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.

Fresh delicious meat, the sausages are so good and such a variety that I get a new kind very time. The staff are very helpful and friendly

They got everything you need for tonight's dinner
Sally Mueller
Amazing rib eye steaks. Very courteous service - shopping there was like walking back to a time when merchants were gracious and competent. Large selection of beef, pork, poultry and fish/seafood. My new and forever butcher.

Go to meat shop for holidays and any occasion deserving of a special meal. Service is old school friendly and you can order ahead for pick up. Worth the drive from anywhere in the East Bay.

I do not want this place to be stinky at all. Instead, I want to get rid of the stinky smell.
I miss the owner, Jerry. He's been out sick for a long time, in fact I think ever since the beginning of the pandemic. With him there, this shop was excellent. Now, not so much. They ground the fish for me for passover. The resulting mixture was so watery that we could barely shape it for gefelte fish. :( This never happened when Jerry was in charge. I hope he is going to recover, and maybe he can find someone who could help him run the store and maybe even take over.

Great selection of meats, especially beef and specialty items like beef tongue, fresh duck, livers. I also like their homemade sausages. Not too expensive either

What's happened to these guys? I get COVID is causing all of us to be overworked. But they don't answer their phones, when they do, they are rude, unhelpful, and most unpleasant to deal with. This is 2 instances over the last month. It took 4 phone calls today to finally get them to even answer, and when they did they told me they couldn't help me with an order for 3 pounds of salmon and just hung up. Taking my fish business elsewhere. Berkeley Bowl or Marina Fish in San Leandro.

I have loved this butcher shop for more than 30 years. A real butcher shop. I get soo nervous, as I don't know the cuts of meat very well, and every single time they have helped me make the best choice. Very busy during the holidays but worth the wait. That whole block is amazing food shopping. Coffee, produce, dairy, flowers, wine, butcher, bakery, pizza, juice. It's what I imagine an European market would be. Bring a big market bag or two and enjoy the stroll.

This is one of my go-to places for high-quality cuts of meat. These guys know their business, and that's providing professional butchery products and services at a fair price. No wonder there's always a line out the door for holiday centerpiece roasts, even pre-COVID. They sharpen knives too, but not during the holiday rushes, so plan accordingly.
