Reviews of A Cut Above Butcher Shop (Butcher Shop)

Ariel Oki

This butcher shop is great. I like to know where my food comes from and they offer great info about exactly that. Staff are informed and friendly. This place has local vibes where you can just come in and they'll remember you. Prices aren't cheap but not ridiculous like bellcampo. I highly recommend this place

Amazing sandwiches!

Nicolette Mena

The pastrami sandwich was pretty good, but a bit too pricey for what it was.

Great sandwiches!

You know , I have passed by this place several times dropping my kid off at school. Finally decided to give it a try and I'm almost kicking myself for not doing so earlier. The seating is smaller than you would expect; I assume most get there offerings to go, but if the rest of the menu is as good as the BBQ pulled pork sandwich that I ordered then I get it. Definitely can't wait to try the rest of the menu , and from what I can tell it changes often. Plus side the cuts of meat looked immaculate.....

Ed Superfon

Great old style butcher. Custom order to your specs. Bone a duck, Marinate, skin, and slice beef tongue. They have the best hamburger on the west side. Try the Cuban sandwich. A little pricey normal for the west side. Parking in the rear.

Dominika Lilli

Delicious, fresh, organic, grass-fed meat sandwiches. Great choices, great people working there

Ben Gibson

Best butchers around; forget wholefoods, this place is the real deal for meat. And killer sandwiches.

Bridget Stennis

The sandwiches are just too amazing!

Andy Abramson

Love this place. The really know meat, and how to properly butcher it. Plus their lunch bar options are the best around. They're open every day except Tuesdays now (everyone deserves a break) and they do run out of items, which I consider a good thing, as every item on the menu is freshly made. Their cuts of beef for cooking at home are all prime cuts. You can't go wrong here, and the staff is friendly, upbeat, helpful and go out of their way to guide you to make the right choices based on what you need.

Kevin Pazirandeh

Wonderful prepared food in addition to meat, but seriously, the flourescent lights in the display case need to change, it makes all the meat look rotten.

Finally had the chance to try this spot. I order the lemongrass steak banh mi sandwich which I've had before in vietnamese restaurants and was very good. Now this one was okay, nothing special. The steak was chewy, with not much taste to it. Felt the fish sauce over powered the sandwich it self way too much, and definitely not worth 14 dollars. 4 star due to great service, very clean, and friend staff. The co-workers I went with, really like their food which is a good thing, maybe the particular sandwich I got was just not having it. Would like to try other items on the menu to see it they are up to par with the many positive review online.

Beautiful..

Maxwell Gail

Best butcher in santa monica hands down, and the prepared food is top notch too.

Ronald Lamar Hart

Different

Carl Kwoh

This place is amazing. Highly recommend.

Julian Harker

Great sandwiches and friendly, helpful staff. Great selection of meats including more obscure items

Alex Mouton

I say it every time I'm there and it's time you all know. This is the best hamburger in Los Angeles. The meat is as good as all the other reviews suggest. Buttery, delicious grind. Sweet caramelized onions and blue cheese. Russian Dressing? Crisp Lettuce and fresh tomato. Reminds me of Peter Luger, iirc. Dont tell anyone. Dont miss it.

Fausto Perez

Great sandwiches for sure ! Love this place. Everyone is so nice.

Gaming with Abe!

Smokes grassfed brisket tacos are the best!

Patrick Lambert

BBQ brisket sandwich was very good.

JB C

So friendly. Even if I was a vegetarian I would stop in to say hi. Other butcher shops in the area don't have the customer service they do. Quality is great. Try a housemade sandwich, very good. People might think prices are high but you know you are getting better quality.

Vance Macdonald

A little pricey, but both the meat and sandwiches are worth it.

Tina Knigh

Very casual place that is essentially a butcher shop with tables. We ordered the philly cheesesteak sandwiches. Absolutely delicious. We also ordered some deep fried balls of meat with a tender breading on the outside. Served on a bed of bean puree. Not sure what are called but they disappeared in about 2 minutes. Very tasty food and friendly staff. Will return many times.

Majin Perez

Worked here for a couple weeks. I wasn't very good at my job. I admitted that I really wasn't interested in continuing and was let go. I always loved being a customer here but upon separation was told that I should not longer come on the property for any reason. This made me very sad. I sincerely hope moral improves.

Matthew Altermatt

I make sure to eat here everytime I am in town.

Jasmine Arthur

Love any place that has a wide variety of organic local farms. It's a butcher shop but also serves food.

Harry Lang

The best sandwiches

Lee Davis

Amazing quality and taste in all the meats I've tried. Definitely worth a visit and having that old world style experience of buying from the local butcher's shop.

Tim de Vallee

This place has incredible meat.

Aaron Young

Amazing grass feed meat

Jason Hoffman

Pork banh mi is amazing as well as the salumi sandwich. Oh and great butcher selection from great farms.

Asim Matin

The place is expensive, but the food is very good.

Romaine Demello

Great service! Very friendly young gentleman at the register who threw in a free juice with my tacos. Sounds like he and his mother run the place. Props to them!

Alexandra Kalinowski

Best bacon, homemade broths, unusual jerky’s and salamis. There are lots of affordable options in among the fancy stuff and absolutely everything is good. So nice to have in the neighborhood

Rob Nickell

The arugula salad is unbelievable. Not only good for meats!

Samuel Estes

Can't find a better butcher than this on the westside. All the meat is amazing, always can make great dishes with the meat they source. Don't mind the higher end price at all, it's worth every bite. And get the deli meats, you won't be disappointed!

Sir Francis IV

Alice and Eddy always servin' quality service and butchery. You can never go wrong with anything you buy here. Unless you don't know how to cook.

Loni Anderson

Great place a lot of grass fed meat. Clean from front to back. Well staffed who are efficient and cheerful. The only thing was they don't carry lamb kidneys. Such a small thing I realize, however just in case you are looking for those.

Linda Di Carlo

Best wings i have ever tasted. Also try the tacos. Great food.

Cat Knaak

Jason La Marca

Excellent in every way!!!

T.J. Moffett

My favorite butcher shop in L.A. Great lunches, as well!

Mark Totten

Great sandwiches & great meat!

Carolyn Edwards

Delicious grass fed meats! Since I don't eat bread, had roast beef on wonderful greens with fresh horseradish!

AJ Malhotra

Amazing food, always great service. They have raw food too and must try. Cubano

AGNT’s Arena

Amazing sandwich!

Rory Anderson

Tasty sandwiches with a large selection of meats

Siobhan Cochrane

This butcher has really funky tasting meat! Bel campo on Wilshire and 11th is much better! Customer service is also much more efficient and friendly at Belcampos!

salour savoji

All Grass Fed meat, Expensive cuts

Ken Loyd

Spectacular. The best rib-eye I've ever had, also enjoyed the Pork Leg Sandwich, pickled onions & arugula make it really rockin'. Great space, great people, great bovine, swine and lamb; killer house made sausages too! Highly reco!

John Marcus

The best. Love it. If you have a question ask Alice she knows:)

Colin Bailey

The sandwiches are great, I’ve only had two so far and I plan on working my way through the menu one at a time.

ROBERT KAPCZYNSKI

The meat here is so good! They cut the meat exactly the way you like it.RARELY they don’t have the kind of meat you like because it’s so common and people love it so much.It’s seriously good so if you haven’t come here it’s so good,and they also serve lunch and you can buy t-shirts and hats. I am 9 and come here with my dad all the time so there’s proof.

Winston E R Baker

This place is amazing. The quality is insane. If you're making something that requires good meat A Cut Above is the best I've found in LA. Also there sandwiches are great and they have a hot dog on a pretzel bun that is both the best hot dog AND the best pretzel bun I've had in LA.

Xochitl Gonzalez

This place has everything, from oxtail to tongue to beef cheeks to pig ears, and an amazing selection of grass-fed and prime beef. Their house made bacon is the best in town. Their country pate is awesome. They carry duck fat and leaf lard and chicken schmaltz. I get a fresh goose from them every Xmas. Their brined jidori chicken is perfect for throwing in the oven to make an easy roast dinner.

Justin Brodie

Was excited, now not

Suzie Hong

This review is for the prepared deli sandwiches only - which happened to be really good and flavorful, but being in Santa Monica on the more expensive end. This place is worth trying if you want a really well done sandwich where you can tell the flavor of the meat comes from attention and care - it is definitely not a quickly thrown together sandwich as most of the types are pretty unique. As for the actual butchered meats, I have yet to try them but they seemed to be a variety of exotic meats and like you'd be paying for quality.

Ian Philips

Very special spot. An open, quaint, quality butcher shop that uses their high quality meats in sammies and the like. +1 for grass-fed beef +1 for in-house charcuterie +1 for great selection of freshly butchered meats +1 for eat-in menu, (charcuterie, sammies, salads, soup) +1 steak burger that you can eat raw -0.5 for putting blue cheese on the burger. This hid the amazing flavor of the meat. A burger like that should have a mild cheese.

Tom Wieczorek

Every sandwich I've had here was delicious and the meat selection/quality is great. Staff has been awesome as well.

Bridgette Richard

Love this place customer service is the absolute best. The Food is amazing.

Justin Keenen

Super high quality products! Expect to pay for it tho. Great stop for lunch, sandwiches and more.

Angela Fried

The quality and selection of meat is second to none. They have a pork "porker"house that never disappoints. Grass fed and dry aged steaks are always available.

Micheal Asik

The grass fed burger here is really good!

Magdalene Marvin

They were out of both ground beef and pork when I visited so it was a pretty limited selection of meat from the butcher, so I'll call ahead next time. But I enjoyed a tasty, hearty sandwich.

Sandro Straub

Great experience. Very friendly staff and they could tell you from where your meat comes. Recommendation for the burger and the baby back BBQ ribs. Price for the food is not cheap but fair.

si m

You would think they would cook the steak to perfection for you as well for the prices they are charging.

Serene Rabah

Freshest meat around. They get whole cow deliveries weekly and you can really tell it's fresh

Anton Koval'

You must try cubano sandwich and lamb pita!

Wesley Vaux

Cuban is amazing!

Robert Tessier

Good sandwiches! Meat selection and quality is top shelf. Cool extras to grab. Nice selection of beverages. Worth a visit and can fill a lot of orders explore the menu

Iliana Nabil

This butcher shop is great. I like to know where my food comes from and they offer great info about exactly that!!

James Breech

Great butcher shop serving up premium meats at premium prices. If you want a knowledgeable butcher who is going to serve you high quality meat every time, this is the place. Also a great spot to grab lunch. They make delicious sandwiches. Seating is limited to a large common table. There are additional counters where you can stand and eat.

AJ Johnson

The smoked pastrami was great.

Sam Smyers

Great little butcher/sandwhich shop. I went and had the banh mi sandwich, and it was wonderful. They also have jidori chicken which is local chicken that is slaughtered and delivered the same day.

Deborah Stenard

My favorite shop. They always have what I want, fresh, delicious, healthy meats. And they can get me special cuts and pieces. Friendly, knowledgeable staff, good prices. This shop is the BEST

Eric Garcia

Very knowledgeable butchers, needed to pick up a last minute prime rib for NYE dinner(because the local Vons and Ralph's was out) and the woman told me the difference between the dry aged and regular PR, also helped me in choosing the best part of the PR. I'll definitely be stopping by again.

Julio Tobar

Awesome Cubano sandwich

Kenneth Lin

Butcher's are always very helpful

Nickira King

This place has anything I could only wish for. My go to duck and rabbit place for holidays. Great management and great product!

Kate Marshall

Amazing, friendly, generous service. Incredible, to die for meat. I highly recommend getting at least a couple slices of their prosciutto. I have never had better in my life.

Thomas Smith

Tasty sandwich place, meats, burgers and one or two vegetarian options also. Really great butchers with wide selection of meat and helpful staff. would recommend.

Mychal Turpin

Friendly staff willing to go the extra mile. Cubano sandwiches is very tasty. Overall a little pricey, but you get quality ingredients.

Root Chakar

Best bone broth in Santa Monica i have had. Thanks cut above!

Benoît de Boursetty

Great meats, cured and fresh, as well as enormous, decadent sandwiches.

Sebastian Buck

Great traditional butcher

Winston Baker

Love ACA. Their meat is excellent. Their sandwiches are great. And it's maybe the best hotdog on the west side.

Drew Baumann

Great sandwiches and meat in this Santa Monica Butcher’s shop. I personally love the Cubano that Alice makes.

Chet Patel

Great place to go for lunch. Great selection of sandwiches.
