Ridgewood Pork Store

Some women impulse buy shoes. I buy meat. Invariably, it winds up in the back of our freezer until I get inspired to do something with it. So it was with the Peppered-​Bacon we bought from here a couple months ago, which I recently unearthed:
Thick-​cut, chewy, and smoky, with a peppery kick, this is bacon that demands to be savored. Cherished even. We did exactly that, serving it alongside my latest brunch recipe crush, a kale-​kimchi omelette.
I was less enamored with the Ground Pork from here. While definitely more flavorful than the sad, overly lean Whole Foods or Fairway stuff I usually buy, I was looking for fatty and unctuous. (Alas, I think I will need to explore Chinatown for that).
That being said, this little shop offers friendly, personal service and samples of whatever charcuterie that may catch your eye. If I lived nearby, I’d be here all the time. Who needs shoes?

Great customer experience, the best meat shop in Brooklyn, definitely will come back. The guy Tom was very friendly and helpful, and let us try all different kinds of meat and cheese. Great great great experience.

Great customer service, samples of everything, low prices — an outstanding experience! Can’t wait for BBQ season!

To say this is the best smoked meat store in the 5 boroughs would be a gross understatement. It’s the best smoked meat store in the universe! With great prices too!

A very aged and old Pork Store that’s cash only, cheap prices and selling the best of fresh and clean tasting smoked meats, cheeses and sauerkraut that’s all done in house. Respect to the Ridgewood Pork Store for holding down the Ridgewood Community with the very best and keeping their prices competitive and fair. I hope they stay around forever!
This is my every Saturday stop and the fine gentleman working here on Saturday is charming, knowledgeable and super friendly!
* Best smoked cheese I have ever tasted *

I just went there for the first time and I will never go anywhere for meat again!!!
you walk in and it smells like amazing salami.
And the owners were sooo nice and very helpful.
And the meat was amazing!!! I got a half pound of German salami and it was gone by the next day!

This place is great! Amazing selection of delicious meats and with a super helpful staff. The smell of the place is heavenly. Try the smoked pork shoulder. Will be back again and again.

This place is incredible. They make tons of their products in-​house and there’s a really old-​school, small-​town vibe inside. Customer service is excellent: friendly, knowledgeable, amazing! I got some Swedish lingonberry preserves too.

Stopped in really quick because of the current reviews and you can not go wrong with the excellent service we received today.
The guy behind the counter was very informative and even let us have a sample to try of the smoked salami. I’m not a meat eating fan but my husband is and he went crazy ordering many things in here.
We walked out with paying only $ 27 and having a bunch of items. 4 sausages, ½lb peppered bacon, a block of aged cheddar cheese and 4 smoked pork chops. This review will be later updated based on the taste. I just felt the need to express how great this small place is. I love when I walk into places and get the best customer service ever.

The guys that run this place are not only knowledgable about their products, but they make great recommendations and are so friendly.
The first time I went here it was for cured meats… and they gave us samples of SIX different products that they make. I left with cured meat for days!
The second time I went here was to pick up pork shoulder for some homemade sausage I was making. I left with 10lbs of pork shoulder and 2lbs of their cured bacon (most of which went into a chicken sausage I was making as well.)
THE BEST BACON OF MY LIFE.
A must visit if you like quality meat and are in the Bushwick/​Ridgewood area.

Great old school butcher. Much more than just pork too like rabbit, awesome dried and smoked sausages lamb and beef, smoked duck is amazing.

I left here with about ten pounds of meat and paid $ 20. Need I say more? Yes. They are really generous with samples and are knowledgeable, friendly, and enthusiastic. My current smoked meat obsession is a dried salami-​like meat made with white wine and hazelnuts.

Tom and the owner are the friendliest, most helpful people in Ridgewood. They know more about the art of living than one could dream.
If cured meats and genuine folks are your things, go no further.

I just visited for the first time this Saturday. I was really impressed. I told the guy working the counter that I wasn’t familiar with a lot of their meat, and I was just looking for something to grill. He was really friendly, and he took a lot of time with me, and gave me a wide variety of things to sample.
They slice this smoked lamb with rosemary, and it’s great on sandwiches. I also got some smoked beef sliced for sandwiches, and you have to see this stuff to believe it – it’s marbled like a good steak. Boar’s Head is dead to me.
I wound up buying a lot. I expected to pay twice as much, and I would’ve been happy to do that. I was blown away by how great this place is in every way. I’m coming back every week.

You can smell the smoke house working from two blocks away. Bought some smoked & fresh sausage for the Easter holiday and some cevapi just in time for grilling season. I did pretty good for $ 30.00.

The other day I was at a farmers market on Long Island and Ridgewood pork store had a little stand. The man that was working was nice and offered me to try some of the selections they had. The smoked pork loin is incredible! I ended up taking plenty home with me. Most smoked meats are pretty dry. Not this one… It was really juicy in the center and was very very delicious. If you are a fellow pork lover you have to go to this place.

This is one of the best cured Eastern European Stores. If you are uncertain what the meats are, Borov will slice you up samples, along with a to-​go meat stick. They have MANY different types of dried sausages from Krakowska Kielbasa to Chorizo. They are open til 5pm everyday, and the prices are great. I bought 3 dried sausages and a ½ lb of serbian sausage sliced for under $ 10. Close to the Dekalb L stop. I will be coming here from now on. Support local eastern european delis.
