Reviews
I love this place! The customer service is great and the food is even better. My favorite is the brisket and smoked salmon spread . Every time that I have a social, I purchase the spread and it’s a guest favorite. I highly recommend.
If I could give this place more than 5 stars, I'd triple it EASILY! If you're lucky enough to be there while the owner (David) is there, you'll get his expert perspective on what you should get and how it'll match whatever your expectations are. The meats are tender and well seasoned. The smoked flavor isn't overbearing but enhances and adds body to the flavor of your favorite meats. There's a reason it comes so highly recommended. You can't go wrong with anything, but the chicken, spreads, and brisket are absolutely to die for. It's one of those places that isn't open every day because they don't have to be!!!!!! The vibe is very back home and it really does give friendly uncle energy. You know how some bbq spots make you feel like an idiot for not knowing the difference between sauces and heat sources? This is the opposite experience. Definitely couldn't recommend this place more highly.
What's wrong with me? I've been to the Long Beach creamery and the Bundt cake place but never tried the meat place. It seems like it was closed whenever I came to this shopping center over the years.
I have finally gone several times in the last 2 months and love it! Their smoked chicken sausage has fresh herbs that you can taste like sage and oregano and it's such a depth in the flavors -- you don't even need any BBQ sauce.
I've used the sausage for my Cajun pasta, and my New Year's black eyed peas. I've also used them in a chicken pot pie I made on Christmas.
You can't go wrong here although it's a little on the pricey side, it's worth it for fresh quality smoked meat! My new go-to!
