Staubitz Market Meats

Love, love, love Staubitz best meat market! I walked by forever and finally decided to stop in few months back and now has turned into a weekly must. I absolutely love this family business with the historic family portraits in the store over the years. Best meats and service in the area. They also have a nice selection of sauces, italian items, and Amy’s Bread.
Not sure why others have stated Staubitz is expensive, as I think they are very reasonable in comparison to Dellapietras. As Dellapietras which generally seems to run double the price no where near the same level of service.

I go to Staubitz when I don’t have the energy to walk further to Los Paisanos. While I have been shopping here for 10 years, you’d never know it by the attitude.
Two of the younger butchers are friendly and polite — a woman and a young guy; but they are the exceptions. I assume the grumpy attitude is dictated by the owners, son and dad. It is not unusual to hear bitching about customers arriving just before closing (seriously, 4.40pm is imposing on your time?) or cursing behind the counter.
I’m over it. Would it kill you to crack a smile?

My wife shops here all the time and the meats are awesome!

There’s often a massive line out the door of Staubitz, and for good reason.
The narrow space is packed to the ceiling with pastas, condiments, specialty preserved goods. On the left is the counter, with a huge selection of conventional and dry aged, grass fed beef. I’ve been a handful of times – for a delicious, grass fed ribeye, beef bones for Phở, and tenderloin for tartare that they ground for me.
The last time I went, I paid $ 38 for a 16oz dry aged, grass fed ribeye, and a 10oz portion of tenderloin: Slightly pricier than Whole Foods but the quality of the product is so much better.

A real butcher in Brooklyn. Great knowledge of meats. A bit on expensive side but worth it.

I love living in a neighborhood where historic, gourmet places like Staubitz thrive.
This charming little butcher shop/​market sells high-​quality and often imported oils, meats, cheeses, pastas, and more. So, essentially all my favorite foods.
I will say that I prefer Paisanos, a butcher just a few blocks away, because of price point and ambiance. But Staubitz is still a neighborhood staple!

Great place, a cobble Hill Icon.
Employees are very nice, place is always clean and the food, pure amazing

A visit here makes for an excellent Sunday stroll stop.
«Our meat market started out in Germany, too, but we’ve been much longer in New York than Lobel’s,» the head butcher proudly told me at Cobble Hill’s Staubitz Market, which was established in the neighborhood when it was known as South Brooklyn back in 1917. The place is now a butcher and gourmet grocery, peddling some of the best looking prime meat you’ve ever seen.
One of the virtues of this establishment is the range of steaks offered — not just filets, strips, porterhouses, and ribeyes, but prime versions of skirt, hanger, and Newport steaks, too, at correspondingly lower prices. And there’s no better place in the five boroughs to experience that old butcher shop feel, with the smell of blood in your nostrils.”

Great meat, great customer service, always willing to assist with extra requests. Well done Staubitz!

the ultimate test on how you trust your butcher is when you buy ground beef for steak tartare. fragrant-​fresh, intensity-​tasty, fat-​free has to be. i lived in manhattan, in brooklyn and now i m in queens and when i needed steak tartare no matter how inconvenient it is, i land in staubitz.
to be or not to be, staubitz is it.

I wish it had a better selection of fresh exotics but unfortunately i don’t think they do enough business to have anything out of the ordinary that isn’t frozen. I couldn’t even get 5 pounds of chicken wings fresh. They said only frozen. Sometimes friendly, sometimes snooty. Now I just walk extra to go to Paisanos first, since I end up going there anyway more than half the time. They rock it there.

this is my absolute favorite butcher shop in NYC. they carry the finest meats and really great cheeses, as well as a selection of crackers/​breads, condiments, and spreads. i love making a nice spread out of stuff from here when we have guests, go to parties, or have picnics. these guys are always super nice, super helpful, and never make me feel bad when i say i want enough of X for 4 people instead of an actual weight. staubitz is the reason why i can’t go back to being vegetarian. seriously.

What a treat! I heard about this famous butcher shop and recently upon meeting a friend for breakfast had an opportunity to stop in. It has the feel of an old neighborhood butcher shop with quality meats and men who can provide the guidance to cook it to perfection. My quest for the visit was to purchase rubs. To my delight the guy spent 10 minutes schooling me on the different types and detailing how best they are to be used. I bought three and followed his directions with a great outcome. He also explained the aging of their steaks which will be my next purchase but first I need to cook the ones already in my freezer. I did purchase the oxtails which looked amazing. Looking forward to my next visit. You can tell the team has great pride and knowledge in what they do!

When it starts to get cold, I like to make short rib stew in my slow cooker. It’s sort of my intro to November, if you will. Anyway, I decided to check out Staubitz for short ribs. I was afraid that they would be very pricey, since this place has a reputation for costliness (as well as quality). The short ribs were 9.99 and looked lovely. Oxtails were 7.99. I thought the pricing was fair. I know this is not bargain-​basement pricing, but I went ahead and bought the shortribs, which were very nicely wrapped for me. Out of curiosity, I stopped in at Union Market and their short ribs were 12.99 a pound, and no oxtails.
Stew turned out great. I don’t cook red meat all that much but when I do I think I’ll give Union Market a miss and head straight to Staubitz.

Jeffrey who used to be at Essex street market is the butcher here now. Enough said really. So happy I stopped in!

I Love Staubitz… Ok, thats my review. .
Sigh… okok I get to write more than that.
I’ve been comin to this place since i was a lil kid & before the McFadden family took over.
Nothing but the best… no — the B-​E-​S-​T!
Prime Meats (of course) — cheese & bread selection — (for a wedding photo shoot; I had the limo driver stop here for pâté, bread & cheese!) — condiments, rubs, sauces, jams, advice! :)
Over the past 5 years or so, I’ve cut down on my meat considerably…
Then one of my old friends tells me he’s getting married & moving to the UK & another who’s err single now, tells me he misses my cookin…
I ended up spending about $ 200 on fresh meats –vacuum sealed to cook up a Feast!
Yep! Nothin but the BEST!
Ya pay a lil more at Staubitz…
I’m happy to pay for the level of service and quality the McFaddens & their crew provide!
Check ‘em out! :)

Good
On meats
But fewer
Sausages than
Paisanos. Lots of sauces for small shop.

What a great butcher shop. it’s hard to find a better spread of beef. The marbled beef is drool-​worthy. I didn’t see a porterhouse in the display case, so I asked one of the guys if they had any in back. They went to the back, and pulled out the biggest slab of beef I’ve ever seen. Then they asked me how thick, and cut a 1″ slab for me. It was one of the nicest cuts of meat I’ve had. Definitely coming back for more.

I’m a huge supporter of locally owned business. They take pride in work and this is another place that deserves to be recognized. I just started to wander around Cobble Hill and found this place. It’s a little butcher shop with a cool neon sign. Once you walk inside the smell of fresh meats hit you. It can vary from person to person whether or not it smells good or bad to them.
They have a few good selections of sauces, marinades and spices. The staff is very helpful to any questions you have. If I wasn’t going to be walking around most of the day I would have picked up some meat. I didn’t want to be «that guy» on the train with a bag of smelly meats.
Definitely a place I would come back to!

They have anything and everything meat-​related. Not just the tasty flesh itself; I was actually particularly impressed by the back wall. They appear to have every sort of sauce, spice, marinade, mustard or anything else you could possibly want to add flavor to the meat on the other side.
However, although I can appreciate the history given that Staubitz has been there for over 100 years… that evidently means prices have been rising for that long as well.

As I was writing this review, I asked the two girls I was with for something good to write about meat shops.
The first instantly lowered her voice and said, «MEEEAAAATTT.»
The second responded, «SAUUUUSSAAGEEEEE.»
Those are some smart girls.
