What Are the Best Meat Delivery Services?
From Omaha Steaks to ButcherBox, here are some of our favorite delivery services for getting high-quality meat sent to your house, chosen based on our own research, as well as quality, convenience, and inventory.
1. Snake River Farms
Snake River Farms was a pioneer in making American Wagyu beef accessible to ship to your door, and they’re our favorite place online to seek out premium cuts for your next special occasion. They feature everyday favorites meant to elevate your weeknight dinners (think American Wagyu hot dogs), and holiday staples like their acclaimed Kurobuta Ham.
All you have to do is choose your cuts individually (or a preferred size), or spring for one of Snake River Farms’ subscription boxes with themes like “Butchershop Favorites” to “The Griller’s Pack”, and even boxes that come with the brand’s own signature seasoning to ensure the best quality meat has the best quality taste. Subscription boxes range from under $200 options, to higher-end $300+ packages. While they don’t sell any poultry, you’ll find a wide variety of beef, pork, and dry-aged options (the dry-aged cuts even ship fresh overnight).
2. ButcherBox
ButcherBox has all your meat needs covered in any of its boxes, from 100 percent grass-fed beef to free-range chicken and more. First, pick one of its frozen packages, and choose between a mix of beef, chicken or pork. You can even order a box that you customize, and fill it with things like seafood that’s wild caught, organic chicken and high-quality beef.
Next, decide how much meat you actually want. The Classic package runs $146 and includes up to 14 pounds of food. The ButcherBox Favorites box, meanwhile, is $169 has everything from filet mignon to ground beef, and is a great option for filling up your deep freezer. The company even offers free shipping.
3. US Wellness Meats
U.S. Wellness Meats offers fully grass-fed and pasture-raised meat that’s available to order straight to your doorstep — all things we look for in a delivery service. Its site makes shopping according to the animal, holiday, diet, and season a breeze, but we especially love that you can get bundles, like the Ultimate Grass-Fed Steak Bundle; a Raw Pet Food Bundle for Fido; a Keto Cravings Bundle featuring cuts of ribeye, skirt stank, beef patties, and more; and the Carnivore Collection, 16 pounds of meat with ribeye, ground beef, liver, breakfast sausage, filet mignon, and other cuts. Put simply, there’s something for every meat-lover at U.S. Wellness Meats. The site even offers pantry items, so you can order plenty of snacks to chow on in between your main dishes too, whether you’re a chocolate lover or want to stock up on some cheeses. Bonus: You get free shipping included on orders over 15 pounds.
4. Crowd Cow
Crowd Cow is a serious, meat-loving crowd-pleaser thanks to its big inventory of options and curated items. You can shop by categories of meat, from beef to chicken, as well as specialty packages of American, Australian, and Japanese Wagyu. Crowd Cow’s also made it quicker to shop if you’re following a diet, too. Looking for something that’s keto? Set your sights on the tender 12-ounce steak to pair with your favorite sides, starting at about $15, and choose among grass-fed, Wagyu strip steak and other options.
5. Holy Grail Steak Co.
With a name like Holy Grail Steak Co., you’ll find an incredible assortment of meat at this shop. That includes packages like the Upper Prime Ribeye and Steak bundle, $339, a great option for special occasions or for treating yourself on a weeknight, which includes a six-packed featuring three USDA 16-ounce Upper Prime ribeyes and three Upper Prime New York strip steaks. (You can find its entire selection of steak flights here.)
6. Omaha Steaks
Omaha Steaks is a one-stop-mealtime-shop for flavorful dishes that everyone in your family will like. Steaks, of course, are just one of the many items you can order, but we love that the company curates packages that include multiple courses, like this Ultimate Meals Assortment, a collection of everything from fully cooked pot roast to baked lemon chicken with orzo, Omaha Steaks burgers to lasagna. The best part of the package is that Omaha Steaks doesn’t forget rockstar sides and truly delicious dessert like caramel apple tartlets that you can put right in the oven while you enjoy your main dishes.
If you only want to order your meat, sides or dessert individually, you can do that, too. Once you’ve picked out your food, you can also order bottles of wine to pair with your steaks, from chardonnay to cabernet.
