“The steak and chicken cutlets are top notch, good quality and very inexpensive.”
“Is it bad that ever since I bought the Peter Luger bacon there, that I keep thinking about it everyday?”
“It is your typical meat store-offering chicken, lambchops, rib eye steaks, porterhouse steaks, etc. I decided to give the dry aged t-bone steak a try.”

I love finding spots like this. It reminds me of a older time where neighborhoods knew their butcher and the local shop instead of big box stores. It's a butcher shop that caters towards customers needs. Great prices on chicken, steaks, and pork chops. Attentive service as my butcher cut my chicken order up to my request. Go for the in house made sausages or any of the dry aged steaks and pork chops. The meats were of great quality. Be wary of lines on weekends though but they'll take care of your protein needs.
Was looking for a go to butcher shop. I can see why someone else mentioned about how crappy their customer service is. I went in with my pug. I stood around in the empty shop waiting for someone to ask what I wanted. Finally, a staff asked and I told him one organic whole chicken please. He then looked away and resumed with his cutting. Then he came closer to the counter and asked me what I wanted. I repeated what I want and told him I would like a 5lb organic chicken. Another staff turns around and points at my pug and says she has to go outside. I explained how I was trying to place an order. A random customer came and butted in to the conversation and said they will cut your dog (and he did this with a cutting motion with his hands) as if I did not understand a word he was saying. The staff agreed and said yes we will cut. I did not take this as a joke at all. I took it more of a rude comment. I walked myself out with my pug and was too disgusted with the service to even pick up my order. A nice "sorry miss, no dogs are allowed" would've been okay. Too rude of a service to even bother with their products. I won't be surprised how they treat their meat products either.
Since my local meat store does not sell dry aged steaks anymore, I decided to head down here to give this place a go. It is your typical meat store-offering chicken, lambchops, rib eye steaks, porterhouse steaks, etc. I decided to give the dry aged t-bone steak a try. When I asked how long the steaks were dry-aged for, he said months. So, why the heck not?
After slicing off about an inch of the t-bone steak off for me, the guy trimmed off the fat and then weighed it. The rib-eye and t-bone dry aged steak is about $29/lb. So, when the butcher said the total was $65…this steak better make me full! Got home, cooked it in the oven for a bit, and then put it on the cast iron skillet…best $65 invested! I mean, you go out to have steak at Peter Luger's or whatever, for around the price but this fed five people!
This place is clean, with many guys in the back preparing meats. Everything looks fresh in quality and the line moves quickly and smoothly. Prices are decent as well. I would definitely call ahead to see what dry-aged steaks they have in store before making the trip. Would like to try the dry aged rib-eye steak since they didn't have it!
