Alexander’s Prime Meats and Catering

Good, but be prepared to pay $$$$

One of the best meat markets I’ve been in ever. On my first trip I got some ribeyes and New York strip steaks. They were better than any steaks I had had in years, including those I’ve had at steakhouses.
For Easter I special ordered a lamb roast to feed a large group in my home. Again, it was the best lamb I had ever tasted. My guests raved about the quality of the meet.
Their prices are high, but I look forward to returning in the future to treat myself to more of the best meat I’ve ever had.

Lived in San Gabriel for 5 years and down the street was Howies. You will always receive a nice warm welcoming and amazing service. Got all our meat and chicken here and always got compliments when we hosted parties about our food.

This place is great! This is my favorite place to buy cuts of meat and seafood in the area. The guys behind the counter are also great. old school butchers who know their meat and how to cook it. I usually get the Harris Ranch filet mignons. they are excellent! They also have good roasts, fresh cut bacon and a good selection of seafood. I have also called ahead and ordered peeled shrimp. All of the meat looks fresh and clean there. it is a nice treat to visit this great meat market compared to other local super markets. You wont be disappointed!

Alexander’s provided amazing food and service for an event of 100 guests. The setup and presentation was very elegant. We received many complements from guests.
Denise, Mike, and their staff were absolutely wonderful.

This place is the reason why I no longer crave to go to a five star steak house like Mastro’s, Ruth Chris, etc.
They have PRIME graded steaks that also go through a DRY-​AGED process of 28 days. I’ve tried their sirloin, rib-​eye, and their filet mignon cuts. Everytime I grill with friends, I get praised for being a really good grill-​master, but little do they know the better the quality of ingredient makes for a much better outcome ;)
Not the cheapest butcher shop, but this is one place you really get what you pay for. Nothing here is half-​assed.

I will buy more steaks here rather than buying diamonds when I need to splurge.
Instead of going steak house, I decided to buy and cook steaks for the family gathering on Saturday evening. This was my first time to visit and I was so surprised of the variety of the meat and the butchers both. Inside the Howie Ranch Market, they have every kind of meat in huge cases. The price tag is also unreal because all of them are prime meat. The butchers are also professional and experienced for many decades. I got out proudly with some New York steaks and filet mignon.
When I threw the party on dinner time, no one said any word in my family. Just worshipping. Holding forks and knives in their hands, and lifting their faces to the sky with tears in their eyes, they thanked God for eating this steak in our life time.
As a meat lover, I always looking for the best steak house and have been so many places around the world. Some steaks are crunch, some steaks are meaty or chewy. But this steak is the culmination what I looking for even though I cooked them myself. Very tender and flavorful. It’s speechless.
We had a great family gathering with full of joy^^

My friend usually gets his Tri-​tip from Alexander’s Prime Meats & it’s delicious. I was planning a BBQ for my dad’s 80^th birthday and decided to splurge. I needed Flat Iron Steaks for my dry rub steak with Chimichurri sauce recipe. My husband and I went down to check it out the week prior to the big party. They didn’t have Flat Iron Steaks in the display case so we spoke to the butcher. He told us that they have Harris Ranch Flat Iron Steaks in the freezer in the back and that they always have them. We came back to purchase them the day before the party. Yes it’s spendy but our friends and family are worth it. The Flat Iron Steaks were cooked to medium rare perfection and everyone loved it!

Located inside Howie’s Ranch Market…
We went shopping for steaks here on Father’s day. Did it break the bank? Yes, but it was worth every bite of it. I’m no where near a snob, but my taste buds know when it’s good quality meat. Think about it, we would have probably spent way more money at those steak houses.
The butcher has the meats displayed and they’ll recommend the size and cut depending on your preferences. They were totally spot on, because we didn’t want to end up with too much meat for a perfect Father’s day dinner. Our butcher was super patient and was rather nice in helping us select our meats, because we were clueless.
We threw it on the grill and with the seasoning they recommended, it was out of this world. Tender, juicy, flavorful and it was just perfect. We got some T-​bone steaks for the fathers and two other cuts just to mix it up. They threw in the seasoning for free and once we run out, we’re buying the bigger jar.

Alexander’s is awesome. You do not find anything even close to this butchers shop anywhere around. This is straight Americana at its best. They are located in Howie’s Ranch Market on San Gabriel Blvd. Enter the market skip over everything do not stop until you are at the back corner. They carry nothing but the best cuts and quality of everything. My only regret is that they do not have a second location out in the La Verne, San Dimas, Rancho Cucamonga area. Locally I found a good butcher shop but nothing I mean nothing beats Alexander’s. I love the old school stainless Walk in Fridge Doors where you can see the sides of beef hanging through the glass and the old school Meat cases with meats either in a plain you season it yourself form or in a variety of Lindberg Snider Seasoning and Marinades. This is the way it was when
I was a kid and this is the way it is now. If you want the real deal and only the best then this is it. I just beg Alexander’s to open a location out here in one of the above listed areas so those kids that grew up going to Alexander’s can give their kids the same experience. By the way if you are cheap and do not appreciate quality meats or the price you have to pay for them don’t bother yourself. Go to Stater Brothers and be happy. If you do ever make it into Alexander’s there is no turning back and I doubt you will ever eat another steak or tri tip without thinking was that as good as Alexander’s would have been. Love you guys please open a location out my way please please please

I love going here for their prime meat selection. They offer USDA Prime and they dry age their steaks to increase its flavor.
I have always enjoyed the customer butcher relationship that you see in movies or whatever and you can get that here at Alexander’s.
I picked up a few steaks and they were extremely helpful with suggestions and recommendations. They even knew which cut from the rib eye would be tender and which would taste more beefy. They even offered a small sample of their in house steak seasoning. The sample was a ridiculously generous amount that I ended up using it for several cooks.
My steaks were delicious. Steak house quality meat at a fraction at the cost.

tasty corn beef & soups! love them

I go NO WHERE ELSE for my meats, poultry or fish. No where.
That is all.

All I can say is great steaks with awesome customer service. It was my first time picking up two dry aged steaks but it won’t be my last. As others have noted, it may be expensive, but it’s worth every penny

This is the only store where I get the meat to make the Korean galbi because of the quality and price compared to any where else. The asian markets charge a lot more for a lot less of both quantity and quality. I love getting the personal one on one attention and never getting that feeling to rush in and out without being able to ask questions. These guys are more than happy to take their time to answer any questions and even give recipe suggestions if needed. I love the quality of their steaks too. No need to go out and over spend at a steak house when you can grill up some better quality steak at home! Everything about this store is 5 stars!

Just dropped in for some Prime Dry aged steaks. I got the Porter House for $ 21.99/lb. and some Angus Top Sirloin at $ 12.99/lb.
Great prices and everyone is super friendly and helpful.
**A secret of the San Gabriel Valley for Prime Dry Aged Beef!
Say Howdy to Gene or Mark.

I’ve been coming here for a few years now. The staff is courteous & knowledgeable. The meats are the best around. If there is something you want and don’t see in the case, just ask. They will prepare it for you. Nobody else has this level of customer service.

Alexander’s is a wonderful butcher: high quality meats, great service, etc. They’re the classical kind, too: knowledgable men in white coats, using big rolls of butcher paper and a grease pencil to write the price on the outside. Every time I go, I want to buy things I hadn’t been thinking of making… although I generally buy prime dry-​aged steaks and roasts when I go, the pork and veal look great as well. And like any good butcher, they will prepare what you want, how you want it. And if you want something non-​standard, they’ll do that, too.
But at the end of the day, the only thing that really matters is the quality of the meat. Until I finally went to Alexander’s, after years of people telling me there was no other choice in the greater Pasadena area, I was buying my dry-​aged steaks at Whole Foods. There’s really no comparison. Although it’s more expensive, the dry-​aged prime at Alexander’s, which is almost the proverbial 11on the dial, is the best around.

If you are serious about your meat, this is the place to be.
The service here is phenomenal! All of the butchers here are really friendly and knowledgeable and ready to help you prepare the best dish you can. They really care about their work and making sure you have the best cut of meat so take the time to get to know them and talk to them about your next cooking project.
The meat here is definitely top quality and they cater to what you want.

The finest quality product. Still has that old timey butcher selection and appeal. This is a treasure. I wish more places like this still existed. Beats the pants off of the stuffy pretensous (sp) Meat House.

We drove all over the SGV area looking for suet to make a traditional British steak and kidney pudding. The stuff was right under our noses the whole time at Alexander’s. They also carry beef kidney, which is pretty hard to find. The service was great and the staff was friendly and knowledgeable. We’ll be back!

We were involved with an event catered by Alexander’s. The quality of the food was excellent. Delicous sandwiches– especially the tri tip. Unbelievably good. They also had wonderful salads and fresh fruit.
Perhaps I’m not the first to make this observation, but the food at most catered events is pretty pathetic. Inedible, even! This was the exception to the rule.
CAUTION, though: these guys are very expensive. Just keep that in mind. You get great quality, but YEEEOW on the prices. Don’t say you haven’t been warned!

There is very few places in Los Angeles that carries Harris Ranch Prime (if you want Harris Ranch Choice, the largest selection is at the japanese markets). This place does. I would rank them as one of the top butcher in the area (Orchard’s Fresh in Whittier is good along with some others).

We love Alexander’s! Our employees at Spa Xanadu always cater out from them. The quality of meat is amazing, and affordable. The customer service we recieve each time we place an order is amazing. Hands down the only place we go to get out meats
.

It was only recently that I found this place and now I pretty much refuse to buy meat or seafood anywhere else. You WILL pay a premium, but it is worth it. The people are nice, they will answer any questions you have, and they won’t try and upsell you if you don’t know what you want. I’m big on Texas style Brisket and these are the best I’ve made when I buy here. Slow smoked over hickory and pecan and you will have a great time.
I can’t say enough good things about this place; just go here.
