Owner, John, and his brother are the warmest, kindest, most welcoming people. The shop is awesome! The best meats in the State. I drive from Westchester County to go to their shop knowing I am getting the absolute best! Love them and their high quaility meats.

Great food, Old school German American butcher shop. Smoked meats from Empire are the best and everything there is reasonably priced $. The Lepine family have been serving the community for over 100 years and the quality of their food speaks for itself. Also one of the owners looks like Thor but his name is J.Sexy! He looks to be about 6 feet tall, blonde ponytail and great a** muscles.

Empire Market has super friendly service, amazing quality meat and products, and fair prices! A real gem of the neighborhood! Their steaks are great quality, other than that try their smoked bacon or changing variety of homemade sausage

Been coming here for over 40 years. Still go there twice a month.Everything still taste the same. Every time i bite into the hot dog with the SNAP. it reminds me of childhood at Ralph's, Podmores and Chisholm.Their cold cut taste like real meat, not salt water meat.There is nothing bad in this store, you just want to eat everything with your eyes.Love the Lepine Family.Thank you.

A rare gem family owned business that has survived the test of time! Now in the hands of the third generation Mike & John. Everything is made by hand and you taste the difference hands down the best meats. The meat comes from a small farm outside Toronto, grass fed, antibiotic & hormone free. Most of the meat we buy from the supermarket is sprayed with chemicals to make it look fresher not at Empire. Some of my favorites are the ground beef, rib steak, roasted turkey cold cut, hot dogs and smoked bacon. A small section of the store is dedicated to selling candy which threw me off the first time I went but now I look forward to eating my favorite candy growing up. Everything is really amazing and the owners are super nice and passionate so I love supporting this business. Please keep it on the down low and save me some bacon!

Wow. I walked in (well ran in because I knew they were closing in a minute). I was immediately greeted by John. What a great guy. It is rare to feel so welcomed somewhere that you have never been to. I left feeling as if John and I had been friends for years. I had come in specifically for the hot dogs and bacon. It was the end of the day and not much was left in the case. Which should have been disappointing but instead I found it exciting. A butcher that sells out of everything, shows me everything is fresh. If this place was in Brooklyn the lines would be down the street. I have waited on lines and paid much more for food that was subpar. Empire is authentic and everything I imagine old NY was like. In the end I left with hot dogs, bacon and a few brats. I couldn't wait to get home to cook it all. If you like a hot dog with a snap, you have to try these. They were the best hot dogs I have ever had. I don't think I can ever eat a packaged hot dog again. These dogs were complex but simply delicious. They were perfect. Store bought dogs are so salty. These were not. The brats were just as epic. Bacon will be cooked in the am. I can't wait to come back and try more!
