St Pete Meat and Provisions in Downtown St Petersburg

Published on 10/24/23: For those who enjoy a great steak and other cuts of meat, here’s a locally owned alternative to the big-box stores. Family-owned St. Pete Meat & Provisions! (music by ZZ Top, “Bar-B-Q” 🎸)

General Info About This Butcher Shop

As our family nears the end of unpacking, we finally have our grill setup. With that complete, it was time to refresh my research on where to buy our grilling supplies. The end result was visiting locally owned St Pete Meat & Provisions. Located on Central Ave and owned by same owners as IL Ritorno, the very popular downtown Italian restaurant!

Google Reviews: 4.7/5

Address: 449 Central Avenue, St Pete

Hours: Open 7 days a week! Mon — Sun 9am – 7pm

Local Delivery: FREE for orders over $100!

“St. Pete Meat & Provisions is a family-owned butcher shop providing the Tampa Bay area with meticulously hand-cut meat and curated provisions […] from local and regional farms.”

The gal who advised us behind the counter was very helpful, giving Colt and I lessons on cuts of meat, preparation, and plus many cooking tips. I’m a fan of Publix (esp for pub subs 😬), however they’ve never spent 25+ minutes with me, discussing my meal goals!? So many advantages to shopping our local small businesses.

They’re now taking orders for Thanksgiving turkeys and the options sound delicious! Check their Facebook and IG for more info.

St Pete Meat is Locally Owned and Operated

“In 2020, with the pandemic shaping at-home cooking trends, James Beard and Food Network recognized Chef David Benstock opened a small meat market with a simple plan – fill a void in our area, make customers happy, and keep them coming back. From beef, including Wagyu and dry-aged beef, poultry, pork, house made sausages and jerky, bison, game meats, marinated meats, lamb and veal, we have something for everyone. We have a selection of frozen seafood, cheese and charcuterie, farm fresh eggs, dressings, sauces, marinades, fresh pasta, and house made provisions. The shop features a curated selection of dry goods such as seasonings, spices, rubs, oils, honey, jams, hot sauces, pickles, charcoal, crackers, cookbooks, and grilling tools.”
