Sam's Market

Great produce and fresh meat. All of the staff are nice and helpful. They sell a variety of items from different cultures.

My daughter went today around at 4:30pm to bought some meat for me to cook soup. When she got home k open the wrap, omg.... the meat smell bad, it must be old meat they kept in frozen for such a long time. I called them 7 times to tell them what happened, but to bad no one answer the calls. The business claim they open until 6pm but sadly no one able to help me.

Was in a rush didn't want to stop by a bigger grocery store... they had beef soup bones and other hard to find cuts of beef and pork at a really good price. Glad I stop by will be shopping here again.

Real talk if you need meat and produce hit up this market. Always fresh, always on point with their stock, great prices and some of the best staff. Ill always come here when I want to cook at home, give em a try, their selection will never disappoint.

For whatever reason, I am having a helluva time finding an actual butcher in Modesto. Or anywhere it seems. I know that the profit margin on meat is super tight theses days and only the real big seller's (i.e. Costco) can really make it work through volume. It's still sad to see less and less Butcher's shops around. I grew up with a butcher in the family and have been forever spoiled.Well I have to say, with some embarrassment, that Sam's fills that void in Modesto quite nicely. I say embarrassment because it's right next to one of my Asian Markets I frequent on Carver. The complex is a little rundown in a rundown area so I kinda have tunnel vision when I get down there. One fateful day I was feeling a little adventurous and walked the entire length of the complex and saw Sam's. To think it was there all that time...Upon passing the window, I immediately noticed how small it was (which can be a good thing) but also that they had some good prices for meat posted on front. Sam's carries just the core products to produce a good meal. Oils, seasonings, rice, certain canned goods, meat, and produce. That's about it. What I really like about this shop is that they have real live butchers in the back who can slice and dice whatever delicious creature they offer to your gut's specification. I, for one, never made it that far as I was so distracted by all their offal all packaged up and ready for the big show. Snouts, tails, and organs oh my! By the time I came to, several minutes had passed and I realized I had been standing in front of the meat case practically drooling like some loon on bath salts. I made a mental note of their selection and moved on to their produce trying play it cool.Like their dry goods, their produce selection is limited to the main supporting fruits and veggies.I picked up a couple items, had a nice conversation with the cashier and informed her that I would return for some offal. Especially them pig tails :) I know I'm being dramatic and that there are a couple of other shops around that I have yet to frequent, but there used to be a lot more out there. Until I do check out these other places, this is my House of Strange and Wonderful Meats. I would not hesitate to check this place out if you have not. Do keep in mind it is really small, but has good prices on quality meats. And no, not all of it is guts and weird stuff.

My pork roasts came out awesome for thanksgiving, just love the meat here! Oh, and the new ground chicken is so good for taco night!

Had a great experience at Sams! The meats and produce are very fresh and reasonably priced. They did a special order cut for me that I would otherwise have needed to go outside of town to get. The staff is super friendly and welcoming. I highly recommend you go and stop in for a visit!!! Thanks again for helping to make my dinner a smashing success!!!

Staff is always friendly and helpful. We need to support more small businesses like Sam's. I actually use this market for oddball stuff most of the time, turkey necks, gizzards, chicken feet. My boxer loves them!

Sams was always my favorite and the meat taste good! David is the nicest person to do buisness with always trying to help the customer chose the right meat for any occasion Any cut of meat just ask David! Try the pork ribs, beef rib, chuck roast, and the brisket! Hamburger tasty and chicken ready to marinate! Try some Asain hoison sauce for pork or beef and lemon sauce to marinate your shrtimp or Basa! served with green salad.The perfect fit lean meal! Some Asian noodles for chow main with sugar snap peas, onions, celery, and mushrooms for a side dish! or some asain chile paste for spicy meats with rice. Enjoy being creative with Sam's selection in the perfect place to order your food if you want to pick it up. Great for any busy person schedule! Meat packages upon request.

This place has the freshest selection of meat that I've seen, best in town. I love the beef short ribs, my favorite.
