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.

High quality meat that is worth the price. Also their sausages and bratwursts are FANTASTIC. Never…read morebuying Johnsonville bratwursts again.

Other than its sister store, Iowa Meat Farms, Tip Top Meats in Carlsbad (yes, they have returned), and the Wise Ox, also in Carlsbad, there are hardly any real butcher shops around. But these guys know what they are doing. Try their burgers and meatloaf. They are easy to cook at home. Try their steaks. You can get a legitimately excellent steak here for a fraction of what you would pay at a steakhouse and it will be BETTER than the steakhouse version. Make sure you ask the counter guys to season it for you before they wrap it up. Try their freshly-made sandwiches. Make sure you try their beans behind the deli counter. Their pimento dip in the refrigerated area is legendary and more addictive than crack (or so I have read). They have interesting sodas, craft beers, different mustards, El Indio chips, fresh breads, and a small but very well-curated wine selection. Is there anything they do not do well here? "No," is the answer to that question. They do everything well here. They have their own parking lot but it fills up quickly. There is not much other parking in the area. In the past, I have walked several blocks away in the residential neighborhood to get to the store when there is no parking available. And it was worth it.

This is a long time coming but I have to say my piece. Several years ago I went to Siesel's, a long…read moredrive from Encinitas, and spent my usual $300-$400 on meats. I could put up with the snooty butchers, and the high prices, but when I asked to use the bathroom I was informed I could not because someone had "trashed it last week". I told the "manager" I'd spent a lot of money and she still said no. Plus, she was brusque and rude. Did I look like some low life that would do that? I was deeply offended. I got in my car and decided to not take "no" for an answer and went back in. Finally someone led me to an outside bathroom. Well, that did it for me. I get my meat online now, and it's better quality, waaaaay better. And their deli? Subway sandwiches are better, and that's not saying much. Well, I wish them luck, They're gonna need it.

This is one unique spot and absolutely worth visiting. Came here with a group (which I'd recommend…read moreto try more things) but heads up that there aren't large tables so you'll need to move things around if you're more than 3-4 people. The vibe is wild there- from creepy McDonalds figures to a diner-like bar and decor, it'll feel like no other restaurant or bar you've been to. I had enough sodium for the rest of my week, but man was everything tasty. The Prosciutto Sandwich was so tasty and loaded up with prosciutto. The meatballs were flavorful (and the sauce was great for dipping my sandwich!). The drinks were super cool. I got the freak nasty and it might've been one of the best drinks I've had in a while. Think a cross between a Gin & Tonic and an Italian sandwich. And the pickle beer was very pickle forward! The waitress was very friendly and was able to speak to all the drinks. I'd definitely come here again... just maybe not too frequently given the high sodium levels haha.

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.

We were traveling and being impressed by reviews, we secured a RESERVATION days prior to our arrival!!! You'd think someone in the building would've been expecting us! No excuse for not being greeted, and not even getting the bare minimum treatment expected from any random 24/7 diner, let alone a premium steakhouse. Dining experience was disappointing (or nonexistent), and the private Yelp messages from the owner were extremely telling. Can't improve if you don't take care to acknowledge and address areas for opportunity. Customer service is a glaring one. Pro: Convenient parking. Spacious booths Wish we could give an opinion of the food, but we left.

We ordered the ribeye and my boys ordered the cowboy ribeye. This time we took our 2mo old and the lady was accommodating to our needs. The plus for us too is that it comes with a cake dessert.
