Your Kosher Butcher Near Me in Brooklyn
Searching “kosher butcher near me” turns up online shippers, listings, and review sites — but none of them let you see the cut, talk to the butcher, and take dinner home today. This guide explains what actually matters when you choose where to buy kosher meat in Brooklyn.
The Boro Park Butcher’s Guide to Finding Your Kosher Butcher
A good kosher butcher is about more than a nearby address. Here is what to look for — and what you will find at our counter on 13th Avenue.
Why a neighborhood butcher beats ordering meat online
When you order meat online, you get a frozen box and a hope. At a neighborhood butcher counter, you see the marbling before you buy, you ask for the exact thickness your recipe needs, and you take it home today — no thawing, no surprises. For Shabbos or a weeknight dinner, that difference matters.
What “kosher butcher” really means
A kosher butcher sells only meat slaughtered and prepared according to Jewish law, under rabbinical supervision. Our store’s kosher certification is provided by Kiryas Yoel. If you ever wonder about a cut or a product, ask — the butchers behind the counter answer these questions all day.
Freshness you can see
Fresh meat has a healthy red color, clean smell, and firm texture. Our butchers cut fresh daily, and what you see in the case is what you take home. If you want to know when something was cut, just ask — there is no warehouse and no mystery.
Cut to order, the way your recipe needs
Recipes are specific: a thick rib steak, thin minute steaks, cholent-sized flanken, a whole brisket trimmed your way. Tell the butcher what you are making and the cut gets prepared for it — that is the whole point of a real butcher counter.
More than raw meat
A full-service kosher butcher counter also means deli, prepared foods, and Shabbos takeout. One stop covers the raw brisket, the sliced pastrami, the kugels, and the cholent — see our deli and catering for the rest.
What to ask before you buy
Good questions: When was this cut? Can you trim it the way I like? Which cut works best for braising versus grilling? How much do I need per person? A butcher who welcomes these questions is a butcher worth returning to.
Pickup, delivery, or just walk in
You will find us at 4402 13th Avenue in Boro Park, Brooklyn. Walk-ins are welcome, you can call ahead at (718) 438-8444, or order online for store pickup or local delivery to Boro Park, Flatbush, Williamsburg, Staten Island, Lakewood and nearby areas.

Kosher butcher near me in Borough Park: hours, cuts, and pickup
If you searched for a kosher butcher near me in Borough Park, you found one: Satmar Meats at 4402 13th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11219 is open Sunday through Friday, cuts meat to order at the counter, and takes orders by phone at (718) 438-8444 and online for pickup or local delivery.
Hours that fit a Brooklyn week
Regular hours are Sunday 10:30 AM to 10 PM, Monday through Wednesday 9 AM to 10 PM, and Thursday 8:30 AM to 10 PM. Friday closes early and Saturday is closed, so Shabbos shopping is a Thursday or Friday-morning job. Call ahead to confirm Friday and holiday hours, because holiday weeks run on their own schedule. The long weekday hours mean a dinner shop on the way home is easy, with no shipped box to wait for.
Tell the counter what you are cooking
A near-me search usually ends at a case of prepacked trays. Here it ends at a butcher. Say what is on the menu — a roast for the oven, flanken for the cholent, cutlets for tonight, ground beef for burgers — and the cut is trimmed, cubed, or ground to match while you wait. The counter covers beef, chicken, turkey, lamb, and duck, and the same store carries the deli and prepared foods that finish the meal, so one visit covers the whole list.
Order ahead and skip the wait
When the week is tight, order before you come. Call (718) 438-8444 or order online, choose pickup at 4402 13th Avenue or local delivery to Boro Park, Flatbush, Williamsburg, Linden, Union, Staten Island, or Lakewood, and your meat is cut, wrapped, and ready. Ordering ahead matters most before Shabbos and holidays, when the counter is busiest and the popular cuts go first. One call turns a Friday errand into a quick pickup.
Kosher butcher near me in fall: cholent meat, slow braises, and ordering ahead for Shabbos
If you searched for a kosher butcher near me this fall, the direct answer is Satmar Meats at 4402 13th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11219, open Sunday through Friday, where beef, chicken, turkey, lamb, and duck are cut to order at the counter, in person, by phone at (718) 438-8444, or online for pickup or local delivery.
Choosing cuts for cold-weather cooking
Fall menus lean on the oven and the pot. Ask for flanken cut cholent-sized, stew meat cubed for a slow braise, or a whole brisket trimmed your way, and tell the butcher the dish before anything is cut. Chicken bottoms suit a hearty baked dinner, ground beef is ground fresh for meatballs, and steaks are still cut to your thickness for a mild evening. One conversation at the counter settles the whole menu.
How much, and the Thursday habit
Amounts depend on the dish, so give the butcher your guest count and what else is being served, and the order is balanced with you — enough for the table without overbuying. Regular hours run late most evenings, and Thursday, open 8:30 AM to 10 PM, is when Boro Park does its big Shabbos shop. Ordering ahead on a busy fall week means popular cuts are cut, wrapped, and waiting instead of sold out.
Getting it home before Shabbos
Pick up at the store on 13th Avenue, or choose local delivery to Boro Park, Flatbush, Williamsburg, Linden, Union, Staten Island, or Lakewood, and let the order come to you. Friday closes early and Saturday is closed, so plan backward from candle lighting: order during the week, collect or receive the meat with time to spare, and refrigerate it as soon as it is home, ready for the pot.
Kosher butcher near me in late fall: the counter visit, planned right
If you searched for a kosher butcher near me in late fall, the direct answer is Satmar Meats at 4402 13th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11219, open Sunday through Friday, where the butchers cut beef, chicken, turkey, lamb, and duck to order while you wait, take phone orders at (718) 438-8444, and pack online orders for pickup or local delivery.
What to tell the butcher in cholent season
A good counter visit starts with the dish, not the cut name. Say cholent, stew, roast, or schnitzel, give the butcher your guest count and what else is being served, and the meat is matched to the pot and trimmed, cubed, or ground the way the recipe needs. That one short conversation settles the main dish, the soup, and the weeknight dinners in a single stop.
The hours that fit a fall week
Regular hours run late most of the week: Sunday from late morning, Monday through Wednesday from morning to night, and Thursday from early morning, with Friday closing early and Saturday closed. That makes a dinner shop on the way home easy, and Thursday is the calm, fully stocked day for the Shabbos shop. Call ahead in holiday weeks, because those weeks run on their own schedule.
One counter for meat, deli, and takeout
The butcher counter is only part of the store. The deli slices meats and prepares salads and Shabbos takeout, and catering covers larger gatherings, so a shopper who came in for a roast can leave with the whole table handled. Everything is cut fresh, priced by weight, and backed by butchers who answer questions while they work. One trip covers the table.
A glatt kosher butcher in Boro Park: what the counter does that a shelf cannot
A kosher butcher near you in Boro Park is Satmar Meats at 4402 13th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11219, a full-service counter open Sunday through Friday where beef, chicken, turkey, lamb, and duck are cut to order while you wait, under kosher certification provided by Kiryas Yoel, in person, by phone at (718) 438-8444, or online.
See it cut before you buy it
A near-me search usually ends at a case of prepacked trays. Here it ends at a butcher. You see the marbling before you buy, say what is on the menu, a roast for the oven, flanken for the cholent, cutlets for tonight, and the meat is trimmed, cubed, or ground to match while you wait. Ground meat is ground fresh at the counter, and the cut is priced by weight, with the store confirming final totals by actual weight.
Hours built around the Shabbos week
Regular hours run late most evenings: Sunday 10:30 AM to 10 PM, Monday through Wednesday 9 AM to 10 PM, and Thursday 8:30 AM to 10 PM, with Friday closing early and Saturday closed. Thursday is when Boro Park does its big Shabbos shop, and in the short-Friday weeks that habit matters more: order ahead by phone or online and your meat is cut, wrapped, and ready for pickup.
More than the meat case
The butcher counter is only part of the store. The deli slices meats and prepares salads and Shabbos takeout, catering covers larger gatherings, and the counter itself covers beef, chicken, turkey, lamb, duck, and cold cuts, so a shopper who came in for a roast can leave with the whole table handled. Pickup is at the store, or choose local delivery to Boro Park, Flatbush, Williamsburg, Linden, Union, Staten Island, or Lakewood.
Kosher butcher questions, answered
Everything Brooklyn shoppers ask about finding a kosher butcher near them — answered in plain terms.
Is there a kosher butcher near me in Boro Park?
Yes — Satmar Meats 13th Ave is a full-service kosher butcher at 4402 13th Avenue in Boro Park, Brooklyn. Walk in, call (718) 438-8444, or order online for pickup or local delivery.
What makes a butcher reliably kosher?
Reliable kosher meat comes from kosher slaughter and handling under rabbinical supervision. Our store’s kosher certification is provided by Kiryas Yoel. When in doubt, ask the store directly about its supervision.
Do you cut meat to order?
Yes. Tell the butcher what you are cooking and how you want it cut — thickness, portion size, trimming — and it will be prepared while you wait.
Can I call ahead for my order?
Yes. Call (718) 438-8444 and the butchers will have your order cut and ready when you arrive.
Do you deliver?
Yes, we offer local delivery to Boro Park, Flatbush, Williamsburg, Linden, Union, Staten Island, Lakewood and nearby areas. Choose pickup or delivery when you order.
What are the freshest days to shop?
Our butchers cut fresh daily. If you want to know what came in today or what is at its best, call the store and ask — we will tell you straight.
Do you sell more than raw meat?
Yes — the store also has a full kosher deli, prepared takeout foods, Shabbos specials, and catering. Many shoppers do their whole week’s food shopping in one visit.
Where exactly are you located?
Satmar Meats 13th Ave is at 4402 13th Avenue in Boro Park, Brooklyn.
Can I order meat in advance for Shabbos and holidays?
Yes. Shabbos and holiday weeks are the busiest time at the counter, so ordering ahead is the smart move. Call (718) 438-8444 or order online for pickup or local delivery, and your cuts will be prepared the way you asked for them instead of hoping they are still in the case on Friday.
Can the butcher trim, cube, or grind meat the way my recipe needs?
Yes. That is the advantage of a real butcher counter: tell us what you are cooking and the butcher can trim a roast, cube meat for cholent or stew, or grind beef fresh for you. If a recipe calls for a specific thickness or cut, ask when you order and we will prepare it to order.
What should I tell the butcher if I am not sure which cut I need?
Just describe the meal. Tell the butcher what you are cooking, how many people you are feeding, and how you plan to cook it — roasting, grilling, braising, or cholent — and he will point you to the right cut and the right amount. There is no wrong question at the counter; helping you choose is the job.
Can I get everything for Shabbos in one visit?
Yes. In one stop you can pick up beef for the main course, chicken, cholent meat, and deli items, alongside the rest of the shop. One cart covers the whole store — butcher cuts, prepared foods, and catering trays — with pickup at 4402 13th Avenue or local delivery across Brooklyn.
How should I store fresh meat when I get it home?
Refrigerate fresh meat as soon as you get home and cook it within a day or two, or freeze it right away for later in the week. Keep it in the coldest part of the refrigerator, and if you freeze it, wrap it well so it stays fresh. When you are ready to cook, thaw it overnight in the refrigerator, not on the counter.
What is the best way to order if I need a large amount of meat?
For a simcha, a holiday, or a large family, call ahead at (718) 438-8444 and talk through the amounts with the butcher. Ordering large quantities in advance means everything is cut, packed, and ready together, and the butcher can help you balance the cuts so you buy enough without overbuying.
Do you sell glatt kosher meat?
Yes. The meat at Satmar Meats is certified kosher under the supervision of Kiryas Yoel, and the counter works to the glatt kosher standard that Brooklyn families ask for. If you have a question about the certification on a specific cut or product, ask the butcher or call (718) 438-8444 and the staff will explain it plainly.
What are your store hours?
Regular hours are Sunday 10:30 AM to 10 PM, Monday through Wednesday 9 AM to 10 PM, and Thursday 8:30 AM to 10 PM. The store closes early on Friday and is closed on Saturday. Call (718) 438-8444 to confirm Friday and holiday hours before you come.
Can I order online and pick my meat up at the store?
Yes. Order online, choose pickup in the cart, and collect your order at 4402 13th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11219. The butchers cut and pack your order so it is ready when you arrive. If you need it at a specific time, call (718) 438-8444 and the counter will confirm the timing with you.
How much meat should I buy per person?
Tell the butcher what you are cooking and how many people you are feeding, and he will work out the amount with you. A roast, a cholent pot, and a grill night all need different amounts per person, and the counter would rather help you buy the right amount than have you guess and overbuy.
Do you sell kosher turkey, lamb, and duck as well as beef and chicken?
Yes. Alongside beef and chicken, the counter carries turkey, lamb, and duck, plus a full deli. That makes it easy to plan a holiday table or a varied week of dinners in one visit to 4402 13th Avenue.
What cuts should I ask for if I am grilling?
Tell the butcher the grill is the plan and he will point you to the right cuts and the right thickness. Steaks cut to order, chicken wings and parts, and fresh-ground beef for burgers all come from the same counter, cut the way you ask for them while you wait.
Do you sell meat cut for cholent?
Yes. Flanken is cut into cholent-sized pieces at the counter, and the butcher can cube other meats for the pot as well. Tell the counter the cholent is the plan when you order at 4402 13th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11219 or by phone at (718) 438-8444, and the pieces will be sized for your pot and your guest count.
What cut should I choose for a slow fall stew or braise?
Tell the butcher the dish and he will point you to the right cut: flanken and stew meat for the pot, a brisket or roast for a long oven braise. Fall cooking rewards cuts given time to turn tender, and the counter cuts them to the thickness and size your recipe needs while you wait.
Can I ask for meat wrapped in meal-size portions for the freezer?
Yes. Ask when you order and your meat can be wrapped in the portions you plan to cook, so a large family order goes into the freezer in meal-size packs. Refrigerate fresh meat as soon as you get home and cook it within a day or two, or freeze it right away and thaw it overnight in the refrigerator.
Can I order a whole turkey ahead for a holiday meal?
Yes. Alongside beef and chicken, the counter carries turkey, lamb, and duck, and holiday weeks are the busiest time at the store. Call (718) 438-8444 as early as you can, tell the butcher the size of your table, and the bird you need will be set aside for pickup at 4402 13th Avenue or local delivery.
How should I carry raw meat and prepared food home in the same trip?
Keep raw meat packed separately from prepared foods and deli items on the trip home, and refrigerate everything as soon as you arrive. The counter packs your order for travel, and a short, direct trip home protects the freshness of both the meat you will cook and the food that is ready to serve.
Can I shop for Shabbos on Thursday evening?
Yes. The store is open Thursday 8:30 AM to 10 PM, and Thursday is a full shopping day before the early Friday closing. Many Boro Park families do the whole Shabbos shop on Thursday — raw meat, chicken, cholent meat, and deli in one visit — and order ahead by phone at (718) 438-8444 when the list is long.
Can the butcher portion a roast into individual servings?
Yes. Portioning is part of cutting to order: tell the butcher how many servings you need and the roast is cut and wrapped in those portions while you wait, or packed that way with a call-ahead order. It makes serving a family dinner or a Shabbos table simpler, with no cutting work left at home.
Can I buy a small amount of meat for one or two people?
Yes. There is no minimum bundle at this counter, and shoppers regularly buy a single steak, a small piece for a stew, or enough ground beef for two burgers. Because meat is sold by weight and cut to order, a small household gets the same fresh cut as a large family, in its own amount.
Can I see my meat being cut at the counter?
Yes. Cutting to order happens at the counter while you wait, so you see the piece, the thickness, and the trim before it is wrapped. If a cut does not look right, say so and pick another one. That control over exactly what goes into your bag is the main advantage of a neighborhood butcher.
What if I know the recipe name but not the cut name?
Tell the butcher the recipe. The counter answers this question all day: name the dish, say how many people are eating, and the butcher will recommend the cut, size it for the pot or pan, and trim or cube it the way the recipe needs. You do not need to know butcher terms to shop here.
Can I order meat for a weekday gathering, not just for Shabbos?
Yes. The counter cuts for any day of the week the store is open, Sunday through Friday, and weekday simchas, family dinners, and gatherings are regular orders. For a large amount, call (718) 438-8444 ahead so the meat is cut, wrapped, and ready when you arrive, with no waiting at a busy counter.
Do you grind meat fresh while I wait?
Yes. Ground beef is ground at the counter, and the butcher can grind it the way your recipe needs while you wait or as part of a call-ahead order. Tell the counter what you are making, meatballs, burgers, or stuffed vegetables, and the grind and the amount are matched to it.
Is Thursday the best day for the big Shabbos shop?
Thursday is the day Boro Park does its big Shabbos shop, and the store is open Thursday from 8:30 AM to 10 PM. Friday closes early and Saturday is closed, so a Thursday visit, or an order placed ahead by phone at (718) 438-8444, is the calm way to cover the table.
Can I have meat cut for a slow-cooker dinner the same day I buy it?
Yes. Tell the butcher the dish and the meat is trimmed, cubed, or ground the way the recipe needs while you wait. Stew meat cubed for a slow braise and flanken cut cholent-sized are everyday requests at the counter.
Do you sell cold cuts at the butcher shop too?
Yes. Alongside beef, chicken, turkey, lamb, and duck, the store covers cold cuts, and the deli department handles sliced meats and prepared foods. One visit can cover the raw cuts for cooking and the sliced meats for the table.
How do I know the final price of meat sold by weight?
Product cards show the sale unit and the approximate package weight, and the cart estimates the cost from the listed weight. The store confirms the final total using the actual weight of your cut, so the estimate is settled honestly before you pay.
Can the butcher divide one visit's order between a roast and stew pieces?
Yes. The counter cuts to order, so in one visit a piece can be portioned the way your cooking needs: part kept as a roast, part cubed for stew, trimmed the way you ask. Tell the butcher both dishes before anything is cut and the order is balanced with you.
What should I know before my first visit to the counter?
Bring the dish, not just the cut name. Say cholent, stew, roast, or schnitzel, give the butcher your guest count and what else is being served, and the meat is matched to the pot and cut to match. If you know the recipe name but not the cut, that short conversation is exactly what the counter is for.
