We've been going to Danny's for years now. It's the only place we get our steaks. They cut the filets fresh from the loin and they are ALWAYS tender and delicious. It's a great find! read more

I honestly can't believe I never knew about this little gem in Van Nuys off of White Oak and Vanowen! So I wanted to have a few friends come over with their kids on Sunday so they could play and we could watch football. I decided to hop on the grill, grab some drinks and make it a fun little day for everyone. I checked to see if my normal butcher spot was open but to my surprise it was permanently shut down. So I decided to look for a place nearby and came across Danny's Fresh Meat produce right around the corner from me. So I hop in the car and head over! It's in the same parking lot as Salsa and Beer so finding a park is always tough especially on a weekend. That parking lot is a nightmare but once you get a park it's all good. I walked in and it's a very small shop with a cashier in the front, two small isles of produce and meat in the back. It seems like it's all locals because everyone was talking to, who I assume was Danny, in the back working with the guys cutting up the meat. When it came to my turn, I told him I'd never been here so he explained what they do, how they cut the meat, the type of meats they have and that he's been there for 30 years! He is an extremely nice and helpful Armenian guy who has completely won me over. There are a few local places I love supporting in my community and he'll definitely be one of them. The place was very clean and organized. There wasn't a lot of produce but just enough to get your essentials. As for the meat, I picked up a pound and a half of beef loin tenderloin steak at $25.99 a pound and two pounds of marinated chicken breast cut in half's. He told me the steak would melt in my mouth and he told no lies!! The steak was so tender and everyone was asking where I got it from. He made sure to let me know he can slice it up any which way I needed it to be. Overall, Danny's is the perfect spot to grab some local produce and meat if you want to support your local businesses. It always feels good helping out people in your community. Beware of the parking though. 5 out of 5 Afros OOOOO read more

I feel like I have to update my review of this place. Nothing changed! Still the best spot in the Valley to get your meat.

The meat is always fresh. Full of flavor and ready to cook. Marination here is on point! I highly recommend this place.

This place is a gem. Amazing quality and extremely nice people. Worth the extra miles for the quality and price.

Danny's beef filet is absolutely, hands down, without any competition, THE best in LA. I've purchased meat from all kinds of places all over town. Danny's has been consistently putting out great filet at a well deserved price tag for quite some time now. I paid a tad over $120 for 10 lbs a week ago. They are quick and friendly with the service. While there, you can pick up a few things at the store. One con is the parking lot there is always crowded because of Salsa & Beer. read more

The best customer service, quality of meats and produce from this family owned gem in the Valley!

Superior flavor beyond any meat lovers expectations. I've catered cooked smoked grilled but Danny's has made all of it easy for me.I have more kebab and skewered meat photos than I have of myself. I do. Danny's is eclectic. Marinate it yourself by all means but I guarantee you Danny's has it perfected. Meat lover or not its A quick simple skewer perfectly marinated that assures a gourmet dinner every time. Clean wood fire with natural fire starters and you are set. read more

Amazing probably the best meat taste and quality in the valley beef pork are great and the lamb is amazing and flavorful

Danny's is a family run butcher and produce store. They treat every customer like family and even their employees. This is evident, as there is no turnover. I've purchased their marinated chicken kabobs, their filets, ribeyes as well as tri-tips. Their meats are so tender, we can use a butter knife to cut them at the dinner table! read more

They're always so friendly in there! Best kafta I have ever had (even though I don't want people to know so they don't run out )! Thanks for the magic! read more

Never going anywhere else but Danny's for my meat! Stopped in today for the first time to get some filets for a cookout and the guy behind the counter was busy cutting some steaks straight off the tenderloin. So so fresh, beautiful maroon color and marbling ... my mouth was watering. The guy behind the meat counter was very friendly and attentive, made sure we were getting exactly what we needed. For 4 6-8oz steaks, it was only 20 bucks! When I've gone to Whole Foods and gotten the same thing (but slightly lower quality) in the past, it totals out to 35 at the least so this was a nice change. The produce is also very fresh and inexpensive ... there isn't a *huge* selection, but they've got all your basics. I was so surprised at the low price for all this fresh, delicious food. read more

Danny's Fresh Meat Produce - So fresh and tender - Meat Shops Near Me - Van Nuys, California

Warning. Stay Away from this Place. jk. I want to give this place a negative review because im selfish and dont want to share the treasure this place has to offer. I been in this area for about 2 years now and im so happy we have a awesome place like this within walking distance. Looks like a family run Butcher/Produce shop. My buddy Armen the Electrician introduced me to this place and their super delicious marinated Filet. Everyone inside is super welcoming, courteous, and helpful especially the younger gentlemen behind the meat counter. He was helpful on how much filet to get for my game of throne party of 6. He took about 5 minutes to marinate it for me. i haven't tried the produce yet even though it looks fresh but im just a meat kinda guy for now. read more

Danny's was referred to me by a friend and I am so thankful. Danny's is the ONLY place I go to get my filets now. The steaks are always high quality and super tender. It's my favorite place! Don't miss out! read more

I've been comiing here for many years. Honest family owned small business. They have Marinated Filet mignon which is really the only reason I'm come here. I'll also get brown chicken Thighs that are also marinated. They have ground beef they have everything they even have a produce section with fruits and vegetables at a very very reasonable price. I highly recommend you stopping and taking a visit at the meat market read more

I stumbled across Danny's about a year ago and took home a couple of filet mignon to see how they stood up to Whole Foods. The price was half of WF and I was skeptical, until we cut into them. The first thing I noticed was the fine web of marbling throughout the steaks. I figured I was just lucky that day. So I went back, again and again and again. Now I buy a couple of pounds for the two of us, sometimes I sous vide with s/p and butter or high quality rendered bacon fat. Then I sear in a hot iron skillet. They grill up beautifully too. Heavenly. Plus, these people are genuinely kind. Every time I go I ask the same question, "WHY are your tenderloin so much better than Whole Foods?" They have never answered. They just smile. They don't do a lot of different cuts or meats, but what they do have is superior, in price and quality. Oh, the woman at the register took the time to tell me how to roast the fresh pistachios. Those are a real treat. Thanks! read more

Posted about our first visit to Danny's and the exceptional client experience. Now, I can say the quality of the beef was equal to the service. Awesome ribeye and filet, bbq'd both and my family and I were delighted. We will be back for more very soon. If your in the valley looking for quality butcher to buy from this is your place. read more

This is the best meat market hands down. Clean as a pharmacy, top-notch quality meat and produce and friendly staff unlike any other Armenian store.

I was turn on to this meat market by a friend. He was doing bbq and bought the beef filet from here. I was hesitant because it is hard to find good beef bbq. I have tried many different places and none has been that great to rave about. So i drove out to this meat market it was a drive but I am glad i did! The meat was so simply marinated that it was amazing! The beef filet was so tender and you can tell it was great quality! It was on a the pricier side But it is well worth it!! Will be back again!! read more

Best Armenian meat market ever ! Anyone around here that likes Armenian BBQ meat should try this place out

My family buys bbq multiple times a a week so it's hard to find a place they won't criticize. They absolutely love this place. Their meat is so tender and flavorful ! Thankful to have found them! read more

I found this place on Yelp and I thought I give it a try today. I walked in and I told the guy that I heard the beef fillet is really good here, he started laughing and agreed. I got 2lbs as a tester and headed home, when I was placing the fillet on the skewers, I could already tell the quality of the meat based on the seasoning, the color, smell and texture- Sure enough, this beef fillet was the best I have ever tried. So in short, don't waste your time driving around town to find quality, this is the spot. I have tired numerous Armenian places that advertise they have the best fillet mignon for BBQ but Danny's, is by far the very best. It's a little hole in the wall, but the quality is just amazing. It's a little bit more per pound then other spots, but you can't put a price tag on Armenian BBQ, bc at the end of the day it's quality that matters. Then 2lbs became 10lbs and this is the only place you should ever buy your meat. read more
