The Whole Ox - It was a burger but I couldn't stop eating it and forgot to take a picture. Mind you I never finished a burger. - Butcher Near Me - Marshall, Virginia

This is my favorite place in Marshall and I go here consistently a few times a month. Awesome spot- the burgers are absolutely incredible and the people there are really nice. I am a big fan of high quality meat and produce from local farmers so it's fantastic that we have all of this available locally at such a cool shop. However, I'd love to see everyday cuts of meat like brisket , Denver steak, and skirt steak show up more regularly and the cheese selection seems focused toward a specific taste rather than a selection with a broad appeal. I also wish they were open on Sundays! read more

This is a very cute place that serves amazing yummy food along with fresh produce and a not bad wine list. The staff is super duper nice and helpful. The place gives off fun and comfy vibes. This is an excellent spot for lunch and we even took some butchered items to eat later. Soooo soooo good. This is a must if you're in the area. read more

The Whole Ox is a one-stop-shop for food and wine. Yes it's a butcher shop, but more importantly to me, it has its own in-house restaurant with some fantastic food. They serve beer on top as well. If that's not enough, you can pick up baguettes, cheese, and an assortment of wine (including local favorites such as Linden and Glen Manor). I'm not talking low-end stuff; more like well selected champagne and high-end dairy products. They do have tables for sit-down service, but it's a small building so it can get crowded. Try ordering in advance instead; you won't be disappointed. read more

Marshall is a very small town with several good food spots and cutesy shops. The Whole Ox is a pretty upper class butcher shop with prices to match, lots of pre-made food and outrageously priced breads, candy etc. , and a very tiny restaurant (like 3 tables). My son and I had burgers and fries. Excellent, tasty burgers and fries for sure, but I don't know if I would go out of my way to try again. Service was professional and polite. Ambiance was hipster butcher:) read more

My go to every chance I get. Great service, great ambiance, and just a great experience. Bet you can tell I like it a lot. read more

While I haven't shopped the butcher, the hot food was delicious. We had some visitors and decided to give this a try. Luckily it was a quiet day since there's not a lot of seating. My wife and I both went with The Big Ox and split an order of fries. It's a quality burger and quite filling. Though the menu isn't that large, I'm trying to figure out how to decide on ordering something other than a burger! read more

What a cool place! It's a combination of a butcher, deli, convenience store, and mini restaurant. We were hungry, so we decided to order a few burgers and give them a try. And the expectations were pretty high in that you KNOW that the meat for your burger was as fresh as could be. After we placed our order, we were fortunate to find a seat as there were only a few tables available for their patrons (one of a few shortcomings). Also, while we were waiting, we noticed that there was no heat in the store on what was a cold day (which was another shortcoming). So we left our jackets on and patiently waited. Shortly, the burgers arrived and we took our first bite. Wow! It was amazing! The freshness of the beef really came through. And it was cooked to perfection. I can't wait to come back and sample other items! read more

Love this local gem amazing made to order food- best burger in NOVA. The supplies and special items are so cool. We come here for meat for all special occasions the service is amazing and atmosphere perfect local businesses like this make Marshall special small seating area inside and outside and they stay busy but well worth the stop read more

The yardbird sandwich was so delicious! Food came out quickly and I couldn't wait to dig in. Great staff and a great environment all around.

Holy. Smokes... the burgers and fries here are DIVINE. I rarely leave a 5 star, but this place is AMAZING. I got their ox burger and it was fabulous. Ive traveled all over the US and destinations abroad. Who knew the best burger I'd ever have was a few miles up the road in Marshall, Va? My only complaint: a bit pricey. That said, it's worth it. My son, who is a picky eater, agrees with me that this place is 5 star. read more

The seating is limited due to it being a butcher shop. They have a variety of items for sale. The burgers were spectacular! Juicy and perfectly cooked! The fries with the garlic aioli were perfection. Service was fast, staff is friendly and welcoming. read more

The Whole Ox - The classic and the bull burger and fries with garlic aioli - Butcher Near Me - Marshall, Virginia

The Whole Ox is a victim of its own success. Saturday is the only day I can get there of course and, since it is not open on Sunday, every Saturday is packed to the max! Very crowded!!! Uncomfortably crowded!!! Now that would be okay if you were only doing some shopping and then taking home your purchases. But The Whole Ox also makes food for consumption on premises. Sandwiches, soups, salads, etc. The problem? There are only 5 or 6 tables at most. They are always crowded! People with sandwiches stand around, waiting for someone at the tables to leave. That only makes things worse! Now on to the good stuff! The food!!! I had a pulled pork sandwich that was to die for. The meat was perfect! Big chunks of juicy, tasty pork, some with seared edges. The sauce was sweet and complex - the cole slaw - crunchy and tangy! All together, a perfect pairing. My spouse got the fried chicken sandwich. Now, the breading did not stay on the chicken but the chicken was perfectly cooked otherwise. Hot, juicy and flavorful! The house made ranch dressing was likewise beautiful!!! We have also bought meat from The Whole Ox before and have never been disappointed. The service is somewhat lacking but I think that is also a result of the over-crowding of this business. Go to The Whole Ox - go hungry - you will love the food! But maybe take a day off work and go on a weekday!!1 read more

The absolute best burgers, hands down! I highly suggest getting the duck egg on your burger, cuz it's so amazing!

I was curious about this place because of its popular burgers, so I decided to check it out. First of all, it's not just a regular restaurant; it's more than that. It's a butcher shop and a mini-market that offers produce, a variety of wines and beers, cheese, and prepared foods, all in one place. I had The Big Ox, which was delicious and consisted of two freshly made beef patties. It was so big that I could not finish it. And of course, I had to try the Hand Cut Fries. Not only did they look delicious, but they were also delightfully crispy and perfectly cooked and seasoned--the best fries I have ever had. read more

This was an unexpected and welcomed stop during an after lunch stroll on Main Street. Curious to see what a local butcher shop was offering and drawn by how busy it was at 3 in the afternoon on a Saturday, our group decided to check out The Whole Ox. Even though we had already eaten lunch, we purchased a bison hotdog and the yardbird. GET THR YARDBIRD. It's a chicken sandwich but the tender was cooked beautifully. Flavors were all there and writing this review makes me crave more. The sandwich had a thick and juicy cut of chicken that was just right: it didn't ooze all over the place and it definitely was not dry. The bison hot dog was good as well but the toppings seemed to distract away from the meat. In the freezer section we picked up a container of mushroom truffle butter and homemade walnut arugula pesto to help with the potatoes and roasted vegetables we were going to cook for dinner. The butter was not too overpowering and gave the roasted potatoes a nice flair but the real star was the pesto. We were not expecting the pesto to really bring out the flavors of roasted brussel sprouts and asparagus but it elevated them to a new level. Too bad the place isn't open on Sunday because our group would've stopped to buy more goods. read more

We found this place while driving through town and had to stop! It's a small butcher shop with a great wine selection and delicious little restaurant. We arrived right as the place opened and it was pretty packed inside. The store has anything you need when it comes to cooking a flavorful meal (spices, oils, etc.) The menu is small, but the food definitely is not! Sandwiches/burgers are a decent helping, so you won't be leaving hungry. You can order from the menu at the deli counter in the back and they have a small seating area on the side to dine in. I ended up ordering the chicken salad and caprese salad, both were so fresh and full of flavor. They start a tab when you order, because you are pretty much guaranteed to add something additional to your check before you leave. We will definitely return to purchase food to take home next time. read more

Stopped by this butcher shop for lunch on our way to the winery. It is a small shop with some outdoor and minimal indoor seating. You can come here to buy meats and other items, but they also have a small food menu with draft beers. Got their big ox burger and yardbird fried chicken sandwich and a small fries with chipotle mayo sauce. The burger was amazing and seasoned so well! Their fries were fresh cut potatoes and came right out of the oven. You can pick a dipping sauce. I really enjoyed their yardbird chicken..very meaty! Their buns were light and soft. We really w enjoyed their food and hope to be back to purchase some meats. Parking was easy street parking..what a cute quaint neighborhood! read more

This must be a secret we walked in on. Super-friendly staff with awesome food. Thank You. The family got the 2 Yardbirds and the Bison Burger special and fries. The Yardbirds were huge, juicy, with the perfect crunch of fried chicken. It is served with buttermilk ranch, lettuce, and pickle. You can add bacon and/or blue cheese crumbles. Delish The Bison Burger (with pink) was a slam dunk on flavor. It is served with caramelized onions, blue cheese crumbles, and garlic aioli. Amazing The fries were perfectly seasoned. Option of sauces were phenomenal, we got traditional ketchup and garlic aioli. On the way out the door we selected items for dinner for the week. English bangers, Cod, and Red Curry Chicken Soup. A GEM read more

As many have said, this isn't just a restaurant but a butcher shop, a wine store, and the best burgers in the area as far as I'm concerned. Friendly staff, great prices, and an excellent array of food to choose from off the menu. The burgers are truly second to none and the fries are to die for as they as hand cut and cooked to a crispy perfection. read more

I bit into the Boardwalk Smash and said, "'oh. my. God, this is the best burger I've ever had." I'm serious, and, I love smashburgers, so that is some high praise from a self ranked connoisseur. I wish (and highly recommend) that a smash burger was a forever item menu. (If Whole Ox is listening... PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE!!!). Anyway, everyone here is absolutely wonderful and the shop if packed with fun/local cheese and pantry items. A MUST STOP! read more

Tried their burgers for the first time tonight and they definitely live up to the hype!!! The fries were also amazing, I chose the chipotle sauce. YUM!!!! Walked inside and easily ordered from the butcher counter. You then pay by the front door. Easy!! You can browse around their store, good selection of cheese, crackers, dried pasta, olive oils. They also have some wine, beer and spirits. Overall nice vibe inside! Some tables are inside if you choose to dine in but takeaway is just as easy! Nice staff. Try it out if you're in Marshall!!! read more

Everything I've ever had here is amazing! The service is great and it's comfortable and super clean!

What a gem this is. The Yardbird is the best chicken sandwich my wife and I have ever tasted, hands down. Their burgers are grilled in clarified butter...Yeah. Worth it. Took a couple soups to try with their focaccia. Incredible as well. Get the beef bourgenon. You'll be plenty happy and full for days. read more

Love the Whole Ox! Chicken Sandwich with fries is my takeaway favorite. Great selection of gourmet ingredients that can't be found nearby. The butcher counter is fantastic and cuts can be ordered in advance. I get my tri-tip here all the time. Frozen sauces and soups are very tasty! Highly recommend the bolognese and tomato w/ basil sauces. Waitstaff are friendly and always helpful. there is some seating to dine in if you so desire. Definitely stop by if you're in the area. read more

Incredible! The range of ingredients available to you as a home cook are mind boggling. Amanda is a wonderful host and business owner. Went to celebrate my wife's birthday and she treated my wife like an absolute celebrity. If every butcher/chef behaved like this restaurant's would be so crowded it would be a months long wait. Thank TWOx and Amanda. Your team and food are incredible! read more

Just picked up my Turkey for thanksgiving. As usual, highly efficient and helpful. Lots of extras to tempt while waiting to pay. Will be back again read more

Been meaning to go here for 10 years. Finally stopped today. It WILL be the first of many visits. Great butcher shop/restaurant/food emporium that is truly cooler than the other side of the pillow. My main focus today was charcuterie. BINGO! Our area has become held hostage by the friggin boars head brand. Garbage! Finally a place I can visit that has multiple artisanal cured meats. My new favorite was one flavored with real spruce and beer. Unbelievable. Great selection of area cheeses as well. Entire wall of refrigerator/freezers with house made soups, sauces etc. AND, how can you go wrong with a place that has steak aging in their own aging cooler behind the register. Yes, a bought a beautiful bone in ribeye. Tomorrows dinner. Can't wait to go back to try the restaurant menu. I have been told their burgers are without peer. On the main drag in Marshall (Rt-55) or just go west on 66 it's 15 minutes from Haymarket. I will be a regular here. read more

Greatest burgers, fresh local meats & vegetables. Love the Yardbird sandwich! Best beef in miles!

A friend of mine suggested this place for lunch when we were on our way to Luray Caverns. I would have never found it because it's located in the tiniest of towns. Unfortunately we came on a Sunday right before a holiday so they didn't have their full menu. I was dying to try their chicken sandwich and fries, which I've heard are amazing. With that being said, we went with the "brunch burgers" I guess these were a special menu item and are not always featured. The burger had a fried egg and bacon, we weren't that thrilled when we ordered because we didn't think there was anything that special about it but boy we were wrong! Hands down one of the best burgers we have ever had. Meat was so fresh and tasty and it was cooked to perfection!! We bought some pre-packaged sausages and asked the chef to cook them for us and he was nice to do so. Overall we had a great meal even though it wasn't the meal we were originally planing for! I did learn must people buy the meats for takeout, not as many people dine in, and honestly the seating area is very small and in a weird location. We will come back to try the chicken burger!! read more

They have an amazing selection of meats, soups, sandwiches, drinks. All local, all amazing. If you're traveling by Marshall, stop here, if you're in Marshall you must come here. Even if you live in northern Virginia and have heard about how wonderful this bucolic setting is. It's a must. read more

I like to support local businesses but this one misses the mark. First the price point is foolishness. $25 for burger and fries. Must be following the Five Guys model. I appreciate they are trying to serve grass fed meats and the man running the counter is usually kind. I waited 20 minutes the other day after I paid because no one gave me my food after paying. Just sat on the counter in the back. I also asked for no pink and was given a slab of basically raw ground beef. read more

3 1/2 stars..came in and waited while 3-4 people stood around looking at each other...no other customers in the store...after a few minutes employee finally approached us...bought hanger steak and a couple of "homemade" lamb sausages. I asked what was in the sausage....no one knew...one of the employees went to the back and began looking for the ingredients...after several minutes I told them forget it, paid and left. read more

Amanda created the most fabulous charcuterie platter for the gold cup for me and it was a big hit. She even included and cooked the lamb chops I requested to be added to platter.
