Thank you, Walden Local! My dog loves his Beef Knuckle bone!! They are so friendly and helpful in here. I had a quick conversation with the butcher but left knowing I will be back soon because of how nice they were!

Visited the store and found the jowl and pig cheek. The guys are very knowledgeable and meat are super fresh. I can't wait to taste. So glad it is in south end!

Go check these guys out, and a beer and wine license to pair with your meat!

Getting meat from walden is one of the best things we have done so far when it comes to quality, price and service. We started with the basic order and after few months we increased to something unique to what we really need. The eggs are the freaking best but also the beef stock, hearts, livers and tongue if you feel like experimenting with textures and flavors profiles . Or the chicken taste like a chicken should taste like...I can't buy meat at the regular stores now since the color and flavor of walden is just the closest thing I had to when I use to raise my own cows, chicken and pigs. Thank you for creating something very well needed and I will support you business and send more people your way. Cheers. I am hungry now.

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.

We are thinking of joining the share program and want to try the meat first, so took the 45 mile trip this morning to South Boston and visited the butcher shop. We bought quite a bit and had the best beef jerky we ever had on our way home. Haven't cooked up any of the meat yet, but we are excited! The "guys" in the shop were very helpful and knowledgeable. I have been a vegetarian since March for the simple reason I don't want to participate in the industrial farming/slaughter of unhealthy animals. I had beef today and am looking forward to trying the chicken.

Welcome to the neighborhood! This place is welcoming and sources local meats. If you want something in particular you can even call and request it. I'm excited they are in the South End!

Straight up best quality meat in the city... but it’s also a great experience. Great customer service. Educational for kids too.

Love Walden! This is the way to support local farms and small businesses that are raising animals the right way. Plus with a butcher shop like this you can get cuts you want and try new cuts. Great staff, have always been really helpful.

Awesome meat - unfriendly staff that ruins the experience

Patrick Williams

Always super high quality product with friendly and knowledgeable staff

Matt Cole

I've never had a bad experience here, after years of being a member of their monthly meat subscription service, and buying all of my special holiday meal mains here. Whoever thinks the staff is unfriendly must have been having a bad day.

Karen Yee

Great products and knowledgeable staff. Loved their sausage making class!

Jeff Riley

Superb cuts of meat. Along with great knowledge service.

Luke Turner

Great approach to food, top quality meat and the staff always provide good advice on new cuts to try.

Jacob Swe

Best quality and prices in the Boston area. They were super helpful in making sure I got exactly what I needed, and had a pretty great wine and beer pairing section as well. It’s so refreshing to see a whole animal butcher, feels like the meat is respected and extremely high quality. For such a great service, the prices are also similar if not lower than at chain supermarkets. There’s no where else I am going to be buying my meat from now on.

Great selection of cuts plus the guys are very helpful and knowledgeable, looking forward to come back again since this was my first time.

Nice to see a true butcher shop in this day of supermarkets. Nice looking cuts at a reasonable price. Staff was willing to do custom cuts.

Samuel Lockwald

Kyle Jean

Love it!

Alex Zhu

Dealing with professionals here; these guys know meat

Paul Vancheri

Great people and best meats around!

Ethan Farris

First, I reserved a specific piece of meat that was then given to someone else. Then reserved a second piece of meat that was not ready by the time initially promised to me. Not sure what the hype is about this place, but go elsewhere! Better meat and service is close by.

Carmen Stra

Awesome

Jordan Vallinino

Freshest and tastiest meat around. The quality is far superior to any other option and the ability to pre-order custom cuts is awesome. I won’t be going anywhere else.
