I attended the butcher class. So informative. Really friendly and knowledgeable staff. Beer and sparkling water while watching the class. Got to take home some goodies as well:) Will definitely return! Lots of spices and sauces available in store as well. Some dairy products as well. read more

Walden Local Butcher Shop - some pork cuts - Butcher Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

See all

So glad they have a local shop, that I can actually see what I will buy, fresh, not frozen. All their cut and quality are superb. Recently tried their pork chop with bones, the meat is so tender and fresh. Also, they have my favorite, pork hock, feet, belly, bones. The beef bones, different cut of steak are fantastic, flavorful, grass fed quality. Staff are helpful and friendly, and help me to chop up bones, hock into pieces. The quality is far better than Whole Foods, local gem! read more

Best bacon ever!! Lovely and very helpful staff. When you need to consider upping your iron levels, it's nice to know your meal won't include any of the hideous things we pump into cows for fast food. read more

Love this place. Amazing meats, fantastic selection and great customer service with extremely friendly and knowledgeable employees!

Their meat are best. Better than whole food's meat! Not joking. I always use their pork bone to make stock. When I buy a bone from the shop, my friends know that they are going to have a super delicious dinner. read more

A real butcher shop that does it right. All quality local meats brought to the South End. You get what you pay for here. Cuts you can't find elsewhere with expertise that hardly exists anymore. They also have beer. That's fun! read more

I'm so excited they've arrived. Bought two fillets and looking forward to this bbq tonight. Crack the cab. read more

Walden Local Butcher Shop - Butcher Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Wished we lived closer so we could walk by. The store has the most beautiful cuts and the quality is great. Staff are friendly and knowledgeable. For example, we bought pork belly here and at Eataly for comparison. Even though Eataly was more expensive by a dollar, we ended up throwing away Eataly's pork because it had a slight smell. We look forward to buying more cuts from Walden! read more

I picked up a 2 pound piece of ribeye to grill for dinner last night. Best piece of ribeye we've ever had (those eaten at restaurants included). The meat was so flavorful that it barely needed any seasoning. It was just a gorgeous piece of meat with beautiful and just right amounts of fat. Can't wait to try their other cuts (next on my list is the dry aged sirloin). The gentleman helping me was patient and explained all the different cuts. The fact that Walden is less than a 10 min walk to my apartment might mean I will rarely go out to restaurants for steaks anymore! read more

Just picked up a 2lb porterhouse steak to share with some friends. We all agreed it was the best steak we've ever tasted. Staff was super friendly and went through and explained the cuts and helped me figure out which cut was the best for indoor cooking. Also picked up some marrow bones for the dogs! Will definitely be back! read more

I used to be part of their monthly subscription option, which is how I got introduced to them, and was super excited to hear they're opening a brick-and-mortar location! They have fabulous cuts, always super-seasonal (which is their whole thing, keeping it local and sustainable). They also have eggs, sausages, condiments and jams, all great, local New England stuff. You always get inspired when you go there, and the people behind the counter are very helpful with suggestions, advice, and recipe ideas. read more

This place has the greatest quality meat in the Boston area and fabulous customer service. They also accept orders for certain items that aren't usually in the store, which I really appreciate. read more

Great selection, delicious, friendly - and they will do extras like spatchcock a chicken for you, while you wait.

Great service and delicious fresh meat. This spot, dangerously close to the South End buttery, will surely become a Boston mainstay

Outstanding quality locally raised meat. I typically call in an order for pickup. Their website lists meat that's sold in the shop. They also do subscription boxes. Great quality local eggs. Walden also sells fish. Local treasure read more

I got hot dogs, marinated chicken breasts, and 7 different types of sausages here. All were fabulous, and I would definitely go back again.
