    Cool store. First time shopping here. I am definitely very surprised. Very clean location, very helpful, welcoming, and knowledgeable staff. There are tons to products here!: All kinds of meat, seafood, some pastas, desserts, pizzas, condiments, etc. Pork, beef, NY stake, prime rib, lamb, veal, bison, elk, Berkshire pork, macaroons, crepes, pies, etc. The prices were about the same as Trader Joe's and sprouts. Definitely coming back here.

    LOVE Wild Fork !! There are so many options and the prices are fantastic! It's been my go to place for primarily my meat / seafood related grocery shopping (for last 1.5 years) and i love going in and each time finding something new to try as well (which is so fun for a foodie like me)! I Especially love the seafood options - shrimp, salmon, mussels as well as grabbing staples like chicken and steak! I have also enjoyed the ahi tuna blocks, duck breast, catfish and that you can get frozen sides for ease and convenience like gnocchi, raviolo, veggies, etc! The employees are always super kind and helpful with any questions and the cleanliness of the store is immaculate! I recommend wild fork to everyone i know and meet!

    Wild Fork and Yelp! A perfect combo!

    Really great prices for the grass-fed organic beef we like to use in our home meals! Staff is knowledgeable and always willing to help and answer and questions from thawing times to preparations! Incredibly clean inside! Don't buy a freezer for your garage... let Wild Fork be the freezer for you!

    I've been a customer at Wild Fork for about 8 months now, going in to buy meat once a month. Their meats (primarily beef, pork, chicken, and seafood) are frozen by flash freezing and vacuum packing. They store itself is very organized and the various freezers are well labeled, making it easy to find things you're looking for or making them easily identifiable if you're just browsing. You'll find many unusual cuts of beef that you won't find at other stores as well as unusual types of meat and game (ie - alligator and elk). The staff here are extremely helpful in making recommendations and giving pointers on how best to prepare specific cuts or types of meat. Each month I've been getting the same things: picanha and Italian sausage. I love picanha, a cut of beef I'd first enjoyed in Peru. You see it sometimes in restaurants but I'd never seen it sold in a grocery until coming to Wild Fork. The picanha and sausage are consistently scrumptious. I guess since I've liked these two items so much I've not veered out of my lane and keep buying the same thing. Today, as I was getting my usual order, another customer and then a store employee recommended their hanger steak so maybe I'll have to grab that next time and give it a try. If you are a carnivore and live in the vicinity, you definitely need to check out Wild Fork.

    This is the COOLEST discovery of 2022, so far!! Wild Fork Foods is in an unassuming strip mall in Mission Viejo that I would never have known about. I saw a bumper sticker on a car at the Ladera Ranch farmers market and looked it up and here we are! It's gorgeous inside!! They have only been open for 4 months. Jake helped us and he's awesome. We bought Florida pink shrimp, colossal Stone Crab claws, wild caught Chilean sea bass, smoked salmon, sautéed veggies, also flash frozen and a bottle of lavender rosemary salt. This place is unique and will hopefully be here for a long time. We were told that they're opening a location in Thousand Oaks soon! You should definitely check it out!

    This has became my favorite place to purchase meet! The staff are extremely knowledgeable and helpful, they help you with recipes, the quality of the meat is amazing, and they have unique meats that I haven't seen elsewhere. I made skirt steak for my family and they absolutely loved it. Amazing quality and price point that meets every families budget !!!!

    Ground yak - $17 or $18/lb

    One really cool thing about this store is that everyone working at the cash register is either someone who's gone to culinary school or is a butcher, so feel free to ask them for info, advice and tips on the meats they carry. I got some really good ideas on how to cook the truffle brats so I could be the fancy bish I always wanted to be. Also, if you're looking for exotic ground meats, they have them - ostrich, yak, elk (farmed) ... Some good prices on some - like the chicken quarters for $0.98/lb. But the frozen prepared food was on the pricier side. Store worker told me to try the Mac and cheese - wild fork cooks the Mac and cheese to be al dente so when you microwave it, it doesn't get mushy.

    My pre-made dinner it was delicious and the chicken was excellent dinner for one  &  fair priced

    I finally checked out this wonderful meat market that has just about every kind of protein you could want . They even have small whole baby pigs frozen for BBQ's or to be smoked ( I didn't need to see them ) but I know they would taste great . The store has alligator meat , Boar, just about every kind of fish you would want to cook up and shell fish as well as prepared meals for under $8.00 I bought one it was delicious. The fettuccine Alfredo with lots of delicious sliced chicken it was way better then anything you could buy at the market or at the other store . I bought a small whole chicken and chicken hearts to cook up for my Sadie my 14 year old dog , this chicken was The BEST !! It was tender and delicious. I really wanted to eat it myself but I wanted to find a better whole chicken for Sadie and I did . Won't be buying grocery store chickens anymore for her . The guy that works there was very helpful as well . Prices are more then average store prices but you are getting quality meats and you can taste the difference. If you are looking for quality meats or premade dinners for a decent price that have lots of food in them that won't disappoint- try Wild Fork !

    I last purchased ground elk here, and made a delicious Cincinnati Chili with it, adding the complexity of the elk taste to the already unique taste of Ohio.

    I sponsored/purchased a pig from our school ag program who highly recommended HFM even though it's…read moretwo hours away. I had a wonderful phone conversation with the owner Ben who personally took my order. We agreed upon a date and time two weeks out since I was going to be out of town for the 4th of July week. They called while I was out of town to confirm the date and time (between 10-11 am) which was great! When I arrived to the store with my son around 11:15 because of the heavy traffic on 91W I went to the counter and was told by a young female that I needed to go to the pay counter. She was curt and not helpful. There was only three people ahead of me so no problem. But the elder gentleman in front of me, who was being helped by the young man who would eventually help me, took an exceptionally long time with his order. I'm just here to pay and pick up. No problem, I'll be patient and keep waiting. Two other costumers are helped by the female counter person and finally the elder customer leaves with his order and I'm next. The young male counter person then waits for me to initiate the conversation and doesn't greet me with a smile or hello or how can I help. I brush it off. I tell him I'm here to pick up my order, a whole pig and give him my last name. He fumbles around a few seconds and then asks how to spell my name and eventually finds my ticket order and asks what time. The time is written at the top of the ticket he failed to notice. I pay for the order. He mutters someone will be out with my order and disappears. No thank you, no attentiveness like he gave the older gentleman in front of me. Again, I've been in my car with my son for over two hours from San Diego in traffic and this fella couldn't give me five minutes of courtesy. I'm waiting, and waiting and waiting while others eventually come into the store and are being helped and leaving. The older female worker at the pay counter is still there helping customers while the younger female at the deli counter is now apparently on a break and making herself lunch. She stops momentarily when a customer comes in for deli service. I'm still waiting by the counter to make sure I'm at least acknowledged but I don't see the young male counter worker who apparently left for lunch since it's now noon. The older female worker can probably see on my face that I'm not happy and says to me he's working on my order. He? Who's he? I am just here to pay and pick order between 10-11. How much time and trouble could it be to put this order together which was made two weeks prior? A different gentlemen finally arrives with three boxes and two large paper bags that comprise my order. On the way out the older female worker says goodbye and was very courteous. At this point I'm pretty upset because this is not a large haul and this order could've easily been second and not 45 minutes! I arrive home after the two hour drive back home to SD and looking forward to the meat, especially the sausages and putting it into the freezer which I cleared out in preparation for the meat. My older son is home to help. As we are sorting and placing the meat I notice that there are no sausages. It's just sausage meat but no links. I guess it's my fault for assuming and not specifying sausage links on at peat some of the order. It was a huge letdown. I had array went out to purchase rolls and buns for a bbq this weekend and to have friends and family over. Oh well. You live and you learn. At least the bacon was great.
