Fresh Kosher Meat in Brooklyn: What “Near Me” Should Mean
“Near me” should mean a counter you can visit today. Here is what fresh, local kosher meat looks like — and why it cooks better.
Fresh today vs. a frozen shipped box
Online meat sellers ship frozen boxes across the country. That works in a pinch, but freezing changes texture, you cannot see what you are getting, and dinner waits on a delivery truck. Fresh meat from a local counter goes from the butcher’s hand to your pan the same day.
See it before you buy it
Marbling, color, thickness, trim — you judge all of it with your own eyes at the counter. No one picks your steak for you. If a cut does not look right, you pick another one. That control is the whole advantage of buying nearby.
Beef, from brisket to rib steak
Our beef case covers everyday and special-occasion cuts: briskets, flanken, rib steaks, London broil, stew meat, ground beef and more. Browse the beef counter or ask the butcher which cut fits your recipe and budget.
Chicken, turkey, and beyond
Fresh poultry matters even more than beef — it is the most perishable meat in the case. Our counter carries chicken, turkey, duck, and lamb, cut and packed fresh. Ask what came in today.
Deli and prepared foods too
The same trip covers sliced deli meats, salads, kugels, and Shabbos takeout. See the deli — many shoppers plan the whole week around one visit.
Cut the way you cook
Thin for minute steaks, thick for the grill, cubed for stew, ground fresh — tell the butcher the dish and the cut follows. Pre-packed meat never offers that.
For Shabbos and holidays, plan slightly ahead
Regular weeks: walk in and shop. Before holidays, call a day or two ahead at (718) 438-8444 so the butchers can set aside exactly what you need — whole briskets, large roasts, and holiday cuts go fast.
Pickup or local delivery
Visit us at 4402 13th Avenue in Boro Park, Brooklyn, order online for pickup, or get local delivery to Boro Park, Flatbush, Williamsburg, Staten Island, Lakewood and nearby areas.
Kosher meat near me, picked up or delivered in Brooklyn: how local ordering works
You can order kosher meat online for pickup at 4402 13th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11219, or for local delivery to Boro Park, Flatbush, Williamsburg, Linden, Union, Staten Island and Lakewood.
Pickup at the counter today
Pickup is the fastest route from a search for kosher meat near me to dinner on the table. Order online or call (718) 438-8444, and your meat is cut, wrapped and waiting at the store in Boro Park. If timing matters, for tonight’s dinner or for Shabbos, call the store and the team can confirm when your order will be ready. Walk-ins are welcome too, and the butcher cuts fresh while you wait.
Local delivery across Brooklyn and beyond
On the weeks you cannot get to 13th Avenue, local delivery brings the same counter to your door. Choose delivery when you order online and pick from the listed areas, including Boro Park, Flatbush, Williamsburg, Linden, Union, Staten Island and Lakewood. Butcher cuts, deli, prepared foods and Shabbos takeout can travel in one order, so the whole week, not just one dinner, is covered in a single delivery.
A real counter, not a shipped frozen box
Buying nearby means you see the meat before you buy it: the marbling, the color, the thickness and the trim. It means the butcher can cube it for stew, grind it fresh, or cut it thin for minute steaks while you watch. A shipped box cannot do any of that, and it cannot answer when you ask what came in today. That is what near me should mean: a counter you can visit today, in your own neighborhood. Ask what came in today and the butchers will tell you, then cut it the way your recipe needs.
Kosher meat near me for fall in Brooklyn: cholent cuts, stew meat, and ordering ahead
If you are searching for kosher meat near me this fall, the direct answer is Satmar Meats at 4402 13th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11219, where fresh kosher beef, chicken, turkey, lamb, and duck are cut to order every day, in person, by phone at (718) 438-8444, or online for pickup or local delivery.
Choosing meat for cold-weather cooking
Fall cooking in Brooklyn turns to the cholent pot and the stew pot. Ask for flanken cut into cholent-sized pieces, stew meat cubed at the counter, or a brisket for a long, slow cook, and tell the butcher the dish before he cuts. Chicken bottoms and thighs suit hearty baked dinners, ground beef covers meatballs and stuffed vegetables. The cut follows the recipe, never the other way around.
How much to buy, and when to order it
Tell the butcher how many people are eating and what else is on the table, and the amounts are worked out with you at the counter, from a weeknight dinner to a large family Shabbos. Regular weeks, walk-ins are welcome. Before Shabbos, Thursday and Friday are the busiest times, so ordering a day or two ahead, or calling to set meat aside, makes sure whole briskets, large roasts, and the popular fall cuts are ready when you come in.
Pickup, delivery, and getting it home before Shabbos
Order online and choose pickup, and your meat is cut, wrapped, and waiting at the store on 13th Avenue. On weeks you cannot get in, local delivery covers Boro Park, Flatbush, Williamsburg, Linden, Union, Staten Island, and Lakewood, and butcher cuts, deli items, prepared foods, and Shabbos takeout can travel in one order. Plan the trip home so fresh meat goes straight into the refrigerator, ready for tonight's dinner or the Shabbos pot.
Kosher meat near me in late fall: stew pots, soup weather, and the weekly shop
If you are searching for kosher meat near me in late fall, the direct answer is Satmar Meats at 4402 13th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11219, where fresh kosher beef, chicken, turkey, lamb, and duck are cut to order every day, in person, by phone at (718) 438-8444, or online for pickup or local delivery.
Meat for the slow pot, cut for the dish
Late fall cooking runs on the slow pot, and the counter cuts for it. Flanken goes into the cholent in pieces sized for the pot, stew meat is cubed while you wait, and a brisket is trimmed for a long, low braise. Ground beef covers meatballs and stuffed vegetables, and chicken bottoms carry a hearty baked dinner. Tell the butcher the dish first, and the cut, the size, and the amount all follow from it.
The weekly shop in one visit
Most Brooklyn families shop for the week, not for one meal, and this store is built for that trip. The butcher counter covers beef, chicken, turkey, lamb, duck, and cold cuts, and the deli, prepared foods, and Shabbos takeout sit under the same roof, so one order can hold the whole week. Meat is priced by weight and totaled by actual weight at the store.
Order ahead as the days get shorter
Thursday and Friday are the busiest times at the counter, and Friday closes early, so ordering a day or two ahead is the calm way to shop. Call ahead and your meat is cut, wrapped, and set aside for a quick pickup, or choose local delivery to Boro Park, Flatbush, Williamsburg, Linden, Union, Staten Island, or Lakewood.
Kosher meat near me in the regular weeks: a nearby counter on a weekly rhythm
If you are searching for kosher meat near me in the regular weeks after the holidays, the direct answer is still Satmar Meats at 4402 13th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11219, where fresh kosher beef, chicken, turkey, lamb, and duck are cut to order every day, in person, by phone at (718) 438-8444, or online for pickup or local delivery.
Near means fresh, cut while you wait
A nearby counter changes what dinner can be. The meat is not a frozen box shipped across the country; it is cut in front of you, at the thickness your recipe needs — thin for minute steaks and stir-fry strips, thick for the grill, cubed for stew, ground fresh for meatballs. You judge the marbling, the color, and the trim with your own eyes before anything is wrapped, which is what buying nearby is for.
The weekly shop, sized to a real household
Most nearby shoppers buy for the week, not for one meal, and the counter sizes the order to the household: a small amount for one or two people, a family Shabbos with guests, or two households sharing one shop, packed in separate packages when you say so as you order. Meat is priced by weight and totaled by actual weight at the store, so the amount follows the cooking, not a preset bundle or a minimum order.
Order ahead as the light gets shorter
In the short-Friday season, ordering ahead is what makes a nearby store feel even nearer. Call a day or two ahead and the order is cut, wrapped, and set aside for a quick pickup before the early Friday close, or choose local delivery to Boro Park, Flatbush, Williamsburg, Linden, Union, Staten Island, or Lakewood on the weeks when the trip across Brooklyn does not fit the schedule.
Kosher meat questions, answered
Everything Brooklyn shoppers ask about buying fresh kosher meat nearby — answered in plain terms.
Where can I buy fresh kosher meat near me in Brooklyn?
Satmar Meats 13th Ave sells fresh-cut kosher meat daily at 4402 13th Avenue in Boro Park, Brooklyn. Walk in, call (718) 438-8444, or order online for pickup or local delivery.
Is fresh meat better than shipped frozen?
For most cooking, yes. Fresh meat keeps its natural texture and juices, you can inspect it before buying, and there is no thawing wait. Frozen has its place for storage, but fresh from the counter cooks better the same day.
What cuts of kosher meat do you carry?
Beef (brisket, flanken, rib steak, London broil, stew, ground), chicken, turkey, lamb, duck, cold cuts — plus a full deli and prepared foods. If you need something specific, call and ask.
Do you deliver kosher meat locally?
Yes — local delivery to Boro Park, Flatbush, Williamsburg, Linden, Union, Staten Island, Lakewood and nearby areas. Choose delivery when you order online.
Can I get meat cut a specific way?
Yes. Thickness, portioning, trimming, cubing, grinding — tell the butcher what you are making and it will be cut for it.
Do you have prepared foods and Shabbos takeout?
Yes. The deli and takeout counters carry kugels, cholent, salads, sliced meats and Shabbos specials alongside the raw butcher counter.
How do I know the meat is fresh?
Look for healthy red color and clean smell, and buy from a counter that cuts daily. Our butchers cut fresh every day — ask what came in today and we will tell you.
Do I need to order in advance?
No — walk-ins are welcome every day. For large orders or holiday weeks, calling a day or two ahead at (718) 438-8444 makes sure everything you need is set aside.
Is Satmar Meats a glatt kosher butcher in Borough Park?
Yes. Satmar Meats is a glatt kosher butcher and meat market at 4402 13th Avenue in Borough Park, Brooklyn. Kosher certification for the store is provided by Kiryas Yoel, and the butcher counter cuts fresh glatt kosher beef, chicken, turkey, lamb and duck daily.
What does glatt kosher meat mean?
Glatt kosher is a stricter standard of kosher slaughter and inspection. The animal must be a kosher species, slaughtered according to Jewish law, and carefully checked — including the lungs — before the meat is prepared with kosher salt to remove the blood. Many Brooklyn families specifically look for a glatt kosher butcher they can trust for everyday meals, Shabbos and holidays.
How early should I order kosher meat for Shabbos?
For a regular week, walking in is fine, but Thursday and Friday are the busiest times at the counter. Ordering a day or two ahead — or calling (718) 438-8444 to set meat aside — makes Shabbos shopping faster and makes sure larger roasts, whole briskets and holiday cuts are ready when you come in.
Can I order fresh kosher meat online and pick it up the same day?
Yes. You can order online and choose pickup at the store at 4402 13th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11219, or choose local delivery instead. If timing matters for tonight's dinner or for Shabbos, call (718) 438-8444 and the team can confirm when your order will be ready.
Will the butcher cut my meat fresh while I wait?
Yes — fresh-cut to order is the heart of the counter. Tell the butcher the dish you are making and the meat is cut for it on the spot: the thickness, trimming, portioning, cubing or grinding you need. That is the main advantage of a neighborhood kosher butcher over a pre-packed case or a shipped box.
What should I know before my first visit to Satmar Meats?
Bring your list and tell the butcher what you are cooking — the cut follows the recipe. Meats are priced by weight, and the store confirms the final total using the actual weight of what is cut for you. Walk-ins are welcome, and you can also order ahead online or by phone at (718) 438-8444 for pickup or local delivery.
Which areas do you deliver kosher meat to in and around Brooklyn?
Local delivery covers Boro Park, Flatbush, Williamsburg, Linden, Union, Staten Island and Lakewood, and nearby areas listed when you order online. If you would rather come in, pickup is at Satmar Meats, 4402 13th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11219, where the counter cuts your meat fresh while you wait.
Can I see the kosher meat before I buy it?
Yes. At the counter you judge the marbling, color, thickness and trim with your own eyes before anything is wrapped. If a cut does not look right, you pick another one. That control is the main advantage of buying kosher meat near you instead of from a pre-packed case or a shipped frozen box.
What kosher meat should I buy for dinner tonight?
For tonight, pick a cut that cooks the same day you buy it: chicken cutlets, minute steaks, ground beef, or a steak cut to your thickness at the counter. Tell the butcher what you are making and for how many people, and the meat is cut, trimmed and packed fresh so it goes from the counter to your pan the same day.
Can I buy kosher meat for a large family or a simcha in one order?
Yes. Tell the counter the headcount and the menu, and the butchers will plan the cuts and quantities with you, from whole briskets and large roasts to chicken and ground beef in family amounts. For big orders and holiday weeks, call (718) 438-8444 a day or two ahead so everything you need is set aside.
Can I order kosher meat by phone instead of online?
Yes. Call (718) 438-8444, tell the counter what cuts and weights you need, and your order will be prepared for pickup at 4402 13th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11219, or arranged for local delivery where available. You can also order online if that is easier, and walk-ins are welcome every day the store is open.
How is fresh kosher meat priced at the counter?
Meats are priced by weight, and the store confirms the final total using the actual weight of what is cut for you. Product listings show the price per pound and the approximate package weight, so you can plan your order before you come in or check out online.
What are your store hours?
Satmar Meats at 4402 13th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11219 is open Sunday 10:30 AM to 10 PM, Monday to 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, so call (718) 438-8444 to confirm Friday and holiday hours before you come in.
What kosher meat should I buy for a fall cholent or stew?
Ask for flanken cut into cholent-sized pieces, or stew meat cubed at the counter for a fall stew. Both cook low and slow and stay tender through a long cook. Tell the butcher your pot size and guest count when you order at 4402 13th Avenue or by phone at (718) 438-8444, and the pieces will be cut to match.
Can I add deli and Shabbos takeout to the same order as my meat?
Yes. Butcher cuts, deli items, prepared foods, and Shabbos takeout can travel in one order, for pickup at 4402 13th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11219 or for local delivery. One cart covers the raw meat for cooking and the ready-made dishes that finish the table, so the whole week is handled in a single order.
Can I freeze fresh kosher meat for later in the week?
Yes. Fresh meat from the counter freezes well for later in the week, especially when it is wrapped in the portions you plan to cook. Freeze it as soon as you get home, and thaw it overnight in the refrigerator before cooking. Meat you plan to cook tonight or tomorrow can simply stay refrigerated in the coldest part of the fridge.
How do I work out how much meat to buy for a family Shabbos?
Tell the butcher how many people are eating, what the main dish is, and what else is on the table, and the amount is worked out with you at the counter. A cholent pot, a roast, and a weeknight dinner all need different amounts per person, so the counter would rather size the order with you than have you guess.
Can I order ahead on Friday and still pick up before Shabbos?
Yes, but order as early as you can. Thursday and Friday are the busiest times at the counter, and ordering a day or two ahead means your meat is cut, wrapped, and set aside for a quick pickup at 4402 13th Avenue. Call (718) 438-8444 and the team can confirm when your order will be ready.
Can I buy meat for soup and stew in the same order?
Yes. Flanken, stew meat, brisket, and the rest of your order are cut at the same counter and packed together, so the soup pot, the stew, and the rest of the week can all be covered in one visit, one phone call, or one online order for pickup or local delivery.
Do you sell lamb and duck, or only beef and chicken?
The butcher counter sells more than beef and chicken. Beef, chicken, turkey, lamb, duck, and cold cuts are all part of the department, so a shopper looking for a less everyday meat for a family dinner or a holiday meal can ask the counter what is in and have it cut to order.
Can I ask the butcher to cube stew meat for me?
Yes. Cubing is one of the regular cutting jobs at the counter, along with trimming, portioning, and grinding. Tell the butcher what the stew meat is going into and roughly how big you like the pieces, and it is cubed while you wait or packed ready with a call-ahead order.
What should I do if the cut I want is not in the case?
Ask at the counter before you change your menu. The butchers cut fresh every day, and a cut that is not sitting in the case can often be cut for you on the spot or set aside for a pickup later. For a large piece or a holiday week, call (718) 438-8444 a day or two ahead.
Can I set aside a similar meat order every week?
Yes. Many regulars shop on a weekly rhythm, and calling in your usual order ahead of time is the easiest way to keep it. Call (718) 438-8444, say what you need cut and wrapped, and it will be waiting at the counter at 4402 13th Avenue when you come in.
How should I carry fresh meat home on a longer trip?
Keep it simple: pick the meat up last, keep the packages together and out of the sun, and go straight home and into the refrigerator. On a longer trip across Brooklyn or out to a delivery area, order delivery instead, and the store packs the order for the trip to your door.
What should I buy for a quick stir-fry dinner?
Ask for the cuts that are already worked for you: beef stir-fry strips, or chicken strips and cubes, all listed in their departments and ready to go straight into a hot pan with no knife work at home. Tell the counter it is for stir-fry and the amount will be sized to your table, in the same order as the rest of your shop.
Why buy from the counter instead of taking pre-packed meat?
At the counter the meat is cut fresh, at the thickness and portion your recipe needs, and you see the marbling and color before you buy it. Pre-packed meat is grab-and-go, but it cannot be trimmed, cubed, or ground to order while you wait. For a specific dish, the counter is the surer buy; that is the heart of this store.
Can I have one order packed in separate packages for two households?
Yes. When two households share one shop — a parent and a married child, or neighbors splitting the trip — say so as you order, and the counter packs each household's meat in its own packages, portioned the way each kitchen cooks. It is one pickup or one delivery, with the order already divided when it gets home.
Can I buy just a small amount of meat for one or two people?
Yes. Meat here is priced by weight and there is no bundle to take, so a small household can buy exactly what a recipe for two needs — a single steak, a small roast, or a modest amount of ground beef — in the same visit as a large family doing the full weekly shop next to you at the counter.
Can the butcher suggest a less expensive cut for the same dish?
Yes. Matching a cut to a dish is the counter's daily work, and there is often an everyday cut that does the same job as a pricier one — a braising cut instead of a steak cut for a slow pot, for example. Tell the butcher the dish and what you want to spend, and the suggestion follows from both.
If I buy chicken and beef together, which should I cook first?
Cook the chicken first. Raw chicken should be used or frozen within one to two days, while fresh beef gives you more room: refrigerate it promptly when you get home and freeze whatever is meant for later in the week. Buying both in one shop is normal here — the order of cooking is what keeps the plan fresh.

Who provides kosher certification?
Kosher certification is provided by Kiryas Yoel.
How do weight-based prices work?
