Deli and service... Excellent!!! Enjoyed a Pastrami sandwich with a pickle and potato salad. Sandwich is quite large and very filling. The place is nice and tidy, great customer service! There is a lot to choose. I did purchase home made banana bread. I will be back! read more

Every time this place - the pastrami just hits 5/5. We've also been noticing how consistent this place is regardless of who makes the sandwich. Kudos to all the staff and the owner for running a tight ship! We also finally noticed they have Voodoo chips, perfect complement to the sandwich. "Hidden" Gem Gourmet Meats for sure! Come here and blow this place up and support the owner! read more

I came here because my friend said they sell prime rib. I drove thirty minutes to get it! Over the phone, the guy said bone in is $27.99 and no bone is $30.99. Once I got there, the guys were friendly and attentive. In addition to different meats, they had seafood and innards in the fridge. On the shelves, they had all sorts of seasoning, tortilla chips, some produce, charcoal, and other condiments. The older man who rung us out at the register was totally like your friendly elder neighbor with white hair and glasses. This made it seem like a nice mom n pop butchery. Before they wrapped it up, they asked if I wanted seasoning. I said sure. When I got home to open it, the meat smelled really nice. It was $165 ish for 5 ish pounds of bone-in prime rib. It was tied up already, and maybe I should have asked them to help me trim the fat. I didn't see if they sold horse radish, but the digital meat thermometer they had was $16.99.

I feel like I got lucky because I was hankering for a classic sandwich and I found one at Gem Gourmet Meats. I was served pretty quickly and I ordered an Italian sub on a French Roll with cole slaw and a roast beef sandwich with their potato salad. In my experience at other sandwich places recently, it feels like you don't really get bang for your buck, but they really pile it on at this shop. The sandwiches I got were great and the fact they slice the meats to order is just the cherry on top of a delectable sandwich. Definitely drop by Gem Gourmet Meats for no-nonsense, delicious sandwiches for lunch any day of the week. read more

Best meat around! Awesome Sandwiches. Friendly and knowageble staff! Buy the best forget the rest.

Sandwiches are as good as it gets and large as well! I definitely recommend them! The meat selection is awesome also!

Gem Meats must be protected. Honestly, I'm not into all these new high end butcher shops. You can get a few neat things, but everything becomes insanely expensive. By comparison, Gem now seems quite reasonable. It's a no frills old school neighborhood butcher shop and I love it. Slightly more expensive than the grocery store, but so much better. I've picked up some giant beef plate ribs here- they come out great and they're priced pretty well. When I want to go a little extra I'll get prime grade tri-tips and they come out great. It really makes a huge difference. After shopping here and stopping by Vendome next door, you can have a great afternoon. read more

Our Porterhouse steak was so incredible good. Yes it was expensive $56. But so tender! We shared it and there was still some left. Salesman guy with red hair was the most unfriendly guy. No smile no Hello, nothing! Took the meats we want to purchase to the register, rang us up still no smile. He needs to work on customer service. We drove 40 miles to shop, but so worth it. read more

What a unassuming place that's set up for people who love to barbecue. I really just needed a sandwich because I was hungry and there wasn't anything around. So I took a chance and this place made a really good sandwich and the gentleman took great care of packaging in properly with the property utensils and a pickle decent potato salad great experience would definitely go there again. read more

I wish I had made the leap to come here earlier--I've been missing out! So far, I've tried the Italian sausage and ham shanks, and both are outstanding! After years of chewy Italian sausage with additives and questionable meat, it's a big upgrade. The meat is tender and flavored well (not overwhelming). At $5.99/lb, it's only a couple bucks more than Target, but much higher quality. Smoked ham hocks are kinda hard to find, so I'm so excited that Gem not only carries them regularly, they are the full shank. That makes it way meatier. It wasn't even more expensive than the big grocery stores. The butcher even cut mine into smaller pieces so that the flavor would come out of the bone better. The meat around the bone is so thick--it's a world of difference! And last, but not least, the staff are all very helpful and friendly. As a newbie, they took a few minutes to introduce me to their store and philosophy. It feels like being served at a gas station of the 50s. They also sell various condiments, snacks, cookies and canned goods, many of quality Italian brands. When I come into some more money (I wish!), I'd love to try the more premium cuts they offer. One day! read more

I go to GEM almost every week for something. Whether it's their sandwiches for lunch or picking up something to throw on the BBQ or put in the oven. read more

Everything is good. My favorite is the fresh roasted turkey because it reminds me of the turkey my dad used to make. Service is spot on all there recommendations keep me coming again and again and again. You can eat there if you ask but the room is too small. Eat outside? read more

You'll find a very impressive meat selection that will satisfy all of your grilling and cooking needs. I just came in for a sandwich but will be back for some meat. I was impressed with the quality of what I saw in the counters and if the sandwich is any indication, then I will not be disappointed with the cuts and chops I bring home. First on the list are those center cut pork chops that look like porterhouses. I'll keep you updated. Oh yeah, the Italian sub was killer. I would definitely have it again. read more

Delicious meats and many cuts I have not seen in the supermarkets in years. The gentleman who helped us was an expert at his craft. It's not cheap but it's worth every penny. read more

I love Gem meats. However for the first time and it will be the last time I get the chicken cordon Bleu. Nothing like I expected. I hope you see this and look up recipes for it. Although the chicken breast itself was tasty, the filling was not cordon bleu. I might add that all their beef is so delicious. We come often for their meat. It's a great butcher shop read more

Top tier quality meats of all kinds. If they don't have in house, they'll find it for you. My aunt has been a customer for over 30 years and if that's not the definition of consistency, I don't know what is. Do yourself a favor and experience this old fashioned traditional butcher shop. read more

sandwiches are unreal 10/10 we come here often there always nice and the customer service is great I did get meat here once it was good on the pricer side but would definitely get meat here for a party or a holiday read more

Four men behind the counter and not one would help me at the sandwich counter. They were too busy educating a pretentious family on cooking tri tip. read more

Stopped in to inquire if they carried Grass Fed Beef Liver. Butcher was very friendly and stated all their meats are Grass Fed and Grass Finished, and help with our purchase. However, no where in their outdoor signage, windows ads, in-store or their website is it stated, so now I'm skeptical. read more

Hands down the best meats here! Bought some steaks for a party and everyone complimented how delicious the steaks are. Service here is also great! The guy who helped me was so helpful and friendly. Would definitely come here again. read more

If you go here, make sure you can cook or you will not get the full fresh flavors that you always get here.

Stuffed pork chops were on special so we tried some. The moistest, most flavorful pork chops I have ever had. Hot dogs are delicious, too. Nice snap, good flavor. Will definitely be back. read more

Stopped for Veal Top Round. "We are out of it". This was my second time to try to buy veal.

Every time I walk in this place I don't get a hi or help until a person in the back comes out to help even though there are 3 people already at the front none of them take the time to turn around. Yet when a white lady comes in they are quick to help. Find that very rude!! read more

Gem Meats is the best butcher shop. Every cut of meat is great, but you can't beat their prime rib at the holidays. They will season it perfectly and replace the ribs if you ask. The service is quick and the butchers are knowledgeable. Our family has been coming here for years, and since the change in ownership they've even gotten better with the addition of grab and go sides! read more

Super nice and helpful people working there and lots of quality meats! Just stopped by and grabbed some sausages and brought in some pig feet i bought from another store which wouldn't cut them into smaller pieces... nice butcher at Gem cut them for me even though i didn't even buy them there... Def going back soon for the smoked pork chops and Italian sandwich i hear is awesome! read more

I've been coming to Gem's with my mom since I was a little girl. She recently told me about their yummy sandwiches so my husband and I decided to try them out for lunch today and we were SO impressed. I love Italian subs and he loves pastrami so naturally that's what we each ordered. The meat, cheese and veggies were all sliced to order so the sandwiches were extremely fresh! We can't wait to come back and try their other sandwiches! read more

Disclaimer: I've known the new owners for over 25 years before Gem and I'm in the pork industry myself. With that said, Gem has delivered every trip. Steaks are perfectly trimmed and the Spencer steaks have become my wife's fav! Sous vide to 130 and sear and they are life changing. And better priced then Costco. Picked up a 23# Turkey for thanksgiving that was one of the best I've ever had. Their deli meats and prepared meals are all spot on especially the twice baked potatoes...plus one can feed 2-3 ppl, they're HUGE! Today I picked up a duck breast and bone marrow bones, things that are hard to find these days. They will be adding an imported cheese section that I expect to be my new home away from home and the produce is ALWAYS fresh and top shelf. All this and the staff is always ready and willing to help, even when busy they at least knowledge you're there while helping others. If you haven't been for a while do yourself a favor and get back and see how an old school butcher should run! Thanks GEM! read more

good food, quick service and close by! great place to get your food that everyone will love!! pray for leftovers!

If you haven't been to Gem, you need to go. First, the meat loaf is worth the drive from anywhere in Southern California. Second, the steak, ribs, and other cuts will give any high-end butcher a.run for their money. I just did a 6 hour smoke with their beef back ribs. The ribs were ridiculously good and the seasoning (in house) that they recommended was icing on the cake. This place is a hidden GEM for the carnivore. Prices are beyond fair and the customer service is top notch! read more

The quality price and service is all top notch I usually buy meat to cook at home but I gotta come try one of those sandwiches

I picked up my "The bachelor" order, and each item was wrapped with a label and packaged into box... Ate the filet mignon that night and of course delicious. Great meat & fish, service and their package deals are well worth the price!!! See y'all next month read more

Nice little butcher shop. Plenty of options to choose from. I like how you can get your meat cut into chunks already prepped.
