    Great brisket sandwich 4/5: juicy!! and loaded with meats (it does contain a lot of "fat", and might be too much for others.) Pastrami sandwich 4/5: loaded with meats, amazing flavors, highly recommend Potato wedges tasted old. 0/5

    What a delicious treat! My wife and I saw this shop a week ago from the street and we both wanted to make it back. Stopped in for a late lunch. Service was good, menu was well laid out on the wall with no prices that we saw. Ordered a couple of sandwiches, one calamari and a fried chicken. Quick, order up in ten. My chicken sandwich was good it had a pretty tangy type slaw on it, did I say "tangy." My wife's was better. The first bite of her calamari sandwich was delicious. Perfectly cooked and balanced with the sauce and bread. That's a winner. After lunch , looking around a little they have some pricey wines, house made dog foods, books, hats and of course meats, sausages and Green Egg Smoker's to cook them. Last words...so local, so good.

    Saw "The Meatery" on the PBS show called "Check Please" and I had to go there the next time I was in Seaside, CA. Well, I'm here! The Meatery opened 4 years ago. It is a deli with special sandwiches, bbq shop with meats smoked in a Green Egg Smoker, a butcher shop with lots of prime cuts of meat and in-house made sausages, and pre-made foods in the cold cases, like shrimp gumbo, that you can bring home and heat up They also sell beverages and cookies. The parking lot is small, so you may have to park in the dirt lot next door. The Meatery is a shop, but they do have indoor tables and chairs to enjoy your food or you can take your foods to go. The place is cozy & clean, the furnishings are made of dark wood, and the room has lots of light from all the windows. I came here on a Saturday at a little after 5pm. Tip #1, The Meatery is closed on Sundays & Mondays, and Tip #2, they stop making sandwiches at 5pm on the dot! So get there early if you want a sandwich! Looks like you can order online too, but I didn't know it at the time. Even though I got there after 5pm, I was still able to get some of their moist and tender smoked brisket, spicy mac & cheese pimento salad, and loaded broccoli salad with bacon bits. That combo was DELICIOUS! Yum!!! Everything is packaged nicely. Also got their popular black garlic sausage & cheesy Jalapeño sausage. Can't wait to grill them up! I will need to go back the next time I'm in town so I can try their sandwiches.

    Omg this place is amazing! Fabulous food and excellent service & reasonable prices for the high quality. You can get lunch and then get meat and all the sides for dinner in one stop! Very clean and cute restaurant. Must gets: Rueben, meatball sandwich, bang mi, roasted chicken with the green beans and Caesar salad was absolutely exceptional. Also order the Mac and cheese, broccoli salad, Cole slaw, potato salad & cucumber kimchi salad-- all are amazing. Will go back again and again.

    This place is magical for any chef, foodie, or tourist visiting the area looking for some great sandwiches! Chef Todd has a great selection of goodies! Wine, dried pasta, cookbooks, sausages, cuts of meat, hot bar! I can go on and on honestly lol The hot sandwiches change often and I'm always surprised by the creativity and well done classics people love! I ordered a specialty item from him, venison, while waiting for my order I decided to sit and have a snack. I ordered the pate plate with mustard, pickles, salad, with a huge crust of bread. Damn this was good! I'd have it everyday for lunch if I could! The grab and go fridges are stocked with some awesome foods! Prepared dinners, frozen stocks, meats, duck fat, beef tallow, duck, elk, bison! This place is a real gem! And he also does cooking classes! I cannot recommend this place enough! Go check it out it honestly speaks for itself once you enter the doors.

    Haven't had one bad thing from here yet, I just wish they were in the Redondo Beach area.

    Listen.. I have never submitted a review SO QUICKLY for something I've eaten. I popped in about an hour and something ago off the suggestion of a few locals from an earlier cafe visit. The menu is modest, it's got about 10 or so items, I'm sure they change it up with specials, etc. I let the man know that I'm in town visiting from a few hours south and had a hard time deciding bc it all sounded GOOD. Now, I think this is the greed they talk about in the Bible because I ordered two sandwiches. I just had to try more than one. First off, clean space, enough seating for patrons, and I'm sure the butcher meat to go is quality. The people working here are incredibly kind and have great energy -- I didn't feel rushed at all as I stared at the menu tryna decide. I chose the turkey, and brisket, with a side of some kind of snow pea salad (it changed my life). You'll want to aim for the other heavier sides but don't sleep on the pea salad! It's absolutely incredible.

    I was walking by, decided to stop in, and I just experienced the most delicious, fanciest turkey sandwich ever. Will definitely be back.

    Is this a dog friendly restaurant?

    I believe that they do have a few tables outside for outdoor seating. I hope this answers your question. You could always call ahead to check. They have off street parking, but it's mainly a dirt lot.

    After a long visit to the aquarium, I searched for a place with gluten free food bc my husband has…read moreCeliac. It was a nice walk to the marina on a beautiful sunny day. We met Raul at the counter. He is by far the most friendly, kind and informed restaurant staff (about gluten sensitivity, gluten allergy and what it is to have Celiac) we've ever met. He explained how he prepares the gluten free dough separate, bakes it separate and plates it separate. Based on Raul's genuine concern and knowledge, my hubby decided to try it. Our family had various different sandwiches. (I had the very delicious Vegetariano.) We all agreed they were THE BEST SANDWICHES WE'VE EVER HAD...EVER...ANYWHERE...(mike drop).The freshly baked bread was incredible, all of the ingredients were fresh, even the side salad was amazing!!! The service was straight out of the old days, when people actually had pride in their work and genuinely cared about how you were treated in their establishment. We wish every restaurant that offers gluten free options could have someone as friendly, kind and knowledgeable as Raul. The ambiance was very cute/quaint inside and out. It was a beautiful sunny day so we sat outside to enjoy the sunshine and listen to the sea lions. Raul came out to check on us and we could not thank him enough for his amazing food and hospitality. When we said how much we enjoyed the gluten free bread, he told us he sold the flour (from Italy) inside. My adult son immediately bought some for us to bake gluten-free bread at home. (We've since baked gluten-free bread and it was just as amazing) I've told everyone I know about this amazing place. It has the trifecta of what makes us want to return frequently: *****Food *****Service *****Ambiance Until next time Piccolo!

    Small, cute spot by the water. There are a few tables inside and more tables outside (though it was…read morebreezy when we went). Note that this restaurant is on the ground floor and there is a different restaurant up top. We ordered the Mortadella Pistachio Panini and the Piccolo salad. The panini was absolutely awesome and the meat was sliced so delicately thin. The salad was good, but the panini was way better. Service was quick. Note: The restaurant doesn't have its own bathroom but there is a public restroom across the street. The public restroom was a bit gross when I went in (lots of flies swarming) and did not have a diaper changing table.
