Hottinger Family Meats

Wrong packet order given to me after I drove an hour both ways! Check your box of meats before paying! Don’t trust they can hear you or see the package choice you are pointing at on the flyer. So disappointed got a bunch of chicken instead if T bone steak. Otherwise I like the meats! The chicken pieces look nasty and not packed like the vacuum packed beef. Very dissatisfied… I called and she very apologetic but now I have to return the stuff if I want– we’ll see how the meat tastes that ended up getting for $ 65.00 I could buy chicken legs and pork strips at stater brothers cheaper.

Great people all the way around. Fresh meat is always great in my book. Lots of variety of sausages.

The best service I’ve ever received from any place I’ve been in a long time. They know their meat and they’ll let you know how to cook it or bbq it. They have samples and you should ask for a taste. They know know what’s up. Talk to the tatted up skinny kid. If I remember correctly big holes for ear rings. You’ll get good help from him I promise you. I can’t say more about this place other than try it you won’t be disappointed. I promise you.

Ben Hottinger is an artisan of his trade! He shares his knowledge for custom cut and wrap and makes the process very easy. Bought a ½ cow from 5 Bar Beef processed at Hottinger. Beef for family is home in the freezer perfectly vacuum wrapped and labeled. Yum

Best meats in town and great customer service!

I have been going to Hottingers for over 30 years and never once have i had a bad experience when I lived in Ontario and raised my animals he would process my beef and pork sense moving to San Pedro I would still travel down to Chino on a regular basis just to buy the Santa maria Tri Tip and rib eye filet minion steaks. when i lived in Ontario Ben had donated his time and 5 pigs that he smoked for our children poker run for Friends of France which was a school dedicated to handy cap children. Hottinger meat locker has the freshest meats of anywhere in southern ca so as far as a James R having a bad experience buy a bone for his dog and giving him a 2 stars maybe you should try one of his Tri Tips or steaks and rewrite your review I now live in Temecula and still go to Hottingers to buy all my beef and pork. and as far as cahiers they have always been kind and honest Thank You

Love the Tri-​Tip! It’s DELICIOUS! The carne asada is really good too. The chicken is just ok (and I usually love chicken). We try to get our meat here when ever we have a big BBQ. If you haven’t been here and you BBQ you’re missing out.

Hottingers processed 2 pugs for Elite Electric for our company BBQ. Awesome service.

Have been coming here since I was a child. 15 years later I drive out from Fontana to get meat here. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND tri-​tip Santa Maria flavored. Friendly people at the meat counter gave me a handout on how to properly cook Tri tip. (I bbq mine and it’s amazing) also Carne Asada is fantastic. I love how product comes ready packaged in 3 and 5 lbs. Love coming here and keep up the GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE

Just now chowing down on a chop from a pig that Hottinger’s processed for us. Talk about pure, porky goodness! Excellent service, friendly people, reasonable prices, and quality meats. Yes, it’s hog heaven.

First time here. First impression was 5 star, just based on the freshness in the air! My dads closest friend comes here a lot for knuckle for her dog and insisted my father start coming here as well. I have intentions on coming back, once our pool is done. Hopefully then I won’t have to deal with such a passive aggressive cashier.
After paying for my dog treat, I asked a question. It was then that I realized I had purchased a smoked knuckle, as opposed to a raw. The cashier thoughtlessly gave me a lecture about the difference between smoked and raw. Assuming I didn’t know what raw meat/​bone looked like is pretty careless as me honestly not paying attention to what i was grabbing.
Thank you for the lovely experience!

Always great service, helpful behind the counter and at checkout, dog bones are amazing I get them cut in half so the babies have easy access to that marrow. Asad is always a nice treat for the grill crowd, but I go for the beautiful marble steaks. Hard to find but once you do, you’ll never forget. I stop by anytime I’m in the neighborhood.

Had the Beef Bratwurst the best flavor ever .Have tried the Tri Tip it’s moth watering, will be a return customer for sure.

They have everything you can think of and nice people too!

I had heard nothing but good reviews from other People, but Hottingers Rates a ZERO in my Book. First, I called ahead on Monday, a Gentleman by the Name of BEN, who claimed to be the Owner took my order. I asked for 3 large Tri-​Tips He recommended the Santa Maria Style So I gave him my name and PH# I show up today @ 9:30 stood in line and they had no record of my Order. It was bad enough to not have my order, I was not too happy, told the girl at the register, and Her Comment was“We are selling $ 200 roast, your order is not as significant Well this is the FIRST & LAST TIME I WILL EVER SHOP AT THIS PLACE. You are not the only Game in TOWN

Cannot wait to serve Hottinger’s rib eye roast (boneless prime rib) on Christmas Day. The whole family looks forward to it– even Diva, my dog. Hottinger’s folks behind the counter are just awesome– so very helpful. Had to give 3 stars because the cashiers forgot to put the cooking instructions in my bag, so I called and asked them to upload a picture to Unilocal,she said she would upload to Google, but it never happened. I tried calling back, but never got through. I drove from Riverside to Chino to get them, and my gift to all foodies is a picture of the instructions to save you time and hassle. Merry Christmas!

This is one of those places you’ll never discover unless you live in the area. But if you’re in the area, stop by and pick up some sausages and different types of meats for your freezer. Don’t let the run down exterior of this place fool you. This place gets packed!
In addition to sausages, they’re known for their pre-​marinated meats like tri-​tips. My favorite item is the green chili chicken sausages. Because they’re vacuum sealed and frozen, you can store them for months if they even last that long. :)

Because I’m on a budget I buy certain things in bulk. Not like Costco’s or Sam’s club big. Bigger. The best thing I ever did was to purchase a ¼ cow fresh butchered. There is no meat like it. I don’t like beef from the market, it doesn’t have the same fresh taste. It’s been a while since I did this. But I am about to purchase another freezer and I will be there to purchase beef and pork. Put in a nice large order before the holidays or get a family member to go in on a ¼ or ½ cow and pig. You will be more than ready for the holidays and a little more.
Ok, I put pricey down on the money portion. But you really get quality stuff. Take it from a couponer who holds up an entire line at Walmart. Get your meat from here.

As old school butcher shops go, this place is a dying breed. My parents came here all during my childhood and would buy a side of beef and have it cut up to suit their needs. I come here now as an adult and am so grateful they are still around.
Every time I come in, I learn more and more about the cuts of meat from the great butchers and I appreciate how they take the time to explain things. The grocery store is so limited on their cuts and at Hottingers you can be sure you will get what you need for what you want to make.
They also have a great little deli section and TO DIE FOR twice baked potatoes !!!

This will be my go to place for my steaks and anything meat!!! What a find… I had no idea this place existed… They have the most beautiful looking meat in town. Just the right marbeling and color. I was lucky to have Daniel help me out behind the counter where I picked up some great looking spencer steaks and top sirloin… They hand cut your steaks to order, that’s what I call service. He was very informative courteous and gave me a little history behind this place, they have buffalo meat patties as well as an amazing assortment of in house made sausages from chicken, bratwurst polish bangers… It’s a fools paradise if your a T-​REX like me. I am coming back for their weekend taste sampling…
If you enjoy a good steak you need to make the drive out here and treat yourself to some amazing beef…
