Lovely experience. We went towards the end of the day and the guys there were super nice and accommodating. The meat was super fresh but price can be a bit high but honestly the quality of it exceeded expectations. read more

Great cuts of meat !!! And cut to my liking, just the way I requested Also the sausage is so delicious, second to none read more

Nick's Meat Depot is the epitome of a neighborhood Italian butcher. You get the best cuts of meats, the best service (with a smile), and the selection is so diverse. They even offer exotic meats like kangaroo. Who TF eats kangaroo meat? Not me, but if I did, I'd know where to find it. At Nick's! Also the young men and Nick are very handsome (winking like the creepy old lady that I am). read more

Worst cust service, by far. Ordered sausage 5 days in adv. Called day of , asked if ready, was told to come in. Drove 1hr to get there to find out they didnt even make the sausage. Had to wait 30 minutes behind walk ins before they found the time for me. They were also completely incapable of slicing deli meat at a quarter inch. After 3 attempts I had to accept a medium thick slice at best. Inexcusable. No attempt to make things right. Meat is tops but staff is completely incompetent. No thanks! read more

Really disappointed with two trips so far an hour drive away and had to toss nearly $200 worth of meat. The Denver steaks were chewy and gross, the top ground steak was terrible, and it's clear they've switched meat suppliers. The prime ribeye was worse than a ShopRite choice ribeye. read more

Nick's is my go to butcher for the highest quality meats. The staff is friendly, courteous. I've tried prime meats from 2 big box stores and they don't come close to Nicks. Meats are costly but worth every penny. You won't be disappointed read more

Great Service ! Great Selection ! Great Delicious Steaks ! wasting your time if you go anywhere else. I live closer to 4 other specialty butchers and Nick's is well worth the 30 minute drive ! Eric H read more

Been going to Nick's since they opened. By far the best place to go for good quality meat in the area.

Worst service I have ever had!!!! Drove an hour to receive horrible service and rudeness, it was so bad I lost my appetite for the meat I purchased. I am never ever ever ever coming back here and I am telling everybody I know the same thing. WORST SERVICE EVER!!!!!! read more

Nick's Meat Depot is an amazing example of why a local butcher can be significantly superior to the meat departments of the big name supermarkets. They have a great selection of meats, sausage, etc. that will definitely appeal to pretty much anyone and everyone. Service is friendly, professional and knowledgeable and, as I said, the meat is amazing. I definitely would recommend here and give it five stars. read more

Great quality meat for a great price! My boyfriend frequents at Nick's, and has always raved to me about their meats, specifically their availability of various Wagyu meats. Being that I was in the area, I had to check it out for myself. I had purchased their A5 wagyu as I was made aware they posted on Facebook about their newest shipment. The store offers various high quality meats that you won't find at your local chain superstore/supermarket. From American Wagyu, to A5 Miyazaki Wagyu, to Tomahawk Steaks, to in-house prepared kebabs, Nick's has it all! At $99.99/lb, Nick's sells their A5 Wagyu at quite a decent price for such an exquisite cut. The only other place I've seen a price like this is at a nearby wholesale store. Being as ""afforable"" (if that's even a word to use for a piece like this) as A5 can get, I most definitely look forward to purchasing more here when I'm in the area! The cut was super fresh, and the marbling phenomenal. Nick's does an amazing job in providing high quality meats at a great price! read more

Their service was absolutely amazing. Came out to Metlife and though our team lost- this tail gate was popping. They are known as JNine and they are at all home jets game. The catering truck is decked out, serve a crazy amount of food and variety. Cooked to the order and right in front of you. The staff are super friendly and very chill! They have a tv, music, grill, beverages, desserts & friendly super nice service !! I would absolutely recommend if you're looking for a way to have the best tail gate in the game! read more

Best place for quality meat. Items you can purchase in the local grocery stores do not compare. Staff is very accommodating and helpful..

Nicks is the best. If you an want old world butcher experience, try Nick's. Try the prime cut rib on the bone or T-bone steaks, you will never go back to high end steak houses. The American rack of lamb is delicious! His custom made chop meat makes the best meat balls. His veal chops are the better than any restaurant. If you don't see what you want talk to Nick. He will take care of it. You will pay more than your local supermarket but you will find it worth it. read more

Great butcher with friendly service and EXCELLENT quality meats. Nick's just reopened on Amboy ave and I am so excited that they are back. I came in specifically to get two nice steaks for Valentine's Day. As I was looking through the case I found a good selection of beef and asked the attendant if he had any thicker cuts of bone in ribeye. I was told that he would be happy to cut me whatever size I wanted and that it wasn't a problem. After I gave him my specs, he cut two perfect ribeyes for me. I also was talking with Nick and he informed me that he can source pretty much anything that I wanted including duck and fois grois. Everyone is so helpful here and the prices are at a good point for the quality that you get. I will definitely be coming back here for all of my butcher needs. read more

Heard good things about this place so I thought I would give it a try for some Mother's day food. The guy taking my order decided to charge me porterhouse prices for sirloin burgers. Luckily the cashier noticed it, but only after he charged my card. He refunded me in cash. The guy taking my order acted like it was a joke (not a mistake). I will not be coming back based on this experience alone, it doesn't matter how good the meat is, it ain't worth the stress on figuring out if they are charging you the right amount. You don't joke with customer's money. read more

The most amazing quality of meats you will find in middlesex county NJ. While also providing a wide array of options.

Ordered from Nicks for the first time this week. Extremely satisfied. Meat is top quality and great prices. Thank you all for continuing to serve the community during these uncertain and scary times. It's much appreciated. I will absolutely be a frequent customer going forward. read more

How could you not love this meat!!!! Dry-aged to A5 Wagyu. Best pork chops I have ever tasted and the biggest wings around read more

Stopped in today for the first time, orders some steaks, sausage and some ribs. The place was clean and the guy behind the counter answered all my questions. I'm very passionate about food and will definitely stop in again when I'm in the area. read more

Provolone sausage is delicious. with a strong provolone flavor pairing with rich pork. Chicken sausage is tender, light, with tomato sweetness. Services are fast, and friendly. Will back for more sausages. read more

My family always goes to Nick's Meat Depot for burgers, steak, etc. The cashiers are so nice, but I rarely see Nick, sadly. He's was really nice. We'd definitely come back more than once. read more

This is a belated review. I was in the Edison area and finally stopped by Nick's Meat Depot; a destination I've had bookmarked for some time. Inside are so many options ranging from Prime Beef, aged-beef, sausages, various pork cuts, etc. I spoke to one of the older butchers and asked about the Pichana cut (the famous Brazilian steak cut; a.k.a. Coulotte, or a version of a Top Sirloin), and he remarked that it's a difficult cut to get, and they do not sell it. So I started looking at the other offerings and found something.......... To be honest, I'm no burger aficionado (preferring my beef in steak form), but I keyed in on Nick's special blend burgers, which (if I recall) was a combination of chuck, short-rib, and brisket. Note that there were five burgers in the package. Recently I had a chance to take them out of the freezer and cook them on my skillet at home, and I devoured the burger like a competitive eater! They were delicious, having a tremendous amount of beef flavor and remaining very moist despite cooking the burger to a temperature right at medium (I was shooting for medium rare). My burger was housed in a butter-toasted pretzel bun, with additions of tomato, pickle, and a slice of garlic Jack cheese. What a combination. I will be back to buy these burgers! read more

AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME! Great quality and cuts. Love the order ahead option. From their chicken wings to their porterhouse steaks; just unbelievable quality and care. Frequent customer going forward. Once a month to stock up fridge and freezer. One of my biggest finds during quarantine. read more

My wife decided to buy 1 1/2 inch bone in pork chops at Nicks that cooked in 10 minutes and it came out butter tender. I have never had a piece of meat that tasted so good. The best quality and the best price. You will never go back to Shop Rite or Wegmans again. Outstanding! JJ read more

I'm a loyal customer of Nicks shop. He raised the bar and set a new standard when he reopened in his new space on 1028 Amboy Ave here in Edison. He's a great guy. The chops and cuts are extraordinary. He also does his own charcuterie, the sausages are all amazing. The place is immaculate clean. Nick and his team are awesome to deal with. They blow these local chain stores out of the water. Their prices are reasonable to say the least, you pay more at Whole Foods and Wegmans and don't even come close to the quality he is putting out. Do yourself a favor and stop in, the Pride is there... it's evident when you walk thru the door. 5 Stars. read more

I go at least 3 times a week I love them and they love me. Great cuts and great food. Amazing lil veggie selection too. I barely shop anywhere else besides nicks for food and i have bo need to dine out anymore too . read more

My buddy put my onto this and glad he did. They have a great selection of meat and everything I have ordered from this place is absolutely delicious. I've had the porter house, burgers, and the sausage on multiple occasions and everything was fantastic...well except one time my idiot friend burned the chicken sausage so I had to scrape the burn off. Give this place a try, you won't be disappointed! The guys in there are super friendly too and can answer all your meat related questions. read more

I don't think I will ever buy my meat anywhere else! The quality is outstanding. I got 2 ribeyes and also tried the hot sausage. Both were fantastic.

I grew up on butcher meats in Newark N.J. then got married & moved to Iselin N.J.& only had supermarket meats. But found out about Nicks Meat Market & shop there for my meats & what a difference. It is a little more money but great quality. I'm a regular now. read more

Very happy to have a great butcher shop so close. Very nice people who are also knowledgeable about how to prepare the meat they make. We really love all the ready made burgers, especially the beef prime. So juicy even for a lean burger if you cook it right. A porterhouse put on the grill for 4-min per side was divine. Chicken and pork has also been delicious. I won't tell you what else I like because then they'll be sold out when I get there. Note they are open on Sundays but close early and are closed on Mondays. Important update: They have moved to Scotch Plains and known as Pat's American Butcher Shop. They say they're moving closer to the original location some time in the future. We'll be moving out of state and won't be able to update. I ordered a special cut for Valentine's Day and it was divine. read more

I was glad to see a bunch of other great ratings already here for Nick's so I know it's not just me. Something about this place feels exclusive and special, the kind of place where employees could have a snobby or hurried attitude (like the Soup Nazi) but they *dont'*. They're at the other end of the spectrum, extremely friendly, helpful, and patient. The meats speak for themselves, excellent quality, but the service really sets them apart, in my opinion. There is almost always a line (~5 deep inside, ~5 deep outside, at least during COVID) but it moves quickly. If you know what you want, I'd definitely order ahead because the longer you stand around in there, the more you end up buying because it all looks so good. read more

OMG!!!! Store is amazing, meat is the best I've ever tried and customer service is 5+!!! This was my first time here and I got some steaks. NY and Rib-eye. Meat was fresh, juicy and sooo good!!! Will come back again! Highly recommend!!!! read more

Today the family and I stop by the meat market to try out some of their products. The staff was very family and helpful . The place is sorta tuck away in the shopping mall , but if your familiar with the area it isn't a big deal. Place appears super clean and the meats appear super fresh and super high quality so that mean a Super high $$$$ which is expected for this type of meats . They even have extra ten percent off program . I will update my review after trying out the streaks tonight .meat was like eating butter it just melted in your mouth ! read more

Oh man, I'm never buying bacon from anywhere else ever again. I wanted to make a steakhouse meal for my wife for our anniversary, and this place had the goods. 2 porterhouse steaks and super thick cut bacon. The bacon was outrageously good, and the steaks were perfect. I couldn't help myself and got a few burgers too, which all held together and came off the grill perfectly. The pork tasted like a sausage, and the chicken had great seasoning in it. Big fan. I can't wait to come back and try some more of their steaks. I feel like a fool not shopping here but living in town for years. read more

Butchers choice (Hanger steak) on the grill...awesome. would definitely recommend. Haven't had anything from here that wasn't top notch.

For starters, I was told by several friends to come here for any meat I want to cook. And let me tell you they were not wrong. I spent quite a bit of money, but after cooking as Nick instructed me, it was worth every penny. Never have I ever had a steak this good and simple. This is my new place to get any steaks to entertain family and friends and my wife is pushing to get the home made sausage for her sauce. Thumbs up and keep up the great work. It's a pleasure to have a real butcher so close to home. read more
