I love this small volume, smart and dynamic butcher shop. I visit this place every time I come into town so I can cook for my family. The staff is fantastic and the owners are great. I wish all butcher shops were as knowledgeable and willing to help with cooking prep and ideas. Also I love the mindset of local, sustainable, healthy animal care and meat production.

Definitely a good place for steaks and smaller cuts of meat, but I wouldnt go here for anything big. I purchased a brisket here and it was the leanest brisket Ive ever seen which led to the most dry brisket Ive ever cooked. The meat had no fat and looked like tenderloin instead of brisket. Also it was like a $260 brisket when it should be priced around $60. Overall a pretty disappointing experience in terms of that piece of meat

First time shopper at Western Daughters - 10/10 experience.I was recommended this butcher by a friend of mine and thought to check it out. Whilst its a bit pricier than your supermarket, the quality here is outstanding! Everything I bought was super fresh (Bacon, Chicken, Cold Cuts of meat, sausages) so definitely will come back for a special occasion.

Best quality beef you’ll get for your money. The staff is awesome. Get a cow share! It’s worth every penny.

The Other Side Academy loves Western Daughters Butcher Shop! We have 32 students and every Saturday we have Burger Night where the students take turns grilling. Never once have we had a bad burger when we have used Westen Daughters beef, no matter how is was cooked. We appreciate that it is grass fed and local. Amanda has been so kind to our family that five stars just isnt enough!

Best quality meat you can get on the front range. Grass fed, grass finished, pasture raised entire life, humane, and fresh. The staff is very helpful and polite. Store is clean and professional . You can taste and feel the quality of this meat and they always have a fantastic variety of cuts. Thanks for blessing metro Denver with this butcher shop. One love

I ordered some meat for holiday meals here (pork belly and beef spare ribs). The meat was delicious and great quality. The location can get pretty busy, so be prepared to wait in line. The staff is super friendly, too! I wish I didnt live so far away, but Ill definitely make a point to come back. :) Thank you, Western Daughters!

I have only been a couple of times but already I love this butcher shop. The staff are all very friendly and helpful and the meat is incredibly high quality. Also, the subscription boxes that they offer have very good value and are a good way to try different cuts of meat. I would 100% recommend this place if you are looking for a local, sustainably sourced butcher shop.

Fantastic whole animal butcher. All.cuts weve tried taste so flavorful and so so different from grocery store meats. The poultry, too! Great staff, fun pantry extras in the shop, and have been savvy and smart through the pandemic. Weve been shopping here for four+ years and have had nothing but positive experiences.

Unfortunately didn’t catch their name, but came in around 4 pm today, person working the counter was super helpful. Asked what to sear, cut up, and serve to a group of 6, they suggested a lean cut of steak (merlot steak) I wouldn’t have initially tried, with advice on how to cook it and with accompanying products. After following their suggestions, it was incredible. Perfect portion size, excellent flavor, all around great stuff. Cannot wait to come back.

My wife got me 5 pounds of beef plate ribs for my birthday. She is vegan and told the person working the counter that she didnt really know what she was looking for and they helped her out.When I opened the package to start smoking, I noticed that there was a lot of fat and not much meat on the ribs. I trimmed a little bit of the fat off, but didnt want to trim too much as there wasnt much underneath.After cooking and cutting, I realized the ribs were approximately 70% fat. After eating the rib with the most meat on it, I weighed the meat from the rest of the ribs and it came out to 333 grams. Being very generous, Ill say the first rib had 300 grams of meat on it. That totals to about 1.4 pounds.Id like to give the benefit of the doubt, but it is very disappointing to pay $80 for beef ribs and only get 1.4 pounds of meat. I cant help but feel that my wife was given the portion with barely any meat on it because she doesnt eat meat and didnt know what to look for.EDIT: They have reached out and made things right. Great customer service.

Absolutely the best customer service and the best meat money can buy. Their ethics are bar none.I have been shopping here for three years, and have never been met with more patience and knowledge in a specialty shop. I come with questions, every time. Tell me about the farm, the animals, your processes, how do I prepare this?? What do you recommend to cook as a side? Everything.They respond with all the answers and then some. They always have. As an ethical vegetarian with a carnivorous partner, I wont shop anywhere else.

A bright star on a dreary apartment block. WD Butchers is a whole animal butchers who have Beef, Lamb, Chicken and Pork. Along side fresh loncally grown veg. And an amazing variety of sides, sauces and everything onw would need to cook the sh!t out of on of their 30day dry aged steaks.House made chicken broth. Bone marrow shaped into Star Wars characters. This little gem is big in sales but small in size.Only two meat heads can be in the shop at one time but trust me. Its worth the wait.5 stars for class. Selection and the coolest employees in the Highlands.

Super duper friendly staff. We walked in and the guy behind the counter explained their sourcing. We are just in Denver for visit and wanted to see what they offered. We walked out with some delicious pork ribs to eat on our walk. I’d like to call this a pork-cicle. Thanks again.

Review №31

Everything I’ve bought from here has always been very tasty. The staff are friendly and help me, a newer meat eater, pick the right cut and amount when cooking for groups of people. This is one of the only places I’ll buy meat from because of their ethics around how/where the animal was raised and their dedication to using all parts of the animal. I also appreciate their loyalty to customer satisfaction and their welcoming environment.

I was gifted a dry aged bone in New York strip and this may have been the best home cooked steak Ive ever eaten. The steak was like butter and just melted in my mouth, I was floored by the fact that I was able to cook that with my kitchen set! Thank you all for making such a superior steak and Im excited to expand my cooking skills!

Unbeatable! I came in looking for organic fresh meat, as a ranchers daughter, I grew up spoiled and the grocery store meat doesnt cut it. And I was so pleasantly surprised, you can tell they put care in their product and butcher in house, fresh and delish. So nice, also have an awesome selection of bone broth, ghee, dairy products and the like. Will be a repeat customer.

Western Daughters chicken is fantastic. Its tender, fresh, and flavorful. And the butchers are so nice, they make my cooking so easy by chopping or butterflying the chicken and it’s ready when I get there. I’m so happy they’re in our neighborhood!

Review №47

Excellent. My friend and I decided to stop in to pick up some meat to bring back to his house to grill. On the counter was a freshly cooked brisket, which we were invited to sample. Covered in salt, to push the fat back into the meat, the brisket was the most delicious brisket I have ever had. We abandoned our plans of getting meat to take back for grilling and bought a pound of the brisket. Great knowledge about locally raised meat, wonderful variety. A fantastic butcher shoppe!

The local butcher shop is a lost gem in virtually every neighborhood, but Western Daughters shines today.Weve gotten beef, pork, chicken, bratwurst, breakfast sausages, vegetables, and soups--all of which were delicious.The chicken though...the chicken is otherworldly!We regularly get a number of pieces and are blown away every time by how tender and delicious they are.Well definitely be back and recommend you go to support a local place while getting some great cuts.

Just moved to the area and happy to have this place around the block. Their sausages werent to our taste and the cuts are pricey, but my wife and I are convinced that their steaks (weve had 3 different cuts so far) are the best steaks weve ever eaten. Color is spot on, tender, juicy....olive oil, salt, pepper, grill. Cant wait to try more!

Review №64

Truly one of the most disappointing experiences I’ve had. I ordered a 12-15 pound turkey, 2 weeks in advance of Thanksgiving. The store waited until we picked up the bird 2 days before the holiday to let us discover on our own that they had sold us a smaller turkey than ordered. When I called to see about switching out for a larger turkey in order to feed our whole crowd, I was told “we got as close as we could and we’re totally sold out.” Western Daughter always has greats products and usually has exceptional service. I would not recommend ordering your thanksgiving turkey or other holiday meal though.

Super low quality meat with conceded service, will be skipping in future.Been through several times. Spent over $500 last time, $300 of it being briskets lol which is absurd but brisket is chewy and was grey when we brought it home and hard around edges with blood clots in certain spots.Straight up garbage quality for the price they charge.

We were in need of a last minute prime rib for a family BBQ last weekend. They did not have the meat were looking for initially, but after a few phones calls, they were able to make it work. They were very helpful and extremely knowledgeable. They even recommended another butcher shop in town at first when they thought they couldnt help us. Once I learned of their story using the whole animal, buying from local sources, and striving for humane and sustainable sources, I was hooked. We will definitely be back!

If I lived in the neighborhood I would probably go here occasionally for convenience. It is not worth going out of your way for. If youre young or new to going to a butcher or think Whole Foods is amazing then youll like it. If youve lived in a city that has multiple butchers that compete and need to excel, this place will be a disappointment. If yer gonna drive to go to a butcher go to Edwards or Olivers in that order. They carry enough stock to do what a butcher should be able to - cut to order.

High quality butcher shop, only one I’ve found in denver with quality meats (grass fed and pasture raised). But not your typical grass fed beef, theirs is well marbled and great tasting!

Review №83

If you want to pay $175 for a leg of lamb, and have the lamb be very happy, having been raised in a pasture with soothing music and eating nothing but the prime cuts of grass, and be lulled to sleep by nursery rhymes before it is bonked, have at it. Yes, kidding. However thats the impression I get from this and others catering to millennials who profess poverty yet are somehow able to afford cuts like this, and who detest store-bought that is probably three times cheaper at nearby Edwards. This place, while good, is waayyyy overpriced for the value. But, hipsters rejoice, this is your place!

Review №84

This has got to be the most hipster butcher shop on earth but if you dont mind paying for expensive sausages they are worth it. Ive been in here about 5 times and everything weve gotten has tasted fantastic. The sausages dont seem to have much binder in them so they kind of fall apart when you cut through the skin after cooking, its an interesting and different texture that encourages you to taste every morsel of meat. I also got pork belly from them once and they offered to slash the skin so it crisped up nicely in the oven. Staff are friendly and helpful.

Review №86

I’m not really a big reviewer but I came to this place because of their grass fed cuts. I got one of the worse filets I’ve ever had. I can appreciate that this happens sometimes but it just stands out in my mind due to its insanely high costs. Maybe costs should fluctuate on quality because I even suggested that it didn’t look the best but they assured me that it would be amazing. It was a nice place and I’m sure the meat is good sometimes. But can’t figure out how they justify such high costs.

Review №87

Far and away the best butcher I have ever been to. Extremely knowledgeable and friendly staff, happy to chat about any questions that you have and provide tips with what you are attempting to do. Whether it has been direction on curing a coppa (only place I could find that even knew what that was) for my curing chamber, or different methods of making liver pate, they are happy to help. Couldnt recommend more. It may cost a few dollars more than the meat at the local grocery, but on par with Whole Foods, and such a better product and experience, I would never consider getting a good piece of meat anywhere else.

Review №88

Organic? Safe? Grass fed? Knowledgable? Yup, you get that here. Plus, it is nice to walk in the door only knowing how to cook one thing (um, a hamburger) and be able to chat across the counter with friendly staff who directed me to a recipe. Best. Meal. Ever. If you come here every week, after a year, you ll be a gourmet chef able to cook anything. I should know, I can cook five things now (including a skirt steak with lemon grass from the spice store down the hill).

Very pleasant experience today. A female butcher offering great customer service. She may have been an owner. She seemed quite empowered, relaxed and friendly.I havent been here in years before today because the service was sometimes very unpleasant, butchers expecting tips, a ring super cool and being pissed if they did not get tips, rather than focusing on customer service.Prices are quite high, but the product is usually very good (except for some dried out ground beef I paid a lot for a few years ago, around the time I stopped coming in) and I didnt want to make the effort to complain and return it.) Glad I came in today just for the good experience in my neighborhood.
