4.5 stars rounded up. If you like smoked meats, give Handy's Smoke House Meats a try!…read more I've been to Nothing Bundt Cakes right by this spot and never realized it was here for the longest time! Handy's is unassuming and easy to miss. It's to-go only, and they offer smoked meats and also sandwiches. Some of the things I've tried which I really like include the smoked chicken wings, and the albacore and salmon spreads. The ones I've tried from other places are usually smooth and easily spreadable, but Handy's is more chunky with noticeable bits of fish in it, so it's unique to me. I also like their mini sweet potato pie, which I believe is seasonal. The one thing I didn't care too much for was the tri-tip. I don't know if it was just an off-day but I wasn't a big fan of the flavor. I do want to come back to try some other things though, like their brisket! The people here are very friendly, and they'll go over the menu/items with you if you ask!

The chicken was amazing. I could honestly just munch on it all night without anything else. This place is a bit pricey (asada was $20 a pound), but you do get what you pay for. Overall, a great spot for getting meat if you're in the neighborhood.

I got the $15 Italian with everything and it was loaded with fresh veggies, Boar's Head meats and cheese, mayo, mustard, etc. Previously I've gotten sliced meat by the pound as well. Staff is helpful and if you aren't sure what cut you want to buy on the raw meats...just ask! The customer behind me said his Dad wanted pork chops to smoke on the Traeger. They helped him pick the right cut & optional if you want it seasoned or as is. There's a few potatoes, onions, and seasoning in the shelves. A great one stop shop option! (The Char crust brand is great.)

We are always so impressed with The Meat Company! The quality of their meat is truly superior --…read moreeverything we've purchased has been incredibly fresh and absolutely delicious. I can honestly say I've never been disappointed. One of our favorite purchases was a prime rib we pre-ordered for Christmas dinner. It was mouthwatering and perfectly seasoned, and it came beautifully wrapped and ready to go. All I had to do was pop it in the oven, which made hosting so much easier. Being able to pre-order prime rib and other cuts for holiday meals or dinner gatherings is such a huge convenience. Another one of our absolute favorites is their burgers. They are so delicious and beautifully mixed with a prime selection of meats -- you can truly taste the quality in every bite. They are always juicy, flavorful, and perfect for grilling. They also make deli sandwiches that are so good and full of flavor! Everything is made with care, and you can really tell they take pride in what they offer. On top of all that, their customer service is outstanding. The staff is always friendly, fast, and extremely helpful. They truly go above and beyond to make sure you have everything you need. Highly recommend to anyone looking for high-quality meat, incredible prepared foods, and exceptional service!

I have been *quite* delinquent at keeping up with converting review drafts to actual reviews - but…read moreI feel especially bad seeing this one un-posted still, given it was just in the local news last week, they're putting their popup on temporary-but-indefinite pause because it wasn't getting enough business... hopefully they do reopen, ideally in a proper space, because their bbq is *great*. I hadn't ever been to their now-closed official popup location, but after having heard how great they were for the previous year, I finally had a chance to try them over the summer, at the Beachwood anniversary event. I loved that I was able to buy meat in quarter-pound increments, so I could try two of my favorite bbq meats, brisket and pulled pork. The pulled pork was great; the brisket was probably the best brisket I've had from a bbq place in Long Beach (it's still not Franklin, but *nothing* is Franklin). I also tried their mac & cheese - they only had one size, for $8, but that size was *large*. The mac & cheese was also great. Seriously friendly people, too, so I really hope they succeed in their quest for a brick-and-mortar spot. (And that the quality is as good once they do, both so I don't have to give them a worse review later, and because I would like to have that brisket again! And because they're great people and they deserve to succeed, of course.)

But I believe after they switched owners there was a noticeable difference. I have still been going there, but I may have to change up. Just paid a pretty penny for 3-4 lbs. of meat for a small gathering, and no one was overly impressed. Cashier (owner?) appeared to be an Indian guy who was not very friendly. Not sure if I will keep giving them my hard-earned money. Salsa is good - but of course overpriced. Disappointed.

Quality-meat market with beautifully marbled beef where the hefty price tag is fully justified…read more Anyone working the counter that I've met is knowledgeable, friendly, and quick. Instead of upselling, it's the kind of top-tier, no-bullshit customer service where they WANT to help you find the perfect cut of meat for your needs. The past couple of times i've been here, they've offered me free rice paper to take home. Love coming here for special occasions! A savory treat for the palette indeed ~

TL;DR - very friendly service, slightly pricey, wide delicious selection…read more I went in here for the first time earlier this week. It's a small store and you can literally look at everything they have within 5 minutes, but everything is well organized. They have a wide range of meats including dry aged steaks! That was a big surprise to me. They also have a good selection of banchans but if you're expecting a selection comparable to H-mart, then just go to H-mart. Note: they don't sell rice paper because they give it to you for free with your purchase. They even have selections including pork cheek and duck as well. So despite the small size of this business, they have essentially everything you'd want for korean bbq. I'll be returning next time to try their dry aged cuts! Lastly, the most memorable thing about this visit was the lady who helped me (I think she may have been the owner?). I didn't feel pressured to buy anything or rushed at all. Whenever I walk into a small store with only me or another customer, I often feel uncomfortable to buy or get out, but not here. Other than that, the only thing I'd mention is the pricing of their meat and sides. It's a little pricier than you'd expect, but for supporting a small business and getting quality meats, it's no big deal at all.
