Prepared meals are excellent. Rick and Carrie, are just wonderful people. The best salmon you'll ever find in right there. Great sausage to put on a grill and even the hot dogs are made there. Simply, top notch!!!

I would like to give this place 4.7,4.8 starsBecause I'm friends with other butchers,but it would be wrong to go as low as 4 stars.I only tried ,filet, coffee chili pork chop,and strip.Service was excellent, knowledgeable, friendly.The filet:tender,and flavorful;Pork chop less punch than I wanted but quality meat(and acceptable to people who don't like coffee/ chili punch)the strip we froze and it did very well.I

This business has the empathy and customer service that is rare and treasured. I called to see if they had any bone broth for my dog, who’s not eating. They said: “No, but I can get it started tonight and have it for you in the morning.” Wow! Touched my heart. In addition to the wonderful meat, this business is a wonderful neighbor!!

What a gem of a place!!! The owners are super caring and nice. Very genuine people and quality product what a refreshing business to walk into. The only thing is the main entrance is a little hidden....be sure to walk down the alley towards Starbucks and you will see on the right. Highly recommend

Just happened to find this place wondering around Lake Forest today. Rick made me a Cuban sandwich that was mind blowing. I will become a regular here going forward.

The daily grind is a great place to go! I got takeout Italian beef sandwiches and baked macaroni and cheese for my family. The owner was pleasant, and was very kind. The smell of delicious meats was in the air as I waited for the final touches to be put on our sandwiches. She was so considerate, and even brought out a box we could put our sandwiches in because they would be to hot to carry in a bag. The food didn't disappoint! I have heard that they have the best Italian beef sandwiches that you will ever have, and TRULY, these are THE BEST ITALIAN BEEF SANDWICHES THAT YOU WILL EVER HAVE. The baked macaroni and cheese was also delicious, and it even had something like breadcrumbs on the top. To me they tasted like dried seasoned stuffing, and that just added to the delicious flavor. Their meats looked and smelled amazing too, and I will definitely be back here again!

My sister had a baby in August. I live in California and due to COVID, traveling was tough so we ordered food from The Daily Grind for my sister and her husband at least 3 times a week since. Carrie is extremely kind and helpful. Recently I was able to come visit my sister and I finally got to eat Carrie's amazing food. Everything is so perfect from the grilled skirt steak, coffee rubbed pork chop, grilled salmon, grilled Chilean sea bass, twice baked potatoes to grilled vegetables. I am just so thankful to have had The Daily Grind here cooking and delivering food for my sister. Reasonable, high quality and wonderful service. I cannot thank her enough.

Best butcher supply in the area. Great authentic owners trying to make an honestly living and We’ve never had a better steak in any restaurant let alone cooking at home. Lets support these incredible people during this pandemic and moving forward. Worth every penny.

Tucked away inside a Courtyard between Williams Sonoma and Lilulemon - However inside the store is a superb meat market - The owner is warm, friendly and goes the extra mile to make sure that you are welcomed. Has truly the best freshest meats.
