Thoroughly love this store, and thrilled they’re in my neighbourhood.
We purchased a charcuterie box for our most recent train trip, and it was amazing. Highly recommended

This place serves only the best meats and foods with a friendly knowledgeable staff to help find the right thing for you. It had been awhile since my last visit but anyone living near by should be happy they do. Go there now and buy something to BBQ you wont regret it!

Incredible butcher’s who are knowledgeable and helpful! They prepared this gorgeous porchetta for us and it is a beauty! Can’t wait to serve this up to our guests. This is not my first experience shipping here - their meat is excellent every time (oh, and the BEST bacon around)! They also have an excellent selection of fine foods. Customer service is outstanding. Please pay them a visit - you will not be disappointed.

Wow amazing meat at good prices! Great customer service too.

Top notch butcher !! Knowledgeable, personable, and high grade products. They carry "primal kitchen" seed oil free dressings which is rare these days. I highly recommend this shop to anyone trying to eat healthy and support local !

Tried them for the first time, had a gathering of critics and this butcher shop came through. Fed 9 people with left overs with an amazing price for the quality given (really fresh). Friendly staff and helpful. My go to spot from now on…..

Really amazing quality meat at great prices. Even their pickles and add ons are super good! Friendly staff, clean environment and abiding social distancing guidelines amazingly.
I've tried their ribs, chicken breasts, steaks, hot dogs, brisket burgers, bacon and pork chops. The quality is above and beyond, won't be buying my meat anywhere else, ever again. Be sure to check out this great butcher shop.

Amazing meat selection and very good customer service. I've called numerous times for general advice with cooking/prepping meat and they have always been extremely helpful. Highly recommend this hidden gem.
Vanessa Schmidt
Always so helpful and friendly! This small shop carries a well-curated selection of tasty food. I picked up their pre-made Pho for a quick weeknight meal and it was perfection! Highly recommend stopping in.

Just walked in right as they opened after a nice Good Friday off and laid down a big list and asked some questions as well. They didnt even miss a step. Fantastically helpful and answered all of my questions. Super glad they could order me some bison! My favourite burger meat! Thank you Alex for your excellent service and asking whether I wanted things packaged per lbs. Makes my future cooking very easy. A great family owned business, couldnt be more jazzed about it. Much obliged.

A Delicious Christmas dinner made even better with stuffing sausage and gravy to make the cooking alittle easier. Their delicious bacon was used for just about every dish. A great family run business with very yummy items.

I have yet to find a more friendly and helpful butcher shop. It is well worth going out of your way to visit and pick up some gorgeous products. David and his team go out of their way to answer questions and provide outstanding service. Very highly recommended.

We have been using Around the Block Butcher going on 16 years now. They are very helpful, friendly and very service based. Throughout the years we have grown to love this butcher shop and their products. Thank you to all the employees at Around the Block Butcher for the great service and products, it is very much appreciated.

Live in Nepean and got tired of grocery store meat. Beef is so expensive that it doesn't happen often. I decided next time I buy steak it's going to be worth while. Best strip steak I've ever had. The colouring and marbling were amazing and it tasted better than it looked. Their flank steak is also top notch. (a new favourite). Staff is super cool and very happy to give advice and answer questions.
Great place and zero regrets.

Sick hidden gem! Service was phenomenal. The boys were all very nice, accommodating, and knowledgeable. Products are all of very high quality.

My family has been buying meat from this place which is the only place that has the hospitality and customer service that will never be found in one of those big box stores. One of the last truly family run establishments around.
Daniel Anderson
They have very good turkeys & great meat & very nice staff

We live in Kanata but happened to need ground lamb on the way home from Hog's Back area. I looked up "butcher shops" on the maps and it led me here. What a treat. We were met with eager service and even though they didn't have any lamb ground, and I only needed one pound, the butcher offered to clean the entire grinder and grind some for me while we waited! Now I'll know to call ahead to make sure what I need is available but otherwise, this is exactly what I would hope for in a neighbourhood butcher. I will definitely make a trip back for this service and quality, local products. Thanks, guys!
Andrew Norman
Great shop! Just tried a couple of mexican sausages along with some chops and my 4 year-old at all of the sausage. Going back for more soon.
Danielle Dion
BEST customer service around! I am vegetarian and my boyfriend is not so I always encourage him to buy local and we are both so happy we finally tried Brian's! He has tried the ground beef (best burgers ever he said) and he treated himself to the dry aged rib steak and sirloin...the staff was so wonderful with helping on grilling instructions and so patient with all of our questions...my bf said he didn't realize steak could taste that good! Thank YOU Brian's for your great local product but also for some of the best customer service in Ottawa, that is what we will keep us coming back!
Justin Van Leeuwen
Fantastic and high quality meat (and other prepared items) selection. Incredible service in an atmosphere of true craft and passion.
Deborah Lynne
Their Mexican sausages were the most delicious I've ever had!
Sweet Rhubarb
Amazingly good quality, and the most enthusiastic staff in town!

Possibly the best sandwich in Ottawa. Great place for sandwiches or butcher. Staff are friendly, sandwich area has a nice simple menu with awesome choices and the butchery has great products at great prices.

Good sandwiches. I've been going to Brians for over a year. They make tasty sandwiches and panini sandwiches. When I first tried their sandwiches, they made them big. The bread was large and would add a lot of meat. ever since I've become a regular eating once a week, their breads have shrunk significantly and put half the amount of meat they use to. observance I've noticed which slowly, but has happened.
Better IS Better
Little Butchershop that CAN!. Five for Five. Those are the reviews of co-workers on Brian's NEW sandwiches. Bread from Art-is-an Bakery. Simple. Simply Great. See Shetler'd girls blog.<br/><br/>Brian's has been part of the food-community since 1981. Their new website has just launched. All can be forgotten once you have tried their new sandwiches.<br/><br/>Brian's has been Ottawa's untold secret. Quality matches value in this small butchershop. Organic eggs, O'Brien's Beef all staples in Ottawa's finest restaurants available here at phenomenal prices
Katy Watts
They are known in the food community for their attention to detail, incredible passion and their (special request only) 35 day dry aged steaks
