We love this neighborhood jewel. There's so few great butcher shops around anymore. What makes this even better is there's a wine shop attached. Everyone is helpful and knowledgeable. Our favorites are the dry aged steaks and the marinated skirt steak. read more

Great service personnel; very knowledgeable; overall fantastic experience took my daughter and the staff interacted with her, couldn't have asked for a better way to start my day off read more

I hate beating a dead horse but Pape Meat Co. is the best butcher shop I've seen between the Bay Area and Arizona. They've had the best meats I've ever seen, customer service is excellent, and their cooked meats are great for parties or if you've had a long day and don't wanna cook when you get home. My FIRST stop when planning a BBQ. read more

Great local market with top-notch picks. Most of the selections vary between organic, local, and a few big-name brands. Anything you would need (minus RX) is at this place -- and all at a price that is on-par with anywhere else up the street. Half the lines and double the parking too. So, why not just support the local market? read more

I discovered this place when I lived in Millbrae. The staff here are awesome to work with and give you great recommendations. The quality of meats and pricing are the best in the peninsula. I highly recommend coming here especially if you want a delicious dry aged rib eye. I use Pape's for my restaurant in San Carlos because it's important to serve my guests what I would enjoy eating myself. read more

This place is great! They have a nice variety of meats and they are packaged well and given to you on ice (without asking)!

Thanks Yelpers! Good recommendation. High quality meat and service. My 3 pound pork tenderloin was perfect. I will come again.

Great place with the best meats I've ever seen. All top grade meats.

Great prices, selection, presentation and service earn them a fiver. The colossal prawns (4 to a pound) are especially amazing and delicious, and this is the only place I've seen them. Also great for flank steaks, and Mary's air dried (the only way to go IMO) chicken. The staff is more than happy to go into detail about cooking anything they sell. read more

Super friendly helpful staff everyone is extremely knowledgeable the quality of meat is extremely high . Lots to choose from can request custom meat grind combos for hamburger patties which I thought was pretty cool read more

everythings fresh, well marinated, well cut. They are really knowledgable, and you can pre order more expensive cuts. The best meat market around. read more

Wow! This place is awesome and is the cleanest Butcher shop I ever walked in. That is the best part of course is the meat. Got a 21 day dry aged bone in ribeye from them and it was awesome! They said to cook it no more than 5 minutes per side and they were spot on. The ribeye came out perfect and was just tender and tasty. No more Costco steaks. I am coming here if I ever want a nice treat. read more

This is the definition of local butcher shop. The service, meat, fish, and overall experience is incredible. The quality of the service is unparalleled--they are always ready to give advice and recommendations on whatever culinary experience you're going for. The quality of the meat has been consistently wonderful, and the ready to eat chickens are a life saver for days when you're running low on homemade food but still want something delicious & affordable. You can order the chicken ahead, but they often have leftover and if you get lucky you can stop by and grab one without prior ordering! read more

The butcher is extremely helpful and friendly here. He can also get you those rare items, like calf's liver, veal, and sweetbreads. Just call ahead. The prices are also extremely reasonable. read more

The prices are bit high on some items, but nothing beats having your own butcher. I come here when having a nice dinner, or if I want something cut and prepped just right. Staff is awesome - knowledgeable and helpful. read more

Yeah I agree the meats really good at this place. Never was disappointed with any of my purchases.

Ordered a prime rib for the holidays and couldn't have been happier with the quality and taste.

An absolute GEM! I've been popping in and purchasing for 20+ years. Try the Filet Role with the Works or Cheddar Hamburger patties or Pesto Chicken or Aged steaks of any cut . . . or you choose. Fabulous and friendly staff. read more

Clean, friendly, efficient, with beautiful product. They donated a gift certificate for a 20lb BBQ turkey to our school's auction and I had the winning bid. I ordered it for a big family dinner tonight and it was perfect. It was ready at exactly the time I requested it. Fresh from the oven, hot and juicy, cooked to perfection and so delicious. My guests raved about it. And the meal prep was much less stressful for me since I didn't have to worry about the turkey! Thank you so much, Pape Meat Co., for your generous donation to our school and for a wonderful turkey! read more

I'm here right now happily getting my order ready. All staff members are awesome, helpful and friendly. The place is so clean well laid out that it makes me never want to wonder the isles in Safeway again. The quality of food served his is top notch. read more

By far the best meat market on the peninsula. We know Mike and his team and they are the most knowledgable, friendly butchers you will ever meet! High customer satisfaction is what you will get at Pape's plus a great product! Special orders are always accepted and when you need a special cut for a holiday or other special gathering, this is the place to go! We have ordered many special cuts and we have always been very satisfied with the product and the service. Last year we had a special prime rib, the first three or four bones (which are the best!) and they were able to get an actually prime version, not just USDA select. It was mouth-watering! You MUST try their rack of lamb in their special seasoning, in sealed, air-tight bags. They are the best ever! They are served at many local restaurants including one of my favorites, Jacks Restaurant in Millbrae, which is another local favorite. read more

I went there after reading all the good reviews (was looking for an alternative to Lunardi's, which is where I used to buy meat regulary). Anyway, the selection here is really good (although not as huge as at Lunardi's), but the quality is great. I'm taking one star off since they tend to "accidentally" put a wrong price when weighing the meat (higher, of course), but I figured that was till they got to know me and probably know by now not to mess up with me like that anymore. So, newcomers - beware! Other than that, really great place and friendly staff. My favorite pick here is teriyaki skirt steak and teriyaki chicken breast (both perfect for kids). Osso bucco is also top of the line... and they can always recommend how to cook certain meat if you're not sure. They'll even roast the meat for you for a minimal fee, which I've done couple of times for parties. read more

By far, one of the best in the business. Stay away from the hawaiian ribs, they are all mine! ;-)

Having been born and raised in Millbrae I am very familiar with Pape's. They do a great job making it easy to make dinner. (marinated chicken/ribs/etc...) We have catered many family events through Pape's and they have always turned out great. Both Mike and Larry are super guys and although I've moved to Belmont I still frequent Pape's. Two thumbs up! read more

Pape is the best place too buy meat!! the guys that work there are great. It does not matter if you go everyday there, or once a month they always remember you. The prices are a little more than what you would pay somewhere else but you are paying for a great cut. The guys there will cutit, slice it and even tell you the best way to cook it if you need help. Great service and very helpful staff read more

Just came in today for the first time to purchase some filet tails. Larry was helping us out and he was awesome. Super friendly and informative. Everything in the store was very organized and clean. Greeted with a smile. Can't wait to have my filets tonight. Will be back soon! Thanks again Larry! read more

How to be the BEST wife to your husband. (1) Go to Pape Meat. (2) Buy the best PRIME cut steak they have. And trust me, they have a great selection, and amazing quality! (3) Pick a good bottle of wine to pair with your meat. Pape Meat even offers wine tasting as times! yummmmmmmmyyyy. (4) Cook your meat at home. Draw your husband's attention. Pop that bottle of wine. Eat. (5) Make Love. -------- Voila! ;) read more

The only corned beef worthy of my New England boiled dinner... I moved across the bay a year ago but still drive back for the meat..

They recently did a overhaul of the store and it looks fantastic! So gorgeous! But, you'll pay for it. Their items are too expensive.

I love this place. The meat is affordable, I just wish they had more grass-fed and/or organic options. Great fish case too. They have a lot of pre seasoned meats as well. The people working the counter are awesome, they always have a smile and will give you helpful cooking directions. I get all my meat here every couple weeks. Good deli meat too. read more

This place is awesome! There dry aged rib eye is phenomenal and they have an excellent wine selection. So happy to have such a great meat market in Millbrae :) read more

Fantastic butcher shop. The customer service is unbeatable, the butchers bend over backwards to get you what you are looking for. The quality of the meat is excellent and they carry many hard to find cuts that other places don't. Well worth the trip read more

Some of the nicest people work here! This place has the best choices of meat for an AMAZING price. There's a nice selection of wines here in addition to the dry age process of meats. You're definitely getting quality meats here. I drove all the way from Newark just to get some of their amazing chicken ! read more

First time here today. Everybody was super nice and there was so much selection that I was a bit overwhelmed in a good way. Came home with Cajun marinated chicken breast, ground lamb meat, and rack of lamb. Told them that I wasn't going home anytime soon & they made me an ice pack. So nice of them. Plus every item was air sealed, makes for easy freezing. Definitely will be back. Mmmmm......meat. read more

This place is amazing! very clean, organized and has great customer service. They have quality meats and seafood and most of all they offer already marinated items great for last minute dinner meals. they also have plenty of private parking spaces. read more

Best Butcher Shop in the Bay!! Amazing cuts of meat and fresh seafood. But the best part Is the customer service!!! They crew is always friendly and so knowledgeable!! We learn something new every visit!! read more

LOVE everything about this place. The employees, the meat, the wine... Everything is awesome. Recently purchased some bone marrow here and, lord oh lord, was it good. read more

See all

The best place to buy delicious meat. You can have them pre-season the meat and even cook it for you, so you only need to warm the meat. I have purchased beef BBQ ribs, seasoned Teriyaki chicken and for Christmas, Prime Rib. Always excellent! read more

Best butcher shop around! I have yet to have a bad piece of meat. Their marinaded meats are outstanding. You might pay a little more, but you can't beat the quality. I would happily pay more for a good steak! The service is above all others. The butchers know their cuts and I am pretty sure they know how to breakdown a steer unlike your large grocery stores. They are great at making recommendations and help you with cooking times for the perfect wellness. If you don't have the time to cook... It's ok, they will cook it for you. They are helpful and always smiling. One of the last business to go the extra mile. Love Pape's... would not go anywhere else. read more

A hidden gem with a beautiful selection of fresh meats & seafood, great atmosphere, friendly and helpful staff, and worth the drive! It was our first time on Saturday and everyone was so nice, Lucy helped us she was such a sweet heart and so helpful and gave us some great pointers. We bought some wagyu, bratwursts, and wagyu smoke cheddar patty, everything was phenomenal and worth it! We can't wait to come back and try out the seafood! P.s the shrimps are huge and look delicious even though I'm allergic lol read more
