they're handling everything with precision and care. So what's so special about this place as far as the meats? Several different qualities of organic grass fed meats dry aged to perfection. Truly a home chef's dream. organic grass fed beef, aged to to 21 - 45 days, marinated single portions, and for home chef's advance bone marrow. Makes a great gift for your home chef or meat lover. Locals seem to walk over just to pick up a steak, or piece of marinated meat to cook for dinner. We also met people from the South and North bay who drove all the way over to pick up grass fed meats. My husbands comes in often to grab meats for our new meat locker fridge to finish dry aging at home. Enjoy. read more

So I just left Olivier's , I had gone in requesting 8 pounds of hamburger meat individually wrapped into 1 pound servings wrapped in butcher paper only cause I'm trying to avoid plastic...(my blood work indicates too much plastic in my system) the butcher said no problem went in the back got my order ready. I got into the car and just double checked because I had this feeling and sure enough everything was wrapped in plastic on the inside of the butcher paper. I took it back in to complain, they said they had to use the plastic to keep the meat off the scale which I get, I feel they could've just put one sheet of plastic on the scale and then weigh out the 1 pound portions of hamburger in the butcher paper already wrapped. They get one star for not being able to accommodate what I felt was a simple request.... I was a regular there, but won't be back. I will miss their pastrami. read more

These people absolutely love meat, and it shows. They know the cuts, they know the marinades. The product quality is high, and their pre-marinated meat is absolutely delicious. Definitely tell them what you're trying to do and ask for advice, they will have advice for you. They've got a wide variety of meat, including less common ones like duck, quails and rabbit. There is no seafood. The prices are not cheap, but it is one of those things where they are actually providing value for what you pay for. It is also by far and away the cleanest butcher shop I have ever been to. The only serious downside to this place is their days open are a bit odd - you have to plan ahead. They're only open Wednesday-Sunday. read more

This is an excellent butcher shop! We bought game hens and a marinated hanger steak! I search many places for the game hens--Safeway, Whole Foods, some Asian markets--and no dice! I am making Korean Gingseng Chicken Soup! The steak was delicious!!! read more

Has always been great! Never had a bad experience (maybe the small prime rib ordered with a bone) but was still very good.The lovely chicken roti's (are the best), and marinated chicken thighs are my favorites. Love Olivier's Butchery Pam read more

Great service and great selection of meat cuts and sausages. The butcher was very helpful and knowledgeable.

Went there to get a good slice of steak for my dads bday and didn't know anything about what to get. The people in the store greeted me and were really helpful in helping me find a good steak in my price range. The inside seemed very organized with all sort of meat selections in the fridge's vacuum sealed. Overall a very good fast and helpful, visit as I was also rushing because I parked in a red zone. read more

Always have great cuts of meat. The best brisket on the planet! Occasionally they have grass fed-grain finished beef which is how we raised our angus cattle when I was growing up. read more

Olivier's Butchery has very fresh and high quality meat. I like their beef selection and my husband loves the chicken wings. The service is always great. It has a very hip ambiance. Even though we've moved out of the area, we still drive out of our way to get meat here because of the great quality. read more

Great neighborhood butcher shop! The selection on weekends are great. We especially love the 21 day aged grass fed ribeye! It always cooks and tastes perfect. We also grab marrow bones for our dogs too! read more

I was recommended by a friend where to buy rabbit meat. Went there and the staff was very helpful and gave me good advice on how to cook it. The establishment was clean and organized. Will tell my other friends about this place. read more

This place is simply amazing. From selection to quality to customer service, they are top notch. Best in San Francisco.

Delicious meet and outstanding service. I've ordered online and picked up at the store. Very convenient. Highly recommended.

The Australian Wagyu is NOT good. Very out of character for this place. It looks very marbled but they don't trim off the fat, which is very rancid. read more

As I make my way to a bbq with some friends I took the obligation of picking up some meat to grill and was thinking about all the seasonings and ingredients I needed. It finally dawned on me that I have no idea what I was doing and remembered a buddy of mine talking about Olivier's. So, I walked into the shop and was amazed! Beautiful set up and awesome staff. I'm a sucker for the industrial look: steel beams, concrete walls and clean lines. On to the service: I was pleasantly greeted and asked if I needed help with anything and they directed me to the pre-seasoned section or had the option to chat with the SME (subject matter expert) on what types of cut to grill. I walked over to the fridges and was like whhhhhhut???? From duck to chicken to pork they had it all! Every cut you can image. Cheddar Jalapeño sausages - I could slowly feel my life energy rise from the spice of the jalapeño and the cheddar blanketed the love ensuring every last drop of energy was replenished. That's one dang good sausage. Probably the best I've ever had. Definitely trying this again, but next time I think I'd put it in a roll with hella sauerkraut. Pork Loin - to die for. This definitely beats your big box and even your local "trader" alternative option. The meat was fresh, marinated just ever so slightly. This was definitely a treat and you can taste the quality of the meat at a level of bar none. All in all (Borat's voice): "That's a very nice!" I'll be back, this business is the 1, 2 and 3. read more

One of my go to Butchers in SF.. they were even able to get me a whole pig once. Their spatchcock chicken is a great option if you want something easy and fast to cook while still feeling highbrow read more

Part 4: This time we bought the Boneless Rib-eye and Wagyu Tri tip for dinner. Like always the meats did not disappoint. They taught me how to cook the Tri tip in the oven. It was absolutely delicious. We cooked the Ribeye to medium and it melted in our mouths. Amazing service with outstanding environment to select from. Thank you again! Happy New Year's! read more

A truly remarkable place... dare I say BEST butcher within SF city limits!!! Lovely staff, eager to help, very clean space, amazing product with many grab and go, pre-marinated options. Complementary products like mustard, spices and pasta were plentiful! The only drawback for me was how the music interacted with the mostly solid concrete and metal surfaces. (I originally rated a 4 star because if this... but.. realized the product overpowers this nuisance) Not much to say other than "Wow! Y'all are doing it RIGHT!" ... see pics, they speak for themselves! read more

Good quality meat. Lots of varieties. Reasonable price. Open on weekends which is a plus. Greeted by a female staff and was very friendly and knowledgeable. She answered all my questions. Tried some of their items and were satisfied. Thumb up! read more

I was super excited to pick up my order after reading all these reviews. I ordered two steaks one 45 day dry aged NY and one Ribeye, the NY looks great and the ribeye does not. I am usually not one to complain, I worked in a high end meat department for 10 years and I've heard it all. The steak they gave me was an end cut with 66% of fat and I am not happy. Maybe it was an off day I might give it another try if they make it right. Review has been edited from one start to 3 UPDATE: So the manager called and said that she saw what happened and was so sorry she did not intervene, and took care of the ribeye. The NY looked fantastic so I have no problem paying for that. I am glad she fixed the issue, I will give them another shot. I don't complain about stuff like this and this is my first review. I just wanted my first purchase from Olivier's to be an amazing experience. read more

Fun place to splurge on raw meat and seasonings in the Dogpatch. The cases are clean and easy to browse. If you buy meat from places like Whole Foods regularly, then you should check this place out. Honestly, I didn't notice a huge taste difference from this meat vs. Safeway and such. It's cool to support a local business though. I really like that they have individual portions of meat that are pre-marinated and vacuum sealed. If I had a sous vide thing and a grill, then I would be in heaven. I also found some quality pork bones for broth that are not usually found in American supermarkets. Since Olivier's is a real butchery, they may not have specific cuts of meat ready on hand. You should call ahead to confirm if they've got it. Or order ahead if you have a big request. Or just let them surprise you. The guys were really friendly, helpful, not pushy which I appreciated, and were available when I had some questions. Parking is so random in that area. Sometimes awesome, sometimes not. Parking on a weekday that particular afternoon was such a pain unfortunately. I eventually found parking after circling the nearby blocks 5x. read more

Terrific butcher Super high quality dry aged beef Top restaurants around SF also buy from Olivier's So so glad that we can finally feast on premium quality meats Have tried the thick cut pork chops, 21 day dry aged entrecote (ribeye), and will definitely go back to buy some lamb in the future. read more

Best butcher shop we have ever been. Fantastic meat at good price. Porchetta roast was delicious. We will be back.

This is a butcher shop that respects the craft and they're incredible at it. Love their prime aged steaks - can get 21 day, 45 day and sometimes 69 day aged. They have beef bacon which tastes better than regular bacon. The store is super clean, well labeled and the staff knows what they're taking about. Have had aged beef from other top SF butchers and unfortunately it's not good. They are the best in SF, additional things I've love to see: *more 69 day aged steaks - so tasty *aged filet mignon, have had it before and it's great *if they had a small selection of A5 Wagyu (believe they used to), this would be my one stop shop read more

Yesterday was my second time visiting this shop. Customer service here is outstanding. Folks see you shopping and ask if they can help or get something for you. I was at the shop to pick up my Thanksgiving turkey pre-order. The lady processing the pre-orders was awesome - she had great energy. She was attentive, super fast at processing orders and thorough. It's so GREAT to be treated so well as a customer given how rare that experience is. I left the shop uplifted. read more

Amazing butcher. I make the drive up from San Jose for holiday meats: turkey and prime rib roast. If I lived closer I'm sure that I would go often. The quality of the meat is outstanding. It's a joy just staring into the fridges and the counter. read more

45 day dry aged prime tomahawk, cooked between rare and medium rare. Sublime! We probably won't be going to a restaurant for a steak in the immediate future. No need! read more

We love Olivier's and so does everyone else since there's always a line around the holidays. They have a great selection of every kind of meat you could want, and the employees are beyond friendly and knowledgeable. We especially love the aged ribeyes, the different kinds of sausage, and the hamburger patties. You can really taste the difference in quality between them and even Whole Foods. I can't wait to try their other offerings. Highly recommend! read more

Not that this butchery needs anymore 5/5 stars but the service compelled me to write this review! The lady that checked in with me was full of enthusiasm and was such a pleasant person. Moreover, the pre-marinated 21 day aged rib eye was so easy to cook and was absolutely delicious. The prices are fair and the line was fast. Olivier's consistently beats expectations. read more
