We've had many GREAT Thanksgiving dinners brought in from here but last night's chicken And brisket was not good. The matzoh ball soup was tasteless and the chicken looked completely unappetizing and also lacked flavor. No longer our go-to for prepared meals read more

I ended up with a chef prepared chicken pot pie. It's a take home and cook meal. It's good! Not too salty and the crust was delicious! I also got wild rice but I haven't tasted it yet. I would love to try more items from here. read more

See all

Went to this place on July 24, 2025 because they advertised chicken pot pies. They were overly expensive at $15 a pie, but my wife wanted to try them. Besides being overpriced for each pie, we cooked them and it was the worst experience we have ever had. There was hardly any chicken. It was all potato and very dry with hardly any crust and no fluid or gravy within the whole thing. It was the worst experience we have had in a long time. Being ripped off for $15 for a pot pie didn't hurt as much as this pot pie was terrible at this. I do not recommend this place. I did talk to a friend and he told me they even tried the place and all the food there is terrible! I should've known when I walked in that no one else was in the store and that should've been a warning, but unfortunately, I did not follow my instinct! Do not use this store because if the rest of their food is like the chicken pot pie, then I suggest you go elsewhere. read more

Perfectly trimmed chicken everytime, nothing but the best bell evans. I notice the difference everytime, they last longer than publix taste much better and absolutely 0 bad pieces everything trimmed to perfection before i even touch them. The meat selection is the best ive had out of all the butchers ive tried out. Ive been coming to this specific spot for the last year+ religiously every week, all the guys working here are super friendly and helpful they keep me coming back lol And for all dog owners PLEASE PURCHASE THEIR BEEF/liver OR CHICKEN DOG TREATS Also for picky doggos BUY THEIR CHICKEN SHAKE, no kidding my dog will eat a pile of vomit as long as the chicken shake is applied chicken shake + meeting place doggo treats is literal doggo crack hide the supply cause unnattended your dope fiend of a doggo will sniff em out and attempt to ramsack the bags of num nums My dog is beyond addicted to the doggo treats infact i touch the bag 4 rooms down and she will sprint immediately to me for treats, very high quality foods all around ive yet to buy something unsatisfactory at this location, they are too good at what they do best butchers around read more

Had cooked brisket and noodle pudding for the holiday. Excellent. steaks,burgers and Salmon are delicious. chicken barley soup was yummy Great customer service. My husband doesn't eat meat but run there for myself. I feel if I'm enjoying steak it should be the "Best" This really is. Oh and the shop is immaculate. read more

Great selection and customer service! I got a 14 lb prime rib for my holiday party and everyone loved it

On or about 6/3/2022 I bought 2 rib eye steaks from this place. They were beautiful, and cooked to a medium rare. They could not be cut with a steak knife and were tough and very chewy. This is not the first time I have had bad meat from this establishment. Before Christmas 2021 I purchased 4 filet mignon and they were also very chewy. About 2 weeks ago I tried 2 filets again the same outcome. I brought the 2 rib eye steaks back today for them to exchange them and the manager was rude and very nastsy. Stay away from this place..................................I wish I could give them a 0 rating. I will never set foot in there again. read more

I bought two prime rib steaks from this place on June 4th. I cooked one of them. It looked absolutely gorgeous, cooked medium rare. I could not cut this sreak with j my steak knife and it was very chewy. I went back to complain and the manager said sorry, I can not help you! I was a loyal customer of this place for many years and always went out of my way to go there. The quality of there meat has suffered. The manager was ridiculously rude. I wasn't even asking for my money back. I will never return! plus $12 for a pound of chicken when The Boys next door charges $6 a pound for Bell & Evans .. read more

Old fashioned butcher shop just like back in the day. Quality meats at an affordable price. Lou the owner is an honest man and will always treat the customer like a king. Try the pork chops "it's the best in the city" read more

We had a dinner party for 16. Chose the Meating Place. They provided a poached salmon, hand carved turkey off the bone and an uncooked filet. The instructions were easy to follow and was phenomenal!!!! 3 people from my party just moved to Boca and they will be shopping there to get amazing prime meats. The shrimp cocktail was delish!!! I would recommend this gourmet butcher in a second. Thx Tyler for helping us. You were great!!! They even put the stuff in my car. Great experience!!!!! read more

I see the other great reviews but that was not my experience. My 10 year old son has recently started to like steak so I took him to a "real" butcher, the folks behind the counter were less friendly and informative than the Fresh Market. And, check out the porterhouse photo I posted -- where's the filet? I won't be back. read more

The Meating Place West - Look at the filet side of that porterhouse. 'Nuff said. - Meat Shops Near Me - Boca Raton, Florida

Butcher shop in the back, quality meats presented in the front. Big pieces of scallops that are as fresh as can be. Chicken Breast were great. The Ribeye Steak were top notch. And the best are their hamburger beef patties. This place will shrink your wallet size quite a bit so be prepared. You guys Rock! read more

Great place to go for quality cuts and meats. Definitely worth the prices, which might be considered high, but decent in my opinion. The guys are always welcoming and definitely know their craft. Need help/ideas on how to make the items you're picking up? They'll be more than willing to help you out. Honestly, my only issue was concerning their website. Some outdated information/items no longer offered in-store was a bit of a disappointment. Otherwise, it's a great place to go for your fresh steak/seafood/etc. read more

I thought this would be like a New York butcher shop. We want to make goose this Christmas, so I am calling around. Me: "Will you carry goose for Christmas". Response: "No". Me: "Can we order one from you". Response: "No". Do you know who might carry goose in Boca? Response: "No, we only know about us". I was not impressed with the customer service, to say the least. read more

This is one of the most customer friendly businesses that I have ever dealt with. We had bought something that was not to our liking. We went back to the store and I mentioned it and without even having to ask he told us immediately to take something else and apologized for us not liking it. They were so interested in having a satisfied customer that there was not even an issue. They have our confidence a continued customer. They are certainly number one in our book. read more

In answer to the question, why not five stars?, one of the butchers gave us an oddly cut sirloin roast. He insisted that the cut he gave us was correct, but we've been serving sirloin roast for 20+ years and know what it is supposed to be. It's the only quirk in the 3 years we've been buying from them. read more

Seems like a good place for cooked foods. Was pointed with their chicken salad. I guess it wasn't their speciality.

Staff is very friendly and accommodating. I've been looking for a place to buy Korean BBQ meats for so long without having to go all the way down south at the Korean market in Lauderhill and I finally found this place. They know how to do LA Kalbi style cut and are willing to figure out new cuts from recipes or instructions. Next time I may ask for even thinner cuts. The shopping center where they are at is a little hard to find so make sure you have their number on hand. Unfortunately, being a specialty store, it was expensive, but it's not like they have much competition around when it comes to hard to find cuts of meat. read more

The best! Quick service and helpful staff. I pick up individual meals that are already cooked and pre-packaged every week for my father. No waiting and delicious, fresh food. read more

This was my 5th year that i get my turkey . The best cooked turkey ever. A little pricey but delishous . Recommend highly.

The number one butcher in Boca. I have been going here since I was a kid and the quality has never changed. The difference in quality from any other store is noticed in the first bite. I stop here every Friday for coming inspiration. read more

Great place to get quality meats and prepared foods. The staff is very friendly & helpful when it comes to suggestions. It is a bit pricey, but the meat is from the midwest & is raised without hormones, so you pay for what you get. read more

I have gone there 3 times. Each time the meals I've bought are tasteless. Last order I've bought was steak and onions. Onions carmelized but steak was like leather and no seasoning. I hardly use salt and I put some on it with pepper and mixed herbs and spices. You've hit 3 strikes I wont return. read more

These guys are awesome! I am in north Idaho. Mom is in Boca Raton. Cost of beef is too cost prohibitive for her to enjoy often. I called The Meating Place and ordered a prime rib, some steaks and some ground beef for her. They delivered it the next day! I wish I could have seen the look on her face when they showed up at her door! Excellent customer service! read more

Great meat, high quality and great service, you can special order anything you can think of. try the chorizo, or any of the sausage and you'll go back for more. read more

Such s great place. A neighborhood "butcher" with great cuts of meats and fish plus gourmet additions. The help is wonderful as well.

My 90 year old father is very limited in his food choices. One of them is burgers. We came to M.E.A.T. one day after I had read the on-line menu and he wanted his usual, a plain, well done burger. Recently he has decided to have his burgers with bacon (this was a guy raised in Kosher households). I read that they smoke their own, which was the enticement to bring him. His biggest complaint about restaurants is that the burgers are 1/2 lb., too much for him to finish. The 5 oz. Nancy Pants was just perfect. He ate it completely. He loved it! I had the Juicy Lucy and loved it! The meat mixture is superb and the bacon, well, nothing short of fantastic! We came back today and he had the same order and loved it again. I had same as him, but with cheese and also loved it! On the way home he said that we will keep that place on our list!! I have told all my friends about M.E.A.T.! People better find out about this eatery, I don't want it to be Boca's best kept secret restaurant!!! The staff is great and the prices are incredibly reasonable! read more
