    This is my sandwich.  I took the other half and put the meat on this half and threw the bread trash. Not enough meat for whole sandwich
    travis c.

    Ordered tritp sandwich. Very little meat and not a lot of flavors. The bread was delicious and I ask for regular mayo. It would be okay for 13 dollars. But it was small and flavorless

    5 stars all the way for The Meat Company in Los Alamitos! I recently picked up some ribeye steaks from here and they turned out to be some of the best ribeyes I've ever cooked. The quality of the meat was outstanding; perfectly marbled, incredibly tender, and packed with flavor. It's definitely not the cheapest place around, but you absolutely get what you pay for when it comes to quality. I've also tried their tri tip sandwich and highly recommend it. Super flavorful, and that purple slaw hits the spot! Definitely worth ordering if you stop by. Great products and a great overall experience every time I've been in.

    Pastrami Sandwich
    Cindy O.

    First time visit! Passed by many times and finally decided to stop and shop. I came to.pick up a few sandwiches and Carne Asada. First impressions, very organized with a nice selection of meats and some convenience type groceries. Definitely will be back for meats! I ordered two sandwiches. Hot Pastrami on marbled Rye and a Spicy Italian. The Pastrami was very lean amd had a nice kick to it. Definitely the best one I have locally. Generous portion of meat and easily shareable! Sandwiches are $15-17, average price, but portions and quality Definitely a great price! You can add a side for $2, and again, very generous and shareable portion. I added Chipolte Mac Salad. I took only a bite, it was very good, as the sandwich filled me to the brim! We will be BBQing the Asada (Flap) tomorrow for dinner. Excited to try it out! Their meats looked great quality along with their marinades. Service was very friendly and helpful. You order at the meat counter and lay up front at the check out. I was pleasantly surprised to see Foodolgie Cookies at check-out. They are a small local store in Belmont Shore, making amazing cookies and brownies!

    Walked in here on a Wednesday about 1:30. No lines, just a tritip sandwich ready to be eaten. I was greeted happily by their employees. He recommended the tri tip sandwich as their best seller. I'll be honest, 3/5 for it. Lacked a little bit of flavor and was just ok for me. Whopping price of $18 either way tax, I wouldn't order again. I would come back to try their different sandwiches. I like their concept. Meats look of high quality and the place is clean. Trying to support our small businesses so I'll be back for a second chance.

    Tri-tip Sandwich
    Jake D.

    Was my first time at this establishment, I try tri-tip sandwiches here in SoCal but none compare to the best in the state which is in Bakersfield at a place called the Firestone Grill. However, I have to say that the Meat Co version of the tri-tip sandwich here in my pics is among the best in the area. I was pleasantly surprised by the flavor and sauce added. Service was good, has a deli feel to the place. Please try this sandwich you can taste the quality meat in it, gonna say at least USDA choice beef was used. I will be back to try other items on the menu. Small seating area outside to enjoy, mostly a to go place.

    My review consists of only the tri tip sandwich. I haven't purchased their butcher shop meat. I ordered their tri tip sandwich, with a side of chipotle macaroni salad. The sandwich was on a brioche bun, however, it tasted more like a sourdough French roll. Regardless, it was excellent. It wasn't too chewy to the point where you're left with more bread than meat. The mayo and and red cabbage made the sandwich both flavorful and crunchy. The tri tip was cooked to a medium/medium well and seasoned very well. I really liked the sandwich. It would've been excellent with some pickles. Overall I really liked the sandwich. Some extra points: their rewards system is pretty cool. You get a free sandwich on your birthday with a few days to redeem it. You also got $25 off for ever 500 points. They sell a lot of ready to make items to go with your butcher cut meats like brussel sprouts, carrots, macaroni salad, and a lot more. They sell chips, water bottles, cans of soda to go with your sandwiches. Overall I really like this spot and I'm ready to try the rest of their sandwiches. :)

    PASTRAMI PERFECTION!
    Michael H.

    I've had Katz's, Ratners, Langers, etc. This was the best pastrami sandwich I've ever had. Others may match the quality of the meat (although I can't say even Katz's bests this), but none match the balance. Overall best pastrami sandwich of my life!

    Tomahawk steak, jalapeño cheddar sausages, and their housemade Chipotle macaroni salad
    Anabel G.

    Can't say enough great things about this place. Clean, organized, and John was hilarious and approachable. The steak and sausages were great quality at an affordable price. The Chipotle macaroni salad was mild and paired with the meats really well! I signed up for Rewards on my first visit because I know I'll definitely be coming back.

    Wagyu hot dog, short rib grilled cheese, choc chip cookies
    Heather T.

    Lunch time on a Wednesday around 11:30am ... wanted to try the Meat co. Called in an order for two sandwiches. The woman told me 20 mins. I arrived 30+ mins later and strolled in to a store empty of customers. The woman behind the back counter told me she was still working on my order. Another 10 mins goes by and finally my order is ready. While waiting I wandered the store. They have an impressive butcher counter filled with fresh cuts of meat. They also have lots of chips, flavored seeds, cheeses, beef jerky, frozen desserts (cakes and pies, ice cream). They also have packaged veggies ready to cook/grill. Service here in an empty store was surprisingly non-existent. There was no effort whatsoever to acknowledge me other than taking my name for my to go order and then checking out at the end. The guy behind the butcher counter didn't even acknowledge my presence. This is a very small store so everyone sees everyone. I enjoy browsing without interruption most places. But an empty store, quiet, I'm waiting a super long time for my order (over twice as long as promised), I felt like an unwanted trespasser - frankly it was odd. I don't need entertainment or a song and dance but the vibe was weird. My hubby who eats anything said the wagyu hot dog was not great - he said it definitely did not taste like premium Wagyu and definitely not worth the amount of money. The short rib grilled cheese was delicious. It was packed with good quality meat and very filling. Good sandwich to share. The chocolate chip cookies bought at the counter were really tasty. $4 each. Recommend calling in your order for sandwiches before coming. And assuming extra wait time than what is told. If you have a tight timeframe for lunch then skip this place.

    Highest quality products around. The beef ribs are the best. The meat is expensive, but you get what you pay for.
