Mammoth Butcher - Mammoth Lakes, California

Phenomenal butcher shop in the heart of Mammoth Lakes village! The butcher and staff are incredibly accommodating and knowledgeable. They offer a large selection of gorgeous cuts of meat from Harris Ranch. They have a wide variety of seafood. The shop also offers a gorgeous selection of cheese and cured meats. Their salsas are house made! When you come into the store, you are greeted with bins of beans and dried chilis to help you prepare your exquisite meal!

A must stop shop! I’ve gotten so many things from this shop and never been disappointed. Their sandwiches are juicy and tasty, the ceviche is so fresh, and the meats are top quality. My favorites are the Tri tip sandwhich, and the pre marinated pork we use for tacos, and then use the leftovers in eggs. We’ve also loved trying their hot sauces, and have become obsessed with their house made salsas, and the brand of chipotle salsa they carry. The absolute best thing they sell though, in my opinion, is the bacon. I could eat that bacon all day and all night. Do yourself a favor and make this a regular spot to snag all your meat needs!

This is a review of their Deli Sandwiches, not as a butcher.

I really wanted to like the food because I love small businesses with unique twists. A stranger on a hike recommended them for sandwiches, so we tried them...

$16 for a sandwich is steep, especially for to-go only service. We had a tri-tip and a beef sandwich. The beef was EXTREMELY salty and no depth of flavor. Tri-tip was okay, same one note flavor. But the biggest problem is that there are no complimentary flavors in the sandwich. It has mayonnaise, cheese, avocado meat, some raw onions on a buttery bread with a very spicy relish. It's just an overwhelming bite of fats, with fats and more fats with some heat. Neither one of us could finish the sandwich. 🙁

It needs to be more balanced with sweet grilled onions, sour pickles or a flavorful mustard, tang of tomatoes, bite of a pepper, etc. A $16 sandwich needs a special experience. But instead it's literally eating fatty foods between two slices of oily bread.

I would have given it 3 to 4 stars, but the price point is just way too high for what you get.

Sorry, I wanted to really like it, but it needs work.

I have gotten a variety of meats here and everything has been fantastic quality and value. Every time I have come in the owner and staff have been nothing but welcoming and very informative. My family and I look forward to our next visit and the delicious meals we will make what we get from this delightful butcher!

I’m passing through, so I bought the Butcher Sandwich before I hit the road. One of the freshest, tastiest sandwiches I’ve ever ever had. I wasn’t in a position to buy more, since I’m traveling, but everything looked fantastic. Impeccably clean shop run with pride by a family. Just a great vibe and the kind of place you want to support.

They have the best sandwiches for a decent price, super quality meat. You’re getting the best of the best. Local. quality. fresh. The owners are also super great people and bring a sense of community each time you walk in!

My coworker highly recommended I try the ceviche here and I was so blown away at the whole experience! The Butcher himself is a very kind and helpful man. He freshly chopped and prepared my ceviche right then and there to order! Since then, my husband and I have been shocked by how flavorful and tender the seafood and meat cuts are that he has to offer. This is our go-to spot if you want to make the most delicious dishes. HIGHLY recommend the scallops. 10/10!

A local go-to for quality meats and seafood. You MUST try their ceviche, salsas and guacamole, too!
