I just want to give a big shoutout to everyone here for taking the time to chat with us and make us feel us good on Christmas Eve. We tasted delicious meats and cheeses and took home a lovely, assortment to treat ourselves to a small spread for supper. Highly recommend.

This is the 3rd time I have gone by the SOaB, for their samiches. Each time the sammies have been wonderful 2 cubans and 1 meatball. Delicious! They go fast so be there when they open. Also got a few filets, nice and thick roughly 8ozs a piece and they grilled up nicely. The butcher shop is really nice and clean, well organized and beautiful meats/seafood. The staff are extremely friendly and knowledgeable. Fast and efficient service, so you can get your meats and be on your way quickly. Ample parking and easy to get. My only issue getting there was I had to use the # 3, instead of Third on my GPS. I'll be back and highly recommend, if you like quality meats at a reasonable price.

Have been a customer since they opened. Best (fresh) cheese selection in Birmingham. (Staff are knowledgeable and keen to let you taste before you buy.) Their pork tenderloin does not disappoint. This was our 2nd year for buying their “select,” turkey for Thanksgiving……. Exceptional both years. By any means, not cheap but….”you get what you pay for.”

Son of a Butcher is our to-go establishment for meat and fish. Highest quality, reasonable prices. Their aged beef is remarkable. Great selection of cheeses and charcuterie. The staff is extremely friendly. I have only good things to say and I'm thankful they opened!

Amazing butcher shop, great selection of meats, seafood, spices, cheeses, and other things. Was very surprised to find Red Pearl Peppers here. There is nothing like it in the BHAM area. We will be back.

We got a pound of breakfast sausage that was literally rotten after a day of purchase. We also bought a dry aged steak that was way over aged. Won't be back.

I’ve made a few trips to this amazing butcher shop for several items and they have not disappointed. First up we had (2) fantastic Japanese A5 Wagyu steaks. These were so good. You will never look at steak the same after trying it. Next up we picked up some USDA Prime Beef Ribeye (2). These steaks were also good. However they seemed comparable to meat from Publix or The Pig local to my house. We also picked up a dry-aged ribeye which was great. It was my first one and we were a little iffy on trying but we were very satisfied. Also have picked up bratwurst and sausages which have a strong distinctive seasoning. I thought they were some of the best I’ve ever had. My wife wasn’t a fan of the seasoning in them. Lastly I grabbed a jar of their pickles from a local canner. Wasn’t disappointed. The staff is knowledgeable and helpful. I will be making this a frequent visit.

IT WAS A PLEASURE TO MEAT YOU! The son of a butcher, what a very punny name for a butcher shop. But for what ever reason it works so well here in Birmingham. Located in the middle of Pepper Place, this butcher shop has been slicing up some of the finest cuts of meat for just a couple years now. I have such fond memories of going down to Arthur Avenue with my family when I was a small child. Seeing the hung goats, sheep and other animals in the store front windows of some of the finest butcher/provision shops in the city. Shockingly, it didn't scare me one bit. Walking into the son of a butcher today, made me feel as though I was stepping back in time. Though there was no hanging skinned animal in the window, there was a fridge of dehydrated meats multiple cases of some of the finest cuts of meat around. Customer service is fantastic here. They go above and beyond for their customers. Listening to the wants and needs. Love that this is a family owned store and that they really do care about each and every person who walks through their doors. We did not wind up buying anything, however, we did enjoy chatting with the employees and looking at all sorts of items sold in store. They have a wide range of meats, cheeses, other provisions as well as some fish items too. I was shocked to see the seafood items. I know that in Birmingham it is a known fact that most of the seafood is either shipped in or not the freshest it could be. I will definitely be returning to this butcher shop to get some provisions for dinner, but only for a special occasion. I feel as though this is a special occasion type place. Would not come here as an everyday provision and meat store, but on occasion for those special occasions I think this would be one of the best spots in town to come.

Very pleasant find while home for Christmas. Wonderful selection of international food items, and glorious aged USDA Prime beef. I tried an aged ribeye and a fresh NY strip. Both were scrumptious and succulent with rich beefy flavor. Pleasant and knowledgeable staff. Worth a visit.
