About Cutting Edge
Cutting Edge Meat Market first got its start as our founders’ side project over 20 years ago. Eventually, word got out in town about the high-quality meat we were making, so we opened our first shop in 2008. We’ve been growing ever since.
We have all the fresh meat you could want, including more than 50 flavors of brauts! Plus, we only carry choice and prime selections, so whatever items you buy, you know they’ll be good. You’ll also find a variety of cheese, sauces, pickled vegetables — everything you need for your next meal.

What Our Costumer Says
Excellent local and award winning butcher. Attentive and helpful. Great selection of game and sausag
This is the place to get South Dakota raised beef, buffalo, Hutterite chickens, jerky, and every type of sausages one could imagine. Sausages are made at their market in Piedmont. The meat is fairly priced and the quality is superb This upscale meat market is located in the Autumn Hills Plaza on Sheridan Lake Road. The Porterhouse steak I had last night was the best I have ever eaten. The owner, Becky is knowledgeable and pleasant. Bravo, Rapid City!!!
So I had to wait until I ate the steak to write the review. So here goes….First, the place is located in a strip center and is a little cold feeling when you first walk in. Meaning there is no old guy with a blood stained apron behind the counter. Just big meat selections. From right to left runs the prime to choice, rib eyes, t-bone, porterhouse, strip and filet. There is chicken and pork at the far end.The meat looks and I can now say tastes fantastic. You are going to pay a bit more then you will at grocery stores, but worth it. Especially if it is a special occasion. The meat is fresh, not frozen cryo packed stuff. And you will be able to tell right away.
While I was staying in Rapid City I was to try some of the best meat from the area and this place fit the bill. I tried the chicken breast, pork chops, and ground beef which was all very good. The best was the prime beef tender, this is an amazing cut of beef, I cooked it on the grill and it just melted in my mouth, well worth the cost I recommend this cut. The staff could be a little more friendly, they don’t have a huge selection compared to some of the meat lockers I have been to, this is a butcher shop. The jalapeño poppers are wonderful and they have a great selection of cheese. If you want some better beef than Safeway I recommend stopping here.
Meat was top notch, customer service could have been better. I was offered up no help in picking out meat. If you don’t care about customer service and want just a great steak this is your place. Prices are higher but you get what you pay for. Not sure if I would get my meat here regularly, but for special occasions for sure. Wish the service could have been better, the guy made it seem like I was interrupting his day.
Yes, prices at Cutting Edge Meat Market are higher than at grocery stores – but the products are worth saving for! The staff is knowledgeable about various cuts, and will provide tips for seasoning and cooking if you ask. The butcher is obviously creative; they always offer a variety of house-made sausages with various meats and spice combinations. Unlike most commercial brands, the sausages are not saturated with salt and preservatives. To top off the experience, there’s always a hot plate skillet with samples of their products. (They will even let you sample the local cheeses if you ask…) Overall, these people know what they’re doing and are passionate about doing it right.
Staff was very knowledgeable & helped to select the perfect cuts! Large variety of meats and extensive selection of cuts. Any person can find something delicious for any occasion. A bit pricy, however this is a go to place for the best meat in Rapid!
One of the best filet’s I have ever purchased. Service was very friendly, contrary to other posts I have seen. Good burger too!
Great staff and products. A little pricey but worth it
Military friendly, decent amount of choices, little pricey but you get what you pay for. Huge selection of Brats and probably the only place in Rapid you can get top notch tri tip
We were in Black Hills for the week of 4th of July, found this place online. Bought 20 lb brisket, some buffalo dogs and hands down the greatest beef jerky I’ve ever had. The 2yr old, 5, 6,and 9 year old in our group could not eat enough of the brisket. Compared to Phoenix Arizona prices it was cheap!
Excellent wide variety of poultry and meat and great service! We have never been unhappy with the quality of the meat purchased. Also like their specialty breads and spices! You can’t go wrong shopping here — a bit pricey but not for premium cuts!
If you want to grill this is the place to go. We were visiting the area for work and cutting edge was recommended. They did not disappoint! Amazing meats (the 2″ cut premium rib eyes were STELLAR) but the star of the show were the hand made sausages! Biggest selection I have ever seen and the owner makes them all herself. The hickory smoked brats were insane.. do not leave without her recommendations…. can’t wait to visit next year. A Sturgis must!!!
Great meat place, go all the time. Buffalo summer sausage with cheddar cheese and jalapenos in it is the best.
My bf and I bought ribeyes, beefsticks and cheese. Best steaks ever!! The steak melted in our mouths like butter. We will be coming back. The staff is friendly and very helpful.
Great meat and fish!
This place has been our go to place for all-natural meats. They have a very friendly and knowledgeable staff. Also, they give a 3% discount if you pay with cash.
Excellent quality meats
New to the shop. Lots of nicely marbled beef, pork, and chicken cuts. Also has a lot of flavors of gourmet brats that I can’t wait to try. Real nice and friendly staff who assisted me w/any cuts and or questions I had. Pricey, but if the meats are anything like I’ve had w/home raised beef, it’ll be well worth it. I haven’t tried/cooked the meats yet, but they look good and ready for a hot grill even in the winter.
Amazing Sausage! I’ve tried both bratwurst and pork and pineapple. Juicy and so much flavor for a decent price.
Best product in Rapid City. Locally owned and operated it doesn’t get better then that.
Cutting Edge Meat Market is a great little place to get select Prime cuts of meat. They try to buy mostly local product.The staff is very knowledgeable about different cuts of meat. If they do not have what you are looking for on the day that you’re looking for it they will inform you when the next time they will have it in.They also have little Specialties like seasonings. I like going and using them for special occasions.
First time there and was very impressed. Beautiful selection of meats and cheeses. Will definately be back and would recommend.
Great meat choices, other great foods, great service, friendly staff.
Best butcher in Rapid City!
Great selection of meats and great service.
Best for custom ordered meats and cuts. If you need meat this is the place.
Not much to say except AMAZING!!! The quality of meat is second to none. The quality of the butchering us second to none. I drive 175 miles one way to buy dog bones here. The owner gets in rib bones and cut up hip bones when my home town butcher has never been able to. Where this shop falls short is in the fish department. Nothing special, in particular the smoked fish definitely nothing special. That aside this is still an amazing butchershop. FYI bring cash, save your self a card fee.
Amazing meat, cheese and side options! Big fan of the Prime ribeyes and Prime tenderloins. Also, love the twice baked potatoes, bacon wrapped asparagus and stuffed mushrooms. My husband and I usually stop in weekly/bi-weekly. Friendly and helpful staff.
Just cooked our ribeyes… freaking awesome. This was just the choice grade and a little pricey, but I still wholeheartedly recommend.
Great selection and beyond the awesome customer service. Great prices too!! Highly recommended! Will be back!!
Cutting Edge Meats was definitely worth the drive!!! My hubby and I bought some tri-tips for dinner and tried some chicken samples they made up!!! OMG…..we are on love!!! We will definitely be back!!
My husband and I shopped here for the first time this past weekend. We were on the hunt for prime rib, au jus, and raw horseradish. We found all three! For me it’s usually a stop at a meat market then to a grocery store. This saved us an extra trip. Ok, so the horseradish was actually horseradish. There was kick to it which is hard to find. The price is right. A huge tub for about 10 bucks! Next, the au jus was fantastic. It wasn’t watered down beef broth once you made it. Reasonable price as well. I’ll use some of it to make French onion soup Finally the prime rib roast, we had the choice of bone-in or not. We chose bone-in. Charcoal grilled it and it was perfect! Great flavor. Fresh. I was already excited about my upcoming meal but was pleasantly surprised to find out at checkout that they give VETERANS 10% off as well as an additional 3% if you pay in cash.We will be back every time we come for a visit to Rapid City which is often. I also assume this is a locally owned business so another reason to come back.
Outstanding meat selection. Best meat we had while in Rapid City.
Super clean store, knowledgeable staff, great selection and *really* high quality meat!
Great meats, great staff, so happy I found this store! They ordered delicious lamb for me, and I can’t wait to go back

Lots of help, great front end service , my requested meat cut while I was browsing. So far the cuts have been outstanding.
They have everything from meat to cheese to bread. Amazing fresh rye bread for a reasonable price.
Great quality meats! Very amazing service!
Best steaks in town by far ! Absolutely love this place make sure you get bacon wrapped jalapeno poppers
I think it is the best meat in town, the chicken breasts are huge and very tasty. The prices are not that much higher, plus but you pay for what you get.
Love that it is local meat and local processing! Great selection and customer service! The ribeyes and buffalo jerky are the BEST!!
Great meat, great people
If you are heading to Mount Rushmore, this place is a must go to for restocking. Staff was friendly and helpful. We spent way more money than we had planned, but it was worth it. We had elk jerky, buffalo salami, and locally baked marbled rye. They have chocolate cheddar cheese. Steaks, chicken breasts too big for a single meal, buffalo sausage and bacon as well as fresh pork, beef and chicken. A definite yes to return when we come back this way.
Awesome hamburger and steaks…
10/10 New York strip was amazing and the brats are legit! Reacquired stop if your camping around Rapid City!
You have to try some of the meats and other options they have at this meat market….hands down the best options in town
Stopped in to replenish our meat supply & what a great place!! Very friendly staff and great service! Bought a great variety of meats, cheeses, brats. Even got buffalo and elk!! Visited with the staff there for a while & found they never closed down with this COVID SCAM!!! Way to go folks! You got our business & it was great talking with you. When we come back we know where we will stop again. We may even Order and have you ship to us back home! Thank you for staying open!!

Great quality meat
I love this place! Quality products and excellent customer service. Try the chocolate cheese!
Great People and fantastic Meat and Service.
Great customer service!
Best butcher shop in town! Highest quality beef around. Plus a great selection of poultry, pork and wild game. Also a great selection of seasonings and side-grillable stuff.
Becky is the best. Great place to shop.
Great quality local meat products! Don’t plan to ask many questions as their regular employees are not very friendly. Also call ahead about their operating hours as they change them frequently and never update online listings like Google Maps.
I love this place. High quality meat every time, and amazing people!
We live Cutting Edge, great service and especially love their brats!
