Pat LaFrieda Meat Purveyors - North Bergen, New Jersey

Sean W.

I'm the GM of the The Committed Pig in Summit. I know that LaFrieda products are the best around. We order hundreds of pounds of a ground beef blend every week. It comes fresh and stays fresh. The customer service is also stellar. I rarely have any issues with orders, but if I do, it's rectified immediately. I couldn't be happier with our relationship. But, that's not why I'm leaving this wordy review. I recently received a notification from LaFrieda about a sale on dry aged steaks. We don't serve steaks at the restaurant, but personally, I make the best steak this side of the Rockies. And, to be honest, I never had the chance to cook a dry aged one myself. So I ordered the 32oz T-bone. And holy cow, great decision. It was a little thicker than what I normally use and I was a little apprehensive about the cooking process. But I went on the website and they literally have a tab for cooking instructions. So, I prepped my cast iron, jotted down the cook times listed by LaFrieda, concocted my secret signature fresh rosemary and fresh thyme and garlic seasoning and got to work. Look at the pictures. It was hands down the best steak I've ever had. I could pull it apart with my fingers! I didn't want it to end. But that 32oz T-bone was enough to feed two adults and one 8 year old, who are all steak lovers, and were all full and impressed. Needless to say, I highly recommend it. This review is already too long, so I won't get into the crazy flavor profile nuances the aging process presented. I'm just happy I ordered two. #eatmymeat

I would have given 5 stars but the docks are weird. You’ll have to pull into a busy street to back in 🤷🏽‍♀️
No Overnight parking (maybe you could sit on the street in front of the docks)
Length of unloading quick
Truck stop in area not close
Allows early unloading
Very Friendly and helpful; Especially with the difficult back situation

Pat LaFrieda’s beef and chicken selections never disappoint.

I can’t get enough of the beef & wild mushroom 50/50 burger blend, the thin boneless chicken breasts, and the boneless chicken thighs.

Online ordering is a breeze, and their customer service is top-notch. Every order I’ve placed has been impeccably
packaged, shipped, and delivered right on time.

As soon as I get the ‘out for delivery’ notification, I start singing, ‘Come and knock on my door, I’ve been waiting for you…’ 🎶 It’s my little delivery day tradition!

Small but do-able! Today the employees were helpful with staging us truckers so won’t cause a mess of traffic on the street. The employees will spot you when backing. I posted a recommended staging route below for anyone who needs an idea. I did it so you all don’t make the mistake and go through what I went through when I first came here 😭 Good luck drivers cause after this you’gon need a beer...

Extremely difficult backing operation for new drivers! It's all about the setup. Must go to the dirt lot to do a sight side backup. Easiest way for new drivers. As the map shows, set yourself up by turning around in the next street.

As semi-driver, they treat you better than 90% of places, however do to my full trailer going here, was bypassed several times by local delivery drivers, regardless of reviews, not FCFS....backing can be a nightmare for new drivers as posted by others...see some of their pics for reference...not a place as a semi-driver I want to come back to.

Ordered some steaks for father's day and the quality was outstanding. Also added some sausage to the order and it was also amazing.

The place is difficult to park a tractor trailer. You have to turn in front of the business, follow the street for 200 meters, back up to return in front of the business, then block Tonnelle Ave with the vehicle and back up to the docks. The employees park the vehicles in front of the docks.
