I learned to check the website for current availability and prices before getting too excited about a particular cut or item, as they sell out of some items very quickly. Also, to avoid any sticker shock of higher-priced meats (well worth the cost if in your budget, IMO). I love the scenic drive alongside the morros and the olive trees out front (off the main campus)--plenty of parking. Friendly students greet you and are there to answer questions. There is usually an assortment of items on the front table (such as any produce in stock, flowers, etc), then make a right into the cooler room, where you'll find the refrigerated and frozen meats, cheeses, and eggs, as well as jams, chocolate bars, and some cute merch. They have little shopping baskets to carry your haul. We have really enjoyed their frozen chicken wings, all the steaks, the pork chops and loin, sausages, and ohhhh, the bacon (plain, flavored, and ends). On a trip in late April, the eggs were $5.75/dozen, which I thought was a good price for the bounty of happy hens and quality, fresh eggs. Meat prices vary and are mostly priced by the pound. On this trip, the fresh top sirloin was $13/pound and a gorgeous cut with just the right amount of marbling. Fresh pork loin chops were $7.00/pound, with a small fat cap. The tri-tip is usually a little higher than Ralph's but there is a difference that may make it worthwhile if it fits in your budget. Sometimes the frozen items of the same meat are a little less per pound than the fresh. The Swiss sausages were $10.50 and Bratwurst were $10 per pound (four sausages per pound). We also love their real beef snack sticks ($8, and no weird ingredients). I also indulged in the beautiful flower bouquet, $16 -- which are still as fresh as can be four days after purchase. They also have a rewards program, so you can get a "VIP discount" of 15% after three visits, among other rewards. Look for sales of items on their website (for example, last weekend the chicken wings were 10% off). Yay, go Mustangs! We've been trying to buy from local farms, and this is a great option for SLO County.

The shop is located in the heart of Downtown Morro Bay, and is open Weds-Sat! The shop is cozy, and has plenty of different options of cuts as well as a variety of frozen items.

I appreciate the fact that when you order steaks, they're cut in front of you & the staff lets you have a say on how much you want. I highly recommend this spot, and hope to see this shop continue to thrive :-)

Service is minimal unless you really have to ask questions. All the meat is clearly labeled so just dig in and take what you want. Prices are about average.

The pork was soft and juicy with a few crunchy edges, the carrots were tangy, the bread was fresh and not tough and kept good balance with the amount of sandwich filling. The $20 price was high relative to where I'm from (Midwest) but it WAS a great sandwich... Also got the potatoes wedges. Not crunchy, but still delicious. Great casual lunch spot! The guys behind the counter were attentive hosts.

I had high hopes for this place based on the strong reviews, but unfortunately it didn't live up to…read moreexpectations. I stopped in for lunch and ordered a couple of sandwiches to go, thinking it would be a good way to try the food before committing to a larger purchase like steaks, pasta, or other items from the shop. The sandwiches came out to $42 for two, which felt pretty steep. While I waited, I looked around the store at some of the other products, but nothing really stood out to me, and the service felt a bit underwhelming. The sandwiches themselves were just okay--nothing particularly memorable for the price. A few hours later my stomach also felt a bit uneasy, which didn't leave the best impression. Overall, the experience fell short of what I was expecting. Perhaps I just caught them on an off day, but based on this visit, I probably won't be returning.

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!
