The Organic Butcher of McLean

My absolute favorite shop for all meat purchases. All staff members are always so nice and knowledgeable, especially Nick. At one point, I didn't make it in for several months, and Nick remembered my name. It meant a lot that he remembered me. Just shows you're not a number or just a customer, and they value everyone that enters their door. I highly recommend the quality is top-notch.

The meat here is amazing. I made sukiyaki in Washington. I was satisfied! I brought back spices to Japan! I definitely want to go again.

Big Big fan of this place.
As a Brit that's been in and out of the DMV for the last 5 years I've finally found a butcher that feels like home. It has that friendly feel to it and the guys are always up for giving advice when asked.
The English style bacon is obviously a big plus from me too (Albeit not 100% perfect but as good as I've found anywhere stateside).
And the Brisket on a saturday morning, my god. Makes getting up on the weekend worthwhile!

Awesome steaks. Crazy prices but worth it.

Stopped for a rib roast. Place was packed. Went up to register to see if they had any. Next I know he shows me what they have ( last one 6lber) they trimmed it up by cutting off extra bone which put price down and got me out of there without standing in line and made sure I got my roast! Thanks guys and Happy Easter

The best butcher in Fairfax.

Wide selection of high-quality meat and fish, plus other odds and ends. All of the meat I've bought here has been excellent. Friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful staff. Expensive but worth it.

Best place to get the best quality meats and seafood

Been shopping here for all our meats, chicken, pork and seafood since 2018 and couldn't imagine shopping anywhere else. The cases are always full of selections and the service is impeccable.

Saw the Google reviews and decided to make a trip with my husband and OH MY GOSH! Wonderful selection and everything we've eaten so far has been fantastic! Great sausages and hot dogs and we also picked up some sourdough bread while we were there which is also yummy! Place is very small and parking is a bit rough but worth visiting nonetheless! Everyone was very friendly and helpful too!

The Organic Butcher of McLean is the spot for anyone who takes their health — and their taste buds — seriously. It’s not your average butcher shop; it’s more like a curated experience for meat lovers. From bison and ostrich to a great selection of seafood, they’ve got it all.

But what really sets them apart is how they treat their customers. The team here doesn’t just sell you meat — they get to know you, your preferences, and what you’re cooking up. It’s like walking into a friend’s kitchen where they always have the best recommendations. They’re absolute gurus when it comes to sourcing top-quality, organic options.

And if you’re a bread lover (who isn’t?), you’re in luck. They carry fresh sourdough delivered straight from A Baked Joint in DC. It’s the kind of bread that makes you question why you ever settled for grocery store loaves.

If you’re looking for that rare blend of expertise and genuine hospitality, this is your place. Whether you’re trying something adventurous or sticking to the classics, The Organic Butcher of McLean makes every visit feel like you’re part of the family. Highly recommend!

Pro tip: buy the ostrich and bison ground beef, mix together to make meatballs and smoke them using a crockpot with a built in smoker or just a regular outdoor smoker….amazing!!

Oh wow, I started to try this butcher after multiples disappointments over Balducci’s meat, what tremendous differences. Love everything I brought home, will come back over and over again. Thank you.

We tried something he recommended (the name is on the picture), and it was delicious—possibly the best meat I’ve ever had! Even though I’m not a great cook, I managed to make it myself. I will definitely recommend it to my friends and family.

Super friendly, high quality meats. We got a ton of different cuts of bison. Highly recommend.

Tinier than the Bethesda shop, but same quality - best butchers in the DMV by far!
