JC Meat

DO NOT have this place process your beef. They DO NOT know what they are doing. I gave this place a try when they first opened and what a mistake. Completely hacked my beef order. Fast forward to recently. I didn't have a date set at my go to Butcher since I was A.I. my cow and trying to get her pregnant but she ended up open so I called Sean to give him a second chance and see if they made improvements. He assured me they had. I got my order and immediately regretted my decision to try him out again after I could have used another local place as they were willing to accommodate me.Going into this I knew this cow was well marbled and fully finished. Live weight was approx. 1400lbs. Hanging weight was 967# at JC meats. She was a large full frame cow. I had them cut my brisket into 2 points and 2 flats. I ended up with 4 small pieces of brisket approx. 3lbs each that fit into the freezer door. To put this into perspective my usual briskets from a approx. +700# hanging weight are 8-10lbs. each x 4. This cow had a huge brisket, where did it go?I gave him instructions for 1.5" steak cuts. Multiple T-bone cuts were 2" on one end and tapered down to ¼" WTF! Try cooking those steaks. Only ended up with 17 T-bones. Several Top Sirloin steak packs were the size of large roasts. Short ribs packs sizing was all over the map along with several other cuts. Our roasts order was 3-4lb a pack. We got roasts from 3-6lb and all kinds of shapes and sizes. Tri-tips were small. Ground beef, 4 burgers in the last week and only one without gristle. None of my ground beef has ever had gristle from my go to butcher. There was absolutely no consistency with the processing.If you ever had a professional craftsman butcher do your processing, you'd know what I'm talking about. I slaughter approx. 8-12 steers a year. Take your beef to Lemoore Food locker and you'll see. They do it right, every time and are quite a bit less expensive. Like I told Sean, I don't mind paying you top dollar, but I expect the job done right. For the price JC meats charges you may as well take your order to any several other local places and have it done much better. I've spoken with Sean regarding this, sent him pictures, and he agreed. Now he is not getting back to me like he said he would. I've never had any issues from processing from any place but JC meats. I do have my preference and am particular on how it is done though. If you're okay with just having your beef hacked up to eat, then you'll be okay with this place but they should charge accordingly.There's no way I can do business with this place again. Nor can I recommend this place. With the time, effort and money that is spent on making sure my beef cattle are prime and ready for the freezer just for my order to be hacked is something I cannot afford, and neither can anyone else.Take your prized beef to well established craftsman.

The ribeye steak sandwich was fire. Small place but you can take out . Nice employees also very helpful. Im gonna buy some meat next time.

Best cuts of locally raised beef available. They're always super friendly and accommodating. If they don't have it in the case, they'll look in back, if you don't like what they've got in back, in the case of brisket, they'll let you choose your carcass and cut it off for you. I have tried their NY, Ribeye, Bone-in Ribeye, Porterhouse, and T-Bone love them all but the Porterhouse has become my favorite!

Great , simple sandwich. Got some jerky to go as well, and it was incredible. Hidden gem in the valley.

If you're looking for a nice fresh piece of meat, then JC Meat Co is the place to go. Although, the prices are a little on the high side, I believe it's worth every penny. I recently purchased some ribeyes, perfect amount of marbling, they grilled up perfectly. The flavor was unbelievable.

It sounds nice on the menu but they do not have ribeye or brisket available for takeout. False advertising at its best! I've easily called over 15 different times (different days of the week, as soon as they open, midday, afternoon, ahead of time, etc.) only to hear the same thing every time: "We have tri tip today". That's fine but take ribeye and brisket off your menu already! They have it written outside for everyone to read daily. It makes me wonder if they just try getting busy people to go inside to buy their tri tip sandwiches in a hurry as a last resort for lunch once realizing they have wasted half their lunch time. I don't even go anymore; I'm tired of their tri tip sandwiches. Locally, there are better places that sell tri tip. You guys do not sell ribeye sandwiches, quit lying. They do, however, sell $50 ribeye steaks for you to prepare at home if you'd like. Say that!
