First time coming here and never again. This place always smells so great when I pass by so I finally decided to stop in. The ribs were great but the chicken wasn’t even cooked at all. My guess is it was cooked too fast because the skin looked great but the inside was pink and red all over. I used a paper towel to dab up some of the liquid just so you could really see how much the chicken was truly raw and still bleeding. I was going to go back but it’s not worth the gas and honestly I wouldn’t even feel safe eating anything else from here . I just want to warn anyone else who may be going to this place to avoid the chicken unless they like it raw, undercooked and bleeding. My mom is currently vomiting from this chicken as we speak. Food poisoning I assume. Very unsanitary.

A little pricey but nonetheless the best love the butchers theyve got a 1,12 oz beer thats $59. Definitely one of the best beer collections Ive ever seen in my life makes me almost a little sorry I stopped drinking

My husband Greg and I had a pool party and we were delighted to serve our friends a delicious brisket from Handy Market. Everyone raved about the flavor. Thanks to Alan and his wonderful staff for making our party all the better!

Great spot. Meat selection is good. These are the places that just make you feel cool to be in versus a newer store. The history sinks into the meat.

Handy Market is the best family owned market around. They always have amazing produce, the butcher shop is great, and they even have begun carrying many gourmet sprcialty items. Often items I cant find at the big chain stores, crescent rolls for thanksgiving, I found at Handy Market. The staff is always helpful and friendly. You cant go wrong. Check it out.

Review №22

OK, so, Im a Burbank native, and writing a review about the wonders of Handy Mart is almost cliché, but they have the most amazing chorizo at the meat counter! The best way to cook it IMO is to cut the wrapper, empty the contents onto a skillet, and fry it with some lemon juice. Im a total taco nerd, and this chorizo makes better tacos than anything you can get in a proper taco stand! Cant recommend it enough! Truly amaze balls!!!

Great little grocery store that is rarely crowded. The breakfast burritos that are offered most mornings are amazing and easily worth the relatively cheap price. However, the grilled meats (chicken, sausage, tri-tip) each Saturday are what really sets this place apart.

Man, I miss this place. When I worked across the street I’d get sandwiches and salads here all the time. They have a great selection of food including vegan and plant-based options. Their produce is killer, and at a good price.And I still haven’t gone there for Saturday bbq, which I’m told is the best part. Crazy!

Always have a great selection of craft beers. The BBQ since covid has been VERY hit or miss if you go after 5pm. My ribs tonight were tough and the chicken was hella dry. Also tri tip is now 10.99 a pound and the sandwich is 9.99. It isnt a deal anymore

Amazing deli and hot foods. On Saturdays they fill the block with great smelling and tasting BBQ. While the market isnt much to write home about if you are looking for high quality meats and are in need of a small grocery shop you can make a quick and efficient stop.

I love the Handy Market. Its amazing that a small store can carry almost everything you might want from a market. Their produce is very fresh and the greens last longer longer. The meat and deli dept. Is also great. The weekday dinners are extremely generous and reasonably priced. I recommend you try the chicken salad --- delicious!

Love this place. Started going for their amazing selection of craft beers, now I go there pretty much everything. Great deli/meat market, great produce, great liquor selection as well. And every Saturday they have a Santa Maria style BBQ. Their staff is simply the best around. Id give them more stars if it was possible.

Handy Market is a meat institution !!!Recently I ordered a meat delivery online through their Mercato Website. It was delivered through Mercato by Door Dash!This order was SUPERLATIVE in every way.I ordered from my new home in Nyack Ny for a Memorial Day delivery from Handy Market to my son & wife in Studio City Ca,We had patronized Handy Market for years while living in Burbank.It was always the “go to especially for the butcher shop!Their butcher shop is choice and they had deals for the holiday weekend. The owner was very helpful directing me to Mercato online.This was my first MERCATO order and it went off like a hitch . I was texted updates and even on the busy Memorial Day weekend it arrived on time !I will CERTAINLY order from Handy Market via MERCATO again !!!

Review №65

Great meat and produce offered at fair prices.Over the years, Ive had service issues. Some cashiers were indifferent and others were great.Today, when buying meat, an employee cut the line to assist a favorite customer (apparently) and he neither asked nor acknowledged that I was the next person in line. Another worker behind the counter nuked his coffee in the microwave and didnt ask if I needed help or to let me know anyone would be helping. The much older worker who did help me is a long-time worker who is always A+.Inconsistency is a problem. I tend to not come here for this reason. I prefer shopping at other markets where they are vocal about your presence, acknowledge you quickly and offer to help. This place feels a bit cobbled together sometimes. The current cashiers are great, the older workers in meat are great. Some of the younger workers are also great but not all of them.

Handy Market has a great selection of items for a small market. Their prices are lower than Vons too. And the people who work there are friendly and helpful. Its our go to store for nice cuts of meat, great produce, and hard-to-find items. Their fresh grilled barbecue meats on Saturday are highly recommended! :-)

Great local market with a hint of old film studio nostalgic feel. Friendly staff, they seem like family as soon as you walk in. Fresh produce is always available. Great small deli in the back. Phenomenal sandwiches and salads made in the back. An array of choices that breaks from usually is of mondaine selection in chain markets. A must see if you are ever in the Burbank area.

This little store is amazing. Its not the cheapest and its not the biggest. Its not even the best around, but it has character and heart. Its Saturday bbq is amazing and it pulls you in with its delicious smells. Come in and get your fresh fruits and vegetables. I recommend the Nikita apples as they are the best I have ever had.

First time visiting. Stopped on a Saturday for some of the BBQ I keep hearing great things about. I checked out the inside first and found anything that I could imagine from a market all the most popular brands and great deals as well. The BBQ outside is delicious! I have to come back again for more. The staff was very helpful to direct me to finding what I needed and very friendly as well. One of the hidden jems of the area I need to come more often
