The Meat House

Friendly and helpful staff. The crab-​cake po’boy had great flavor — like a po’boy should — tasted like Louisiana. The wine and beer and non-​alcohol selection was varied, as was the cheese selection. The store also offers many, unique and interesting food items from local and major vendors — fresh items too. This is a nice neighborhood grocery store that I would go to (if I lived in area) for items for a picnic, informal party. Good place to have lunch or supper sandwich — good sandwiches — with places to eat outside (in summer) — i don’t know about seating for colder months. Also this is a good place to pick up the milk, bread, fruit, meat.

What a disappointment. We are new to the neighborhood, and are looking for a new butcher. We found a coupon for this place and decided to check it out. Though the prices are steep, the quality looked good. The butcher, Scott, behind the meat counter was incredibly helpful and friendly, and answered all of our questions about placing upcoming holiday orders. We thought we’d found our new spot, and then we got to the register where all that changed. The woman ringing us up ruined the whole experience. She refused to accept the coupon, claiming an error that was all the printer’s fault. No apology, no concession. She was just rude and abrasive, as if we’d done something wrong. Someone needs to teach her some customer service before she loses the business more patrons. First impressions are lasting. Too bad The Meat House won’t be able to make a second one on us, cause we’ll never go back.

I’m on a mission to eat all of there sandwiches. Haven’t had a bad one yet. Definitely Tip with a Kick is the best one yet! Besides the sandwiches, this place is has awesome steaks and other meats at the butcher counter. Steaks are out of this world.

I have been shopping here about a year and a half, typically once a week. Their turkey burgers with feta and sun dried tomatoes are unbelievably good, and we also love the maple bourbon chicken breasts. For a real treat, the KC rubbed rib eye steaks are hard to beat.
I’ve always had attentive service, and they have an excellent selection of interesting microbrews. As far as pricing goes, pretty much between supermarket (shop-​rite) and specialty (Barth’s or Kings).
Big fan of the place– try them.

I had my first experience at the Meat House. I bought the strip steak with house marinate and grilled it on my charcoal Webber and my family went nuts. We loved it and I can’t wait to go back. Worth the 30 minute ride.

Excellent cuts of meat, side dishes, soups, salad bar and seafood. Wonderful customer service. It’s totally the kind of place where they get to know their customer’s names and preferences. They also know their products well and make great recommendations for accompaniments and wines. Not the place to go for a bag of potato rolls if you’re looking for a bargain. But I you happen to be buying their amazing burgers and don’t feel like running up to King’s for equally expensive rolls… And there you have it. My favorites are the chicken salad, cheeseburger Mac soup, vegetable soup, and those darn «granola bars» from Pennsylvania. Great wine and craft beer selection, too!

I’m not a «meat» girl, but this is one of my favorite little places to head to when I want to make a nice meal. With a full selection fresh meats and poultry, not to mention a whole seafood section, fresh veggies, wines and cheeses, cold cuts, fresh salads, marinades and much more, it’s more than just a meat shop.
The meat was great (we ordered three kinds) and the fish was incredible. I got halibut, which is not something I would normally order and they suggested a homemade marinade of mango teriyaki. I was sure I wouldn’t like it but it was delicious. I still think about it. They took time to offer recommendations and also provided us with their house marinades for the steaks.
The carry some hard-​to-​find marinades and rubs, including, Spiedes, an upstate New York favorite. It’s very clean, welcoming and the staff is helpful when you’re just not sure what you want to get. So much store in one location.

Way over priced. Meats are ok, sausages are never consistent and service is bad. Every time I got sausages from here they tasted completely different from the time before. They obviously do not follow recipes when making their sausages.

Y’all these are some of the best sandwiches you are getting in New Jersey and that is taking nothing away from the great delis New Jersey has.
I got this crazy Smoked Meatloaf sandwich today. Meat Loaf, Bacon, Mozzarella, Russian Dressing, Sourdough. The nice balanced proportions of each for great taste and the perfect level of melt on that cheese is what impressed me. The only problem if you can even call it that was that the sandwich was maybe two bites too big, and I’m a big man you all know that.
This place is getting patronized in the future for real. Y’all know the deal.

I had a really good experience here today so it prompted me to write a review of just how awesome this place is. I ordered a simple wrap with grilled chicken, fresh mozzarella, roasted peppers and spring greens with balsamic dressing and it was delicious. Everything tasted really fresh and it was a nice hearty sized wrap for the price. My service is consistently great at The Meat House. Warm, friendly staff who are always ready to answer questions and are very careful to get your order right. Good service and a staff that seems to genuinely care about customers is getting harder to find these days so I am always thrilled when I find it at a place like this!
Of what I’ve tasted sandwiches are a must try (steak tip especially), meats are always fresh and delicious and the sides they Make in house are good too! Try the mashed potatoes, twice baked potatoes, Mac and cheese or some of the salads you will not be disappointed!

Stopped here after a long bike ride. I ordered the special which was Boar’s Head chicken w/​bacon (the important parts) on a wrap. Huge portion of the chicken. I split my order with my friend who ordered the BLT which was Amazing. Garlic aioli instead of mayo is a huge win in my book. My other friend ordered the pulled pork sandwich and said it was great. They have beer and wine and a well priced bottle of wine was purchased to accompany the sandwiches. I’m a huge fan or ordering food, paying for it immediately and sitting outside in the sun. They also sell some normal grocery things — felt like I was on Little House on the Prairie where I buy a bunch of stuff and tell them to put it on my tab.

I had always passed by this place but I never checked it out. Then one of my friends moved nearby and raved about this place.
The food was great and they have some cool little treats that you but from there. The guys at the counter are pretty cool and they’re patient! They walked me through most of the options they had available that day.

I went here with my daughter who lives down the street from here yesterday. I had the steak tip sandwich with a tip and let me tell you this was truly the best sandwich I have ever eaten in my entire life. The sandwich is 8 dollars and worth every penny. The aioli and sirachi they put on the sandwich make it so savory and flavorful and the steak tip and yes bacon are perfectly cooked. I am going to be a regular think I’ll try the crab cake sandwich next.

I didn’t realize I hadn’t reviewed this. This is a nice store with, interestingly a good beer selection. Unsurprisingly there is a good selection of meat. I bought a duck the other day. I can see that it definitely has its uses and believe other reviewers praise but I’m a little bit of a skeptic. Remember until a a few weeks ago we had the farmers market going on .We’re near two Kings and close to Whole Foods. I think i haven’t quite figured out where this fits in.

The parking is a always an issue in this town because if you don’t park right in front you need to go down Summit Ave and park behind the store. They will ticket you if you run even 5 min over the meter so try to park in the store lot.
The staff is really friendly, the store is well thought out except for the sandwich area. If you are running in during your lunch hour, the sandwich area is also the same as where people can order non sandwich items. If the people in front of you are getting 2 lbs of this salad and 1 lb of some other cold pulled pork, you will be late to get back to your office. They need to fix this and thanks but I don’t want to call in my sandwich order. I don’t want to work to get my lunch. Other than that the food is tasty .
I went to a BBQ they catered and the food was good. Recommend aside from lunch service issue.

Stopped in today to try the fabled Steak tip sandwich. I had the Tip with a Kick. A steak sandwich with a siracha honey glaze and grilled scallion aioli. The sandwich was absolutely delicious, prepared rare as requested.
While waiting for it, I checked out the rest of the place. Great condiments, prepared foods, seafood and a fine selection of butchered cuts of meat. I have not seen lamb chops like that in many years. Not like the baby lamb chops available at Kings. The cowboy rib steaks look fabulous also.
I get the feeling I will be coming here frequently.

The Meat House, located right on Springfield Ave, is a very cool place. There selection is awesome. Tons of different fresh meats, seafood, deli sandwiches, prepared hot foods, cold cuts, etc. You get the picture. They have almost everything.
Prices are a little on the steep side but you’re definitely getting some very good quality when you come here. They also have a very good craft beer selection. You can also mix and match to make different 6 packs. This place fits perfectly in downtown Summit and is always pretty busy whenever we stop in (which is usually on the weekends). As an FYI, they have plenty of indoor and outdoor seating.

Wow! What a place if u love meat! Where do i start? The Meat House is located in Summit, NJ on Springfield Ave. This is a new place that has only been open for two months. From the minute you walk in you realize that you are here for an experience along with some great food and locally bottled drinks.
The Meat House Is a Neighborhood Butcher shop which offers amazing quality of meats, from aged dried beef, fresh fish, poultry, and pork. Everything is custom cut to order. If there is a specific meat you would like and they don’t have it, The Meat House will order it for you (.example:rattlesnake) They have marinated raw meats and shish kabobs which can also be purchased.
Besides meats they also make wonderful sandwiches, from chicken n broccoli rabe panini, smoked ham n brie, slow roasted pork loin, fresh fish sandwich, and my personal favorite The Steak Tip sandwich. This sandwich is loaded with pieces of Steak Tips marinated and grilled on a large garlic buttered n toasted hero roll. You can personalize it any way you want. I got roasted peppers, onions, salt, pepper, provolone and balsamic. To accompany it i added the Deep River rosemary kettle style chips, and” Mash” ripe mango and blood orange soda. This sandwich was really good, the steak Tips were tender and juicy and the vegetables along with the balsamic dressing was the perfect touch for $ 7.49.
After i placed my order and while waiting i decided to stroll around the store. I came upon four large kettles. Two of them had gourmet flavored olive oils from Greece. They have Garlic and Raspberry. There are also flavored Balsamic vinegar’s imported from Italy such as Berry. A nice gentleman who works there came over and gave us fresh Italian bread pieces so we could sample any of the oils or balsamic vinegar’s. Oh! I was in heaven! I could just imagine a wonderful salad, or meat using these products. I continued over to the dairy and freezer section. They sell locally grown eggs, and have reg. and chocolate milk in old fashioned glass bottles. They had very unusual flavors of natural sodas.
In the freezer they sell homemade ravioli’s in gift wrapped boxes, and Turkey Potpies. You can purchase ready made sandwiches .
There is a salad bar with three choices of lettuce, and you can add grilled chicken and any of their vegetable add– in, and top it off with a choice of homemade dressing.
They sell many varieties of fresh fish and they have a lobster tank so you can pick your own fresh lobster.
I liked that they sell locally grown produce so while picking up your meat or fish you can add fresh vegetables too. The staff are extremely friendly, and will explain any meat, or help with any details. They are all in black uniforms so their easy to spot.
The Meat House sells an assortment of different homemade desserts from Chocolate Lava cake, Vanilla Bean Cheesecake, Carrot Cake, Red velvet Cake, cupcakes and cookies all supplied by local bakeries.
There is plenty of seating outside, and very limited free parking behind the store.
I will definitely be returning soon. This is my kind of place and i’m sure it will be yours too.

A huge store front, clean and organized perfectly. Easy to move around the store. Just opened last week with a wide selection of meats and everything else for a great meal. I had a sample of the tri tip marinated steak. Took it home, pan cooked it and really enjoyed every bite! High quality meat with excellent marbling, color and freshness! Staff very energetic, well dressed and ready to assist you. The butchers are experts and very customer focused. They were helpful in confirming my recipe for tri-​tip chimmichuri steak sandwiches. Come in, grab a sandwich at the deli counter, a salad, fresh or vacuum sealed fresh meat for travel, a beverage, a cup cake, dinner items, appetizers, they got it all. Oh yeah and beer coming soon!

The Meat House opened 3 days ago and I have now been three times. The first time I went in, I got a «321» sandwich from the deli counter and it was great, and for only $ 8.00 in Summit, it was big enough for 2 lunches. The rest of the menu looks great, we had some people come over the next day and they were hungry so they got a Chicken Caesar Wrap and a couple other sandwiches and they all loved them.
The other time we were in we picked up some Burger supplies for dinner (Ground beef, buns, tomatoes, cheese, onions) and we were really happy with the quality and pricing. The burgers were really juicy, even though I over cooked them on the grill. They also gave us a sample of their Beef tips in the house marinade and I threw that on the grill too– wow. just wow. Absolutely delicious.
The store is walking distance for me but you can park on the street, or there is a free lot in the back that you can access on Summit Ave (Behind Food) and there is a back door you can walk in through.
Cant wait to try some of thier other stuff, like the dry aged steaks…
