Good meat changes the meal. Full stop. The Butcher's Market of Cary on Kildaire Farm Road is the kind of place where the person behind the counter knows the difference between a chuck roast and a shoulder clod, and they'll tell you which one to braise.

This isn't a grab-and-go aisle. It's a working butcher counter with real selection, fresh cuts broken down in-house, and a deli that holds its own. The cheese steaks draw regulars. The specialty meats keep them coming back. Over 500 customers have rated this place, and the ones who know their food rate it high.

Cary has no shortage of grocery stores. But a place where you can ask how was this raised and get a straight answer? That's rarer than it should be. This is that place.

What We Offer

The counter runs deep. Custom cuts to your spec, whether that's a thick ribeye for the grill or a whole brisket trimmed for a long smoke. The butchers here will work with you, not just hand you something pre-wrapped.

Beyond the meat case: a full deli counter, hot and cold prepared foods, fresh-made subs and sandwiches, and a market stocked with the extras you actually need. Grab a house-made cheese steak on your lunch break or load up for a weekend cookout. Either way, you're leaving with something worth eating.

Specialty items rotate, so ask what's fresh. That's always the right question here.

"First off…. Management or corporate NEVER reach back out as they say they do. They don’t care about their customers. But anyways let’s dive into it….. Came in to order a cheese steak like I’ve done multiple times in the past…. For some reason the employee failed to mention that they were out of the sub rolls so he decided to just make me what he felt like making me without even confirming. To top it all off to be paying almost $16 for a sandwich and barely getting any meat or veggies (that I paid extra for) is unacceptable. Take a look below at this abomination of a cheese steak. Bet you guys $20 no one from management contacts me."

"First I’ll admit that my experiences have been fine up until this one and I’ve purchased from them at least a half dozen times. Always expensive, but typically worth it. Not this time unfortunately. If I spend $220 on 5lbs of meat there should be nothing left to trim. Perhaps like everything everywhere these days their quality has deteriorated. All I ask is that if you’re going to reduce the standard you do the same with the pricing."

"Overall Score: 5.6/10 – A food truck with friendly service and decent quality, offering a solid steak sub but a bratwurst that fell short in flavor and balance. Atmosphere and Service: 5.8/10 – The food truck setup was clean and approachable. The staff seemed nice and the service moved at a good pace. The menu was straightforward, with a couple of bold options that stood out. Bratwurst: 4.7/10 – A miss overall. The bratwurst itself was lacking in flavor and needed more seasoning or toppings to bring it to life. The roll didn’t pair well with the sausage, making the bite feel off. It could benefit from mustard, onions, or kraut to round it out. Steak and Cheese Sub: 6.4/10 – A good sub with flavorful steak tips that stood out. The meat was cooked well and had a solid, seasoned taste. A dependable and satisfying choice, especially for a food truck setting."

"Very clean with creative displays of their products. The staff is knowledgeable and most helpful. Highly recommend the butcher's market. We travel many hours to buy their products. They have the best beef, poultry, etc., not to mention their sides."

"The Butchers Market delivers outstanding meat quality - their steaks and marinades are truly superb, representing some of the finest cuts you’ll find locally. The difference in taste and texture is immediately noticeable. However, the pricing has escalated beyond reasonable market rates. At $20.99/lb for steak (up from $18.49/lb last year) and $8.99/lb for chicken, these prices significantly exceed even premium alternatives. For context, Costco’s prime filet runs around $15/lb at the Apex location. While I appreciate premium quality commands premium pricing, the current rates feel disconnected. The product quality remains excellent - it’s the value prop that’s become challenging to justify. Will continue to patronize - but it’ll be less frequent, sadly, as a result of the pricing."
