2077 23rd St, San Pablo“They have so many different types of meats from so many types of animals. It's pretty incredible. From baby octopus to squab, to quail, venison, Bison, chicken, Shrimp, lamb, goat, lobster tail, ox tail and many types of poultry that I've never heard of. Really nicely dressed in butcher's white coat, and I didn't feel rushed. They take courteous time to make sure they've helped you to your satisfaction. I know where to go to get great service and to find unique pieces of meats.”
“This store is truly a neighborhood gem, and I truly underestimated it's broad selections . From the door entrance I was greeted, and offered a bag for persimmons. I purchased fresh persimmons & walnuts today. Then as I perused the store came up on a lovely well stocked meat counter. I purchased a nice thick chuck roast...cut to my desire. Perfect 1:1 assistance by the butcher. Thank you employees . Your services to me as a customer was a GCS10GOOD CUSTOMER SERVICE 10/10.By the way...I sliced a few pieces off that chuck roast and pulled out the black frying pan...salt and peppered little olive oil( since there's no crisco) and sizzled it quickly...rare...omg that meat had the best flavor out of any meats I've purchased in the bay area!!! 10MG mmmmmmmmmmgood”

“Great people great food, some of the men can be a lil rude but it's not personal. I have come here since I was a child. Big inventory. Ask for something if they don't have it”

1576 Hopkins St, Berkeley“Great local butcher with fair prices and good quality chicken and beef. They can cut or order to any specifications you have, and you can pickup the next day, or order ahead of time. They also carry the awesome Fra'mani line of sausage and charcuterie”
“Awesome place. And to all the whiny bitches complaining about no masks. Go live under a f****** overpass. Masks don't do anything except support target and costco.”
“Cute grocery section with a decent number of uncommon items. It seemed strange to me that the meat section was so sparse. Service was quick but not terribly friendly - they hung up on me after answering my very brief question without so much as a bye, meat counter service was a bit awkward, check out was clearly not having a great day. And that was just this one visit. Sandwiches are now $18 a piece. Still delicious but still premade so the tomatoes were going a bit soggy, and only three available a day from 11-3. No Soprano on the week's menu... in fact almost the same three every day. I'm glad I went but I'll be going to Lunardi's for my big expensive sandwiches from now on.”
“Excellent meat and poultry products from sustainable farms where animals are pasture-raised and treated humanely. In an ideal world. I’d be a vegan; in the real world, I am not and am grateful to Marin Farms for providing best-care animal practices.”
“I don't look for goat very often but am making Barbacoa for a special occasion. First, I called around and all of the other shops were unable to source any goat right now, at least those that even bothered to pick up the phone. I called Oakland Halal and they picked up the phone and confirmed they had goat immediately. The shop is small but the butcher behind the counter is awesome. I told him I wanted either a leg or a shoulder. He told me how the different cuts would very and when I told him what I was making we agreed on the leg. He cut it to my exact weight request and informed me that not only was the meat fresh it was local (I think that matters). I was out of there in minutes and with a giant mango on the house! How could you ask for more.”
“They have all the Louisiana products to make whatever they also carry Zumo meat co. Products from Beaumont Texas. Whenever I am in Richmond I try to stop by and get some part-time sausages.”
