Truglio’s Meat Market

Amazing quality meats. Coming from Texas, a well-​cut steak can be hard to find up here — they do an amazing job! And the staff couldn’t be more friendly! Love supporting their local biz!

So happy to find a great local butcher! I called a day ahead to make sure that they had what I wanted. They were nice enough to put the meat on hold until I could get there. The pricing was also great. Especially when I did a price comparison to an expensive grocery store. The quality of the meat was great too. I would highly recommend them and I will defintely be back.

The last few NY Strips I have gotten were not impressive at all. I don’t think I’ll be going back.

First time customer, bought the skirt steak and it was simply phenomenal on the grill. I will never buy meat at a Hoboken grocery store again. Great prices and friendly staff. Cash only.

Place is dynamite. Have everything you could hope for. Just got some ribs from them & couldn’t be happier. What really sends this place over the top is the people there. Know what they’re doing. A+

We have been coming here for years. This place is the best & is a model of how ALL business’ should be run. Quality product and friendly helpful owners & staff. They could charge more for this caliber of meat but they are fair & realize that they make money on happy customers that return & tell their friends. So I’m spreading the word; it’s all good.
PS — Dear Hipster, all cows are grass fed & worry about your own taxes

Great butcher with great cuts! Never a bad cut

My boyfriend picked up two filets for our Valentine’s Day dinner this past winter. Not only were they gigantic, delicious, and tender, they were a great deal for their size. I’m writing this review late because we’re thinking about getting them again soon! Highly recommend!

Be warned that once you start to get your meats here, you can’t shop at normal grocery stores again.
Excellent meats, great quality. We normally opt for filet mignon, skirt steak, sirloin steak, t-​bone… So basically every cut they offer. The meat is delicious! The bacon is pretty good — I normally get thick cut bacon.
This shop is cash only so remember to bring cash!

Sorry not to be as enthusiastic as you, guys, but I went once (on a recommendation of very good friends) and was disappointed for 2 main reasons :
1. When I asked the boss about the origin of the cow nutrition, he told me: «we have no grass-​fed meat here». I first thought he was kidding, but unfortunately, he wasn’t… The good thing is that he didn’t lie.
2. You can only pay by cash and I don’t really like that. First, this is not convenient for the customer and secondly, this is not transparent regarding taxes…
The meat we ate was very tasty and wonderful regarding the taste, but I feel like I absolutely don’t want to be antibiotic– and hormons-​fed.

This place is great. My boyfriend and I bought porterhouse steaks here today and they are probably the best things we’ve ever cooked. They are so helpful and even let us run out to get cash because we didn’t have enough!

The highest quality meat brought to you by the highest quality people.
I had just moved to Hoboken and it was my first time at Truglio’s. I picked out about $ 75 worth of meat to purchase for a BBQ that day and just then discovered it was ‘cash only’. I offered to go get cash, and come back, but they insisted I take the meat, go enjoy my BBQ and then come back tomorrow with payment.
Not only will you get fantastic quality but you are also supporting a business run by fantastic people. Enjoy!

We live around the corner from Truglio’s. Joe, Steve and the crew make you feel like family: old school in the best of possible ways. This is the place where many of the local restaurants procure their meats, and it is easy to see why. The quality is terrific.

This family owned gem is my go to place for meat. They are also very reasonably priced. Aside from the weekly meats we pick up my family gets our Turkeys and Hams here for Thanksgiving and Christmas and they have yet to disappoint.
They have even offered to filet fish we caught on a fishing trip one year.
What makes this place 5 stars for me though are the owners and the people that work there. Whether its offering me coffee or just chatting with me about my day they are always very friendly and welcoming. I have even seen them sharing a cup of coffee with the mail delivery people and the gentleman that cleans the streets. Such loving caring people.
While they are cash only, they do take checks.
Little factoid: They deliver meat to a lot of local businesses in Hoboken so you have probably have eaten some of their steaks, ribs, pork chops or cutlets without even knowing ;)

Great experience every single time. Customer service is top notch. Never had anything but high quality meat.

Best butcher in hoboken. My go to for brisket, ribs, steaks of any cut and ribs. Family run and very nice and reasonably priced.

My happy place… Coming from Texas I miss having easy quick access to perfect steaks. Missing no longer that is! Truglios is outstanding. Just phenomenal. Their sirloin is our favorite, and my husband nearly cries if they don’t have it that day. Beautiful marbling, gorgeous cuts… drool. The most wonderful people as well, very helpful with cooking tips and they are always happy to let me call in orders and pick them up later (even if it’s pouring rain and I’m late!!). We have Truglio’s night every week now.
Also worth noting it is VERY reasonable for the quality you’re getting. If you know how much a real, good Prime cut is, you’ll be floored at how affordable they are. If you’re used to buying things that come in styrofoam and plastic wrap, you might not be…

One of the easiest reviews in terms of stars that I have given — a no doubt 5.
Went here today (Saturday) to get a steak — any steak. I was ready to cook their best piece; I was cooking for 1 tonight. Without hesitation the woman behind the counter grabbed the strips while keeping me in conversation about what would accompany. «Potatoes?» she asked. Of course, potatoes! And asparagus.
Anyway, the steak was insanely good. I only wish they were open tomorrow (a Sunday) so that I could get another!
Will be back. A lot.

I got a nice rib eye steak from here for a special occasion meal. The guy asked how I was going to cook the steak, so he trimmed the meat and cut it ideally for pan frying. I was also pleasantly surprised that he charged me for the meat after he trimmed it. A lot of butchers I’ve been to in the past will weigh it prior to trimming and charge me that amount.
Definitely a gem in uptown Hoboken. Hope to come here more often.

This is the top butcher in Hoboken. Fresh cuts of meat for much more lower prices than Whole Foods. We always get our hamburger meat mix here and they cut and grind it fresh for us.
Cash only.
