I've been coming to Suburbia now for years. Dave and (completing blanking on his name) have always done well by me. Food and customer service have been top notch. During COVID they have been shutting down twice a week to clean. They were always clean, but we appreciate that they take it next level during these odd times. They generally have what we need on hand, if I need a specialty item I give them a call on Tuesday or Thursday and they'll have it for me by the weekend. The recent one star review is puzzling, that person must have been in a different store, or not wearing a mask. It does not represent what Suburbia is all about, at least from what I've witnessed the past 15 years. read more

I remember going the past Saturday to get 2 lbs of tenderloin to make a beef Wellington for the New Years. I used it today and the beef tenderloin to make my first attempt at Beef Wellington. The tenderloin was great and worked well with the Wellington. I would come here again if I were around Merrick. read more

My Mom used to shop at Suburbia Prime Meats. I remember her telling me that the owner David Feldman is a wonderful guy who personally delivered her small orders to her home several miles away. After being disappointed with the selection of meat at my local supermarket I decided to check them out. When I entered the store I was immediately impressed by how clean and well organized it is, and Dave's guitar selection adds to the homey eclectic ambiance. The staff is very helpful and friendly, and they'll accommodate customer preferences. After looking around I decided to purchase a rack of lamb, 2 pieces of wild salmon and cooked chicken fingers. Everything was top quality prime, fresh and scrumptious. And I was pleasantly surprised to see that Suburbia's prices are on par with local supermarkets for much better quality. You can't go wrong! Nuts & Bolts: Suburbia currently offers curbside pickup, delivery and in-store shopping with strict social distancing and a max of 3 customers allowed in at once. They're open 6 days/week (closed Wednesdays) at convenient hours with early opening times (7:30 as of this writing). There's parking on the street and a side lot. So happy to carry on the family tradition of shopping at Suburbia, a cool locally owned small business. I plan to be a regular going forward. read more

David is the best Immaculately clean shop, excellent products, cut to order and service with a smile read more

The team here is nothing but professionals. They got it all, or will get it for you. Retail shop has some nice stuff and everything is super clean. Take a look at this brisket that was butchered to perfection. And also perfectly smoked in my vertical smoker for Passover. And good hours on weekends! As a tip, they are closed on Wednesday's (which is fine by me if it means I can shop over the weekend). Dave will never steer you wrong on steers :-/ read more

Suburbia Meats to quote Tina Turner is simply the best. I have tried every place that sells prime meats and hands-down suburbia always outshine them all. Dave is always welcoming, informative and helpful. If you're going to spend money on prime meat, don't waste it go to suburbia. read more

This place is a family favorite! Not only do they have good quality meat and friendly staff, they also have musical instruments for kids to play. My (toddler) son always looks forward to going to the butcher to with the electric guitar and get a balloon. read more

Stopped in on Father's Day to grab some last minute filet mignons. Staff was extremely accommodating & professional. Great conversation with the butcher who butterflied my selections. Would definitely recommend if you are in the market for a local butcher. Prices were fair. Looking forward to returning for some more meat & potentially another guitar pick! read more

Great selection of meat. Staff is very helpful. Really cool spot! Will be a repeat customer. read more

If you want good food, a good butcher and good service go down the road to A&S. I walked into suburbia asking for top sirloin sliced and was told, "I don't have any right now because I already cut them, i I don't really want to cut anymore steaks." No offer of an alternative. No suggestions. Nothing. Just a blank dumb stare. No worries. A&S was awesome. It was like driving down the block and walking into a Brooklyn butcher. You can keep the south Merrick attitude. I'm good. read more

Outstanding cut of veal chop for Father's Day. Our grill master brought out the character and flavor of the chop.

Meats, prepared foods and deli all great. Friendly, knowledgeable and engaged service. And the guitar and concert memorabilia is sweet.

This is the best meat shop on Long Island and the owner Dave is awesome. Aside from having the best cuts of meat, he plays great music and always greets the customers with a smile. On more than one occasion when I purchased a really big order he has offered to have it delivered to my house and put in the freezer for me. (I have never taken him up on it but being that I am disabled, I may start) Side note..... His prices are no higher than the supermarket read more

Thanksgiving success. Not everyone likes turkey so I also prepare a meat on Thanksgiving. I told Dave I was thinking about smoking a leg of lamb. He said, "Low & Slow, I love it. Say no more. When do you want to pick it up?" It was cold outside on Thanksgiving but I followed Dave's advise about smoking and my Traeger Smoker worked well. The result was the following: Lots of left-over turkey but all the lamb was gone. My wife finished off the bone and asked me to say,,,,,Thank you Dave & Richie read more

I called on a Friday morning at 7:15am to ask if they had a small fresh ham. The man who answered said NO and we don't open until 10:00... then he proceeded to hang up on me even though the website said they open at 7:00 am. How rude!!! I will NEVER go to this Butcher nor recommend it to anyone!! Obnoxious!!! read more

Great service! Dave the owner is so genuine and kind. Phenomenal selections, genuine staff!

Great place to buy a whole pig for a roast. Bought pigs from them twice already and price is equal to others. Pigs were delicious! read more

My GF has been getting various meats from Suburbia during the pandemic. She calls it in and we go the parking lot and they come out with the order. Suburbia's beef, chicken, lamb, veal always tastes better and is tenderer than any supermarket meats. Their meats are always superb. So Suburbia is worth it! read more

Not what I was expecting at all - a rock and roll butcher. Selection was great. Prices are reasonable. Very clean and just a great hometown experience. I can't wait to come back again. read more

Hands down the absolute best meats and pasta sauces we have ever purchased. The owner and staff are extremely helpful. We always know that anything we purchase from Suburbia will be of the best quality and very happy that they also deliver. read more

After purchasing chicken cutlets I returned home to discover meat was very sticky and felt it was not fresh. It's my understanding it is not good when it's very sticky on your hands. I went back and nicely asked if I could return it. The butcher said it's fine and my response was I'm sorry I'd just like to return it. When I approached the register a man came charging out like a pit bull screaming at me not to ever come in his store and say his product is bad. I was shocked how rude he was and said I had spent a lot of money there and there was no excuse to speak to me that way and that I certainly would never be back. I've since learned his name is Dave, and he should not praise his work with rock stars if he treats his regular customers so poorly. I'd like to see him speak to a man that way or one of his rock stars! What a pos! Guess I have to give one sta to post this which it doesn't deserve! read more

Their meat is good but on the expensive side. I'm writing this review because they have no sense of courtesy for their customers. I stopped in to pick up some meat for my family before our camping trip the next day. It was about 8:30 am, and I understand that's earlier than standard business hours, so I checked their hours on google before I went. It indicated they were open from 7:00 am. I pulled into the parking lot walked over to the front and say a big prominent "OPEN" sign hanging in the front window. The door was locked but I saw someone inside so I knocked. Immediately, the owner rushed over to the locked door and screamed at me "we open at 9:00 ! Don't you see the sign ?!" I said "I see the sign" posting to the OPEN sign in the window. "No ! 9:00 !" he yelled again. I noticed then that he was pointing to a much smaller sign in the window that listed, the store weekly hours and, indeed, indicated that the store opened at 9:00. What I'm annoyed about was the compete lack of courtesy and class displayed by the owner during this encounter, yelling at me through the door in a fairly derisive and dismissive manner. You lost a fairly regular customer. read more

This is the best & only place to buy meat products in Nassau County. Dave & Richie are great to deal with, very accommodating. We only shop there because the quality is so good. read more

My favorite place to get the best cuts of meat. Try their bone in rib eyes ( the best ever) I actually prefer it to any I get at steak houses. I have been going there for over twenty years and cannot remember ever being disappointed. Well done Dave !! read more

i bought 2 tomahawk steaks from suburbia. i got to my house to grill them and realized i got ripped off. i took them to another local butcher and he told me these are the thinest cut i have ever seen, there was no tomahawk bone, he had also said they were very fatty. the buther found out the price i paid and asked me how thats possible, i didnt know i dont know that much about steaks, ive always wanted to try a tomahawk steak. he said i was ripped off and lied to. he saw i was upset because i really believed the butcher in suburbia. he asked me to hold on a second. he handed me to tomahawk steaks and said i hope you enjoy them, i said how much do i owe you, he said nothing, just remember not all butchers are liers and want to rip off our customers. i was tearing, i said i promise you ill be payng it forward!!! thanks to him i had the best steak! as for suburbia, ill never go there again and ill be telling this story to all my friends. f/u suburbia read more

Dave and his team are great. Fun musical atmosphere and HIGH QUALITY meats. Also offers a variety of pre-made things like kabobs that you can pick up after work and make for dinner. This is the only butcher I shop at read more

Great meat shop! They are always helpful and have excellent quality. We have been shopping here for 30 years! Love Dave!

I've been using Surburbia for years. The quality of meat can't be beaten especially the hamburger meat. Yes you pay more but will taste the difference. Also need to look at getting side dishes. Always fresh and prepared in store. It doesn't hurt they play awesome music. read more

Suburbia Prime Meats provides excellent quality meat for a very reasonable price with a rock and roll ambience surrounding the place of business. They provide cooking instructions for all of their products and provide excellent customer service. read more

Extremely overpriced meats, no prices on most items... Our meat has been spoiled on multiple occasions which is not ok for a private butcher. Owners were extremely rude and said nasty things when we went to return the spoiled steak they sold us that ruined our Saturday evening meal. Avoid this dump of an establishment! read more

Always fresh meats in a friendly atmosphere. Love the "rock and roll butcher"! Simply the best meats around!

Suburbia is the best! There is a noticeable difference in the quality of the meat. I just moved back from the city and get meat there for every special occasion as we did when I was a kid growing up in Bellmore. I remember going with my mom and helping to pick out what I wanted for Sunday dinner. Of course it's more money than the supermarket but that's because the meat is a better quality and more flavorful. The staff is incredibly helpful and will happily advise you on how much you need when you tell them how many guests etc. One time, owner David made a delivery for us on his way home since the delivery guy had left already. You don't get that kind of service anymore unfortunately. I highly recommend this "old school" neighborhood butcher. read more

The best butcher in Long Island they have the best beef pin wheels on this earth, they are a must.

If you want the best food in New York...Get to this place as fast as you can. Buy everything...Buy an extra ice box to keep the amazing meat, side dishes and cheese that they sell. It is a ten star place. Stay awhile and chat with the very wonderful men who work at this facility. It is a destination place. read more
