I am incredibly disappointed with the service and lack of respect I was dealt today by 8 Hands.
To start, I am a very frequent customer - I come and eat at the farm more than once a week on average, spending hundreds of dollars a month.
Today I had to make a ferry at 12pm in Orient Point, and only had 30 minutes to spare to pick up my food. I called and asked a favor, if I could order my sandwich over the phone and pickup in person.

I will never have my family eat from the supermarket when we have 8hands on Long Island. It is family owned and operated and they do such an...
Read moreOverpriced and quality of meat is lower then meat with diapers from some cheap supermarket. Pork grilled over charcoal and hardwood does not smell, tastes like old animal and it has intense bad pig smell. Small peace of pork between $40-50. At least twice or 2.5x times more expensive compared to an expensive and excellent Italian butcher shop in my neighborhood. This is probably the most expensive pork I've ever purchased and I would say one of the worst.
Employees are polite but I went there for fresh meat,...
