The employee (didn't catch his name) suggested the chuck roast and even explained the difference between another cut of meat I was inquiring about. He told me the cheaper cut will be better for my pot roast. I always love honest recommendations and not being upsold for the sake of upselling. Baron's is also the go-to butcher shop for rare cuts like Denver steak. IYKYK about Denver cut; it's great for sous vide and then seared to perfection. They have some wagyu cuts and I think I even saw picanha aka coulette steaks! Shout out to Alex O. for exceptional service and a great memory when I stopped by many months ago! I need to shop here more often for their high quality meats and uber friendly service. And one day, I will try their dry aged steaks.

Hey I like some veggies and fruit and shrooms also but most of my diet is meat and seafood, as mama God intended it to be. It is awesome to have such a nice family owned butcher shop in town that is all about quality. I have purchased oysters, chicken, salmon, bacon and different cuts of meat over the years and all fresh and fantastic. They also have duck which I haven't purchased yet be cause I don't have my brothers insane duck recipe. That will change soon. The other items I buy are bones and oxtails for bone broth. In the freezer section are meaty oxtails, lamb and beef neck bones and sometimes knuckle bones. In the meat counter they have cut up leg bones. My number one place for bones. Store bought bone broth pales in compareson to my recipe and even though a takes a hot minute to make, it's worth it. The staff is great and very knowledgeable.

Nice resource I found recently. It is a meat wholesaler, so straight warehouse facility that I'm…read moresure delivers to stores and restaurants. And after gazing at their product listing one day, I can kinda tell that they probably service a lot of ethnic shops like taquerias and small brick n mortars. You actually don't see or interact with any of their products directly. Upon opening their public door, there's a small office with a window. There's a current product sheet there with current pricing. You have to go by this and not with what you got in the past, or internet postings, as this sheet will be their current inventory and pricing. And pricing these days can vary greatly from week to week as well as supply. There's also a hanging bulletin board that has a lot of weekly specials. Once you've found something, you just place the order with the nice receptionist. She'll draw up a receipt and take your payment. CASH ONLY (for some reason). You then have to go outside where your car is and wait for a warehouse employee to bring it out to you. They are quick, like I've never had to wait more than 3 minutes. I've tried this place like 3 times now since I work nearby and just hit this up on my way home. Here are some finds: *In a very industrial zone of San Leandro. Close to the Costco but much deeper in industrial streets. Can't see it from a main road. Gotta go under an overpass then parallel a railroad track. Now that I know where it is at, it's a breeze. But first time looking it was a bit of a challenge. *All meats I've gotten thus far are frozen solid. But nicely frozen where you won't have to break anything separating things. Lots of things are well sealed in tight cryovac. So will have to spend time defrosting goods, can't go home and start cooking. But I just put whatever I'm planning on cooking in the fridge for a good day and just cook it the next day or so. And in what meats I've gotten even though frozen at one point is still of really good quality once defrosted. *Beef seems somewhat 'Choice grade' but I haven't seen any labeling to say so. Steaks I've tried are meatier and chewier than most grocery stores in my area, but in a good way. Feels more natural and not as 'water-y'. I've only tried 1 lb Rib Eye Steaks and thin cut NY strips so far, and have been more than pleased. Also tried some lamb shoulder chops and they too made for good dishes. *Pricing less than retail grocery stores unless there is mass grocery sale. Competive with Costco beef pricing but here you'll have to defrost something slowly. But you won't have to go through the Costco grind of getting aggravated in the parking lot, weaving through hundreds of people and waiting in life-sucking lines. I mean I'll still go to Costco, but if I can go to Costco less, then I've just freed up a big part of my personal time. *If I'm ever gonna feed a big group, big bbq, holiday party, big potluck etc., this will be a legit option. You can get cases of stuff here, whole ribeyes and briskets, cases of chicken/pork/lamb. They even have bacon, sausage and common cheeses on wholesale. And a big draw here is they have a ton of ethnic meats, which is why I'm sure they deal with a lot ethnic mom n pops. Tripe, suadero, beef cheeks, pork necks, livers all here. Probably won't find that stuff at Costco. *Warehouse hours, open like super early like 6-7 am and close by noon. Works for my hours but not for many others. Good fit for me, so they'll become a resource for me.

I've been here twice. First time I got a leg of lamb and more recently some double cut pork chops…read more I'm sure they are helpful if you ask questions but they were pretty busy both times I came in and it felt like you needed to know what you wanted for the most part. For the leg of lamb, I think most people get a whole leg of lamb. That was way too much for me and I think the butcher thought I was confused when I asked for less and asked me what I was doing with it. He ended up saying he could give me a half leg of lamb and I agreed. Thar was about 3 and a half pounds (bone included) which was the perfect amount. I seared it and then braised it and the meat fell off the bone. Delicious and the price was pretty good. I was cooking my first pork chop and decided to come here to get it. Their pork isn't labeled as Berkshire or Duroc or anything but that probably keeps the price down. For chops, they had boneless, bone in, and double cut (which was also bone in). I mentioned I wanted it to be about 2 inches thick and the butcher said to get the double cut.I got 2 beautiful thick pork chops for $6.99 a pound so about $18 total. The regular cut bone in pork chops were the same price though obviously smaller. I brined this overnight and reverse seared it and it was great. The chop was a loin chop- loin and then a tenderloin nugget- not a pure rib chop. Cooked really nicely and was tender which I think was partially the overnight brine and also their pork. They do sell some vegetables and grocery supplies if you want to just make a single stop. They also have a deli with some sandwiches that looked good and prepared foods. I was very focused on buying the things I came in for and getting on with my day both times but I would like to take a closer look in the future as it looked good. Solid butcher shop and clearly loved since it was busy both on a weekend and during the week. I'm sure I will be back.

My father used to come here when I was kid for our holiday lamb roast or prime ribs and that was…read moreover 40 years ago. So yeah this place has been a around. It used to be called Dimond meats and has been in that location since the 1920s. (learn something new everyday). I'd been meaning to start shopping here, mainly because the quality of grocery chain meat has gone down hill and since the man doesn't eat meat It's more prudent for me to get smaller portions which you can do at the butcher. You can also get other meat like rabbit, goat and such here. I'd visited the chain grocery and couldn't find fresh Turkey legs. What they had in their freezer case looked so unappetizing and were breasts or thighs and even the grocery butcher said to try the local meat market. So I called up Waylands to see if they had and they could get in with in a weeks time. When the time comes, off I trott (no pun intended) to pick them up. 4 fresh turkey legs, no frozen in preservative injected water. The line was out the door, but the staff were so helpful and quick. They smelled fresh, and cooked up great. I put them in the crockpot, so toughness or rubbery texture that the grocery poultry is starting to have. They also have andouille, boudin, turkey, hot links and other items. I can also get oxtails and have them cut smaller if I want. Once I've used up my frozen meat selection I will be return to them. Prices are great too. My 4 turkey legs only cost me $17. Also while waiting in line, I notice they have sandwiches, so I will swing by to pick one up before start of my shift one day.

With a hair appt two blocks away from A K Meats, a redo was in order. After 15+ years, I'm glad to finally knock this off my list. There's a reason that A K Meats, a small mom and pop shop has been around for over 25 years because it did NOT disappoint! For only $15.99, you get a generous portion of their Housemade NY-Style Pastrami....thinly shaved, tender, and moist with a rich, savory, meaty flavor that isn't overly salty. It's piled over melty swiss cheese and comes with a smear of mustard for a nice tang. I took it a step further and added pepperoncini (+$0.75) - I love that the pepperoncini is shaved so thin, giving you just enough acidic punch without that strong mouth-puckering hit. A roll is the way to go for structural integrity and if you plan to save the other half for dinner. If you're looking for a top-notch hot pastrami sandwich, IMHO, A K Meats is worth trekking across the city for. It beats waiting in line at a certain AI/tech-bro fav in SoMa. Don't get me wrong...their sandwiches are good but paying $30 out the door AND enduring 45 minutes to 1 hour of pre-seed, valuation, and burn rate chatter in line is brutal. Ya girl wants TEA, not TAM! O T H E R I N F O * A K Meats is a butcher shop and seafood counter. They also sell pantry items, snacks, and bottled drinks. * The wife & husband duo also own 25th/Clement Produce Market next door. * Takeout only but they have two tables and bench seating outside. * Their POS bypasses the tip option so bring cash! * No restroom onsite. * Street parking is doable on the weekdays.

Given this was a memorial service reception, their lack of empathy and professionalism really put a damper on the entire reception. I think you guys can do better and hire better waitstaff.
