This is really the only butcher in town, it is expensive but they have good quality products ( wish they would carry more organics). Moving here from north-western VA, we got most of our meats from small stores directly from local farms which were much cheaper than Belmont-- shame ( and strange) its more pricey here in Richmond. Honestly though, as much as their products are good, I dont enjoy going there as everyone is terribly grumpy. My family and I laugh about it - but I dont get it! They will tell you exactly what you need to know about cooking your meal with their products, but dont expect to feel warm and fuzzy from the delivery of their answers!

I dont understand all these positive reviews. The customer service was terrible. The owner would rather talk to her friend than help a customer. I was not even acknowledged. Even after patiently waiting I was talked down to about what I wanted to order. It was not sliced the way I needed it to be. (Which Ive been able to do at other butcher shops) The owner even made a racist remark while I was there. I support local businesses whenever I can. However I will not be supporting this one. Ive also heard that she has sued several other local competitors which rubs me the wrong way as well. Build community. Dont tear it down.

Old school style butchery with friendly and knowledgeable staff! Pretty steep prices, but if you want to explore something different, or if youre looking for some nice charcuterie to compliment a cheese plate, this is the place to go! When youre there: I suggest you ask the staff "whats good?" when they get to you. Trust these guys, theyll show you some AWESOME food! Seriously, dont go in there with your heart set on anything specific. Youll be pleasantly surprised if you simply talk to the guy behind the counter.

I went back for the second time now and got ribeye steaks that were pasture raised about an hour from here. In a rather unscientific study, I cooked them alongside a couple from a supermarket just to see if there was a noticeable difference. Everyone who compared agreed the steaks from Belmont were hands down much better. The staff is so helpful and the meat seems so fresh. I dont think I will buy steaks anywhere else again.

I go to this butcher shop about twice a month for select cuts. They are a knowledgeable staff and have a nice selection of local meats. Ask them questions and ask for recommendations, and they will educate. On a suggestion, I tried their Bacon Ground Beef (ground beef with bacon pork cuts), and Im hooked. I get this when it is available.

I have been to Belmont approximately five times now. Everytime I go in there, I get friendly and informative service. They know what they are doing for sure. They have some of the best, fresh sausage that I have had. Being 100% Italian, I appreciate their knowledge of Italian meats, cheeses, breads and wines. It is a fine establishment!

I come in to get casings to make sausage at home. Almost always leave with additional stuff - and its always great. Staff is knowledgeable and engaging. I like to take my time and listen to them talk with other folks. Never know what interesting ideas or tips come your way.

Tanya and Co know their cuts! Never had a bad meal using their products! And they can get EXOTICS with enough notification! They had RABBIT when NO ONE ELSE DID TWO DAYS BEFORE EASTER! Always have my "prime" cuts available!

I am transitioning to quality pasture raised meats and fats. Everyone here is so knowledgeable and helpful. I buy everything from bacon to steak. They give great advice on cuts and selection. Its a pleasure to shop at Belmont.

These guys are great! They are extremely knowledgeable and will accommodate most requests. They have a great variety of offal which I was struggling to find elsewhere. Definitely stop by and get some of the exotic cured bacon.

Great local butcher with friendly staff and nice selection of gourmet food. The meats are of excellent quality. Ability to obtain some of the rarer cuts.

This shop has got to be one of the best butcheries in the east coast, I always pick up my 12lb briskets and every time they please the crowd

Service was friendly and the quality of the meat was excellent. Might be the best grass-fed beef ive had. Pricing was average.
