"My what delicious sandwiches you have ..." I had the meatball and two weeks later I was craving it again. This time I went to the location and was wowed at how many significant items they fit into their small space. A beautiful meat counter, a refrigerated wall of various beverages and shelves full of my favorite spices and condiments plus stuff I am just itching to try. Top notch service, food handling, presentation, portion size, and quality. Thx so much .. luv ya !!

If you loveeee the meats I highly recommend this shop!!Quite busy during the lunch hour and since sandwiches are made fresh, the wait time can stack up if there even a few people ahead of you. Definitely worth it though for a fresh, hot sandwich!!! And they aren't skimpy on the meats which is hard to say for all establishments.Another plus: they offer a military discount!

The Meat Company is a butcher in Los Alamitos, next door to Original Fish Company, with high quality cuts of meat, reasonable prices, and a wonderfully curated shop with delicious snacks and pantry staples. I come here for their delicious sandwiches, for their frozen meatballs (to level up my spaghetti game), and for their high quality steaks. You can get wagyu and meat from snake river farms if that is interesting to you. My go to meat order is their prime picanha steak. It seems like it would be expensive, but I can get two 1.5" to 2" steaks for a reasonable cost. Picanha, made popular in brazilian churrascos, are juicy and flavorful and I love that I can find them here!Aside from this, the butchers are quite helpful. They don't have a lot of seating, so I usually plan to take my sandwiches home or for a day that I'm out and about.

whatever u do, get their tritip sandwich! the bread was as perfect as you could get. french roll but with a tender tough crust around the pillow soft interior that asks for just a little tug as you bite. so satisfying! the tritip slices are about 1/4" thick so you get the full tritip taste. i despise thin cut tritip. they add a red cabbage slaw which is zesty and a tad bit of heat. so perfect with the rich & savoriness of the meat.

Lunch time on a Wednesday around 11:30am ... wanted to try the Meat co. Called in an order for two sandwiches. The woman told me 20 mins. I arrived 30+ mins later and strolled in to a store empty of customers. The woman behind the back counter told me she was still working on my order. Another 10 mins goes by and finally my order is ready. While waiting I wandered the store. They have an impressive butcher counter filled with fresh cuts of meat. They also have lots of chips, flavored seeds, cheeses, beef jerky, frozen desserts (cakes and pies, ice cream). They also have packaged veggies ready to cook/grill. Service here in an empty store was surprisingly non-existent. There was no effort whatsoever to acknowledge me other than taking my name for my to go order and then checking out at the end. The guy behind the butcher counter didn't even acknowledge my presence. This is a very small store so everyone sees everyone. I enjoy browsing without interruption most places. But an empty store, quiet, I'm waiting a super long time for my order (over twice as long as promised), I felt like an unwanted trespasser - frankly it was odd. I don't need entertainment or a song and dance but the vibe was weird. My hubby who eats anything said the wagyu hot dog was not great - he said it definitely did not taste like premium Wagyu and definitely not worth the amount of money. The short rib grilled cheese was delicious. It was packed with good quality meat and very filling. Good sandwich to share. The chocolate chip cookies bought at the counter were really tasty. $4 each. Recommend calling in your order for sandwiches before coming. And assuming extra wait time than what is told. If you have a tight timeframe for lunch then skip this place.

So this place popped up for me when I opened yelp today and they had my curiosity when I saw the pastrami and that it was house cured. So I called them up and ordered and was told it would be ready in 15 minutes (pretty standard when ordering a sandwich from most places). I got there and the sandwich was ready, the staff welcomed me in and recommended their chipotle pasta salad as a side. They also had a good selection of quality sodas (read made with real sugar and decent ingredients)So I took my nice hot sandwich and headed back home. The menu said the sandwich was on a toasted roll but even better it came on some lightly toasted marble rye (pastrami belongs on rye). While different than other pastrami sandwiches I have had this one was delicious and stands on its own. The poblano mustard and pickle offer a great tartness to the somewhat sweet and salty pastrami and the melted cheddar was icing on the cake. The slices were thick which meant more of a bite/chew compared to most places where the pastrami is razor thin but that is to be expected with thicker cuts. The chipotle pasta salad had a bit of a kick but was super creamy and good. Now I need to try their other sandwiches!As for ambience, it's a meat market and the selection of meats along with having their own dry freezer will lead me to come back when I am looking to grill up some quality beef as well. I know others had bad experiences but mine was really good, the food was tasty and I want to try some of their other sandwiches as well! 10/10 recommended.

I cannot say enough great things about this meat shop! From the moment I walked in, the customer service was top-notch--friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about their products. The quality of the meat is second to none. I ordered an Italian meatball sandwich, and let me tell you, it was absolutely incredible. The taste was out of this world, with the perfect blend of seasonings and fresh ingredients. Every bite was a burst of flavor, and it was clear the sandwich was crafted with care and attention to detail. This place is a true gem, and I'll definitely be returning for more!

What a great place for quality meats and all kinds of items to make a fabulous meal. We actually came by for my husband's free birthday sandwich (that he discovered last week when first coming). We had an excellent tri tip sandwich, chips and a bottle of lemonade. It isn't a restaurant but has two tables (each with two chairs) just out front.
