If I am near I make sure I stop to load up on steaks. Great quality beef and great people! Feels like a hometown Midwest butcher shop.

Best butcher in Ramona! (Or east county!) I shop here at least 1 time a week! Best price on QUALITY fresh frozen ground beef around!

I used to go to Poway Bisher but Poway has closed. Driving to Ramona is worth it because meat selections are good. Thank you for your service read more

Amazing selection of great cuts of meats (filet to Rocky Mountain oysters! haha) We got the sugared bacon, carne asada, hot dogs, rack of ribs, and bratwursts. Luckily right was we walked in they had cooked a fresh brat and gave us a try. We were convinced and splurged on the brats! I wanted to also get a bottle of their cold pressed oils, but I'll save it for next time. Great and reasonable prices of meats, considering inflation right now. Our dog loved the meats so much he pulled out the half rack and started chowing! Came back to this after we grabbed a cigar next door. read more

Walked in. Had a really bad smell in there. Walked out!! Nothing really looked good in the case and the smell was a turnoff.

Picked up a rack of pork spare ribs for the holiday. Unfortunately I found out the ribs had been sliced all the way through multiple times. They had the ribs rolled up which concealed the damaged meat. I get that accidents happen when cutting meat but this absolutely ridiculous especially how they rolled up the ribs to hide their damaged meat. Will never be coming back. read more

Every year I get prime rib/ 4 bone for thanksgiving/ this year did it again/excellent taste/always great service/ my buddy Joel simms recommended this butcher shop years ago and it is the best read more

Big disappointment. Spent $174.02 days ago, $150 worth of their best steak. I asked if he would cut the steak in half and he said yes. I am a senior and I portion my meals out. Paid for the items, went home to re-pack and they had taken all the 1 inch thickness steaks and cut them butterfly so now they were half inch steaks! Ruined all the food for the month! Doesn't taste the same on the barbecue and I like them medium rare. Will not go back. Perhaps someone should teach these younger generation boys what the definition of "cut in half" is and if they were unsure, why wouldn't they ask me? I never would have thought that they would destroy my steaks cutting them butterfly. read more

I went there on Saturday for the first time to get 12 New York steaks for my client's dinner party. The steaks we so marbled they looked like Kobe beef. I asked them to do a couple things for me which required a little extra time. They helped me out without hesitation. The client was very impressed with the quality and flavor of the meat. I told everyone at the party about them. Very pleased to find them. Will definitely be going back again. read more

After my first two stellar visits the last visit was somewhat of a disappointment. I had a request to make some seared Flat Irons so I stopped in to Bisher to see what they had. When I arrived, the owner was helping another costumer, the only other person in the shop (besides another butcher). The owner was describing his appearance on The Butcher show recently. I didn't mind waiting so I took a look at what was available in the case. I didn't see any Flat Irons. A young butcher working behind the counter asked he could help be and I said I was looking of a Flat Iron but would take some Flap or Skirt meat if it looked good. I was shown some decent looking Flap meat so I got two plus pounds, at about $10 a pound. I got my meat wrapped and was going to say hello to the owner but it was like I wasn't even in the shop. Odd. We have spoken during several past visits and it just seemed uncomfortable so I headed out to the car. I'm spending extra to support a local business when Costco carries more variety for less. Maybe I expect more from the local butcher and maybe that's my problem. Even a hello maybe. read more

It was the steak I've been dreaming about for a couple of years.. Yep.. that's how long it's been since this carnivore was able to cook her beloved rib eye, seared in a cast iron skillet and basted in brown butter. Due to circumstances beyond our control have been without the proper cooking facilities OR the right piece of meat. Here it is.. 14 ounces of prime boneless rib eye. Perfection I tell you.. thank you Bisher's ! You've made this girl very happy. read more

Best place for meat selection. Wide variety, fresh, and an awesome staff. Had help with selecting certain cuts and even with how best to prep and cook some cuts I was unfamiliar place. Since finding this place every time I visit my friend out here I stop here to get something for lunch and dinner because it is too good to pass up. read more

Truet me. I want to love this place. But I can't. Every time I go I regret it. Meat is not fresh and place isn't the cleanest either. Both time i bought chops they were spoiled by the next evening when i took them out of the refrigerator. Horrible smell. I hope they fix this problem because I want to support small local businesses. read more

Visited here for the first time today and wish I had been sooner! The selection of meat is amazing and the quality is top notch. All the staff were super helpful and informative. Highly recommend buying from here! read more

Old Skool butcher providing service and quality seldom found anymore. These folks know their meat and are super friendly. What a contrast to the typical, bland experience found in supermarkets of bulk, prepackaged meat prepared either behind a glass wall or offsite. Sausages are made fresh, on premises and the varieties vary often. The quality is consistently good. Same goes for the homemade corned beef. Not a scrap of fat on it, super tender. Bishers supplies corned beef to many SD area restaurants for St. Paddy's day. Similarly, the chorizo is also made in house and is delicious. The funny bit is that this guero butcher shop provides it's chorizo to many area Mexican restaurants. read more

First off this place is great! I was greeted by a friendly butcher in a clean business! He was kind and courteous and beyond patient. I am a single mommy and there is no way I could have prepared such amazing ribs without his advice. He was even nice enough to repeat the instructions a second time. I'm not sure if the meat was organic because quite frankly I don't care lol I'm a red blooded American shopping in a home town butcher shop! I do know the meat was so tender my 1 year old with 5 teeth was able to eat it with no problem! Btw I posted a pic of my lil man destroying his Baby back ribs. I can see from reading the bad reviews that these must be from people who are generally unhappy. I will be back thanks a bunch! Looking forward to more BBQ tips as well! read more

I went in for some prime rib and the butcher who helped me was fantastic. He helped me decide how much to buy and wrote down instructions for me for cooking the prime rib. It was absolutely perfect! The meat and veggies were all cooked exactly as we like them and the meal was a hit. Perfect medium rare meat, it was seriously beautiful. I will most definitely be back and won't buy prime rib anywhere else now. read more

The owner Daniel was rude and down right nasty. He agreed to some work for a charity and it was clear he did not want to and took it out on myself and my wife. He did not deliver the cuts agreed to. After having a sign on the wall and agreeing to certain modifications to the sign, he yelled at me that I did not ask for something as simple as bacon. I got 2 pigs and no bacon!!. What the h*ll, zero bacon out of 2 pigs around 175 on the hood? Daniel was the most arrogant and rude person I have some business with in a long time. My personal opinion is that you should do business elsewhere. read more

I have never shopped here at the store in Ramona. Was looking forward to a great New York steak. Told the young salesmen that I was going to share the steak with my husband so give me a large one. He picked one out and never showed it to me. I should have asked to see it but trusted him. When I got home I realized that the whole tail of the steak was fat and weighed 3.34 once on my scale. My husband will have a great steak. I will have baked potatoes paid cash and never got a receit, called to explain that he should of shown me the steak but the oh well attuide was over the top. read more

Thank you Bisher's for providing us with the most amazing dinner from the amazingly delicious marinated ranch chicken breast to the mushrooms jammed packet with cheesy deliciousness.

During the covid-19 pandemic I placed an order for a meat pack. It took longer than normal which were understood and were must have called almost every other day, but they were very patient and kind and explained to us both in the beginning and on every phone call that it might take a while because of high demand, but if we stick it out we will get it. So we did and when I went to pick up my order they were very sincere and apologized for any inconvenience and thanked us for being patient because they've been so busy due to the high demand. Every robe I've stepped foot in there they've always been very kind, patient, and helpful. And we just tried their bratwurst for the first time and it was phenomenal. So thankyou guys at bishers who always make it an enjoyable experience and taking care of your customers during these times of panic. read more

Unfortunately, today I have to give Bisher's an unfavorable review. My husband called earlier this week and asked about a "turduckhen".... the gentlemen at Bisher's took the order and said the order would be ready Saturday by noon. He explained to my husband that the 3 pieces would be ready with instructions. When my husband got there they presented him with a frozen, pre-prepared turduckhen. Granted it was cheaper ... just not the freshly cut items promised. Very disappointed with this. They said it could be cooked frozen and would take four hours. It's been 5 hours, we have family waiting for dinner and it's almost 8pm. Turduckhen is not going past 140F. Not impressed. Feel this was a lazy way out for Bisher's staff. Understandably it's a busy time for all but this was NOT good customer service and what we have come to expect from Bisher's. read more

Please don't waste your time going to the grocery when you need to get your steak on. Come to Bishers. They have great quality meats and a large selection, and I've yet to be disappointed by anything they sell. New York Strip is my favorite. read more

I have to say the meat tasted ok, but they lied to me. I told them I only eat organic (because I dont want hormones, antibiotics, etc. in my meat) and they told me although their $70 roast was raised that way it wasnt certified organic. I am good with that. I buy at Ramona Family Naturals, the Saturday Market, etc as long as it is hormone and pesticide free. But I got sick from this roast - and I spent a fortune to get it. No one else got sick, so it wasnt bad meat. They just lied to me and I am sensitive to hormones and stuff in meat. They should have been honest with me! read more

I'm a fan of Bishers. It's a good all american place. Kids working there are respectful and helpful. The butchers are knowledgable and have some good ideas on how to prepare the meats. In fact, every time I make pot roast I use the recipe they gave me. Their carne asada is very good, their no nitrate hot dogs are awsome, and the shrimp, frozen, were really good under the broiler. I can't stand the mass chain union butchers. Rarely do they do out of their way to provide serivce. You pay more at Bishers but it's nice to support a local business and get some good products at the same time. read more

I've been coming to Bishers since the early 2000s. Friendly staff, the place is clean and smells like a meat market is supposed to smell like. The quality is by far the best and you can't go wrong with anything you purchased here. They have exotic meats and steaks as thick as you want them. You can't go wrong when you shop here. read more

I've been patronizing Bisher's in Ramona ever since it opened and have no problem with the quality of their product and have in fact spent a great deal of money in there over the years. But today I was treated so poorly by one of the employees I'm likely to never return. Even my wife, who is normally very patient, was taken aback at this person's attitude towards me and made comments about it to me the instant we left the store. He was patronizing, sarcastic and rude. Such a shame. read more

The reason why private meat stores exist is because they KNOW their beef and fowl. Their tenderloins(filets) Rib Eyes and New York strips are $$$$ but the difference can be realized from any discriminating palate. Their baby back pork ribs are unparalleled! Iowa Pork is just hands down WAY BETTER! Save your money from expensive restaurants and roll your own steaks. Off the grill, pressure cooked or oven baked, the proof is in the pudding. Hands down and like the websites says, "even the best grillers are better after going Bishers. " Just google "bishers" and you'll get them! read more

We had our pig processed by Daniel at the beginning of the month. Turn around time was just under 3 days from slaughter to cuts being ready for pick-up! We have no complaints. I live in El Cajon, so I grew up with Benny's Meats, when Benny retired and closed up his shop, we were left with nothing. Though Bishers (Ramona) is a drive, it's nice to see a true butcher shop surviving in this "big box store" economy. These guy's know their stuff, all questions I had were answered with a huge smile. I grabbed a few of their sausages and some chicken on my trip, I PERSONALLY RECOMMEND THE GARLIC RANCH CHICKEN, WOW! Absolutely delicious! Price: People, you get what you pay for, period. If you want some crap meat from an moron, head to Ralph's, Von's, Etc. If you want to support a local small FAMILY business, that showed me they know what their talking about, I definitely recommend the trip to Bishers. As for processing our pig, you will not find a better price or customer service in San Diego. It's worth noting, I personally witnessed our pig get put down and processed, I can honestly say I was pleased with the care and respect shown for the animal, as was the family that raised our pig for us. We will definitely be using Bishers for our next swine and possible steer in the works! Thanks Daniel, Josh and anyone else I didn't get the pleasure of meeting that makes Bishers a cool little Mom & Pop shop! Support your local 4-H, FFA or farmer and make sure you give Daniel a call for processing. Regards, Troy read more

This butcher shop treats me really well every time I go in! They have awesome meats, really great quality. I can't go in as often as I want. My wife won't let me!! Never go in and just come out with what I said I was going in for. Thanks, guys!! read more

I was surprised, and a little alarmed, today when I visited Bisher's to see the two gentlemen working behind the counter unmasked. I was masked and I pulled my selection from the cooler but had to pass it to the clerk who was not gloved either. This business handles food. I hope the management of Bisher's recognizes this disrespect to their customers and the danger they are bringing to their customers and busiiness. Covid-19 is not a hoax. read more

The guys here are great. I have know them for many years now, and have never been sorry. They go out of their way to give you the best meat in town. It is nice to see old businesses like a butcher shop around in this "Super Walmart" day and age where everything is cookie cutter and impersonal. I had their Red Oak Tri-tip this weekend and it was the best I have ever had. My personal favorites are the Chicken Jalapeno Sausages, the Prime Rib (7 Bone can be pricey, but so worth it), and the Deistel Farm Turkeys (especially during Thanksgiving). I also occationally get a flat of eggs there (which come from the local businesses). They are much larger than you are used to from the grocery store. My wife really likes the Traditional English Banger Sausages. If you go in there, ask for Dan or Josh, you can't go wrong. They can suggest good cuts for you if you are not sure. read more

Daniel is the man! My husband, a friend and I took Daniel's sausage making class recently and it was so much fun!! It was held at Bisher's and Daniel was very accommodating, knowledgeable and passionate about his craft. He is also very passionate about teaching so we learned a ton that evening. He limits the class to a small group so that every person can get the attention they need and it is very hands-on so prepare to get down and dirty! We made three different types of sausage from scratch, learned to break down a large pork shoulder with the scapula still in, each person went home with a variety of sausages, patties, and other goodies. Definitely well worth the cost of the class! You have to try it! Oh and get Daniel to tell you some crazy stories. :) read more

It's costly but very worth it! All of their cuts are of the highest quality. Great selection of "gourmet" meats also. For a special treat ask them to season the steaks for for you - Awesome! They are happy to provide grilling tips and help you when you are unsure of what to purchase. read more

Possibly the best ribeye I have ever had. On top of the amazing cut of meat, Daniel was extremely friendly and helpful to my girlfriend and I that just moved to Ramona. A family owned and run operation that earned every bit if the 5 stars from me. I can't see myself ever buying steak from the grocery store after having their aged ribeye tonight. read more

I noticed the reviews are either very good or Really Bad. The meat may be good (I don't know, see below; I walked out), but these are rude, crude people who are dishonorable to boot. My experience: Took a coupon there from the well-known Entertainment Book. Selected a pc. of meat & they put a rub on it. So far so good. When we got to the register it was a whole Different Story: Refused to honor the coupon - not one penny!, even thou it clearly was within the coupon's restrictions (that they had agreed to!). NEVER will go back. Don't patronize dishonest merchants! Sad to say it but they should close shop (apparently have closed the Poway store, they need to close Ramona too, that was the store I was at). read more

I love Bisher's Meats. Whenever I want to have a perfect steak at home, when I'm having friends or family over and I want it to be perfect I get my meat at Bisher's. It's true that it's more expencive but it's worth the price if you want high end restaurant grade meat for your event Bisher's is the only place to go. It's a Ramona family owned and operated butcher and that's important to me as a small business owner. I really try to support Ramona local merchants. read more

Quality meats is as true as it gets. I was introduced to Bisher's by my sister that lives down the street. They had the best bratwurst I can remember and the kabobs are awesome. The quality of the meats is so good I find reasons to drive from Santee to or through Ramona just for a "side trip" to Bisher's. Expect to spend $50-$100 because you'll want to keep adding different meats until you're broke. read more
