Beef Bones, Wild Boar Shoulder, and Wild Boar Sausage was my haul this morning …. Not your vanilla cuts, but they have those in abundance too. The point is that; they have have the best cuts and even better people slinging it.
This place is a San Francisco staple, and I’m looking forward to getting back to my weekly rotation of dropping in on a Saturday morning.
I’d advise you to check it out; whether visiting or local. It will not disappoint.
I'm convinced you guys have the best meat that I've come across. The whole staff, including the managers, are friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. If you want some special cuts, call, and they'll set them aside for you. If you're looking for an exclusive piece of meat and delicious cooking advice, this shop is the right place for you!
Solid pot pie - I asked for a chicken pot pie, but I pushed my fork in and discovered that it was actually a beef pot pie that I had been given. I didn't take it back as I happen to like beef pot pies too, but just a surprise for me as I was expecting a very different flavor. I will say the beef and the gravy inside had a very nice spicy peppery-ness that I really appreciated, and the crust was sufficiently flaky. It was very filling (honestly the perfect size for lunch) and not a bad price amongst the shops at the touristy/popular Ferry Building.
Barbecue pork ($ 3.58)
I got only pork, not in a sandwich or a wrap. My order was a half of the smallest container, which was enough for one person. I got just a little bit of sauce. I think the pork itself was soft enough, but not seasoned enough, which can be complemented with sauce. I had it with baguette which was great, and I think it would also go well with soft buns.
I stopped yesterday after eating at Hog’s oyster bar and asked if they could provide me with boneless beef short ribs in a Korean marinade for making Korean barbecue. These superior butchers produced exactly what I was hoping for in a very few minutes. We cooked it at home eaten with rice and lettuce leaves burrito style. Thanks guys! Your marinade EXCEEDED my expectations and the BEEF was tender and beautifully cut
Yesterday I went to the ferry building and bought some salami from SF meat Co., specifically the Finocchio salami. I’ve recently moved back to the bay area from a three-year stint in Italy which is where I had first had this kind of salami and I was missing it dearly. My expectations for an American version were fairly low, so I was blown out of the water straight into pork heaven by how delicious the salami was. It was different than the Tuscan variety to be sure, but so beautifully composed that it was an artform all on its own. The fat and salt content were balanced and well distributed, the texture was firm and perfect for both thin and fat slices, the flavor? Exquisite. It is the best salami I’ve ever had in the United States. Bravo
One of the best places to purchase your meat. Prices are fair, service is always excellent. We always come to buy our prosciutto and they are the only place we've been to in the city that cuts it paper thin. It's perfect everytime.
Also a great place to get wagyu steaks or iberico steaks.
Would highly recommend
Even before I discovered keto I loved me some meat, and the Golden Gate Meat Company makes every trip to the Ferry Building a more fun excursion.
To start, I always stop off for a sausage-on-a-stick. They offer two varieties, one spicy, one mild with a bit of a fennel touch.
There are both raw meats on sale and prepared foods, like beef or pork slathered in a very tasty barbecue sauce. Often my last purchase at the Ferry Building is a bag of meat, destined for a short stay in the fridge.
Exceptionally good butcher. The staff are extremely knowledgeable about their products and super helpful. The quality of the meats here is just stunning. I bought out Turkey for Thanksgiving from here, as well as various extras (stuffing, cranberry sauce etc). And I also bought a bone-in ham from Llano Seco farm for our Christmas dinner. I was delighted on both occasions.
This place is located in the Ferry Building and is like a small deli. Lots of people are around here at lunch with busy business people looking for eats. I ordered a chili and though tasty, was also watery and not that thick. I also got an egg salad and believe there was a bit of egg shell in there. Also, no forks or spoons were provided. I am curious why they pack their foods in plastic, non-compostable (but are recyclable) bowls.
Not sure if I would return.
Edit: I learned they’re going out of business, which explains the below. Updating my review. Sad.
Used to be a go-to, I just wasted time walking over and sitting in front of a sign saying the shop is open until 5:15pm today yet everything is fenced off and closed. If you don’t want to get business might as well update your website and spell it out plainly for customers.
My personal favorite.

This might be my favorite place ever. Such an incredible selection came for the A5 wagyu and was blown away by selection of everything else. Making a purchase here was like buying a diamond ring, the staff is incredibly knowledgeable and made the experience amazing!!!

wide variety of meats including some items you probably wont find in your local market such as duck, squab, guinea fowl,kobe lifter meat, suckling pig. It may seem pricy at first but if you look around carefully you can find some deals. Also features a walk up food bar featuring chicken, sausages and pizza
The food is good and I would have spent twice as much for food that's half as good if I would have eaten at the airport instead of waiting to get here first. I got their barbecue pork and potatoes and it was delicious!
Excellent. Has breakfast sandwich. Great. Quick.
Amazing meat quality, clean and incredibly helpful staff. Just discovered they closed no idea why, I hope they reopen🙏🏼
