Milwaukee, WI · Waukesha, WI · Madison, WI · Middleton, WI · Appleton, WI · Green Bay, WI · Chicago, IL · Kansas City, MO. Each city pairs with a radius selector (5, 10, 25, 50, 100 miles) so you can widen or tighten the search. Coverage grows as users submit prices in their own cities.

How BBQ Board works

Every price on BBQ Board has a store, a cut, a price per pound, and a timestamp. Sort by distance and price. Filter to just butcher shops if you want to support local — every Costco, Walmart, and Meijer drops out. Prices older than 30 days get flagged as stale; older than 90 hidden entirely. Anyone can submit a new price by signing in with Google, or by uploading a photo of a weekly ad for the app to OCR.

Common questions

Where can I find the cheapest brisket near me?

Pick your city, filter by Brisket, and the cheapest priced shop appears first. Costco's national baseline is around $5.89/lb for whole packer (Prime or Choice). Local butchers price higher because the meat is grass-fed or heritage-raised.

How much do brats cost in Wisconsin?

Kettle Range Milwaukee: about $9.95/lb for Milwaukee Bratwurst. Bavaria Sausage Kitchen (Madison): about $6/lb for Kaiser Bratwurst in a bulk box. Costco Kirkland (made by Johnsonville in Sheboygan Falls, WI): about $3.51/lb. Submit your local butcher's price to help the community.

Which butcher shops are in Milwaukee?

Bunzel's Meat Market, Kettle Range Meat Co. (Milwaukee and Elm Grove), Ray's Butcher Shoppe (Greenfield), Buddy's Meat Market, C & R Market, Usinger's, Rupena's Fine Foods (West Allis), Becher Meats (West Allis), Roberts' Specialty Meats (Waukesha), Sausage Haus Meat & Deli (Oconomowoc), Daybreak Prime Meats (Delafield).

How do I submit a price?
