Family members have been raving about this place for quite some time as an excellent source for quality meats. We live on the other side of town but made the drive to check it out. It's a cool looking store with lots of great stuff. Everything is beautifully displayed. This is a great place for someone who loves the barbecue. On this day we chose some seasoned chicken thighs, and a package of seasoned chili Verde. The people are great. They are very helpful with giving you ideas on how to prepare the different meats. We wandered around and checked out the variety of products they offer. The store is laid out very nicely. On checkout, we mentioned it was our first visit there, and we got two free sausages of our choice. Can't beat that. We cooked the chicken thighs that night. They were tender and delicious. We had the chili verde day yesterday. We slow cooked it in the afternoon, and enjoyed it in the evening. This is a very comfortable place to shop and we're looking at going back. If you haven't checked out Butcher's Block, make sure you do. read more

For the best meat. Best advice on smoking meat. Best service. Happy employees and the willingness to explain over and over again to a newbie on how to smoke a certain meat every time I wanna try something new. This is the place to go. The butchers are always so friendly and easy to talk and don't talk down to you if you don't understand. They have even told me when something is a little too ambitious for me just yet as I'm still learning. So they not only listen but help you not waste your money before you're ready. Which for me is plus. I'm a customer for life. For all our bbq and smoking meats we shop there. They even have an app. The store is always so clean and welcoming. Give them a try. Let them know it's your first time there and see what happens. read more

Great local butcher shop and conveniently located in the northwest. My husband is a grill master. He's been to Butcher Block several times to pick up a variety of cuts. The butchers behind the counter are super friendly and knowledgeable about their products. Their meats are high quality and always fresh. So far, we've tried the tomahawk steak, filet mignon, ribeye, tri-tip, lamb chops, Basque sausage, and I believe it was called jalapeño cheese sausage (my favorite). Everything we've tried was fresh and delicious. Really good quality meats here. You can also pick up some unique spices or a bottle of wine here as well. read more

I love me some butcher block! The meats that we have had are all great. Plus they do awesome 20$ specials throughout the week that feed 2. We usually do : Tuesday-tacos ( various boxes of different meats) Thursday-burgers (chuck or bacon cheddar) Friday-fish Don't forget to grab one of their red or green fresh salsas in the back. Beware the mango habanero it is SPICY! They also do really good specials on other baskets of meats. I love the fiesta pack for when we have family over. The only thing I do not like is that there is a tip option. At the butcher shop. That is so strange to me. read more

I've been here a few times now and I can say without a doubt they have some of the best cuts of meat, unique and flavorful sausages, knowledgeable staff, and just an all around well stocked and decorated place to pick up everything you would need for a great meal at home. The bacon mac n cheese sausage was surprisingly delicious and you could actually see bits of bacon and noodles in it. I've tried a filet, ribeye, and New York and they were all high quality and delicious. Nest of my to try list is some other sausages and the compound butter! read more

**2.5 Stars** Yelp won't let you do half stars unfortunately.... It seems like I and this butcher thing is like groundhog day lately!! You know that movie? Or like getting a boyfriend then feeling like oh shit what a big ass mistake that was!! Haha! But wow the same thing that happened at my last butcher happened here god i'm so sick of the inconsistencies!! This place is beautiful when you walk in very clean!! Customer service here is also good. A plus is when you buy the brisket burgers you get free brioche buns with them! And i will say the brisket burgers are my absolute favourite things from here! The short ribs and filet were fine as well but honestly i've had better but at least it wasn't bad or poor quality! But that's where it ends. Last time my son and I got some sausages different flavours and when I opened them up 3 of the 6 were spoiled and yes we were cooking them the day we got them! How do you not know you are giving me spoiled sausages? And no i'm not calling you to complain because you know what, you are a butcher you have one specialty which is meat! You know if your meat is bad! And if you don't then shame on you. We also got skirt steak aka flap meat which i have been cooking for many years i know how to cook a badass juicy skirt steak and this steak was the worst quality i have ever seen!! I paid around $20 for and it went in the trash! It was so tough literally like chewing gum but you couldn't even bite through it! I swear a rubber shoe would've been better! One of my filets were quite gristly which for that price i would think you'd trim it better. At least it was edible!! Taco boxes!! They have a taco Tuesday special we've tried and my older son has got them for his family too well it's unanimous a big fat no!! The meat in each one the asada and the pastor was so greasy like a pool of grease a lot!! Just not enjoyable. Which led to a lot being thrown away now I love fatty!! I'm the one eating that crispy steak and pork fat and moaning while doing so but this was different Lol!! The accoutrements that come with it were awesome but the main components not so great because of that grease. I hate truly hate giving "less than" reviews but after being here so much then every single time something is spoiled or poor quality i just gotta vent and be honest. Will I come back yea for those brisket burgers occasionally because those are Bomb!! But i've found a new local butcher as of today elsewhere so high hopes for that!! I truly wish you guys the best maybe double check and cook a bit of everything you have to make sure it's great quality first before packaging and selling and smell your sausages etc to make sure they aren't spoiled just keep a closer eye out not everyone will call you to report receiving bad meats nor should they have to most will just not come back. read more

I've been a loyal customer of The Butcher Block for about two years now, and I can confidently say it's the best butcher shop in Bakersfield. The quality of their meats is absolutely top-notch, and you can tell they take great care in sourcing only the best products. On top of that, the employees are always friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about what they do. Every visit is a pleasure, and I always leave satisfied. Highly recommend it! read more

Where to start? The store Butcher Block Quality Meats is just that. A butcher store with quality meats. But, that's not all. They also have a regular store selling other products. You can find clothing, hats and toys, amongst other items. The service is great. The people who work there are extremely friendly and helpful. The place is a little more expensive, but the quality of the meats outweigh the prices you pay. I purchased a steak and venison. Both were of excellent quality. I highly recommend Butcher Block for your protein needs. First Responders and Veterans get a 10% discount. read more

I want to express my appreciation for Marcelo at the Butcher Block. He was incredibly patient when I asked him to cut 22 pieces of Korean barbecue short ribs. He took his time, explained the process, and was genuinely kind throughout. A true professional and a good man. read more

Had the most amazing bacon wrapped filets from Butcher Block last night. Today we went back for their grand opening and to get some sauces for bread. Staff is friendly, helpful, knowledgeable, attentive. Selection is outstanding. Thankful we only live a street away. This will be our go-to place for all meats from here on out. Happy customers! Update 2/5:: Got the Garlic Butter marinated Tri Tip... WOW WOW WOW. Favorite. Today, got the cheddar burgers... to die for, amazing. Kickin Ash bbq a sauce is truly great. This is just great in general, but it's also cool to support this local business. We'll never stop going here. Need them to restock the Maple Aioli on shelf so I can buy and try! read more

This shop is unbelievable. A staff of friendly, courteous, and skilled butchers ready to cater to your every need. See a cut not just right, they'll go in back (to their cutting room) and cut anew whatever you describe. They'll butterfly a cut and stuff it to your desire. Real customized service. I'm hooked. I've compared their meat to other stores and costco and theirs is the best by far. Will never buy meat from any other shop. Tenderness and taste out of this world. And they give a military discount. You folks are the best....! read more

We came by the other day to order some meats for a party. And they really do carry quality meats. First off this place is huge!! It's so spacious and really clean. They carry all sorts of meats, as well as sauces, oils, and everything that's needed for a good bbq. And the meats are really good quality. We bought about 3 lbs of wagyu ribeye, bone marrow as well as a tomahawk steak. Prices are high, but for the quality it's totally worth it. The wagyu ribeye was about $130 a lb, which sounds like a lot. But when restaurants charge $80 an oz, it really makes $130 a lb looks like a steal. The marbling and high fat content of the wagyu is just top notch. They offer it from the quarter inch cut all the way to the 2 inch thick sizes. They also carry bone marrow, which they slice for you also. And it was quite affordable. For 3 whole pieces or 6 cuts it was less than $22. I dont know whether the tomahawk was cooked thr following day or what, but it seemed as though it had a smell to it. Everyone said there wasent but it smelled a bit rancid. They have everything there to make a really nice meal. What makes this place really stand out though is not only the knowledge and skill set of the butchers (which all butcher shops should have), but their customer service was really top notch too. The butcher that helped me out was really nice. Put his 2 cents in when asked. But was not pushy or rude. Very knowledgeable. Helpful. Gave me the needed information to assist me in making the wagyu turn out the best it possibly can. I would definitely come back here again to get some high quality meats, at a respectable price. 3 lbs of wagyu, 6 slices of bone marrow, a tomahawk steak and a bag of crustinis and hot dog buns was in the mid $500's. Which sounds like a lot, but for 7 adults and 4 children it was about 2 meals worth, so not bad at all for high quality meats. read more

This place sure did keep you wanting more with their sign up fairly early on way before they were even close to opening! I had been dying to try it out all summer! One day I'm scrolling on Facebook and a deal went flying by. When I backed up and seen it was from the elusive place I'd been driving by for months, I had to click to see what they were offering. To my surprise it was my favorite meal...TACOS!!!! So they offer 2 pounds of either Asada, chicken, or pastor with an onion, cilantro, jalapeños, a lemon and a 12 pack of either flour or corn tortillas. All for $20!!! Yes, you heard me correctly, just $20! Let's just say, I couldn't get down there quick enough to pick up my Taco Box! My first impression of the place upon walking in was Trendy. It's a cute spot, open and airy, with all the fixings and of course the butcher block (or as I like to call it, Butcher Bar). They have everything from chuck roast steaks to wagyu tomahawk steaks! They even have BEEF chili verde sausages and a cheese and jalapeño stuffed tri tip! They also have a plethora of salsas, local bbq sauces and chips! Once I ordered my box and let the butcher know which meat I wanted (asada), it was time to grab my tortillas. I was just in time for some warm ones that were just layed out. When I brought the box home, my husband said I'd wasted my money...$10 a pound for taco meat?! Needless to say, I cooked the meat anyway and he literally ATE HIS WORDS! The meat was seasoned perfectly! (A huge difference from the new location of the Vallarta market on Rosedale) All the provided fixings were amazing! So much so that I went back the next week for another taco box! And I'll probably go back again next week! This time I'm not leaving without some homemade salsa and a couple of steaks! read more

I'd definitely recommend Butcher Block Quality Meat to anyone in town. I've been going here since they opened. They have great quality products. They always have what I'm looking for. They give recommendations on products that you may not have tried before. They are always helpful and reliable. A little pricey but worth every penny. You can definitely tell the difference between their meat and meat you get at big supermarkets. The shop is always clean and the layout is great, not cramped and backed full of random products. read more

Absolutely outstanding! It was nice to come into town and have Butcher Block as an option! The layout of the store is awesome, and their selection of meats, sauces and seasonings is amazing.

I've been living in Bakersfield for over 5 decades and always swore by a local meat shop for over 30 years. My wife seen a advertisement on Google for a new local butcher closer to my residence that looked promising, so I decided to give Butcher Block Quality Meats a try. OMG best filet mignon I have ever tasted. The prices were way less expensive than the other local competitor and way better quality meats. Sorry old friend, I believe I found my new favorite butcher with some of the best quality meats at a better price to fit my budget along with great customer and friendly service. read more
