    My first visit to Butcher Boy, impressed me so much. This is one of my very favorite establishments, in Reno. The selection is fabulous! I couldn't make a quick decision, so I took note of everything they have so I can plan my next trip! My partner had decided he wanted the Grill Pack. And the price for everything you get, to me, is unbeatable. I have been doing the grocery shopping for my household for 5 years and I am consistently checking prices. These meats and products are quality and these prices are great! The staff is so friendly and helpful! High marks for customer service! Everything seems to be quite organized, I didn't have a hard time finding specific meats. Check out the Grill Pack and Family Packs! They are deals! Meal prep is very important to me because I can't eat processed foods. I need to cook and freeze and the items at Butcher Boy truly help with monthly menus! Local companies are sold there too! Local supporting local is also high marks! And for those who receive SNAP/EBT, they do accept it.

    Choices, choices, choices wow are there a lot of choices here at this old-fashioned meat market right off of Plumb in Reno. We're lucky to have places like this, stop by and enjoy it. We had just eaten at a restaurant next-door and my wife wanted to look inside. We ended up buying hamburger and sausage and can't wait to try it. They're very helpful and the choices. I mean the selections are just out of this world. You'll see things that you're not gonna see at your typical grocery store. Give this place a try and ask them what they can do for you.

    Getting bored with the standard fare, and wanting a really good bbq steak, I stopped in to Butcher Boy Market. Picked out several things, the Korean bbq sticks...delicious and oh so tender! Also chose the prime cut New York steak with Char Crust -Java Buzz dry rub. I baby sat the steaks on the grill, and they were incredible! Better than any steak house in town! Staff was super welcoming, will def. Be back.

    Smoked original Brats.

    Amazing survive was greeted and offered help the moment I walked in despite it being a bit crowded. Amazing service, lovely atmosphere. Great looking meat! Definitely coming back!

    Large frozen section.

    My several trips here have been a pleasure. Very helpful and knowledgeable staff. I'm Australian so was looking for some sausages, similar to those I grew up eating from our favorite butcher shop. I did find they have British Bangers, they were quite delicious. Next on my list is to try their Waghu beef, they have both American and from Japan. Think the grade is 8.5. They do have a rewards club and fun to join that and earn a bonus along the way. I recommend this store on Plumb, I shall return.

    Wonderful meat and sausage choices with excellent service. Clean and inviting as well. What more do you need in a conveniently located butcher shop? Aside from quality meat products, the store offers unexpected touches such as ready to cook Kalbi ribs, kabob skewers with veggies and numerous seasoning preparations. We purchased short ribs, ribeye and even chicken thighs. Order in advance, perhaps, if you have a cookout to prepare for or a special gathering. Check out Butcher Boys- open Tuesday-Sunday.

    Horrible amount of fat in the ground beef. More fat than meat.

    My wife was out shopping and I asked her to locate some ground lamb. She called butcher boy and they said they had about 2 lbs of ground lamb. I needed 3 lbs, so I told her to get 1 lb beef also. We have purchased many cuts of meats here. Never got ground meat here so I asked her to check the % fat added. The guy on the phone said 'about 20%' for both. So she got 3 lbs total. She got it home and I started cooking. I'm telling you, that ground % was more like 50%. It was horrible. You can see in the pics, there is almost no meat left in the 2 pans. 2 lbs of lamb and barely 1 pound left. And the 1 pound beef...just look at the pics Just feel cheated after that. Can't say I will shop here again. Better to be honest.

We will most definitely be back. The burger in particular was what impressed us both. The quality of the meat was impeccable, delicious flavor, with a nice crispy sear. He let me sneak a bite, and the patty just melts in your mouth. I have no complaints or changes I would make to the burger. The service was so friendly and fast! They were very helpful in choosing what to order! The bison comes from their ranch in Wyoming, the owners brother runs the ranch! The elk comes from a group of family farms they have been doing business with for over 40 years in New Zealand. (Wow!) And the in house ground beef is mostly Niman ranch and Creekstone farms. I don't think you will find a better burger in Reno! We sat inside on their bar stool seating, but there's lots of other seating available outside! The inside has a very modern and elegant feel!

I ordered a BBQ burger at the counter and added an extra patty as well as some chicken tenders and fries for the kids. Service was quick and friendly. I've never had an issue with Armando's service! Truly- the quality of the food here can't be beat. Freshly ground meat, selection between beef, elk, and bison, and high-quality ingredients all the way down to the produce. Sometimes a thick, juicy burger is just what you want. You won't find a puny smashed patty here. Only delicious, perfectly cooked, thick patties. The extra $6 to make it a double is totally worth it. I was even impressed by the fries! Super crispy and well seasoned. The chicken tenders were not overcooked, as you find at many places. The chicken was still very moist while maintaining a crispy exterior. Great choice for your butchery needs, but also a great place to grab some very tasty lunch!

Alec raises his cattle in Fernley so super local, the cows are happy cows not trucked to feedlots at the end of their life cycle. They have good lives, these are the things that I appreciate as a meat eater. And yes I do know all beef is finished on grain, but there's a difference in mixing grass and grain in fields etc. I ordered through his website, super easy. I got a 1/4 of beef, after trimming and cutting, I ended up with around 110 lbs of beef. The percentages of certain types of meat described on his website, ended up being spot on for me. Yes, I wrote down every package, weighed them and created a spreadsheet haha. The packages came wrapped in saran wrap then butcher paper with a stamp of the type of cut. I like knowing what the weight is so a print out sticker with that would be preferred personally in the future, but I just wrote the weight on each package. I kept in touch with Alec and he was very adamant about quality and my happiness He said if it wasn't anything less than amazing, he'd get me a new one. I have the messages for proof, but to be honest, even if I wasn't 100% happy, I could never do that to a small business over possibly small qualms. He cheered me on when I sent him some pics of my first meals with the meat I got from him. He is a young guy, expanding his long run, multi generational family business. On Facebook he showed that he was opening up a store front and I couldn't be more excited for him and for Reno. This is a dream basically, to have local sources of meat, in affordable prices. And I appreciate his ability to take a chance and try to bring back some of the good things from older genertions like neighborhood butcher shops. I suggest giving him a try when you need a butcher or want a beef share for the family if you have the room. It ends up being incredibly worth it cost wise in the long run even though it can be intimidating for an upfront cost. In the end, we have been going through our beef pretty slow, I still have around 50% of it left, and haven't bought beef at a store since February. I've eaten some new meals, cooked cuts in new ways and learned to like hamburger again (because this stuff is tasty and not close to store bought). I haven't had any bad cuts, and I feel so good eating this beef, supporting local business and new generations.

She reverified the day before delivery to confirm all was still good and delivered on time. I was so impressed with how professional, friendly and dialed in the entire team was. Great communication!!! I can't say enough good things about this company and I will continue to use them and let others know about how great they are. Going to try the Korean Ribs tonight.

    If you're a die hard carnivore (like myself) and happen to be a local or a visitor from out of town…read moreand are in the greater Reno-Sparks metropolitan area, do yourself and make a stop to "Blue Ribbon Meat & Butcher Shop". Established in 1946 during the post-WWII/baby boomer era, this wildly popular butcher shop is one of the top picks for quality meats in Northern Nevada. Located directly on Prater Way and adjacent to 15th Ave in Sparks, they are nestled in between a 7-11 and Scoopers Drive-In. Parking is quite easy to find as they have a dedicated lot directly outside of the business. Furthermore, they have a very cool mural that showcases a pig, chicken, and cow which are all the types of meats this place sells. I came here during the afternoon on Saturday 6/20/2026 at around 4:15pm. Keep in mind that they are closed for business on Sunday/Monday but are open Tuesday through Saturday from 9am-6pm. Upon entry, there were quite a few customers but just about everyone was being serviced in a timely manner. Before we get to the meat, this place has a ton of seasonings, dry rubs, marinades, sauces, and a small amount of produce. Additionally, they also have a pre-packaged refrigerated & freezer section where you can purchase quantities of their meats/seafood as well as cold cuts and bottled beverages. However, the real winner is there display case as they offer a ton of beef items. This includes short ribs, chuck wagon, carne asada, tri-tip, and all very popular steaks. They carry a nice variety of pork, lamb, elk, venison, chicken, liver, veal, bacon, and sausage. Since I came prepared with an Igloo cooler (and still had a 2-hour drive home), I purchased their sirloin steak, ribeye steak, bacon burgers, and Hawaiian sausage links. Since I already cooked the sausage (the following day) for breakfast and sirloin steak for dinner, I will say that this place absolutely hits the spot and is arguably much better than Safeway, Raley's, & Save Mart. There's a reason why "Blue Ribbon Meat & Butcher Shop" has been around since the mid-1940s and that's because they are a quality old school butcher shop with very competitive prices (even with the huge price hikes in beef), excellent customer service, and delicious mouth-watering meats. The gentleman that helped me was very polite while their inventory display case was filled to capacity; even during the late afternoon on a Saturday. So if you're into family owned-and-operated butchers shops like myself, you can't go wrong checking this place out. With that said and done, I am giving this place a perfect five stars.

The staff are always welcoming and quick to assist anyone for a selection or answer questions. I've become a reoccurring buyer and urge everyone to check out this local butcher shop!

When I have big parties and all the family over, three dollars a pound difference can be $30 cheaper to go to one of the other options. A couple of times I have asked the counter person if they sell pork belly uncooked as it is a butcher shop and they have plenty of uncooked meat. But she says they do not. I wish I did so it would save me a trip to blue ribbon butcher. I have not tried any of the deli foods, but they have a nice menu. It is always clean, the people are always friendly and the quality seems to always be there so I will continue to shop here for last minute items or if I want to save a trip to town.
