    6/19/2022 Oh my! Where do I begin? I asked my son to buy the house made bacon..so I could cook with scallops.. Done! The bacon is probably the best I have ever had!!! Crispy and fully of flavor... went so well with my scallops.. Take it up a notch: dry aged rib eye-!!! $42.99 and just weighing in over a lb.. but So delish, melting in your mouth with each slice just so tender... Next trip: dog treats for my furrbabies! Thank you V.Miller for making us have a special Father's Day ever!!! Should I say... meals make memories !

    Dry aged rib eye with my secret seasonings. Espresso blend is bomb, but too much brown sugar for charcoal grillin

    I love a legitimate butcher shop almost as much as I love legitimate coffee shops. I actually found this shop because another butcher was closed, on Saturday afternoon, at 1 pm. SMH. So, I gotta say this and it's a blanket statement that goes for all butcher shops. Once you try bacon at a butcher shop, you'll never look at your packaged bacon the same way. It's true what they say. Once you go black (coffee that is, silly geese) you just never go back. I bought a pound of the dirty bacon, which is rubbed down with their espresso blend and jts really good. I made an apple, onion and bacon jam for my pork rib eye and that bacon hits different. Not too salty and clearly not soaked in funky solution for shelf life. Fresh, clean, fatty goodness. I have never seen or even heard of a pork rib eye, until this day. I got one and it was absolutely gorgeous. Lots of fattyness and the color was deep and rich and boy. This was an awesome chunk of pig and I devoured every single bite. Cooked to a perfect medium using the MEATER probe and it was delicious. I'll be back for the pork porterhouse next time. I also picked up a dry aged rib eye of beef. That's what you're looking at in my photos. Visually, it was almost perfect. It was not cheap but it never is when you focus on quality rather than quantity. Unfortunately, it ate really dry and I was shocked. As you can see, it was cooked to perfection and allowed to rest. But, it lacked the deep, rich, and robust beefy flavor of a dry aged steak. Bummer because much like myself in school, it had such great potential. The store is tiny but packs a massive punch with lots of fresh sausage, bacon, pork, beef and so many wonderful options. Yes, its expensive. A but too expensive for Sac Town, if you ask me, which you did by reading this. I'll be back for sure and I'll choose some other fun stuff to grill.

    This looks like an art display of meat!!

    I looooove getting sausages here! I have tried those and the lamb meatballs are to die for. I have not gotten a bad thing here. I have also gotten a few other random things for my doggos like the bones and they used to have some ground up bits I think they sold as dog food. It's been a while so I don't really remember, but they always love a treat from V. Miller. Guys that work here are pretty friendly and will offer you advice on stuff to pair with your meat course. I wanna try the dry aged steaks next time... They look so cool in the display case!!

    If you're pheening for that neighborhood throwback, the classic old-school butcher, V. Miller Meats brings it. What's more, they've upped the game to include freezer foods (think chicken pot pies, feijoada, meaty pasta sauce, soups and much more, frozen to just heat/eat), an array of house made sausages, spatchcock chicken, food for your dogs, and just keep going. Need confit for your cassoulet? Bingo. Don't want to cook your own cassoulet? If you're lucky enough to score their 12/30/21 Thursday dinner for two, it's...cassouletl Don't want to cook on Tuesday? Pick up a free-range, locally raised, seasoned and roasted chicken (hanging out on a bed of equally roasted potatoes) to go. Thursday night dinners go fast! Call your order in on Wednesday if you want to get one - it's a rotating menu including meat loaf, Chile verde, beef bourgignone (I have no idea how to spell that) and more. Beef tongue pastrami? Got ya covered. Bone broth? Yup. Fresh smoked ham hocks for your bean soup? Done. Beans for the soup? Yup, they've got local NorCal family farm heirloom dried beans. And on and on. And if you beg them to bring it back, they just might: the frozen short rib Wellington that's a 45-minute, 375 degree drive to dinner-at-home nirvana.

    This place is definitely a quality over quantity establishment! I've been looking around for a local butcher that carries good meats for a decent price; while they're meats are quality, it's definitely not a price category that will fit everyone's budget. I decided to go with 4lbs of the brisket, 4 of the burger patties and a bag of jerky. The gentleman that helped was very knowledgeable and answered all my annoying questions haha. They also offer a punch card for every $50 spent (5 punches gets $10 off next purchase). I can definitely see myself returning in the near future.

    Do you like meat? You would definitely like this place. After watching a video of an expert analyzing different types of meats (don't ask how I got there), I wanted to eat some delicious meats without paying the price at a fancy restaurant. This place let me achieve that dream! Excellent meat selection and friendly staff. They also have special cooked meals (soup and bento box) on certain days. The food changes every time and the only way to know is through their Instagram... so follow them on Instagram to see what they are selling on that day! The best part is that it's close to my house... so I will definitely be back!

    The sliced smoked ham deli meat was inedible. It was mostly fat and way overpriced. We won't be going back.

This is a funny place for me as I've been here more than a few times,yet I don't have a favorite beer or food item but not because I don't like the food or the beer but because the more things I try the more things I had to my favorites list at this incredible brewery. This particular visit was on a Tuesday and they have a great pint beer special on Mondays and Tuesdays with $5 select pints all day. On this day we decided to go with Weird is the new Normal-a West Coast IPA($5.00) & a Luna De Miel-a Mexican Amber($5.00). Both beers were very refreshing and went down super easy and I've added both to my "will order again " list. For food I ended up ordering Brisket Tacos ($14.00) off the appetizer list and a Pulled Pork Sandwich($17.00) off the sandwich list. I upgraded my fries to Garlic Fries for an additional fee-I think $1 but not sure as I was being treated that day. This is the kid of place where u walk up to counter and place an order for your beer and food then they give u a number and will bring your grub out to ya at whatever table u can find. They have both indoor and outside seating-I prefer outside seating this time of year. Food was delivered very fast-in under 10 minutes. Brisket Tacos were super simple but still wonderful -really soft tortilla with a nice chew and flavor topped with their famous juicy tender perfectly flavored brisket with onions and cilantro as a topper-they are excellent because of the quality of the brisket. 8.8/10 Pulled Pork Sandwich was the item that stood out that day-pulled pork was smoked perfectly and smothered with a perfect amount of their BBQ sauce and one of their famous onion rings is in the sandwich also topped with BBQ sauce.The bun they use was so soft and meshed perfectly with the soft tasty bite of the pulled pork. 9.4/10 I really do love all of my visits to Urban Roots as every visit has been positive-I've recommended this place to many of my friends who visit from out of town for a high quality yet casual dining experience & if that isn't enough of a recommendation,the day I visited was my actual birthday and this was the place I choose to celebrate-I love this place that much.
