Huntspoint Meat & BBQ

If u love smoked meats this is your place. However there is no where to sit. Take out only! Thought the Kobe beef brisket was pretty good, wanted Mac n cheese as my side but they were all out :-(got the baked beans that were so hot (temp) I couldn’t eat them…

Don’t expect a typical meat shop when you walk in the front door. It’s small, dimly lit, little disorganized looking, with a side room/​kitchen area to the right where you can get BBQ take-​out and several chest freezers along the left wall. While there is a large bank of display coolers, they’re not filled with a nicely presented array of steaks, roasts and assorted marinated cuts of meat. No marinating tubs at all and everything is in cryopacs. Some fresh, some frozen. Bulk, wholesale meats (beef and pork) are the mainstay of this company. They primarily cater to those who compete in championship BBQ events, and restaurants. But us backyard grillers have a new source for above prime grade meats.
The company is based in the Bronx and sell a lot of their product online, or by phone, shipping to the customer. Apparently there was enough demand in New England to open a satellite retail location in Epping. Who knew?
We chatted awhile with the owner (we didn’t get names, but I think it’s Johnny from the promo materials) about the quality of the meats they carried (where else would you find Japanese Kobe or Wagyu beef??), loved his Texan cowboy hat (not sure about the hygienic aspect of that, but looks cool). His wife ran the kitchen and was serving a take-​out customer when we came in. Their young son scampers around, having a good time. He’s the door greeter. :) Dress warmly, the place is freezing, literally.
Nothing in the cases is labeled. But Johnny knew what everything was. He suggested we try the American Wagyu (I’m told same breed as the Japanese Wagyu, just raised in US) hanger steak. It was going to require some trimming, but he described the process and showed us the pics he had posted on their Facebook page. Bit of a chance at $ 20/​lb. Once home, I attempted to follow his instructions, and those on another website, but still managed to get it wrong. I do not have a career as a butcher! LOL But it was the most tender, juicy, rich tasting meat we’ve had in an extremely long time! So worth the money! For Super Bowl weekend we will go back and get him to cut us some strip loin or rib eye steaks!
And one day we will try the take home BBQ packages. They have a huge smoker outside that smelled fabulous. I’m not a huge fan of smoked meat, but every once in awhile can go for some nice brisket. Will see how it compares to Goody Coles further down Route 125. Bit of competition for them.
Currently no seating, but apparently plans are in the works to expand into the unit next door.
