When you want the Best go to Ver Brugge Meats. After trying ver Brugge meats you wont buy any where else

Great traditional meat shop in a nice part of Oakland. They also sell all kinds of artisanal cheeses and other items thatd be great for a picnic.Id been looking around for those old school type hot dogs that have the snap when you bite into them, but I couldnt find them stocked at any of the major grocery stores. I called Ver Brugge and they told me they stocked them, under the old-fashioned moniker.I got there and found that not only did they sell these hot dogs, but a whole host of other meats that the Safeways and Luckys of our community dont stock. Now I know where Im coming to get my meat.Not only that, but the guys behind the counter were super nice and conversational. Would recommend!

The place for the best cuts and seafood too. Halibut is my favorite and they have great supply and quality here. Counter people real nice folks too!

Ver Brugge is my therapy. I feel so much better after a visit. The customer service is so good. That’s hard to find these days.

Got some Pork Shoulder, Tri-Tip and Chicken Breast to grill! Now working on the Pork Shoulder. I asked the butcher to tie up the pork shoulder into 2 bowls and they always do a good job of it, never falls apart on the grill.

EXCELLENT! The best in the Bay I recommend them. Sausages, veal, turkey, lamb fresh and ready-made cuts for quick use. Salmon, shrimp and delicious mussels to fix a great paella. Wine and cheese to accompany your dinner.

Rockridge is so lucky to have Ver Brugge in our neighborhood. You dont find too many places like this anymore where you can not only find friendly staff who know your name, but also the best quality seafood and meats, including the house made sausages that our guests on our Rockridge Neighborhood Heritage food tour enjoy! Bon appetite!

Love this place. Knowledgeable staff, great selection plus extras like risotto rice, fine cheeses, bread crumbs, marinades...

Ver Brugge has the best selection and quality of any butcher Ive seen in East Bay - I frequent the store to stock up on delicious cuts of meat that I can BBQ, bake or freeze and cook later. It is worth the trip!

Awesome service and quality. New York strip is the best.

What a place. The selection is phenomenal, but the staff is really the best part. Everyone was so friendly, knowledge, and helpful.

Great variety and service theyre hours are NOW open only till 5pm... not 6pm.

Good quality, great service.

Been coming here for 5 years. Friendly and helpful staff. Reasonable prices. Love this place!

If you want to buy your meat from a REAL butcher get yourself down to Ver Brugge - great selection, great service and you can rely on the quality of everything they sell. Best thing about this place is the staff - people who really know their trade and are happy to share their knowledge so you can have a great meal. Pick a number, wait your turn and take in the experience!

Fantastic butcher that has been around for decades. This dying breed of independent butchers reflects the knowledge and experience in a craft. The meats are super fresh and well trimmed. They carry a wide array of cuts, meats (lamb, beef, pork, chicken, turkey, etc.) and youll be just as happy popping in to find a quick protein for dinner as you are selecting a perfect roast for a special occasion.They have great specials listed on paper ads on the windows and you can come here to pick up your Thanksgiving Dietsel turkey (order in advance!). Ver Brugge has a small selection of fresh seafood in the back--look out for dungeness crab in season. They also sell roast Rocky Jr. chickens, and occasionally have yesterdays leftover chickens in the fridge for half off if you are lucky. There is a small cheese/dairy case on the side. Their sausages are indeed great. Service is a dream.

Love this neighborhood gem of meat, fish and poultry market! Always fresh and friendly staff! Hoping to find swordfish today!

Have been going to Ver Brugge for >10 years. Trust them, value them. They are knowledgeable and willing to share. With the produce market and the wine shop on the same block, they complete my Gourmet Trifecta.

Ver Brugge is my go to place for beautiful beef and chicken. The butchers are knowledgeable and very nice (they even cut up my lamb for kabobs) Go off hours when its less crazy.

Love this place! Quality meats. Great service. Nice people. Neighborhood feel.

Terrific old time butcher shop. High quality meat & fish, knowledgeable staff, good prices.
