I’ve been going here for years, for all the family barbecues and family events it’s well worth your money

I don’t know about some of the comments on here about the blond lady. I have been coming here for years and she has been nothing but nice and cordial. This place is the place when you are planning a family barbecue. I highly recommend this place.

I was in there earlier this week around 5:20pm and spend(only $ 150) but still I’m a paying customer. I pulled my car up near the door so I could load up the meat I just bought. The blond, middle aged women, with the glasses… what at «C U Next Tuesday» was just nasty, how fast she forgot that I just spend money in the shop. She started crying & carrying on about me parking in front of the store and blocking the door(and by this time it was almost 5:30pm and they close at 5:30pm). She was just plain rude and nasty about where I parked to load up my purchase. First of all I was not blocking the door and second how about giving me a location to park so I can load up the meat I just bought… NO she just couldn’t do that, she just keep running her nasty/rude mouth. I explained to this b**** that I just put my car here, less than 30 seconds ago, so I could load up the big box of meat that I just bought… she didn’t care, she just kept going on and on and on about how I was blocking the door and preventing the customers from entering the store. I guess she didn’t know it was 5:30pm and they were now closed… or that I just spent $ 150.00 in the store(who cares about that, I guess). Someone should remind this old nasty battle axe that without paying customers, she would not have a job and to be nice to the customers. Well go job to that nasty employee, you just lost a customer. And this was my 8th time shopping there… SAD(for you) :(

I give it 5 stars because my family have been going here since forever, but the white lady in the booth with dirty platinum hair is a mean ass bitch with a bad attitude. Make her in charge of something in the back so no one has to deal with her shit. Also, there are old papers posted all over the walls that are totally irrelevant to the business that has Spider cob-webs on them & has been posted there since before I was born & I am almost 30 years old. I am just sayin –

I can see how some would find this place perhaps prohibitively eccentric, but I think it’s a total gem and well worth the adventure of getting there and enduring the odd alarms and signage. What you should know first and foremost is that this place is CHEAP and the meat looks good. I am the daughter of a butcher, and while the initial decorum was not exactly what I was accustomed to, the guy that runs this place(while possibly a little crazy) is old school and does it right. An alarm goes off whenever the door is open, there are some weird ass signs that plaster the walls, lost children alerts from 1984 and hate letters to cell phone enthusiasts all over the place. The guy in the back may or may not have a wandering eye, there are angry notes about how playing the video games will break them and the menus are all under glass on tables in ten point type. But in my opinion, it’s worth it. This is wholesale, so it’s cheap. The guy is thorough– shows you the cut before you buy it to make sure you approve(which every butcher should), and he gives you the cut you ask for. They have everything you could really want(poultry, pork, beef, lamb, goat, seafood, etc.) and it’s all priced very nicely. AND they help you to your car. My advice– don’t be put off by the signage, don’t play the video games, don’t use your cell phone in the store and don’t go after dark. Enjoy!

This place is like a Costco but for meat only. And it’s a little weird, cuz you can’t see the stuff you’re about to buy. You walk in to the sound of a burgler alarm, and the guy cracks this sliding window open, it’s a little like a meat speakeasy. Which is just awesome. You have to take it on faith that the guy isn’t gonna burn you, cuz you pay before you even see what you get, and all sales are final. If you can get over that part, the rest is easy. The meat I got there has always been great quality. I bought some korean style short ribs, racks of lamb, and some funny things like ducks, geese and what not. The short ribs were beautifully marbled and he cuts them to your specified thickness. The racks of lamb were NZ already vacuum packed, Frenched(completely trimmed down), and looked like delicious meat lollipops once grilled and carved. I have never tried their prime cuts like ribeyes or filets etc, but I plan to do that soon. You need to know that everything he sells is frozen. I buy a few days before a party and let the stuff thaw in the fridge. This place is really great if you need to buy large quantities of meat, for a 30 person bbq for example, or if you usually buy meat in large quantities and freeze it for your personal consumption. It is NOT the place to go if you’re having a couple friends over or cooking for your girlfriend.

I don’t know how I failed to see this outlet before, nestled behind Polarica’s . The listings of what is available is plastered on tables which are hard to view when there is more than one group surrounding them. I couldn’t take the time to really consider what I wanted before I noticed a sign that says a $ 10 minimum upon entering due to an alarm system that is installed. WHAT??? As soon as the guy stepped away from the counter we slipped out the door.

Great selection. Great prices. Friendly people. What more could you want when you are buying your meat?! I have a dog that eats a raw meat diet and I come here every other month or so and load up on all kinds of things I can’t always get at the regular grocery store(like beef hearts and turkey necks) and at MUCH better prices. Makes me kind of angry that I have been paying those crazy prices for so long! Anyway, if you want meat for your labor day barbecue, a whole roaster pig for your Hawaiian luau, or a variety of meat and guts for you raw-fed dog, Angus Meat Outlet is the place!
