Erik Dygulski

Great meat, great cheese and the service to back it up...What more could a person ask for.

Scott Sayles

Going on my fourth delivery now. Everything has been delicious. Delivery and order quantity have been spot on as well as properly and securely packaged. Everyday getting home from work is nice.... but meat delivery day makes it a bit more special... Thanks Porter Road crew

Leland Johnson

Actually, I highly recommend this place not just for meats they have, but they have dog bones here. So much cheaper and the real deal then what you get at dog shops like Petco or Petsmart.

Art Veltheim

One of the few places in town to get a really good steak!

deedee Booker

Ox tails was horrible..... but they did give me my money back ... but not they way I paid for it!!! But overall.... nice people

My daughter asked me to buy some chicken skin. The nicer guy said...$2/lb. The other one, thinking perhaps that I'm dumb, said $6!!! Freaking higher priced per pound than regular chicken!!! I sensed the discrepancy. It's not like they don't know that it's $2!!! I paid $21 for 3 lbs of chicken skin.. tsk, tsk.

Maggie Petty

Great service and expertise!

Cory Williams

Never buy meat or cheese at a grocery store ever again.

Having eaten Merguez in France, I've been looking all over for quality Merguez here in the States and have finally found them! Thank you Porter House!

Stephen Nelson

Awesome staff that is friendly and knowledgeable. Great selection of high quality, local meat. Plenty of other goodies like cheeses, stocks, and jerky. I recommend trying their 50/50, half ground beef half ground bacon!

The Beef is amazing, I finally found skirt steaks that bring me back to the steaks I remember growing up. And the hamburgers and hotdogs are just as good. And you must buy the 2lb's of Dry-aged ground beef for a great meatloaf, They have a deal going on now, Buy $50 and receive 2 lb's free of the Dry-aged ground beef. And what really sealed the deal was the shipping charges $5.00 regular ship and $10 for express and the meat is sealed in a Green Cell Foam that is biodegradable. Porter Road butchers has been a great experience. R.Becker I don't work for them

Michael John

Friendly, courteous and helpful service. Beautiful meat.

Matt Harding

My favorite butcher shop in the state. The best jowl bacon, lunch meat, steak, pork chops, sausages, literally everything I've gotten there has been of the best quality, some things the best I've tasted in my life. Top notch butcher shop, can't find a better one around. If you get a chance to try the BBQ outside the shop when they're open, it's also top notch. Can't recommend any more highly, if you're not vegan you need to go here.

Dave Lewis

Great quality and meticulously crafted cuts. The butchers here take extra care to make sure your steaks are perfectly trimmed to your liking. Excellent cheese selection and helpful advice also. An East Nashville treasure.

Kara Arnold

I love this place. I visit often, sometimes several times a week. This is the only place I purchase meat aside from local farms. The quality is always unmatched. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. I often let them guide me in my choices or just choose for me. I honestly could not ask for more from my neighborhood butcher shop. Oh and they're meatballs in their prepared foods section are absolutely to die for.

Eli Beaird

Best butcher in town, maybe the world.

Brittany Swanson

We've been coming here for almost 2 years since we moved from California. We were looking for a reliable place to order bones for our monthly supply of bone broth. It's comforting to know that their products are sourced locally and responsibly. We call ahead whenever we are in need and they always prepare our order on time. Love and appreciate places like this!

Nick Taras

Consistency of their delivery , Quality it cuts, Timely, clear expectations, extraordinary excellence ............wishin’ I was grillin’

Tina Riley

The quality of the meat is outstanding. We picked up a variety of items. Employee was helpful putting items to try. Steaks and the bacon burgers are our favorites

David Johnson

Great service and quality meat always.

Eddie Ferraz

Decided to try Porter Road meats and I ordered beef Steaks (Picanha, Skirt, Ribs, Tri tip), received in less than 48 hours, the meats were very well packed in a ice box, we tried on the grill and they were marvelous, very tender, flavorful and delicious, very worth for the buck. Thank you!

mitch fiedler

ordered a bunch of cuts from their website, fast delivery, AMAZING quality beef, and good prices. will be ordering from them again.

Candice Nelson

You are getting what you pay for. While it is very pricey, you’re purchasing local(ish), high quality meat. Staff is knowledgeable. You may want to call ahead to ensure they have the cut you are looking for.

Andrew Thompson

Love it. Great staff, great meat.

Andrew Howell

Great as always

Barbara Gregory

Beef came well packaged, ice cold, and I like that it was not frozen. Steak I had last pm was wonderful. I will buy more products from them!

My guest wanted lamb for Thanksgiving. I'm not a fan of such meat, but wanted to accommodate their wishes. One of my guest took over the full menu preparation, to include recommending Porter Road Butchers. The lamb shoulder was a beautiful cut of meat. My guest prepared it in a crock pot as she worked on the other courses for our feast. Fresh turnip greens, mashed potatoes, baked macaroni and cheese, brussel sprouts, hot rolls and a blueberry cobbler topped the evening. Thank you, Porter Road Butchers for the best lamb I've ever experienced. You'll see me again soon.

Steve Papendick

Incredible meat quality. Sous vide a bone in pork chop and one of the best I ever had. Can’t wait to try other cuts of meat. Paid less for better quality than local meat store. Will not shop anywhere else now.

Julie Farrar

Low selection at the end of the day, but the service and quality of the remaining product is excellent!

Young Mi Park

I haven't tasted them yet, but servicev was good and friendly.

Carter Harkins

My wife and I have been getting pasture raised, grass-fed meats and sausages from PRB since day one. The guys at the shop are absolutely the most knowledgeable and passionate butchers you'll find, not just in Nashville, but probably on the planet. You know they love good food from the moment you walk in, and you know they love their customers as soon as they say hello. This weekend I attended the hog butchering demo they do every month, and I had so much fun. I learned a lot, not just about how to cut up a side of pork, but also a tremendous amount about how these "happy pigs" are raised and treated. I am hooked for life!

Michael Cash

Great place to buy all kinds of meat and spices. Won't go anywhere else!!!

Frank Todd

CHEESE!!!!! This place is great for a ton of reasons but honestly the cheese lady is the best thing here! She did our wedding meat and cheese boards for us and will help you pick from her great selection that she constantly changes. Cant say enough about how great she is and we will be so sad to leave in a few months....really just a great spot overall.

Phil Dean

I bought a slab of bacon it was amazing

The meat

I ordered a few different cuts of beef online and had it delivered to me in Virginia Beach. They have a great selection of cuts as well as chicken, pork and lamb. I also use Butcher Box who I am very happy with, however Porter Road has a much wider variety of products. The animals are humanely reared which is the main reason I will continue to order from Porter Road, however they also have a better selection of cuts than I can find locally. The beef was good quality, it is finished on grain which I really like. Everything arrived cold and the vacuum packs were all intact, I like that the beef arrives fresh rather than frozen also. The packing is all recyclable / biodegradable which is great too. The company is very responsive via email also which is nice. I don’t have a subscription, I like how I can just order what I want when I want it rather than being tied to a certain amount with a subscription. They do have subscription options available also if that’s something you’re interested in. I look forward to more great orders in the future.

Cynthia Coletti

Tasty meat items with breakfast available in or to go.

Rachel Carr

Cheese selection nails it every time. Lots of local spices, jams, sauces, etc to purchase in the shop in addition to meats.

Aixia Burstiner

Nice service and very helpful! Got a few items that will be cooked soon!

Brandon Paul

I've only had the pleasure of patronizing the West Nashville location and these folks know their buisness.As you are being waited on you can feel the compassion they have for their trade.I have visited there probably 10 times trying about 20 different products. Spot on every time.

Justin Harding

Good service. Good place to get some speciality items. The only and most important downside is the expensive cost but that comes from East Nashville location. Needed duck breast and PRB was the only one available but was it at a cost. Double the price of Houston’s in Mount Juliet. $18 to $36...pretty excessive. Any place in Nashville will be expensive.

Jeff Rayvid

It was phenominal The pork ribs were to die for.

Bert Carroll

They are all about the meat here. In-House meat cuts and sausage, curated selection of bread and cheese. The staff is knowledgeable and gives good suggestions (and samples). Note that it is not on Porter Rd.

Rick V3lli

Amazing meat!

John Milano

I really can't tell you why their meats taste so much better than any others, even local grass fed meat at other places, but they really do. I highly recommend their bone-in pork chops.

Victor l Thomas

Great butcher great service really nice

Carlos Davis

Feels like an episode of " Cheers". Great guys. Very knowledgeable. Must try lamb sausage.

Eric Zahn

Best place to get some quality meat.

Nick Grace

Super fresh and responisbly sourced meat! Go in and ask questions. They will have answers.

Albert Estrada

I have tried local butchers, different online meat markets, nothing has compared to the quality and little details that Porter Road provides. They don't freeze meats that affects the quality with you doing so. Highly recommended !

Brandt Gomez

We've been going here every weekend for about 2-3 years. Porter Road Butcher has changed many things in our lives just with their amazing meat. They're trustworthy and always able to help when you talk to them about a recipe you're trying or when you don't quite know how to cook a certain kind of meat. They're very friendly to regulars like us and newcomers alike and it's good to know the meat is being raised as humanely as possible, plus it puts any other meat out there to shame as far as taste goes. Go here on a special occasion or go here every week, and you've possibly never made a better decision.

This is a great butcher shop. Local farms Beef Lamb Pork Yum yum
