    Paprika szalonna.  12 for this.  The price is very reasonable ! Delish.

    I came here for one thing : paprika szalonna. Aka Hungarian paprika bacon. But it's not really bacon as known in the states. And it's not easy to find. There's a place in Astoria that has it but this little meat shop in Passiac is better. How to eat paprika szalonna: You simply slice it and place it on rye bread. You don't fry it bc it's already cooked. The meat is tender and the paprika smoky. It's delicious. Trust me. The other way to eat it is to cut a square piece and pierce it with a stick to cook over a campfire. And have a piece of bread to catch the fat drippings. So I've heard. I never tried that but damn does that sound good ! I also got 2 links of smoked kolbasz. The thin ones that were hanging behind the register. I don't know the name but they are good. My brother calls them tv sticks. Bc , you know , you just hold one in your hand and chow down while binge watch Netflix. Think of it as a much better slim Jim. 2 for 8 bucks. The shop is a real hidden gem and family owned for decades. I love these shops. They close all July FYI! Yelp doesn't report that so don't go until they reopen in august.

    quite disappointed at how small this "center" really is, but its rare to find a Hungarian butcher in North Jersey, so I'll take what I can get! They have a variety of Pick and Bende, which are fantastic purveyors of Hungarian coldcuts and various meat products. Love the Maggi seasoning and soups selection, along with mayonnaise and pepper pastes. Also, they have the Hero and Bende Chestnut Puree's, which, as any Hungarian knows, with a little whipped cream on top is exquisite! Hope this place sticks around, will be looking forward to doing some holiday shopping when the time comes :)

    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". ‍

    We decided to try this place. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming. The hostesses were polite and…read morehelpful. The menu is easy to read and understand. 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.
