Lobel's Prime Meats

Lobel’s in Yankee stadium is hands down the best food stand in the stadium! Their staple is the steak sandwich. It was everything you want in a steak sandwich. Meat is succulent, tender, and tasty. The bun is soft and holds it well, and the horseradish sauce takes it to another level! The roast pork broccoli rabe was one of the best I’ve had in a really long time! Love that the pork was shredded and not sliced. The bite from the broccoli rabe and a dash of heat from the chili flakes set this sandwich off. The sesame bastone was top notch and a perfect vehicle for the sandwich. The filet mignon steak fries looked amazing and heard people saying they were great. And will definitely have to check out the 99 burger next time. Great quality food and great customer service as well!

Where they break down whole animals in the window. Taught me how to dry-age steak at home. Makes killer merguez sausage on Thursdays - get there by 10am. Gives soup bones to dog owners and cooking tips to anyone who asks. 10/10 for quality meat and price!

Lobel's Prime Meats is an absolute gem of a food joint, nestled right by third base in Yankee Stadium. The staff is warm and welcoming, and the food is out of this world. I had the pleasure of indulging in their new meatloaf sandwich/burger, and let me tell you, it was a divine experience. The meatloaf was delicious, cooked to perfection, with just the right amount of seasoning and with crunchy onions on top, the combination melted in my mouth. And let's talk about those steak fries! They were a work of art. They complemented my burger so well that it was a match made in heaven. Although the steak fries alone were enough to fill me up. I have to commend Lobel's Prime Meats for bringing their A-game to the ballpark. The quality of the food and the service was top-notch, especially given the bustling atmosphere of Yankee Stadium. This is the kind of food that elevates the stadium experience and makes it truly memorable. Overall, if you're looking for a fantastic meal at the ballpark, Lobel's Prime Meats is a must-try. Their meatloaf burger and steak fries are 10/10, and the entire experience is simply outstanding. Don't miss out on this incredible culinary gem at Yankee Stadium!

Incredibly delicious. Look, I haven’t tried every steak in the city, but this is the best one I’ve ever had. Purchased a skirt steak twice and it was just so flavorful and tender. Highly recommend. Note it is expensive.

After years of ordering delivery to the office - I had the opportunity to visit the store in person. Nicest guys around - best meat around. What more can I say? I ordered a very thick cut Prime Dry Aged Ribeye (2" Thick!) I was also able to get my double cut American Wagyu Strip which I usually order for delivery. They vacuum sealed it for me which I thought was a very classy touch! Mom came in after me and selected the potato pancakes and Chicken Salad (with grapes - my father will love this). So happy I was able to visit in person - and now I must make excuses to go uptown just to have a 2nd and 3rd etc visit!

For the past 15 years I have had a routine of entering Yankee Stadium, going straight to Lobel's for their Prime Steak Sandwich and going to my seat to eat it. If you order a medium rare steak sandwich with gravy and horseradish sauce, you will have the best culinary experience in Yankee Stadium. The extraordinary meat melts in your mouth. It's a privilege. Enjoy!

UPDATE - Received a 22oz 1 porterhouse. Supposed to 1 1/4 to 1 1/2. Steak thickness and flavor did not meet expectations. Lobel Customer service promptly addressed my concern.

I bought a delicious brisket and fried chicken. I was drawn in by the smell, and I am glad I followed my senses. Ii truly believe this was an authentic NYC experience. The gentlemen was kind enough to inform me the MET is nearby, where I sat down, enjoyed brisket and 2 piece of perfectly breaded chicken. A must see for anyone seeking an authentic NYC experience. It is a bit pricy (at least for me) but god damn it , it was worth it. MP

Well, the hype is real at Lobel's! I'm always skeptical of "must try" places, but six generations in, I've seen firsthand that these folks sell a quality product and (just as important) provide stellar customer service. We got a box of their Wyoming blend ground beef. From what I learned in a Forbes magazine article about the Lobel's; the Wyoming blend is a mix of sirloin, short rib, porterhouse tail, and center cut chuck. Whatever is in there, it's the best damn homemade burger I've ever had, and I've eaten quite a few as my dad has always been quite the carnivore and raised us to be the same. Dad even grinds his own meat. Sorry Pops. While I love your burgers, they don't hold a candle to the patties we got from Lobel's. All they took to cook in our apartment (no grills allowed) was a skillet, salt/pepper and a tiny bit of butter for greasing the pan. That's all you need with this meat, it's so delicious that it truly stands on its own. Call me a weirdo, but I ate a bare Wyoming blend patty on a plate with a spoon. That said, my boo did enjoy hers on a whole grain bun with freshly sliced onion, ketchup/mustard and American cheese. So you can't go wrong with that if you wanna go "all American." Juicy without being greasy and fatty. A meaty flavor unlike any other. Next day shipping via fedex and the packaging was great: the precious beef was surrounded by ice packs inside a foam cooler. Everything was cold despite it arriving amidst a heatwave. Patties come enveloped in parchment paper with a plastic inner layer, so they're ready to pop in the freezer if you don't want to cook them right away. I'm now very curious as to how their steaks and other meats are. Maybe we'll hop on a train to the upper east side and check out their store IRL. Perhaps I'm plebeian, but their burger wowed this (sometimes unnecessarily) harsh critic. Give Lobel's a try and treat yourself!

This is the best, highest quality, most delicious meat I will ever taste in my life! It's literally melt in your mouth amazing. We get the prime filet roast every year at Christmas and my entire extended family looks forward to it. Prime rib and burgers are also unreal! This is a must stop place if you are in the area! The business is family owned and they couldn't be kinder. Mark and Brian are the best ever, so nice and knowledgeable.

These people cannot be nicer!! In crazy driving rain they offered to pack up all my food and deliver to my hospital hotel room for my parents to take home!! Their food is amazing! Best chicken pot pie on the planet! And their soups! run don't walk here!!

The absolute best cuts of meat I've ever bought! You will not get a better cut or quality of meat any where in the New York metro area! Hands down number one!!!

This place is simply the best. There is no place that I would rather get my meat than Lobel's. I have been a loyal customer for as long as I can remember. The quality of the meat is simply unmatched. Each employee at Lobel's goes above and beyond to make sure that each customer is satisfied. When I go in I feel as if I am apart of the family. It is the ONLY place I goto for meat. Best of the best. When you go! Ask for Brian.

Had my first taste of a Lobel's steak this year as I had gotten a package of steaks as a Christmas gift. My brother being a proud New Yorker sent us a package as he claimed it's like no other steak around. In my head, I was thinking "yeah okay and why send me steaks, I'm not a big steak eater". So to say I was initially skeptical is an understatement- what was the hype? Well it wasn't the first time and won't be the last......I was soooo wrong in the best way! The steak was beyond delicious! It literally felt like the meat was melting in my mouth and it was their dry aged beef not even Wagyu! What?!!! I initially thought- I will have a little and let my husband eat a majority of it. Can't say that happened! We definitely split the steak and devoured it equally.... and mind you this was cooked simply at home on our grill with basic salt and pepper and a tad of butter to finish. I can NEVER EVER go back to buying regular store brand steak. I am eternally hooked on Lobel's..... we finished our holiday package the other day and guess what came in the mail to me today? My own order and it will be the first of many. Yes it's expensive, some would say beyond expensive but I guarantee you.... if you get a cut of their dry aged beef you will also find it difficult to have any other steak again. I have to again preface this with the fact that I am not a steak eater and now I crave their steaks! I will go even further and admit that at most steak restaurants (which we tend to go to for my husband) I tend to be happier with the sides than the steak- this was not the case here and it was a home cooked steak! Two words- DOOOO IT! They ship worldwide so no excuse not to! I'm Hooked for life!

Look at this beautiful...simply gorgeous 4 pound naturally aged prime rib. As you can see by the pictures, Lobel's did all the work cutting out the bones and then tying them back to the prime rib so that we didn't lose any of the flavor. Seasoned it with black pepper, 1 teaspoon of "Herb de Provence", and whisked together with 1/4 c softened butter; rubbed it all over the meat. Finished it up with kosher salt on the bottom and sprinkled over the meat. I preheated the oven to 500...placed the prime rib on the middle rack and cooked it for 20 minutes (5 minutes per pound), then shut the oven off; 2 hours later it was done. DON'T OPEN THE OVEN DOOR UNTIL THE ENTIRE COOKING TIME IS OVER (including the initial minutes). The crust on the meat was PERFECT...and the inside was cooked to the exact color I love my neat...not raw...but still a little red (pink). You could cut it with a fork...the meat was that tender. Outstanding...the best prime rib I have ever tasted...it was delicious. I do this every year and Lobel's never disappoints...the Prime Rib for Christmas and Turkey for Thanksgiving...best parts of the holidays. Now if they can get my favorite bacon (fruitwood smoked - the best ever) back in so I can order it...soon I hope. Thanks Lobel's...and to all your families and friends...I hope your holidays are as happy & prosperous as you have made ours.

Lucked up on this place walking down Madison. I just wanted some protein after leaving the gym. So unexpectedly amazing!!! I wanted brisket but they didn't have any without the bbq sauce already on there, so I got the corned beef. I ate it within 2 blocks. It was soooooo good! I'm not even a corned beef person, but I thought why not. Will definitely be back!

OUTRAGEOUS AND SIMPLY STUPID We have been clients of Lobel's for 50 years. For the last few years we've brought 2 Lobel briskets to our daughter's house to cook for Thanksgiving. This year, our daughter said that the brisket from Costco was better than that from Lobel's. She brought one and we brought one from Lobel's. The two briskets were similar though the one from Costco had more fat on the outside. I said I'd trim it off but our daughter said "no". In the end, it was hard to tell the difference. The Costco brisket cost $40 for 8 pounds. The Lobel brisket cost $269 for 8 pounds........they said it was 10 pounds before they trimmed it and they charge $26.90/pound for brisket. NOW I JUST FEEL STUPID.

When the steak arrived I immediately knew this was a class act and one of the finest pieces of meat I had ever had (NY Strip). I cooked it sous vide to 118 degrees, then seared each side over very very hot charcoal coals, one minute each then 1/2 minute on each edge. Let it rest 5-6 minutes. Served simply with garlic mashed potatoes, caesar salad(sort of), and a nice Petit Verdot wine. It just doesn't get any better than this. thanks, we'll be back. Expensive, well......yep, so are Ferraris and Bentleys. You get what you pay for. this was one of the best steaks we have ever had. Perfect for two. Delicious. Super tender. Perfect.

Wonderful meat market in business since 1840. Everyone is nice behind the counter. The meats are fresh and tantalizing. You can buy a single piece of prepared chicken for lunch. What's not to love about this place. I'm a fan!

I can't express my level of disappointment with the quality of the meat. I spent $204 for 2 bone in USDA prime Filet Mignon steaks. They were ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE. Neither myself nor my boyfriend could even eat them they were so terrible. We both had to saw at them heavily to cut through them. For 200 dollars I expected a premium quality that would be tender not something that is worse than what I can get at a local market. The steaks I get at whole foods are better. Actually I wrapped these up in case Lobels, after I call them tomorrow, wants to see that we didnt even eat them and then went to whole foods and got 2 filets there and cooked them and they were better. I feel like I've literally been robbed. Spent alot of money on a product that I couldn't even eat.

If I may take a moment from your day, fellow Yelper or prospective customer, I would like to share our story. Ours is a testament of how Lobel's came to be a very important and very personal facet in one of the most challenging times in my family's life. Many years ago, my wife experienced a rapid and severe decline of health. Though we had the good fortune to have excellent physicians, she had come to the point that our care providers felt that a mortal juncture was upon us: undergo radical treatment or risk death from complications of the underlying condition. We were a young couple but I watched over my wife during the course of a year of treatment as she lost much of her hair, could scarcely hold any food down, and her regimen of daily medicine had escalated to a count of over 40 pills. About 10 months into her course of treatment, my wife had become anemic, partly as a result of the medicine and partly because she was having so much difficulty eating enough due to the nausea. Our doctor's recommendation was to prescribe Epotin alpha, a drug specifically engineered to address this condition. Aside from the potential side effects, this was to be yet one more pill my wife would need to choke down every day. I looked to her for a reaction and, to my heartbreak; I saw a flash of sadness followed quickly by the bravest attempt to muster a smile. I cannot honestly tell you that my next action was wise. I can only share what any spouse must feel when the one we love is at their most vulnerable. "NO! Wait.... I mean. Can't there be?" The doctor paused a moment and then began to look as though he was going to reply. Again - I interjected. "Doc, I can't. I just. You give me TWO weeks. That is when we see you next, yes? That is when we pull the next blood test, right?" The doctor checked the chart and agreed. He asked me, "Jason - I appreciate your frustration. I know your wife is brave and she can handle this. We're going to take very good care of her. I am not sure what you hope to achieve in two weeks." I became flush with a mix of fear and embarrassment. I was not entirely sure what I was going to do either, but I had to try - something. Food science to the rescue! Beef, when subject to dry aging, results in steaks that are not only incredibly juicy and flavorful, but are also remarkably easy to digest - owing to the enzymes that break down and naturally tenderize the meat. With my "Eureka!" recollection in hand, I dialed the ONLY place I trusted - Lobel's. When the steaks arrived, my wife's initial reaction was surprise. She asked me if I was planning a celebration. I smiled, touched her cheek, and assured her that this was simply a husband doing his job and taking good care of his wife. She gave me a big hug and went into the living room and sat expectantly as I prepared one of the steaks. I was not sure if she was hungry (the crackers I had left out for her earlier were still untouched). I had a moment of apprehension as I very lightly salted each side of the meat. Once it touched the hot skillet, all worry was set aside. That glorious nutty umami began to waft throughout the kitchen and somehow I felt at ease -as though we were turning an important corner for the better. I brought the steak over to her. Her tired eyes fluttered shut with a quiet smile. "Mmmmm... smells good." As I watched her take a small bite, I did not see any of the regular apprehension like a bout of nausea might take over. Slowly she chewed. She ate all but two bites! I gulped down the remaining piece of steak at her strong insistence (waste not want not ;-) That night, there were no panicked runs to the bathroom. Nausea, that ugly usurper of appetite, had bowed its head low in defeat. Over the course of the next two weeks, those steaks became a string of small but constant victories. The rosiness that I cherished so much in my wife's cheeks had slowly returned. I tamped down the excitement of my observation because I still dreaded the return visit to the doctor. To this day I do not know if it was the steak, the pleasant distraction from illness, or some combination of the two that brought us so much happiness. What I can tell you is... my wife never did have to take that new pill. Eat well, live well, and love well my friends.

We have been fans of this family business for over a decade. We've tried other high end butchers and although we have a few alternates, nobody does it better than Lobels. The burgers are the best we've had. My nephews devour the veal chops ( even though they claim to not like veal). The prepared split chicken, is our go to easy dinner. I wish Lobels generations of success in the years to come. Being a great butcher is a trade that I believe is close to an art form. Lobels to us is the gold standard. Thank you for giving us a wonderful way to treat ourselves at home!

Had the famous roast chicken tonight. It was mortgage $$$, mediocre, and not worth the hype at all :( Had very little taste, a tad rubber-y and not at all juicy.

I've been here before for meats but we were lazy one night and wanted something prepared. We bought the beef ribs. They were rubbery and for the superlative-here price we paid I felt like this was a rip-off. You can get way better ribs at Dinosaur or even your local gourmet grocery store.

Prices are outrageous (17 dollars per pound for prepared mashed potatoes). 80 dollars/pound for a filet (walk into any good steakhouse in the city and the best steak on the menu will be that). But, worst of all. I bought some prepared fried chicken for lunch and it was pink in the middle. I like my steaks rare, not my poultry! Stay away from this place.. Update. Lobel's reached out to me and were very nice... as the comment states they say they are took action to resolve the situation and are crediting my credit card for the cost.

Excellent leg of lamb. Boneless, tied. Ordered over phone and ready for pickup as planned. Friendly team. Frozen, genuine reduced stocks (glace) available in store.

Best prime cut I've ever cooked! I'll be going there from now on, worth every penny! Really lookin forward to coming here for Christmas :)

Amazing steaks and the most incredible service! Evan Lobel is such a great guy! Had a small issue with part of my order... Evan cut two replacement steaks by hand, overnighted from New York to Joplin Missouri, had a courier pick the steaks up at FedEx and drive them to me an hour away at Grand Lake in Oklahoma... all in less than 18 hours.... Our B-Day dinner was perfect thanks to this great service and the most amazing food.... Ordered the Porterhouse and the marveling was noticeable when you opened... LOVED every bite and worth the price!! What a great story in every way!!!!!!! Thank you Lobel's!!

I first read about Lobels many years ago when Jeffrey Steingarten wrote about their prime beef in Vogue. Although I live in Southern California and although I no longer eat much red meat, the ONLY red meat I will buy is Lobel's prime. I buy from their website, and generally when they offer a special flat-rate shipping deal. Otherwise, Fedex is prohibitive. My current favorites are the 6 oz filet mignon Prime hamburger patties (most delicious burgers anywhere. It is a blend of different cuts of beef and produces extraordinary flavor). The little 4 oz minute steaks make a perfect steak sandwich. NY Strip...as good or better than one will find in the most upscale steakhouse. The customer service is outstanding. My order is always correct and packed well. Meat arrives cold, but not frozen after its trek across country. In the fall and winter, I'm a big fan of their beef stew and other braising cuts. Summer is all about steaks and burgers, when I am not eating wild Alaska Salmon. :)

Lobel's may very have the finest beef of which they brag. I can't tell, nor will i ever be able to. After many cycles of ordering from their competitors, with fairly good (but not excellent) results, i tried Lobel's this week. Ordered meat on Sunday for delivery on Tuesday, for a large party on the 4th. No order verification was received. No shipment notification received. Tonight (24 hours after scheduled expedited delivery - for 50.00), i received a message telling me the product didn't ship because my card was declined. I only got that notice because i inquired last night to the chat bot. No call. No explanation. And, my credit card company confirmed they have (2) charges recorded and approved. To be sure, this whole category sucks. They don't get that simply offering upper prime doesn't compel consumers to go around local purveyors who only provide "ordinary prime". This category is ripe for an operator who knows what they are doing and cares 50% as much as my local purveyor. Lobel's will not be the purveyor who reaps those benefits.

I am not sure Lobel's badly needs another ***** review, like giving change to Bill Gates, but they are my neighbors, which is my great good luck. I buy most of my meat from them, by delivery or at the shop. Their quality is truly unfailing. Their delivery is always as promised. Their welcome from behind the counter is always pleasant. Since they have a fine cooking tradition, they can give real, not woffled advice as to the veal for a vitello tonnato, the mixture of beef and veal for meatballs. And they understand osso bucco--a high seat of culture. A wonderful place. UES is lucky again!

Very expensive. We bought a rotisserie chicken that was tasteless and cost about $36.00!! Best rotisserie chicken is at Dickson's in the Chelsea Market. Delicious and half the price. And a pint of mediocre mashed potatoes was $16.00 at Lobel's.

Buyer Beware Be very very careful they will rip you off!!! Big Time There are no prices visible on anything in the store So they will charge each person a different price & when ordering they will size you up and go for the jugular. I got different prices on different days even the same day with a different counter person - bought fried chicken for $$$$ was so good went back minutes later for more and got charged $$ from a different person Was dumb enough to go back got a 7lb prime rib roast and a porterhouse was charged $680 twice of the price then on there web site drove 90 mins from New Jersey to get ripped off meat is great feeling ripped off order from pat la Freda instead

Haven't had their beef, but their Chicken Pot Pie is absolutely magical. The price for the large is abut $20...and we'll worth it. It will easily fee four people. I understand that their prices are high, but consider the neighborhood and obviously, the overhead. The LOBEL'S Chicken Pot Pie has a perfect crust, the most tender white meat chicken, and the best gravy. Truly superb...and the Lobel's staff couldn't be nicer or more accommodating.

I would give this place 0 stars if I could for its customer service pricing policies. EVERYONE please do yourself a favor, If you do order from here please PLACE YOUR ORDER ONLINE and give yourself the appropriate time (24 hrs ahead) for your Item. I ordered a 4Rib (appox 8lb) USDA Prime Dry-Aged Boned & Tied Rib Roast (bones tied back on) and figured since I will be passing by the store on my way away for the weekend for thanksgiving that I would pick up my order from their store, HUGE MISTAKE. Online if you look up the prices, a 7lb roast is $214, while a 10lb roast is $292, which comes out to be about $30/ lb which I don't mind paying for a piece of quality meat. I expected to pay somewhere around $250-260 for my item and placed my order over the phone, told him i wanted a 4 rib/ 8lb roast and asked when I could pick it up. I was told anytime today and it could be ready in as little as 2 hours. When I get to the store I picked up my item and thought it was strange that I was just given a bag without a receipt to which the gentleman said that it was already charged on my credit card (which i gave when I placed the order). I walked back to my car and was horrified when I finally saw the receipt. $$$ 498.00 $$$ or $60/lb that's $60/ PER POUND!!!! I immediately went back into the store and thought there was some mistake and the guy told me no, that's the pricing for when you pick up from the store. I was floored, angry, and in shock. I was also caught in a bad situation because I was already on my way to meet family away from NYC for the long weekend and I was bringing the primary protein to cook. I was already late so I was stuck with it so I called the customer service and they told me the online order and the shop pickup order is exactly the same quality meat but picking up the meat from the store is more expensive (which I had to remind the guy was TWICE as much as the online order). I told him that the pricing was unfair and very misleading to which he said he couldn't do anything about it given my situation. I didn't want to just leave the meat at the store and get a refund and disappoint my family so I took an expensive bite out of the Sh*t sandwich they gave me. I could have gotten an American WAYGU dry aged rib roast from Japan Premium Beef in the LES for about the same price if i would have had the time to wait, but $60 per pound of beef that's not waygu is just ridiculous So please everyone please be warned and do not let what happened to me happen to anyone of you guys. Im upset to the point of wanting to report them to the Division of Consumer Complaints for the way they do business. Thank You Lobels for trying to rip off customers during the holiday

While this butcher is amazing and the cuts of meat coming out of it are unparalleled, it is frankly, unconscionable to sell meat at literally ten times what it costs at, for example, Fresh Direct. I know there is no comparison between the Epcott Italian pavilion and a casa in campagna but really, there should be a warning on the door. It's ASTONISHINGLY EXPENSIVE. There are other great butchers in the city where you pay a premium but not a pound of your own flesh.

Charmingly located in the posher part of the UES, Lobel's is one of the best butcher shops in the world. This not a typical butcher shop in any way. The butchers here wear dress shirts! The Lobel family have been in business since 1840, spanning five generations. They offer up the finest prime meat money can buy. If you want to make a spectacular meal at home that surpasses in quality what can be found at higher end restaurants, Lobel's is going to be your purveyor of choice. On my visit, I went in and ordered a 2 bone, center cut, prime rib roast. The butcher adjusted his head slightly and gave me a look. He was very pleased with my choice, and showed me respect. He fetched this glorious specimen of beef for me and started to gently cut off the excess fat and score the remaining fat. He wrapped it twice, and put it in a bag upon which he affixed a golden sticker proclaiming the name Lobel's. He told me that this was a beautiful piece of meat, but he was merely stating the obvious. Finally, he asked me if this would be on my house account or if I would be paying now. I offered to pay on the spot. That will be $189.00 sir. My heart skips a beat, and then I go ahead and pay the ransom. Perfection does not come at a cheap price, but if you can afford it -- Lobel's will change the way you think about meat. This place is the Siren's call for vegetarians -- watch out!

Am I crazy? Good not great beef at astronomic prices? I have paid $20-$30 a lb at top butchers for prime steak. And I have been to most of the great steakhouses - so I am willing to splurge for top beef. I went to Lobel's - received great service - and picked out an aged prime double ribsteak for $52 a lb. I expect steakhouse quality for those prices. It was not as good as Citarella's - I would say a step above Fresh Direct at twice the price. The marbling was uneven and the flavor was not the deeply beefy taste that truly good beef should have. For that price, go to Del Frisco, Smith & Wollensky or Keen's and have it cooked for you. BTW, did have their chicken pot pie and it was quite good. The chicken soup was just ok and the matzah balls were weird and undercooked.

Delicious yes. Expensive yes. In times like these, I think there is nothing wrong with taking away a star, because of semi unreasonable prices. It's meat. It grows and is a renewable resource. Is Lobel's meat delicious, yes it is. Is it something that can only be found once in a blue moon and worth 40+ dollars uncooked? I think not. If one day, you find yourself with a huge wad of money burning a hole in your pocket, and an appetite for meat, please by all means come here and spend it here. Now. Another bone. Lobel's at Yankee Stadium. Wow. Delicious. I love these sandwiches. The sauce is great, the steaks were Lobel quality (which i was worried about first). 15$ for what tasted like a potato roll, and slices of grade A steak in come kind of garlic sauce. Now. Throw me a bone here. I know it's Yankee stadium. but c'mon. A bag of chips maybe?An apple? Anything. Please. Yes the Lobel's steak is the best stand food in the stadium, but you will pay for it.

I'm very disappointed by the meat I received from Lobel's. We ordered a porterhouse steak and rack of lamb, neither of which had any flavor and was tough and chewy. Yes, I know how to cook steaks since I used to be a chef. I learned a very expensive lesson here, keep buying my meat from the farms in the country where the cows are grass fed.

One of the best steak meats I've ever bought and grilled. I bought the NY Strip and it was very tender and full of flavor. It's at par with Niman Ranch and some of the best steak stores in the country. I highly recommend it only if you know how to grill a steak perfectly to justify the $40 (or more depending on the cut and size) per steak price tag.

Incredible customer service. Yes the meats are truly superior, but I'm writing to praise the butcher for resolving a missing order. I place a phone order Thursday for a next day delivery by 3pm on ice as this was for my boss who was traveling on a plane for 5 hours. We've done this before without issue, but at 3:30pm I realized the order did not arrive. I called and asked about the order, the gentlemen answering came back after a momentary hold to apologies and took full responsibility and without making up excuses said "we screwed up". He offered to send it right away and I said they had 30 minutes to get it to my bosses hotel in midtown (miles away!) who was leaving to the airport at 4pm. The man said he would try his best. When I asked his name I was surprised to learn it was none other then Evan Lobel. To my pleasant surprise the delivery was made on time by bike delivery. He truly rushed the order and tired to make good on his promise and maintaining the butcher's stellar reputation. You don't get great customer service like that anymore. Thank you Evan.

I've never been to the shop on the UWS, but i got a chance to try their steak sandwich at their Yankee Stadium concession stand. It was a really great steak sandwich, and man is it juicy. they have a cutting room right next to their stand where you can see the aging meet and watch them trim it. Once trimmed, they bring it out and cut the meat for your sandwich and prepare it right in front of you. At $15 it's one of the more expensive items at the stadium, but worth the splurge to try it once.

The meat quality is very good but over priced compared to other equally good sources of USDA prime meat. The prices on many of the products are not marked or are not clearly marked so you end up with hard to verify and often exorbitant prices. The quality of the prepared foods is not consistently good. The brisket was too dry, the lasagna was mediocre but the corned beef was excellent. Way too expensive- there many equally good butchers with lower prices.

Only 2% of beef makes prime, and Lobels only accepts the top 2% of that. I'm no math major but I think that equals REALLY DAMN GOOD. I've been ordering Lobels for 6 years ever since my brother's GF sent him the best christmas present ever. 4 pieces of steak. Since then, Lobels has expanded their product selection to not only include Prime beef but Natural Prime, Kurobata Pork, Heritage Meats and gift packages - even poultry. It's a butcher shop at its finest - where else are you going to order a whole steer or half a pig? Rocky Mountain Lamb? First Cut Pork? But its not only the products that are tops. Its coupled with expeditious, thoughtful service. Fedex Overnight to your door. Lobel$$$$$$ is totally worth the money.

I passed by this shop while walking on Madison Ave. two days ago, the beautiful cuts and the dry age room immediately caught my attention, I am placing my order now, will update ASAP. Excellent prime, dry age quality, you need the right grill to bring out the best flavors, two thumbs up.

In addition to providing the best meat products, Lobel's customer service is outstanding! I had difficulty setting up an online account using a referral and called for help. Jamal handled it perfectly ensuring I and the person who referred me got the promotional credits. Jamal followed through quickly and called me back once for an update and again when everything was taken care of. Great service, great humor and now I'll order great meats! Thanks, Jamal!

My favorite business in America. If you are looking for a steak and you've been fortunate enough to find out about Lobels but you just don't know which steak to try, go with the "Cowboy Ribeye." Perfect gift for any steak lover. When you see it in person, it'll blow you away. We order online, live in California, and basically shocked every time at the quality of our steaks. The steaks get to us overnight with no hassle or fuss, delivered to the doorstep, unbelievable. The steaks make you look like you are the greatest cook in the world, guests are awe struck. Every time I've served these steaks, without fail, someone will acknowledge it's the best steak they've ever had. I was in N.Y. City on vacation with the family and stopped by the store. The guys in the store were so nice, genuine and friendly, chatted with us and made us feel appreciated. Lobels took pictures with us and signed our Lobel's cook books for us. It was the highlight of my N.Y. trip for sure, they even gave us a local breakfast recommendation. Needless to say, it was the highlight of my trip and we are customers for life.

This small butcher shop in the UES should be listed under jewlery shops as their prices are stratospheric. That said, the quality of their products leaves nothing to be desired other than a more ample choice of non antibiotic grass fed cuts. I love a good steak. So if your wallet is deep and you love to cook then this is the place to go to pamper yourself and your guests.

Oh my - how could I have not yelped Lobel's? They are FAMOUS. Yes - they are pricey. yes they are personalized. Yes, you can get the real McCoy - USDA Prime Beef and hard to find cuts. The beef products here are second to none - and perfect for cooking a special meal when you have to have the very best. They also, literally, wrote the bible on meat. Their book is terrific!

USDA prime rib eyes not nearly as good as they were touted to be. They were a little chewy and not a really robust flavor that one would expect when paying their price for something I can get in HEB stores. Very disappointed and they have lost what could have been a very good customer

Ever smoked out your apartment pan searing a huge Fred Flintstone style piece of meat? No? Well, when you decide to remedy that situation, source your product from Lobel's and prepare to wallow in carnivorous delight. I've prepared half a dozen family holiday meals with meat from Lobel's and all of them have been met with resounding acclaim. As much as I'd like to laud my culinary skills, the accolades are no doubt a result of the meat, not the cook. Every time I open up that white Styrofoam cooler (I've only ever ordered online) I picture myself as Indiana Jones, my face awash with golden light, opening up some ancient treasure trove. And considering how much as this stuff costs, it may as well be fine jewels and gold. But anyone complaining about the price is missing the point: do you complain that Bentleys are too expensive? When you've got a special occasion to celebrate or people to impress, here is what you want on your table.

If you're a carnivore, here's some information that may prove useful. If there's a spectrum in the world of red meats, on one end you could expect to find Omaha Steaks, the other, Lobels. Lobels is the ultimate experience in red meats. I recommend the steak cuts, particularly the dry aged ribeye or the veal bone-in rib chop. It makes a great gift idea or its perfect for that special occasion. These cuts are not cheap, but if you want cheap and tasteless, there's the other end of the spectrum I was just talking about. The online ordering catalog is flawless with fast delivery times. If you've never had a really good cut of meat, you owe it to yourself to try Lobels at least once.

Apparently when you have a baby and you live on the Upper East Side of Manhattan people send you things from Lobel's. At least that's what happened to us and I'm not complaining. I'd walked past Lobel's many a time but I'd never been in. When I had my third baby a number of people (3, actually) sent us dinner from Lobel's including the rotisserie chicken, chicken pot pie and sides. I don't eat meat, so I can't speak to the chicken items, but my husband claimed that the pot pie was the best he'd ever had. I will say there was a sweet potato situation that was amazing. Seriously, oh my God, they were SO good... which reminds me that I ought to stop in and pick up more next time I'm in the hood. Highly recommend!

Every time my fiancé's parents come to visit we place an order at Lobel's. We're total foodies and love cooking as much as we love trying new restaurants. The meat you get here is unreal. The quality is better than that of most restaurants and you can prepare it the way you like. The people that work here are extremely nice and accommodating. They ship nationwide and deliver locally. It's a butcher shop with a great vibe, much like you'd imagine 30 years ago. The only down fall is it's expensive... but you defiantly get what you pay for.

Lobels is now just a shadow of its former greatness. Except for the prices. They are great at maintaining those and they just go up and up. The meat is still pretty good. Though there are other butchers around with the same quality or better. You can order prepared food from them and it is often good. However, yesterday I received an order of food that was NOT fresh. In fact,there were items that had spoiled so much there was fermentation going on. Lobels should know better than to send days old leftovers to someone who is expecting freshly prepared food. Unacceptable. No "get out of jail free card" at these prices. Quality and service and taste should be 100 percent every time.

OMG, the food might be good....BUT i just ordered 2 soups, pot roast, and ribs (small orders) I wish the person who took the order would have told me it was $115 before I received the order and saw the receipt...Lesson learned!!!! (and the food arrived cold)
