| - Went and sought out The Butcher's Block on Sunday. It's not the worst location (a block away from Lazy Joe's Fish and Chips) for me, but it's not the best, either. In a nothing strip mall, it's tucked away into the corner. I think they are very small on the inside, plus I think they keep more than half of their stock in the back freezer/cutting area. Makes their cases look a bit bare.
Bought a pork boneless butt roast, and 2 gigantic beef shin bones for my dogs. The roast was good, but for the $3.49 per pound I paid, nothing outstanding. I can get a better roast at Vons, for quite a bit cheaper.
The bones were a huge hit with my 2 big dogs. One of them likes to eat things in the backyard that lie around, so I won't sat she's got the best of taste. 2 6 inch shin bones were $9.50, I don't feel it was a great deal. In fact, I think Whole Foods charges less for their meats, plus I feel like I get a better value for my $$.
I know this place is well-loved by many on Yelp, but I think it's not as good as Larry's Great Western Meats. I spend alot less, and get more for my $$, and the staff is great. The nice little old lady who helped me at Butcher's Block was nice enough, but she wasen't overly helpful. So, i'm glad I tried them, but don't think i'll be going back.
