I wanted to make pizza so I got the spicy Italian & pepperoni sausages for it, and both of them were soooo tasty. Three sausages + the $6 basil pesto totaled a little over $18. Of course $12 for three sausages isn't particularly sustainable for a lot of us, but when it's a special occasion or you're wanting to treat yourself, it's very worth it :) The staff is great, and the place is located in an area a lot of parking and close to balboa. The basil pesto was also really yummy, I added a little lemon to it because I love a little more citrus in mine and it really made all the flavors pop.

Today, I ordered the Steak Tip and Fries (6oz. Marinated Angus Steak Tip). The steak was cooked to perfection (medium rare). And the fries were cooked in beef tallow- chef's kiss! The quality of meat and seasoning was unparalleled 10/10! Super tender and juicy and packed with tons of flavor! My wife ordered the Smashed Burger and Fries (Sliced House Marinated Angus Steak Tips with Grilled Onions and Peppers). The beef patty had a really nice sear on the outside and caramelized crust 10/10! Prices are reasonable! And staff are super friendly and helpful! And the vibe is lively! I have yet to order any fresh cuts of meat from the butchers- that's definitely on my to-do list! First impressions- these guys are the real deal! It's pretty evident they bring the highest quality ingredients to their customers! I would recommend this spot to anyone looking to buy top grade, high quality meats and delicious food!

He's giving me his childish version of evil eye. I don't appreciate some paranoid butcher treating me like a criminal because of a quick photo session OUTSIDE the store. At least he succeeded at showing how unprofessional and disrespectful he is. It's pointless to shop at a store where I'm treated like crap. I'll buy my meat elsewhere.

A butcher will appear more expensive but when you factor in the waste from pretty much all the grocery stores and big box stores you are actually saving money. I was tossing out what should have been good meat from so many of our local grocery chains so my husband and I decided to check out the local butchers and I was surprised at how much better their meats are at the Hook and Cleaver. They are willing to take the time to help you decide on the best meats and I was really impressed. No more fatty steaks and meat that turned into chocking hazards when cooked, everything we have purchased from this shop is excellent. The quality and freshness of their steaks are phenomenal! I have always been a good cook but with finding this shop it turned up my cooking to a whole new level. It's a good feeling to know that the owners and everyone working here are very honest and friendly. I'm picky about my food and this shop truly is a cut above.

It was a very meaty burger, no lettuce, onion or tomato which highlights the dry aged patty. The bun was nicely toasted and the bacon crispy. The havarty cheese was nicely melted. It was a tasty burger but I think I'd like to try the double cheese burger next time since it has lettuce and tomato for a fresher taste. I also got an order of beef fries. They were crisp but not as crunchy as I had imagined. They were also a bit pricy at $6. Though it was a good amount of fries. They are primarily a whole animal butcher/meat market but they do have sandwiches and burgers. Service was friendly and courteous but there were a lot of online or call in orders so my order took a bit longer. I ate on one of the few seats outside. There's a small parking lot that they share with the surrounding businesses but also some on the street. If you like a meaty burger like the friendly they the dry aged burger. If you like a fresher burger like Hodads or In n out give the double cheese burger a try.
