*this review is from a DoorDash order*…read more Ordered three sandwiches for my family and I! We got the magic trip tip, the sleeper, and the Bruno. All sandwiches were about 7inches. The tri tip was definitely the best of the bunch! A good amount of meat and was flavorful/warm. Unfortunately, the other two sandwiches were very disappointing. Both came out super tough/hard bread (we got sourdough). It was towards the end of the day, so that could have been the reason. The other issue was that my sandwich, the Bruno was supposed to come with salami, but it didn't come with any. Would try again, but go in store this time to make sure everything is made correctly.

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.

Sure, maybe BBQ isn't the first type of food you think of for a wedding but after we ate, all people talked about was how amazing the food was. We did our post-dinner rounds and *every* table complimented the food. I absolutely loved the potato salad, the coleslaw had a kick, brisket was melt in your mouth, and I saw a friend almost lick his plate clean from the ribs I actually called him out about it! Mark was also easy to work with and extremely flexible. Highly recommend Love & Smoke for your event - you will not regret it.

Sometimes you discover new foods and other times, you can be amazed by how expensive or inexpensive something can be.

After lunch today, my wife walked into Istanbul Market next door and came out with three desserts. Unfortunately, we failed to write down the names and descriptions of what we got. Just three yummy looking morsels. We know one was Baklava. One was Turkish Delight. We're not sure what the third one was.

Corn Skewers (3/5): A bit of a letdown. Heavily over-seasoned to the point where the natural sweetness of the corn was completely lost. Definitely worth a visit for the seafood and curry--we'll be back, but will likely skip the corn next time.

I liked the food, but it took several incremental orders to feel full. Food: 4 Service: 3 Value: 3 Atmosphere: 2 Food: I had the Gyu Don rice bowl as well as several of the yakitori skewers: Gyu Hire (ribeye skewer), Kurobuta Sausage, Negima (chicken with green onion), and Kamo (duck breast). The rice bowl had good flavor and was reasonably filling, while most of the yakitori items were excellent when fresh. Service: Service was overall very fast, though not very engaging. You primarily order via a QR code on the table then the food comes out quickly. It reminds me a bit of an airport. Value: The rice bowl was filling, but I was a little disappointed with the skewers. Each skewer had 3-4 small pieces on it. And while tasty, they weren't very large. The sausage and chicken were $3-4 each, but the ribeye was close to $6 for a couple small pieces. Atmosphere: The restaurant has several small tables and was pretty empty when I got there. Things were fast, but it wasn't much of a place to hang out. Again, it had a bit of airport vibes.

We made reservations for 7 pm for a Saturday night, checked in at 6:45 pm and were immediately seated. Service is exceptional and the meats came in soon as I put the green bar on the table. Compared to other Brazilian steak places I've been to including the ones in Rio De Janeiro, Espetus is up there. Meats were good.. some more flavorful than others. The one i especially liked was the pork belly so recommend you try it. All the other beef's can sometimes be hard to recall when you get so many on the plate. Soda was about $5.50 for a small bottle so not worth getting. Overall, great experience. My wife enjoyed sharing photos to her insta from here.

It also had lasagna roll, French firs, fried banana, polenta etc. There were not a lot of meats going around. We had the top sirloin and pineapple a lot but did have to ask for other items. Lunch ended and we did not see much other meats. They brought out chicken wings that we asked for a Parmesan pork. We also saw chicken hearts but that's about it and did not get to try the other meats. The employees were nice and friendly so it's only 3 stars for the meats as sometimes the table was skipped or items just stayed in the back. I have been there many times in both San Francisco and San Mateo for at least 14 years. The ambiance was nice and I lights the lights. The bathroom toilets were mostly dirty and clogged though.
