Reviews of Lobel's Prime Meats (Butcher Shop)

David Blaut

This review is based off my Yankee's stadium experience. Ordered the steak sandwich which was really good and the service was better than expected. Be prepared to wait in line though.

We've been their client all our adult lives. Now we're more into their prepared beef stew and gluten free meatballs than cuts of beef..........we are much more into "assembling" dinner than cooking it. We normally work with Stanley and their phone number in my Outlook Program is RE-7-1372. No "1". No "212". Not all numbers.

When I first started going to Lobels years ago it was a really special place. Even if you only went in a couple of times a year they were so nice and so helpful that it made it a unique customer service experience in NY. The meat has always been outrageously great and priced to match at about $60 a pound for strip. Most recently I had them deliver to my home and after talking me into 20oz steaks on the phone both steaks I go were underweight, one not by much the other by 10%. Now I was worried that there would not be enough for my guests. I called to complain about the steak size and they were quite rude about their mistake. They did offer to redo them but in such a way I felt badgered and belittled. I finally decided the best way to deal with it would be to get a third steak to be on the safe side. When I spoke to the manager to place the additional order I received neither an apology or a thank you. It will be a long time before I go to Lobels again. Since the opening of their new store and their online businesses have taken off I guess they don't care as much about customer service. To bad another great NY purveyor has gone down the tubes. Rudeness I can find any day in Manhattan.

Wagyu beef burgers. Delightful.

The best steaks out there -- and you pay for the quality. We've loved Lobel's for many years and recently did a "taste-off" with a friend who was skeptical you could tell the difference between Lobel's steaks and an excellent local butcher. Well... we won. We typically get their Wagyu skirt steak, top cap, and grill it simply with a little dry seasoning. It is the best. tasting. steak. there. is. Insanely delicious.

I ordered food from their online store on two occasions, I received the food days after I was supposed to the first time and had to throw it away. I am still waiting to get my second package days after my delivery date and I'm only an hour away in NJ. I called their customer care and didn't get any help other then my money back. I assume their food is good but it seems like I will never know.

Amazing meat the best I've ever had

Best Butcher in NYC! Lamb chops and burgers are out of this world

Renee Howell

I had mixed reviews. I'm still curious. I wonder do they sell authentic Kosher beef hotdogs, tongue, meat?

Jackson Roberts

I bought 5 lbs of pork butt and it cost me over 60$. The meat was good and I wanted to support my local butcher but it was too pricey for me.

I purchased two steaks last summer from Lobel's after knowing about their operation by reputation. When it comes to gourmet food, visual aesthetics are very important. The visual can affect the gustatory. For example, an unevenly cut steak doesn't cook as evenly and this affects the final product. I purchased a 20 oz dry aged ribeye and a 12 oz filet. The prices are available on the Lobel's site. To make a long story short, my ribeye had decent flavor, but was devoid of the succulent cap. This is a ribeye enthusiast's favorite part of the steak but alas, I ended up with a loin cut ribeye, nothing like is pictured on their site. The filet I received was poorly cut, tapered, and leaned. These qualities will affect how it cooks. I've attached pictures. You should look at these and compare with what's pictured on their site. At over sixty dollars a steak, it's not unreasonable to expect textbook perfection. I decided to give Lobel's another shot a few weeks ago and ordered a ribeye. Once again, it barely had a cap, and anatomically, was closer to a strip than a ribeye. I forgot to mention that the first time I ordered the ribeye and told them that I was disappointed it didn't have much of a cap, I was counseled to order from their Madison Ave. store at a higher price if I wanted to get a steak with a decent cap. Anyway, this last time, they emailed me wanting to me to review the product for posting on their site. I gave an honest, but pretty critical review. It never appeared on the site and I was never contacted about the review. Don't bother giving these people your time or money. They are trading on name only. There are better, high end, fresh never frozen, meat purveyors out there.

This place charges a fortune, but wow do they have an amazing product. I sous vide'ed two porterhouse and two bone-in ribeyes from Lobel's today. All steaks were 2" thick (maybe even slightly thicker). They were unbelievably perfect. Our guests loved them too! For convenience, I wish they would update their website to allow local New Yorkers to order for either delivery or pickup. They don't currently allow this. Also, their website does not allow you to order "wet aged" products, nor does it allow you to specify the thickness of the cut you want. If they fix these items, I'll raise my review to 6 stars.

Great, famous butcher shop

Robert E. Rupert

They are expensive yes, but worth every dollar. On Saturday I bought four pieces of filet mignon and they were fabulous. I had guests and decided on a steak night. It was worth every penny. Their meat is superb every time. The customer service from the butchers is also exceptional at Lobel's.

Chicken pot pie for $19.00 was full of potato chunks and celery - not much chicken. Don’t waste your money.

The meats are good but they are the worst at customer service.. It felt racist

Matthew Combs

Exceptional service, great to walk in, have a discussion on time and temperature and cooking methods for the best results on the best beef you can buy. Old school professional butchers with an incredible wealth of knowledge and expertise, and a great selection. If you need any specialty items, they're always happy to find them for you. Quail, Elk, Rabbit, you name it, they either have it or can get it and quality is always top notch.

Best butcher left in NYC you can't find butchers that trim meats in front of you any longer! I've gotten my fresh Turkey from them.... the best juiciest Turkey I've had since the 60's not frozen either,

louis fellman

Bought a rotisserie chicken today (4/15/16.) Unbelievable that they should charge so much for this tasteless bird. Go to Dickson's at the Chelsea Market for rotisserie. Their chicken is 5 star!

Roger Smith

One of the best butcher's in the world. The 48 oz dry aged porterhouse is the finest cut of steak I have encountered. By far!

Lobel's is truly an amazing meat supplier. Evan Lobel sold me veal liver that was as gourmet as it gets. When he asked me how I was to prepare it, and I told him, he prepared the liver beautifully so I had no work to do other than to cook it! As a chef and now a customer; Lobel's is the finest I've had in years. You want the best? Here it is, folks. Hmm, I wonder how their pastrami is?!?

pavle Stanimirović

Yes ☆☆☆☆☆of course only the very best ! Mr Stan AKA Vojislav Stanimirovic was supposed to be the first Working Partner outside the Lobel Family of Brothers back in the early 1970's Madison Ave as Mr Stan and Stan Construction Stanly Painting , was rebuilding Manhattan beautifying all buildings and every well known Gallery , or Museum and exactly even right next to this Legendary Place. This is the actually the best Kosher Steaks on the Market. & Best kept Secret ! Papi Steak should have options for his new Miami Steak House with Groot & David Grutman and Group. This will be beyond epic. Cant wait. NYC next. DALLAS ?

Belinda Chapman

The chicken and brocolli really good. I didnt finish it though. So wasteful shame on me. Will update once I take the gumbo out the freezer.
