About Us
We're all about sourcing the best that the world has to offer!
We cater to food enthusiasts who are looking for a selection of the hard to find cuts of meat and the specialized service of a local butcher. Dealing with only the best local farmers, gourmet providers and experts in the industry, our meats are sourced through the seasons keeping in mind that particular meats are better at certain times of the year.

In house, we make our own sausages, cure pancetta and smoke bacon. We hand taste our wine and beer selection and have fabulous cheeses to compliment the occasion. We offer prepared meals Tuesday through Friday with selections changing daily. Customers can keep up with the latest news and selections by signing up for our e-newsletter.

Nadolski’s Butcher Shop first opened in January of 2009 and now also distributes wholesale to many area restaurants and ships products throughout the east coast.

The Meat Man
Jonathan Nadolski, has a passion for cooking and sharing good food. He's been in the restaurant business since 1991, and brings with him a wealth of experience and local connections. Although he is on the other side of the meat counter, instead of in front of an 8-burner stove, his passion for cooking simple, fresh food to fine gourmet cuisine, helps guide customers when preparing meals for any occasion.

When not out in his garden or on the river hunting ducks, you'll find Jonathan reading through countless recipe books; especially French favorites James Peterson and Jean-Louis Palladin. He stays busy whipping up new dishes based on classic French and Italian cooking using simple and fresh ingredients.

Born in Wisconson and raised all along the northeast coast, Jonathan now resides in Goochland with his wife, Alissa, and twin seven year-old daughters.
