If you're looking for an elevated take on classic comfort food, Bolyards Meat & Provisions is an absolute must-visit. From the moment you walk in, the warm, welcoming vibe makes you feel right at home. Every bite showcases incredible attention to quality--whether it's their perfectly smoked meats, juicy burgers, or decadent sides. Service was friendly and attentive, making the experience feel personal and unhurried. Portions are generous, so you leave completely satisfied but still dreaming about your next visit. Pair your meal with a cider or one of their fountain drinks, and it becomes an event rather than just dinner. Honestly, Bolyards balances casual comfort with chef-level execution--10/10 would recommend to anyone who loves bold, hearty flavors. read more

Just go by direct from the farmers, the markup isn't worth it here anymore. As others have mentioned, they do over salt their prepared food fairly often but that's just the chef's palate. Everything's high-quality and poor value after accounting for the price. I stopped in to pick up a pork loin because I was around the corner, looking for ~3-4lbs of meat. They only had a 1 1/2 pound in the case (order taker weighed it to confirm before going to the back, which should've been my first warning) so I asked if they had any larger ones. They were nice enough to check and offer to cut one. That's where things went downhill. After waiting 5 or 10 minutes, my order taker came back out to ask how I wanted it prepped (bone or boneless, skin on or off). I said skin off and ambivalent on the bones. This was my mistake, leaving my fate to the hands of someone profit motivated. I walked out with just about a 3 pound bone in roast, which is maybe half a pound more meat than the one and a half pound I turned down - not enough for my guests and I. Had I gotten a roast closer to 4lbs, I would've been unhappy with the price but not enough to write a review. Additionally, they only charged a dollar less for bone in. At $15/lb, I effectively paid the price of their beef for the meat after accounting for the bone. I felt tricked. In hindsight, I should've just turned it down when I saw the price, but I was a bit too shocked to say anything. So I paid my bill and swore that I wouldn't be coming back for anything but (maybe) sausage or a snack again. read more

I've been going here on and off for over a decade but won't be back for a long time. It was convenient since I worked nearby. The service is almost never friendly. It's like they are doing you a favor by selling you overpriced meats/sandwiches. This might have worked when the economy was booming, but I can't imagine them surviving over the next few years. If look around the place, most of the workers look miserable and kind of angry. The vibe is not good despite all of the hip subway tile. The sandwiches tend to be overly salty and the meats behind the counter are decent but you can do better both in price and quality at other places where they are actually welcoming. I hope they make some changes. I hate to see a local business fail for easily controllable reasons. read more

Bolyard's is a cute little butcher shop located in the heart of Maplewood. I ordered online and picked up to-go once I got there. The Tom Tom sandwich was just okay, nothing spectacular. I probably wouldn't order it again, but if you're thinking about trying it I'd recommend adding bacon to make it less bland. But the beef tallow fries were 11/10!!! At first I thought no way are these $8 fries going to be that good but they really were spectacular. The house made ketchup with them too made it really unique!‍ I also ordered some breakfast sausage to make with biscuits and gravy at home since the meats case was filed with a great selection. A plus is they also have a parking lot with dedicated spots too if you wanted to dine-in. read more

Very tasty food all around. The dip was delish, though light on meat considering the price. That said you can tell all the ingredients are very high quality so I recognize that comes at a cost. Bread on the sandwich was so fresh and soft with a nice toasted crisp for soaking up the jus. Salad was fresh and dressing was tasty. No frills service - order at the counter and they bring it to the table but all we interacted with were very pleasant. Ambiance is quiet with some tables and window seating. read more

I have heard all kinds of wonderful things about this place on Facebook. We decided to give it a try. I ordered the PULLED BEEF NACHOS for $14.00 corn tortilla chips - pulled beef - cheese sauce -candied jalapeno - tomatoes - crème fraiche. These were good, but I would probably opt to try one of the sandwiches if I were to come back again. They have a few tables and seating at a bar height area inside and then they have a few tables outside. You order up at the counter and they bring you your food. read more

I found out about Bolyard's a few months ago and have been a huge fan of their butcher shop ever since! They carry Buttonwood farms chicken, which is one of my favorite local farms in the area for chicken and eggs! The service is friendly and helpful. The ambiance is cool since they also have a lunch menu so they have a nice seating area. I also love that they make their own stock - I have purchased and used the chicken and beef stock (both were great!). They also carry pork stock but I haven't tried it yet, I'm sure it's great too! Overall, a great spot for fresh and local meats all year round! read more

Anyone who knows me has heard me rave about Bolyard's. I set a goal to try 25 new-to-me STL restaurants in 2025 and ended up hitting 26. Out of all of the restaurants I visited, Bolyard still stands out as one of my absolute favorites. When my family and I went, we each ordered different entrées and shared the sides. I had the French dip and truly can't rave about it enough, but the real showstoppers were the sides. The cauliflower, potato salad, and fries were all incredible, I honestly couldn't pick a favorite. I also love that they have an Excel soda fountain and appreciate the overall ambience, even if it means waiting a few extra minutes for a seat on a busy day. Overall, it's such a great experience with amazing food, friendly staff, and top-tier meat options at the butcher counter. read more

Found this little gem while on a trek for a cool lunch place in Maplewood. Wide open and airy vibe. Order at the counter and obtain a number type of joint. Perfect set up for lunch . The story is all meat is sourced from a farm in Troy, Mo. Grass fed beef and zero hormones, plus less pharmaceuticals in general. Love that!!! Farm to table...smash burgers, Rueben's, beef tallow fries, pork rinds and more...extremely fresh, organic and full of awesomeness. Need to make another visit and try the French dip...looked delicious. Also of note, it's a true butcher as well and had on display, bacon, steak, pork chops, chorizo, other fantastic culinary meat finds...so that appears an additional opportunity worth trying. I know we will be back, as early as next week and encourage anyone who reads this to do the same!! read more

Headed to Maplewood for one of my favorite brunch spots. Scan the QR Code for the Kitchen menu of the Brunch menu. Order at the counter and take your number to your table or counter spot. Staff is always friendly and efficient but take their time when customers have questions about the butcher side of things. Food comes out in a timely manner so you can dig in! Another delicious brunch! Another order of the Burnt Ends Breakfast. Meaty chunks of brisket, tallow fried potatoes, a sunny egg, and lots of onions. Lots of smokey flavor with just enough fat for extra delicious flavor. The potatoes are plentiful with a little crisp and lots of creamy inside. The sunny egg on top provides a great burst of yolk. I can never resist a lard biscuit with seasonal jam and today I forgot to ask but it was reminiscent of apply butter with some cinnamon. So good! I decided I needed to have biscuits on the sort of fly - so I grabbed a six pack of frozen to take home. They are ready in 25 minutes from frozen to oven. I also added a White Bean and Ham soup for tomorrow's lunch and a couple of Rib bones for the dogs. Still a one stop shop! I forgot to grab a tub of lard, I will have to get it the next time. read more

The ONLY place I get my meat! It's crazy how much of a difference you can tell between store bought beef and beef from this store! So much more flavorful and even the texture is different. Once you start getting your meat from here, you can't stop! I usually get 4-5 pounds of beef, their pork bacon, and eggs to last me a couple weeks! I've also tried their bratwursts, hot dogs, chicken breast, beef pastrami, primal blend, and brisket. All were freaking amazing. Sometimes I'll grab a burger and fries when I stop in, too! :) I look forward to trying new things here and will forever be a customer at Bolyard's. read more

I heard people saying good things about Bolyard's, so we gave it a try. Cuban sandwiches are one of my favorites so I had to order that. Sandwiches come with their house made pork rinds, but I'm not a fan of pork rinds , so we asked if we could swap them for something else. We were told that we could get any of the sides instead. I heard people raving about their fries, so we ordered them. I expected an up-charge, but it turns out that we were charged the full price ($7.25) and simply didn't get the pork rinds at all. I was disappointed with the Cubano. It didn't have a lot of flavor. I couldn't really taste the pickles or mustard, and there was a lot less meat than I expected from a meat market and the meat flavor was overwhelmed. The fries were good, but the size was deceiving. They came in a large pitcher (see picture), but when you poured them out, it was less than half that size (the fries were suspended on a napkin). I may come back and try a burger. I want to give them a fair chance. read more

Nice butcher shop in the heart of Maplewood. They have some beautiful cuts of meats at fairly decent prices. All of their meats are cut in house. They also serve hot food and you are able to sit inside or take it to go. I grabbed me a pork Panini and a side of fries. The sandwich was hot and fresh, cooked to order. The pork was tender, seasoned well, the sauce that was on the sandwich was flavorful. The fries were crunchy. I wasn't a fan of the garlic aioli dipping sauce as it didn't really have a lot of flavor. There is street parking and a small parking lot next to the building should you choose to park there. Inside there are a few tables and counter top seating. There is a viewing window so you can watch the butchers while they are hard at work. The staff were friendly and took my order right away. No complaints! I will definitely be back to purchase some smoked meats. read more

I was in town and caught a few seconds of a random newscast where it was mentioned that this place was ranked among the best butcher shops in the country. Naturally, I had to try it. I can say with confidence that after doing so, that you should try it as well and that you will not be disappointed. It sits in a quaint, walkable area in the city surrounded by other shops and restaurants so it's not hard to find and the area itself is really pleasant. The shop is super clean with a modern/industrial vibe and has seating both inside and outside for those days when the weather is great or you're feeling a bit of fresh air. Order at the counter, take a number, fill your beverage and they'll bring your meal to your table. Now this place is more than just a restaurant. It's also a full service butcher. They source their meats from small (often local) farms and process them on site. You can watch the actual butchering through a large window that faces the dining area and see the magic unfold for yourself. With all that said, you can of course choose from a variety of incredible looking meats that are available to take home and cook for yourself. A variety of sausages from Irish bangers to brats, thick sliced bacon, steaks of every kind, and all those fancy little meats that you might normally find on a high-end charcuterie board. If you love and understand meat, you will be impressed if not thrilled by their selection. (I saw a slab of pancetta that I wanted to take a bite out of right then and there) Really great stuff. Now on to the dine-in menu. I ordered the burnt end breakfast and the lard biscuit from their brunch menu, and my friends both had smash burgers. The prices and portions were reasonable given the quality, (and given the portion size of that burnt end breakfast). The burgers were fully smashed and beautifully crisp, served with light, airy buns that stood up to the burger and held together well without adding too much bulk. Excellent patties, excellent bread...the foundation for any good burger. 10 out of 10. The breakfast bowl...I did not expect the portion to be so large. A generous amount of large burnt end chunks, lots of tallow-fried potatoes, and a perfectly fried egg on top to add that little extra flavor to set the whole thing off. Outstanding. I had enough for leftovers. The lard biscuit was flaky, crispy, yet dense in the middle and very filling. Served with a house made peach butter/jam that really added a ton of tartness to offset the lardy goodness of the biscuit. Someone really thought these flavors through. Overall the food was better than most people would expect even if they were expecting something good. I would order anything I had again and again. The service was quick, the food was great, the vibes were on point, and the place was clean and tidy. They're serving up farm to table burgers, sandwiches and brunch items, and anything you could ask for from a full service butcher shop. If they aren't on your radar, they should be. They're winning awards and making the national rankings for a reason. Get down there and give them a shot if you're in the area. You won't regret it. 5 stars. read more

Bolyard's Meat & Provisions in Maplewood is a great combo of butcher shop, deli, and casual lunch spot that also offers a weekend brunch menu. It's a haven for carnivores, but probably not the best place for your vegetarian friends. I tried the Feisty Bull--a pulled beef sandwich with peppers and cheese--and it was phenomenal. Just the right amount of spice to keep things exciting without being overwhelming. It came with a side of homemade pork rinds that were perfectly crispy and oh-so-yummy. I need to find out if they sell those by the bag! The dining room is simple and spacious, with counter seating and a few tables. It's not luxurious, but it's clean, comfortable, and welcoming. There's also some outdoor seating. The setup is counter service. The food quality is top notch. A great spot for a quick sandwich or an uncomplicated brunch! read more

Overall, a place with very tasty local meat plates and decently priced for what you get. Will definitely be back! WAIT TIME: We came in for brunch on a Saturday at 11:30am. Place is counter order and then you find seats. Whole process is quite speedy. They took around 20 mins to get our food out, which was a little longer than expected since there was only one order in front of us, but they were also dealing with butcher orders at the counter, so it's understandable. FOOD: I ordered the Feisty Bull sandwich which came with a pork rind. The sandwich was SO TASTY! The pulled beef and aioli in the companion bread was such a perfect combination. And the pork rind is locally made; it was one large piece which made me laugh. Very delicious as well. My partner got the burnt ends breakfast, which was a large portion of potatoes and burnt ends, also an excellent dish. SERVICE: Counter ordering, super simple and the people were smiley and helpful. AMBIANCE: It's a beautiful space, very well lit with natural lighting, and lots of stool seatings near the windows as well as some tables. PRICE: The sandwich was $14 and the burnt ends was $15. Both very well priced for the portions you get, and the quality of all the food! read more

This place is the few butcher shop that is open on a Sunday near us, so we decided to go here to buy meats to cook. The prices here are decent for good quality meat. The meats were slim pickings today because we went later in the day. We still manage to buy a few that we liked. There were also some tables and chairs inside and outside to sit down and eat if you want to dine in for their restaurant options. They also have dog treats to buy, one of the dog treat we saw this day were half long big bone with marrow that they cooked. read more

Wow, Bolyard's may be the new go to breakfast spot. I had the breakfast hash and it was absolutely some of the best fried chicken I have had in St. Louis. This little nook is the prime spot to grab yourself some fresh, locally sourced meats. And not just the popular stuff either, they use all of the animal so you can get tongue, liver, heart, etc. I grabbed some ranch steak for philly cheese steaks. But, the star was breakfast. The entire menu had me salivating. But, I settled on the hash as the hot honey fried chicken was speaking to me. It comes served in a skillet with beef tallow fried breakfast potatoes, roasted peppers, rutabaga, hot honey chicken, and an over easy egg. The hot honey on the chicken was insane. As soon as the breading hit your taste buds the honey's sweetness took control. But, as you bit in, you started to feel the spice from the cayenne and paprika. The breakfast potatoes were amazing. Super crispy, and salty. So amazing. The rutabaga was a nice touch. Certainly a unique addition to make the dish a bit more distinguishable. I am definitely not complaining. This truly is of the best brunch/breakfast plates I have had in recent memory. The workers were awesome. All of the butchers were talkative with customers, informative, and they even offered to keep the steaks I purchased in the fridge while I ate. The prices are certainly a bit more expensive than other places. However, I am happy to pay the premium for service like that and food from locally sourced farms. They have their cuts labeled with the specific farm they came from which is pretty cool. All in all, I can't wait to get back and try some of the lunch menu. The lard biscuits also look amazing. If you haven't been, go pick up some fresh meat from Bolyard's and grab some grub while you're there, it'll be the best decision you make all day. read more

Great place! First time in. Had breakfast. Hubs had the biscuit & gravy and side of sausage, I had the burnt ends, tallow potatoes with a sunny side up egg! Everything was so good! Plenty of seating. Lots of counter seating. They have a full case of meats (as it is a fully operational butcher shop), plus cold cases filled with other items like their sides, eggs, misc drinks, even raw dog food! Lots to look at! We'll definitely be back to try lunch!! read more

Have been several times and never disappointed. Finally made it for brunch today. Neat atmosphere with street or parking lot parking. Go to eat and get some meat! Brunch was the weekly hash bowl. It was tasty. A little spice but not over the top for those sensitive to spice like me. The Biscuits are amazing and even better with gravy and an egg. #YUM For lunch- must have tallow fries. Hard to go wrong with any of the sandwiches. Staff are friendly and ready to help you make your selection. read more

2 different businesses to keep in mind here. Meat/provisions and the meals. We went for lunch and has a good time. Sat outside to enjoy the weather. Ordering is Randy with both paper and QR menus. We got a couple of different things to try. An umami burger and fries, the monte cristo and dish that I can't remember the name. (Picture included). The burger was good, a smash style that's super crispy. Monte Christo didn't go over well, the jam had an odd taste, as did the French toast. The dish I can't remember the name of was the best. I would also like to call out the fries. While very tasty, there's not a lot of them for the price. Served if a large mug thing, but ours was mostly filled with air and paper, making it look much more impressive than it was. For lunch, we spent about $60 with tip and would probably try something different next time, knowing what we do now. Would skip the fries for the cost. The meat part of the location seemed to be very busy and has a good selection of items for sale. read more

High quality meat in town! Saint Louis' only whole animal butcher! I've been to this place many times before and they always serve mind-blowingly delicious food comes with unique taste. I like how they experiment with herbs/spice, combine them with all kinds of meat. They also have other creative food like fermented strawberry or that special meatloaf... Super friendly staff take the orders and they listen their customers. I have been wishing coffee for brunch here and it became real in few months, from another small business "Living Room". Bolyard's white building with big windows makes your time here even more enjoyable. There is also a special room inside, you can watch butchers while working. And there is a cleaver as door handle! Once you try their food, you will not want to go to those overrated/overpriced meat restaurants. Also they have dried liver pet treats! read more

My husband and I live in the area and have walked by Bolyard's many times and today we finally stopped in for lunch. There are only a few tables in the middle of dining area but there is plenty of seating because there is bar style seating that wraps around and looks out onto the street. They also have seating outside which is great for this warmer weather! You place your order at the counter and they have us a number for our table. The food came out quickly, less than 10 mins. I was torn between The Dip and the Buffalo Chicken sandwich but went with The Dip because I just couldn't pass it up. My husband ordered the Melt and then we shared the fries. Both of our sandwiches were tasty and we would order them again but WOW the fries were absolutely incredible. They are fried in beef fat and oh so crispy I will absolutely order them every time I go now! My husband was SO excited when he learned they are also a butcher and make the cuts right there. They also have freezer/coolers full of fresh cuts, stocks, local eggs, sides, and even fresh meat for dog food. read more

I had a great experience at Bolyard's this past weekend with my husband, brother in law and friend. I would call it more of a fast casual style where you order at the front, sit down and then they bring the food to you. It took probably about 15 minutes for our food to come so it was pretty quick! I ordered the tallow fries, farro, and pork and apple panini. All three were amazing! I probably would skip the farro the next time. It was really good but a little too interesting for me. The fries had a nice crisp and I loved the gochujang aioli dipping sauce. The pork and apple panini I'll order again and again! I loved the combination of sweet and savory and having both ham and pulled pork! My brother in law ordered the French dip which he couldn't stop raving about. It came with a side of aus jus which was in a low, wide bowl. Something I complain about is trying to dip my large sandwich in a small container so they really thought about the perfect dipping bowl! Our friend ordered something off the brunch menu since we came on a Saturday. He got the breakfast wrap which had spicy sausage in it! It looks very good and very cheesy! This is a great place to come and we would all come back. The meat is high quality which you would expect being a butcher shop. They did a great job incorporating their meats and making delicious sandwiches. Something to note is they do have a parking lot. We did not know this our first time and struggled to parallel park in downtown Maplewood. This adds to the convenience of coming here. They also have a couple tables outside when it's a beautiful day like it was last weekend read more

So the burgers and sandwiches were really good. The French onion soup was a huge disappointment. It was so thick and all onions and no broth and too caramelized. When I asked the worker about it she was very dismissive saying it's been like that all week and it's always been like that. I said it was really bad. She told me well I have a big order to take out and just left. It was really rude and everyone there is usually so nice. Didn't even get my full lunch because the soup was so terrible. Made me sad. read more

Came to order some steaks and a sandwich. Got a cubano. Nothing wrong with it, but pretty over-priced at $15 what I would call an alright sandwich. The thing that really irked me was the steaks I ordered. They didn't have the cut of meat I initially wanted, which was fine. I understand they probably only get cows certain days so their stock on select cuts are limited. I told the employee I wanted to grill about 2 half-pound steaks tonight. He initially recommended a sirloin, but those were too large for what I wanted (about a pound per steak). He then recommended a mouse steak. I had never heard of this but took his recommendation and ordered two in the sizes I wanted. I searched the cut of meat when I got home, and much to my dismay discovered that it is an AWFUL cut of beef for grilling, that its super lean and tough and better off for stir fry or a stew. It's partially my fault for ordering a cut of meat I didn't know anything about, but if I'm going to a boutique butcher and paying a premium for beef, I don't think its too much to ask to get decent recommendations and guidance. I felt like it was recommended me to me to just get rid of the product. I ended up freezing the steaks. I don't know what I'll do with them because its such a weird cut. Ended up going to Schnucks and getting a better cut for grilling. I'd like to support small local businesses, but I just ended up feeling jipped. read more
