So lucky to have this high quality meat shop in Folsom! We've gotten everything from steaks,…read morechicken, sausages, crab cakes, wings, bacon, etc. If you're a fan of proteins- they've got it here!

Planned on doing a prime rib for a special family occasion. This popped up on Yelp with solid…read morereviews and I can see why. I initially called if I needed to reserve for a prime rib. They said no need as they always have it. Upon entering, there is so much. You can select from what they have cut up, or choose from the refrigerated section. They had A5 Wagyu and even alligator. I didn't get to see what else, but there is tons to choose from here. I asked for a prime rib cut. They asked for how many people. They recommended 2 bones and me being me, I said let's do 3. They offered to cut the bones off and re-tie it all together. They showed me the cut before they wrapped it up, weighed and paid. The meat quality was amazing. I'll definitely come back here when we fire up the grill this summer or to get a standing rib roast for the holidays and special occasions. Clean spot and everyone is helpful and knowledgable to get what you need.

Tried the rest of the meat sticks:…read more Hot - spicy but not too spicy (for me), excellent flavor! Pepperoni - tastes like pepperoni... ok Garlic - THE BEST! Tasted like fresh garlic, I loved it I think I am missing one, but can't remember... they are all good except the pizza one yikes! Otherwise, I don't think you can go wrong.

No trip to Gold Country is complete without a stop at Swingle Meat!…read more As mentioned in my previous review, groceries, especially meat prices are super high in the Bay Area, so whenever I have a chance to get some good deals on meat, I'm going to make every trip here worth it. On this trip I picked up some frozen ribeyes, sirloins, burgers, breakfast sausage patties, cheddar jalapeno sausages, and some chile verde and ranch house chicken. The chicken items I got come vacuum sealed, which is perfect when I plan to sous vide them. The things I wish I got more of was their honey pepper beef sticks and hot teriyaki beef jerky. It's very affordable and perfect for snacks. Another low key thing that we like are their frozen chicken wellingtons. super easy to bake at home and it's a tasty meal. I arrived in the morning and luckily it wasn't super busy. Grabbed a basket and before I knew it I had enough meats and snacks to feed a large family when in reality, it's just for a couple of us. $153 well spent and meals for days. The prices for the tri-tips have more than doubled since 2020, but honestly, still a great deal considering the size. $35-40 for a good sized marinated tri-tip is still a steal of a price. The mother lode tri tip is a can't miss and a fan favorite at any of our family bbqs. Definitely plan to bring a cooler and some ice packs so you can keep your meats stored properly in route to back home.

I was expecting a butcher shop where I could select some fresh pork chops or rib eye steaks. But…read moremost of the meats were pre-packaged frozen meats. Absolutely nothing wrong with that... it just wasn't what I was looking for. We did buy some frozen steaks. I found the prices to be reasonable but not worth going out of the way for (it's about 40 miles away from where we live). Regarding the quality of the steaks, we didn't find them to be better than what we normally purchase.

While driving back down the mountain from Placerville yesterday, my husband and I decided to stop…read morein to Fork Lift to grab some groceries for the week. I remember visiting Fork Lift like 10 years ago and really liking it - it is a sister store of Nugget Market I believe. The inside was massive, clean and well organized. My husband and I wanted to buy one of everything! Their produce section had every fruit and vegetable imaginable - it was also very visually aesthetically pleasing! I loved seeing their bulk spices, nuts, teas and candy options! Their butcher shop and fish section looked very fresh and can we talk about their massive cheese selections!? I was very impressed and they even had my favorite coffee for sale which is hard to find - the Blue Bottle Nola milk cartons. Overall, this would be my grocer of choice if we lived in the area - check out staff was also very friendly! Check them out!

After my grueling 2 hour wait, I finally open the door to the sweet smell of meat and air conditioning. Atmosphere is busy, and there were 4 lovely ladies just moving along and getting people their orders. I had the GREAT pleasure of having Allie (hope I spelled her name right) serve me. She was extremely patient and giving me every opportunity to ask questions, describe products and give samples to give me the true taste of what she was describing. She was very chipper, never rushing and made me feel like I NEED to come back! Hoping the management reads my review, typically I only write if service was excellent or notably terrible. This visit, this customer service, will make it that much easier, even waiting for 2 hours. Thank you Allie!

Love this place!!…read more ALL of the sausages are amazing. We have usuals that we get: Chorizo and Hawaiian Luau Sausage (regular and spicy) and trying new ones: British Bangers, Portuguese Linguic, Polish Kielbasa THIS is what they usually serve at festivals: the most delicious Smoked Dakota Fresh Bratwurst - A MUST BUY!! This place gets busy so have patience and expect to wait in line (outside - so be prepared when it is HOT outside) , they only allow 6 people inside at a time. Also, review the menu before going and prepared to place your order. You can still peruse and add while they are preparing your order. Street parking only (or at least that was all I saw) - could be challenging to find a spot. Would I go back?? YES.... All the way from San Jose.

My husband had two chicken tacos and I had an al pastor and a carnitas taco. The steak was cut tiny and was so tender. Big hunks of flavorful carnitas. The chicken was cut tiny and flavorful. The tacos are very juicy and topped with a medium salsa that has the perfect amount of heat. The tortillas are very lightly fried with crispy edges. They were so yummy!We really enjoyed the tacos and were so happy. My husband loved that they had the small bottles of Mexican Coke, as well as large ones. The place is a little hard to find. Western Plaza is up a little hill off the main road on Winter Place. Winter Place looks like a driveway. You drive up this steep little hill to Santa Maria Taqueria. It's worth looking for!

All of the tacos came with delicious seasoned and grilled onions as well as a grilled shishito pepper that you will want to eat with or without the taco. The staff was so incredibly nice.
