    Courteous, speedy, and professional service. They were super helpful (one gentleman in particular, I forgot his name) We pulled up and pulled out with our 40lbs of corn beef with ease and much satisfaction. They went above and beyond with accommodating the fact that we didn't have cash. They gave us time to get cash and return with it to pay for our corn beef. They didn't have to do this but they did and it meant the world. Im definitely coming back!

    Inside, behind those walls, is where all the magic happens lol. I should've bought me shirt before I left.

    As a child, I am remember the Samoans referring to this place as "the meat place on Bryant Street." If you live anywhere outside of San Francisco, and relatives from here bring you a case of brisket, they will ask "is this the Frisco brisket?" LOL As an adult I appreciate this place even more! They have the best quality briskets! Opened Monday's thru Fridays. Cash only. Sometimes they open on Saturdays. You have to call ahead or email the company to confirm. Great customer service from hard working people! Thank you Greg and company! We will definitely be back again!

    Decided to get some corned beef here when I started in the area. I always liked corned beef and it was great that a company was making it locally. And I wanted to taste the non warehouse difference. So I came here and part of the non warehouse difference was these suckers were big. Not the smaller packs that one would find at grocery stores. The price was actually a little higher too, but the meats were leaner too. In the end after cooking, the meats taste about the same.

    This place has weird hours, but has some very interesting meats and employees Most recently, I got a pastrami (naval/plate cut) for about $7/lb, which is apparently very hard to find. Pretty delicious and marbled with fat. You can either cut thin or steam at medium heat for 90 minutes then thick cut. I'm excited to come back and try the corned beef bottom round, bangars, coppa, and all other goodies.

    They wrap every piece individually for you in butcher paper, even though the corned beefs are vacuum packed,

    We make our trip to Robert's Corned Meats once every year, the week, or days before St. Patrick's day. I personally don't celebrate St. Patrick's day, but our annual trip has become quite a tradition for my colleague and me! Holidays aside, Robert's has the best corned beef, in my opinion, so every year brings us back for more. We work in Oakland, so it's a quick hop onto the Bay Bridge to get our briskets and/or rounds, then back to work in Oakland, all within an hour!! They don't accept credit or debit cards, so come prepared to pay with cash or check. This place has been in business for so many years, its no wonder they're so good at what they do!! It's nice that they give baggies of extra corning spices to add to the water when cooking your delicious slab 'o meat. Great historic business, very nice people work there, and check out the very old cash register that is still in use.

    I decided to give this place a try because it was recommended to me. The corn beef came out a bit salty but I guess the cabbage helps balance out the saltiness. I had 1.5lbs of the brisket and the fat to lean meat proportion was just right. Would definitely come back for the corn beef and would also like to try their other meats!

    Got a beautiful 8.5 Robert's Corned Beef Center Cut Brisket from Lunardi's in Danville, Ca. So amazing!!! We have been buying Robert's for as long as I can remember. Such an amazing corned beef. You really can't go wrong with this! Not too fatty but just enough fat to make it perfect. Salty like corned beef is supposed to be, but not too much! We took our big slab, cut it in half and simmered for 3 hours with about 2 TB of pickling spices (1 TB in each pot). Then, we put it in the oven at 300 after brushing on a paste made of 1/3 part brown sugar and 2/3 spicy mustard (Robert's recipe). Turned out PERFECT! Here's a pic of the cut prior to cooking!

    This is the best corned beef on the planet! I won't shop anywhere else and frequently buy it to take to events in other cities.

    I have been trying to support this place for years. I've lived in the neighborhood for 7 years,…read moreI've bought meat at this location since before this current owner took over the lease from the Fatted calf. But I'm going to warn you against shopping here. 1) I have bought spoiled chicken from here. 2) I have bought various bad cuts of beef that not only fail to justify the premium price but aren't even as good as grocery store meats. 3) Most disturbingly, the sticker price and what they actually charge you is different. I have caught them multiple times so now I know they do this intentionally. 4) Also disturbing, the items on your receipt won't even match the items you buy. I don't know what accounting tricks they are playing but I'm done shopping here. I'm not saying all my shopping experiences are bad. But these bad ones make it not worth it to try again.

    There's no better place to get a sandwich than a meat shop. That's what separates San Francisco…read moreMeat Co. You can get a fresh slab of meat or a fresh sandwich loaded with deli meat. I've been here twice now and both visits have been satisfying. At this point I can recommend the Reuben and the Ham & Cheese on the sweet roll. Both sandwiches come loaded with meat and toppings. The bread is toasty and warm when served. Most importantly, everything in the sandwich taste fresh. I think I found my go to sandwich spot near work. Price is similar to most sandwich spots in the area. It's San Francisco so expect around $15-$20 for the sandwich. Luckily both times I've been here I didn't need to wait in line for anything. Service is efficient and the workers are friendly. I will be back for another sandwich!
