There might even be a private room you can host your friends to watch games. - looks like they have a great selection of brewskis and booze. I did not partake. - The food, to add was for takeout. I had the ribs and tri tip. Everything sold by half Lbs. I'm use to half rack or full kind of portions but no big deal. My ribs were dry and I suspect it's because it was just sitting in the locker. (I went around 1:30p). I can imagine it would be tasty if fresh, the seasoning looks on point. I had the beans side and that was very good! - service was on point! Everyone seems cool. No complaints. Overall, when you add price and the quality. Unsure if I'll go back. But if you do make sure you go closer to lunch to get freshest meats. I have no doubt the ribs and tri tip would be better then.

Exterior: There are a couple tables outside of the restaurant for outdoor dining. Interior: The interior is also quite small but clean. There are two or three tables for parties of 4 and two bigger tables with stools for slightly bigger groups. Service: The staff is extremely friendly and the food came out pretty quickly. There are condiments on the side that you can help yourself to. Food: I usually get the bbq 2 meat combo platter. It comes with a variety of choices for the meats and sides. I have tried the brisket and ribs for the meats and fried okra, tangy coldslaw, cornbread, and mac and cheese for the sides. The meats were always super tender and juicy. The sides are delicious. I would 100% recommend getting the cornbread. It has little bits of pear or apple in it and was super moist. The portions are pretty big so I would recommend getting the single meat combo if you do not wish to be in a food coma afterwards.

I thought I had written a review for this place the first time I was here, but it looks like I had…read moremissed. Now second time coming for lunch. The food is consistently good and very tasteful. Favorite side is the french fries. Super simple but one of the best I've had. Super crispy and thin. The meats are done perfect. Love the chicken.

Will continue to come back and recommend you do as well!

The beef quality was easily the highlight, and the beautifully presented plates made the whole experience feel extra special. For the quality you're getting, the prices are very reasonable. The service deserves some love, too. The staff were polite, welcoming, and knowledgeable, taking the time to explain the menu and answer all our questions. One detail I really appreciated was how clean the restaurant felt. Even with tabletop grilling, the floors weren't sticky or slippery at all. It's a small thing that makes a big difference in how comfortable the experience feels. There's also plenty of parking, so finding a spot was easy. Come prepared for a wait, bring your appetite, and give yourself time to enjoy it. Definitely a place I'd come back to!

This store is similar to the SB store as how clean it is and how much variety of proteins that you can try. They crazy item I found was a bag of frozen chicken hearts. HA! I like how they have a variety of beef, steaks, chicken, turkey, seafood, pork, and ground meat. Make me want to learn to cook more foods! They also carry exotic meats such as wild boar, kangaroo, yak, bison, duck, alligator, ostrich, quail, and one thing I found most interesting was rabbit and pork sausage mixture. One day I will try these exotic flavors. Moving on to dessert, I got their cheesecake, mini beigneits with mixed berries, and lava cakes. All quite good and easy to prepare for a quick party or small gathering.

Sections Fine Meats is hands-down the best butcher in Orange County! Their selection, quality, and customer service are unmatched, and Omar is truly incredible to work with. What sets this place apart is their ability to process wild game--a rare find in Southern California. Omar and his team do an exceptional job with my wild pigs, turning them into perfectly seasoned sausage, ground pork, and beautifully prepped tenderloins, all vacuum-packed for long-term freezing. The hot Italian and jalapeño cheddar sausages are absolutely delicious--packed with flavor and perfect for grilling. If you're looking for top-quality meats, expert craftsmanship, and a butcher who genuinely cares, look no further than Sections Fine Meats. Whether it's specialty cuts, wild game processing, or just the best sausages in town, this is the place to go. Highly recommend! read more

I recently discovered this place and it has quickly become a favorite of mine. The meat quality is outstanding, better than anything I've ever had from a butcher. Everything is fresh and trimmed perfectly with no excess fat. Yes, it's a little pricey, but it's absolutely worth it. They also have a small market inside with homemade items that are just as good. The garlic and butter spread is perfect for cooking, and the lemon pepper chicken and ground beef are both amazingly flavorful. The fillet in particular is trimmed beautifully with zero fat. One tip: if you're going on the weekend, get there right when they open. Even at opening time, there was already a line forming outside, so plan ahead. Overall, this place is fantastic and I highly recommend it. read more

So i came here today with my children to buy meat. The service inside was great by the staff. The reason i am leaving a bad review is because as I was leaving I stopped to take a picture and the owner of the place, a white male with Dodger hat came running outside accusing me of "being sneaky and taking pictures." He was very accusatory, offensive, and frankly appeared strangely paranoid. I was taking a picture to leave a positive review but after this experience I am never coming back. To act that way in front of my children and making me out to be a criminal of some sort is unacceptable. Especially after i gave business to the store. I dont recommend this place. The meat we made was mediocre. Also dont take pictures lest you trigger the paranoid owner. read more

Short: Stopped by for a quick bite, and left really impressed. Sandwhiches are full of flavor and freshly sliced meat that really stands out. Long: I was pleasantly surprised when I stopped in to find that this place serves sandwhiches! Sections Fine Meats features a small sandwhich menu that packs a ton of flavor. I tried the italian sandwich and the sliced meat was top quality! Along with the sandwhich menu the shop also features a full selection of meats and cuts, as well as a fair share of local / gourmet grocery items. The service was fast and friendly and had my sandwhich out in no time. FYl inside the shop there is a small bar seating area. read more

I ordered the turkey bacon cold sandwich and requested that on grilled sourdough. Guys...amazing! This sandwich tasted so fresh and the flavors all paired so well. It was a decent size too, I literally had to smash it down a bit to get a bite in. Definitely coming back here to try some of their other sandwiches and most likely the breakfast burrito.
