Asked for 2 Cowboy Ribeyes and they were cut right there in the spot for me. They packaged it up and I felt so old school. I opened up the package an 1hr before cooking and let it settle w sea salt. After that hour I seared the edges and the cooked it on the cast iron with butter and garlic. Then I seared on the grill to make the cross markings. My wife didn't want rosemary or any other spice. It was perfectly cooked and had some leftovers the next day for steak and eggs breakfast. I can't wait to do this again. It was a great night to stay home to cook for a home date alone without our children. Thank you so much for the perfect cut steaks. 5 read more

Found this butcher completely by accident while out east, but I'm now obsessed with it! Amazing quality products at some of the best prices I've ever seen. Definitely the best hot dogs, fresh kielbasa & wursts that I've had on Long Island. The guys behind the counter were super friendly and offered suggestions without being pushy, as well as offering some cooking directions also! The German Potato Salad was delicious as well! read more

When I tell friends and family, "I'm going to see Karl" they assume from the child like grin on my face that I am going to see a loved one. Who is "Karl" they ask themselves? His best friend? Maybe his Onkle Karl? Or perhaps the "best butcher on the block?" Wait. The best butcher on the block?! Karl Ehmer has been a New York institution since 1932 with a presence in Patchogue since 1965. While many other Karl Ehmer locations have closed their doors in recent years, Karl Ehmer's of Patchogue is still here to satisfy our desire for European meats and treats. If you've never been to Karl Ehmer's, don't be thrown by the word butcher. Yes, Karl Ehmer's is a world class butcher with amazing cuts of meat, cold cuts, and German specialties like Bratwurst, Bockwurst, Weisswurst and more, but that's all! Here you'll find imported European candy like Kinder and amazing marzipan, imported spreads including Düsseldorf mustard and apfel spread and many other hard to find imports. I could go on and on about this little slice of German heaven, but you're better off checking it out yourself. read more

Wow we will definitely be back! My boyfriend and I brought some meat to our friends lake house upstate and everyone could not stop talking about how good everything was especially the chicken shush kabobs! They were so juicy and their home made bbq sauce was to die for. Highly Recommend read more

I have been a customer for many years. Steve and his entire crew have been great taking care of my meat needs. Saurbratten is one of our favorites and their loose hot dogs are definitely the best. Their smoked pork chops are another favorite. In fact, I cannot recall anything we have bought there being anything but excellent. read more

Friendly, helpful place- always smells so delicious; clean, reasonable prices. I think their catering is one of the best deals on Long Island. read more

Have used this butcher shop for 30 years. Incredible quality and service. Their ham is like no other! Well worth the price!

Dead south of the "Famous" Four Corners and Furman Square (http://www.yelp.com/biz/furman-square-patchogue) on South Ocean lies Karl Ehmer Quality Meats of Patchogue, a old-school German deli, pork and gift shop (for people think meats and imported foodstuffs is the perfect gift): Christmastime isn't Christmastime in the L. household, unless someone is having a Karl Ehmer Cervelat that was case-formed into the shape of a 2 lb. pig (hint*hint). High-end products and a great location, a true Patchogue institution. I recall as a wee youngster, the counterman passing me over a free sample link of a peanut frank. . . I have known to this day they will still do so too, if you show interest: Check it out, fine specialty stuff behind that glass, hot dogs and wursts. . . "still the best butcher on the block." read more

Great place, great service, delicious fresh food always. The guys behind the counter are always helpful! Everything is always as ordered and delicious place with all goodies read more

So far I love their cuts of beef and deli meats! Haven't had the chance to try their entire selection but I am working on it. Steve is very friendly/helpful if you have any questions, too. I wish they had longer hours, since I can only stop by after work and they are closed on Sundays. Well worth the trip for some quality meats if you are not too far! read more

The staff is great! Establishment is clean! And their food is awesome! I usually order the roast beef sandwich and it has never disappointed! Also, their loaded baked potatoes are delicious...... read more

We used to have a Karl Ehmer meat market in town. Always, always the best meat we ever had. The market was always spotless and we were waited on in the most professional friendly way. Now we have to travel about 45 minutes to get our meat from another Karl Ehmer store, but it is always worth it. read more

Bought a whole piglet for a BBQ from here. My husband said the price was good and mire importantly they were very helpful educating him on how to handle something that big. The pig roast came out great. Went back to get brats on a Sunday and unfortunately they were closed. read more

I have been coming here since I was a kid. Growing up German in Long Island, this was one of the few places you can rely on to get all your German groceries. My grandmother would take me with her here at least once a week. They used to give out free a couple of those little smokey sausages to us kids. Always loved the meat selection. Love their bratwurst, bloodwurst, head cheese, and most of all their leberkase and smoked sausages. I know they have closed a bunch of their locations, but I hope they never close this one, or any more for that matter. I love this place! read more

I always forget to shop here and I don't know why. They have roast pork ( or fresh ham ) that they make sandwiches with or you can buy like deli meat. They also usually have two excellent homemade soups. Of course it's an excellent butcher store so you can get the best meats available in the county. I have to learn to remember to shop here. It's so good. read more
