Morscher’s Pork Store

So worth a stop. Exceptionally clean. Beautiful house made products. Nice, if reserved, counter help. Happy to take the time to share the fine points of each of the delicacies. Very reasonably priced. Cured, dried, smoked and fresh meat and poultry products and imported Russian and Polish foods. i

This is pork heaven! They are incredibly friendly as well!

Don’t think I am bias because I am from Polish decent, but this shop is pretty awesome. Every time my husband and I have come here, the staff has been super friendly and helpful always striking a conversation, making sure you get the right things for what you need. I picked up some polish delicacies for Easter once and it got my immigrant family’s stamp of approval!

These guys are great. And so is there product.

Herbie and the crew are 100% mensch.
The smoked pork stuffs here are ambrosia. How can a smoked pork chop be so buttery tender and juicy?
If you are unfamiliar with a euro style pork store it’s simple: follow your eyes and nose. Everything here is looks and smells beautiful. Presentation is immaculate. The staff is courteous and will satisfy your every curiosity regarding their product.
Also for the quality of the product the prices are beyond reasonable.
This place almost makes me wish I lived in Ridgewood.

So much thanks that my friend give me that tip.
I opened the door and you straight feel back home in the village butcher in my town in Germany. It smells awesome, everything looks great and fresh and it taste delicious. The Staff is so friendly and funny. The best butcher I found so far here in the US. Will use them to get all my meat for my business and private usage.
The leberkaes is a bomb and the sausage is over the top.
Thank you guys for doing such a awesome job.

A piece of Bohemian culture in the heart of Ridgewood. Owner Morscher, Slowenian with history in Austria, sells the best sausages in the area, paired with stories of over 60 years at Catalpa Av. in Ridgewood. Try their Franks, they’re the best. If you want to be more adventurous, they have traditional Schwartenmagen too…

Great, authentic, German Butcher’s who know their craft. Very professional and always inviting. A real treat and pleasure to see the Old School alive and well in Ridgewood.

I am so grateful to have Morscher’s Pork Store in my neighborhood. I don’t think I’ll ever purchase meat from a chain grocery again.
The staff at Morscher’s couldn’t be nicer. When Rusty and I visited for the first time, one of the butchers gave us a tour of the entire establishment and walked us through all of the meats and other goods that they have to offer. Since then, we’ve been regulars and purchase all of our steaks, pork chops and sausages here.
Having a party? Grab some of their «tv stick» sausages.
Smoked, not smoked, spicy, non-​spicy, they really have something for everyone!
Huge pork tenderloins, thick bacon, delicious cheeses. Tons of European canned goods, jellies, cookies. Don’t be afraid to ask questions and don’t be afraid to leave with a bag full of delicious meats!
They take credit cards ($ 10 minimum).

I come here every week for all my meats, most of my cheeses, and all my fav European sauces, jams and breads. The smell is heavenly, smoked meats hang above your head, on the counter and in the case. I’ve never gotten anything from this store that wasn’t outright the best tasting version of whatever that I’ve ever tasted– be it breakfast bacon, their homemade salami, smoked bacon rib roasts, prosciutto… ah my mouth waters just thinking about this place. All their meat comes from Pennsylvania and Canada– and u can tell. And they smoke in house (ahhh the smell– its enough to put u in a meat-​trance and then u end up buying WAY more than u wanted-​but here that’s never been a bad thing lol) Everything tastes so rich, and smokey but always always fresh. It’s just the best. And all the guys that work there are ridiculously friendly and helpful and can cover most of the EU’s languages to boot ;) I just love this place so much… The end.

I come here for their store-​made fresh sausages, store-​made sauerkraut and store-​made steak burgers.
They have many more wonderful items too, which I will occasionally get and enjoy but if they ONLY had store-​made fresh sausages, store-​made sauerkraut and store-​made steak burgers I’d still come here just for those.
Also, did I mention? They are super nice and wonderful people.
I wish they were open on Sundays.
Morscher’s is a treat. A real delight to go to.

Wow! I have been to many German deli’s and this is just my favorite! The variety of items, the friendliness of the owners, etc… A must!!! I wish i could give 6 stars!

On my last visit, I picked up half a pound of homemade pastrami, half a pound of white Cheddar cheese, half a pound of mouthwatering homemade bacon, a pound of ground beef, a jar of A. Bauer’s mustard, a loaf of German-​made rye bread, and a dozen eggs for well under twenty bucks. The service is impeccable, and the Reubens that I made are better than the ones from Katz’ delicatessen.

I am a fan of Morscher for years, high quality and unique products, the staff are always friendly and passionate. Whenever I travel back to my home country, I bring this made in America products as souvenirs to family and friends.
I was there this pass Sat. Herbie give us a tour of the back, I was fascinated with the environment friendly smoke machines and the temperature control room, real wood chip are used, no wonder they taste so good!
I’ve learned that the store is filmed in Vincent Vaughn’s movie Delivery Man, the first few minutes of the movie trail has the store scene
, it is coming in Thanksgiving, would love to see my favorite store in big screen.

Recently went on a pork store spree, stopping by Pol-​Am in Greenpoint, Muncan in Astoria and Morscher’s. The products at all three stores were great, but I give the service award to Morscher’s, whose friendly proprietor is truly welcoming. Herbert even put slits in our smoked sausage for the grill!
The store is know for its krainerwurst, apparently a Slovenian specialty, but if I had only one choice, I’d plump for the Kaiser’s Meat, a rich piece of roasted and smoked pork with a crispy crust. Other choices including a bewildering array of head cheeses and bolognas, bratwurst, weisswursts and liverwursts galore. There are burgers made from porterhouse tails or pork mixtures, as you prefer. Although it is in a smaller space than Schaller and Weber, it is more densely packed, and I think the meat selection here is larger. As other reviewers have observed, it goes beyond the German idiom into Polish kabanosy and Hungarian sausages. I am pretty sure the lady next to me was speaking Magyar and the server was getting it.
I just need to find a better way to get here from Westchester — it merits the trip. This is a store that is truly worth your custom and deserving of your support.

The quality is great, the service sucks. I will never buy from this place again only because of the service. Every time I place an order they give me double or triple of what I order, so it cost me double of what I budget. When I say it’s not what I ordered they tell me this is the only size it comes, when obviously is not true. They seem to always be in a rush, even when the store is empty and they are always snappy and annoyed. So I finally got the message, you don’t want my business and that’s fine, now chill out and relax dude.

I’m a vegetarian.
But I love Morscher’s. Sure, I’m limited to getting a jar of Bauer’s mustard or something, but this is a lively remnant of old German Ridgewood at its best. Lively, friendly guys behind the counter, shop full of loyal customers. Everything looks amazing, even if I can’t eat any of their core product. They do have a good selection of non-​meat specialty items as well, though.

See, here’s the thing:
There are authentic spots that can be found throughout NYC; places that have been doing the right thing for a number of years. They do them consistently, and they do them well. Some of these places are well known to many, places like Katz’s Deli or Patsy’s. Maybe Peter Luger’s would come to mind.
Then you have the other guys. These are shops that have been around for decades, quietly sitting back and serving their communities for generations, and doing so quietly and without fame. These are like the men who go into battle to help their fellow soldiers: Not always looked up to as heroes, but knowing that they do the right thing is enough to let themselves go to sleep at night with a faint smile upon their lips.
This is one of those places. About as unmolested as it gets, and tucked into a nook of Ridgewood where it will hopefully remain unmolested by anything except my hyperbole.
A palace of pork.
A shrine to swine.
I’ve run out of clever rhymes already, but they just do the right things here, and they do them well. They stock every type of pig product known to man, a number of which have a heavy emphasis on eastern european. The wall in the store is stocked with relishes, spreads, mustards and other types of European items, with a small space in front of the counter stocked with some other various products. You didn’t come here for the products, though. Well, I guess you really kind of did. This place is for the pork.
I usually go against a butcher that tries to upsell me, I find I’m usually a little let down by what they point me towards. Here, I’m putty in their hands, and they leave me smiling every time.
Here’s to hoping that this spot stays just the way it is for another 50+ years.

This is a great authentic butcher one of a very few left in the city. They have any type of meat you want and it’s always fresh! Highly recommended they also have German and eastern European condiments.
