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.

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.

A spot you MUST visit!!! 10/10!!!!…read more The best sandwiches I've ever had. Piast recently launched a sandwich menu and they are top notch. The chicken sandwich will be the best piece of chicken you'll ever have. The fish sandwich is actually the best sandwich I've ever had - bye filet o fish. And the pastrami and kielbasa sandwiches are made using homemade meats. They make the pastrami and a bunch of types of Kielbasa. You could spend all day here. It's like a Polish Disneyland of imported and homemade goods. They own the liquor store with a small bar next door so you can order a sandwich then go sit next door and have your food brought there and enjoy a Polish beer with your meal. The kind of place you think about a week later. My entire family was thoroughly impressed with this place. I wanna go back and get everything......

The counters are packed, the shelves are stacked with imports you haven't seen since childhood, and everyone behind the counter treats you like you've been coming here for decades. The kolbasz that tastes like home The star is the kolbasz. Deep color, real smoke, that sweet‑warm paprika profile that hits you right in the memory. It's the kind of sausage that doesn't just taste good, it tastes correct. The gyulai, the cserkesz, the hams, the salamis, all of it carries that old world confidence. Nothing rushed. Nothing modernized in the wrong way. Just tradition done right. The vibe It's cozy and full of regulars who know exactly what they're here for. You hear Hungarian, English, and that universal language of people pointing at meats they've been dreaming about all week. It's a cultural anchor for the neighborhood, and you feel that the second you walk in. The only heartbreak They don't ship nationwide

My mother was Hungarian and I grew up to appreciate Hungarian cuisine, especially their smoked…read moresausages. The Hungarian Meat Center, owned and operated by the Rozsa Family since 1988,specializes in everything Hungarian. The store is on the small side but upon entering smells of smoked sausages, garlic, paprika and cumin which permeate the air. When in the area, I stop in to pickup some Hungarian delicacy or another. This last visit, I bought a gyulai $16, Cseresz kolbasz $8, and a container of prune and apricot jam, $4.75 each. It's difficult to find Hungarian products in Northern New Jersey let alone at reasonable prices and at this quality level. I must add that their apricot jam has the right texture, no added sugar however the sweetness of the fruit remains. I love it. They also offer torta, punies, kremes/sampit, spices and seasonal candies.

We ordered the brisket, it was cooked to perfection, the side dishes included salad, rice and mashed potatoes. Food tasted great. Next time we are in town we will come back and try something different from the menu.

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.

Just give this place a try. You will 100% not be disappointed in any way shape or form…read more I am a regular here for a few simple reasons: incredible quality meat, wonderful customer service, a welcoming experience every time, and excellent prepared foods. BBQ is equivalent to a religion in my household, so high quality meat is a must. Everything from Pete's has been wonderful. Brisket, Saint Louis ribs, burger patties, pork shoulder, bacon, etc. are all incredible. Try the Saint Louis Ribs! Incredible seasoning! Staff are incredibly kind and helpful. Shop is spotlessly clean. Prices are fair given the caliber of the meat. Give it a try. You'll be happy you did.

We ordered two meals to be picked up at Pete's Meat at 1-55pm but due to work was unable to pick it…read moreup until 2:50pm. I requested for fresh fries because we picked up late, and the bald guy always cutting up meat there, seems to be operating under some form of substance as he let out a tirade on me about he would be out of business if he's giving out fresh fries. I requested that he takes the fries out, he said no but I can take it out and he would trash it for me, I opted to do that and immediately ediately I took the fries out on tge counter on laminated menu so that it van be thrown out, the guy snatched the food out of my hand and yelled at me that he's walking me out and I told him not to touch me as he was about to drag me out as he held on to my order. After I refused,to follow him out, he walked outside and threw my food out on as shown in the picture and then refused to refund my money because it was paid from online order. I called the cops and typical of Wayne Police Officer to always favored the white race, the police immediately started to antagonize me and told me it's civil. I asked him if it would be a civil if I take the food out without paying and Officer said that would be considered shoplifting, shouldn't the reversal of it be treated exactly as that would be. I had to stand my ground for the Officer not to put his hands on me as he was also trying to forcefully remove from the premise when my meal was thrown out by this person that insisted on not refunding my money back and cops was also about to punish the black girl fir having the audacity to call for help, when cops are supposed serve and protect. Please abstain from Pete's meat if you can, this is not an experience anyone should have to go through. That bald guy, I don't know if he's the owner but there's been no time I'm there that he doesn't seem like he's operating under the influence of something. I've been there before when he was raving about the importance of weed to another employee, it seems that weed is having negative effect on him, as no business-minded person would treat their customer like that over an order of fries. He could have offered to put it back in the oil to get it hot again in lieu of fresh fries and that would have been greatly appreciated but not this terrible experience. PLEAE BEWARE!!!
