I stopped by to check it out, but I'll definitely keep coming back for the UCKC Monte Cristo and Lyssa--I hope I spelled that right! Trying to capture how delicious everything was in one review is tough, but I'll give it my best. First off, customer service was outstanding--Lyssa truly knocked it out of the park. She was so delightful, and I couldn't help but laugh when we both got excited about my sandwich choice. These folks really know their stuff. They treat their animals with care and expertise, and it shows. Having been to many fine dining spots, I can honestly say the quality of meat here at The Upper Cut KC surpasses them all. I'm picky about my food and can tell great quality when I see it & taste it. The Upper Cut KC deserves way more than five stars--seriously, I mean it! I also tasted my daughter's brisket sandwich--absolutely tender beyond words. And don't miss their Mac & Cheese; it's worth a standing ovation! Do yourself a favor: just go and experience it! P.S.--The Butcher Shop inside brings back so many nostalgic memories. read more

4 star food, 3 star pricing and wait time. I'm not one to complian about pricing much but $31 for just this sandwich and small side is discouraging when compared to available options in the city. I thought the brisket sandwich was fairly tasty, but it wasn't huge, the onions weren't carmelized they were grilled, and the brisket wasn't smokey. The Mac and cheese was fine and good but not great. If I lived closer and I could get the above with a soda for $20-23, I would give it 4 stars. There's nothing amazing about it to earn 5 stars even if it were priced like I wish. The place wasn't that busy, but with one register running, 4 people in line, and ringing up 2 butcher orders that came in after I was there, it took me about 12 minutes to place the order and another 20 to have my sandwich and side. read more

The Upper Cut KC - Banging Brisket and Mac and cheese side. - Butcher Near Me - Liberty, Missouri

So I've wanting to get out here for so long and finally got here! So I had intentions to seemly get a meal and go but my curiosity took hold of me! I did browse the meal and landed on 8 Plain Ole Wagyu Steak Burger, fries included, sauce on the side, well done. While I waited for my order, I looked over the selections of meat and the manager Dena came out to talk about the steaks, beef and the farm where Akaushi cattle are raised. She was a wealth of information as she went to each freezer to show me their premium meats. She hooked me. I bought Akaushi Meatloaf, Akaushi Ground Prime, Akaushi Filet and Akaushi patty! Dena would my butcher everytime! Now my order to go.. Not what I was expecting. The patty was burnt to a crisp well passed well done. I like the fresh cut fries though. Disappointed about the burger, truly! I've cooked all the Akaushi and it is definitely premium well prepared, quality meat! All delicious!! Worth every dollar paid! read more

What an absolute gem this place is. The food is not cheap but what it is for sure is amazing. You definitely get what you pay for. The Prime Time prime rib sandwich was the best sandwich I've ever eaten in KC and the mac and cheese was out of this world. The place was spotless and customer service was fast and super-friendly. I was also very fortunate to meet the owner and her lovely grandmother. I was very impressed by both of them. Not only by their kindness and the effort they put into making 100% sure I was happy with everything but the fact that they are there every day all day long working alongside their employees overseeing things to ensure that their business is being ran at an optimal level. These people know what they're doing and I will be looking forward to coming back many more times in the future. read more

Honest review. This place is not worth it. 1. Do NOT get the Chiefsteak. My husband orders these everywhere we go and he is an easy to please type of guy so when he looked and me and said this was the worst he has ever had, I had to try it myself because it "looked" great. But omg he was right. I don't know how they managed it, but there was absolutely no flavor whatsoever in the meat no beefy flavor no cheesy flavor no salt no nothing. All you could really taste are the onions and peppers. Hours later he was still talking about his disappointment. 2. The pastrami was OK. The pastrami did have good flavor. However, my sandwich was overwhelmed with the cabbage mixture and there were many parts of the sandwich that did not have any meat on it. In New York City the famous Katz deli you can get a pastrami sandwich loaded for $28 in NYC. Considering this is a $20 sandwich in Liberty MO, there's no reason for them to skimp on the pastrami. 3. I was there with my parents and my husband on a Saturday where they do a buy three sandwiches get a free plain burger, free, which was perfect because that's exactly what my father ordered when I mentioned to the cashier that we wanted to utilize that special, he got really annoyed and said well if you want that, I'm gonna have to re-ring everything back in and I said well yes that's what we want and he acted very annoyed by this. 4. All in all it was $109 even after one sandwich was comped and everything was just "ok" except the cheesesteak which was terrible. Would have rather gone to Arby's read more

Just as good as the videos make it seem! Found this place through their YouTube/Facebook videos, and couldn't resist! Had to get down to Liberty, to give them a try, and SO glad we did! First off, it is NOT your typical restaurant! It is actually a butcher shop that now makes food. Secondly, do not expect fast food! Each order is made fresh, so it takes time! But that leads to the third point, this is among the best quality food out there! Again, the videos didn't lie! I had the loaded fries, (HUGE) and onion rings, which were delicious, as well as way more than enough for at least 2 people (and I'm not a small guy). I had brisket on 1/2 and shrimp on the other 1/2 with queso cheese. Both meats were tender, and flavorful, as was the queso. It is very easy to believe that the fries are fresh cut each day, as they were nearly perfect. My wife had the surf, and turf quesadilla, and the chips and jalapeño popper dip. The quesadilla was equally delicious. The flavors of each item compliments the others perfectly. The popper dip has a pretty strong kick, so she wasn't a fan, but I really enjoyed it. We also got the brisket Rangoon, which I had only 1 issue, and that was that there weren't enough! I could make myself miserable on these things! They were AMAZING! Miranda said that they are new, so it is possible that they will figure out some miracle way to improve lol. The service was top notch, everyone was helpful and super friendly! Had a few nice conversations with different staff members, and they make you feel like family. Pricing was the only area where I was a little skeptical, until we tried the food! The sticker shock was there, but the quality of the food makes it well worth the price! Overall can't wait to go back and try more meals, and see what else they come up with! read more

THIS IS MY FAVORITE SPOT TO EAT IN KC. The portion sizes? HUGE. The menu items? Made from scratch! Their Togo option is always my favorite so I can bring it home and enjoy it with a good show! You can't go wrong with anything here and the staff are always so happy to help with any questions you have and get you the right products. I can't recommend this spot enough read more

I was so excited to try The Upper Cut after seeing them all over Facebook. The meat was tender with great flavor, and the food itself is definitely fresh. However... the prices are no joke. Don't expect to walk in and leave without spending at least $30 for a sandwich, a side, and a drink. The selection is great, the atmosphere is very nice, and the staff was amazing! But even considering the freshness, dear lord--the prices are crazy. Compared to other places like Nadler's, the difference is huge. Great food, just not for anyone timid about high prices. read more

small place if ur sitting to eat and it's cold out dress warm. The food is REALLY GOOD what a burger! WOW the prices aren't bad considering the quality of meats and it comes with a side this is gonna be hard to beat for a burger no frills no waiters it's counter order and they bring it to ur table in a to-go container with plastic silverware. read more

I love The Upper Cut KC! It's very welcoming when you walk in and always very clean. The service is always fabulous and attentive, every employee in here is always so polite, friendly, prompt, and knowledgeable. The cheeses, meat everything is always good! Especially anything spicy in the fridges when you walk in. The board specials are usually pretty awesome deals. read more

Holy cow... the LOBSTER ROLL.... I believe they have this the first week of every month, I would highly recommend it. I always try to hit the cousins main lobster food truck whenever it comes around my neighborhood, but the amount of lobster that you get at uppercut compared to that food truck is night and day. Highly recommend it. read more

I found Upper Cut meat market today. I has been seeing a lot about this place so I set off on an adventure to find it today for lunch. So glad I did. It was worth the drive from Lee's Summit to Liberty to experience the best sandwich I have had in a very long time. I ordered the Prime Time. A guy in line said it was the best one and it didn't disappoint. The meat was very tender and tasty. With the added camelized onions and smoke mushrooms it was delicious. For me it is a two day sandwich that comes with ajus. Will try a different one next time. read more

Fresh food made to order. Sandwiches and portions are huge! Helpful and cheerful employees help you decide how to order, what to order and what their favorites are. I loved the extra little desserts available from bougie desserts in West bottoms available for purchase. Freezers and coolers have ready to take home sides and meat as well. Seating available or you can take your order to go. Half restaurant and half butcher shop. Very clean. read more

The Upper Cut KC - 4. Royal Roast Beef - Butcher Near Me - Liberty, Missouri

See all

As Northlanders, we love to support locally-owned restaurants in our community. We headed to Liberty to make our first visit to the Upper Cut. Upper Cut is a prime butcher shop, serving incredible sandwiches and sides. On our next visit, we got to buy some Akaushi prime beef for home. When we entered the restaurant, they have about six tables for those of us who want to savor the food right from the kitchen. Having checked out their website, this place serves huge, creative meat sandwiches. I narrowed the 10 sandwiches down to three (Royal Roast Beef, Big Chief BLT and The Kelce) and decided to go with the BLT. Although the prices range from $15.99 to $19.99, you are getting a huge sandwich. For many, it might be good for two meals. They have two sizes for the BLT, half a pound of bacon or a full pound. Since I love bacon, I went with the pound. The cashier said I might need to see a cardiologist after eating it. If I could make a suggestion, they should give you two sandwiches when you buy that much bacon. I never thought I could say this, but there was TOO MUCH bacon for one sandwich. But I will say this, the bacon is thick cut, smoky flavored and delish. The restaurant was pretty empty at 5:30pm on Tuesday, so I was surprised it took almost 25 minutes to prepare the sandwiches. I ordered fries with sandwich, but should have ordered their incredible Smoky Bacon Potato Salad. It has received rave reviews. I was surprised the restaurant doesn't cut your massive sandwich in half. The plastic knives and forks they provide aren't up to the challenge of the massive sandwiches. My wife ordered the Aka-strami (Pastrami) and loved it. Can't wait to return! Next time I'm getting The Kelce. read more

Visiting family and my husband got the roast beef sandwich with a side of baked beans. The sandwich was HUGE and delicious. The beans were good, with a lot od meat included. I had the cheesy corn which was surprisingly filling and complexly flavored. VERY GOOD. My parents had the prime rib and brisket sandwiches and each brought half home. The restaurant was very busy, with lots of people picking up turkeys and other meals for Thanksgiving. The butcher area looked delicious. Prices for sandwiches seemed high, but after seeing the size and quality I understand! read more

Great Burgers to take home and cook. Top notch people. Plan on having more and adding to this. Thanks.

My girlfriend and I tried this establishment this evening. We arrived at a little after six in the evening they closed at seven. The menu is very large with lots of options. The staff was extremely friendly everyone from the person who took our order to the people that worked at the deli counter. The whole experience was top-notch. After ordering it took about 20 minutes to get our food and everything arrived hot and very tasty. I had a Wagyu burger and she had a sub sandwich. We tried the potato salad and the baked beans both were excellent. The baked beans were a little spicy, but not overpowering. The buns were had garlic and butter on them and the whole experience was very good. The seating is like eating inside a deli or maybe like a sub shop it's comfortable and you're not so close together that you feel like you're really in a conversation with the table next to you. On all this was a great night out and we would definitely recommend. Them being a deli they have lots of cut of meat that are available and we were thinking that this might be our place where we should get our meat going forward. If you are in the Liberty A area you should definitely look at these people up. it is a great business with great food. read more

The Upper Cut KC - Beginning of wagyu burger and beans - Butcher Near Me - Liberty, Missouri

We tried it yesterday for 1st time. The burger and cheesesteak we ordered was really good. We were happy with our sandwiches. The butcher side was absolutely amazing on what was offered for sale. Prices were very fair with quality offered in line with other establishments that are similar like local pig,etc. back to sandwiches. It is pricey. It is a place we can't afford to go to on regular basis. You are paying for quality. It's the most I have ever spent on a burger and it wasn't the best I have ever had. Met the owner and she is beyond amazing. Would I go back to this place?absolutely ....but it is pricey so I wouldn't be able to go as much as I would like.. read more

I've got a hand it to Upper Cut, their social media team is absolutely killing it. I've lived in Johnson County for the bulk of my life, and I've never been to liberty. But because of the social media of this establishment, I finally decided to plan a day with my fiancé. We went up to Liberty and checked out Shoal Creek living history museum, old downtown liberty, and Belvoir winery, just so that we could try Upper Cut. We got there at about 12:45 on Saturday. It's a really big space with some area to eat in and tons of meat freezers for all your meat-related needs. Their menu is almost overwhelming just because everything looks incredible, but the portions are huge and it's not a cheap place to go for lunch so it's kind of just weighing what you want to eat because ordering for two people even seems extreme just because of the size of the meals. Ultimately we landed on splitting the Meme's million dollar burger with fries and a side of green beans. I will admit it took a really long time for the food to come out, probably half an hour. But it means they're making everything fresh. We were getting a little bit impatient, so don't go when you're absolutely starving, at least at lunch hour, you know maybe go earlier or later. But once the food came out, we were really impressed. It was a massive burger, very easy to share, from a portion perspective. A bit of a mess to share when you cut it apart lol. The burger was insanely delicious. And the fries tasted like they were cooked in beef tallow. I would say the green beans were a weak point, in hindsight, I should've gotten coleslaw. But I've just been trying to balance out my less nutritional dense meals with at least some greens or a vegetable/fruit. But if you're somebody who loves a canned green bean, you would love this, they added some really tasty pieces of beef bacon in there so I guess I would say just know before you order the green beans that they aren't fresh yummy haricot very, they are canned green beans that they doctor up. I don't say this is a criticism necessarily, but I was hoping for a little bit more nutritional option when I ordered that and I didn't really get that. But we loved the food and if we can find more reasons to get to liberty, we would definitely go back. But from where I live in Overland Park, it's at least half an hour to get there, probably closer to 45 minutes. But definitely worth it if you can figure out a day trip to Liberty like we did. read more

I was in town for work and this place was highly recommended to me. The outrageous menu and great reviews meant I had to come check it out. I wanted to try as much as I could, figuring I could save some for dinner. I ordered a couple of sandwiches. I don't know what everyone is talking about, maybe I am just queen big back, but I was able to eat like a sandwich and a half plus the sides with no issue. I did like the sandwiches, I would love to be able to try even more. I was a little disappointed with the sides. The cheesy corn was good, advertised to be spicy but didn't have much of a kick. The lobster mac and cheese that I was very excited for was kind of mid. It was just mac and cheese with cold lobster slapped on top of it. This place is definitely worth a visit! Would definitely come back to try more sandwiches, and would see about bringing a checked bag to bring some goodies back home with me! read more

Excellent food, excellent service. Staff and owner was so sweet and welcoming and informative on my first visit.

I had a question about the tallow cream and Mariah called the vendor in the middle of their rush to ask the questions for me! Amazing customer service truly between all of their staff and customers, and amazing food! read more

The Upper Cut KC - This is the brisket.... So good - Butcher Near Me - Liberty, Missouri

This was my first visit to the new location. They moved a couple of miles south to the corner of 152 and 291 and have not only expanded the size of the place by adding a large seating area, but greatly expanded their menu to order freshly prepared food for carry-out and dine-in. It was a tough decision narrowing down from their 15 sandwich options. I chose the Bangin Brisket - Akaushi beef slow smoked for 16 hours, cubed, sauced and heaped high and overflowing a toasted bun. After one bite, I audibly dropped the f-bomb - in a positive way. Not just the best brisket, but maybe the best meat I've ever had. The premium meat is straight from the butcher case and straight from the farm- simply an amazing flavor that melted in my mouth after every slow bite and chew. The $20 sandwich may seem pricey, but it was worth every single cent. The "pork shots" were recommended as my side and I'm glad they were. Two pork meatballs wrapped in bacon and a bit of cream cheese then fried - decadently delicious also. I'm already planning on returning next weekend to purchase some Xmas gifts from the butcher case and sampling another sandwich from the fresh food counter. read more

We ate lunch here today. It was our first time at The Upper Cut. Let me start by saying we were greeted by a super friendly employee who took the time to explain the menu and answer all of our questions. Once our food arrived, I knew this place was different... Quality and flavor was off the charts! Everything was made to perfection and with pride. It was such a nice atmosphere and I plan on returning many more times for the best quality food in the Northland! read more

Our first time dining here. Overall the place looked clean and well kept. Service was top notch. The food, sadly, wasn't what I hoped for. I have seen many say the food here is the best they've had but that wasn't our experience. The food was heavily seasoned/salty. The fries were soggy and VERY salty and we couldn't eat them. I got the Prime Time sandwich. Overall pretty good but way too much sandwich for me. My wife got the Memes Dollar Burger and it was dry and over peppered. Not a "bad" place to eat but we won't be back. Just way too salty and for the price it just isn't THAT good. They charged $3 for a bottle of water and charged us .50 for a ketchup packet lol Insane. read more

After shoveling snow we treated ourselves to lunch at the Upper Cut. (East in the center of Walgreens) It was our first visit since their move. We chose the Smoked Turkey Sammy. The gentleman said the Smoked Turkey was their best seller. No doubt why!! We cut one 1/2 and still took a piece home. It was excellent! Highly recommend! There are several other sandwiches we are going to try. We also enjoyed the potato salad. read more

Disappointed. I have wanted to try the lobster roll that goes on special once a month. I expected either a Maine version or Connecticut version. Toasty bread and buttery lobster. After waiting over an hour I got something like a lobster salad on a sub roll. It is absolutely nothing like the pictures that drew us here. They asked if I wanted lettuce and tomato. I said no but it was on there. As a special bonus the jalapeno poppers were ice cold and I mean cold. You get two. Seriously? Maybe the other food is better but I will never know. Promise! read more

I called this restaurant to place a to-go order and let them know it would be tax exempt, as I work for a state entity that is required to make work-related purchases without tax. The employee immediately asked if I was planning to resell what I was buying (which was just one meal) and when I said no, she told me it wasn't possible for me to be tax exempt. I explained that as a state employee, I am required to make authorized work purchases tax exempt and have done so for years without issue. Rather than trying to understand, she became very technical and argumentative, insisting that what I was describing was "insane" and that I needed to tell my employer that we were "robbing the state of taxes." To be told this when I literally work for the state and using a state purchasing card, is actually baffling. I was looking forward to trying this restaurant, but this experience was incredibly disappointing and unprofessional. I understand if you don't know how to process a tax exemption but to act as if my employer or myself was trying to commit fraud was uncalled for. In nearly five years of being a state employee and utilizing a state purchasing card, I've never experienced anything like this. - According to the Missouri Office of Administration's Purchasing Card Policy & Procedure Manual, "state agencies are exempt from paying Missouri state sales tax under Section 144.030.1 RSMo. The tax exemption number is printed on the back of the purchasing card. Cardholders are responsible for ensuring that Missouri state sales tax is not included in each charge." read more

Food was great and service was good as well. I did not like the extra charges they nickel and dime you with. 3% charge on credit card charges. 3% charge for a food preparation charge. 50 cents for a ketchup packet. These did not set well with me. I don't mind paying higher prices for good quality but sometimes the business has to eat some of these costs. I felt like I was punched in the face seeing these charges on my receipt. read more

We decided to venture North to check out The Upper Cut KC and to grab something to throw on the grill. The store is pretty small and very busy but they're moving to a larger location soon. There's fresh meats, frozen meats that you can grab, a variety of sides and desserts, and even sauces, spices, and pickled things. We opted for bacon wrapped pork ribeyes. We grilled them and served it with a peach blueberry chutney that was made with fresh fruit from the orchard. It was delicious. The cut was super large and was easily made into two meals. We also ordered a couple of sandwiches for lunch. They came with sides too. My boyfriend went with the #1 Aka-Strami: akaushi pastrami, Swiss, sauerkraut, house made 1000 island dressing on rye. For his side, potato salad. I didn't try either because I'm not a fan of Rubens or potato salad. He enjoyed it and it was large enough that he had two meals. I went with the #7 The Kelce: smoked ham, bacon, slow roasted pork, Swiss, pickles, sweet and spicy mustard on ciabatta. My side was elotes. The sandwich was ginormous and it ended up being two meals. It was also very messy but overall it was good. I wasn't expecting the pork to be a bbq style but it may have been the mustard. It was a very Carolina bbq style Cuban. They put a ton of pickles on it which I was a fan of. The elotes were probably my favorite thing that we ordered for lunch. The corn was super fresh and it was perfectly smoky, salty, and zesty. I would definitely recommend it as a side. Next time I would probably go with a different sandwich and if you call in before it will drastically reduce your wait time. They are pretty busy so if you order there, you'll probably be waiting minute. If you're in a hurry call ahead. You can't order online but maybe in the future they'll get that set up. read more

Steals menu photos from other businesses for their advertising. Staff was friendly but the "business" is a deceitful joke.

This was my first time having The Upper Cut KC and I had the Butchers Special - Street Tacos with the House Made Chips and Dip for my side. It was SO good, especially for having it delivered. The chips look a little over done, but they didn't taste that way. The dip was some kind of smoky queso, and it was great. It was a little cold by the time I got it, but that was to be expected with delivery. The tacos were also AMAZING. The steak is phenomenal and red onions, cheese and a Chipotle sauce were also on the tacos. SO GOOD. I can't wait to try something else next time! I will be back! read more

I walked in and walked out! I went for the lobster roll lunch special. I can't rette exact price but it was over $30 for a lunch sandwich! All their prices were crazy high. I didn't try it, but no deli sandwich is worth that much in my opinion. It did appear that they may be huge in size. Perhaps make a "normal" size sandwich for a price that is affordable. read more
