Now, this is great meat! Whenever I eat anything I've made with the pork, beef and chicken that I've purchased, I'm reminded of my childhood and how beef tasted like beef back then, pork didn't have that weird "barnyard" flavor, and chicken had major chicken flavor!
It's another example of a great place to buy good products in Calgary. -

As a carnivore, this butcher shop is one of my favorite places.
I've had duck breasts, pork chops, veal, lamb and beef from here, and nearly every bite reminds me that there is a right and wrong way to raise, treat, and butcher meat, and all of this is reflected in the taste. -

Second to none meats is an excellent Calgary butcher for all the reasons listed by the other reviewers.
One thing not mentioned is that they have some other game meats, such as wild boar, ostrich, elk, etc. And I'm sure this list changes often, so that alone makes it a good reason to check in often.
I pick up whole chickens there with regularity, along with one or two other items to keep some variety.
The real reason I make I go there weekly is too ensure there is always Nitrate free sea salt bacon in my fridge. These thick-cut slices of pork belly streaked with fat are a staple in my house, and will continue to be until I find a butcher in Calgary with better bacon. -

I had lived right across the street to STNM for almost 5 months before I ever walked in. It usually closes sometime around 5pm to 6pm on weekdays so I would have really boot it home in order to get there in time. Once I finally discovered it I was pleasantly surprised!
They have a ton of glutenfree goodies! I found great glutenfree sausages, pastas, sauces, and other great treats. The guy works there is super knowledgable about the products and also very friendly.
Basically, the ideal corner butcher shop in your friendly neighbourhood.Listed in: Gluten-Free YYC

A sweet little secret of a butcher shop tucked in a strip mall on 4th St SW. Second to None Meats is second to none. This is as independent as you get, STNM is a clean, butcher shop providing the Mission area and community with local, high quality Alberta beef, pork and produce.
STNM is concerned with the multitudes of health issues that have heightened in human population. They are concerned in a healthier diet therefore beef comes from Canadian Celtic products; the cattle here receive the best quality care until it arrives onto the dinner plate. Cattle are not injected with hormones or steroids, and no antibiotics are used in finishing period. It is ensured during this process that animals are relaxed and are at the lowest stress levels possible.
The pork chosen at STNM is from Alberta owned Broek Pork Acres. Here hogs are cultivated without unnecessary antibiotics, without growth stimulants and without animal by products. Market hogs are raised on pasture and in the fresh air and sunshine not cooped up in pens.
STNM had a nice selection of handsome cutlets and a good organic produce area. They are also selling Alberta coffee in a variety of sizes.
The owner there was extremely friendly and had so much pride in the commitment that was put into his business to provide the best for his clients.
