Barons Quality Meats - Castro Valley

I shop here at least once a week. Everything is always fresh, the place is clean and the people who work here are top notch!!Customer service is fantastic. They split my wings, spatchcock my chickens and slice roasts to fit my family. The house made sausages are a favorite. I started buying the marinated chicken parts in the refrigerator section. Not something I usually do but I work a lot and get short on time. They are great!!! I like the jerk chicken, seasoned well but not too spicy. My new favorite is the chimichurri seasoning and it is amazing. I plan to put it on repeat!Roasted in a cast iron skillet on 350 until brown and crispy my my my. Plan to stock up and have a freezer staple. Great for company when you need a quick delicious dinner. Easy sides and you're done. Gotta go eat bye

I always wanted to try meat from a butch market and make a homemade steak! My bf loves home cooked meals specifically steak he loves his steak w/ baked potatoes! Instead of going out to some fancy restaurant on Valentine's Day we decided to have a one of a kind homemade steak! I saw a nice butch place in Berkeley but that was a bit too far so I looked around that was close by and I stumbled across this little hole on the wall market. Not to many reviews so not sure what I was walking into but I had to be bold and try it out! A bit confusing on finding this spot it's located inside a big building connected to other businesses such as a organic supermarket, winery, and a restaurant on the second floor! Mind you this place is located in Castro Valley so I'm not so surprised lol. I fell in love with this place right when we walked in as I ordered the steak my bf went to check out the organic market. The Boucher was very nice and very helpful and answered all the questions I had. I ordered one pound of ribeye steak and was on my way! The final result of eating this delicious steak man HANDS DOWN one of the best steaks I had in my life! Definitely will come here when I'm in a homemade steak mood!

Great place to get chicken, hand-cut to order. They have natural and organic selections of various meats and fish. They can also prep ahead for you if you call them before you head there.

Wow, this butcher shop had the best customer service in person ever! Forgive me if I forgot your name, but I think it was Raul(? , who helped me with my meat purchase. Since it was my first time cooking prime rib, I was extremely nervous and intimidated. I've never cooked anything this big or expensive either, lol. Anyways, he gave me advice on how to prep the prime rib by adding salt to help retain moisture and types of seasoning on the meat. So that was very helpful! Lastly, I actually followed Food Wishes's Method X recipe on YouTube and it was a big success! Thanks for getting me a fresh piece from the fridge and tying it up as well, you're the best!!! Highly recommend their high quality meats :

Great cuts of meat, nice variety of sausages, and friendly staff
