What to Expect
The Meat Shop in Mutare CBD is a butchery and deli that also turns out burgers, pizza and takeaways. Florence (December 2025) called the beef burger “a 10over10”, with a “beef pattie well done, succulent” and a bun “fresh from the oven”. Nicky (May 2026) agreed, calling it “the best burger ever”.
There's nowhere to sit and eat, something more than one reviewer flags. Taffy (2025) liked the food but noted “there's no seating” and “You'd have to sit in your car to eat on site”, and Florence made the same point. Peter (March 2025) enjoyed the pizza and wraps but wanted more payment options, since the shop is “Cash only”.
The butchery side draws its own praise, with reviewers naming biltong, pies, samosas and a wide range of meat. Kudakwashe (2025) singled out “Great biltong” alongside the pies and half moons. The Meat Shop is on Second Street, open daily with shorter hours midweek.

Very nice food from their restaurant, wide variety of meats to purchase from their butchery. Overall a nice place, my only issue is that you can't sit and eat there as there's no seating. You'd have to sit in your car to eat on site.

Great pizza and other tasty take aways including wraps and burgers. And a good shop for meats and basic groceries. Only criticism is lack of payment options. Cash only and this is maybe 20 years after Ecocash started so come on guys.
