Excellent food! Love going here for a great sandwich. Friends really enjoy getting fresh thick bacon at least once a month. Its really handy for anyone who gets the fresh vegetable boxes, as it is an easy location for picking those up

Great sandwiches besides probably the best butchered meats in Santa Maria. Pricey cuts but Santa Maria is known for BBQ and grilling - opt for their best cuts and savor a wonderful evening with your grill and wine - worth perhaps the extra cost.

This is a great butcher and deli. We stopped for sandwiches on our way back from the Bay Area. Mainly because we needed gas at the Costco, which is close by. We were surprised with the quality of the sandwiches and the friendliness of the staff. It is now on our to stop at list on our frequent trips up and down Hwy 101!

If you want high quality meat...this is the place. We bought a 1/2 a Turkey Breast for Christmas Dinner it was moist and flavor full. Our whole family was very impressed. We have bought Tri-tip and ham from here in the past and as always they have the highest quality of meats in town.

My family and I had left Los Angeles earlier that day and decided that this time we would take 101 back home to the Bay Area instead of taking highway 5. This day was somewhat of a mistake to take the 101 freeway as it was a torrential rainstorm hitting the state. Upon our travels northbound we were able to stop through Solvang, Ca. Which my wife thoroughly loved. As we further proceeded towards the Bay Area we realized that none of us had eaten since earlier in the morning as the thoughts of getting home were the utmost importance. But at the same time hunger pangs started to set in. What to do at this point, as my wife and I just had set our fate earlier in the morning on settling on fast food on the way home. It was easy and it would get the job done with the children and we could get on our way without any time lost. Time lost was the question that needed to be answered. We were traveling through the state and skipping all that was special about it. We had yes, stopped in Solvang. But what else was there that we could visit that represents our state? As we proceeded northbound I noticed that we were headed towards Santa Maria. As a barbecue aficionado, I realized that I have never made the trip towards the California BBQ mecca of Santa Maria. I have smoked briskets, pork shoulders, prime rib roasts, chicken, salmon, tri tips, and grilled steaks incessantly since I was 9 years old. I love barbecue, regardless of where it is from. But I had never made the homage to my own California's BBQ namesake. We initially were going to head to the Elks Lodge in Santa Maria which has been featured in many shows on television. Waze which is an amazing app decided to pinpoint that location in the middle of the 101 highway. We were somewhat confused and ridiculously flabbergasted on how it would tell us to stop in the highway. We noticed a Harley Davidson symbol off of the side of the freeway (as a rider and owner of a couple of these bikes we always see this as a safe haven). The rain at this point had become relentless. It had been raining since we left LA in the morning and it was still raining at this time, yet it was raining harder now. The town of Santa Maria seemed flooded, I was happy as we were able to ford areas of deep water with our Bronco Sport that seemed to trouble some other vehicle's. The great staff of the HD dealership Santa Maria were kind as expected (Another Review). They gave us directions to the Santa Maria Elks Club. We left the dealership and arrived to the Elks Club only to find that Yelp and Google shows them as open, yet the bar is only open and they are not open for food. Struggling to find a place to eat in a slowly flooding town, we checked online and found Woody's Butcher Block. We were tired and hungry, so we decided to make the trek to the Butchers Block. When we arrived the entire street in front of it was flooded, it was complicated on getting into the parking lot. But once we were in we noticed that we were staring at an actual butchers shop. I was excited. Stand alone butcher shops like this one were hard to find, in my era in the Bay Area Bobby Lee's Country Smokehouse used to be the last true butcher shop that I can remember. His food while amazing was more based in Louisiana though. We approached the counter to order we told the clerk what we wanted and looking at our family he asked if we wanted an actual sit down restaurant. This was awesome as we were new to this area, he offered us options! We had already decided that we wanted to try this place. We ordered 3 tri-tip sandwiches and one pastrami (wife). We took one of the two tables that were offered to us, and once we received our sandwiches we were amazed. The tri-tip was amazing. They were soft and warm, with great beef flavor with a tinge of the red oak smoke that Santa Maria is known for. We were offered some packaged sweet baby rays bbq sauce with the sandwiches. They did not need it. I even considered purchasing some red oak to take home to make my own Santa Maria style beef. I ended up wandering around looking a

I called the shop and talked to the owner about a ham for Christmas. He told me he had great hams cured great flavor. Because of waiting on surgery I had my husband drive me over only to be told the only ham that was available was a deli looking Smithfield ham looked like a ham they cut for sandwiches. Bad on me 75.00 later I got the ham but very disappointed that I was led to believe the choices were more than a deli ham for Christmas. So Lompoc, vandenberg wouldn't use this market.

We stopped by looking for a great trip tip sandwich. The guys working there were very helpful and attentive. I wish I could be as enthusiastic about the sandwich. It was not huge but adequate. My disappointment lay in the lack of flavor. There wasn't anything to it but a basic beef flavor, unlike other sandwiches I've enjoyed. Where was the seasoning? Fortunately we had some Barbeque sauce; otherwise it would have been very bland. I'll probably eat only one tri tip sandwich on this visit to the Central Coast and I found myself disappointed that this had been the one. I was looking forward to a very tasty experience. I didn't find it here. Sorry, Woody!

This place is an absolute overrated, over priced joke. Got a tri tip and a pastrami sandwich for $16 each and I got a small sandwich that looked like it was for a kids meal. I will never recommend this garbage spot to anyone and will steer people towards other places that give you better quality for better prices. If you eat here regularly, you're a moron.

Food was ok, but way overpriced, and they're not really set up for anyone wanting to eat on site: lack utensils, napkins, plates, condiments, straws, cups and ice for drinks, etc.

Wow. My first time here from SFV. Fresh bread and great service from Carlos. He suggested the Tri tip sandwich. He wasn't wrong. With the home made salsa. It's super clean and organized. I will make this a for sure spot to drop in to eat from now on. Thank you so much Carlos. Drove in to visit my mom from SFV. Loved it here. Peace.

We know that Santa Maria is the birthplace of Tri-Tip so we wanted to try their tri-tip sandwich and it was delicious!!We got it to go and they gave us BBQ sauce to dip it in and it was an amazing combo!! The meat was tender enough and tasted so good mixed with the BBQ sauce. The bread was toasted perfectly and very buttery :0)Would come back here! They also had cute decor and a clean bathroom.
