Fantastic quality. My new favorite butcher. Beautiful cuts of meat. The brats are the best Ive ever had. They identify the local farms where the animals came from. Honestly its a best-case scenario for a local butcher. Prices are a bit higher than the cheapest corporate meat you can source locally, but is that any surprise? Id rather pay a little more and get the best possible quality. And with Carne, you only have to pay a little more, not even a lot more. Availability of specific meats at specific times is still a crapshoot, given their small size and limited stock on hand, but I expect this will improve as their customer base and their volume grows. I have no association with this business other than I am a very happy customer and recommend it highly to anyone else who likes to buy quality, locally sourced meats. Short of raising and butchering an animal yourself, this is the best possible source of fresh, local meat. No other store (not even the Market on Lakeway) can compare to this level of local quality.

Everyone at Carne was amazingly helpful and nice. I ordered a few things, including some oxtails, which can be hard to find fresh. Not only did they cut those up for me, they were really helpful with recipes and tips on how to cook them. Everything I purchased from them cooked up beautifully and tasted like a dream. Comparing regular store bought meat to their selection of organic, grass-fed meat is like comparing fake spray cheese to a well-aged brie - there is really no comparison. IMO, the prices may be a little more than you may find in the grocery store, but the product is so much more in quality that it definitely worth the price, especially for local organic. I cannot recommend them high enough. Please go. Carne will not let you down.

If you’re not shopping for protein at Carne, you’re missing out. My wife and I are long-time customers and buy all of our meat here. On our first Whole Foods shopping trip we decided to swing by the meat department just to take a gander…it was immediately clear that their selection is of lesser quality. A Whole Foods steak looks like a Carne pork chop. ‘Nuff said. Don’t let a mega-retailer with an inferior product snuff out an amazing local business!

You can taste the hiqh quality difference in all the products. I am slowly working my way through all their offerings, and everything has been fabulous. Im not a big hamburger fan, but I purchased the ground a week ago and made hamburgers. With no fixings, condiments, nothing, absolutely naked, the burger was the best I have ever had - its not my cookin, its the meat.

This is actually Anns husband, Scott, because Im the meat-eater in the family. If youve been buying beef in a grocery store or, heaven help you, Costco, you have a wonderful surprise waiting for you at Carne. Try a ribeye or tri-tip steak. It could change your life.

A young, but growing company. The selection was impressive for being all GMO free, local, grass fed & finished. Well be back for sure, please pass it on. We need butchers like this!!!!

Better meat than youll get elsewhere (though the pieces reflect that). The hamburger is stellar and will make you scoff at the very idea of grocery store patties on your summer grill.

Went there yesterday, and had exceptional service. The meat selection is wonderful and priced competitively. The veal/pork brat is one of the best I have had!

Fred Meyers on Lakeway has better quality (USDA Prime) steak. Old world Deli, or Whole Foods have everything else you need.

Carne is an Old School Butcher Shop. They offer the best meats in Bellingham and will custom cut to your desire.
