John's Meat Market — Local services in Scotch Plains

Superb Service, Quality, and Selection. I was looking to make a traditional roast dinner for some friends. I gave Brian the recipe I had and he trimmed and tied the perfect piece of prime rib for me. He and Vinnie gave me great tips on making the gravy, and on roasting the meat to perfection. I even got some great advice on the Yorkshire Pudding recipe that I was going to attempt! This butcher shop is very clean and the selection of meats is fantastic. Vinnie, who I assume is the owner, takes great pride in continuing his father's legacy in the business. The dedication to offer only the best selections shines through in the excellent attention to customer service. I left with a wonderful roast, and the confidence to prepare a great dinner. I prepared the roast according to their directions, FANTASTIC! My friends loved the roast and raved how delicious it was! the meat was tender, flavorful and with great advice from Brian, I was able to make the most delicious gravy from the drippings! Awesome meat = Awesome gravy! Thank goodness for the Yorkshire Puddings so not a drop of it would go to waste. You'd be hard pressed to find a friendlier, more helpful, or better butcher shop and I consider the half hour drive to patronize John's well worth the trip if it were twice as far.....Plenty of free parking on the street is a bonus. We have found a gem in Scotch Plains and our new "go...

My "big son" moved to Colonia and mentioned John's shortly afterwards. On my way to his house in July 2015, I picked up the 3 LB Burger Special ($11.79) and splurged on a 2 LB sirloin. They call it "The Peter Lugar Steak" (or something to that effect), which is probably not so accurate, the explanation was that Lugar got the right (or was it left) quarter of the steer and John's took the other. But it was GREAT! $17.95 per LB and well worth it, as is the hamburger. I picked up another 2.5 LB sirloin and some hamburger last month that my big son, my 8 YO and I shared as "the girls" were at a baby shower, along with some hamburger. We all had 1 burger (big son had 2) and the steak, even "the little guy" asked for "more" 5 times. I can't believe that we atel the whole thing! No complaints, maybe I'll try a rib eye or a strip steak next time, but man-o-man, that sirloin is the bomb! Both steaks blew away some Piedmontese Sirloin that I brought over, which is also outstanding, but no comparison to John's Sirloin. Maybe Peter Lugar should start advertising theirs as "The John's Meat...

Went to John's with my best friend Chris.We bought 2, 2 inch thick bone in Rib Eyes and 2, 2 inch thick NY Strip. Nick and Vinny and all the guys were very accommodating. They went into the dry age cooler and let us pick out the steak we wanted and cut in to order for us. By the way we got there 20 minutes before they closed and couldn't be happier to help us. I have eaten Johns steaks before and I will tell you it's not just a steak it's an experience! We can't wait to grill these bad boys up and savor the flavor! Thank You Johns for the great steaks and great...
