I would give these peeps 5+, except for one thing, they're tough to give money to! Let me explain... we live about 90 miles from S&S, which used to be "J&R Natural Meat and Sausage." Whenever we've historically been in (Paso) town, we try to stock up on their cheddar-jalapeno pork sausage. Folks, the sausage is just fantastic after cooked over an open flame/coal fire. We also relied heavily on J&R Natural Meat and Sausage customer service to resupply us via overnight mail. We did these methods of resupply for years and never had a problem. Then Sinton & Sons took over. We ran out of our supply of cheddar-jalapeno sausage, and I called S&S up. I was assured that the same recipe was being performed for the sausage and that mail order would continue to NOT be an issue under the new ownership. I ordered a small batch of about 5-6 packets, just in case quality had dropped. Days went by and I saw my payment method had not been charged... I called back. Whoops, sorry, we found the order request, it will be handled ASAP I was told. Days pass, no charge. Another call. Whoops! We're NOW out of shipping boxes! We've got the order, and as soon as the boxes come, it will go out ASAP! Days pass, no charge, no box of sausages. Luck would have it we needed to make a trip to Paso anyway, so off to S&S Wifey and I went. Ambiance: I was a little worried when I saw the "J&R Natural Meat and Sausage" was still up outside, and a temporary banner for Sinton & Sons was above the door..... we went inside and found stocked meat cabinets, although a few less choices than before when it was J&R's. But then we found our go-to cheddar-jalapeno and bought some to-go. I've subsequently cooked a couple of them up and the good news is that the sausage is still on-point! We bought a fabulous tri-tip as well, and all the supplies from S&S cooked up nicely and tasted great! I'm hopeful they'll square away their over the phone/remote customer service corrected so we can give them money for more good stuff soon! read more

Good selection of meats. Bought one of the best ribeyes I've had in a long time. Great staff too

I walked in and asked about a prime rib and went over numbers with the guy at the counter. He did some rough math and told me that 4-5 bones would be like 7-8 pounds and would come out to roughly $160. (That should have been a red flag since $20 a pound is a bit of a steal) It came out to $305 at $29.99 a pound. Of course I agreed to it and took it home because they had cut it and prepared it for me so I didn't want to be rude, but after some reflection, $29.99 a pound for choice is fairly outrageous. The roast came out pretty decent but was not amazing. I cooked it to 130 internal and in resting it came up to 138 internal. Was a nice medium rare to medium, but for the price it was very disappointing. We called a butcher in AG and he agreed that the price was insane. I guess he has 50 day dry aged at $32 a pound and $23 a pound for regular choice. They have good stuff, but they are a small business so they need to make their money. Meat is good, but value is questionable at best. Beware. No complaint other than value. read more

Sinton & Sons - Butcher Near Me - Paso Robles, California

Last year Sinton and sons messed up my order (they processed a pig for me) including (amongst other problems) sending the meat to the wrong address twice to spoil (after they processed the meat incorrectly to begin with). Now, a year later, I get an email from them that they had retained some of my meat in a freezer for over a year and have now processed it into bacon and want me to pay the processing fee and pick up the bacon. NEVER did they mention a year ago that they were retaining some of my meat do this purpose). I would have told them not to. I have already shot another pig and had that processed elsewhere (much better quality and actual service). This place is a complete joke and I have heard from other hunters as well that they have experienced nothing but problems with Sinton and Sons. Total lack of communication and quite frankly it appears their business is run by people who have absolutely no idea what customer service is. read more

We want to heartily recommend this local business. We tried a few things and they are outstanding in flavor and texture; you can really tell the difference in the way these animals have been raised and processed. The family places a high value on regenerative, humane and sustainable practices. And it was without a doubt one of the best steaks either one of us has ever had. I hope they do really well, and I think they will be a real boon to the local economy and food culture that is so special here in SLO county. read more
