Palm Beach Meats

The Write-Up

The full story

Palm Beach Meats is a butcher shop and counter on South Orange Avenue built on one obsession: Wagyu, done every way. The menu runs decadent and creative, highbrow meets lowbrow, with a Wagyu burger, an Australian Wagyu filet katsu sando, a Wagyu Philly and Wagyu tapa over garlic rice, plus a Frito Pie for good measure. The market cases stock Wagyu cuts to take home, and the beef tallow Nutella brownie earns the melt-in-your-mouth praise guests keep repeating.
