Pape Meat Co is a staple butcher shop nestled in Millbrae’s Hillcrest neighborhood, known for its carefully curated selection of dry aged beef and quality meats. This isn’t your typical supermarket meat counter; here, the butchers skillfully guide you through cuts that suit everything from special dinners to holiday feasts. The shop carries a variety of meats and even some seafood, making it a convenient stop for home cooks who want to elevate their meals with well-marbled, fresh cuts.

Locals appreciate the knowledgeable staff who take the time to understand what you're looking for and are happy to trim and prepare the meat just right. Whether you’re picking up a dry aged ribeye for a birthday steak dinner or securing a prime rib for a festive gathering, the butchers’ expertise shines through.

In addition to meat, Pape Meat Co offers occasional wine tastings, adding a relaxed, old-school charm to the shopping experience.

The butchers here are true artists. I asked for a specific cut for a special dinner, and they knew exactly what I needed and trimmed it perfectly. The quality of their steaks is unmatched by any supermarket.

Picked up a dry aged ribeye, picanha, pork chops for a birthday dinner. The steaks look fresh and well marbled. Parking lot is small but adequate. Service was good, they do wine tasting inside as well I believe.

Old school butcher shop with quality meats, seafood, and wine! I get a prime rib twice a year from here, but have gotten other cuts and seafood - excellent quality! The guys behind the counter are great! Very patient and knowledgeable. Just about everyone in the area go to place! Go early during the holidays!

Their seasoned rack of lamb is unbelievable. I’ve been buying it for probably close to 20 years. I was not a lamb fan, but the store in Burlingame kept suggesting I try it. I finally did, and I’ve been a fan ever since. I’ve made it for practically everyone I know, and they think I’m a great cook. I’ve confessed that it’s not me, it’s Pape’s.. I can’t recommend it enough!!
