This place is the "real deal" butcher shop. You can find anything from house-made charcuterie and sausages to a rack of lamb, and they are happy to take custom orders for the adventurous cook. Every member of the staff is extremely knowledgeable and helpful. John Brown knows where their products come from, and are committed to excellence in everything they produce, including a delicious, varied lunch menu, and other house-made deliciousness. They have a good selection of local produce, ice cream, condiments, and snack items as well. Excellent beer, liquor and wine selection available Mon-Sat. Definitely check this place out for a lunch date, sample some delicious meat products, and grab a refreshing beverage, a loaf of artisinal bread, and adult beverage to accompany your meal. And if that isn't reason enough to visit, John Brown Coffee, which is adjacent to the general butchery, makes fantastic espresso drinks!

Nice "old fashioned" store producing a real life butcher shop as well as plenty of extra offerings to choose from. They have Boylans sodas and even a few select beer and wines for sale. Full offering from the butcher from ground beef to aged cuts of beef and pork. Pricey but you get what you pay for. We will definitely be back.

Kyle Trouland

Best butcher in the area by far. Great selection of meats, and a nice variety of other foods, drinks and spices. I love the service and they are always happy to recommend different meats and will let you know the best way to prepare the food as well. Great place to stop on your way home, right off Falls road and easy to get in and out of.

All things good!!

Chelsea Molnar

This is a great local butcher shop. I appreciate that they use all local food. I recommend coming here for their meat products. The lunches are very good but can be small portions.

William Novak

Amazing sandwiches and kind staff. Huge selection of fresh meat at reasonable prices

Toni Steigerwald

Great pot roast special at lunch today ,!

Eric j

Great products and unique foods. The only notice is the approach to the staff/ register/cashiers is: no smiles when you walk in or greetings. They put off a feeling as a “you’re bothering them“ or “do you have a membership to be in here“… Kind of attitude. Other than that I wouldn’t change a thing!

Jaakko Piipponen

Excellent selection of high quality local meats.

Grant Pitcher

Patrick Smith

Jennifer Misterka

We only buy our meats from JBGB & I highly recommend them. They offer absolutely the finest selections of local and organic produce, confections, spirits and condiments. The meats are all organic, pasture raised, grass-fed (as applicable), hormone & antibiotic free. The staff and owner provide unparalleled customer service - they actually remember your name and they really strive to provide their customers with the absolute best selection at excellent prices. Go check them out, you won't be disappointed!

Joseph Casper

Fantastic!

Justin Simon

These guys have a passion for what they do and they serve a great product. It's a great combination. You can tell they're good businessmen too by the layout of the store and the ancillary products they offer their customers. Here's to continued success and longevity!

Adam Van Bavel

Fantastic local butcher and general store. My go to for high quality cuts of meat. Lunch menu items are amazing. Brunch is coming too!

Tony Antony

I would not recommend this place. I went there to order some meat, they the person in charge didn't even have the courtesy to let me know the status. Even after calling them, the manager will not return phone calls. I tried their online form, and still no reply. I ended up just canceling the order. First impressions are everything. How are they going to run a business if they can't even communicate with the customers?

Zachary Neal

I have nothing but great things to say about John Brown's. I seriously look forward to our weekly stop in, and I usually hate grocery shopping. We buy most of our meat from them at this point, and will continue to do so. The cuts are excellent and everything looks fresh. The staff are extremely friendly, patient and knowledgeable. They always seem happy to make recommendations or offer alternatives if they are out of a particular item, which hasn't happened often. There is always plenty of variety to choose from, with some additional great options rotated in, especially around the holidays. The dry aged sirloin is delectable. I've also never had better house bacon in my life. Would definitely recommend stopping in to see what they have.

John Harkness

Everything they sell is pretty damn good. Great if you want less common cuts of meat and a pretty solid coffee shop as well. Have never been unhappy with anything about this shop.

Walt MacEachern

Last of a breed. High price custom cuts, outstanding locally sourced meats. Good choice of liquor and wine. Only butcher left for 30 miles: you can’t count supermarkets at all., they don’t come close to providing any of this.

And then there was one; Ceriello, Parts & Labor, and The Pig Headed Butcher are all gone. I wanted some ground beef for burgers and remembered this spot on Falls Road. Imagine my joy when I saw that their blend is 80/20. For me fat carries the flavor and adds supple moisture. These were some of the best burgers we have ever made (Bork from The Pig Headed Butcher is still the house champ). A couple of weeks later I made dry aged NY Strips from here and was simply blown away by the flavor and texture. If you care about how good your food can be, where it comes from, and you want to support a local business and responsible farming then you owe it to yourself try this gem on Falls Road; I can’t imagine getting meat anywhere else and well, this is also the last independent high quality butcher I know of in the area.

Derek Mason

Terrific and knowledgeable staff with great ideas for all of the cuts of meat they have done onsite. The quality of the product is amazing and their relationships with local farms who care about how the animals are raised is evident. Be prepared to spend more than the standard grocery store and be convinced it was well worth every penny. Thanks for doing what you do.
