First let me start with this, this is a must try place. Everything is phenomenal, whether you go in…read morefor meat, fish, or a sandwich you will not be disappointed. Prices are unbeatable, a 7in sandwich is between $6-$8 which is perfect for lunch as well as the hot food also. They don't cheap out on how much they give you either, the sandwich pictured below was only $8. Great bread. The meat is super fresh. The place does get packed by they move people along pretty quickly. Inside they have everything you need to go with anything you buy. My absolute favorite place to get a sandwich from in the area. It's very small inside so you cannot eat there.

I used to love this place, but now I'm not going back. This is the second time they messed up one…read moreof my orders, the last time I didn't even make any issue about it, but this time I asked for a sausage and pepper parm sub with no onions, and the reason I asked for no onions is because I'm allergic to onions. So of course I didn't find out that they messed up the order until I got all the way to Belleville to eat it. So I called them to complain and they said, "Sorry, hopefully next time, what can I tell you?"?! You can make good on it is what you can do, so now I'm going to another option instead. Bye-bye Luigi's. Money is tight right now, and I just wasted it. Done. What a shame. Wasn't exactly a complicated request: "sausage and pepper parm sub, no onions, light marinara". ‍

Quality Meats easily gave one of the best steakhouse experiences I've had in NYC. From the second…read morewe walked in, the atmosphere felt upscale without being overly stiff or pretentious. The staff was welcoming, attentive throughout the entire dinner, and made the experience feel smooth from start to finish. Every course came out timed perfectly and you could tell there's real attention to detail here. We started with the pork belly and it was incredible. Perfectly crisp on the outside while still being super tender and flavorful inside. Rich without feeling too heavy, and balanced really well overall. Definitely not a throwaway appetizer -- it set the tone for the rest of the meal immediately. The Fire Porterhouse was the main event and completely lived up to the hype. Easily one of the most flavorful steaks I've had. The char and smokiness on the outside paired perfectly with how juicy and tender the inside was. Every bite had that perfect steakhouse flavor while still tasting high quality and refined. You can tell they know exactly what they're doing with their meat preparation. It's the kind of steak you keep thinking about after dinner ends. For dessert we got the upside down ice cream cone, which was honestly the perfect ending to the night. Presentation was fun and unique, but it also actually tasted amazing -- creamy, balanced, and not overly sweet. A lot of restaurants focus too much on presentation with desserts, but this one delivered on both. Overall, the combination of the food quality, service, atmosphere, and attention to detail made this an easy 5-star experience for me. Quality Meats absolutely deserves its reputation and is 100% worth visiting if you're looking for a top-tier steakhouse in NYC. Definitely a spot I'll be returning to.

I told myself I was going to start bringing lunch to work. You know--be healthy, save money…read more.. maybe a nice yogurt. Right on cue, my coworker texts: "Where are we eating?" Well. 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.

I gave 4 Stars as I have limited experience with authentic Polish food…read more BUT this is a great place for almost all of your Polish-themed needs. This is one of 2 locations in Garfield. Easy to get to; Off street parking. Friendly staff. We went for the hot food; great lunch deals; $9.95 gets you an entree, mashed potatoes, and 2 sides. The meat stuffed cabbage was very good. The cheese & potato pierogi were good; the Kielbasa ( sausage) was just OK. There were many choices ( breaded fish, pork, vegetable items, hot\cold salads) However this place has so much more. a butcher shop, a bakery section ( the doughnuts were very good), aisles of authentic food products ( beer, soda, sauces, pickles , hot dogs, and so much more) Soups, frozen foods that were prepared onsite. Polish greeting cards; many magazines and news papers from Poland. the place was packed with so many items. Very impressive.

I went with two platters of stuffed cabbage, buckwheat, and sauerkraut, a pork shank plus a small split pea soup. They threw in a dozen cookies and the total was $33. Cannot beat that! Didn't get to eat it for about an hour, everything was still hot. Absolutely loved everything! Tender stuffed cabbage, falling off the bone pork shank, delicious soup, and buckwheat galore!

I grew up shopping in high end butcher shops and they don't charge to cut the roast after customer just spend $75 to buy it! Lobster roll had very very little lobster meat in it and horrible tasting spices. Just terrible, threw it out after two bites. Frozen lamb chops were marinated in some horrible tasting spices.

Paterson, NJ - like many patrons, my husband came across this place via their tantalizing Instagram…read moreposts and urged us to go. They were busy at dinner time on a Sunday night. As many reviewers mentioned, no one bothered to acknowledge us when we arrived, so I flagged down a waitress who said we could sit whenever we want. We chose to sit in the airier covered outdoor area (which isn't exposed to the elements so is perfectly temperate even in cold weather). There were no instructions on how to order either - this seems like a basic customer service fail: is it that hard to slap up signage explaining 1-2-3, or for someone (anyone!) to greet you and ask if this is your first time here and walk you through the process? Anyway, I'm glad I read the reviews and checked out what we wanted to order beforehand, and asked questions at the cashier. Sure, it's not that hard, but one really shouldn't have to actively track down multiple staff for directions on where to go or how to order at a restaurant. The deal is: decide which meat(s) you want from the poster (there is no menu), place your order (sold by the pound) with the cashier, pay, go to your table, and a server will bring the food to you when it's ready. The meat is (at current writing) $45/lb with unlimited sides and soft drinks. We ordered 1 lb each of beef brisket and lamb shank (1 lb = 2 shanks), which was the perfect amount of food for us 2 hungry adults, 2 teens of modest appetite, and a toddler of negligible appetite. The meat is simply seasoned (Arab bbq style) and came out lukewarm, but is off-the-bone tender and we enjoyed them with the variety of sauces. There are four types of sides: cucumber & tomato salad (good), spring mix, saffron rice (fine but my toddler loved this), and mashed potatoes (bland). It is a well-balanced meal, not too heavy. The chefs are friendly and we watched one film a demo almost certainly for social media. He even let us taste some of what he was seasoning, though there were no pyrotechnics as I had hoped from seeing some of the reels. The service wasn't bad - not terribly proactive but not non-existent either, and we always received what we requested. They could do better with customer guidance, but now that I know what's up I'd come back for the food and would like to try some other meats next time. Meat Moot has many franchises across the Middle East and Turkey, and NJ is one of only 3 locations in the US (the other 2 being in the Midwest). Street parking only.
