RUDE service over the phone in the butcher shop. Whatever girl is in there working today - not cool. Me: "do you have fresh ground turkey?" Her (in a curt tone): "No, absolutely not." Who talks like that to a customer? Then she says, as if Im an idiot, "Were completely out of turkeys." Me: "Im talking about ground turkey, not a whole turkey." Cue brief pause. Her: "No, we dont have any." Get a clue Local Pig. You want people to shop here, dont treat them like gum on the bottom of your shoe. A, "no sorry, were out" or "sorry, we dont carry that, have a nice day" would have sufficed and maybe enticed me to come in and check out your other products.

When Local Pig first opened I swooned so hard. I loved that one could buy locally raised meats along with other add one. But what I loved the most was the ability for patrons to use EBT cards (food stamps), making this amazing food available to everyone. I was sad to stop by recently and hear that they no longer accept EBT. I was also not impressed with the staff on this latest visit. They seemed rather curt. When I am paying a premium price for a premium product, I feel that its not too much to ask to have overly friendly customer service. All in all still a great product. Just a few disappointments.

Went it to check visuals on some chuck roast for the cuban dish ropa vieja and was greeted by friendly staff and welcoming environment. All prices are up on the board and they even have the names of the farms from where they get their meats! They were cutting meats fresh nearby so not for the faint of heart but super interesting to watch. The Pigwich outside has AWESOME sandwiches so 10/10 would recommend hitting them up. They also sell quality lard at a fair price- going to use some to make tradition Pan Cubano tonight!

These guys are "the real deal". This is the "butcher shop" that was considered an essential part of every town, in our parents our grandparents day. They epitomize the term "local business", and are a perfect example of the kind of business that can fuel an economic renaissance in towns and cities all over America. A provider of Real Food by a real "small business". Want to learn some skills for sustainable animal foods? These guys offer CLASSES! How cool is that? Check em out... good folks doing amazing work. Kudos

I go here one or twice a month to stock up. I usually get their bacon and it is probably the best bacon I have ever had in my entire life. I usually buy a few 1/2 lbs. packets and gift wrap them to friends who live out of town. After trying it, they make it a point to stop in and get some when they are in Kansas City. Their sausages are great - at least the ones Ive tried. Its a little pricier than your typical grocery store, but thats to be expected for excellent meat.

These guys are awesome, their service is fantastic and they know everything about all the meat they sell. Two words: LAMB BACON. Try it - you wont go back. Just make sure youre sitting down when you place that glorious piece of meat in your mouth, you might pass out from mouth orgasm. It has happened before. Brats here are a little more than at a standard grocery store, however, they are of much higher quality. The breakfast sausage is incredible.

I love The Local Pig. This place has locally sourced meats most of which are grassfed. The staff is very knowledgeable and friendly. They have their pigwich food truck out back if you are looking for some lunch as well. Most if not all the sausages are nitrate free. The summer sausage and salami are party pleasers. Next time you attend an event be sure to stop in and grab meats for entrees or appetizers and you will not be disappointed.

There are no conveyor belts or plastic dehydrated meat substitutes prepared here - the butchers can be seen behind the counter preparing everything by hand and wrapping it in parchment. Their meat has a uniquely delicious taste perhaps related to its freshness and lack of preservatives. They also offer butcher boxes which are an assortment of their freshest cuts on a scheduled day so you dont have to choose. Try their restaurant outside.

our good friend, who is one of the premier caterers in Kansas City, took us here for lunch the first day of our visit to KC. The food is incredible - fresh in both concept and actuality - great delicious sandwiches and really great butcher shop. I asked for a sample of the coconut head cheese and the kind guy behind the counter gave me a whole slice to share with our entourage. Delicious and innovative both!

BUYER BEWARE!!! If you like GMOs this place is for you. Their unnatural beef is 100% corn fed and the supplier said he cant guarantee its non-GMO so its probably 100% GMO!!! It seems that one of their pork suppliers and their chicken supplier are non-GMO, but all the other suppliers are probably GMO!!! One of the employees there said all the meat is non-GMO, but that is total BS!!! BUYER BEWARE!!!

Man! This place has some good meats. Tried their beef bacon. Not really like pork bacon. More like steak bacon. So Im calling it steakon. Also picked up some scrapple. Not an easy thing to find in KC. As far as I know they are the only place that has it. And you guessed it. Its just as grate as everything else they offer. I will be going back for sure. Well worth it. Thanks local pig!

Generally good meat, though pricey. However: Do NOT make the mistake of buying a tamale. They are large, and look like one of the few good deals here, but only until you dig in and spend the next ten minutes searching for any sign of actual meat. You wont find much. But then, if youre the type who enjoys a bellyfull of spiced cornmeal, youll love it.

This review is for PIGWICH......Filthy kitchen!!! All kinds of issues! General lack of respect for cleanliness, or any concern when cooking. ......touching raw meat, then the spatula, didnt wash hands at all that i could see. ....cross contamination and breeding ground for all sorts of nastiness!!! If you value your health DO NOT EAT HERE!!!!

Stumbled upon this place and dicovered sandwiches that are down right delicious. I love finding out of the way places and trying out the food and Pigwich did NOT dissapoint. They have daily specials and are right across the street from Knuckleheads. I highly recommend the Meatloaf patty melt.

This place was a gold mine of delicious food and welcoming people. My boyfriend and I ate at the food truck (so good and mouthwatering) and took home steaks, breakfast sausage and bones for our dogs. Everyone in my house hold ate like kings.

Come and get some fresh, local and sustainable produced meats. Grass fed beef, hand carved by local celebrity chef Alex Pope and his wonderful crew. Flavored sausages, steaks, air cured wholesome burgers. Very reasonable for the high quality.

This is a great place! I always buy up the sausages and tamales! Even tried lamb bacon and head cheese for my first time! They were delicious! Love their sandwiches and homemade potato chips! I recommend the pigwich!!
