Longhorn Meat Co.

We have a big family and go through a lot of meat. I cannot afford to buy all my meat here but I buy as much as I can afford. Grocery store and Costco chicken started peeling the outer layer of skinless chicken breast when cooked (no matter how we cooked it) and the frozen chicken had so much liquid injected into each breast (so that the packager could sell the same amount of chicken breasts at the same weight and price) and it really impacts the quality and taste of what I’m cooking. Longhorns meat is quality and local. You can tell the difference in taste, tenderness, quality and consistency when cooking. After getting meat at Longhorn, I really question what’s in that grocery store meat.

Recently, there has been a change in the counter helpers. I appreciate that the mean gals have moved on and now Longhorns has some new people that are friendly and helpful. As usual, the meats are great. Old post: I like to go get meat from longhorns because I believe it is best to buy local and support the local butcher.. Unfortunately every time I go there, I leave with disappointment.. All of the ladies working the front counter are awfully rude. A little customer service goes a long way. Teach the ladies some customer service! A basic hello, how are ya, what can I get for you today.. I always feel like I am bothering them by asking a question or looking to see which piece I’d like to purchase. If you don’t mind paying premium prices for good meat and being treated like your patronage isn’t appreciated, or important to the business, go to Longhorns.. The difference between going to Rayleys and going to longhorns is an extra stop and not getting all of my groceries.. Please don’t inconvenience the customer further by making them feel like you don’t even want them in your store.

After getting a smoker, I've been shopping here more and more. Great selection of fresh meats and fair prices. They are more expensive than the grocery store, but you are getting what you pay for. One of the few place around that you can get a fresh turkey for thanksgiving and the difference is huge. I've always had good service but it can be slow sometimes when they get really busy, which is totally reasonable.

Best butcher in placer county. Prices are competitive with any of the grocery stores but the quality is waaaaay better. I always come here for fresh salmon, tri tip, and chicken breasts. These come in a variety of marinades and are super tasty. If you've never been, check it out, it's the best option for meat eaters!

Perfecting the lost art of butchery! A great local butcher shop with amazing quality meat of all varieties and cuts. If they dont have it, ask and they will get it. We go here weekley for tri tips and whole chickens. They have also processed a few game animals I have hunted and I have nothing but good words for them. They made the best bratwurst I have ever had with a wild boar I killed. This place is worth the extra money!
