New York Butcher Shoppe

Products look good but customer service is lacking. They ran out of most steak products today (Valentines Day) and when asked if they had any in the back his response was, «if I had it don’t you think it would be out here on the trays» — weak.

I am giving this rating on the sandwich alone. If you go and get one, I hope you are hungry. They are HUGE! They obviously use quality, fresh ingredients. I have had a few different types and have never been disappointed. So I would say if you get something that sounds good to you, it will probably be good.
I do want to explore more of the butcher and store part of this place. While I have been waiting, I have browsed the coolers they have around the store. There were quite a few items that peaked my interest. The steaks look top grade and they have a decent wine selection too. It looks like a one stop shop for a great stay at home date night.
I will be back for the sandwich for sure. I will give an update when I explore the rest.

It’s a huge deal that I am giving give stars to a sandwich place because I honestly don’t like sandwiches. But, that was until my husband brought his Italian sub home from this place. That was a week ago and I’m still craving another! Their ingredients are fresh and I like the way they make you order the sandwiches. I’m indecisive so I like being able to sit back and choose what I want on a sheet of paper ahead of time.
We haven’t had any of their pre-​made take home meals or their butchered meats but I’m sure we will be soon!

I really enjoy this place. I crave their sandwiches, and if you’re not in the mood for sandwiches (what is wrong with you?) get some meat or a prepared meal to take home and eat. Nice selection of wines and craft beer as well.

Excellent food and friendly service. I pick up the Cahaba chops and twice baked potatoes for a quick fabulous dinner. Spaghetti sauce and meatballs are fabulous.

STEAK AWESOMENESS!!!
Heads up dudes — If you want to impress your lady, this is the place … you can get everything here that you need for a romantic dinner for two!
We run into this place a few times a month. It’s the best source we’ve found in Birmingham for beautifully hand cut steaks. I’ve never had steaks that are quite so tasty (yep! go for the Prime cut — you know you want to and when you do, you won’t be disappointed!).
They have a tremendous selection of fresh butcher meats — I saw some good looking veal chops yesterday while I was in (definitely not things that I see in the meat case at my local Publix!) — as well as a fine selection of wines, cheese & crackers, veggies and pretty darned good looking sides in their fridge section, like pastas, mashed potatoes, & casseroles, etc. The perfect fixins for a great steak dinner! The fresh meatloaf has its own following as does the chicken pot pie! And, as with all good butcher shops, they make a mean sandwich of only the finest meats (Boar’s Head!). You could share one of their sandwiches with a friend (call me if you don’t have anyone to share your roast beef sandwich with — I’ll have it with spicy mustard, please, and can you pick me up a cold drink while you’re there?)! The desserts shouldn’t be overlooked either!
The staff is super friendly and over the top knowledgeable. I always feel like I was just in there yesterday when I talk to the guy who runs the place. He’s just that kind — There to give advice on how to cook nearly anything in the place!
Some of you may like that place over in Bluff Park, but that’s just a bit far for me to drive, and frankly, I really like the New York Butcher Shoppe better!

I’d say the previous reviewers are a bit over zealous.
We can start with the name of the establishment, there is NOTHING New York about this place. Now that is not a bad thing, but having lived in NY for 20+ years and visited many butchers, this does not hold a candle to them.
There are lots of varieties of meat, any that are not beef, pork or lamb are sitting frozen in a case and don’t qualify as fresh. Most of the meat in the fresh case (not frozen) is all cyrovac-​ed (in vacuum bags) which I am sure increases shelf life but does not say «fresh» to me.
There is an entire wall of wine, the only fresh vegetables I saw were potatoes, all other vegetables were in the freezer.
There were two types of sausage, italian hot and italian sweet.
About a dozen retail cheeses (in plastic packs)
A pound of Fresh chicken salad was $ 10.00
Sandwiches were $ 7.99 and were large and filled with meat, all made with Boars head meats (that’s NY!) and was a great value!
It was not the Oasis I was hoping for and 90% of what I could get here is available at Publix.

I have always had a great experience with my purchases here. Butchers are extremely nice and knowledgeable. Feels like they are actually there to HELP you more than just sell you meat. I am a Big Green Egghead and this is the only place I’ll buy meat for smoking. They’ve provided me with excellent Boston butts, briskets, steaks, sausage, ribs, and T-​bones. Not to mention, their ground beef is the best I’ve ever had. I’ve cooked burgers for people and they come to ask me where I got the meat. It’s delicious.
The prices are a bit higher than what you’d pay at the grocery store — but the quality is worth it. You get what you pay for. Check out my picture of their Boston butt in the photos and then compare that to your Publix butt. Case closed.

great lunch spot with HUGE sandwiches! lots of choices for sandwiches and toppings and good prices too. sandwiches are made fresh to order, just fill out the form and hand it to one of the friendly guys behind the counter.
the deli cases are full of ready-​made goodness — desserts, side dishes, pastas, sauces, you name it. also a good wine and small craft beer selection.
tucked away in a strip mall, but worth the hunt!

This place is a gem.

I got the Manhattan sandwich, which was loaded with roast beef and cheese and a variety of toppings on white sub size bread. You can order one of their sandwiches (hot or cold) and fill out how you want it prepared on a printed paper, or you can build your own. The sucker was HUGE. I am talking huge like I couldn’t even fit it in my mouth huge. And it was fantastic. You have to be a sumo wrestler in order to finish that thing.
I also got already prepared goat cheese mashed potatoes to take home. Today I heated them up in the oven and they were fantastic. Plenty for two people.
We also got a slice of Chocolate Lovin’ Spoon Cake. To.Die.For.
I saw so many things offered, and that just gives me excuses for return visits.
The customer service was also very friendly.
Awesome awesome place.
