This is an excellent butcher shop. Not only do they sell meats but also charcoal and other grilling accessories. The staff is friendly and helpful, all you have to do is ask and they'll make it happen. They also have a walk in beer cooler that has many local beers. I do wish they sold Prime cuts of meat. Most of the meat there is Choice but is still very flavorful. Exotic meats are also sold there. I would recommend this place.

Great selection and quality of meats. The reason for the 2 stars is only because of 1 employee, an older lady who is behind the meat window to help customers. She of rude and always makes it very difficult to understand our order. I have been here 3 times and she helped us two of those times with the same stinky attitude. I gave feedback to another gentlemen handling meat and the cashier who acknowledged that is how she is. We have been buying in bulk since the quarantine which is about 12-15 pounds of meat about other items but after this last visit I'm done, going somewhere else. Tried asking another meat prep to help instead of her but they just looked at us pointed to her.

They have plenty of samples in case you are not sure what something would taste like. Various jams and jellies offered along with breads and crackers! Some nice souvenirs to purchase too. We always spend too much when we visit. Be prepared to wait in line to check out. Highly recommend to everyone!

This place is great. Top notch meat selection and quality. The butchers/meat cutters are knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. Prices are good, for what you get. Good quality meat isn't cheap. I'm a fan and I will keep coming back.

Very nice and helpful people. The meat and fish are good here, and they have the red wine cheese I loved and haven't been able to find in years. There's a lot of unique meats here as well, and we were able to get lots of bone marrow to make gravy with for Christmas eve dinner.

good quality and great selection of meats. They also carry a large amount of more exotic meats in the freezers. Go here for your high end steaks for special treatment.

This place is expensive but u get what you pay for!! Ive been getting my roasts and ribs here for the last 18 years and not the grocery store. Almost everything here is Ò€œUSDA PrimeÒ€ which is the top of the line grade meat. They will dress it for you, season it, tie it, etc just ask. All you have to do is pop it in the oven or throw it on the bbq. I have never had a bad experience with their food. They also have kabobs, chicken, pork, steaks, turkeys, ...cheese from all over the world, a big selection of wine, seasonings, some vegetables, sides, etc. if you plan on hosting a nice dinner, you must try this place. You wonÒ€ℒt be disappointed. Everyone is very friendly and very helpful.

What a great selection of all kinds of meat, pork, poultry, seasonings and just about everything else you need to prepare meat. The service was fast and courteous. Parking was plentiful and it is easy to find, just look for the bull out by the street. Look at the pictures for stuff like alligator, ostrich, frog legs, and you name it. Go, seek, and bbq!

Everything from rabbit to camel burgers can be found here. The meat is sooo much better than that in the regular grocery store both in quality and flavor! Just go there for yourself and marvel at the selection of foods that are offered!

As usual, top-notch customer service, making sure that there was as much space as possible between customers, and there was a limited amount of customers in the store at one time. Prices are always as reasonable as possible. I'll keep going back.

This has become my go-to place to get bones for my dog. I get marrow bones at $4 a pound. They can cut up each bone into four pieces, which is super helpful since my dog isn't that big. The staff is friendly and prompt here, too.

Old fashioned butcher shop with fine aged meats. Good selection of beef, lamb, pork, chicken. Lots of sauces, wood chips and charcoal for bbq. Small produce selection, but high quality and reasonably priced. Extensive specialty product sections. Highly recommend!

I have to agree with jhavoc... I have been in the customer service field for about 25 years. I know how stressful things can get when business is at an unusual high. And I know how some customers can really grind your gears! But I always treat my customers individually. I don't take out the frustration of 1 bad customer on all the rest! This woman behind the meat counter is SOUR GRAPES! I try to treat everyone with a sincere automatic respect, all I ask is that I get the same. If I'm being unreasonable or if I treat you poorly, I deserve your attitude. But I don't know if I'll go back now. I have other options closer to me where I get better service!

Always great professional service, friendly and knowledgeable staff, and the best product! Additionally, ran a diligent and very-safe operation during the pandemic. While lines were long to get in, it seemed like all who were required to observe safety practices demonstrated great attitudes. Wow!!!! That's what America is truly about!! Way to go... keep it going; I will keep coming back!!

Questions & Answers

Yup. You can get hamhock here. Just ask any of the butchers. They might not have it on display.

Derrick, if you like to bbq or smoke this place is worth a visit. They have a bunch of meats that you can't get anywhere else in San Diego. They have fresh fish and poultry choices too.

Yes they do... 23.98 per pound

Yes they do. They are not always in stock, but as of the 3rd of July they had them in the back freezer.

I understand that in march you can place an order for corned beef. I was there to buy short ribs tgat day and person next to me bought some from a order they placed earlier.vUnknown if u can get corned beef at another time as i have never purchased any before.

They have frozen cuts of both always. I don't think they'll carry fresh cuts of either, but you can call and ask for an order, they'll tell you if they can do it.

Sometimes, and if so, only frozen. Call ahead and they'll look in the freezer and tell you

Not sure what that is but thats the place to get it

They had pork belly when I was there. But you have to braise it nad make it Japanese style. There are a few marinated meats but most of the stuff is raw or frozen and you have to prepare it.

I have seen chicken bones and beef and pork bones in their freezer section. I have not looked close enough to know if there are turkey bones.
