Pops Butcher & Deli meat counter and sandwiches. Pic of the owners Hector & Candice Garcia.

This is a brand new family owned and operated butcher shop. 3rd generation in the business. It just so happens that it is also owned by my brother and his wife, Hector and Candice Garcia. This is a butcher shop and Deli with high quality meats and exceptional service. All are welcome, truly. Sandwiches are my fav! Can't get enough - I recommend the chipotle Mayo on just about anything! Go in and check them out.

Great sign, my kind of place!!!!

I love their customer service. We are able to get specific cuts or requests very quickly. The quality of their meats is also really good. You pay a little more but sometimes it's worth it for special occasions or unique recipes!

Many great items to choose from. Brisket burgers, beer brats and tomahawks. Sandwiches are on point with Boars Head meat and cheeses!

Excellent service, very friendly. All the meat anyone could ever want. Right off 10th street west.

I don't care what your political beliefs are but when you shove them in my face on your front door telling me my business is not needed, well okay. I will shop elsewhere for my meat. On a side note, I also want to point out that several workers in this butcher shop do not wear gloves when handling the meat. I have watched one lady go from customer to customer, package their purchase without washing hands between orders and not wear gloves. Also they do not wear masks when working with the meat, so they are breathing all over your meat. Additionally, the quality of their meat has gone down while the prices have gone up. My family will no longer be shopping at Ben's.

Just what the AV needs. An actual butcher shop. Reasonable prices. And the deli is great. Slicing fresh meats and cheese for sandwiches.

Loved this place and the fact they stood up to the Karen's in the AV. Sad to see the Democratic liberal trash mess everything up in the AV.

Ask the Community - Pops Butcher Block & Deli

Does this business sell standing ribeye roast (for prime rib) outside of the holidays like after Christmas? Would you be able to cut the bone off and then tie it back on?

Do you sell boneless NY strip steaks? I admit that ribeyes and ny strips are my favorite cuts. What about pork belly?

Hello, We do have the boneless NY's & ribeye's in stock at all times. I would recommend to call ahead 661-948-4745 for the pork belly because we do sell out.

Are they out of business?

It's been 3 weeks or so since I been there. I'm not shure. Supper nice people thow.

Anyone know if they will reopen/possible different location? Never got a chance to speak with Jim (owner) to find out what was going on. Had no idea they were closing.

Hello, Butcher Block is now open under new ownership. We are located on 10th & Ave M in Lancaster

So for those of you posting 1 star reviews because of their political ideology, what does that have to do with their service, quality of meats, prices, cleanliness and overall offerings? That's what I use Yelp for; to see if I want to shop there.

Their political views have nothing whatsoever to do with service, quality, etc. However, the owner told half his customers (Biden supporters) to do business elsewhere. They complied: there's not a single Biden supporter coming through his doors… Read more

Are the making sandwiches again?

No! They are still not making sandwiches as of 3/7/22. Such a bummer! I've stopped by 3x in the past 2 years and every time, there's a sign in the window stating: "no sandwiches." I'm heartbroken!!

Do you guys sell ribs?

Yes both pork and beef

Do they have pastured raised pork? In regards to the grassfed beef what options are available?

I have pretty much been able to order anything I need from them. I would give them a call and see if you can order it. I have never had anything but the best from Bens.

Looking for grass fed meat/organic?

They have that

Do they sell sausage casing?

Awesome service !!l they have the best meat in the whole Antelope valley . Juliana was the bestread more

Dear Gonzalez Meat Market Management,…read more I am writing to formally bring to your attention a concerning experience I had at your Lancaster, California location. My intent is to make you aware of several issues related to both food safety practices and customer service, as these are matters that directly impact public health and customer trust. First, I observed what appeared to be serious health code violations. During my visit, a staff member handled raw meat and then proceeded to touch other surfaces without properly washing or sanitizing their hands. Specifically: - Raw meat was transported from a neighboring location and handled in a way that created a risk of cross-contamination. - The individual handling the raw meat also handled the exterior of the bag, which can transfer bacteria. - Afterward, the same staff member touched cash from the register, soda cans, and prepared food items without changing gloves or washing hands. This sequence of actions raises concerns about cross-contamination and food safety, especially since customers directly consume these items. Secondly, I would like to address the customer service experience. At the time of my visit, there appeared to be insufficient staffing, with only one chef and one cashier managing a high volume of customers. As a result: - There were approximately 20 customers waiting, and service was significantly delayed (around 20 minutes or more). - Several customers ahead of me were still waiting when a customer who ordered after me received her food first, despite placing a larger order. - My order was simple (four carne asada tacos and Mexican rice), yet it took longer than expected without clear communication. Additionally, I was informed that the grill was down, which contributed to the delay. While I understand that unexpected issues can occur, this was not communicated proactively, and there was no effort made to accommodate or compensate for the inconvenience. I had requested grilled onions and grilled jalapeños, and given the delay and circumstances, it would have been a considerate gesture to provide these at no additional cost. Instead, I was charged and met with an unprofessional attitude when I raised concerns. Overall, the combination of potential health code violations and poor customer service created an experience that was both disappointing and concerning. I hope you take this feedback seriously and implement corrective measures to ensure proper food handling procedures and improved customer service moving forward. This place has strong potential, but a few operational improvements would really elevate the customer experience. During busy hours, more staffing and a clearer order system would help reduce long waits and ensure customers are served in the correct order. I'd also recommend reinforcing basic food safety practices like preventing cross-contamination between raw meat handling, cash handling, and food prep, as well as keeping the grill consistently running during service hours to avoid delays. Lastly, when delays happen, small gestures like complimentary items or waiving small add-ons can go a long way in maintaining customer satisfaction and loyalty. Sincerely, B. Orona Blackshire
