As good as it gets. My grandfather was a butcher. Walking into Waldwick Prime Meats is like going back in time to before supermarkets. Emilio behind the counter will make recommendations and is very accomodating to special requests. Their selection is huge: any cut of beef you can think of, plus chicken, pork, lamb, sausages, cornish hens, burgers, jerky, pastas and more. If you don’t have ideas on what to make for dinner before you walk in, you will once you’re inside. They also have freezers of precut meat and cases of premade dishes like meatloaf, so you can stop by on your way home from work and grab something fast. Everything is super fresh with beautiful marbling, comparable to Whole Foods or better. It’s pricey, but you get what you pay for. They also have meat bones behind the counter for pet dogs if you ask. We were just in today and the place was pretty busy for the middle of a Friday afternoon, so it doesn’t hurt to plan ahead if you need something for an event. Also, I’ll give them this, they’re very fast. We wanted a leg of lamb for the Monday holiday and were worried we were cutting it close with the holiday weekend, but Emilio had the leg deboned and cubed for us in 45 minutes, so we came back after the rest of our shopping. Very convenient. NOTE: They accept credit cards but not American Express.

Excellent butcher for prime aged porterhouse and more in Bergen County. Emilio knows how to age steak to perfection. I eat steak maybe once every other month and when I want to satisfy my urge I go to Emilio’s. He custom cut and trim the steak to my liking, 1−¾″ thick with just the right amount of fat trim to keep the steak juicy. Very reasonable price and personal service. Waldwick Prime Meat is my go to place for perfect«prime meat»!
