Herman’s Quality Meat Shoppe

My husband and I came in for some beef short ribs. The little shop was tiny and cozy and the staff was very knowledgable and helpful. The only annoying part was it took a little too long getting out the door even though it wasn’t busy. However, this didn’t spoil the experience because they were very nice and helpful. The quality of our meat was amazing and you can really taste a difference in the quality and freshness from that of a grocery store. It’s more expensive but it’s worth it to have healthier meat. We made a 5 star dish out of it.

Herman’s is the real deal — an authentic butcher shop that provides high quality goods in a friendly atmosphere. We patronized Herman’s for thanksgiving, getting a fresh turkey and a smoked turkey, along with three pies. It was blindingly expensive, but boy, everything was top notch. For those special occasions when you want the best, go to Herman’s.

I always use Hermans for top quality hard to find cuts … Their burgers are excellent. … it’s a real butcher shop… you can always tell buy the sawdust on the floor. …that’s something you don’t see these days … special orders come in on Saturdays … give them a few days for spec orders … you won’t be disappointed.. They use locally raised meats and are very fresh…

Herman’s is a a nod to business «the way it used to be».
This mom & pop meat shop takes a lot of pride in their products. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly and clearly excited about what they do.
Aside from the fact that this is a real Newark institution, it’s one of the few places you can get grass-​fed, local meat, poultry, venison, lamb and bison as well as custom cuts, and offal.
As someone who is a Paleo diet devotee and a conscious consumer, supporting a local family business who are selling the highest quality meat i’ve seen in a while is worth every single last cent.

I ordered a deli platter for a presentation I was doing for a client in Newark and I found this place on Unilocal.
What a great butcher shop… VERY clean and the staff was very friendly.
The quality of the cold cuts were fantastic and I got nothing but positive remarks from the dozen people I was presenting to, As I was leaving Chris, the owner, helped me out the door and brought some additional condiments out to my car for me,
This type of service is truly a lost art these days.
You need to go to here.

Newark is fortunate to have such a high quality meat shop. Great products and wonderful, personable, service. Living in Virginia it is hard to get here too often, but stop whenever we are in the Philly area visiting family. Chris and the staff are fabulous… knowledgeable and ready to serve. May have to wait a few minutes when it is busy (and packed inside), but well worth it.

Went in for the first time this morning and bought some center cut filet mignon. We cooked it a beautiful medium rare and it was the best beef I’ve ever eaten. We will definately be back. Service was very friendly.

I’ve been following Herman’s on facebook for a while now but I’ve never gone. I’ve been frustrated with the sub-​par meats I’ve found at my local super market. So, I checked out Herman’s Saturday and they had free sampling. I had chorizo for the first time and it was awesome (I wound up buying some). Also I bought 2 butterfly cut pork chops and made them for dinner that night. You could taste the difference in the quality of the meat. I believe if you want to be healthy, you have to eat heather foods.
What their site says, «We are dedicated to the humanity of the animals as well as the health of our customers and we therefore only sell products that are raised without growth hormones or antibiotics, and they are always all-​natural.»

After 10 seconds of walking in the front door of Herman’s Meat Shoppe, I was kicking myself wondering why I hadn’t stopped in sooner. This is the real deal folks.
What struck me first, is how tiny the store is. And in particular, no customer facing meat refrigerator dispalying the goods. No worries… the staff is well equipped to help you get what you need, then absolutely meticulously butcher, trim and do all those things no one else seems to be able to do anymore, in front of your eyes.
I grabbed a bunch of stuff on my first trip, including Delmonico steaks (cut to my desired thickness), beef/​pork/​veal mix (ground to order), pork chops (again, cut to order), all trimmed up, cleaned and packed for either the freezer or ready to go.
The deli counter offers real oven roasted turkey and other goodies. Also, plenty of stuff in the frig and freezer packaged and ready to go.
I’ll be back.

Weird. A butcher. You don’t have to go to Acme to have a post-​teen breathe on your meat and wonder to himself whether you smoke dope. If the concept of running errands (plural) isn’t foreign, you’ll be happy to know that Herman’s is about as good quality-​wise as Stoltzfus over at NC Farmer’s Market, though with a smaller selection. Good job with cold cuts, etc. Still like the Galvinell stuff from Whimsical better for my porcine goods.

Herman’s is an awesome family run butcher’s. You can get great local cuts of meat, the best bacon and good chorizo. They will also sell you bags of frozen chicken necks that you can then feed to your fat kitty.
