It's Beltex's last day. I am truly sad about their departure, what a great loss to the Liberty Wells area and SLC. Beltex carried all sorts of high-quality, local meats you can't find elsewhere. They offered items like bone broth, specialty cheeses, merguez, beautiful cuts of beef / pork / lamb. Sometimes they'd even offer some specialty items during holidays. I loved visiting on the weekends for their Jamaican patties and Cubanos. How am I going to get by without having these weekend specials available anymore? I genuinely don't think I'll ever eat a better Jamaican patty than the ones I devoured from Beltex. Some places are hit or miss, but Beltex never missed. The staff was always so friendly and knowledgeable. Best butcher shop in the whole state. Goodbye, Beltex, you will be missed. I'll never forget you. Hope everyone "got some" while they were around. read more

Yum! A must try if you like a good sandwich. They have a sandwich of the day a few days a week. And boy are they tasty. They make it all in house, including the bread and it is made with love. You can tell so much thought goes into every part. They do sell out sometimes, so get there early!! They have some tables outside for eating, so if it's cold be prepared to take it to go. read more

First time getting a sammy from Beltex and was not disappointed at all! The meats were so flavor packed, the house pickles were the right sweet tart balance with the classic mustard and Swiss combo, and the crispy bread soaked up all the delicious juices to make a beautiful bite of food. The staff is always so friendly and knowledgeable. I was lucky enough to meet the adorable friendly neighboor cat as my lunch date too! Excited to try the spicy Italian sausages I bought as well. A great way to spend a Saturday afternoon. read more

Loved everything about it. Great quality meats and other goods, trying to minimize waste. I picked up a tub of duck fat, we had some of their cured meats, and also had some cubanos! The staff is so friendly and very knowledgeable. We're coming back here often! read more

Very awesome butcher in SLC which is devoid of specialty butcher shops. Theses people do it all. There is a sandwich everyday made with some amazing house made products like house smoked ham, homemade butter, porchetta, house made baloney, and pork roll. The charcuterie section is phenomenal and it's just nice to have some damn variety at a butcher shop. read more

Wow! Get the ramen broth and make a French Onion Soup. It's perfect base. Paired with a red wine it is something you will crave nightly. Oh yeah the Cuban sandwich is boss! read more

I admit, I am a repeat offender and I'll be honest when I say I've been here with my boyfriend for weeks in a row. We love getting the Cubano and fresh baked bread on Saturdays. Sometimes we mix things up and get the meat pie; also a very strong choice. If I could only eat one breakfast item for the rest of my life, it would be their hasbrowns cooked in beef tallow (only available on Sundays). It would be worth having to go to the gym a couple more times a week. It's perfectly golden brown and CRISPY on the outside; warm and moist (I'm so sorry, I couldn't think of a better word). To be frank, we love their bread and have tried bread from many other bakers across the valley, but Beltex carries our absolute favorite in terms of texture and flavor. In terms of their meat, I've only bought their rack of lamb and charcuterie board which were both amazing. We plan to get their pork belly one of these days, everything in the display case always looks so fresh and high quality. We love how this is a whole animal butcher shop; you can tell they truly have a lot of respect and passion for what they do. read more

We were loyal customers at Beltex before the pandemic. We loved their regular selection of fresh high quality butchered meats. Now, we're loyal delivery customers. They have absolutely saved us during this pandemic when you want a fine-dining quality meal but cannot go to a restaurant for obvious reasons and sometimes takeout, can be hit or miss. In addition to delivery, they also now offer curbside pick up and their website (beltexmeats.com) is very easy to navigate. The phone staff is super helpful if you're ever trying to figure out something on the website. Delivery times can be a little confusing as they're still trying to work out the kinks of a contactless experience but overall, I've found the customer service to be amazing and the quality of the meat is still very high. We're pretty happy with the Butcher's Basics package which include some pork chops, chicken, eggs - among other things. We also very much enjoy the special items they do for holidays. They're always adding new things so it's fun to check it out on occasion and see what new things they have! If you don't see any food listed for sale on their website (beltexmeats.com/shop), they might be sold out. You can call to check but I would probably just check back later. Thank you Beltex for saving our meals from monotony! Oh yeah! Reuse your Beltex bag with promo code "bag5" and return your Beltex bag in exchange for a new one when it's time for your pick up or delivery! read more

Great selection and knowledgeable staff. They were great at helping me get something set up for the upcoming holiday.

Beltex Meats is one of those places that have been on my radar for an awfully long time. Someone would mention them, or I'd read an article, or they'd pop up on Yelp...I've heard only fantastic things so I had very high expectations. They use local meats, and tout themselves as whole-animal butchers, two concepts I excitedly support. They are pretty hip. The shop is located in an old home, there's beautiful landscaping out front, and the interior features exposed brick, a small seating area, and even a bookshelf. It looks like they offer a sandwich on Saturdays, and while seating inside is quite limited, if there was a spot open you could nab it for a pretty chill lunch. Obtaining a parking spot will be challenging at busy times. There are some spaces (maybe 6-ish?) out front, but if that area got full you could park along the road elsewhere and do a little walking. Upon entering you'll see two meat cases, one with cured items like salami, pâté, pork rilette, bacon, bacon jam, pancetta, and so forth, and one with fresh cuts, including beef, pork, and chicken. Additionally, they offer local eggs, a few cheeses, various broths, beef tallow, pork lard, and marrow bones. Lastly, they have raw dog food along with various treats for your pup friends. One product I knew I had to try was the beef bacon. The slices were thick cut, large, well-marbled, and a bit fatty (it's bacon after all), but once fried up not too chewy. The flavor was reminiscent of jerky (this is a good thing), and I suppose, both being cured beef products, that's not surprising. Look, everyone loves bacon, and traditional pork will always hold a special place in my heart (insert cholesterol joke here), however if I had to choose one favorite type I might go with beef... I really wanted to try some of the steak, but opted to test out each of the sausage flavors this time. I got the breakfast chub, bacon and bleu cheese, beef bay leaf and garlic, Italian, house brat, and fennel and parmesan coil. The bleu cheese was very noticeable in that particular sausage; the others all had more traditional flavors that didn't stand out quite as distinctly. The house brat was probably my favorite if you forced me to choose. All were delicious, and even though I charred them pretty heavily, still super juicy with snappy casings. Regarding customer service, the first time I visited I felt like the person assisting me was a little condescending. I still gave Beltex five stars and felt they deserved it, but it did bother me a little. I've since returned, however, and ordered from Billy. He is charming and super helpful. When I told him I wanted to buy some pâté, but hadn't tried it before he suggested I sample every type they carry (all are delicious. REALLY delicious). He made great recommendations, and was just very pleasant, friendly, and fun to work with. No matter who helps you they always package everything carefully, and label each item clearly. Prices are higher than you'll pay at a grocery store. OF COURSE. You get what you pay for. Within the past few years I (and I think many others) have altered my eating habits to enjoy meat more sparingly. In the case that you're only consuming meat for a few meals each week this becomes more affordable, and you'll appreciate those times so much more when you are eating high quality cuts. So depending on the way you currently eat meat, purchasing from a butcher shop can be totally do-able. I don't know that I'll return here weekly, but when I'm in the area I'll likely stop by, or when I want something special or just super delicious. read more

I always envisioned this business to be a butcher shop but they also seemingly sell sandwiches. It might be more accurate to call it a sandwich shop that has a limited, almost eclectic butchers shop. It's a distinction that has left me underwhelmed every time that I've been. Now I appreciate that there are a lot of positive comments and reviews for this business but my experience has always been different. I've never been able to get even standard cuts of meat. I'm sure they would accommodate any request but that's hardly convenient and more effort than I can expend. Even still, I tried again to support Beltex today. They wouldn't honor a gift card and while it was a little older, I left the experience feeling poorly a somehow feeling robbed. Just isn't my jam but I wish them well. read more

This place is LEGIT!! First time I came in, I was looking for some good steaks - and damn were they good! Got the dry-aged rib-eye that had the most delicious buttery nutty flavor - hands down, best I've had in SLC. Second time, I came in to pick up some of their pre-marinated pork chops - I got fennel citrus and a chili lime. Both look amazing! Also picked up some house-made soppresata which was rich n tasty - also keep your eyes out for those mini salami sticks bc they are handheld punches of flavor. In addition to all the fabulous meats they have Bread Riot bread (my fav in SLC), ramen broth, and on the weekends breakfast sandos. I was pretty bummed I'd just eaten a stack of pancakes but I did cave in to their golden crunchy hash browns fried in beef tallow. Straight-faced, best hash browns EVER! Anyways, whatchu waiting for?! Go in and grab yo self some meat!! read more

We get our holiday prime rib here every year, It's the best and I look forward to it. The place is clean, and the staff is very nice.

My first experience after finding they existed was a Wagyu New York two inches thick. Cooked sous vide to 121 degrees and seared in the carbon steel frypan. It was the best piece of meat I've ever eaten -- and that's saying a lot. Since then, I've had excellent pork chops, some great sausage, some not so great. The beef pie was bland. The beef bacon is amazing as a change of pace. Having a place to get Guanciale. Perfect. I haven't tried some of their already marinated or brined meats preferring to do it myself, but they look good. You can't go here assuming they have some particular thing. It's a little trip of discovery to see what they have I'm in the mood for. So far we've always come to a consensus together. read more

Beltex is one of Salt Lake City's true epicurean gems!!! This is where you come if you care about flavor, knowledge and local sourcing! The accolades and awards are many. It is the fantastic personalities behind the counter who make every experience memorable and fun! My global travels remind me of this every time I return home. Go wow your tastebuds fellow gourmands read more

love this place. Sunday breakfast sandwich is good. The Saturday Cuban sandwich is good according to my son who ate it before I could get to it. I'm trying to get back on a Saturday to get one. read more

I moved here from Brooklyn a few weeks ago. I try not to be that guy (which is evidence that I am totally that guy), but if there was one thing I was sure I'd never find here, it was a butcher to even approach my place in NYC. They absolutely proved me wrong: - service. right now everything is over the phone, and they are great. they're friendly, they answer your questions, they know their stuff. michelle keeps getting stuck with me, and she's freaking awesome. - service part II. they were super chill about extending their park city delivery over the county line. - quality. the meat is super high quality. what you've heard about the brined chicken is totally true. - quality part II. the hanger steak is awful and no one else should try to order it. i will make the sacrifice and eat it so that no one else has to suffer. seriously, it's tear inducingly good. You just can't go wrong here. They'll be closed for a few weeks this summer bc they've been burning the midnight oil for a while, but make sure to check them out when they're back. And if they're still doing delivery, remember to tip!! read more

I headed over to Beltex the day before Christmas Eve to hopefully grab a prime rib roast last minute like ya do with my fingers crossed and what a great experience. It was definitely busy but they had two tents outside to accommodate for COVID bs(which I really appreciated) and I was helped in a timely manner. Great experience read more

Let me first start out by saying these guys know there meats and take great pride in delivering a great product. They have a ton of experience and will walk you through several bites to ensure the flavors match your dish. You might question why the 3 stars. Friday through Sunday, Beltex offers a limited custom sandwich. My personal favorite is the Cubano on Saturday. It's tasty and one of reasons why I have talked these guys up to friends and family in Salt Lake City and Park City. They make it known they are limited and historically made enough to cover demand through early afternoon. Over the past two weekends, they have run out less than two hours after they open. Come on. I know it's a marketing strategy to get people into the shop. However, if your going to make it this challenging, I am thinking twice about recommending them. Plain and simple, either: charge more, make more or take it off the menu. read more

These guys (and gal) are making Salt Lake City a more delightful city to live in one Cubano... Or merguez sausage.... Or bag of pork rinds... At a time. All of the above are our favorites, in addition to a killer headcheese pate, local brined pork chops, and dog bones... I'm like a kid in a a candy store. They've partnered with some local businesses to also sell amazing farm-fresh eggs and the best baguettes in Salt Lake City. I wouldn't be mad if more places like this started springing up around the neighborhood. Say, a local cheesemonger, a bakery, and a wine store would all be welcome additions. But for now, I'll "settle" for Beltex. Nah, I'm damn excited to have Beltex doing it right. read more

A+ all around. Yes, you're paying premium but you can definitely taste and feel the higher quality. Great experiences getting educated and also being recommended selections. Eggs, cut meats, brined chicken (some of the best I've had), cured meats, sandwiches, pork skin - all worth trying. I always recommend Beltex to family and friends. Thank you for supporting the community during the pandemic and kudos to the team for getting recognized with Good Food Awards - well deserved. read more

This is five stars with a caveat, this place is not cheap, but it can't be. The whole point is to bring process and sustainability to fine meats. We use their meat for our celebration meals and special occasions, and it is defiantly worth the price. We all have forgotten what quality meat tastes like (my apologies to the plant based readers). Frisky Fresh Fish sells their wares there also, so don't miss the black cod. And if you feel like you can't afford that delicious piece of dry aged beef, come in for a Cuban on Saturday. They feed two people and you won't regret it. read more

Super awesome new butcher shop in Salt Lake City. These guys worked with me to get a huge bag of pork bones so I could make tonkotsu ramen broth-- you wouldn't believe how many places in the area met this request with a blank stare.

Beltex Meats - The ramen turned out great-- couldn't have done it without Beltex! - Butcher Near Me - Salt Lake City, Utah

Wow! This is like the butcher shop of your dreams! The shop is so nice with ample room and a comfortable atmosphere and the decor and building is just beautiful on top of everything else. I came in and asked for a Boston Butt (pork shoulder) and here is what normally happens if you ask an employee for something that is "in the back" or not prepared or still in the freezer: "yeah...we don have that right now" or "nothing is ready today"... but not a Beltex! Without hesitation I was told that they would have to prepare a new one as the hogs had just came in that morning. I sat in the comfortable couch as they took a whole pig and butchered my cut right off of it. I also grabbed some beef bacon, and some of their Moab Brewery bratwurst. Haven't yet had the brats, but everything else was so fresh and so good. They are on the pricey side at least as it compares to grocery store butchers, but on the level that they are the price is good. I have bought shoulder and bratwurst at other butchers in the valley that was more expensive, and not as good. read more

Dropped in after a bartender at Undercurrent recommended Beltex. Although I'm not crazy about the name, artisan butchers are all the rave on the East Coast, especially in Brooklyn. Here again, SLC smacks me with its urbane hipness. Meats, pates, terrines are all gourmet hits. Prices are high for here, but downright reasonable in context. For that special occasion, cook up one of their ranch fresh cuts and the quality will be beyond comparison. I love supporting small, independent businesses, and Beltex (the name sounds like a digital phone company) is infinitely cool. read more

Beltex Meats - The Rustique Pate! Delicious - Butcher Near Me - Salt Lake City, Utah

This is a meat lovers paradise. Specializing in high end, high quality meats - Beltex has just about every meat need you may have. Along with the top notch cuts of prime beef and local pork. Beltex offers a wonderful selection of local and house cured charcuterie, fresh sausages, and assorted terrines. One of my favorite items is beef bacon. Rich with beefy flavor and just so ever lightly cured, cooked in the same manor as regular bacon - it is a meaty delight. A balanced blend of meaty, salty, smokey and fatty. Beltex also has speciality items that may be harder to find at your local grocer. Beef tallow, fresh pork lard, and offal cuts are just a few. Be sure to ask the counter what they have "in the back". What makes Beltex 5 stars - the service. Yes, when you walk in you know you're looking at some prime and in many cases pretty expensive meat. But the staff are very knowledgeable. They are happy to give tips on preparation, give samples, and simply talk meat. read more

Beltex Meats - Beef bacon - Butcher Near Me - Salt Lake City, Utah

Good little shop here, local is always awesome. Meat selection looked great and fresh. Not massive amounts, maybe a few good cuts of everything. I stopped in here just for the Cuban sandwiches they were making. Really good Cuban, but it didn't have any pulled pork in it, just meat slices of ham and likely pork slices. Wasn't packed heavily with meat, but the flavors were good! Solid local shop RIGHT next to Liberty Park, so it's nice to grab a handmade sandwich and walk around the park. By the way, the girl working the register was SUPER cool and friendly, she chatted my little kids up and let them play with the fresh pig ears and snouts... it was hysterical! My kids were fascinated with a freshly cut pig snout, awesome. She made the experience really awesome! read more

Beltex does have great meat and the staff are generally very good and helpful. I always feel they have quality meats. I went to Beltex this week to order a small tenderloin roast for Christmas and was beyond shocked to learn it was $50.00/lb. I was speechless. I was told the high price was due to the interest in special cuts for the holidays. My comment is: just because you can charge higher prices does not mean you should and it felt like the price was a reflection of just getting away with it and, of course, the meat. I can afford it but on principle we are not going to pay $50.00/lb. Just does not sit right with me. As a footnote, I lived in Hong Kong for ten years where the closest cattle ranch was in Australia (3500 miles away; most steak was imported from the USA) and I never paid $50.00/lb. Just saying. read more

I must echo the many positive remarks (+ caveats) that I'm seeing in a lot of recent reviews: this is a stellar butcher's shop on par with what I would expect in trendier neighborhood in/around Los Angeles (these are the nice butcher's with which I'm familiar - I see the east coast also claims to have good food, which fact may also be true but I can't vouch for it myself) - the prices are a bit high, but not crazy, and the products are worth it. I rolled in just a few minutes before closing on a weekday - the display cases had loads of options available, and I received excellent service despite the fact they were almost closed. Speaking of service, I greatly appreciated the person helping me for offering a few slices of super fancy (to me) salami. I ended up getting a few spicy italian sausages for grilling, a slightly more extended sample of one of the salamis (sopprasseto), and a tiny salami-to-go. The italian sausages were top notch - I cooked one on coals in a firepit, and it ended up crispy and perfectly well cooked - cooked the second in a skillet for breakfast, and it was quite the satisfying breakfast. The soppresseto was/is packed with salty, delicious flavor. Last and unfortunately least, the little $2.50 snack salami was not amazing - weird flavor/texture, too salty. Can't wait to get back and try more of the cuts, as well as the many other dried meats available. A welcome addition to the burgeoning Liberty Wells neighborhood. #burgeoning lol read more

NSFW: These people love meat. The way they talk, I think they probably cuddle roasts, loins, etc. in their beds. The meat is delectable and I start to have romantic feelings toward the meat when I make eye contact with it. I suppose it's contagious. The Cuban sandwich they make is phenomenal! I've never had one better. The coppa has earned awards and i can see why. I also picked up some Biroldo (Tuscan blood sausage) and it was amazing with some cheese and wine. I will definitely be back to stir my passion of meat read more

For someone with limited knowledge of meat varieties and cuts, the advice from the staff at Beltex is very helpful. They assisted me in selecting the right cut I needed for a dinner idea I had in mind and even gave pointers on how to prepare it. I felt like the prices were reasonable, especially given the high quality of the meat. read more

Spendy but Its worth it! I recently swung in to pick up some meat for a BBQ. I got a couple Steaks that were fantastic. I also picked up some bacon for the wife. She loved it. There really isn't much in my area in terms of butchers. I love this spot. It is a bit more than you'll spend at smiths but then again its way better. I believe most of the meat is locally sourced.
