Where can I buy fresh meat in Webster Groves?

Straub's and The Block are two Webster Groves options for meat to prepare at home. Straub's lists its store at 211 West Lockwood Avenue; The Block has a butcher shop offering at 146 West Lockwood Avenue.

What can I ask the butcher counter for?

Straub's describes a butcher department, while The Block publishes a butcher-case selection that can rotate. Tell either business the meal, number of people and cut you want. Ask which products and preparation options are available; published service information is not a guarantee of today's stock.

How can I compare the cost?

Check whether the quoted price is per pound, per item or for a prepared package. Ask about the approximate finished weight and any additional preparation charge. Comparing the same cut and quantity is more useful than comparing two headline prices for different products.

When should I contact the store in advance?

Call ahead for a large order, a special cut or a holiday meal. Ask about lead time and collection arrangements. If storage or preparation instructions are needed, request them from the supplier for the actual product you buy rather than relying on general advice for a different cut.
