Beef Palace Butcher Shop

I had the good fortune to have sampled many a barbeque and luncheon featuring meats from the Beef Palace. The quality is absolutely the best, I just wish I lived closer; I’d be purchasing my barbeque and lunch meats here every weekend. The owner is just one heck of a nice guy and he really cares about his products.

This place has the most friendly people around let alone a butcher shop. They have free samples, instructions on how to cook their meats. Also, a great selection of meat, poultry and pork. The quality is the best, I have not been disappointed yet, and will continue to go there as much as my wife will let me. Keep up the great work guys and girls!!!

FREE POTATOES when you buy meat… but that’s not all that’s awesome about this place
When you walk in, it’s like a u shaped layout of meat on display. From the right side you have your beef, sausages, deli meat and other items. the mid section is more meat and chicken, then to the left is your pork and then more meat of other sorts.
In between there are bbq items, sauces, wood chips, snacks, etc etc… I was really impressed by the selection and also the price! We got a 3 lbs cut of filet mignon for our beef wellington with some prosciutto and it came out to $ 37 and some change.
More importantly, the gentleman who was helping us out was very friendly, knowledgeable, and patient with us. There were other people waiting to get helped but I didn’t feel rushed or crowded at all. Our guy helped us out until we were good with our selection, answered all of our questions, then rung us up.
Because of the pleasant experience we continuously get here, I’ve recommended them to all of my friends and family and now YOU!
Come on in and give them a try for your next BBQ event– you’ll be a returning customer just like me!

We visited the Beef Palace today at 5:45 pm

However, it was CLOSED and the lights were out !
There were Closed and Open signs at the top left of the double doors. Confusing !
The hours were also posted and the Wednesday hours said 10 am to 7 pm
WHAT HAPPENED? THERE WAS NO NOTICE OF ANY SORT AS TO WHY THEY WERE CLOSED OR IF THERE ARE NEW HOURS !!! HOW DISCOURTEOUS !!!
In addition, your double right door appeared to be only partially locked? It seamed some left in a hurry?

Been here more than a few times over the years, top quality brisket, chuck roast, bacon, pork ribs, Italian sausage and ground beef. Excellent variety overall, also poultry, deli meats and cheeses. Haven’t tried a dry-​aged rib-​eye yet, I’m sure it would be fantastic. You can almost always grab a couple of huge Idaho russet potatoes on your way out for free. Customer service is superb.

I love the Beef Palace! They have hands down the best cuts of meat around. The quality is premium. I don’t come here for all of my meat, because it definitely is pricey, but for a special occasion the price is worth it. We keep their house seasoning in our house at all times and use it on everything, because it’s so good. My favorite meat to buy here are the Filet Mignon Kabobs. They are already marinated and sooooooo delicious. They are a cash only place, which can be inconvenient, but this place is awesome.

This place is amazing! I’ve only been here a handful of times for their pepper sausage — AMAZING and of course a good aged rib eye. They carry different kinds of cuts of meat, chicken, pork, seafood, breads, they even make their own dry rubs you can purchase. Its a bit pricey but they purchase their meat local which is a huge plus and its always the best.

Do not go here! They sold me a rotten piece of steak. I gave them a second chance and they tried selling me another one!
First time-​I walked in and asked trusted them to give me their best piece filet. When I home it was dark brown and rotten! Tried cooking it and my husband tasted it, confirmed that it was rotten. Tasted like it was already fermenting.
Second chance-​I asked for a special cut ahead of time and they walked out with two pieces: one bright red, one dark brown and rotten. I said «are you kidding me?!» and left. Once again, tried selling a rotten piece of steak.
I really wanted to like this place because we live so close but they are horrible.

I wish there was something interesting or witty to write about this place. It’s the best!!! I don’t think it is possible to get bad product &/​or service here

This is definitely my kind of store! Excellent selection and great customer service give me many reasons to come back.
This visit — I love the cows outside of the building. Seeing this gave me a good feeling that I was going to enjoy this store. After walking around and surveying all of the choices, I decided on 2 10 oz. filets for my home grilled valentines day dinner ($ 20.99/LB). I requested to have 2 steaks cut instead of choosing anything pre-​cut, and before I knew it the person helping me was right on it. They offered multiple different seasonings (always something interesting to try) that my wife really enjoyed. Upon checking out, they offered me potatoes to go with the steaks. I asked for two, and I could tell they were surprised I asked for only two! Saved me a trip to the grocery store and was unexpected.
Verdict — The filets were awesome (was it my grilling or just quality steaks? :)) ! I will definitely be returning for a future weekend celebration.
Note — this shop is cash only (expected) so don’t forget!

It’s the best butcher shop ever. It’s a man cave of meat and the service is old school top quality too.
Don’t bother with anywhere else.

Finding the right butcher is like finding the right man when it comes to meat. You want someone who’s meat is the best quality in taste, texture, and size. You want your meat clean and fresh, and always the best. Needless to say, I found the right butcher for all my meat needs.

I just died and went to the Palace of HEAVEN!!! I’m liking the OC more and more everyday! I now know the answer to the age old question– where’s the BEEF? Beef Palace OF COURSE! This little Butcher Shop is in an unassuming little strip mall. I think I stool outside in awe for a few minutes when I first discovered this apparently well known long standing establishment. Currently taking turkey orders for Thanksgiving so naturally I walked in and placed mine! And more importantly inquired about some Christmas Prime Rib! Orders won’t be taken for this until the day after Thanksgiving (mental note). They also carry Goose, Duck, Lamb, Kobe, in addition to beef, pork, etc. I’m in love with this place already! The young man that helped us was friendly an knowledgeable. Will be updating this review soon with the final products!

I am addicted to the Beef Palace «Kobe Tri-​tip» with the Bourdalaise marinade, and if you like sausages try the «Palace Pepper» sausages. Stop buying your ground beef at the supermarket, Beef Palace grinds their’s daily and it’s the same price but VERY FRESH. I can’t say enough good things about this place. If you don’t believe me just read everyone else’s reviews.
I am a Beef Palace customer for life!

Stopped in last weekend after 6 months of trying to get there! First class service all the way. I got an aged cowboy cut ribeye for an extremely amazing price, tasted all the samples and found out one cool shop secret! We had the best ribeye dinner the next day! Thanks guys– here’s a link on me cooking it!

Hands down, the best butcher shop. From OC to LA county. My Husband cooks our tritip, and rib eye steaks! God forbid, I attempt and burn the cow. Lol
Highly recommended by the Diaz Familia. We will never buy meat from Stater Bros. again.
Also, love the cheese spread!
Very clean, and very knowledgable staff.
Kudos to you all.

I’ve been living in SF for the past five years… For the last year and a half or so, I have been buying meat from here every time I’m home and feel like cooking. I’ve never tried cooking with meat bought from normal grocery stores for several reasons. 1) My family never cooks. We eat out for every meal, which brings me to point 2) while the meat here is prohibitively expensive for others, it ends up costing less or the same as eating in a restaurant for my family. What’s great is that I can make as much as we’ll eat in one sitting vs ordering each person an entrée and bringing home tons of leftovers. Food is always fresh when we cook at home (which is a very rare treat)!
I wouldn’t say I’m an amazing cook, but I can follow a recipe pretty well. I’ve had so many compliments every time I cook beef or pork from here that it makes me question whether I’m just that awesome or if the quality saves my dishes. There’s only been one instance where my entrée didn’t come out how I wanted. It was a prime rib, pretty small at around 4 pounds? I followed their roasting instructions and I found that it came out a little more medium and dry than I would’ve liked. It was an expensive $ 100 that I dropped and I’ve been a little wary of trying my hand at it again… But even then I still got rave reviews about it so that must count for something! My dad is actually a phenomenal cook and owns a restaurant and even he noticed the beef’s quality when I made steaks last night. My dad’s comment is actually what prompted me to even leave this review!
Every single person I’ve interacted with here has been phenomenal. They’re extremely patient and kind when I stand there blocking people’s way or perusing and unsure of what to get. They’re always so happy and are a pleasure to interact with. The only downside is cash only, but you can always run into the market nearby and make a purchase with your debit card and get cash back (saves you ATM fee).

On Tuesdays (my day off from work), I cook for my 99-​year-​old grandma, who lives at my mom’s place in Seal Beach. Now, my grandma is not your average 99-​year-​old lady. When you think of someone who’s about to hit the century mark, you think of someone who can barely taste anything anymore, whose teeth have gone the way of old age and someone who probably needs a maid to feed her.
My grandma is not that lady. She regularly demands steak, not only so she can talk up a storm about how great her teeth are, but because she just likes beef. Here’s the other weird thing: she likes her steaks well done.
So I, as a subpar cook and also as someone who spares no expense when it comes to cooking for the woman who practically raised him until he was a teenager, rely on my ingredients — and Beef Palace has as good a selection of steaks as you’ll find in Huntington Beach, or Seal Beach, or Cypress, or Garden Grove or any other butcher outside of those bearing the names Lindy, Gussman, Marconda or Belcampo (or that shady Japanese outpost with A-​5 Wagyu in Gardena that will remain unnamed for legal reasons).
Just about every other Tuesday for the past couple months, I’ve been coming to Beef Palace, and the folks here are not only friendly and knowledgeable, they’ve got some pretty decent pricing on higher quality cuts. Whether it’s cubing some filet for shaken beef or a nice mini filet that’s just enough for grandma’s appetite, I count on these guys to get it right. Is it pricey? Yes, but have you seen the marbling on some of these cuts? Do you realize that supermarkets treat their meat with something bordering on contempt when they spray it with food coloring to give it that unnerving, shocking raw-​red exterior? That most filets, including the ones at Whole Foods, have near-​depressingly low levels of marble in all of their cuts?
I know, I know: The filet is the Dane Cook of steaks. But we’re talking about grandma, and if she wants her steaks cooked well done, the only thing I feel good about giving her is filet. And so the friendly folks at Beef Palace will cut that filet as thick as you need it, whether it’s cubed, an two-​inch-​thick steak, or even in thin little roast cuts. They will do it without passing judgment, mansplaining, or telling you «what [you] really want to do/​get.» In short, they aren’t the self-​important types. For a machismo-​dominated profession, the butchers at Beef Palace really seem genuinely concerned with putting the focus on you and what you need, instead of pointing to how knowledgeable they are (they are very knowledgeable) or upselling you or «accidentally» cutting something a little too thick.
Nah, they give you exactly what you want without any drama and some free potatoes, if you want. And I gotta tell you, when my grandma takes a bite of her steak and tells me no one makes it like I make it, it’s worth every damn dollar I spent here.

Called day before going asking about femur bones for dogs.
Young man answered, very sweet, not put off by weird question. Explained they always have bones for dogs and femurs were $ 15.
Today, my mother and i walked in. Greeted by all. Very sweet.
Showed us the huge bones. Asked us about our huge dogs. Lol. Very sweet guys making light conversation.
Shop is well organized, very welcoming, smells delicious!
Will return. Thank you Gentlemen for the kind service!

Its Five Star Friday finally!
And for my Five Star review, I wanted to share a: WhereTF have I been strikes again review!!! I can’t believe this was the first time I bought meat from Beef Palace. I mean the place has been opened since 1970, and I have lived in Huntington Beach for a while. BP is located at Warner & Springdale in HB.
I didn’t pick up the 11lb, bone-​in prime rib for a special occasion. However, my cuz told me BP not only has prime beef (vs choice beef at markets), they also offer cured meats, cheese and breads. I cooked the $ 198 (11 x $ 17.99/lb), prime rib that came seasoned and trussed. In addition, they also gave us 5 gigantic potatoes for free. You can have as many potatoes as you want w/​purchase. The person who helped my cuz was super helpful. He also gave advice on how much meat to buy per person (1lb), and how long to cook it (2 hours). His advice was spot on, because there were 9 of us, and 2 lbs remained as leftovers. Additionally, the meat came out medium rare as desired.
The prime rib was effin excellent!!! It was perfectly seasoned, and had the right amount of fat. The meat was much better quality vs the one I purchased at Ralphs. I had an end cut w/​creamy horseradish and a rib. I was in meat heaven!!! In addition, the potatoes fully dressed (bacon, butter, sour cream & green onions), were outstanding. They were fresh and not dried out.
Neighborhood butchers are always a better option vs your local market. The workers know their product better, and offer better service. The major difference is the quality of the meat and prime vs choice is worth the price. I rarely eat red meat, so I can afford to buy my steaks & other items from BP. However, bring cash or check, because no credit cards are accepted.
