“My Husband and I have been paying such high prices for Halal meat . It has been so hard to find many things in our area. A little of Hamberger meat , a few things of chicken, alot of fish. I am so glad I found this site . For a $100 box i have enough food for 2 weeks. The best part is, it's fresh and I know its Halal. It's delicious and such a great value.”

“BEST MEAT EVER!!!! I 100% recommend this place!!!! The quality of the meat literally transported me back to my country ????. We had the best night ever, even the empanadas that they sell were legit Argentinean style and juicy. We are definitely going back, totally worth the travel ??. Thanks ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐.”
“Top quality meat, super fresh, and great customer service. The staff actually knows their cuts and gives honest recommendations. Definitely my go-to butcher from now on!”
“Extremely happy with my experience with Melinda’s meat Market and the staff. I felt like family during the process of placing my order. I don’t usually go to real butchers so I was nervous. I truly felt like I was getting a celebrity consultation. They asked what I like , my style of cooking , my intentions (which was 5 day meal prep of 3 meals a day ) weight , cuts and I got the most perfect put together box of meat ever. Good people , even better quality products. Will only get my meat here and I spent less than I would at stop n shop or ShopRite. Can’t beat the personalized experience , I can’t wait for next weeks meal prep order !! Also it was so clean and trimmed , it took all the hard prep work out of the way for me and none of the mess , great for busy people and families , or cooking for 1. The communication at this store 10/10 !!”
“The selection was pretty vast on a Saturday morning. The store was packed with locals and tourists. I couldn't see the price list for the goods and that tempered down my ambitions.
Nevertheless, I bought a pork knuckle. It was delicious!”

“I always have a 5 Star experience with Sorriso service and food but need to make sure now to review publicly because the antipasto just really helped my Christmas. The appetizers - peppers, eggplant, onions, and more were all fantastic. I feel I can always rely on Sorriso to help me with any table for any holiday or get together. The staff is always wonderful and I walk in knowing I’m going to be treated with kindness, warmth, and expertise. Thank you! You’re an asset to the community.”

“Ottomanelli is iconic! This family-owned butcher shop has been in the Village for 70 years, originally from Italy. I love chatting with the three brothers — their service is amazing, and the meat is always top quality. Truly inspiring and a staple in the neighborhood!

I have gone to this store and purchased items for over five years. Their level of professionalism, the products they offer, and the quality of meat are unmatched. Jose knows his products; he will tell you how to cook the item being purchased, which was needed when I first started cooking. I would highly recommend this store to anyone in the vicinity to check it out.”
“It's tough because I want them to know how great they treat their customers but I also don't want all you's other people coming to my butcher. It's a secret.”
“Awesome experience with Grand & Essex Market!!!!
Best catering ever!!! With Shloimy, you’re on the safe side—excellent food, and unbeatable prices. You get much more than what you pay for.”

“Was referred here by a friend who orders his thanksgiving turkey from Marlow & Daughters every year and swears by them. I thought I’d give it a shot and ordered a 13lbs turkey for our Friendsgiving last week and safe to say it was the juiciest most delicious turkey I’ve ever had!! Every one of our guests said the same, no one’s ever had a turkey that good. I thought 11$ a pound was a bit pricey but boy was it worth it. No wonder I’ve never really been a fan of roasted turkey, I was eating tasteless supermarket turkey. 100% recommend, I’m sure ALL their meats are locally sourced and top quality”
“Their high security locks and locksmith installation services are truly exceptional. The team's dedication to security and their professionalism set them apart. I'm pleased with the upgrade and the peace of mind it brings.”
“Best guanciale I have ever had. Better than all other salumerias and Italian specialty stores I have tried in NY NJ. And for a reasonable price. I will only be buying here from now on. Help me keep this place around. Go here. Try it.”
“Park East Kosher is amazing for all of your kosher needs. The meat is top quality, and Liron and Michael will personally help you get the items that you need for Shabbat, holidays, and daily needs - they make you feel like family! They have groceries and other items imported from Israel as well. Their prices are reasonable too.”

“I recently moved to the neighborhood after having an excellent butcher for many years in Astoria, so my standards were pretty high. I tried Schatzie’s burger blend, and I can honestly say it was the best burger I’ve ever eaten in my life. Absolutely incredible flavor and quality — you can really taste the care that goes into their meat. So glad to have found my new go-to butcher.”
“I really want to like this place, but this is the third time I’ve gone in and simply walked out after being inside for over 10 minutes. Likely won’t be returning.
There’s very little clarity around line management, and very little effort by staff to direct. After standing with a smile for several minutes and making eye contact with staff, only to have them engage other customers and ignore me. I decided to just leave and not come back.
UPDATE 3/30/26 - after the business responded, I decided to give them another shot. Maybe I was just going in on off days before, because the last few times I’ve gone have been a wonderful experience. They have stellar product as always and their line management is much more attentive; I haven’t felt ignored since.”
“Got a great Chuck Roast last week. The butcher cut it fresh and tied it perfectly, so I had a rich and tender pot roast that didn’t fall apart after four hours of braising. Very friendly service.”

“We were here twice in April 25 (OK, late review, but better late than never). Once for a hot dog and once for a steak. Both times: delicious food, super friendly staff. What more could you want? Thank you, and when we're back in New York, we'll be back :)”
“Tipped off about this place by a friend and had to make a visit. It is exactly as I hoped. A family business, over 100 years, still passionate about offering the best they can offer to the customer. If you are looking for a local butcher who makes their products in house and with the pride and care of a craftsman, then this is your place.”
“I like to purchase my meats from Astor meat market. They sale good quality of variety meats for a reasonable price I've been shopping there for over 20years .”
“It's a fabulous place to go the meat is fresh the lamb is tasty when you cook it friendly customer service I recommend you to try the service is great, in sha Allah ?”
“The food is excellent. The service can be spotty and it has nothing to do with being Polish or not, they’re just like that. There’s one particular guy that always seems to have an attitude but it just cracks me up cuz it’s usually between him and my mother and my mother is completely oblivious to it. There’s usually a line, but it moves quick. Not sure how to order or what to get? You can just say things like “I need kielbasa for the grill” and they’ll get you what you need. Definitely recommend over any packaged Polish stuff you’ll find in other supermarkets.”
“I visited and shopped first time today - I live walking distance to the store! Wonderful little place - the butcher section looked amazing and super nice owner working hard! I found just what I was looking for and will be visiting again soon. So lucky to live in this multi cultural neighborhood!”
“Brought back so many childhood memories! Amazon quality! Good selection of in house cuts of meat. The staff were beyond friendly! Definitely coming back more and more”

“Traveling to Brooklyn to visit my favorite butchers has been one of the highlights of my NYC trips. Lou and Joe are walking saints and scholars to their community. They got 90% of what you need for the week of only high-quality products and a well-chosen inventory. The eggs are fresh and the butter is real. Our food always comes out better when we shop here. Thank you gentlemen and I will see you again. Friendly reminder that they are a cash only business.”
