The Meat Hook

Hands down the best butcher in BK!
And the people who work here are helpful, friendly and most importantly, really really good at what they do!!!

Been coming here for years. Love this place. Pasture raised meat with every cut imaginable. Even hard to find items like offal, bones, feet, etc. If you’re into that sort of thing. The sausages and charcuterie selections are also top notch. Worth every penny.

this butcher shop is pretty cool they sell a lot more than just meat they also offer cooking classes and other kitchenware. the quality of meat is decent just wished it was trimmed better. i been to the meat hook about 3 – 4 times now but for some reason i was never been able to get myself a porter house they always say they ran out. one of my main complaint is that the cuts are a little over price. also i feel like the guy behind the register is a little off when we were paying for the new york strip the phone rang and he looked at me and told me «I’m not picking that up»… i thought that was unprofessional but what really upset me was the he charged me for two spices that i didn’t buy and when i confronted him he said it was a mistake. this place is cool but just needs some different employees

The butcher of my dreams. I don’t eat very much meet, so when I do, it should be the best. Right?
The young men working here are adorable and so helpful. The sausage is to die for. Recently, I was in desperate need of some authentic beef broth. There was none at the counter but the helpful butcher went into the back and found some for me.

Drove down from upstate today to pick up a pork shoulder. I called on Saturday night to ask if I would need to place an order and they told me no, they were getting pigs in on Monday morning and would have pork shoulder Monday afternoon. When I showed up they didn’t have any pork shoulder and they hadn’t gotten pigs in. I usually love this place but this was a huge pain in the ass and a big mistake on their part. Wish they would have at least offered to make it up to us somehow, especially after the drive from upstate. Will think twice about coming back.

Have to give the coveted 5 star rating,
This place has been my go to for lamb, sausage, pork, poultry, beef, and charcuterie products for years now. They deliver top quality brands + in house products that rival those brands any day of the year. Super knowledgable staff of butchers and teachers — check out their courses — with a storefront packed with foodie goodies from discounted All Clad & Mauviel roasting pans to hard to find Japanese steel blades that would make any serious cook blush. Seriously, go check out their gear — I picked up my roasting pan there for way cheap as it was a floor model. Thank you BK MH!
The best thing about this place is that they source their products tooth and nail to ensure that the farmers represented are A. the real deal and B. get compensated accordingly. The second best thing would have to be their awesome team of old school butchers. These gals and guys know their craft and are dedicated to education and excellent service. They also know the ins and outs of preparing and cooking various cuts of meats so do ask.
So what are you waiting for? Now I’m drooling and thinking about getting there tomorrow for some beef shanks. That’s right. For beef shank French Dip sandwiches… They have all the ingredients!

Whenever we throw a BBQ or want a good piece of steak for dinner, Meat Hook is where I go. There’s an amazing selection of sausages, and I can try interesting items like lamb bacon, and just find a really good cut of tenderloin or even a delicious burger ground beef mix! The guys working there are knowledgeable and friendly.
It also doesn’t hurt that Meat Hook is inside Brooklyn Kitchen where I can browse and usually find a few extra ingredients to add to the menu :)

Where The Meat Hook really excels are their ground beef and their sausages, especially the sausages. Even wacky sounding flavors are delicious, and they always have a variety of meats represented. Did I mention the SAUSAGES? Each one I have tried is truly special. The ground beef is done every day, and has the perfect meat to fat ratio. The butchers are helpful, professional, and clearly love what they do.
The only thing keeping me from giving this place a perfect score is that some of the steaks are not trimmed as much as I would like. I totally enjoy some fat on my steak, and understand that some cows just have more fat, but I’m paying for meat and there’s only so much fat I can eat in one sitting.
All in all though, The Meat Hook is great. Their stocks are very good too; the bones have clearly been simmered for a long time and tons of collagen extracted. I mostly fortify them with wine and aromatics for braising liquid, which can then be easily reduced to a sauce without the need for roux. Well done (unlike how I cook your burger meat).

The staff is incredibly knowledgable and friendly. I go here about 1 – 2 times a week and always find myself using their vast selection to get creative with my cooking. When I am stuck, the butchers are more than happy to help me craft what to do with my meal that night. I could not recommend this place more. A+

It is hard not to go there every day. The meat is so good. So good. Sooooo good.

I will never ever buy meat at a restaurant knowing that I can get great quality meat at Meat Hook and cook it at home. The meat here is fantastic seriously I cannot think of anywhere else to buy meat in the neighborhood. I would only only go for the meats everything else is kinda expensive. If you’re looking for other quality ingredients they got it.

A friend and myself just went to Meathook for the first time, I’ve wanted to try it for a while and was very excited!
We ordered sandwiches and waited patiently, she received her sandwich and I told her to go ahead and eat it. I then see everyone who ordered after me get their sandwich. When I inquired about when mine would be coming they looked at me with blank stares. The girl prepping the sandwich was on her phone, also the same girl who i ensured had a dessert sent to her when I overheard it was her birthday at the restaurant I work in. They then replied it will be out eventually… My friend finished her sandwich and I asked for my money back.
I would not return, not because of the wait time but because of the lack of customer service from
Both counter girls.

Amazing. I decided last minute that I wanted to make something special for my husband and meathook came through in the clinch.

Banh mi sausage, awesome dog bones, and other great meat-​based items in this spot shared w/​Brooklyn Kitchen.

Ditto the earlier commenter who called it «a hipster’s Williams and Sonoma.» Not that there’s anything wrong with that! They have kitchenwares and grocery in addition to the meats. I peaked into the space where they hold their classes and was impressed by the full and varied calendar: knife skills, pizza-​making, pickling, sausage-​making. Will definitely be back to check those out.

This place is in kind of an odd location, a little hard to access, but worth the trip. Not only can you find all kinds of unique dry goods and kitchen supplies, they also have a small grocery area stocked with great food. The meat is absolutely incredible and the #1 reason to come here, of course. If you’re at all intimidated at the concept of going to an actual butcher, don’t be! They are super helpful and really easy to talk to — just let them know what you’re looking for in terms of taste and they’ll have many suggestions to help you out. You get to really appreciate the quality of their meat, even though it’s a lot more expensive than your average grocery store. Plus you have the added bonus of knowing that it was all humanely raised, so you can feel less guilty about your carnivorous tendencies. Oh yeah. And they make sandwiches, too!

This must be the most exciting butcher shop I’ve ever seen in my life! I could spend hours here. Quality is their nickname. Here I discovered the whipped marrow, stuffed pork face cut in see-​through slices, homemade sausages – many kinds. They have big oil barrels, fresh produce, the bread is outstanding. There is nothing they don’t have, you can purchase the beast from nose to tail, just ask them and they’ll bring all the parts from the back. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly. They have cooking classes too.
The Meat Hook is not for the faint of heart, as it’s pricey. Bring your gold card along, you’ll need it! Worth every penny.
P. S. There is a platform weight machine that is leveled with the floor and you can step right on it and see your weight on the big dial. My boyfriend does it all the time.

Came here on a mini self-​guided «Brooklyn Sandwich» tour to try to «Cold Roast Pork» sandwich but accidentally ordered the «Hot Roast Pork.» No worries though — this sandwich was meaty heaven. I’m still thinking about it, 4 days later.
So, while this sandwich was meat heavy, it did have good sauce and pickles and other toppings and a great bread that rounded out the sandwich. The waffle fries are also good here — your standard cut reminiscent of Chick-​Fil-​A but somehow better.
This is a cute little shop with only 3 tables and about 8 seats available, so be prepared to go for take-​out or share with a stranger.
I would definitely go back to try their other sandwiches!

I am really happy to report a great experience at The Meat Hook.
Sara reached out and asked me to come back and give them another try. As always the place was buzzing on Saturday afternoon but all of the staff I spoke with were very attentive and helpful.
We decided to have a little surf and turf for dinner to celebrate my new love for seafood so we stopped in to pick up some filet mignon. The cut was great, beautiful, thick, juicy steaks. I was very pleased. I think the only disappointment is that I didn’t make beef wellingtons with these bad boys… mmmm next time.
Anyway, the staff at checkout were beyond nice. I was really impressed with them and how helpful they were. Definitely a better interaction than I had in the past.
I am looking forward to a lot more steak from The Meat Hook in my future!

This place is pricey but very cute. It’s like a Hipsters Williams Sonoma. I don’t know If i can afford to buy meat here everyday; but I would come if I am looking for some quality exotic cut.
They sell beer brewing things, cooking class and some cleaning materials upstairs. I saw a Japanese cleaning brush that i am fairly sure its marked up way over price… but lets not think about being frugal if you decide to shop here!
