Hopson Review

The level of quality at Marin Suns home base is outstanding – all pastured meats almost exclusively from their own farm, unbelievably good tallow soap made from the fat of their own cattle, and wonderfully prepared meals and bites that elevate country and deli food through their exceptional ingredients and subtle creativity. The dining menu is homestyle, but despite being heartily filling is very clean and light. Youll be hard-pressed to find onion rings fried in pastured pork lard elsewhere, and what a delight they are! Who would have dreamed that onion rings could feel so weightless? The Brussel sprouts were cooked, seasoned, and dressed to perfection, a feat in itself. Pastrami was like none wed ever had. Interesting takes on ketchup, aioli, and mustard – all made fresh in-house and certainly not of a standard style, but not too far out there either. Our only complaint really is with the service, which is just shy of terrible we hate to say. No one is straight-up rude, but theyre lazy, generally unapologetic, and far from attentive. A telling example is the contrast between the menus notice stating that water is served only upon request, and then the presence on every diners table of an unsolicited glass of ice water despite the weather outside barely breaking freezing. Select menu items are also unavailable at indeterminate and varying times throughout the day, not due to shortage(s), but rather to poor planning and time management.

On the way to Point Reyes Park, this is a great stop for a meaty lunch. Had the NY strip steak with fries (done in lard, for the win!) which was very tasty. Ordered medium rare--came out more medium, and a bit chewy--but the flavors made up for the prep. Resting on a bed of mixed greens and fries, both of which soaked up steak juices. The Mrs. had a Goat Burger (Laura Chenel chevre, mushrooms, caramelized onions) which was supremely tasty--the bun was a bit crumbly would be her only complaint. Finished with water buffalo-milk hazelnut gelato, which was so rich and creamy.

I shop at this place for all my meaty needs whenever I am in the area. The quality and the service are just outstanding. The guys working here have a real passion for sustainable, local, grass-fed, fantastic meet, and you can feel that in each aspect of your experience with them. I miss seeing Paul, Adrian and Miles, its always a pleasure to shop with such passionate people behind the counter. Looking forward to being back soon!

This place was amazing. My husband had the Ribeye and I had their Brussel Sprouts appetizer and thier Beet salad. The steak and frites were soooo good. The sreak melted in your mouth like butter. The Brussel sprouts are fried in pork lard and topped with sour cream and parmesan cheese. Excellent. I have to mention that this place is pricey, but worth every penny. Definitely would come back when were in the area. :)

Very friendly and accommodating restaurant. I called ahead for a group of nine, and even though we arrived 20 minutes late, they held the table and seated us right away. We would have called ahead to notify them that wed be late but there was limited cell service in the area. The food was a little pricey for burgers and sides, but the meats were fresh and definitely satisfying after a long hike.

This review is for their meat delivery service - specifically for the Poultry Package. Absolutely the toughest, worst tasting (if you can bite into it) chicken I have ever had. Do not sign up for any poultry package. We even had to have a garbage disposal repair person come because the disposal could not grind it up. Free range chicken? More like free range rhinoceros.

My wife and I spent $47 with a tip. The food wasnt that outstanding. Certain elements of our food were lacking flavor. Certain food items on the menu were not being served. The sandwich I ordered (BLB?) had quite firm bread smothered in butter. My wifes pastrami sandwich was all what looked to be bacon? We were not very impressed. Maybe were just spoiled city folk.

Amazing, meat-forward burgers and all of their sides are mind-blowing. The onion rings fried in pork fat - even if you dont like onion rings, you should try those. And the Brussels sprouts! They also have a butchery where you can buy some meat for home. All fresh, delicious, and local.

Farm-to-table. I had a gruyere dry aged burger with a side salad and it was awesome. A bit pricey ($18), but it was quality tasty. Also, had fries with homemade ketchup, not bad. Service was slow b/c they were missing some staff. Butcher shop was pretty cool to check out.

Great meat beautifully presented. Knowledgeable and passionate butchery staff who clearly love meat and all things meat. Restaurant excellent. Burgers very good and cooked to perfection

This is a butcher shop and restaurant. We had lunch there. The gruyère cheese burger with bacon was excellent as were the sausage and frites.

This is a must stop. Great burgers for lunch and take some meat home from the butcher counter.
