Wagshal's Market · Spring Valley
A longstanding Spring Valley shop known for dry-aged porterhouses, saddle of lamb, and deep know-how.
Stachowski's Market · Georgetown
Jamie Stachowski's Georgetown butcher and charcuterie, famous for house-cured meats and huge sandwiches.
The Organic Butcher · McLean
A McLean shop with one of the area's widest selections, from standing rib roast to game like venison and pheasant.
Harvey's by Soko · Union Market
A Union Market institution since 1931, continuing under new ownership from the Soko Butcher team as Harvey's By Soko. The shop keeps a similar lineup of quality cuts including pork chops, lamb, and chicken, alongside sandwiches loaded with meat and all the fixings on French rolls. A straightforward changing of hands rather than a reinvention, carrying the same butcher-counter role in Union Market that the space has held for decades.
