Bay Root Meats

Bay Root is a nice, clean shop with meat counter, import products, and very friendly staff. They now offer camel milk! It is very healthy and tasty - my daughter loves it!

My favorite place for oriental food. Items are priced well.

Great little butcher shop. Meats are fresh. Kaftas are great. Shish kabob meat are really tender. Tell also sell middle eastern snacks and treats. Parking however is an issue.

I've been a customer of Bay Root Meats for years, and it always feels like you’re asking for some kind of favor when asking the butchers for meat. Both butchers have full control of whom they sell, and if you pay extra you get what you want. Keep in mind that the quantity you asked for will be doubled (by so-called “mistake” always) and the professional butcher will make it sound as if he started work yesterday and he has no clue how to weigh the meat so you'll always end up with 40% to 50% additional quantity compared to what you've asked. The issue does not end up here. When I (and several people in the community apparently) confronted the butcher and told him that I didn't ask for 5 pound, but for 3 pounds only, the horror story began. Since the confrontation, we haven’t been able to buy any cut of meat from that shop except the minced meat, any other request, they'll say that they don't have it. They will tell you to come on Wednesday, that's when their meat order arrives (as they claim) so I went ahead and gave them a visit on Wednesday around 1 p.m. and I was surprised to hear that the meat didn’t arrive yet, and they asked me to pass by next day. Thursday arrives and when I went there at 1 p.m. the butcher said that the meat is arriving at 4 p.m. so I ended up just taking minced as usual. Next week on Wednesday day, I call the butcher and asked him for 2 skirt steaks, he said that they are available, when I went there, which took me 5 minutes, I asked for the steak and the butcher said that they ran out of meat for today, I told him that I called and asked before I come, he said 1 min let me check. After 2 minutes he comes out of the storage with a 1.5 pound piece of meat and sold it to me as skirt steak, he said that he has 1.5 pounds for today only, when I wanted 3 pound. I took the cut and went home. Lo and behold, it was not a skirt steak. It was a cheap cut of something else completely. I was scammed. And he had no problem scamming me. Add to that, most of the products at the shop are 1 to 3 months away from expiry date, especially the sweets, and the bulk products which they always have an offer on. Most of the products in their fridge are opened and exposed. Final tip, be very aware of the chicken breast you buy over there, as sometimes I've noticed that they mix two breasts in one package – one fresh, the other old and about to expire. This is ridiculous and looks like the owner has no clue what’s going on in the store.

Beat quality meat and best prices, quick service everything is always fresh and clean. Small selection of other goods.
