Orangevale Meat Shoppe

I wish i could give them a zero star rating. My brother and i dropped off some meat for them to process into burger and sausage. They got it done in the time they said they would and they called us to come pick it up. When we got there they brought us out two small boxes. I asked if that was everything because it didnt seam like enough. They assured me that it was everything. We paid the bill and we’re loading the boxes into the truck when we noticed it wasn’t even our meat. So we took it back and and they apologized. They went into the freezer to find hours and couldn’t find our meet. After over an hour. They said sorry we can’t find it maybe we can give you something else instead. So I went back into the freezer myself and dug and found it buried in the corner. Needless to say I was pretty frustrated at this point. After I got home and was putting it in the freezer I noticed the packages werent even packaged correctly. Over half of the packages of meat or improperly sealed and were already covered with ice. They will be freezer burnt in a matter of weeks. At this point I am pretty frustrated. The bill was over $ 600 to process two deer and two antelope. I was expecting a little better quality. So I called and talked to manny he said he would look into it. He apologized and said it was probably one of his helpers, he even said how hard it is to find good help. What he didn’t know was it was his brother the other owner Who was helping us. Not a very good organization if you ask me

We can always find something we love here. Such a great selection of non standard meats and poultry. My favorite is the house made Hawaiian Sweet and Spicy Sausage. Super delicious. I love this place.

Just picked up my Standing Rib Roast 10.90 lbs = $ 150.00
Cooked it on the smoker, the yeld was very disappointing, 10% bone, it was a bone, 30% fat. I will never buy an over priced piece of meat from them again. Costco had the same piece of meat for $ 3.00 per pound less. And I don’t think it would have had as much Fat !!! Just not liking the quality of meat from the local meat shop. Spend and Learn !!!

I want to say how impressed my wife and I are with Orangevale Meat’s ground beef. There is hardly any gristle and the price is the same, if not less expensive than, the major grocery stores. We’ll never buy from the other guys again.

Great place, Manny and Al are great guys that know their meat! Love going to this place because I know whatever I get and throw on the grill is going to be great. Will continue to do business with these guys forever, and would highly recommend this place.
Their hot brisket sandwich at the deli is amazing too!!!

These guys are great, great customer service and their meats are A1, I bought a 6 lb pork belly here a few days ago for smoking and making bacon. I’ve been making my own bacon for a few years now and never thought to ask them for pork belly. So glad i did it was the best slab of pork belly i have ever bought and skin was already removed and belly trimmed hell all i had to do was cure and smoke. Orangevale meats is not a close drive for me but their product is worth the drive. And their sandwiches are also awesome, dont miss out on this gem of a butcher shop.

These guys rock the meat! They made me look like a super-​chef at Christmas with their custom spiced, prime rib roast (including instructions.) Excellent butcher shop with great assortment of meats, rubs, marinades, etc. plus really friendly and knowledgeable butchers. Haven’t tried the sandwiches yet but I think I’ll cruise over their tomorrow.

This is a great meat shop! The place was very clean, the workers were friendly, and the meat was affordable. I also got a turkey sandwich (made by Dale, who was awesome bte), and it was probably the best thing I’ve ever eaten. I would definitely recommend going there, and i will be going back!

They have lots of great meats!
I wish they would have some sausage not frozen, but it didn’t change the flavor, you can tell it’s VERY fresh. I always want to walk out of there with 1 of everything.

Tri tip sandwich with slaw was excellent and I had to get one for my wife and take her one at work!

My first visit to this business is when the were still on Main street. The owners were so nice/​informative. I wasn’t experienced, never having purchased «wild game» before. But
both were so «helpful»! And now that they have deli sandwiches (thanks Summer F.), I will
DEFINITELY be returning soon.

Yummy sandwiches! Fast friendly customer service! Dale made my sandwich to perfection and introduced me to everyone that worked there. I will definitely return on a weekly basis for a deli sandwich

Came here for raw dog food for several months while I lived in Sacramento. Being from San Francisco I researched many places and settled on this one. After living locally and shopping around to see if there was anything better I was glad to find gout I was getting the best I was going to get for Sacramento so I was pleased. The mix they have for raw dog food is great. I’d like to see eggs with egg shells added and it would be a perfect diet but I just added the eggs at home.

I got the tri tip and my wife got the pulled teriyaki. Both were amazing. The subs are nice and large with plenty of meat. The customer service was super nice and they have lots of good meat cuts along with specialty meats. I am definitely coming back

We live about 20 mins away from this meat shoppe, yet we still happily make the haul! If you’re a bit timid about what kind of cut to get, ask the helpful staff and they’ll point you the right way.

I had always gone to Orangevale Meats when I wanted something special. The meat was good (but expensive), and I like to support local business people.
But… one day I saw one of the owneres, Manny, coming out of Sam’s Club with a cart loaded with meat. He looked a little sheepish.
I figure if the meat from Sam’s Club is what is being sold at Orangevale Meats, I might as well save some money and buy from Sam’s too.

Excellent quality meats, good variety, knowledgeable and friendly staff. A real gem tucked away here in Orangevale! As others have said, this is an old-​fashioned butcher shop. You will definitely pay more than the grocery stores but the quality is far above what you get at the grocery. When we want to splurge we pick up a château briand or a marinated steak. For day-​to-​day we love their chicken legs with the new jerk seasoning or some of their fresh sausages. Try the spicy bratwurst: they are actually spicy!
For the dog owners: they make a raw blend that is fantastic and grain-​free. No more fiddling around with chicken necks and organ meat, let the butchers do all that for you! They call it Man’s Best Friend and it has beef heart, lamb, chicken necks etc all ground up with some veggies added in. Defrost and feed to your very happy dog.

THIS REVIEW IS FOR THEIR CATERING ONLY. Attended my kid’s crab feed fundraiser for the PTA and Orangevale Meat Shoppe provided the crab. I know what you’re thinking, «Crabs are sold at a meat shop?». But then again, crab is meat too — just ask a vegetarian!
I had avoided attending previous crab feeds at the school because it was catered by another place — a locally-​owned seafood restaurant that I no longer frequent. After having the crab from there I hated throwing money away on stringy, slimy crab. When I heard they were changing vendors, I thought I’d try it out again. So glad I did!
Very impressed with the quality of the crab and shrimp here: fresh, full of flavor and firm texture. Unfortunately they ran out, which is more a fault of the planning committee than the vendor. Thankfully I have another crab feed this weekend!

I’ve brought them my elk and deer. They did a fantastic job on both with little waste and the salami and sausage were yum! AND I didn’t have to mess up my kitchen butchering myself! Have bought their meat and found it to be of high quality.
Meat is Yummy!

3 words sum it up: Old School Butcher. This place is just awesome. Whether you want a rack of lamb for Easter, unique sausages for that perfect summer BBQ, or rabbit for stew the Orangevale Meat Shoppe delivers.
The staff is incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. They have gone out of their way to cater to everyone. They even have an entire case of meats made without nitrites/​nitrates (which is perfect for those of us with family members who are allergic). They are also the best game in town for more exotic meats like alligator, bear, and buffalo. So swing by, pick up some crazy food, and have a Beast Feast!
