Modest Meats - Edmonton, Alberta

This place is wonderful. Super friendly staff and some of the best prices. I buy most of my meat here now (primarily pork and chicken) and love the quality and freshness of the meat. Why would you ever buy meat at the grocery store when you can come here?

The best breakfast sausages in the city! The owner threw in an extra pack of sausages made with dates and spices as a treat and they were absolutely amazing. Even my dog really enjoyed their dog bones they had for purchase! The prices are really reasonable, it’s really worth a visit.

So I walked in with the intention of picking up something fancy for a birthday and got a fantastic recommendation for a Wagyu tomahawk Ribeye. Outstanding cut and totally made the meal so much more special!
*edit - I bought 2 coppas from Mike and cured them. I don't know who was more excited about cured meats; me or him? They turned out incredibly!
Thanks so much and will be coming back!!

I feel extremely lucky that Modest Meats moved into my neighborhood. I couldn't ask for a better local butcher! The steak - divine! It is sooooo much better than the store!!! AMAZING! And a very good price. The burgers - amazing! The bones - best broth ever! Heck, even the condiments and special items are amazing. We can fry with beef tallow now - so cool! The staff are soooooo helpful and friendly, and I feel way better eating beef knowing that it is local and grass fed. Modest Meats is simply the BEST:)

Love this place, farm to table fresh meat, local farmers and ranchers what more can you ask for, the prices seem fair considering the quality of meat they sell, bought some Wagyu Jerky and Cowboy jerky made by North Country and it was delicious, they also have Dill Ceasar Sticks that go great with home made Ceasar Drinks 😉, they have dry aged beef and Canadian Wagyu at $40 a pound, definitely a place to check out if you are a BBQ guy.

Fantastic whole animal butcher. Exceedingly high quality product with a lot of rare and interesting bits. Their grind on the burgers is outrageous and produces the most amazing flavour (providing you don't burn down your kitchen). Also don't forget the little bits in the containers at the back of the case; from braised taco meat to sweet & sour pork, you will find little pre-made gems.

The staff at Modest Meats are the best! As a result, very good quality products are available, especially if you prioritize healthy consumption choices.

When I moved into Edmonton this March. I was worried that I wasn't going to find a solid butcher that would support my lifestyle choice to consume better and healthier as I had back in Calgary.

During my stay at Whyte Ave, I was relieved to walk in and get to meet Mike(one of the coolest and most knowledgeable dudes you'll ever meet here). He's so good at explaining the different items and where they're sourced and what to look for when purchasing. I am still quite new to red meats and also indecisive naturally. But I always feel like I learned something. Super grateful! 🙏

His team is awesome and super friendly too.

And honestly whatever they are doing to make their tallow - 🥇
That stuff has kept me happily off seed oils for another year. And it's AMAZINGLY light tasting for a solid tub of fat.

Truly an amazing experience at the butcher every time! Will be back whenever I get the chance.

Don't be shy now, HIGHLY recommend!

Thank you Modest Meats!
