Warren’s Market

Stay away from this previously great market. They don’t have enough customers to rotate their stock. I pursued two candy bars, both were terribly stale. I would be very afraid of the rest of the inventory.

Last time I visited was indeed, the last time I will ever visit and I let that be known and why as I walked out.
It hit my nostrils when I walked in the door; the store now has an unsavory odor.
With Dan gone, and a new owner, the place has gone other world, the meat downhill to the bottom.
Though raised on a farm on which we raised our own meat, I didn’t recognize a single exotic cut of meat in the display case, plus, the identifiers were written in a foreign language. When asked for an explanation of various unrecognizable cuts, the speech of the two meat cutters behind the counter was indecipherable to me. When I asked where the roasts, etc., were, one of the lads went into the back and brought out an over the hill looking slab of meat wrapped in plastic wrap.
I finally said, «this just won’t do,» and left. I wouldn’t trust the dodgy looking meat at any price.
As another poster said, RIP Warren’s Market.

I went looking for the phone number for Warren’s & was surprised to see the lousy rating, albeit for only 2 reviewers. I realize the store has changed hands and it might be taking the new owners time to work out the kinks, and yes, I too miss Dan the Butcher, but c’mon, the meat is still great! I cannot buy ground sirloin anywhere else in town & get such lean tasty beef! The new butcher (s) are very courteous & they’re catching on fast! I’ve also found the new owners to be very friendly; I don’t think some people give them a chance — or maybe they’re just predjudiced against East Indian store owners… so hey people, if you go for quality meats Warren’s (& other butcher shops) will still beat every supermarket around.

Got some rib eye’s and a tri tip, both were spendy but good quality.

This was a Yuba City landmark for decades, largely because of Dan the Incredible Butcher and his perfectly aged & trimmed gourmet meats, hard-​to-​find items, like the local-​made Remoulade Sauce and Tomato-​Basil dressings, gourmet BBQ sauces, fresh crab… BUT NO MORE!
The place sold a month or so ago. The new owners got rid of Dan and most of what he stocked: the stuff people like us regularly made special pilgrimages from miles away to get.
Now— its fast degrading into «just another over-​priced, Indian-​owned convenience store,» where the service is rude at best because management has neither care nor respect for the customers.
Holiday dinners will never be the same at a lot of Yuba-​Sutter homes, without the 1500 lbs. of velvety prime rib Dan stocked in for us on holidays, and his recipe suggestions. Never again will I see Warrens’ caller ID on my cell phone because Dan is calling to let me know «the fresh Dungeness crab is in, how many do I want?» and he’ll put by a jar of Remoulade Sauce and a sack of ice for me till I pick it up during lunch hour, so it stays good in my ice chest till I get it home after work.
RIP Warren’s Neighborhood Market. We miss you.
