    Tomahawk steaks.

    Fresh meat at good price everything pre-packaged and ready to go. Real convenient for quick parties , barbecues.

    My best friend told me about this place. Always in her bbqs she buy their shiskabab box and it's very nice. They have a nice box with a great amount for a good price. It is perfect cause it is ready to go to the grill. The store is clean and the staff is really nice. They make you wait a little while as they are talking amongst themselves and some random ppl Round the store. So come in with some time to stand around. Even though you will wait a bit once you get you order you will see that the staff is super funny and warm. They take credit cards which is great.

    My new favorite place in NYC to buy meat. Was introduced to this place via a friend, on our first visit I bought a whole rabbit, beef and chicken shish kabab half packs and box of chicken shish kabab..A few days later I went back for another box( beef ) and two more half packs of beef and chicken . The prices are decent and buying a box of shish kababs are great for BBQ/party event contributions.

    Super friendly staff and clean shop. I'm really surprised there wasn't a long line where I got here considering they offer a wide variation of meat for very reasonable prices. I got a porterhouse steak (little over 1lb) for $15 and 3 ribeyes (little over 1lb) for $49. They also carry some great quality chicken shish kabobs. I definitely will be making this my go to butcher shop.

    Pork skewers are so delicious!

    Great butcher, friendly service. I had a barbecue a few weeks ago and my friend brought over some kebabs. They were so delicious I had to Yelp them. My hubby Decided to barbecue for dinner so I ordered some skirt steak and pork kebabs. A $1 for one kebab awesome! I definitely will be coming here more often this summer.

    This is my new FAVORITE butcher in my neighborhood! The moment I walked in, the butcher was super friendly and amazingly helpful (not to mention humorous). I needed some items for my friend's BBQ and I picked up some spicy Italian sausages and marinated beef kebabs. WOW! After they were grilled, both were EXTREMELY flavorful. Not dry whatsoever. Whatever marinade the butcher used was definitely top notch. If you're in the area, PLEASE head over to "My Famous Butcher". I can't wait to go back!

    Queens, NY (Astoria + Ridgewood) - I seem to be on a (sausage) roll, so for my 300th review, allow…read moreme to highlight a deli & butcher shop that's a beloved New York institution to those in the know, but not yet a secret that's out to the masses. When I was in the Astoria store earlier this month, I overheard an obviously epicurean gentleman who spent some time in Austria (with presumably some appreciation for well-crafted old world charcuterie) share that he had come down from Boston and made a special trek out here to experience this Mecca of meats in person. I myself came all the way from the distant shores of NJ that day, enduring horrendous holiday traffic down FDR Dr. and across Queensboro Bridge, but likewise, finally made this pilgrimage after I became addicted to their superlative pork cracklings (chicharron / čvarci / jumări), which is the best on the planet! It's weighed by the pound and the prime time to get it fresh & hot out of the fryer is late morning, though best to come earlier on the weekend. 90% of the products are made in-house, and one can find a dizzying array of cured and smoked meats, multiple varieties of bacon, prosciutti (including hard-to-find duck and lamb!), sausages, salami, pâtés, purées, cheeses, steaks and chops, as well as pickled and jarred foods, canned delicacies, and shelves of dried goods and snacks from Europe. The founders came over from the Balkan region and likewise the counter staff are well-versed in multiple tongues (Serbo-Croatian, Romanian, Hungarian, as well as Spanish) and can fluidly navigate between ethnic product names according to what the customer is asking for. The staff are welcoming, warm, and helpful, and will offer you samples of everything to try. We stocked up on our favorites and also picked up some new goodies: - Chicharrones (always!) - Tarska bacon (a house speciality) - Rolled garlic bacon - Some other bacon (cos yes it's the land of bacon galore) - Duck prosciutto - Various sausages - Goose & pork liver pâté - Liver - Szalonna (pork fat) - Brânză de burduf, a handmade cheese that's a traditional salty Romanian cheese originated from Transylvania. (Muncan is very popular with the local Romanian community) I've always said Queens is foodie heaven and is worth a trip from the boroughs if not the tri-state, and Muncan is definitely a destination stop!

    I traveled all the way from Manhattan for the pork crackling. It did not disappoint. Worth the…read moretrip. Will definitely be back for the other items to try. Friendly staff.
