BEEF BONES FOR DOG *** Solid butcher shop! Everyone here was super friendly and willing to help…read more We came all the way from Rancho Cucamonga to Chino specifically looking for beef knuckle bones for our pup. After calling multiple butcher shops, this was the only place I found that actually carried them. We ended up getting a whole beef femur bone for only $13, which was an amazing price. Can't wait to give it to our dog, and we'll definitely be back for more. If you're a dog owner like us, that's another reason to check this place out. I believe the girl I spoke with over the phone also mentioned that they offer both raw and smoked beef knuckle bones for dogs. She even cut the bones the way we wanted it Great service, great prices, and definitely worth the drive for us.

Now walk around and shop the amazing selection from their butcher cases, ample deli case, or peruse the seemingly endless varieties of sausage and game cuts in the freezers. The staff here are super friendly and great and helping first time customers. They're all willing to find the answer to your question even if they don't know themselves. Butchers are onsite for custom processing and speciality cuts. Really charming bit of old chino, hoping they stick around for decades to come. They do all my custom animal-share processing and do a great job, looking forward to another perfect Christmas ham.

I've eaten here several times over the years, and it's a unique place to get a steak, or even just…read morea burger or a salad. First, I would avoid coming here during the usual busy dinner rush times. The ambiance is very casual, unpretentious, open seating. So when it's busy, it's loud. When it's busy, the servers are juggling multiple fully booked out tables. So if you're the impatient type, don't bother. Every time I've interacted with the staff, they've been as friendly and as accommodating as possible, for the volume of people that come here. It's just that popular. I'd rather come for a lazy lunch or afternoon meal if you're one of those people that need exceptional service and undying attention. The ingredients are pretty much high end. If you're familiar with the difference between dry-aged angus beef, wagyu raised in the US, or Australia, or New Zealand, or straight from Japan, you'll realize Meat Cellar offers the best cuts of beef around in Inland Empire. Very much the kind of quality you can find at Cut, Matu, Alexander's, Mastro's, etc. Except you don't to drive out through ass-fuck LA traffic, pay $20 valet parking, dress-up, etc. You could pretty much show up in pajama bottoms and a Sponge Bob T-shirt, and they'll serve and treat you like a fellow human being. Interestingly, whereas a lot of people would drive to LA or Beverly Hills to eat a prestigious steak house, it's also the opposite here, where people are driving from Orange County or Santa Clarita to eat here specifically as regulars. On the "lower" priced end, their fried chicken and fancy burger are pretty solid options to order. I also like getting their steak-frites with wagyu blade upgrade, the wagyu picanha, and the dry-aged ribeye. The cuts of beef itself does distinct itself in flavor by how much marbling to beef there is, and certainly dry-aged has a certain lovely, umami, earthy, nutty character to it. Personally, they're all good on their own with just salt - there are an array of sauce add-ons you can get. I can do without the salmon or the filet mignon, but then again, my palate is on team fatty savory flavor. Their sides are doable, though they tend to be all sharing portions. Fries are decent too, cooked in tallow fat. So keep that in mind, you might not like the texture and aroma of fries cooked in animal fat if you're used to eating trans-fatty vegetable oils your whole life.

Stellar service, exceptional burger and such a 10/10 dining experience there! So happy we chose…read moreMeat cellar to celebrate a birthday with good food- especially the burger & the steak platter.

First, I arrived shortly after they opened on a Tuesday, which is important to highlight because they're closed on Mondays, and I suspect one dish I tried had the texture of leftovers (from the weekend). Part of me wants to try again later in the week, and day to see if this was a fluke. What I ordered was a rice bowl with braised pork belly and daily vegetables. Everything was good except the pork was dry and tough, clearly not braised that day or heated all the way through. I forget what my first choice was, but it wasn't available that day. My other item was the wonton soup, which also disappointed me for a few reasons. Portion size is good, but the broth tasted really thin, watery, and the wontons were overcooked and falling apart. The cause was they were forgotten about and the pot boiled over. Generally, you cook these below the boil to prevent the cloudy mess from disintegrating skins. The filling tasted fine, but again, overall flavors and balance was marred. I did, however, enjoy the lenon tea that comes with every combination meal. And, the employees are very nice, but the food didn't make the cut. They have a big menu and I've seen the skewers and hot pots in action so I know there's potential.

My wife and I were on a Costco run, and decided to stop by and have lunch at the "somewhat"…read morerelocated Tip Top (where the fish market used to be). First impression - damn, what a menu! Stretches across most of the store, just tons of options. Second impression - they are WAY understaffed for the lunch crowd that they get (this is a pretty common issue these days, unfortunately). Third impression - outdoor seating only - so this is definitely not a rainy day place to go. Final impression - TIGHT parking lot....I would not want to take a larger car or truck into this lot. After waiting in a single file line for about 10 minutes, we finally got to the front, where the staff takes orders the old-fashioned way - put it on a ticket and clip it onto a ticket wheel for the kitchen. Everything is made from scratch, so we knew that after we placed our order for a bacon cheeseburger combo and french dip, we were going to be waiting a while. And yep, about 20 minutes later, my name was called, and I picked up our orders. My wife's french dip, she proclaimed, was simply awesome. The fries are done in house (note, with zero salt, so you'll want to ask for some when you pick up your food), and are definitely tasty. My bacon cheeseburger was HUGE. Half a pound of meat, then piled high with bacon. Side note - multiple options on the cheese (I chose swiss) and they use real cheese - a definite plus. The burger was just too big - too tall, too much - my only recommendation to this awesome place is lower the size so that you can actually take a bite. A nit, I know, but still.... Gotta recommend, we'll hit it again, but will try to hit it after 2pm...seemed to slow down a bit about that time.

Breakfast was spot on. Great service. Wish I could bring half store back to AZ…read more Great spot.
