Their hot dogs are slept on as cheap protein delivery, and I’ve always been so impressed that even in a short exchange in which I basically just say “hot dog,” the person across the counter always engages genuinely and warmly. Last Friday, I was preparing for a picnic and started talking to Geoff about their cured meats right before close. I left with incredible meat, new knowledge about butchering, and a real appreciation for Geoff and the sense of pride and caring I’ve always found there.

Both these sandwiches were great. They only have 2 sandwiches at this location. Their other spot in Indiustry City had a larger selection and burgers. We had the Roast Beast and the Hamwhich. The roast beats had grass fed beef, NY cheddar, smoked onion, dilli sauce and Watercress, served hot on a ciabatta bread. Really good and filling. The Hamwhich had smoked ham, warm goat cheese, calibrian chilli,local honey, apple and crispy onion. This sando does pack a little.heat, so be careful if you can't handle spice. This had layers of flavor and the chilli gives it a kick.

I'm a big fan of sandwiches, and although roast beef isn't usually my first choice, their Roast Beast sandwich might just be my favorite in all of lower Manhattan, where I live.

I love using their bone-in pork chops for katsu, which typically has excellent marbling and a nice reddish hue. While dry-aged beef is a bit of a treat, I usually opt for a dry-aged beef patty for burgers, paired perfectly with poppy seed buns from Davidovich bakery. The best value comes from their ground beef and pork, both of which are of outstanding quality and make a delicious ragu, especially when you add some Italian sausage. The cold cuts and charcuterie are also good, but there's a vendor upstairs that offers a superior selection.

I opted for the regular burger, which comes with shredded lettuce, onions, and pickles. There were also options to add cheese for $2, bacon for $2, or both for $3, so I decided to go for both. The bacon was slightly overcooked but still enjoyable. The burger was larger than a Shake Shack burger, but not overwhelmingly so. I felt full but not uncomfortably so, making it the perfect sized meal.

I have visited many different butcher shops, and the level of customer service, education, and personal attention they provide is unmatched. Despite always being busy due to the quality of their meat, they still take the time to interact with each customer. In addition to their amazing meat, they also offer fantastic eggs, pantry items (especially their incredible olive oil), and have their own salumeria where they cure their own meats. They even have a cheese program with delicious selections. My favorite part of Saturday mornings is visiting ends meat and chatting with Gary or John about my weekly purchases, knowing I will be enjoying the finest meat New York has to offer in the days ahead. I do not work for them, but I highly recommend getting your meat exclusively from here.

Just awesome. I have no other words. The sausages and charcuterie are TOP notch, and all the meat is as fresh as it comes. 5/5. Would recommend anytime read more Just awesome. I have no other words.

Staff was friendly and helpful for premeal choice of beer and sandwich and post-meal choice of what to bring home and cook.

I’ve been to many different butchers, and the care they put into customer service, educating, and actually spending time with their customers is unmatched. Especially considering they are always busy because of how good their meat is! They also have incredible eggs, pantry items (their olive oil is insane), and they have their own salumeria where they cure their own meats. Their cheeses are delicious, and every Saturday morning they have fresh sourdough and baguettes from a local bakery. The best part of my Saturday morning is stopping in at ends meat and chatting with Gary or John about my weekly provisions, and knowing that I will be eating the best meat that New York has to offer in the coming days. No, I don’t work for them. And yes, you should stop getting your meat from anywhere but here.

I've had the Porchetta Sandwich twice now and it's one of the best one, no let's change to the BEST porchetta sandwich I have ever had. My husband and I each got our own sandwich this time so we didn't have to share. We've also had their dry aged cheeseburgers which were very good. Very knowledgeable butchers as well. A must visit for people who love good food.
