Minneapolis–St. Paul, MNButcher

Clancey's Meats connects whole-animal butchery with a deli counter and small dining room at its newer Grand Avenue home. Cuts from regional farms share the case with sausages, prepared foods, and generously built sandwiches. Mpls.St.Paul Magazine has followed both the shop's craft and its evolution from Linden Hills into the larger Kingfield space.

St. Paul Meat Shop is a whole-animal butcher that makes careful use of locally raised meat across fresh cuts, charcuterie, and prepared foods. Its Grand Avenue counter also turns the case into lunch through composed sandwiches such as a pastrami Reuben. The storefront remains a focused neighborhood resource for both everyday cooking and special orders.

Kramarczuk's combines a Northeast market, bakery, deli, and restaurant around an enduring Eastern European sausage tradition. The butcher counter produces links, smoked meats, and cold cuts in house, giving shoppers a range that extends well beyond a single specialty. Its East Hennepin address identifies the longstanding Minneapolis market and public-facing counter.

Hackenmueller Meats keeps an old-school butcher counter in the Robbinsdale area, with fresh cuts, smoked meats, bacon, and house-made sausages. The shop's official history reaches farther back than the date in the previous editorial note, so this description avoids repeating that conflict. West Broadway is the stable address for its current retail operation.

Sweet Lou's Meats turns a butcher shop, market, deli, and coffee bar into one approachable St. Louis Park storefront. The counter builds on Louisa Farhat and Tim Dubay's earlier market and truck work with retail cuts, prepared foods, sandwiches, and footlong hot dogs. Minnesota Star Tribune reporting confirms the permanent shop and its Minnetonka Boulevard address.
