Meat Market Inc

To be fair this place really needs a separate review for the grill and the market. I have always come here just for the market. They have excellent quality meats and have the best cuts of porterhouse I can find. It has extensive marbling of fat and yet always perfectly trimmed on the outside. Most other places also cut the portion way too thin. The thickness is key to be able to search the outside of the meat at high temps and yet leave the middle rare. I have also called them ahead when I need to order Korean stay brisket. They freeze a portion for me and then slice it thin when I there
I am not a fan of the grill, it’s not anything special and I echo sentiments that the meats can come out lukewarm for sitting around for too long. They can’t compare to Mike’s grill

Happened in on Tri Tip Tuesday. Trip tip was fresh cooked, well seasoned and delicious. Got it sliced thin. Took it home and paired with Basque french sandwich rolls garlic toased on the insdie and the delicious Meat Market BBQ sauce. So good I could eat it every day!
Inside of store was clean and very well stocked in the butcher counter. This location is waaay better than the Pinedale one. Customer service was great. Everyone who greeted me and helped me was cheerful and cared that I had a good experience.

Cold Tri-​Tip sandwich, bland potato salad. Customer service, lets just say they need some training. Also they want a tip at the window– here’s a tip, when someone says hello, it wouldn’t kill you to say hello back.

Excellent products! You could not ask for better meat and marinades, but it does leave one to wish for a little wider selection of cuts. The prices are a little heavy, but you pay for what you get!

Each customer has his own flock of flies.
Hot dog — cold. Tri tip sandwich– barely warm. Steak sandwich– warm. On the plus side the onion rings were so yummy!
Restroom (one) inside. You have to ask for it, it is not marked and behind a door that has lots of things to trip over before you actually get to the restroom.
Outside dining only.
So many flies that they only open the screen at the order window an inch to pass the money.
You must wait by the window to hear your number.
Sooooo many signs saying «NO» right by the order window. Also they charge for soda refills which is so annoying. The big plus for me was that they do not have a kids menu. I love to eat at places like that but they are hard to come by these days. That plus great onion rings is what made me give three stars instead of one.
There are several other tri-​tip and rib places in town that are plenty good. With inside seating, etc.
The Unilocal post about the person who called in an order, then went to pick it up and was told that we don’t do phone orders was disturbing.
Not sure about the fascination for this place. We might try it again if soda refills become free.

Got the sliced tri-​tip, rice pilaf and chili beans. Awesome food and feeds 8 people (with the quart size sides). Prices have gone up a little, spent about $ 45. There is a special on Tuesday, but it’s Sunday so no big deal.

Had the Tri-​tip burrito it was good. Customer service is no good. They ignore you and have few people skills if any they need better customer service. Won’t make the drive again.

I shopped here for the first time today, and I have to say I’m impressed. The staff were very friendly and helpful, and the prices for the marinated meats are great. I will definitely be coming back soon.

We just got married on June 20^th and we had a bbq buffet at our wedding catered by the meat market. We tried a ton of different bbq places before we decided on the meat market. Their meat was a huge hit with our guests and so were the sides. People were even fighting over leftovers lol Surprised that people have had bad service from the employees since every time we have been in we have been treated fantastically and had great service. I definitely would recommend them to others and we will be absolutely be using them again.

We Love this place! Great food. They have a Good selection of local wine and local beer, great pairing options!

Love the food but geezz can they please get better customer service they are rude and and not customer service oriented

Go for the meat market… the options in the case are plenty, all sure to make your backyard BBQ a success. The little market also has all the sauces, spices, produce and spirits to make it even more successful.
Can’t say the same for the take away window. We had lunch here today. N. Carolina pork sandwich and a Philly cheese steak (I warned him about ordering a cheese steak from a bbq window) it was less than satisfactory. The pork sammie was decent though it was a little skimpy on the meat. Unfortunately the bbq sauce was the most disappointing, it had no complexity and tasted a bit like low-​cost sauce that was created for the masses. .who lack a palate. He called it the «McDonald’s of BBQ».
Sides were lacking too, macaroni and pasta salads didn’t blow our hair back, their taste was bland and could have certainly used some mayo in the mac salad and absolutely some italian seasoning or dressing in the pasta salad.
Really most surprising was the bbq sauce. A tasty, spicy sauce would have catapulted these sandwiches and the baby back ribs out of the ballpark. We opted for a sauce we purchased inside the little store.
Happy I didn’t have to deal with the cooking time, the dishes or the preparation. Satisfied my empty belly, but did not satisfy my taste buds.

This is only about the grill: Very enjoyable. I always get food to go, window staff is very friendly, service is quick, food is hot and good. No major complaints.

It was my first time there this past weekend and it was disappointing experience. I needed to grab the precooked Tri-​tip to slice at home for guests coming to lunch. It was a very «green» staff at the counter who obviously were new to cooking and serving.
Service was bad, as the staff messed up my order. It seemed like nobody was running the place nor was really paying attention. They just wanted to hand the meat out the window and get rid of the pesky customer.
Second problem was cooking of the meat. I ordered medium, and got two tri-​tips as rare and bloody as I have ever seen. I had to cook the meat much longer at home.
Basically, it seemed like they were all new to the walk up counter and really did not know what they were doing. Too bad. I really wanted to like this place.

The market: nice selection of meats, more convenient than going to supermarket but expensive.
The grill: I literally couldn’t finish my tri-​tip sandwich. So chewy and grisly. Good fries and beans. Not sure how other menu items are. Had the whole chicken to go and it was so overcooked there was a hardened crust covering the entire chicken. Went right in the trash.

Don’t listen to all of the bad reviews! 5 Stars for the «MEAT market!» Go for just that. This review is based on their meat and not their lunch/​curbside grill. The prices are fair on their meats/​seafood but not on other products which seem quite a bit higher. However, in their defense they can do that because you go for the meat then end up grabbing a side and etc. out of convenience.
Some of my favorites and must-​haves:
1. Filet @ 19.99lb
2. Black and Blue Chicken @ 4.99lb
3. Bourbon Peppercorn Ribeye @ 9.99lb
4. Medium uncooked Prawns @ 12.99lb
5. Gilroy Garlic Chicken @ 3.99lb

I have been to the place dozens of times. The last two were so bad, I’ll never be back. I knew I was in trouble from the sign on the take out window. It stated they would only give food refunds with receipt and would weigh the food and give a refund on what was not eaten. If I had not taken the Carolina Pork Sandwich back to work I would have got 100% of my money back. The «freshly» BBQ pork was refrigerator cold. You shouldn’t have to nuke a $ 7 pulled pork sandwich bought at a «Meat Market». Their «Famous» Tri-​Tip sandwhich was luke warm, over cooked, dry with soggy bread the trip before. The grill was so bad, I won’t go into the overpriced market anymore.

Don’t order a salad here. I ordered a side salad at the window for my son and they literally gave him a cup (drink) with iceberg lettuce and that was it. My grilled chicken salad was all iceberg browning on the sides.
I realized when I walked away from the window that I had thanked the guy but he hadn’t thanked me. Seemed a little backward. He also got the order wrong.
If you want to have their meat with a salad, I’d advise going to McDonalds first and getting one of their salads and their purchasing a chicken breast or something. Frankly Farmer boys sells a much much better salad for around the same price.
I will say that I had a Ribeye sandwich there a couple years ago that was awesome. Just didn’t feel the customer service or the price ($ 15.95 for a okay cheeseburger and bad side «salad» for my son and a grilled chicken salad for me) was worth my going back.

We love coming here for our meat and chichen, all kinds of rubs, sauces, flavors always juicy, we recently had them cater a party and the trip tip was good but the chicken was a tad bit salty. Otherwise we have never been disappointed in the service and products of this place.

We ordered a slab of pork ribs and a container of cole slaw to take home.
The meat was very disappointing. It tasted like it had been cooking on high heat for a long time. The exterior was dried out, and was more like jerky than succulent ribs. I have a hard time understanding how a place that specializes in meat doesn’t know how to cook it well.
The cole slaw was good.
