Carne asada and potatoes

Best place to get my carne asada meat and fish. We come here like every weekend to get our bbq meat and groceries

Tamal "de elote" mas masa que nada

This place used to be my favorite place to buy uchepos corn tamales I used to buy the dozen for $15 now I bought it today and now they are $16 per dozen and you can't even taste the corn because the masa over powers it!!! It's very sad because they're not natural anymore and they went up on price! I took a video of how I want even able to slice it in pieces but not able to post videos on here!!! Very disappointed! That's why people are so fat these days because they add things that they shouldn't! I won't be going back anymore!!!

a piece of cheese

I have never had a problem or a complaint about this place. We do some of our grocery shopping here all the time and we sometimes take some of their corn tamales home because they're so good. This weekend they didn't have the corn tamales so we took the chicken ones they had instead. When we got home and we were about to eat them I noticed some black spots and thought it was part of the dough but we took a closer look and realized the masa was covered in ants and I was disgusted.

3 flies found in the fish I bought

Great customer service! The smoked tritip sandwich comes with sautéed onion and bell peppers!!…read moreProbably the best tritip sandwich I've ever had!! Lots of sausage to select from and they even sell steaks and chicken too! So delicious with such a great selection of items!! I'll be back and will be bringing friends too!! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE!!

I stopped by Wolfsen's Meat and Sausage in Gustine and was immediately impressed by their…read moreselection. They have more varieties of sausage than I have ever seen. I picked up some chicken artichoke, a beer sausage, and a smoked maple. The smoked maple was outstanding and easily my favorite. The staff was friendly and welcoming from the moment I walked in. They greeted me right away and asked what I wanted to order, which I always appreciate. I also decided to try a brisket sandwich, which looked too good to pass up. The brisket itself was very good and full of flavor. That said, I am someone who pays close attention to food handling. I tend to notice when gloves are used as a substitute for proper hygiene rather than an added layer of protection. Unfortunately, that showed up here. The employee making my sandwich handled a large magic marker to write something, then immediately went back to preparing food without changing gloves. That is always disappointing to see. Because of that, I ended up eating more of the meat and less of the bread, but the quality of the brisket still stood out. I did take a picture of my brisket sandwich, but the picture did not do it justice, so I decided not to post it. Overall, there is a lot to like here, especially the incredible sausage selection and the friendly service. I would definitely come back to try the tri-tip sandwich. I just hope the magic maker disappears.

Came here. Fall in line. Order Hawaiian, pesto and Dakota sausages. Don't forget the beef jerky…read more Delish. Excellent service.

I came in to get some sausages today and ended up getting something for a couple other people also…read morebecause it's a treat to get sausages from here. They're amazing. The flavor is great. When you cook them it's amazing how lean they seem to be. There isn't any extra fat in the pan that usually comes from other sausages you cook from grocery stores. The taste even shows the quality of meat. I read in other reviews that people were treated poorly while here. That wasn't the case for me. The person who helped me was extremely pleasant and didn't get upset that I kept adding more and more items to what I wanted to buy. Something new I found out today is that they also make salami and even slice it for you for sandwiches. I purchased the garlic salami today and it is amazing. Sometimes a line can form outside so it's best to go early in the day as only 6 people are allowed in the store at a time. It's a very small area inside so it's understandable. The atmosphere reminds me of something from way back in the old school days. Well I supposed that's because of the building being so old anyways. The entire situation is an experience that's pretty cool. If you haven't been to Lockeford Sausages you really should take a trip out and get something. You can get sausages of course but also there is jerky, meat sticks, hot dogs, bacon and various other things like marinated tritip. If you've ever been to a local street fair around here and ate a big grilled sausage on a big roll and thought it was the best grilled sausage you've ever had, it most likely was a Lockeford sausage.

I've generally had positive experiences coming here. They are family-run, quality-first, and have a…read more"personal" feel that's rare in the Bay. They Sell: - American Lamb (Not Gamey, Delicious) - High-Quality Chicken (Mary's) - Homemade Sausages - Solid Pork/Beef (including Wagyu) - Game Meats, Veal, Seafood - Deli Items - Seasonal: Dry-Age Prime Rib, Heritage Turkey, etc. Over time, I've made a conciencous effort to get my proteins here. My rotation has usually been their chicken leg quarters, ribeyes, lamb rib chops, and pork steaks. Recently, I made tandoori lamb chops (my favorite dish) with their American lamb, and it was honestly one of the best versions I've ever made (photo attached). A few extra notes: * Go during the week if you can. It's less crowded and the experience is more personal -- you get to actually talk to the folks behind the counter. * The walkways are tight. Not their fault, just something to be aware of if you're on the taller or bigger side. * Hours can be tough for a 9-to-5. They're open Wednesday through Friday during the week and close at 5, so I've had a few near-misses trying to swing by after work. Weekends are open, but plan ahead. * Online pricing would be a nice add -- would help with planning. * Wishlist: Would love to see limited offerings of premium versions of other proteins -- Iberico or Berkshire pork, Mary's pasture-raised chicken, Ora King salmon, bluefin tuna. And spirits (bourbon, rum) would be a fun addition. Overall, a great business and a real value-add to the community. I'll keep coming back - highly recommend checking out!

The deli is fantastic, and the sandwiches rotate monthly and seasonally, and are big enough to share, and always hit the spot! The meat selection is always fantastic, and the wide array of sides and specials made by "Mom" are always interesting and hearty as well! The service is always friendly and usually pretty quick, and the atmosphere in the shop is also nice and friendly as well. If you are looking for a nice cut of meat or some flavorful proteins for your grill, this place is a must!
