Poor quality. Lousy customer service. Buy your meats at Raley's or Whole Foods in Reno. Bought two thick Ribeye steaks for $172; one was okay and the other was awful and tough. When I complained the reaction was "we make a ton of money and do not need your business"! Definitely not worth the money.

I always know I am going to love a town when I am talking to my people about something and a local leans over and offers a suggestion to just the local place that I need. And that's how I found out about Mountain Valley Meats. I was in the Raley's (and it's a lovely Raley's for a chain supermarket) and looking at their meat selection said to my husband, I think we will need to find the local butcher. And a local pulls up next to us and says, "you need to go to Mountain Valley Meats". And so we did. I was looking for something very specific. And I called a few days ahead thinking that they would have to order it. And I shouldn't have worried. They were happy to cut it and have it ready for me the next day. On top of that, they even tied it for me since I wasn't in my own kitchen and didn't have my supplies with me. And I have to tell you, it was one of the most beautiful cuts of pork that I have ever cooked. When I went to pick it up I was blown away by their meat selection. I bought some of their house made sausages and the potsticker sausage was incredible just pan seared and served with roasted potatoes. The hot sausages were also just beautiful. The beef jerky they sell is incredible. And a top notch selection of milk and cheese. I wish I had found them sooner because the steaks looked absolutely beautiful. Next time though, they have a customer for life.

What an absolute gem! I've been having a hard time find a special cut of pork shoulder to cure and Jake went out of his way to help me and specially cut exactly what I was looking for. We also grabbed a few of their sausages and will be stopping by to grab more before we head home.

Try their chili, marinated meat, and marinated chicken. Not only do they have high quality meat and chicken, they know how to make great marinades and chili!!

the house made sausage and bacon is great. I just wish they had better quality meat. when I was in there they only had Neman ranch for pork and beef. for that I might as well go to safeway.

Not the friendliest bunch to be honest, perhaps that's their mojo. Standard high end Niman Ranch (and other sourced) meats - definitely quality but that is true for those source provider almost anywhere it's offered. Great to be able to get good product in Truckee and I can put up with a bit of attitude without an issue personally. They could learn a thing about connecting with their customers from Oliver's (SF) or Gambrel's (RWC)

Such an incredible find when visiting Tahoe. One of the best sausage makers in the country.

A butcher open on Sundays? How rare (no pun intended) is that? Got a marinated Tri-Tip today-BEST we’ve ever had bar none! Unique brats which we’ll grill later this week. Friendly service. We will be back for more, quality meats and fair prices versus restaurant food…no contest!

Their sausages are amazing and I recommended going early as they are popular!!

Review is only for the sausages which we found actually quite bland . We tried several flavours . From now on we take up sausages from our local Los Gatos meats which blow these away . The guy who helped me out was pretty unfriendly and abrupt - which I could give a s*** about if the sausages had been any good . I'll probably be back eventually to try another cut of meat since they are the only butchers in town .

What a wonderful treat for a meat lover!! House made hamburgers were eye rolling delicious. We chose bacon burgers (bacon mixed in the beef). Juicy and flavorful. The coup de gras was the PRIME New York strip though. So tender it melted in my mouth. Happy to find this market and grateful for the owner's recommendation.

Great shop with solid employees and the best cuts in town hands down. They helped me out with my dog's last meal and helped make her last hours very special. 11/10 would recommend. Thank you guys for everything.

Hands down one of the best butcher shops I’ve ever been to. The quality of meat was outrageous. The pork chops and potsticker sausage were absolute standouts.
