This one is kind of hard... The sandwiches are good-not great. Kind of skimpy on the meat but $2 for extra meat is totally reasonable. The service is also just okay. Maybe it's because they were very busy. Not mean, not rude, just okay. Sandwiches were made quickly and correctly and are reasonably priced so that's what counts. It's small. Like tiny. And if busy the little place is stacked. A couple of tables to eat. It's fine. Lots of flies all over and I'm assuming from the open side window and the door opening all day. But that kind of grossed me out. It's a local institution and worth trying but for me it's just okay. read more

We tried a very small, longtime meat shop in Chico that's easy to miss because of its location, but I'm so glad we found it. The sandwich was absolutely delicious and fresh, flavorful and clearly made with care. Debbie was incredibly kind all the employees greeted us with such kindness and very welcoming, Debbie she even throw in a few goodie's, Which was such a nice surprise. I would definitely recommend. To anyone looking for great food and friendly service. A true local gem ! read more

Through the years I had elk expertly cut and wrapped. Purchased many made to order sandwiches, yum. I can't leave without some bacon, both styles. Maybe a tri-tip, some sausages or some other tempting goodies. Hard to go wrong there. Wait toss a half ham im the bag ! read more

My husband eats here every Thursday without fail. He says it's the best sandwich in town. We also buy their sausages. They have a variety and boy are they delicious. He's been eating here for years and will continue for years to come. read more

Great selection. Bacon and sausages are excellent. The place is always hopping. Good service too.

I am home now after picking up some wild hog I had dropped off for them to make sausage out of . Earlier today I had called them to see how much it was going to cost, and to my disbelief the lady on the phone replied, "if the bill is correct, it'll be 505.70$". That was a major red flag already. The fact that she said IF the bill is correct , how are you not gonna know if it's correct or not. Make that shit make sense ‍. There should've been no reason to say that unless they were being disingenuous. Then when I get over there I gave the lady at the front my name so she could get my order happily ready to charge me that outrageous price knowing good and well that it was way too steep for the amount of meat I had brought in. So I tell her to explain to me how they arrived at such a price and she looked genuinely shocked that I spoke up about it. Which leads me to believe they do this often to others that aren't very knowledgeable and may be too shy or scared to speak out. So she goes to talk to one of the butchers and then she comes back with said butcher and they walk into a room behind the counter. Already the butcher looked irritated at the fact I wasn't about to let them over charge me like crazy. As they're behind the counter she says it'll be 50$ off and goes back to talking. After a couple minutes she comes back and starts off by throwing a "new girl" under the bus saying she must've got the numbers wrong but that's neither here nor there. The fact of the matter is, she was willing to let me pay that scandalous price thinking I was gonna just go along with it. But after this experience I know for a fact they're a shady business and will outright rob you if given the chance. So if you ask me take your money elsewhere to an actual reputable butcher shop. I would give them no stars if I could. read more

First time here, came in the morning, looking for a breakfast sandwich of some kind. I was greeted immediately, and a nice lady behind the counter made me a wonderful ham and cheese sandwich. Delicious and I will be back for more. read more

Chico Locker & Sausage Company is the best source of high-quality meats in Butte County. We served New York strip for my daughter's wedding, purchased from here, and received raving reviews for the quality and taste. Dave and Linda are truly community leaders who have helped shape Chico. Go there for lunch and have a sandwich, or buy meat for dinner (party); these folks are legit! Ask for a guy named JB; super quality guy! read more

Great Sandwiches, amazing meat and the staff is so friendly and genuinely happy! We ordered several different meats. They vacuum sealed each one for us! Ready for the freezer until we're ready to cook them. read more

Any time the Mr & I venture out to other cities, we (he) likes to Yelp sausages and meats. This location came up as close to our trip location. Bought a variety of sausages and a marinated tri-tip. First the sausages. They were so delicious. Loved the jalapeno & cheese sausage. The reviews were right and yelpers did not steer us wrong. Full of flavor and reasonably priced. The tri-tip. MY GOODNESS. The Mr. BBQed it at home and the flavor, tenderness and cost made it a no-brainer. We are already planning on what we will buy and bring home with us next time! read more

So last night I'm thinking about a Big Harvey's, a sandwich created with pastrami, ham,swiss cheese,and I opted to be on a long onion roll,not heated. Added red onion,a light gourmet mustard,no lettuce, side plated the pickles and tomatoes. The pastrami was homemade which made the whole eating experience a slice of heaven. People their couldn't have been any more business/friendly. In their words "We are a full service butcher shop, retail meat market, and deli located in Chico, California." I suggest you go in,look around,check the deli out,order something and take a seat. They have just enough tables to keep it a comfortable atmosphere. It is more than a meat locker with prepared meats,side dishes,and desserts. I'll be back for the friendly atmosphere and the taste. read more

Havent been here in years, revisited it and oh man the sandwiches are delicious. Only reason I'm knocking off one star is because it's not a very welcoming experience, I feel rushed and cut off when I'm talking and they seem annoyed when you don't know the exact lingo they're looking for when you order lol... their tense and rushed vibes (even when not busy) give me stress, but the sandwiches are worth it. read more

I love the service and the food! Best sandwiches in town and their selection is amazing! read more

Recently bought a half ham and it had delicious flavor. Didn't have that extreme salty taste you find in some hams. It had hardly any fat, so you paid for meat instead. My wait in line was very minimal, so was out the door in record time. read more

I got a mini turkey sandwich with all the fixings and they have great customer service and a relaxing ambiance.

Great sandwiches! A huge selection of incredible sausages. The second best pastrami I have East of Katz Deli in NYC. If you like sausages, smoked meats and sandwiches and are in Chico, you have to check this place out! read more

Came here for my lunch break, was better than expected! Friendly staff, gave me great suggestions to go along with my day-of-the-week sandwich! I had the smoked sausage sandwich and they've set the bar high. Stopping by next time for tri-tip! Thanks for a great lunch CLSC, earned a new customer! Update: I've been back two more times in the last 10 days (yes it's really that good). I've tried the French Dip and Tri-Tip sandwiches now. And man, I'd give em more than 5 stars if I could. Definitely a new favorite spot of mine. Thanks guys! read more

Ordered the Thursday special, I think the tri tip, with pickles, banana peppers, onions, and bbq sauce and it was...chefs kiss! Shout out to the person making sandwiches that suggested I get it with bbq sauce, it did not disappoint. I'll definitely come back if I'm in the area again. read more

Sweet baby Jesus do I wish LA had someplace like this. Just walking up to this place you can smell that they are serious about their meats. We stopped in Chico for two things;the Sierra Nevada brewery and meat from this place. I ordered a bunch of tri-tip on for a weekend bbq bender with friends in Oregon; everyone was drooling at the results and subsequent left overs. Not only do they have supremely delicious meats and in house made sausages; their customer service was beyond. They treat you like they appreciate your business, something that is increasingly hard to find these days. read more

Best sandwich in Chico. I have been going there for 25 years or more and always get a great sandwich. Their meat is first class and always fresh. I love their sausages and smoked salmon. It does not get much better then this. An old style deli/butcher with great handcrafted meats. This is no fast food place people. This is the real deal. Take advantage of this place while it is still there. These kind of gems are a dying breed. read more

Soooo gooood! Best sandwich I've had in a long time, and definitely the best on this side of town. Equally as good as Spiteris across town, tho slightly more expensive. Their smoked sausages are so good, try the cheesy Bavarian or jalapeño pineapple next time you bbq! read more

This place is incredible. If you know you know and if you don't you should go find out. Beautiful Steaks, incredible sausages of a bazillion flavors made in house. Always kind and on point. Go go go! read more

Great sandwiches, great meats. Have tried several sausages, and salami. Everything is top notch.

I'm new to the area and wanted to check this place out. The first time I went they were about to close and I was able to understand why the guy behind the guy was so rude. It was my fault to get there so late so I shouldn't expect the best customer service. But the second time I went (yesterday), I went in the middle of the day and the guy was still a little rude. And what I mean was just rushing me. I wanted to look around and see what they had but he made me feel really uncomfortable. I will not be going there again. The only reason why I did give them three stars is because the tri trips I got were soooooo good. But then again so is my favorite butcher shop in Marysville, I rather go there then be rushed. read more

I typically LOVE the sandwiches here and have no doubt the food is still outstanding....unfortunately, my first visit in a while began with opening the door of their very small shop, immediately seeing two men sitting and eating, no masks, (restaurant indoor seating is currently illegal due to the county's infection rate.) Next, thewoman behind the counter, about to make my sandwich (middle age, short blonde hair, owner?) was neither wearing a mask or gloves. When I asked "May I ask why you aren't wearing a mask or gloves?" she pointed to a sore on her lip and said, "I have a cold sore and I have asthma." (The cold sore was raging and yucky!) I am high risk for COVID-19. I'm shocked that this happened so casually and that SHE was offended by my question. I said that I was sorry but I didn't want the sandwich she was about to make and left the shop, totally upset. I simply feel that AT THIS SENSITIVE TIME, a person in food service should not be handling food without gloves or mask. I even think it is required under current food safety regulations. read more

First Christmas in Chico and was looking for a ham. I was told that Chico Locker & Sausage was the place to go. We ended up buying a ham that was much larger that we needed since it was the last one, which was a little challenging to warm up and carve, but it was definitely a hit with our crowd! I was told that the hams are locally sourced and smoked, which was very appealing. I thought it was good ham, although not as smoked as I would have liked, I don't know if there is an 'extra smokey' version, which would be great. Overall, it was delicious ham, very tender, which was a nice surprise and we had lots of ham to send everyone home with some and plenty of leftovers! read more

The sandwiches here are absolutely delicious. The meats are out of this world. I bought some steaks for my anniversary and my wife wanted to marry me again. We bought some ham for Christmas and it was to die for! Everyone here is super friendly and covid responsible. Great food, great people. read more

Excellent barbecued chicken, excellent try tip sandwich. Very nice and helpful staff. I will definitely be going back soon.

Been going here a couple years now and can say best sandwiches in town. Also BBQ ribs and marinated chicken on Tuesdays are the bomb. Staff is nice and fast, they do get really busy and it's best to call your order a hour or two ahead of time. read more

Beautiful market! Reminds me of place in time , perhaps the 30's. Meat case is well stocked with an array of various beautiful cuts of sausages ,cold cuts, steak, roast ,and" my fav the old fashioned all beef Frank's." The type that are linked together. Ah-mazing Although, the deli the small portion of the building, it's conventionally​ setup as an in and out. There's also a freezer providing exotic meats, and in the middle is stand that provides something for even the dogs. However, the customer service has always been an issue. I'll admit when I began coming here 20+ years ago I may have been just another face in the crowd . But their products are great quality. read more

Chico locker has the best products and service in the Chico area. If you like chorizo give it a try at Chico Locker, it is lean and bursting with flavor. I recently tried Bangers and that was also a big hit in our house. If you are a vegetarian do not go near Chico Locker because you will be a meat eater for the rest of your lives. read more

Good food made right in front of you. I will be back again when I visit. I ordered the smoked turkey and I could only eat half. That good.

My husband and I dropped by Saturday for a pastrami sandwich. The employees were friendly and we were served quickly. My problem with the sandwich was the bread was very stale. Almost crumbling into sand, texture was horrible. But the pastrami was very good, lean and flavor able. I would come back and buy the pastrami and make my own sandwich or just go to spiteri's were they have great sandwiches down. read more

Was looking for somewhere new to try. A yelp search brought up Chico Locker and thought why not. I've had my deer processed here for years and seen that they have a deli. So glad we did, sandwiches were great. Will most definitely be back here again. read more

Amazing meat! I didn't realize how good I cooked tri-tip till I got a good cut ;-) I usually grab meats at safeway when I do all my other shopping but after trying the meats from the meat locker it doesn't even compare!!!! The sandwiches are also really good. read more
