This place is amazing! They have a GREAT meat counter, where you can buy individual cuts of meat or Butcher boxes. They also have a deli counter with fresh sandwiches and specialty sandwiches of the day. Customer service is excellent, store is kept clean. Stop by and try one for yourself. Highly recommended!

Came here on a Saturday morning just to grab a breakfast burrito, and this place did not disappoint! The people were friendly and quickly served me, and the place was just really chill. The burrito was a perfect balance between bacon, egg, and potato. They also served it with a side of fresh salsa. Honestly, this was just really great! I walked around the store a little bit while my burrito was being made and looked at some of the stuff that they had for sale. I ended up walking away with a pound of pastrami, because who can say no to fresh pastrami?! All in all, this is a totally awesome place, and I'd highly recommend it! read more

Came in yesterday for 2 sandwiches. The place was very clean and well kept and the staff was so nice. However, I got 2 sandwiches to share with family and I don't think they were worth $16 each. (Added onions). The meat was overcooked and was very salty. They also forgot to give me my bbq sauce and I had to drive back since I got it on the side. I do think for the price it should be better. read more

Can't wait to try more in the future. Downloaded the app even lol Didn't hang aroundinside long but they have some quality meat cuts for sale in there. read more

We occasionally order their special sandwich of the day. Always good, especially w the tallow fries. We often take advantage of their butcher shop. Good meat. However the best thing is the knowledgeable staff that provides useful advice. They make good recommendations on cut, price and even cooking methods. They can save u money and guide u to a good meal.

So yeah, this is worth the hype waaaay better than doghouse. Although doghouse has bigger size I guess and the fries at doghouse are better even tho- even tho I know for a fact that the fries at doghouse are frozen haha either way hella seasoning. We got the tri tip and the chicken bacon ranch. Tots and fries. Tri tip was really good, obviously not smoked like doghouse but the flavor and quality of meat is just better. You have to try it to believe it haha. But like I said, the size of it is smaller and it doesn't have the smoky flavor. So this is a loss if you MUST have that smoky flavor. Chicken bacon ranch was really good too. This one was filled with so much goodies it was spilling out of the Sammy. Tots and fries are good, but taste better at doghouse. I would say this is a winner over doghouse. But if you MUST have bigger portions, smoky meat, and better tasting fries, you should go to doghouse. read more

Decided to try the Meat Up when we made a visit to their neighbor, Ampersand. Right off the bat, it looked like they were super lively with plenty of outdoor seating! We got the pastrami sandwich which is a Friday special for $13 and large fries for $5. Very generous portions of fries and meat! The pastrami was flavorful and very juicy. The mustard offered a nice balance, the bread was soft, and the Swiss cheese are perfectly melted. The fries were also great- I really enjoyed their BBQ sauce. Great experience, would definitely come back. read more

Tried the daily special which was the cheeseburger and at first I was a little hesitant because it only came with cheddar cheese and dijonaise but let me tell you it was fantastic just like that! The tater tots were crispy and not overly seasoned and the macaroni salad was pretty yummy and had a little zest to it. I wasn't a fan of the potato salad it lacked salt. I'm am a ranch lover and it wasn't bad but definitely not one of my favorites. It had like a tang to it that I didn't care for. I heard great things about the tri tip sandwich and will definitely be going back to try it! read more

This place is so good! I LOVED their tri-tip and their tater tots. The tri-tip sandwich is stuffed with meat and it was so juicy. For the side, I got the tater tots fried in tallow and they were SOOOO crispy. 100% recommended! They also have fridges and freezers where you can purchase different cuts of meat with amazing marbling on them. The service was super friendly and they were always very attentive and ready to help. The store did get a bit crowded, as I did go around lunch. read more

Love The Meat Up! My favorite days are Tuesday for the beef dip, Wednesday for the perfect cheeseburger, and Friday is pastrami day. They slice the meat thin, more like shredded. Always perfect every time. The staff are always welcoming and really enjoy working there. I had purchased their beef chorizo and went back for more. I made empanadas and arepas using the chorizo and fried them in Brandt Beef Tallow that they sell. It truly adds flavor and makes the food extra crispy. I'm definitely a regular there! read more

So I finally tried this place after hearing about it for quite a while. I don't wanna take their streak off of having almost 5 stars, but I will give you my opinion. My husband and I ordered the tri-tip. We split it along with tater tots. The tri-tip is cut into very thick pieces my half of my tri-tip sandwich the meat had long strands of collagen that I had to pull out. I asked if they can cut my tri-tip slices thinner, but they said no that I would love it. Well, the tri-tip is good if you eat it alone without the bun, but eating it with a bun it becomes a little tough trying to bite it. The tater tots were delicious. I'll have to say that I do wanna give this place a second try I do wanna try the shredded beef sandwich next. I will have to mention also that my husband and I had to take our food into Starbucks because the flies were just unbearable. read more

This was my second time here and my second time inhaling the meat packed Tri-tip BBQ sandwich before I could take a photo! The staff are always so attentive and nice. I was close to buying some of the uncooked tri-tip or cooked deli meats that were displayed in the cases-- their refrigerated product displays are well stocked, full of tantalizing meats and even some side dishes! There are no chairs inside the store, but right outside are a couple large picnic tables if you want to immediately enjoy those hot tallow fries! read more

The Meat Up was def a choice pic dropped in to pick up dinner if was great to see such high-quality meats available. The selection was impressive and everything was sealed and ready to go. While the prices are a bit on the higher side, the premium grade of meat makes it worth it. They also have a deli counter with daily specials. One of their staples is the tri-tip sandwich which is served daily. You can choose between fries or tots as a side and tots win every time. They were perfectly cooked. The tri-tip itself came with sauce already on it. While it didn't have a smoky flavor, it was well-seasoned and tasted pretty good. The portion of meat wasn't overly generous though. I had more bread than meat but I'm sure you can pay for extra if you want a heartier sandwich. The Meat Up is located in a clean, well-trafficked area with a steady flow of customers. It serves the community well and is a great spot to stop in for lunch or pick up some quality meat for your next barbecue. read more

I was visiting Fresno and was surprised by all the food choices in and around the city. Out of all the things we ate, the Meat up was my families favorite. I honestly wasn't expecting much, but they had delicious burgers and tater tots. What really sets them apart, the service level was superb, they make you feel like family the moment you walk in. Their meat selection in the butcher section is also fabulous. Great job, wish I had one by my house. I would be here all the time. read more

If I could give more than five stars, I would. This place has become a regular part of my routine, and every visit is a reminder of why I keep coming back. The steaks? Absolutely divine--perfectly marbled, and consistently delicious. You can tell there's real passion behind the quality of the meat. But let me talk about the French fries--they are on another level. Crispy, golden, and seasoned just right. Every bite takes me straight back to childhood, when fries tasted like magic and nothing else mattered. They're nostalgic, comforting, and simply superior to anything else around. Did I mention they are cooked in beef tallow To top it all off, the staff is incredible!!!! Warm, attentive, and genuinely kind--always making you feel welcome and appreciated with a Hi Chef It's rare to find a place that nails the food and the experience, but they do it effortlessly here!! read more

The Meat Up - Pork chop sourced from the meatup (perfection) - Meat Shops Near Me - Fresno, California

We've gotten sandwiches over the years, and they're good, but this review is about the bratwursts in natural casing. They come four in a pack and they're rather big. Simmer in medium low sauce pan covered with about a 1/2 cup of water for 15 minutes. Turning occasionally. When most of the water is gone, add oil or butter, turn heat to medium and turn every couple minutes until you get the color you like. These sausages came out perfect. Very juicy and nailed the German seasoning. These were the best brats we've had in a long time. read more

Heard about this place from my friend. She said the tri tip sandwich's are really good and I was craving for one. I like how they have certain items for different days. Today was the chicken bacon ranch sandwich which my bf likes to order at other places. He said the one here was good. I like the tri tip, nice thick and juicy. I'm glad it wasn't dry. I got the small sandwich, didn't wanna eat too much. Also ordered the tri tip fries which is just fries, the tri tip and bbq sauce. The sauce is good. Sweet not too sweet. I wanted spicy version but they ran out. The service was straight. The man told me about the different wagyu they have. Looks so good!!! So damn expensive tho lol. But he told me if you're lookin for a wagyu taste but not the price, they have some that's cheaper and just as good. They also sell t shirts and a whole lot of other meats! read more

I kind of wanted to gatekeep here , and enjoy for myself. However, I am too excited and need to tell my Yelp family to come here and indulge. This spot blew my mind. They feature one sandwich a day, but offer the tri- tip sandwich every day . Wow , their tri- tip is tender , flavorful and piled high. I got the BBQ sauce on the side so that I can control the amount of sauce in every bite. I opted for crispy tater tots on the side because tots make everything better. My girlfriend opted for the roast beef deli sandwich and that was great too. Keep in mind , there is no produce to be had here. You get a meat sandwich with your choice of cheese , but don't expect any lettuce or tomatoes in the building . However , you can opt for pickles on your sandwich if you prefer. I was able to sneak a bite of my girlfriend's potato salad and it was perfect with bacon throughout. I can't get enough of this place. As a carnivore and potato eater, this place hits every mark. Let's all meet up at the meat -up and enjoy the best sandwich of our lives. See you there! read more

I'm not as big a fan of the cooked food as I am the meat department. I make a trip once a week to the shop because the meat actually tastes as it is supposed to. My one complaint is the use by date on the packages. They give you 7 days when fresh, vacuum sealed meat should last way longer when fresh. So just take that into consideration. Try the Wagyu ground beef for burgers and meat loaf. Makes all the difference! read more

Best Tri tip sandwich, HANDS DOWN. Fries are on point. Soooo yum. Will be back for sure.

The takeout food is sooo good! I feel like I can taste the quality of their ingredients and recipes. I particularly enjoy the chorizo burrito, French dip, and potato salad which all highlight the uniqueness of their food. Crazy since this place is a meat market first and foremost! They are also super friendly, build relationships with their customers, and generally just give off great vibes. Now I'm disappointed I didn't try this place sooner! read more

Needed a delicious hearty on the go sandwich so we could explore Sequoia and Kings Canyon so I found this place and the service was fast, menu was concise. We ordered relatively early when there was no lines, so in and our within 5 min of deciding. I think I got the brisket sandwich and boy was it filling! The brisket was flavorful and nicely chopped up so I didn't have to pull it apart while eating it. The thinly sliced pickle added great vinegar tang to balance out the sandwich! Would definitely recommend! Very casual place with little sitting inside but a few more tables outside so a quick way to grab a bit for work or wherever you're headed! read more

Best place in town to get meat. High quality, excellent products! Personally I get 24 fillets, 24 top sirloins, 24 ribeyes, and 8 tri tip a few times a year. Thing with meat that most people don't realize is that good quality meat is near impossible to screw up and tastes amazing no matter what you do. Trust me. Pick up some meat and try it at home. You will be hooked read more

My favorite tots ever. They are cooked in tallow, so they are the healthiest in town! I order them extra crispy and they are a craving! Today we ordered the special, a cheeseburger. It was also delicious. The service is always friendly and quick. The place does not have indoor seating, but there are a couple of tables outside. I've been multiple times and rotate the meal choice,but ALWAYS GET THE TOTS! Yum. read more

First time here! Upon our arrival we were greeted and helped. The place looks super clean and neat. The displays of their meats look great and the product itself does too. They have a breakfast and lunch menu (certain meals on certain days), as well as their daily sandwiches. There's some seating outside to enjoy your breakfast or lunch! I didn't go for the meat, but for the breakfast burritos. Thankfully they still had a sausage and bacon one. The burrito was good, tasted fresh perfect. The only thing I could say was missing was a spicy salsa. Although it does come with a salsa, it reminds me more of chip salsa. The price of the burrito is a little high for the size, but it definitely hit the spot after our 3 mile run that day. I want to come back to buy some meat and try their breakfast bowl! read more

This is my son's new favorite place to eat. Hearing the fries were the best in town, I had to check it out. I ordered the two pounds of tri tip and basket of fries, and he was right!! No fat on the meat, just pure deliciousness!!! And the fries....best in town. The chicken salad sandwich is also a favorite of mine.
