I love their sushi bowls and their spin on barbecue with eastern fusion. Can't go wrong with either side of the menu. Watch out for their spice levels... you maybe surprised with the heat.

This meat market is a cooperative of local ranchers from around the area. They have a particular…read moreslaughterhouse they use. I don't know if it is part of the cooperative or just a contracted arrangement. I contacted them because I wanted a whole beef tenderloin for Thanksgiving. The market had me call the slaughterhouse directly and talk with the purveyor directly. My tenderloin came from animal processed just before Thanksgiving and delivered to the market in Jamestown for me to pick up. They also will process your game if you are a hunter. They also make their own sausages which are very good. I was told that a fair amount of customers want prime rib for the holiday season. They have a special additional refrigerator in back they use for the holidays. The storefront was clean and orderly. The gentleman at the counter was knowledgeable and friendly. What a great find!

Absolutely the worst service we've ever received. The owners son helped us out at the end of their…read moreday. We did come in 10 mins before they were closing, we thought we could still grab some tri tip sandwiches. We walked in and the son said with a sigh and attitude, Hi How can we help you? We ask for the sandwiches to which he sighs again and says Sure! Sarcastically. He checks the cooler then slams that shut. Then the other employee asks what we wanted and he says loud enough for us to hear, just two sandwiches! And the other one responds "I just put that away." Then he says that's usually how it goes!! He comes back out and they're making little comments to each other. We wait maybe 5 minutes and it's ready which is great. Until the other kid dropped the paper bag on the counter and says here you go! With a sarcastic voice and smile. I never want to be a Karen but this was some of the worst customer service I have ever received. I wouldn't recommend them to anyone especially for just two half way decent tri tip sandwich for $38. Yikes. You would think that a family owned business would want to provide good customer service.

I was expecting a butcher shop where I could select some fresh pork chops or rib eye steaks. But…read moremost of the meats were pre-packaged frozen meats. Absolutely nothing wrong with that... it just wasn't what I was looking for. We did buy some frozen steaks. I found the prices to be reasonable but not worth going out of the way for (it's about 40 miles away from where we live). Regarding the quality of the steaks, we didn't find them to be better than what we normally purchase.

I was visiting the area this past weekend, and with how crazy Bay Area groceries have gotten, I…read moreknew I had to stock up on the meats from Swingle's! I honestly felt like a kid in a candy store, except it was all about getting meats to cook at home. When I walked in, I grabbed a basket and within a few minutes it wad full. I grabbed burger patties, jalapeño sausage patties, 3 sirloin steaks, Alfredo sauce, ravioli, chicken fried steaks, chicken medallions, deli meats, beef jerky, beef sticks, and even liver treats for my dogs. What's great about this place is the prices. Most of the items I grabbed were all $12 or less, mostly in the $6-8 range. Normally I get Tri tips here but wasnt planning on cooking them anytime soon, but even those are reasonably priced at under $40 (depending on size). I walked out of there spending only $92, which is a steal nowadays. Definitely recommend if you are coming up this way, stop at Swingle's for high quality and affordable meats.

Jethro was awesome, having grown up in the area he was full of information about the town and reading the reviews we heard the bacon was to die for. He has tons of items packaged up and ready to go, I can't wait to try the bacon and sausages we got. Luckily we were staying in town and had a fridge and freezer and had our ice chest with us on this trip through so we were able to get a few things and not worry about getting them home.

For context, I often find myself driving between San Francisco and Fresno. On one articular trip,…read moreI was craving prime rib (which happens every two weeks or so). I asked my favorite llm where I should stop by for prime rib going from Fresno to SF. It at first suggested I make a bee like for house of prime rib in sf, which I like but have been to many times. It then suggested house of beef and I'm so glad it did (cattleman's in Livermore was also a 3rd choice but I've been there several times too). Thankfully it was Fri eve and they had prime rib. I like mine rare and it was perfectly cooked, very marbled, huge, well seasoned and delicious. I pared it wth au jus and mashed with gravy. Then, what reminded me to write this review, was the tri tip from the meat counter and took to go. They were nice enough to pack it in ice for my 2 hour drive. I just cooked it on my grill in the rain and this is seriously one of the best tri tips I've ever grilled up. The meat tenderness/marbling/quality is on par with any prime grade/American wagyu I've bought and the seasoning is just super on point. Looking forward to smoking the baby back ribs I picked up as well in the next couple of days but I will definitely be back next time I'm in the area. Seems like other reviews had issue with service but the staff were exceptionally attentive when I was there. Seriously the only thing that wasn't top notch about my experience was the cocktails(mine was totally fine but I'm a bit spoiled when I'm in SF) but for my purposes passing through I just wanted the prime rib and meats to go to be delicious and house of beef certainly lived up to its name!

Service is fast and attentive, staff is apologetic about the wait, but the waiting time was not too late or rushed. Our server 10/10 service, even gave us extra bread to take home. Salad and soup bar were excellent and everything tasted fresh. We loved the tomato soup, but didn't like the french onion dip soup. The bread was amazing, and even tasted great as reheated leftovers. The prime rib and ribeye steak were cooked perfectly to our order, but couldnt finish eating dud to being full from the unlimited bread, salad and soup bar. Garlic fries were amazing and crispy, even after reheated for leftovers. Only a few things I didn't like was when we went to get our soup and salad, they cleared the whole table. I was warming up the butter in my hands for the bread to spread on faster, but they took it away like trash when we went to grab our salad and soups. They resetted the paper towel rolls to the side of the table when we moved it to the center, and they almost took away my husband's alcoholic drink, and then realized we were still dining. The lighting was definitely way too dark. I could see elderly people slipping if there was were liquids or food filled on the floor. The space is interestingly very small for a steak restaurant, but they seem to make everything flow well. Definitely would come again, enjoy the soup and salad bar, and then maybe share a steak instead of ordering two.

Impression: First time visiting this place. I have always…read moreheard great things about it. I have been to quite a few places in Oakdale but always just rolled by this spot. The inside is old school food place with photos of nostalgia of the country. Flow: You can call in and pick up for fast service or drop in and wait to be seated. It could be a long wait or it could be fast depending on the line. The service is fast though. They don't dilly dally and waste your time. If you are going to dine in you need to go to the counter and put your name in. Food: Leo Camarillo- You can order with pastrami, roast beef or both. (Not half and half) Lots of cheese and sautéed mushrooms. If you're not a mushroom fan just skip. This is so delicious I have been thinking about it ever since we got it. My wife doesn't like mushrooms and she still ate with the shrooms on. We ordered pastrami only. No ragrats! French Dip- My kids ate both halves and didn't even hook it up with a bite! It was juicy and the dip was perfect. Always add the cheese. The Italian- Loved the Italian. It had a lot of meats on it and the veggies were fresh. Topped with an Italian dressing. Salads- Pesto salad was my favorite. Excellent flavor. No heartburn. Spaghetti salad was the sleeper. Very unsuspecting. I thought it was going to be cold spaghetti sauce but it was tomato's and Italian dressing/seasoning. Potato salad was ok. We added pepper and salt. We ordered 3 sandwiches for 4 people and came home with an untouched half because there was so much food. Bill was less than $60 for all the food and the soft drinks. Will definitely be a frequent haunt now.
