I have to say I visited this shop today and got some goodies. I am a seasoned high end Chef and his goods are on point. The cured meats are extremely well done. I would love it if this shop was in Florida so I could shop there more often.

We tried selections from the chicken, pork and beef options:Best bacon on northshore - comparable price to quality bacon you'd find in nice supermarket, but all meat (i.e. - no added water to plump up in case that cooks off)Josh makes amazing all beef (pork casing) spicy sausages - just the right amount of heat - and other pork sausages were greatChicken thighs were plump and grilled up greatJosh was extremely knowledgable and clearly has a passion for what he does. What a great place!

I've been searching for a real butcher shop for a long time. I finally found it. He has the best of everything and if you want a special cut of meat, he is your man. He brings in the whole cow. Definitely check him out . The store is immaculate also

Awesome meat shop owned by an amazing family. Josh has one of the highest commitments to providing quality meats I’ve ever encountered. Everything I’ve purchased has been delicious. Im really excited to see this shop take shape. If you’re in the North Shore stop by!

First City Meats is a bonafide Butcher Shop! I went there yesterday and they have an awesome selection of prime cut meats! They are located in a new building at 698 Washington st in Lynn Massachusetts! I highly reccomend that you go there! They opened for their First day yesterday! This place is locally owned and they are all about the community and serving them the best meats with amazing service and tons of quality! You can order your holiday meats , roast or prime cut meat for any gathering!The cool thing after you buy your meats , they also have a really cool selection of dry rub spices you can take home and keep in your spice collection! Best of Luck to you Josh! We look forward to getting our steaks and meats there regularly!

Amazing meats. I’m no longer buying meat from any grocery store and will continue to come here. This butcher proves to be an incredible value for the quality you get ,and it’s a no brainer for me to continue to support them. Which means you should too.

One of the only place I get my farm to table meat. He had organ meats, beef tongue and goodies that you can't find anywhere else. Customer service is great 👍🏽.

First City Meat is a wonderful addition to the thriving Culinary scene here in Lynn. It is a true blessing that we now have a local butcher. What makes First City Meat so special is the farmers that have been carefully chosen to supply the market produce only the highest quality meat without all the hormones and antibiotics that you’ll find in the big box grocery stores.

Tried some of the sausages today for the first time. Delicious. 3 and 5-year-old ate them happily as well. Will definitely be back for some of the other items!

I got bangers for St Patrick's Day and they were the best I've ever had. Super excited to have a proper butcher in Lynn.
