I was in town visiting relatives so we decided to check this place out. Very clean inside with friendly staff. Great variety of meats to take home including house made sausage and charcuterie. I got ham and Tasso ham and they were both excellent . Cooked a steak at home that was very flavorful read more

If I can get this place more than five stars, I would. This trade is dying and you haven't had a real me tell you've been to this place. customer service is stellar. Me and my wife are on a animal-based lifestyle, and wanted some specialty grinds and they had no problem adding in the organs we wanted. All of the meat is grass fed grass finished . We won't be going anywhere else. Thanks to JM stock provisions. These boys know their meat. Thank you. read more

I love their ham and biscuits, but I really need them to salt the country ham. Otherwise, it's just honey & hot sauce carrying it. SALT YOUR HAM MORE. There is no flavor to the ham, and it is infuriating. Everything else is stellar. Especially the pimento cheese. Buy it all, guys. So good. read more

Really happy the timing was perfect for me to be helped by Garri*****. I have celiac and called because we had to stop buying sausages and other meats due to the risk of cross contamination from their biscuits. Pure meat is very important to me and Garri****** provided reassurance on the equipments used and handling of the beef bacon on the display in the front case. He cleaned his area prior to handling my food and those small things are really important to me. Thank you for taking my health serious and providing quality meat! read more

Being from the South, I take biscuits very seriously. A sign of a delicious well made biscuit is a firm crispy bottom and lamination. Lamination is created through the folding of the biscuit dough and the little pockets of butter that remain whole and later dissolve as cooked creating the layers we know and love in biscuits. These biscuits from @stockprovisions have a wonderful buttery flavor, clear lamination and that crispy bottom I look for. The Tasso ham is thinly shaved, piled on and has a delicious Cajun spiced smoky flavor. It's well balanced with a slightly spicy slightly sweet honey sauce. Truly amazing. One biscuit is $7 and they only sell them 8AM-11AM (or until sold out) on the weekends. The actual store is a butcher shop with a variety of high quality meats. Check them out and let me know what you think. *Ordering Tip: If you're worried they may sell out you can place your order online the day before* Follow MarleyRecs on Instagram for more. read more

JM Stock Provisions - a hand holding a sandwich - Butcher Near Me - Charlottesville, Virginia

What better way to start the weekend than nomming on one of their ham biscuits? If you haven't tried the Stock Tasso ham biscuits you are missing out!! I'd heard of their infamous biscuits from various foodie friends so I had to make sure to order ahead to try them! Boy were they worth it! Ordering online was super easy and accessible and picking up happened curbside to minimize contact. They had my order ready when I arrived and the hand off happened seamlessly. Fluffy biscuits topped with a lightest of salt, thinly sliced ham with a slight sweetness and well rounded flavor makes for the best breakfast on a crisp Saturday morning before hitting up the IX Park farmers market. They were bigger than what I had expected based on other pictures I saw - was pleasantly surprised with the generous meat to biscuit ratio and I think there is some type of sweet sauce/syrup added which provided the perfect balance to the savory goodiness. read more

Updating my review to add that I have now tried some of their homemade charcuterie. I was craving a deli meat sandwich, but didn't want to buy the over-packaged, under-nutritious deli meat you buy at the grocery store that comes from who knows where. My friend reminded me of Stock, and I went in the next day and got some of their Stock ham and Mortadella. Both were delicious, service was friendly, and I'll definitely be back soon so I can make some more satisfying sandwiches from the comfort of my home. Price was reasonable too, all things considered! read more

I called and asked if they were able to do sliced beef tongue rather than the whole form, and they said yes. I ordered a pound of that and something else I don't quite remember, and later they called back to inform me they actually didn't have the second thing in stock, just the beef tongue. When I went in to pick it up, however, it was unexpectedly $20/lb instead of $12. I asked about this and the cashier had to ask around and confirm that it was $20, apparently because the extra work to remove the casing and slice it. I would've been fine paying that if I knew ahead of time, but it just sucks to get blindsided by a 67% price increase at the register. read more

I recently became very interested in higher quality, more animal, environmental and producer friendly meats. so I started looking and quickly found JM Stock Provision. I couldn't be more pleased. They have a sign that says 'Trust your butcher' and that made perfect sense. They are very, very friendly and outgoing. The pride they have in their work and their product is always very apparent, and well earned. I've had the pleasure to interact with Alex, Ben and Ian, and the rest of the fellows seem cut from the same cloth. I asked them to provision a somewhat large quantity of various meats, beef, pork and chicken. I just told them I had a new freezer and was looking for a lot of great meat to last me a while as I self isolated. I said I trusted them to select a nice variety to meet my needs. Omakase is what they call it in the sushi world, and that's my favorite way to do it. I had high expectations, they were exceeded. These guys vacuum sealed everything into generous, but large single, or reasonable double portions. I am single, and would dread having to defrost and cook larger portions. They also had a unusual (for them) item in my order for me, FISH! Unexpected, and not local, but outstanding quality. I love fish. Well, I could go on, but you get it. This is the place to go for exceptional quality of service, care and of course, meat! Thanks guys! read more

Food to cure the soul. Fantastic Tasso ham and customer service. We stopped in on a Thursday on way to the hospital hoping to have a hot ham biscuit (available on Fri & Sat). But no problem--Alex set us up with the fixin's for some. We couldn't wait until we got home and had a picnic in the cafeteria. read more

Never knew there was a butcher shop so close to downtown. They are excellent and have great customer service. I was able to call and get turkey legs the day of Thanksgiving. They have great doggie treats to for your furry friend! read more

JM Stock Provisions has the absolutely best local meat. Tonight we had the privilege of eating an exquisite beef tenderloin. Yesterday, we had the lamb sausages in a pasta for dinner. For lunch we had the beef hotdogs. Everything was tasty and delicious. This is an amazing butcher. read more

Have you ever felt sad there are no more butcher specialty shops in this decade. Don't feel bad! This place is a super authentic butcher shop with every type of meat and cut you could possibly request. House made sausages are not to be missed. The price is of quality locally sourced meat but if you are paying for quality this is the place to go. The staff was super friendly and accommodating. I would recommend calling ahead if you are looking for some thing more nuanced. I went here for pork belly and it was phenomenal. I will definitely be visiting as much as I can afford to because no grocery butcher can beat the selection and service this place offers. read more

I'm so happy I live down the street from this shop. I cannot imagine a better butcher shop with more knowledgeable, competent, capable and nicer people. They are always interested in helping you make a good selection and are the cream of the crop. Their product is stellar too. read more

JM Stock Provisions is always my go to whenever I need high quality sustainable meat. They are always accommodating to any weird requests I have and can get you any type of meat you need if you tell them a few days in advance. They give great advice and have amazing customer service. If you can I recommend always choosing them over grocery store meats - not only is the taste SO DIFFERENT and so much better, but you also get to support local businesses and farms in the area. read more

I know most people go to JM Stock Provisions to buy meat to cook but I prefer buying meat that's already within two pieces of bread. I heard about this place having the most amazing ham biscuits around and I was not disappointed one bit. Before noon, they freshly bake biscuits with wonderfully flavored ham and a sauce that's a great combo of sweet/spicy. I really enjoyed this biscuit and will 100% be back soon. Get there early since they seem to sell out! read more

We stopped in on a sunday for lunch. If I'm correct Saturday's and Sunday's the make a lunch sandwich between certain times that is unique to that day. We got a meatball sandwich that was just one giant meatball patty with marinara sauce, mozzarella cheese and chopped banana peppers. Its was REALLY good. My only complaint would more be a suggestion to make the bread toasty. I think that would of put it over the top. BUT to be clear that's not a complaint since I still would give the sandwich a 10 out of 10. O and meatball patty idea is GENIUS. The meats are all local within an hour and 30 mins drive. Very good meats. The staff was really friendly and informative. Clearly they know their stuff and love what they do and you can taste in in the food. Please, if ur in the area make a stop at this shop. You won't regret it. read more

I really liked this butcher shop! Full disclosure - I generally love local butcher shops. My brother-in-law said he had an "errand to run" and low and behold we were at this awesome butcher shop. It's not your typical butcher shop - its a little hipster but not quite - there is a high attention to detail but I didn't find that it was pretentious at all. It had some trendy items in there but it didn't feel overwhelmingly "too cool." I appreciated that there were a lot of local (of course) items. The guys are genuinely down to earth and personable. I felt welcomed, able to leisurely explore, and not pressured to make a decision when other folks were coming in. I actually ended up buying a can of Portuguese sardines, a pork ear for the pup, and a sweet sweatshirt that says "Virginia is for meat lovers." I'll make sure to wear the sweatshirt and post a pic of it - you should definitely grab one too and support your local business! read more

Came in here and tried to order something. It was 2pm on a slow Sunday but no one was to be found to order anything from. Two men were slicing meat, in an open air concept, which was great to see, but again, zero staff to talk to or order anything from. I'll give them two stars for a good concept and will revise my rating should I ever come back. Til then, I'm not recommending this shop to anyone. read more

Best butcher shop in town. Also maybe the most expensive, but you get what you pay for. Honestly, I rarely buy meat from here due to the expense, but when I do the staff is extremely knowledgeable and helpful. Can do custom orders and cuts too. I really just come for the ham biscuits. One of my favorite weekend breakfast stops. They also do special sandwiches on weekends that change daily, but I mostly just eat the ham biscuits. They are wonderful. read more

Great local option to buy meat. I've loved every type of sausage I've tried, though their ground beef convinced me that buying from a butcher is worth it. The flavors were unmatched and I didn't know it could be much more than crumbles of protein. The butchers are always helpful, friendly, and quick with their service. The fifteen minute parking spots out front make it painless to drop in. Make the time and pay the extra dollars. Your tastebuds will thank you. read more

Well curated stock, helpful and knowledgeable staff. I'm always blown away by the look and feel of the place, which I enjoy when I can't pay the price tag on the meat. But seriously....the ham biscuit, ya'll. In my nearly 30 years, I have NEVER even LIKED ham: too dry, too salty, too porky. But I consider this biscuit the best bite in Charlottesville. High praise, you say? Just taste it for yourself. read more

The Robert E Lee monument should be replaced by a bronzed sculpture of the breakfast sandwich from JM Stock butcher!!! We tried a lot of food Labor Day weekend but our biscuits with ham, covered in honey butter, and Chile were the only thing that could save the world from the pending Trumpocolypse. I figure we send a few of these to Jason Kessler and Chris Cantwell and they'll be crusading for Bernie in no time . read more

Awesome butcher shop. Immaculate, well decorated, and knowledgeable/friendly staff. Has sausages, steaks, and a little grocery section where you can find farm fresh veggies, cheeses, craft beer, stocks, and other goodies. A must-visit if you live nearby. Also, in the front they run a nice cafe. read more

Excellent butcher shop. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. I am familiar enough with the various cuts of meat, but the staff took their time with me, talked through what I had planned to cook, number of people, etc. and made sure I was happy with the cuts they gave me. This visit was intended to restock my freezer so I also appreciated the extra time they took to portion out and vacuum seal the meat for me so that I could travel back home comfortably. An added bonus was the ability to get some dog bones. Unfortunately, they had just finished making marrow butter and so they did not have the larger femur bones I normally buy, but they went into the back freezer and came out with some nice knuckles that still had some marrow and nice bits for my dog. Most places I have gone to would have just told me "no, we are out"; I felt like the folks here went the extra mile and wanted to ensure i had SOMETHING and left happy. I found the prices more than reasonable - particularly given the quality of the meat. I expected to spend much more than I actually did. I would recommend calling ahead if you are shopping for more unusual cuts of meat, particularly if you intend to buy in bulk to stock up, like I did. Also, if you need to talk through your purchases with the staff, I would also come earlier in the day. I understand that they get pretty slammed around lunch time as they make deli sandwhiches in addition to everything else they do/offer. I will definitely be making another trip down to Charlottesville and recommend this shop to anyone who cares about using quality meats. read more

First time in today. Super friendly folks run it. Bought an some chicken/apple and pork/garlic sausages and a chew for my dog. My dog is now dead cause hit head exploded (joke). Seriously I've never seen him look at me like that. I just finished the sausages. Insane. Perfectly spiced and flavored. Worst part is I didn't buy enough. If everything else they sell is so well presented, I'll be there at least once a week. Lastly, they're a local committed business, and you have to love that. read more

Best butcher shop ever. Best customer service ever. Never thought I could love a butcher, & I love all of these. Nice cheese selection, + milk & eggs, & a nice assortment of gourmet staples. read more

Best butcher in town. Hands down. Bacon that will change your life ... rotating sausage selections that will tickle your funny bone (The Sam Elliott, for instance) and fill your belly. Steaks to impress the ladies with. All from REAL organic farmers. They'll show you the whole butchering process (they're a lips to tail butcher). The guys there are great dudes dudes that know the butchering process inside and out. And they're cool as hell. JM Stock is what a store should be. read more

Absolutely disgusting meat, vulgar/rude staff, just plain overall bad experience. Me and my mother called in advance and ordered several large cuts of meat for contribution to the church cookout, and when we came to pick it up, they acted like they never even spoke on the phone with us. They looked at me like I was INSANE and were mumbling obscenities in addition to taking 2 hours to complete our order. The only reason I stuck around was because they're pretty much the only place in town to get enough meat for such a large BBQ outing. The meat wasn't even fresh, it clearly had dust/cloth particles stuck to the surface, and had glaring bone fragments embedded in the meat. I think they purposefully dropped the meat on the ground and got it dirty, or are they maybe they're always this filthy? I would never go here again and I recommend you avoid this place at all costs. read more

I can't add much more than what the others have said. It's the bomb if you're looking for locally sourced foods, and are willing to pay the price for small farm goodness. Went in on a Sunday for brekky as well. Simple fare but great. The grits are awesome and the sausage gravy and biscuits are also above average. The guys that run it are great and vibe is very nice. The ham for the biscuits is more city ham than country ham - good all the same, but if you're hankering for salty country ham, this ain't it. More delicate and well behaved. This joint needs more business; it should be a local treasure that deserves the time mature and develop. read more

Wow! I had heard about the amazing Saturday morning biscuits -- and the men in my family were very happy campers that morning! The staff was so amazing and helpful I ended up buying the best bacon ever and a locally raised flank steak...marinated it was really delicious. Also bought some duck and with the recipe the butcher gave me am excited about tomorrow night's meal! Highly recommend. Cool vibe. Great staff. Quality food/meats. read more

Went to the shop for a live demo last night and got to know one of the owners and a few members of staff. JM Stock & Supply is a whole-animal butcher, meaning they start from the entire animal to make their cuts, sausages, jerkies, gravies, and stocks. They're a great humored group of guys with some serious skill, and are happy to recommend lesser-known cuts and share recipes. They're tuned in to the ethics of their business; they buy their animals local organic and make a point to use as much of each pig, cow, or chicken as possible...even saving scraps for dog treats. A big carving table occupies the center of the space, so you can stop by and see them in action! read more

We ordered a 12-14 lb turkey for Thanksgiving. Spoke someone on the phone about it, as well as placed an online order several weeks ahead of time. When we picked up the turkey on the scheduled date we were told that their farmer didn't give them any small turkeys this year and we were given a 19 lb bird cut in half! The situation could have been made better had they called to inform us of this and we could have chosen whether we wanted a cut in half turkey or ordered one elsewhere. To make matters worse I found out later that other customers were in fact given a 12 lb turkey - so I believe they weren't honest with us. For the high prices, I would have expected better customer service. I will not be getting meat from here again. read more

I first went in and got a pork shoulder and it was DEE-licious. Went in again for ground beef and brisket for a July 4th BBQ and boy were my guests pleased. I believe that you should always pay for quality when it comes to what you put in your body and though their meat is on the expensive side, you are getting the absolute best without having to feel bad for it. All of their meat comes from animals who lived great lives on the pasture, not in the pens. The staff clearly love what they do and take pride in their work. If you follow doctor's advice and eat meat only occasionally, make sure you get your meat here. read more

I was so impressed with the service I received the first time I went into this place! What I was looking for wasn't in the case, but it had just been packaged and the butcher was attentive enough and helpful enough to hand me my Italian sausage fresh off the butcher block! I can't wait to go back! read more

We first came for bacon (several times), but have since bought ground pork and steaks. They are a terrific butcher. They didn't have enough hanger steak for what I needed, so the guy guided me toward a similar cut as a substitute. And when I mentioned I was planning to sous vide my steaks, he offered to season and vacuum seal them for me! That just made my day. They're extremely knowledgable and very friendly. They obviously cost more than the supermarket but the quality is far superior. Their bacon alone is worth a special trip. read more

Amazing and fresh meat, dairy and produce selection! Great assortment of local wine/beer! Sandwiches on the weekends, yum! And they are all awesome dudes (and lady) check it out! read more

I stopped in on a whim. The service was excellent. My bacon was sliced right in front of me to a custom thickness. I also bought some Mojo sausages which were freaking awesome! The store was clean and the staff was very knowledgable and willing to discuss the products and methods of preparation. The prices are a little higher than I had hoped, but for the best fresh local meat, this is the place to go. read more
