We've been ordering home delivery from them for a few months now and we are impressed with the service and quality.

Not sure what's up with the mixed reviews but I called to pick up a few pounds of ground pork and had a very normal transaction. Staff was not very chatty but that's not a requirement for a meat shop. Price was good too so no complaints here.

As a native Kansas citian it is tough to find a good butcher shop. Staff is great, meat is amazing. Very high quality cuts. Highly recommend rain shadow.

When I first moved here I was so excited when I found them. I used to love this place. They used to get meat from Gleason Ranch and other such places that awoke me to what truly fantastic beef is. I know from my initial experiences that the owner knows what amazing meat is but makes little effort to provide it anymore. A little over a year ago there was a change of the guard and many of the butchers I know have left (at least one was fired). At the melrose location there is a chalk board with a list of locations they claim to get beef from. If you ask, you'll find it's been so long that they've gotten a side of beef from those locations that many of the butchers there have never seen a side of beef come in while employed there. Rain Shadow Meats is a bag meat butcher. Smell, it says a lot about the meat. I could have gone to any other bag meat butcher or the supermarket and gotten something similar. If you're going for chicken or pork you might ignore this review. Yesterday was the last time I buy beef from them.

Questions & Answers

Do they have halal or kosher options?

No. Unfortunately they are too small to keep it all seperated.

Do you have lamb kidneys? I am making steak and kidney pie and unable to find them. Also, do you have lamb belly? Thank you.

I don't know but, call them to make your request. They were able to find a difficult ingredient for me. They are very accommodating, if they have a resource.

Will you be selling heritage turkeys at Thanksgiving?

Hi there, Our turkeys on our website are NOT the heritage type, they are Mary's Free Range Turkeys. We do however, have 2 heritage turkeys that we will be bringing in for Thanksgiving. They are $7.99/lb and will be approximately 14-16 pounds, although we won't know the exact weight until we receive them. Thanks for your email! Thank you, Adrienne Rain Shadow Meats CFO

Will your shop slice my ham loaf? If so how much will you charge for the service?

Sorry Felicia, but unfortunately, due to health codes we cannot accept customer's food to process.
