Commitment to Quality and Freshness
At Max Butcher Shop Co, freshness isn’t just a buzzword—it’s our promise. Local shoppers routinely tell us they’re impressed by meat that arrives daily, never lingering in display cases. Whether it’s a tender steak for dinner or hearty stew meat for Sunday supper, you can trust every cut to meet—and often exceed—your expectations. Clean glass cases and well-chilled displays guarantee that each steak, roast, or rack of ribs looks as good as it tastes.

From everyday staples to specialty offerings, our selection spans everything you need: succulent pork chops, bone-in chicken, flavorful sausages, and beyond. Adventurous cooks will delight in our bison options, a rare find that adds excitement to any menu. Shoppers have marveled at our lineup—from grass-fed beef to exotic game cuts—proving there’s always something new to discover at Max Butcher Shop Co.
Tailored Service: Custom Cuts and Personalization
What truly sets us apart is our dedication to personalization. Our skilled butchers listen carefully to your needs, slicing each piece to the precise thickness and portion size you request. Need bite-sized pieces for stir-fry? Consider it done. Preferring a thick, hearty cut for the grill? We’ve got you covered. This hands-on attention ensures you take home exactly what you envisioned. Customers love that they can request the perfect Steak Milanesa or ask for super-thin sirloin slices that cook in minutes.
Our Star Selections: Lamb, Steak Milanesa, Sirloin, and Bison
A standout item on our menu is undeniably our lamb. Patrons consistently name it the “best thing” they’ve tasted, returning time and again to savor its tender, flavorful promise. Equally popular are our Steak Milanesa and precision-cut sirloin steaks, which emerge from our display case ready to star in your favorite recipes. And for those who crave something truly unique, our bison steaks—lean, flavorful, and sustainably sourced—add an adventurous touch to weeknight dinners and special-occasion feasts alike.
A Clean, Welcoming Boutique Atmosphere

We’ve cultivated a boutique-style atmosphere where every detail—from the polished countertops to the neatly organized spice racks—reflects our commitment to excellence. Our shop isn’t just a place to buy meat; it’s a welcoming environment where you can chat recipes, share cooking tips, or simply enjoy friendly conversation.
