We got some amazing steak from The Meatery courtesy of a very special delivery. I am in complete awe of the amazing flavor the rub gave the meat and how delicate & tender it was. Thank you so much chef Kevin!!! Seriously try this place it is top notch food from top notch people!!
I’m a bit bias since it’s family but they have a great concept here! Best of the best if meat is on the menu! Yummy sides too...
This place is just beautiful! The meat is the highest quality and really fresh. They even allowed my kids to be there and made them delicious warm ham and cheese sandwiches, which tasted like gruyere, even I loved them!
What an amazing place. We bought the prime aged New York strips for a special occasion and they were fantastic!! I can't wait for our next visit. The Tomahawk rib eye looks amazing.
Had a great fresh made sandwich on opening day along with beef short rib that the butcher recommended for stir fry. Nice to have a local group that knows their meat and does it well!
Delicious!! Loved the Reuben. Can’t wait to come back for some very fine olive oil and honeycomb. The meat case was making my mouth water.

Amazing meal and delightful service. Chicken was out of this world good and the Roasted Asparagus was sublime
They have a very nice selection on display and the best part is, if you don’t see what you want or have a special request, they’ll more than happy to oblige. The first time I came in, I didn’t know what I wanted and Jason happily explained the different cuts of beef to me and I ended up with two large racks of beef ribs. You can tell they love what they do with all the things they sell from house-made hot meals, sausages, meats that you can see dry aging. I’ve been very impressed with everything I’ve had there.
Being a salami fan, what I have tried has been fantastic!!
First thing that hits you when you walk into this Butcher Shop is the FABULOUS, delicious smell that lingers in the air. I didn't realize they also sell sandwiches which was just and EXTRA bonus. There's so much to choose from Waygu, lamb, sausages all looked and sounded AMAZING, quail, brisket, Buffalo and MORE! We bought sausage with fermented black garlic, and another sausage with spinach and feta and had to get the Kielbasa sausage. The brisket was already cooked and we bought over a pound to heat up for dinner.
Service was SUPER friendly and there seemed to be a lot of regulars that had stopped in grab to what they needed. They also carry Baker's Bacon from Marina which I'm excited to try!
Their fresh dog food also seemed popular!
So of you're looking for a great local Butcher Shop you definitely need to stop by in Seaside and try The Meatery. Theur sandwiches so sounded AMAZING!
I love this place. What a high quality meat selection. When ever I have a special order I can turn to Todd and team to get it filled. Over the last year I have ordered a full lamb (cleaned), a full pig (cleaned) and the largest beef ribs you have ever seen. All of them turned out to be fantastic. The meatery crew fulfilled the orders on time and fantastic quality.
When ever I have a big BBQ planned this is my go to spot.

I would absolutely recommend! I came here for some sandwiches: Italian Po boy, Bahn mi (pork belly), and the Sunday special (tritip sandwich.) These sandwiches were amazing and have the most flavorful meat, complimented with the perfect toppings and very fresh bread.
The workers were very kind and had all the Covid precautions perfectly in place. They happened to be relaunching the muffuletta back onto their menu and even threw one in on the house. Taste is amazing! I can tell why customers were begging for this to come back on the menu.
They have just about everything you could want for a nice picnic or stellar charcuterie board. I also got a variety of drinks, house made ‘njdua (for a pizza night), one of their several fermented hot sauces (Serrano pepper), and some puppy treats! I would absolutely come back for more flavor adventures, added some pictures of the specials, experiences and kits.
Overall, you can tell the heart and soul is in the business and absolutely shines through the aesthetic of the space and quality of product offered!
Premium butcher shop selling top notch sandwiches.
Best sandwiches in town. I had the brisket sandwich and am going back to try more soon. Also great cake. Best lunch spot I know of in the Monterey region right now. I knew there had to be a top notch sandwich place around and glad I found it. Also have a top tier selection of meat and other groceries.

Update July 2023
Still excellent high-end Deli. After hike today we had to swing in for a Sandwich - the Reuben - soooo good! Took some (uncooked) meats home for later.
Very nice young man at the counter as well.
We have never been disappointed with a sandwich from The Meatery!

Excellent Deli sandwiches by nice folks working Feb 27 2021. Everyone masked, gloved, and good space to social distance wait in line. Good sized, good tasting and reasonably priced - for what you get - sandwiches to go. We bought 2 and shared. The Cali (meat & peppers) and the PoBoy (tangy deli). Very different tastes and both really good.
We also tried their Saturday special (sold by lb.) for dinner - which was smoked brisket (sides choice was mac-n-cheese and mashed cheesy potatoes). Plus we got some deli meat to go with the fresh bread from our local bakery for another day. Good thing we have nice weather because YES long walks are required after all that delicious - DELIcious - food. Will return, will recommend. [thank you to the friendly folks working the counter/kitchen during these crazy times]
Great butcher shop with quality meat selection. The rotating hot food lunches are a great addition to the area for lunch. Great casual seating in a well decorated dining room.
We went here for lunch. It's a limited menu of sandwiches and some hot pre-cooked food. We had the roast beef sandwich, a banh mi sandwich and fried chicken.
The sandwiches were good. Good flavor, some spiciness. The pork belly banh mi was a good combo of ingredients.
They also have some beer on tap / bottles and wine.
Go early if you want the sandwich of the day. They only make a limited amount.
Love love these people and their company! They have made such a difference to our summer from my daughters Birthday to Labor Day! Our entire summer was riddled with delectables from the Meatery! I’m still using chicken broth I made by infusing the bones from the truffle chicken we purchased from the meatery, the list goes on! These guys are spurring my own creativity in the kitchen! Thank you for putting so much into what you do! I feel so much gratitude knowing that everything you do is also pretty much all sourced locally, and definitely ethically and of course hand crafted... Thanks!!!
What an amazing place for prepared food, fresh meat, and even great wine/beer. The owners are friendly and helpful; they are clearly passionate about good food!
We had the brisket sandwich, Bahn mi sandwich, and macaroni & cheese. Everything was delicious, with a generous amount of meat on the sandwiches, and pieces of bacon in the mac & cheese. We plan on going back often to try more items on the menu, and purchase steaks for the grill.
Great burger, good fries, good vibes and friendly service! I would strongly recommend. Next time, I would try their dry-aged steak with Peter Luger’s sauce in their fridge!
Chef Todd is the bomb!!! I know his food for years going back to before Tarpy's and years at Pebble Beach Food & Wine...the man knows his meat! The brisket is incredible. So tender, juicy, smoky, with a nice fat back that melts in your mouth. Just amazing straight up with his special tangy barbecue sauce. The Goomba Italian sandwich was fantastic with fancy cuts of Italian deli meat on a soft Palermo roll! The rib was also amazing! Huge, smoky, falling off the bone and delicious! The fries are killer, too, with a great spicy sweet seasoning. The chicken sandwich with the pickled onion is awesome! As for sides, the potato salad is okay. The mac and cheese is better. The slaw looks good but the stars of the show are the various meats. Definitely go there and grab a very satisfying meal...it's a local's favorite! I'll get pictures next time.....

Today was my first experience with The Meatery and I have to say It was great. Called them earlier in the day and Bryce answered the call. Very professional and extremely accommodating he was over the phone. He answered all my questions and was extremely helpful with my meat choices. Finally, he was kind enough to offer holding off selling what I needed till I make it in to the store as I was about 2 hours away from being in town. When I was finally able to make it in, he had my Tri tip ready for me. I mention all the above to share and point out the great level of service I experienced here. On the other hand, if I try to talk about how amazing my Tri Tip was or how out of this world the aged prime rib I bought here tasted, words will never do them justice. I have found my favorite Meataery place and I don't have to go to the city any more to get the Wagyu Beef cuts I love and want. Thank you Bryce for the all your assistance. Today was my first experience with The Meatery and I have to say It was great. Cheers!
Came for lunch and had the ham and Gouda. A little pricey for basically a ham and cheese, but absolutely delicious. Will be back for more!
Never been there before, was looking for a place for a sandwich, And Google showed me this place. Excellent Reuben sandwich and I never had macaroni salad like that before, it was delicious. I recommend The Meatery to anyone looking for a very good sandwich. Plus I also saw Tomahawk ribeye steaks hanging in the back. I will be back.
I went to The Meatery and found delicious breakfast and Italian kind house made sausages. My friends and I loved to try them! The place looks clean, nice and welcoming. The boys who took care of my order were nice and respectful. I will go again for the German kind brats, too, for sure!
