I wanted a sandwich on rye but they didn't have any so the lady opened a bag of rye they were selling just to make my sandwich. My only issue is they don't have sandwich topping like lettuce tomato and mayo. Not a problem because I live close and just went home to add it. I tried their homemade goose liver liverworst. It was amazing and she loaded the bread up with it. Almost too much. We also tried their donuts and the soup. All were very good. Can't wait to go back.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 am the type to update reviews by taking what I had previously and adding my edits. You'll notice…read morethis has gone from 4 stars to 5 stars. What changed? * As noted last time, this is definitely Northern style barbecue here. I had said before it's not very BBQ inside, but I'll reframe that. You still absolutely get friendly service and not a very long wait. * I said before the meats are clearly prepared previously and just warmed to the order. I don't think I'll say that again. The meats were perfectly done, moist throughout, perfectly seasoned and smoky on the outside. * When I had gotten the two-meat plate, the brisket fell apart on my fork. The pulled pork was the opposite of what I expected - in fact, I'm wondering if they gave me pork or chicken now that I think about it... but it was good. Didn't occur to me at the time, but that might explain some of the taste and appearance. * This time, I got the ribs. A half rack of ribs filled me up, and YUM. Some ribs fell off the bone a little more than others, but oh boy was that perfectly good. My parents loved their chicken and brisket. * I think they read my review about how much meat you get for what you pay. It's not cheap here, but we all felt that we got a good amount of meat, mac 'n' cheese, or whatever else we ordered. It's great when a place listens! * Last time they upcharged me a dollar to swap cole slaw for cornbread. This time they gave me chipotle BBQ instead of regular BBQ without any charge at all. So again, maybe they read and responded! Still loving the flavors, textures, sauces, cornbread, and mac. This is a winner and earned the fifth star - we're all coming back!

We were excited to try this spot, as we had heard good things from a friend, but ultimately left…read morepretty disappointed. The food itself was slightly above average barbecue. With the food standing on its own, maybe between 3 and 4 stars. From what we tried, would rank the pulled pork first, then the burnt ends, and then the brisket. The pulled pork was smoky and had great flavor and not many fatty pieces. The burnt ends had a lot of flavor (maybe a little too slathered in sauce), but too much fat in the pieces we were given. The brisket too dried out for my taste - have had much better and would definitely not order it again. The restaurant looks great inside - great paintings on the walls, signage, etc. Puts you in a BBQ mindset! My biggest issue was that the staff made us feel a bit uncomfortable there. It's weird, because they were SO friendly to their regulars. But so friendly to the point that when they were so emotionless and dismissive to us, that we felt like we did something wrong and weren't welcome there. Unfortunately with the first experience we had, hard to become a regular to get the better treatment!
