Ver Brugge Meat-Fish Poultry

This is one of my go-to places for high-quality cuts of meat. These guys know their business, and that's providing professional butchery products and services at a fair price. No wonder there's always a line out the door for holiday centerpiece roasts, even pre-COVID. They sharpen knives too, but not during the holiday rushes, so plan accordingly.

Great traditional meat shop in a nice part of Oakland. They also sell all kinds of artisanal cheeses and other items that'd be great for a picnic. I'd been looking around for those old school type hot dogs that have the snap when you bite into them, but I couldn't find them stocked at any of the major grocery stores. I called Ver Brugge and they told me they stocked them, under the "old-fashioned" moniker. I got there and found that not only did they sell these hot dogs, but a whole host of other meats that the Safeways and Lucky's of our community don't stock. Now I know where I'm coming to get my meat. Not only that, but the guys behind the counter were super nice and conversational. Would recommend!

Ver Brugge has the best selection and quality of any butcher I've seen in East Bay - I frequent the store to stock up on delicious cuts of meat that I can BBQ, bake or freeze and cook later. It is worth the trip!

Got some Pork Shoulder, Tri-Tip and Chicken Breast to grill! Now working on the Pork Shoulder. I asked the butcher to tie up the pork shoulder into 2 bowls and they always do a good job of it, never falls apart on the grill.
