Meat Shops in Albany, NY

“My 2nd time here. Recommended to try by a friend. German Potato Salad is excellent! Meats are fresh, tasty and plenty of variety to choose from. Staff very knowledgeable and friendly. Store is very clean.”

“Huge selection. Like another reviewer said, the bulk bins are spectacular. They are a throwback to old markets where you would buy your beans and grains and other dry goods out of big containers. Something I used to see occasionally as a child. I bought navy beans here, which I actually had a hard time finding in my local supermarkets. They have a bunch of nifty sections if you want to make your own... Well pretty much anything. There's yeast and kombucha and all kinds of raw and fermented stuff. Huge selection in a small store Now the bad part: if you were looking to spend $200 on groceries that you can carry out in one hand, this is certainly your place, you will have no problem doing that, and a huge selection to choose from. It seems like most of the food quality is a cut above, especially for cheeses and specialty items. However, I can't imagine people shopping here for their daily needs We had a lovely cashier named Val, I am sure we could be good friends! She asked me if we were members of the co-op, and when I asked her what was involved with that, it was a $100 yearly fee and a three hour orientation to become a member. I really admire the people who are committed to such things, but it's just a bit much for me. Happy to go there sometimes to get some specialty items though. One more thing: quite nice and interesting plant selection. Surprising in a little market, but they had all sorts of little cactus and succulents and other plans, really nice little stuff.”

“Second time getting an order to go. Great ambiance in the store. Super polite staff. First time I got the Ham classic. Delicious! My wife adores the Ham salad. We also got sliced turkey and I got the stellar turkey classic. Will we back? Do humans breath air?”

“Recently visited this new grocery store when we were in town. They have a good selection of fresh desi produce. And convenient parking space. There is a cafe inside which had many desi street food. And we had the fuska and dosa which was really good. It was a Clean environment. Definitely recommend this place. Would visit again when we come back.”

“The store is good, there is everything, in particular, if there were Mexican products it would be great What I liked is that there are many seafood products To the ??”

“I love this place, I went to get some dried fish and they had it, but I ended up buying more than what I went to get lol. Due to the customer service, and on another occasion, they were not open and I eventually saw the owner and I signal to him I need to get an outfit, and he sent his wife to come and attend to me. I couldn't believe it lol .if most businesses will not care how hard I knocked the door, they will shout we are closed lol. But they didn't. Alhamduliah for such service!”

“Classic Italian staples and prepared foods which are consistently excellent. The chicken meatballs are a must try. There are a lot of great cheeses, meats, salads, and a solid 4-5 star on sandwiches and entrees. My personal favorites are the pasta fagioli which i think is served daily and their FRIED EGGPLANT! Thinly sliced. Perfect!”

“A store away from home, Dominican Republic! Take out food is amazing. All fresh products from home. Clean market, and prices are reasonable, the staff are very courteous!Mary Jane Cornielle”

“For several years we have chosen to have Thanksgiving Dinner catered for three of us. We are not big eaters and enjoy having some leftovers for the next day. The three previous years we were happy with the dinner offered by Fresh Market. This year my wife saw an ad for Primal butchers and decided to try them.The biggest difference between Fresh Market and Primal was the inclusion of thigh meat in the Primal package. Fresh Market only provided you with a fully cooked breast. As can be seen in my photo, Primal provided both sliced breast and thigh meat in their $45 meal for two people. This being our first year trying Primal we ordered two meals for two to feed the three of us just to be on the safe side.Following their instructions for reheating, we all agreed that the turkey was moist and flavorful. The mashed potatoes were just average, but with the gravy added they were flavorful and enjoyable. Carrots and green beans had a proper firmness and were tasty. The squash had good flavor and the sausage dressing was tasty, but the sausage flavor was not noticeable. My wife preferred the cranberry sauce from Fresh Market with its added orange flavor, but Primal's sauce with whole cranberries was still tasty and enjoyable, even if it did likely come from a can.Bottom line, we probably could have gotten along just fine with only one order for two people, but since we enjoyed everything as much as we did, we are likely to order from them again. Maybe we should look to see what they offer for Christmas dinner.”
