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 came back this time and ordered off the regular menu, not the family package, for takeout again…read more Now I get the comments about the mac and cheese wasn't good like the last time I had it. Not enjoyable at all this time and too many breadcrumbs among other reasons. I couldn't eat it. We also ordered the brisket and it wasn't that much for the price but my family member mentioned they liked it. ( apparently, any sauce is an extra $ it comes dry?? ) Fries were not good- sad to say not many fries I do not like- I mean c'mon it's a French fry - did not taste good and VERY salty. Pricy and small for what we ordered and I/ we did not enjoy it. We are so disappointed as we were excited for this addition to Main St.

This is a nice one-stop shop filled with a huge variety of items. We were able to score alcoholic ciders, seasonings for unreasonably cheap prices, and more. There's everything from pasta and sauce to countless snacks. We left with armfuls of items because we couldn't resist. At incredible prices, this shop is certainly one to visit for pantry staples alone.

The guy at the counter refused to look at us or answer any questions. ( we were the only one in the shop) I asked him a question and he said with a nasty attitude that it wasn't for us. He was rude and disrespectful and showed his contempt for us for just being in the store. The meat selection wasn't great. I don't know if it was because we are a black couple . ( this is an Asian place) I felt that I was in the Jim Crow south. Do not give them your money!!!!

Every Christmas roast and Thanksgiving turkey has come from them. Their chicken ( white meat) is unbelievably tender.

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.

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.

Solid amount of parking available of this very cool, "old school" butcher shop. In this instance, "old school" means an absolute full service butcher shop, where they treat the customers well! It felt like a family affair, the nice young man that took my order gave helpful advice. They cut "country pork chops" to order, they cooked very nicely in a sauce. I also picked up their sweet pork sausage, also great in the sauce. Perhaps the highlight for me were a couple of super tender and beefy NY strips! Had a great experience at Wyckoff Prime Meats and I'll be back!
