Robert Colson

A bunch of hard workers who are sincere, knowledgeable, and approachable. I come here to get the best meat from the best people. Trustworthy.

Thomas Merchel

Somerville's best local butcher shop. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. A wide selection of delicious meats 10/10

Erica Browning

This is what meat should be. Locally raised pork, beef, lamb, sometimes chickens. They also make their own sausages and bacon which are all awesome. Good eggs as well. And my dog goes nuts over their house made dog treats. Recently joined their "meat share" which is a great deal.

High quality!

Kamal Patel

I really like this place. I came to get some beef liver, which they didn't have. About to be bummed, they offered up lamb liver. Success. The guy was really easy going and friendly, and I ended up getting the liver, some ground beef, and lamb bones. Next time: bangers and maybe pork belly?

Donal Waide

Quality staff and meat, but only eat the latter.

Matt Piontkowski

No antibiotics, no hormones in any of the meats and the meats are sourced in a 100 mile radius. If you call ahead they will make every effort to put aside a particular cut you are interested, even if it's not that common. This place is everything a top tier butcher should be!

Max Roberts-Zirker

Love this place, so I drive from Roslindale every month to be part of their meat club. Some of the friendliest and most helpful people at any business - special shout out to Max - and the meat is awesome!

My favorite group of people in the neighborhood! MF dulock is AMAZING.The quality of their meat is excellent, it reminds me of the great beef that we have back home in Argentina. The pork, lamb, chicken and beef cuts are truly spectacular. This is the best butcher's that I have ever been to in the US! On top of that the people who work here are super friendly and they will help you find the right cut for your meal.

This is such a great shop and the quality can't be beat! I have been here many times and have always found it to be a great purchasing experience. The butchers at the counter never once seem troubled to answer my questions or accommodate a request. Definitely worth a stop!

Sam Melnick

I was given a gift card here because I love good meat (NO JOKES). Overall very quality. A couple of key points: 1. They are very good with recommendations - so don't be shy...ask for help! 2. What they have varies day-to-day, hour-to-hour, so be flexible. 3. The prices are high, so don't go here then complain, you should know what you are getting into. 4. The quality is great and you can have a clear conscience about the source. -1 star because of the price, but if you want quality this is the place.

Colin Britton

A real meat education. If you love cooking then this is the place to buy your meat. This is not a pile it high place but fresh in shop butchered cuts. Talk to a real butcher and learn about what you buy.

James Wagner

The only butcher shop i got to in the Boston area.

Denis Malkov

Favorite new spot in town. Nicest, most knowledgable guys with great recommendations. And seriously the most amazing homemade bacon I've ever tasted in my life...

Lee Movic

My vegetarian girlfriend only eats meat from here. 'Nuff said. Okay, maybe a few more words: try the beef jerky when it's available, and the smoked pork jowl, and any of the inventive, regularly rotating house-made sausages, and the whole pigs head (low and slow). Ask as many questions as you'd like. The staff is among the most knowledgeable in the business.

Matt Molyneux

This shop has everything for those serious about quality of meat and knowledgeable, skilled butchery. I have been everywhere in the area- this is the only place for the best of everything.

Chris Betti

Incredible professionalism, patience, and craftsmanship through the years. I couldn't recommend M.F. Dulock more.

suzanne Ruby

We made the best split pea soup ever with the smoked ham hock—thank you thank you thank you. The quality of meat here is always fantastic.

Sam King

While I appreciate ethical farming practices, it isn’t the driving force behind my decision making process. I was given a 2.48 lbs bone in, prime cut, rib eye for an early Christmas present. I reverse seared at 275• with only a salt/pepper/onion powder/brown sugar rub, sparsely decorating the glorious striations of marbling on this beast. I brought it out to rest at 120• internal for about 10 minutes and then tortured it for a minute per side on a screaming hot, well seasoned cast iron 12”er. What resulted was obviously the most perfectly prepared, medium-rare steak you could possibly ask for, obviously, but I didn’t come here to share my prep methods, I came here to tell you that out of the hundreds, possibly thousands of steaks I’ve eaten over the course of my life, this was hands down, the tastiest, most flavourful steak I have ever had the pleasure of consuming. The marbling was generous and healthy, the meat was tender and supple, I could taste the happiness that this cow experienced in it’s life, I could taste the first time it ever experienced the pleasure of a slow stroll through spring fields, the happiness of chewing a cud next to your bff, the simple pleasure of being respected as a living and breathing being. I loved that steak and I love that cow, it is a part of me now. Thank you M.F Dulock

Neil Sharma

High quality, local, independent, and really nice, knowledgeable staff. I love getting my meat from these guys...

Lillie Pendleton

I don’t like that you show meat to the open world. My daughter comes home to me crying when she walks by seeing you cut open animals after school. I don’t find it very appropriate that she has told me she saw hearts, heads and other gross body parts in a bin under a table. This is udderly nauseating and children shouldn’t see this. This has caused my family including my daughter and I to go vegetarian. I can’t believe that you would show something so shocking to pedestrians in town. I had give 1 star because unfortunately I can’t post a review with out a star, otherwise this would get 0 stars! Put up a curtain please!!!!

Kelsey coffin

The pork chop we got was amazing and they were very help5 and nice.

Angela Spillane

Great shop! Love that I can trust where their meats come from and the staff are always friendly and knowledgeable. Highly recommend!

Chris Saccardi

I'm a vegetarian and even I'm impressed with this place. Friends and family have loved everything we have gotten here from the hand-made sausage to all kinds of cuts of meat. Service is consistently friendly and helpful and they don't mind answering questions or making recommendations. A great place to go if knowing exactly where your meat came from is important.

Trixie Belden

M.F. Dulock is hard to beat for fresh meat. It's a beautiful shop that sells choice meat. You can't make a more responsible and delicious choice. They source all their meat locally. They are educated in the craft of butchery and understand food-centric people and all our quirky needs. Worth the effort and the costs. I used to shop at Savenor's until I found this place. They aren't a commodity purveyor, so they may not always have what you thought you wanted, but they are able to recommend substitutions, that I can verify work. I also note, the shop is small, so no broths, lards and other convenience products -- maybe one day (hint).

Paul Marquis

Pleasant and knowledgeable staff with fantastic food. I've gotten the freshest steak and stew beef I've ever had. I would leave more stars if I could.

Bill Ames

Delicious meat and very helpful staff; contact them on Tuesday if you want to special-order a cut.

Nicolás César
