Armando and Sons butcher shop has some amazing food! My husband and I got lunch today, and had a…read moregreat experience. I had the huntsman chili, he had the classic burger. We will most definitely be back. The burger in particular was what impressed us both. The quality of the meat was impeccable, delicious flavor, with a nice crispy sear. He let me sneak a bite, and the patty just melts in your mouth. I have no complaints or changes I would make to the burger. The service was so friendly and fast! They were very helpful in choosing what to order! The bison comes from their ranch in Wyoming, the owners brother runs the ranch! The elk comes from a group of family farms they have been doing business with for over 40 years in New Zealand. (Wow!) And the in house ground beef is mostly Niman ranch and Creekstone farms. I don't think you will find a better burger in Reno! We sat inside on their bar stool seating, but there's lots of other seating available outside! The inside has a very modern and elegant feel! Regrettably I ate the food way too fast, so I did not get any pictures!! But I will be back with updates.

I ordered a BBQ burger at the counter and added an extra patty as well as some chicken tenders and fries for the kids. Service was quick and friendly. I've never had an issue with Armando's service! Truly- the quality of the food here can't be beat. Freshly ground meat, selection between beef, elk, and bison, and high-quality ingredients all the way down to the produce. Sometimes a thick, juicy burger is just what you want. You won't find a puny smashed patty here. Only delicious, perfectly cooked, thick patties. The extra $6 to make it a double is totally worth it. I was even impressed by the fries! Super crispy and well seasoned. The chicken tenders were not overcooked, as you find at many places. The chicken was still very moist while maintaining a crispy exterior. Great choice for your butchery needs, but also a great place to grab some very tasty lunch!

I always have to get ground beef from them. Trust me first burger, meatball, taco, or whatever you decide to make, right away you will taste how much better quality the meat is. 2. Now if you're like me and you like to treat yourself every now and then. The ribeyes and New York steaks are great! Now if you really want to treat yourself you have to buy a tomahawk steak! It's so good that I bbq burgers for my daughters bday and after that 3 family members started buying meat. 3. They deliver meat to you, if you're feeling lazy, or you can pick it up. Trust me. Go buy meat from Ardis cattle co. Also who doesn't like supporting a local business and family run business.

We decide to take a quick break and stop at Bridgeport. With our luck, both businesses found on Yelp were located on the same parking lot. Albert's Meat Market & Deli: From Today's Special menu, we ordered Roast Beef & Brie panini with grilled onions on rye which definitely hit the spot! Aside from the sandwiches, they also sell local eggs, ready to cook meat from rib eyes, ground elk and/or beef, sausages, jerky etc. The sandwich itself was well thought through beginning with the grilled onions and melted Brie cheese- just delicious! Overall service was top-notch! If your fur baby is lucky, they may get a little treat from the owner. Note to self: Bring a cooler! Jolly Kone (see Yelp page for review)

No trip to Gold Country is complete without a stop at Swingle Meat!…read more As mentioned in my previous review, groceries, especially meat prices are super high in the Bay Area, so whenever I have a chance to get some good deals on meat, I'm going to make every trip here worth it. On this trip I picked up some frozen ribeyes, sirloins, burgers, breakfast sausage patties, cheddar jalapeno sausages, and some chile verde and ranch house chicken. The chicken items I got come vacuum sealed, which is perfect when I plan to sous vide them. The things I wish I got more of was their honey pepper beef sticks and hot teriyaki beef jerky. It's very affordable and perfect for snacks. Another low key thing that we like are their frozen chicken wellingtons. super easy to bake at home and it's a tasty meal. I arrived in the morning and luckily it wasn't super busy. Grabbed a basket and before I knew it I had enough meats and snacks to feed a large family when in reality, it's just for a couple of us. $153 well spent and meals for days. The prices for the tri-tips have more than doubled since 2020, but honestly, still a great deal considering the size. $35-40 for a good sized marinated tri-tip is still a steal of a price. The mother lode tri tip is a can't miss and a fan favorite at any of our family bbqs. Definitely plan to bring a cooler and some ice packs so you can keep your meats stored properly in route to back home.

Absolutely nothing wrong with that... it just wasn't what I was looking for. We did buy some frozen steaks. I found the prices to be reasonable but not worth going out of the way for (it's about 40 miles away from where we live). Regarding the quality of the steaks, we didn't find them to be better than what we normally purchase.
