The Farms Deli and Meat Counter, Santa Monica CA

Corned beef sandwich meat was too fatty and low quality. Roast beef sandwich was excellent.

I rarely write poor reviews, especially of local businesses. Seems like this a common experience with the reviewer Aaron Basch below. The gentleman at the meat counter was pretty rude to me, unprovoked. I was just a nondescript mom holding a baby, trying to quietly buy some chicken- no attitude. This employee was sarcastic and did not provide kind service. As a vegetarian, I was not familiar with identifying the cuts of poultry as white/dark meat and he was noticbly annoyed to have to explain it to me, and treated me as if I could not possibly be serious. I asked him to split a bone-in chicken breast that I paid for the whole breast, so I could portion it for my kids later without cutting myself at home. He refused to honor this simple request- he is a butcher mind you at a meat market. He said ". Uh you just cut it.with a knife.you can do that at home. " To make matters worse he said "thanksssss. " with a snarky fake smile after I politely said "ok thank you" and walked away after being declined of my request to quarter the meat. I gave him a rather neutral and bland customer interaction, no attitude. Not fun to be treated this way for a simple trip to the grocery store. In preparing the meat, I did end up having to saw my way through bone as predicted, and cut my finger. So mad! I get it, you have to deal with hoity-toity westsider SAHMs all day, does not mean we all deserve to be disrespected.

Pricey, high-end, gourmet, and convenience store. Very friendly and helpful staff.

Home made burritos and enchiladas. Truly great because Farms is also a butcher. And great salsa.
