I came in maybe an hour till close. Entire display was put away I tried ordering ribeye without bone. Without telling me how much per pound the guy comes back with 2 100 dollar bone in ribeyes. Mind you I could just go to whole foods and get a name brand same cut for half that price. Overall seemed like a legit butcher shop from the 50s but do to the areas high income rate and inflation it grants these gentlemen the privilege to over charge. I speak from the perspective of someone who's worked in the trade awhile and enjoyed providing a welcoming manor of service to each customer served

John's is amazing and their steaks are worth every penny. Over the summer I got a straight sirloin to grill for my father. It was the best sirloin I've ever had, and far better than any rib eye, ny strip, or t-bone I've gotten at the super market.

Best butcher in the area, hands down. Staff is very friendly and helpful, and their meat is very high quality. It's a little pricier than some, but quality comes with a cost.

Was surprised when I got home to see this prime fillet with an outside that had the look and feel of beef jerky. Butcher never showed me the piece, otherwise I would have said something. You’re paying a premium for their cuts - you can do better than this John’s Meats.

Was my go to place for meat for years. There NY strip rib eyes and porterhouse steaks and veal cutlets are awesome. Stay away from flank steak the last 2 times I bought them they were very dry and tasted old. Unfortunately because of 2 experiences i never went back again. Prime cut meat is available more in other butchers. Place has great service all the other meats including pork are delicious .

The BEST butcher in New Jersey bar none. Old school craftsmen. You pay for quality and quality is what you get here. Dry aged steaks custom cut, milk fed pork the best I've ever tasted, bacon cut as thick or thin as you like, and on and on. Lots of prepared foods as well but can't comment because I come here for the fresh meat! And on top of everything else the nicest bunch of friendly, fun, knowledgable guys.

So disappointed in the order that I had delivered on Saturday. Two of the three sirloin steaks were fine - but the third was black and moldy. The stir-fry beef was old - black and moldy. All four pieces of osso bucco had freezer burn and looked old, with discoloration which looked like old meat - mold. Instead of risking getting sick, I threw all four pieces in the trash. Vinny the owner got rid of low quality meat and gave them to me. I did tell him that I needed the meat delivered because of macular degeneration and I feel he thought - oh the lady with bad vision won't notice the spoiled meat - let me pass the problem to her. - and he charged me $301.00. Not nice - back to Barthes in New Providence or Shoprite in Stirling.

Five stars on the basis of customer service and the few products I purchased- bacon, vodka sauce, and rice pudding. My aunt asked me to come here to pick her up freshly sliced bacon, she has been raving about it for years. I wasn't planning on getting everything else, but mentioned in passing to the guy behind the counter that I would buy a half pint of vodka sauce, but they only had full pints out. The guy asked me to hand me a full pint, and he put it in a half sized container and charged me half. I've literally never had that happen anywhere. Most people would've just said "oh that's too bad." This is definitely an old school butcher, don't expect to see state of the art scales, or beautifully written menus. You don't come here for that, you come here for the products. I see other reviews regarding prices not being marked, the owners definitely saw that because most items had prices per lb. All the prepared food was clearly marked. A lot of the reviews here are outdated. Shop small and local, give them a shot. They need your business more than Whole Foods, or the major chain grocery stores.
