I finally had the chance to give this business a try and I'm glad I did. The store was nice and clean and I was greeted by Alena who helped me with my shopping needs and was very helpful. Picked the prime filet mignon since I wanted something more lean and she gave me the perfect cut. I also picked some lemon peppercorn butter to top my steak with. They also have a sandwich station which I will give a try at another time. I'II be back! read more

Clean & bright. Full of specialty items like Asian hot sauces, bbq dry rubs, kettle chips from NY, truffle butter spreads, jars of wagyu & duck fat, but their primary reason for existence is their high quality meats. Displayed in a shiny cold case that is expertly manned by a friendly, informative staff, there is every cut of meat...they even have quail if you ask! They also have a deli where you can order huge, hearty, delicious sandwiches (you always want it on ciabatta since white & wheat bread won't be able to handle all the oil & vinegar, pesto, mustard) to go! These are $14 sandwiches but worth it! Our sequence of events: We ordered #4 and #6 Shopped for dinner (ribeyes, filets, asparagus, red bliss potatoes, garlic bread) Picked up our takeout sandwiches Impulsively picked up 2 bags of chips that were near the front Paid for everything at the register Finally got home to enjoy all the delicious foods we got from the Butchery! read more

My husband and I recently celebrated our wedding anniversary and decided to cook at home this time. We got their ribeye and the meat is fresh and definitely high quality. When we cooked it at home, the steak was melt in your mouth delicious! I highly recommend checking out their sides - I liked the macaroni salad. I would definitely come here again and check out their other meat selections Prices are decent, credit cards are accepted, and there's plenty of parking read more

Alsways love looking at the meat display. Such great cuts This is a go to place for quality meats in Orange County. Typically if I've got any big event coming up and I need to do some cooking and white quality cuts of meat, this is my stop hands-down. Stop by today to grab some barbecue essentials for the Fourth of July. The place was humming. I always appreciate the staff on the counter, they are very open for questions and explain the different qualities and cuts of meats. They were well-stocked for the holiday, with a great variety of choice. Their city hot dogs are some of my favorites to snag. Awesome selection of Brotz and different hamburgers made ready to go for you. You can also find yourself snagging a sandwich there from their deli counter. In addition to all the quality meats everything you need to go with it including your cookware and spices can be found. Today I just happen to need some new seasoning spray for my cast-iron skillet, they had it in stock ready to go. Only time I've ever been sad is when I came here and they were close for a remodel. There were a lot of gentlemen like myself that were disappointed to find that this was closed for a brief moment. That was a few years ago so no worries and I'm telling you you can't go wrong here. read more

The Butchery Quality Meats - Alsways love looking at the meat display. Such great cuts - Butcher Near Me - Brea, California

Was looking for steaks to grill and this place definitely came through What I ate: - Classic Italian on ciabatta: As the daughter of a previous deli owner, I had to try, and this hit on my nostalgia big time. Packed FULL of deli meat, crispy shredded iceberg lettuce, full of flavor. This thing is HUGE, plenty to share. What I bought and grilled at home: - Meyer beef prime boneless ribeye: This ribeye was so flavorful and fatty. Between the top sirloin and this, I preferred the ribeye. But ribeye is my favorite cut of steak - Meyer beef prime top sirloin: Super flavorful and surprisingly tender considering it was much leaner than the ribeye Pros: - This little shop is outstanding! It had everything you needed for an amazing cheese/charcuterie board. While meat selection was great, there were so many deli treasures of peruse - Meat was sooooooo goooooood! The choices were outstanding - Shop for an amazing dinner and get yourself a sandwich for lunch - Staff were all very friendly and helpful - I came on a busy day - Easter sunday, but staff was great at helping people out - Plenty of parking Cons: - Good meat is not cheap. I spent way more than I wanted, but it was totally worth it Would I come again? yes read more

Hands down one of the best sandwiches I've had in a long time! I've saved this place for a while but finally had the opportunity to stop by. It's not only a butchery, but also a shop with high quality sauce, spice and everything nice. I placed an order for two sandwiches- the smoked brisket (hot on wheat- 10/10) and the turkey bacon lettuce guac sandwich (hot on ciabatta- 10/10). The brisket (as expected) was heavier than the turkey, but still amazing with the melted smoked gouda. I loved that the brisket was not too salty. While I am not usually a turkey fan, the gentleman suggested that it was one of his favorite as a lighter option. To both my husband's and my surprise- we really enjoyed it! The sandwiches are pricier than other places, but boy, did they taste delicious! Since everything is made fresh to order, we walked around the store and found some other cool things to buy- a rich ramen broth from Japan, sardines from Spain, and white shoyu sauce from Japan. If you're looking for some unique gifts for a foodie friend- this is your place! They, of course, also sell fish/meat/sausages- but we didn't have that in mind this time. For our next visit, we might grab something fresh from them! Easy parking, come by and check it out! read more

I came in today just to check out their cheese selection because they have a great variety of meats, cheese, & any cooking needs. Jason helped me out and he was super knowledgable on everything and extremely helpful. He deserves extra recognition as well as the rest of the staff as they were so nice & welcoming! I'm definitely becoming a regular here just based on service. (The quality of everything is a plus as well, but especially because of Jason!) :) read more

Butcher was pleasant and very helpful. The store is very clean and has everything you need for grilling. The meat is quality meat. read more

My friend went here, and was asking questions, the person that was helping her out was amazing, was answering all her questions, but there was another employee that was there making remarks and being fully disrespectful to her. She had an overall great experience due to the employee that was being super respectful but that other guy that was there was super disrespectful. read more

The Butchery is a must-stop destination if you're looking for great quality meats and more. After passing by The Butchery multiple times while in the area, my husband and I finally made it a point to stop in. The space is impressive offering a nice selection of meats and cheeses, as well as unique spices, sauces, condiments, and cooking tools to complement one's meat preparation. Although functioning as a butchery, customers can also do some light shopping of the items I just noted, as well as order some sandwiches to go. We ended up placing an order for two sandwiches, and we were pleased with satisfied tummies after devouring them. The Butchery is located in a large shopping center with several other eateries. It's appropriately located adjacent to a grocery store so one could hop over to them to pick up some good quality meat after shopping. As mentioned, my husband and I stopped in to take a look around and ended up ordering two sandwiches for lunch to go. They have several delicious speciality sandwiches you can choose from in the back left side of the store. Details of each sandwich can be found hanging on a neatly, handwritten sign right above the area you place your sandwich orders. At the time we came in, they were super busy, but we were promptly greeted to place our order. It did take a little while to get our sandwiches, but it was no problem since it gave us time to explore the shop in more detail. We ended up finding some pretty unique seasonings and sauces to purchase and try out at home. When we finally unwrapped our sandwiches, they were perfect. We ordered a Classic Italian Sandwich and a Pastrami Sandwich (and swapped halves). Both were obviously made with care (no sloppy assembly), had the perfect amount of filling, and were served nice and warm at the perfect temperature. The Italian had a great selection of Italian meats that complemented each other well and the Pastrami (my favorite out of the two) was like heaven. The grilled onions on the Pastrami Sandwich were like heaven. I would highly recommend. Both sandwiches were soft, in a good way, not dry, and very easy to eat/chew through. We are new fans to The Butchery. We will definitely return to try out a few more sandwiches and do our future meat shopping when in the area. read more

Powerful little shop. Everything here is first class. From the service to the sandwiches and cheeses to the dry aged beef. Just wow. My work brings me to Brea more often now, and I had Butchery's brisket sandwich on ciabatta. So good and quite large. Not cheap at $14 but you pay for quality and GET quality. What more can you ask for? But the feature presentation is their meats. When I want the best for a special occasion, I come here first. read more

Love all the various varieties of specialty foods The Butchery carries. They have McConnell's ice cream, these amazing yellow lemon Italian cookies, novelty root beer and an array of meats and cheeses. This is definitely a great spot for a great sandwich or if you're looking to make a charcuterie board. read more

I ordered their charcuterie plate meant to serve a party of 30 and it was more than enough at $120! Next time I'll provide my own board but their covered tray was very convenient when picking up. Love that their staff is patient and has you sample their variety of meats and cheeses. I recommend adding the truffle salt marcona almonds. Plenty of parking in the plaza and is conveniently next to Mother's Market. There's a variety of items on display to purchase with more rows to be installed to feel more like a specialty shop including my husband's favorite garlic pepper hot sauce. Although there's no inside seating, I appreciate the large windows of natural light that set off an inviting vibe when you come in to look. read more

My cousin, her husband, and I really wanted sandwiches for lunch and they mentioned this place since they always pass by it when they're in this plaza. Parking was easy since it's part of a huge and very nice plaza. We went in and I wouldn't say it was packed, but there were a good 5-6 people in front of us so it took about 15 minutes for us to place our order, which was fine because we got to roam around their little store and saw so many great things and sauces that we definitely have to go back and try! We ordered the classic italian and the house, add grilled onion, mayo and mustard on the side - both on ciabatta but I would recommend getting it on a white roll. We all shared those 2 sandwiches and they were done about 10 minutes later. Ciabatta was a little too tough for us, but the sandwiches itself were soo good. I was a fan of the italian which I was pretty surprised about, but the pesto and all the deli meats included really took it over the top. Roast beef on the house was good but I didn't love - I definitely had to put the mustard on it which made it more enjoyable. Anyways, workers were nice and would love to return to try their other sandwiches! read more

Great selection of meat and cheeses! Worth the price. Staff is friendly and helpful and will answer questions you may have. My hubby and I have bought from here a handful of times and were never disappointed. Located in a busy shopping center closest to Mothers Market. Parking may get tricky so find a far spot to avoid the hectic lot. read more

Finally went inside and was super surprised! It was so cute and organized inside and it smelled amazing. Right when I walked in I was greeted and taken care of. I ordered an Italian sandwich and it was so delicious and very filling. 10/10 recommend this place and I'll be back to try more of their sandwiches! read more

Found this little gem after years of living in OC was tired of the Mastros nights out and wanted to surprise my wife with a home cooked steak. They have everything you can think of from the meat to all the sides and even different seasonings. 10/10 recommend if you are looking for quality! read more

This place is the HEST. We've ordered whole briskets for smoking and it was some of the best I've had. At Thanksgiving time we pre-order our turkey through them and it's such high quality meat. I love their goats milk (or cheese) sausage (trust me get it and thank me later). Their cheese and charcuterie selection is divine and their sandwiches are what dreams are made of (brisket (warm) and Italian (cold) are my favs). The market area is filled with wonderful treasures. I have never made a purchase here that wasn't worth it. For the price you get amazing quality and the sandwiches are humongous. read more

We've been to this location at least a dozen times in the 3 years we've lived in the area. The food is always high quality. BUT, as others mentioned, the staff is questionable. It's strange that the other 2 Butchery locations don't have the same issues. We're often treated as though we're bothering the staff. Usually no acknowledgement of our presence when there is a line. It's so tough....do we put up with the attitude for the high quality meat? We have definitely gone less often this year. I will say that we went today and a lady helped us and was very helpful. Maybe that was because there was only 1 other customer in the store?? read more

Top notch meats, cheeses and everything in between. Lots of sauces, rubs and more. The staff are always friendly, knowledgeable, and they genuinely look like they love their jobs. The store is always clean. read more

I meant to stop by and buy a flat iron steak but I remembered I needed to use up a variety of tortillas so I decided to try their carne asada. It's the best I've ever had. Out of the 12-16oz package I made 5 breakfast burritos, 8 tacos, and 2 crazy amazing tortas. No seasoning necessary. Everyone loved every bite! read more

I go here at least once a week for lunch and the food and service is great. Try the Brisket sandwich, it is my favorite.

Great service. Top quality meats, cheeses and in store products. Products that will complement any charcuterie board. The sandwiches are really good. My favorite is the Classic Italian. Lately, something is off with the classic Italian sandwich tho, so beware. I don't know exactly what it is but I thought I was eating a Jersey Mikes Original prepared Mike's way Don't get me wrong, I like Jersey Mikes but when I go to the Butchery I'm expecting a better quality sandwich/ingredients and the last few times I've ordered this sandwich, my tastebuds and wallet have been devastated to the point where I'm just not going to return until this sandwich is back to its original form and taste. read more

Stopped in for some meat and happened to pick up a sandwich. The Turkey#1 was literally the best sandwich I have ever had. Goat cheese and the jelly mesh so well it's like a good orgasm in your mouth. Get it heated up for even better taste. White bread was soft on the inside crunchy on outside. Don't forget to get the Maple Bourbon Steak Tips. Also purchased the Seasoned Asparagus that's shrink wrapped. read more

I'm consistently dissatisfied with the lack of service in this location. No one says hello, asks if you need help.. nothing. You could be standing right next to a store associate and they won't say a word to you. I was waiting at a register with my basket on the counter with no other customers in the store for at least 5 minutes when someone finally asked "are you ready?" Why else would I be standing here? Please be better so I can keep shopping here. This is a specialty market with premium prices. Some people might welcome a little help and expert opinions. read more

Don't order ahead for pickup if you're on a time crunch. Ordered 2 sandwiches at 4:45pm, asked for them to be done for a 6pm pickup. Arrived at 6pm, 5 people working, 2 customers at the counter with one person helping them, everyone else cleaning up. I asked for my order. They claimed they were swamped and didn't make it yet. But they also didn't have my order written down anywhere...had to re-tell them what I wanted. I was annoyed/hangry. Had to eat the sandwich in a rush and was late to where I was going. My sandwich was pretty good though so I'm not gonna knock it too hard. read more

The bbq chicken sandwich should come with a disclaimer of presentation... WARNING: SLICED DELI MEAT. Quite misleading on the menu and very underwhelming. There's no way I'd pay $14 again for that again. The brisket sandwich has fallen way off... sloppily assembled and skimped on the meat portion... much unlike it was months ago(hopefully it was just the server & not new policy). Overall: *BBQ Chicken = 4/10 & was terrible heated up, being deli meat. *true value = $6; not $14 *Brisket = 5/10 falling way off from other times I've tried it. *true value = $8; not $15 read more

Still open during these crazy times! We've been visiting The Butchery since pre-COVID. Fresh meats, I normally come here to spoil someone in my family (it's either the hubby or the pup). Favorites are the pork chops, any of the steak cuts, and any of the burger patties. They also have cheeses and deli meats from Boar's Head to smaller producers, like Cowgirl Creamery. You can ask them for their opinions, as they know how to pair with a good wine or dinners! Other than the fresh meats and cheeses, you have to pass the aisles of goods to get to the cashier area. This includes pickles, honey, pastas, pasta sauce, small appetizers (e.g., seasoned mushrooms, brussel sprouts, pates), wines, olive oils, crackers, chocolate, chips... basically, you can get a really, really, really good and happy meal by just shopping at The Butchery. It might be a bit hefty of a price in the end, but it's nice to splurge from time to time. Service has been good. I know butchering takes some skill and patience, and I always appreciate the folks behind the counter helping me out. They might be able to do custom cuts if you ask ahead of time. You can also put in future orders for pickup! read more

A regular stop for me on my way from work. The meat selection and quality is second to none. I do not go to grocery stores anymore and Costco only sells in bulk. I don't need that much meat unless I'm entertaining at home. They're marinaded meats are my favorite. Excellent flavor. The cheese selection is great as well. They have this blue cheese from Oregon that rivals anything I've had from France. Lastly, the service is great. Everyone is attentive and helpful. Real butchers who know their products! read more

Nice store. Easier to get to and park than the one in Costa Mesa Pretty high quality offerings. Cheese selections good. We don't normally find comte in any amount in supermarkets around here. They have it! And did I see raclette back there? People were crowding the glass so I wasn't sure. We most recently visited for andouille and Italian sausage. It's hard to find these items especially andouille in Southern California. We were very happy with both and we will return as income permits. read more

Much like the butchery in Costa Mesa, the butchery in Brea is no different. They have friendly and helpful staff, great selection of meats, cheeses, etc...and the ability to order custom food. Kinda like having an old school local butcher. I know they're a chain, but they do things the right way. Only place I know around SoCal where u can order Iberico pork tenderloin, and if u haven't had it, save up for a while, and get it!! It is worth 100 a lb. This is just a good company, I've done a lot of business with and never had a problem. Check em out read more
