Or could it just be that every 4/5 employees at this market place is really incompetent. I have been shopping at this place for years, but today was the last draw.. So what happened, well like every other time, I wait patiently to be serve at the counter, and like every other time when is my turn, I get ignored, they help the person after me. And when I speak up I get a dirty look like I'm the ass hole for speaking up for myself. But, there I remain waiting to get service. When they finally help me is with attitude. 2nd the cashier tonight had no customer service. This is a very very small store, there is no room in the cashier lane to leave your empty basket, so I hand it to the young girl. I guess she didn't like that because she also gave me attitude, so much so, she didn't bag my groceries, when I clearly saw her bag the previous customers groceries. But she didn't bag mine, she continued to serve the next person. Now, I'm in the way of that customer because I was still in the counter bagging my stuff. I can continue with numerous of bad experiences at this store, but I don't want to give this company anymore of my time. The only reason why I continue to go here turning the other cheek on the other bad experiences was due to convenience and wanting to support my local community and our businesses but they are not getting my hard-earned money from me anymore.I rather travel 8 miles more than to go here EVER again.. I RATHER STARVE.

Great spot for BBQ style meals. The staff could use some training to pay attention to the guests at…read morethe counter better, but overall, this is a good location. They don't have all of the sauces under the kinders name available, but they do have some of them, including the mild BBQ out on every table. They also carry the 'craft' stubborn soda brand fountains. I would recommend this place for a good, decently priced meal.

I came to visit this place after having lunch next door, and decided to buy a couple of bottles of…read morebarbecue spices and a half rack of ribs to go. One of the ladies at the counter was kind enough to explain subtle taste differences between the spice bottles, there are actual dry rub spices and there are bottles of barbecue sauce in different sublime flavors. There is a very long front counter at the meat/deli with different side dishes which traditionally accompany the barbecued meats, such as a counter with cooked meats to order to eat, a counter of deli meats and cheeses, plus a counter of raw meats to purchase to take meat home in order to do your own barbecuing or baking at home. Various shoppers were buying food to eat there, the place has several small tables along the interior walls to sit down and eat, other people bought meat to go, either the already barbecued meat, or raw meat or deli meat to go. I tried out the tequila lime half rack of ribs, which I brought home for dinner. It was tasty, nicely barbecued and seasoned, and does go perfectly with whatever sides you choose to buy. There are plenty of choices if you feel like buying barbecue or deli, especially when you don't feel like prepping the grill outside for your barbecued meals. This is also a place you can cater for a large party, there's a catering menu where you can pre-order your meats, whatever you'd want to serve when you're planning to entertain your guests or tail gate. I would come here again if I'm in the area, having barbecue without cooking is a very good choice, especially if you're too lazy to fire up the barbecue pit at home. There is plenty of parking at the lot available locate in the front of the store. Do try Kinder's if you're wanting to take a break from driving the long 680 freeway in the SF East Bay, it's a little off the beaten track for just a few miles, but if you live in the East Bay, it's a drive completely worth it in order to avoid cooking barbecue yourself!

We have tried a few items and love their pork chops. I don't know what makes them so good, tender and flavorful. Staff are friendly and efficient. We always get a few of their sausages, too. They're definitely worth the visit and we keep trying different things. During the holidays, they fill the store with panetones and various seasonings and cookies. It's lovely! The warm, nostalgic feeling of the classic butcher shop instantly feels magical.

Cute little place that is well organized and the meat selection looked really good. The beef sausage, lamb meat and scallops were so good that I had to go back the next day to buy more.

This review isn't based off of one interaction that I've had, but several in which I felt Star…read moreMeats customer service was non existent. Awhile back, I tried to bring as much business to Star Meat as I could because 1. it's a small business and 2. it's inside Star Grocery (which I LOVE, so it's convenient). When I would go there, there would often be 2 or 3 people behind the counter and oftentimes I would be the only customer. I felt like I had to stand there forever before anyone even acknowledged I existed. Each person would be busy doing something, but there was no "I'll be with you in 2 minutes." Finally, I went one day and there were 3 workers behind the counter chatting with each other. I was the only customer and was standing around 6 feet away from them, looking right at them. They went on with there conversation (not doing any other work) for a full 5 minutes. Finally I thought, "OK, they really don't seem to want my business, so I can go to any one of 4 other places and get what I want." That was a year or two ago. So, today I thought, why not give it another try, it's certainly convenient. Again, I'm the only customer at the counter. One guy is washing equipment and two guys are making sandwiches. I know that they know that I'm there, there are mirrors all along the back wall exactly for the purpose of seeing the customers. After around 4 minutes I think, who knows how long I'm going to be standing here. Maybe they have to make 20 sandwiches and I'll be here for a half hour. So, I left. I don't have anything like this experience at the 4 other meat counters I go to in the area. I'm totally fine waiting if I have some sense that I'm waiting for a purpose and that the worker will get to me as soon as they can. But at Star Meat, it feels like I'm more of an inconvenience than a customer. "Hi, I'll be with you as soon as I can," goes a long way.

You have to have the textures just right, other wise you have a mess of mush and now your baby food. The flavors were not bad!!
