So I grab a few bone in rib eyes, some small steaks for the kids and a beautiful horseshoe of the white wine sausage. I've been snacking on that sausage ever since. Slight heat to it, but phenomenal. I start the grill.. These wood chips burn at a very high heat. I'm talking surface of the sun hot. The kid's streaks literally just needed a minute and a half on each side. The rib eye. Wow! One of the best steaks I've had in a very long time. Very little fat. They cut it to order (so I got two 1- inch cuts). Now grilling skill plays a part here so keep an eye on them. Slightly expensive but very much worth it. I've found my new go to place!!

We had a great overall experience at quality meats. We ordered the large fillet, the salmon, and…read morethe hanger steak to split for two. Salmon was cooked perfectly, the hanger steak was a huge portion and we liked the cherries, we were disappointed with the fillet- i think we were accidentally given the smaller portion, although the check did say it was the larger. If i could order again, I would have got the Porterhouse; I wish the menu indicated the size of the porterhouse. We got the Parmesan truffle waffle fries, and the cheese gnocchi, and I recommend both. Desert was epic!!! We got the grasshopper Sunday to share, and ended up ordering another it was so good. Service was also outstanding, but at the end there was a lot of seatings in our section, so we waited about 15 minutes for our check. All in all, I still gave it five stars despite the fillet and wait at the end, as I thought the service was great otherwise.

Prices are unbeatable, a 7in sandwich is between $6-$8 which is perfect for lunch as well as the hot food also.

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.

I gave 4 Stars as I have limited experience with authentic Polish food…read more BUT this is a great place for almost all of your Polish-themed needs. This is one of 2 locations in Garfield. 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.

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.
