Even though its a bit of a drive from where we live, the trip is worth it. The quality and variety of their meats is top notch and their staff is friendly and knowledgeable. If theres something you want that they dont have, theyll be more than happy to order it for you. I cannot recommend them enough.

Yesterday was my first time visiting but it certainly wont be the last. The selection was downright amazing, the prices absolutely fair in my opinion, and the quality of the cut of meat I bought was phenomenal. Id prefer to spend a few more bucks somewhere small and local as opposed to the big chains especially in the case of my meat. Impressive cheese selection as well, the Mt.Tam is delicious and Im curious to try the sausages. All in all Im definitely going back!

They do require mask. They are very friendly and very helpful. It is a butcher shop it is a very nice shop for good meat.

I ordered porterhouse steaks but got regular t-bone. My husband didn’t look in the package when picking it up. Don’t be so sneaky Belmont! The steaks will be fine but I wanted porterhouse.

I wish I could review their actual products but, I cant. I cant because this store treats their published business hours as suggestions rather than anything that the customer can actually rely on.Before I went down their shop, on a MONDAY, I checked their hours on Google. They were SUPPOSED to be open but, that day they decided to randomly close.My recommendation would be to frequent a business that will actually be open when they say they will be open instead of wasting your time. I was really excited to try this place as I am a huge fan of good beef. I was trying to support a small business but, as usual, no good deed goes unpunished. Just go to Wegmans. At least they are actually open when they say they are open.

Staff very friendly and helpful, great variety of items. Looking forward to next trip.

This is the owners husband Henry Reidy talking to me like this in regards the their mask policy. Told me to come to the shop so he could educate me........ Stay far away these people are not safe to be around.

Great. Does anyone know William McCormick? He owns an apt house on the corner of Floyd n Belmont. I need his # to rent an apartment from him. Help hmu

I can’t say enough good things about this shop. Such great products and always friendly. Can’t beat it.I personally pick up the Buffalo creek dry aged filets. They are cut to perfection and exactly to order, every time. I really appreciate a good butcher and these folks have it down!

Their Pate is grand! I love it, to say the least! Great place :)

I needed an appropriate Meet for a wild game chili cook off and Belmont Butchery came up when I googled wild game in Richmond. Henry and the gang took care of me, sawing a frozen two pound block of wild boar into quarters. I had never been there before and until I went to pick up my game, Upon arrival it looked like a lovely place to shop. It appears that they have just about anything you could be looking for and if they dont, they could probly get it.

Great selection of quality meats and cheese, the staff were extremely helpful.

Staff is always super helpful and knowledgeable. Great selections!

Knowledgable staff that is adept at making magic happen with just the right products and tips for every occasion. They have never steered me wrong.

Omg. Ive been eating and cooking Thanksgiving turkeys for many decades now, mostly in Philadelphia, a foodie capital. I always try to get the best. I have never ever ever had a more delicious 🦃 than the one i procured this year from BB. Perfect in every way. Everyone i dealt w leading up to and including the pickup was a pro and super friendly. Im thinking theres no way i can wait a year to revisit the experience. I also ordered a quart of fresh turkey stock. Likewise amazing. Worth every penny and them some. So if you want a truly special holiday feast for Christmas, patronize this fabulous establishment! Yum!!!!

Tanyas shop is the carnivores dream. Yep, theyve got the meats. And everything to go with your favorite cut. The helpful and downright doting staff will tell you how to cook your brisket or show you the amazing cast iron to fry that whiskey herb bacon. A great refurbished skillet with a pound of bacon would sure make the best gift of the season!

I have been a patron of Belmont Butchery for almost as long as theyve been open and have never been disappointed! The level of service, care about the products they provide, and excellent knowledge of food is worth the drive across the river every time. Whenever I want to cook a special meal or try something new entirely, I make the journey over the James. Give them a chance, I promise you will understand why a local butcher shop is a special place, and find yourself retuning soon!

Awesome place. I get my dry aged and A5 here

Very professional and friendly, helpful staff. All of the meats look wonderful and fresh. Been here several times for special orders and will definitely be back!!

Everything is always fresh. The lamb bacon is the greatest bacon on the planet. If youre not completely satisfied with this shop than I just dont know what to say. This place is the best. Great job

Oh My! The best ever hand cut ribeyes on the planet!!! 70 dollars fed a family of 4 the best steaks we have ever eaten and thanks for the tips about my new cast iron skillet!

Really excited to have tried this local butcher but was dissapointed with the cut of meat. Bought some pork belly and knew it was going to be fatty but didnt expect to have only gotten 20% meat with the price i paid for.

Always good selection, staff very knowledgeable and friendly. Great meat.

Excellent little butcher shop with all the delicious special cuts/meats so hard to find elsewhere

This is one of the last real butcher shops in the Richmond area. They have talented people behind the counter that provide a wonderful service. They sell a lot of homemade products and top grade meats. They also have a small selection of wines, cheese, and miscellaneous products. I have never been disappointed.

Great fresh meats! 1 steer tracking! Hand crafted sausage and dogs are delicious. Friendly service.

Absolutely amazing customer service. I’ve called in a couple of times and spoken with a few different people. Everyone is so nice and so helpful. They really set the bar for outstanding customer service. It is so refreshing to see a business truly care about their customers. Keep up the great work!

Love, love, love this place. And you can tell they love what they do. Everything I have bought here is the best quality, and the staff is always happy to help. And they have new sausage flavors every week!

OMG this is what heaven must be like. Met the owner and she was extremely knowledgeable and so so nice. This is my new go-to place for all my meat and cheese

Great selection of specialty beef and pork and chartuces. Great customer service.

Two persons at one time only. Great staff and selection!

I really love the lamb merguez. They also have cheeses and other delicacies.

We have been buying here for years and I drive by two other local stores to shop at the best butcher in Richmond. Last week I picked up two grass fed, dry-aged tenderloins and grilled a filet minion feast for friends. They were spectacular.

Awesome local Richmond butcher shop! The staff was super friendly and knowledgeable. And the prices are really reasonable for the quality.

Its a small and very busy little butchery with a good amount of staff to take orders. Ive never had to wait long for my order to be taken and Ive been impressed with the quality of what I purchased. For an early Christmas dinner I bought lamb loin chops and the staff got my large order processed pretty quickly when in all truth I should have ordered in advance. They have a good variety of meat and cuts, and much of it is locally sourced and you can find grass fed and hormone free selections. The prices are more than a grocery store but you get what you pay for, and if you are doing a special dinner then I would highly recommend their level of quality.

Super friendly staff and great selection! The sausages were amazing and talking through the options helped me find a few kinds I may not have otherwise tried. Highly recommend!

Helpful staff. Always willing to make recommendations and are truly friendly and wanting to build community relationships. Wide meat selection and always a great place to try something new

They are always friendly, knowledgeable and passionate to meet your meat needs. Despite a line at times, they always give the time to truly make sure you get everything you want and more. High quality foods and goods!

You want meat? They got it. Worried about picking from all the choices? Dont worry the staff there will answer any questions you have. Dont forget to pick up some delectable cheeses and sauerkraut either.

My wife and I visited the store today for the first time, and we thought the place was great. The staff was helpful and gave us some good advice for trying something new. It’s nice to see a local establishment that provides such quality service. Thanks!

Great meats - if you are looking for something unique, this is the place to go. However, it comes with a price. Do your homework as you can find many of these meats at other stores at a more reasonable price. Twice I have called to get something, and when I go to pick it up I was blown away by the price. I wont let it happen again. I called to see if they had veal shanks on Saturday, which they did. When I went in to pick up the 3 (thats THREE veal shanks - to serve two of us for dinner), the total came to $107. I dont care where they came from or what those animals ate - you cannot tell me that three veal shanks should cost over $100. I wont go again just because it is too pricey.

Belmont Butchery is a amazing butchery that provides quality products. The number one product that Ill go out of my way to buy is their DELICIOUS aged ribeye. 😋

This place is a TOTAL GEM!! I absolutely love going to Belmont Butchery. The people running it are great. They offer a wide variety of 5 STAR products and create a completely unique atmosphere that anyone can enjoy. I dont mind spending the extra dollar because its hands down one of the best products in Richmond. They work with local farmers which is a total win for me and my family, and for the city of Richmond!

Expect great quality when you visit belmont butchery. They always have some excellent, though changing offerings. They sell dry aged beef, as well as exotic offerings such as wild boar and sometimes camel. Around the holidays I even once saw a Wagyu A5 Rib Roast. Youll definitely not find anything like that anywhere else in Richmond.

Tanya and her staff are top notch. Ive gone to them for steaks to whole pigs and everything in between. They are knowledgeable and have great suggestions if you are looking for quick meals at home or a feast for the holidays.

Excellent, Excellent, Excellent! Cant wait to try their homemade headcheese and make ostrich burgers from the grind they happened to have in the freezer!! Thanks Belmont Butchery, youre world-class :)

These guys are great! They are extremely knowledgeable and will accommodate most requests. They have a great variety of offal which I was struggling to find elsewhere. Definitely stop by and get some of the exotic cured bacon.

I drove a long way to come here and bought nothing, primarily due to the crazy high prices. I guess the high end clientele of Carytown carries this place but I refuse to spend this kind of money. Its been a month since Ive been there so I cant remember the exact numbers but it was shocking. I immediately left here and renewed my Costco membership where I can buy USDA prime meats for at least half the price than this butchery. Im not saying they dont have nice stuff, and Im sure the staff is great too. The $60 Costco membership will be made up in the savings of one purchase. Try to avoid this place at lunch, the parking is horrendous.

I come in to get casings to make sausage at home. Almost always leave with additional stuff - and its always great. Staff is knowledgeable and engaging. I like to take my time and listen to them talk with other folks. Never know what interesting ideas or tips come your way.

Theyre the best. Knowledgeable staff and fabulous meats, wines, and specialty foods. We always shop there when were in RVA.

I am transitioning to quality pasture raised meats and fats. Everyone here is so knowledgeable and helpful. I buy everything from bacon to steak. They give great advice on cuts and selection. Its a pleasure to shop at Belmont.

I dont understand all these positive reviews. The customer service was terrible. The owner would rather talk to her friend than help a customer. I was not even acknowledged. Even after patiently waiting I was talked down to about what I wanted to order. It was not sliced the way I needed it to be. (Which Ive been able to do at other butcher shops) The owner even made a racist remark while I was there. I support local businesses whenever I can. However I will not be supporting this one.Ive also heard that she has sued several other local competitors which rubs me the wrong way as well. Build community. Dont tear it down.

Great meats and customer service

Great local butcher with friendly staff and nice selection of gourmet food. The meats are of excellent quality. Ability to obtain some of the rarer cuts.

This is really the only butcher in town, it is expensive but they have good quality products ( wish they would carry more organics). Moving here from north-western VA, we got most of our meats from small stores directly from local farms which were much cheaper than Belmont-- shame ( and strange) its more pricey here in Richmond. Honestly though, as much as their products are good, I dont enjoy going there as everyone is terribly grumpy. My family and I laugh about it - but I dont get it! They will tell you exactly what you need to know about cooking your meal with their products, but dont expect to feel warm and fuzzy from the delivery of their answers!

I go to this butcher shop about twice a month for select cuts. They are a knowledgeable staff and have a nice selection of local meats. Ask them questions and ask for recommendations, and they will educate. On a suggestion, I tried their Bacon Ground Beef (ground beef with bacon pork cuts), and Im hooked. I get this when it is available.

Always helpful and such a great selection.

Very helpful.

I went back for the second time now and got ribeye steaks that were pasture raised about an hour from here. In a rather unscientific study, I cooked them alongside a couple from a supermarket just to see if there was a noticeable difference. Everyone who compared agreed the steaks from Belmont were hands down much better.The staff is so helpful and the meat seems so fresh. I dont think I will buy steaks anywhere else again.

Old school style butchery with friendly and knowledgeable staff! Pretty steep prices, but if you want to explore something different, or if youre looking for some nice charcuterie to compliment a cheese plate, this is the place to go!When youre there:I suggest you ask the staff whats good? when they get to you. Trust these guys, theyll show you some AWESOME food! Seriously, dont go in there with your heart set on anything specific. Youll be pleasantly surprised if you simply talk to the guy behind the counter.

Great selection of high quality meats and friendly, knowledgeable staff.

The finest cuts of meats in town and the most knowledgeable staff to assist with my culinary needs

Excellent butcher shop with many options and great advice. Not only will they help you pick out a great cut of meat theyll give you advice on cooking times.

Thank you for being kind always, and the freshest meat!

Best retail meat in RVA. You get what pay for!

Service was friendly and the quality of the meat was excellent. Might be the best grass-fed beef ive had. Pricing was average.

Amazing customer service and always willing to answer questions.

They have excellent size oxtails at amazing prices!!!!!!! They will have my business one a month.
