Quarter Butcher – The Local Whole-Animal Butcher Shop You Need to Visit

Julie Colin

If you love discovering small, meaningful businesses around Dardenne Prairie, you're going to love this one: Quarter Butcher. This isn't just another meat market—it's a chef-owned, whole-animal butcher shop that’s passionate about real food, responsible sourcing, and community connection.

A Hidden Gem Just Outside Dardenne Prairie

Quarter Butcher takes a whole-animal approach, meaning they use every part of the animal—meat, bones, fat, and even organs—so nothing goes to waste. That includes house-made dog treats, tallow, and rich bone broth you can’t find at a chain grocery store.

The shop is run by Chef Ryan, who transformed his culinary background into this full-service butcher shop during COVID. Now, his chef expertise guides every recommendation—from which cut to cook for dinner, to which spice blend brings it to life.

They offer a rotating selection of:

  • 🥩 Beef, pork, chicken

  • 🍖 House-made deli meats like ham and roast beef

  • 🧂 Custom seasoning blends and rubs

A Local Butcher You Can Watch in Action

Quarter Butcher isn’t just a shop—it’s an experience. There’s a viewing window where kids (and adults) can watch Chef Ryan at work, breaking down meat with precision and care. It’s a peek behind the scenes into where your food comes from—transparent, educational, and kind of mesmerizing!

As a Dardenne Prairie Realtor, I’m always looking to support and spotlight the people and places that make our region feel like home. Quarter Butcher is a place where you’re greeted by name, where quality is unmatched, and where every visit feels personal.

Whether you're meal-prepping, grilling, or just want to support a local food artisan, Quarter Butcher is worth the visit.
