9 Best Meat Delivery Services to Skip a Trip to the Butcher

Save yourself a trip to the butcher or grocery store with these convenient meat delivery services that bring high-quality proteins straight to your door. You may be wary about trying out a service like this, but our experience testing over 40 different meat and seafood delivery services in the Good Housekeeping Institute showed us that you can get just as good quality, if not better, with these services since they are solely focused on one thing – premium meats.

Not only did our food and nutrition experts put the services to the test over the course of three months, but we even sent the boxes to home cooks across the nation for real-life feedback. Our evaluations focused on quality, taste, selection, animal care standards, sustainability and more. Services that sent poor-quality, too-small or badly butchered cuts didn't make the grade, nor did those whose meat cooked up tough or bland. Here are our favorite meat delivery services of the moment, plus tips from our culinary experts on selecting the right cuts and properly cooking steak, chicken and chops to get the most out of your delivery.
