Not even a hello and slaps the food on the scale. Doesn't make you want to return.

I use natural fruits and spices for marinating I regret to inform you that not one legal employee all working there without papers. It's so obvious that they work there on borrowed time. One day I witnessed the illegal employees were serving a obvious gay man, and mocking him they actually came out around the counter jokingly holding hands and kissing each other and proclaimed they were gay too just to get a cheap thrill like clown idiots. It was a circus of ridiculeculous for the rich gay man simply went just simply purchase his order. It was a total mockery towards the innocent man. I'm praying that ICE POLICE soon hits the owner with a $10,000 fine for hiring green card visa employees. This is what happens when a store owner wants to save money and hired illegal clowns. They'll ruin your business so now I buy my meat in Brooklyn with no circle of green cards south American employees.

An older gentleman visually showed me the amount of oxtail they sell so I could get a feel for the size for my dish before buying it. And they were fast about cutting up my meats. They carry chicken, beef, goat and lamb. I've had lamb ribs from here before and the meat quite flavorful and cooked well. I imagine you can get many Indian, Pakistani, and Caribbean cut meats here. Always hard to find a place to cut chicken for Guyanese chicken curry! They also carry oils, snacks, rice, spices, and other halal treats. The prices are very reasonable for the quality of meat and amount you get. I got fatty pieces with bone so it may not look like that much meat in my photos. But I imagine if you needed meatier pieces, they would be priced fairly as well. There's a parking lot in front with limited spots but a lot of street parking nearby. They take cash, credit and maybe Apple Pay(?). Definitely coming back when I need to cook my Guyanese/Indian meat dishes.

That plan died instantly. We had just gone to Rocco's Steakhouse yesterday for steak... so naturally, we decided to go out for steak again. Because balance. Four of us rolled out like we had a reservation with destiny. We started strong: Grilled bacon with peanut butter and jalapeño. My coworkers loved it. I personally don't believe peanuts belong anywhere near my bacon, but I respected the chaos. Massive cocktail shrimp with three sauces--we split those like civilized people. Cobb salad, for health. Obviously. Then came: Dry-aged porterhouse meatballs with gorgonzola crema and black garlic. Good--but in my world, meatballs belong in a proper red sauce. I'm traditional like that. Main event: Bone-in dry-aged prime sirloin. Delicious. Tuscan-style, not drowning in butter. Ordered medium rare... received "this cow has a LinkedIn profile." Sides absolutely stole the show: The Quality Potato (elite) Gnocchi & cheese (life-changing) Brussels sprouts (so we can keep pretending we're making good choices) Dessert:Carrot cake ice cream slice + espresso. Because at this point, why stop? Service was amazing--our waitress and busboy were so engaging they even brought us extra cookies. I felt seen. The place itself is cozy, warm, a little industrial, and tucked below ground--like a delicious steak bunker. Anyway... I'll bring that yogurt tomorrow.Probably.

Walking into Quality Meats, it immediately feels cool and effortless (industrial, but in a really…read morepolished way). The exposed concrete, Edison bulbs, and high ceilings give it that downtown-meets-Midtown vibe that somehow still feels special, even after all these years. We ordered the tomahawk for the table, and honestly... it was a little smaller than I expected. Still perfectly cooked, just more "cute" than over-the-top. But the real stars: Definitely the bacon with jalapeño peanut butter jam so addictive, sweet and spicy all at once. I come back just for that. And the sides are everything. The mac & cheese is insanely creamy and comforting, while the Brussels sprouts are crispy, perfectly seasoned, and actually make vegetables feel fun. Overall, it's a steakhouse that gets it right, classic, chic, and reliable, but with just enough creativity to keep it interesting. Definitely a must-visit when you're in NYC and want a little luxe without feeling stuffy. I bring my parents here!
