Don't believe the hype! The Instagram photos are delicious, James the super hot photographer is worth the trip, buuuuut, I didn't think my chicken parm was the best nor worth the schlep from Manhattan. I've definitely had better including the carrozza, but again, to get a glimpse of James is worth it! ;) read more

Great food..not open on mondays Just a heads up cause it doesnt say it on here..but other then that very yummy food. read more

Good pork store for Italian specialties and meats. Good place to get a hero sandwich for lunch if you are hungry. I still prefer homemeade sauce but if you are in a rush this is acceptable, better than Ragu in a jar. Riceballs are pretty amazing too! read more

Really clean, great customer service and great paninis. 1st time here and looki g forward to coming again.

DO NOT BE FOOLED BY THEIR INSTAGRAM!!! We drove from northern NJ to try these delicious looking sandwiches. Once there everyone was very nice and our orders were taken promptly. It took them about 25 minutes to make two sandwiches and heat up the grilled cheese (yes heat up in the microwave!). My order was sitting in watery oil I'm guessing from the pesto. The wrap was so soggy I couldn't finish it and they did not follow the order as they missed the avocado and added arugula? I asked for the exact same sandwich I saw on their IG yet I still had to tell them everything that was in it and they still managed to mess it up. My husband who eats anything and everything said he didn't think it was bad but def not worth the hype or the drive. My sister had the grilled cheese and she enjoyed it. I wish I had taken better pics but I was so upset I just wanted to throw it out. If you live close by then maybe it's worth it for the fresh cheese and meats but please don't assume this place is good for sandwiches as Instagram and Facebook make it to be because you will be let down. read more

Been coming here for years. This place has been a staple in the neighborhood and always my go-to spot for the best heroes and fresh meats. One of the last standing pork stores still doing it with best quality of foods and always with a smile. It's great to see a family business still thriving throughout the years. Don't miss out on the mozzarella carozza- any chicken hero (as much as I love chicken parm, the chicken with lettuce and American cheese, oil and vinegar is my favorite) They have daily specials such as steak wraps with onion and cheese and roast beef with mozzarella and gravy. I'm making myself hungry all over again just writing this review. If you are not on this side of Brooklyn, make a trip out of it- it's definitely worth it! read more

B & A Pork Store - B&A Pork Store 7818 13th Ave - Meat Shops Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

This is a good quality pork store with friendly staff.  The pristine meat case is inviting as are the prepared foods.  I do wish the staff would take "health" concerns more seriously, though.  If an employee is sick, don't have them handling food for customers.  Yesterday, a customer returned to the store after an estimated hour with the sausage she purchased.  She opened the package on the counter and an employee was handling the meat with his bare hands.  The customer swapped the sausage for something else she desired and the employee put the returned sausage back in the case.  Would the Health Dept agree with this??  It had been in the customer's possession for an hour and then it was handled with bare hands.  Why would you deliberately put your customer's in harm's way?  You guys know better. read more

This is the spot for lunch right here Make sure you ask for today's stuff if u go really early. This is a little gem in the neighborhood as many of the other pork stores have closed down Try to call in your order as it gets packed with blue-collar workers from all over Brooklyn Many good delicacies. Yummy read more

Samuel & Doreen.H We love your fresh meat the look so good we can eat them raw. Your desserts are wonderful. We are so grateful to have your products in our home. Thank you so much. read more

Don't buy things you can get at the supermarket here. The pre-made food items use to be good but less quality now. Eggplant Parmesan is sliced paper thin, mostly breading (an inexpensive filler) and grease. Wraps are lacking. Meats are good but Costco sells the same for less. Maybe just come here for the sausage - it is a specialty pork store after all. I don't think the meats are farm to table. read more

I had a chicken Parmesan sandwich that was one of the best chicken Parmesan is I have a had there is a bit of a wait because they do have a deli but overall this place is amazing they also have a great Instagram which is how I found out read more

You get what you pay for and its as simple as that. Those who are saying its expensive shop at supermarkets for meat and have no education on meat, they only look at price. Yes this place has above average prices but its clean as a whistle, service is good and most importantly the meat is quality. Not froZen thawed chit you get in supermarkets and not slimyZ. Good stuff! If you want cheap prices go to stop and shop read more

I shop here frequently. The food is fresh and excellent. The store is very clean and the staff is helpful and friendly. read more

Shhhh! Don't tell Louie we went to B & A! This was the *other* pork store, when I was growing up. It is still a fantastic shop and my family still, occasionally gets their meat from here. I recently used veal from B & A to cook over the holidays and it was fresh, well butchered, and my dish came out tender and delicious. You just can't find good pork stores like this in Jersey. If only... read more

The Pork Store...the place to purchase meats, cheeses, prepared foods, homemade "gravy" or sauce, breads and of course anything else you could imagine in an Italian themed market. It has incredible fresh mozzarella, great deli meat and really good Chicken burgers. The staff are friendly, but when it gets busy you will need to fight to get served, since its a who can talk the loudest. This is my pork store and I really enjoy walking in and ordering a hero....having a hot out of the oven rice ball and picking up some meats to make dinner for the week. On Sundays they have homemade meat sauce and you can pre-order meats such as short ribs or Osso Bucco. Its like the old time butcher meets deli meets Italian specialty market. It is clean, classy and fairly priced. They accept credit cards and have a catering menu. Bon Appetit!!! read more

I only tried this place because of a promotion for Mercato food delivery service, but now I'm a big fan. I got a couple beautiful filet mignons, delicious pork spare ribs, and some hot pork sausage. Because of that sausage I made the best spaghetti sauce I've ever made and now can't go back to making sauce without it. read more

Everything and I mean everything is good!!!! All prepared foods, sandwiches, meat etc all fresh and tasty Love the salads. My favorite is bruschetta. Best around. Love all the prepped food. Everything is great. Just be specific if you want the food heated up, especially in your sandwiches. read more

The best thing about B & A are the homemade rice balls, procuitto balls and mozz sticks. After that, everythings is still good but these items stand out as sensational! read more

B&A is an excellent pork store. I have been coming here for over 25 years. The prices are high, but the product is worth it. The rice balls are worth killing for. Definitely try: rice balls fresh mozzarella parsley and cheese sausage braciole read more

This place has excellent mozzarella correza which was quite tasty. They also carry a great collection of fresh meat and fresh hot table foods. They also have a great deal of beverages with low pricing. This place is a little pricey but very worth it. You can have a delicious dinner just from their everyday made pastas and parmigiana. They also have delicious heros and sandwiches. I will definitely be coming back to this store read more

Must try!! Found this little gem on Instagram! Everything was so good!! the staff was friendly and willing to take their time to make sure we were all set. Will def come back to try more of their sandwiches. read more

$9.25 for a roll with prosciutto and muzz? Italian cold cuts on a kaiser roll? 2 small pieces of muzz? This place was really good at one time-- not sure what happened . Not too many good old school pork stores any more The place is clean with a nice selection of meats and pastas read more

I tried to go in the store today and it was packed...with the Coronavirus this is Unacceptable.. I am a customer but unfortunately I won't be anymore. read more

I expected some housemade meats or maybe more authentic things here...I loved the mozzarella en carozza and the panini with chicken pesto mozz RRP's but otherwise I wasn't too blown away read more

Excellent pork store in my home neighborhood.The cold cuts are sliced and packaged as if they were Tiffany gems.Meats and prepared foods are terrific. However the freshly cooked roast beef is the showstopper.Try it in a prepared hero with mozzarella and brown gravy. Real deal serving a demanding audience.Excellent!!! read more

I first heard about B&A through pictures on Instagram. I had seen so many delicious photos of their famous mozzarella sticks and paninis. But I was seriously disappointed when I went today to try out this place that I was very excited for. When ordering, I had asked for mozzarella sticks and I got some from a container where they seemed to be sitting all day. They were not warm and I was not given any sauce with them. They were terrible. My panini was made fresh which was not bad but not what I expected. I guess my hopes were extremely high off the pictures on Instagram but my experience was extremely saddening. read more

My favorite place to visit when I'm in NY! They have the best meats, sandwiches, fresh mozzarella, rice balls, and much more. Their soups are my favorite! Staff is always friendly and the place is super clean. read more

Came here today with my boyfriend after seeing all their mouth watering posts on Instagram!! We were taken care of by the owner Frank (i'm assuming because he knew everyone that walked in he front door and was the only one who had a white jacket on) He was super friendly and nice to us and just let us know a little about the place. We ordered the Chicken Vodka Parmigiana Panini (all sandwiches can also be on rolls or heroes) and the ever classic Chicken Parmigiana Panini. We also got the Fried Mozzarella with their Marinara on top and the Potato Croquettes. All of it was amazingly delicious!! Going in there really feels like stepping back in time and being in my Nona's kitchen, it's like a mini Italian grocery store as well! The pasta, bottled sauces, fresh Italian sausages which looked amazing and tons of prepared food like zucchini parmigiana and eggplant parmigiana. I cannot wait to go back and thanks again to Frank you were awesome!! read more

I've been going to B&A for 15 years now. That really says something about this place. You can immediately tell when you have a piece of meat and it's from here because the quality is unlike any other place in the neighborhood. Their lunch items are always the bomb and they sell out super quick so definitely call early to place your orders! The only place to get a delicious lunch and good quality meat! read more

I heard this place had great sandwiches, so I decided to give it a try. I asked for a corned beef and pastrami, they didn't have corned beef which was fine so I just got pastrami on a roll. What a huge disappointment. When I opened it, it was barely 5 slices of pastrami. It was such a poor excuse for a sandwich. I wasn't necessarily expecting a Katz pastrami sandwich, but I've had better at a corner convenience store deli. Won't ever be returning here again. read more

B & A Pork Store - The most pathetic pastrami sandwich ever. - Meat Shops Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Got a chance to stop by during my visit to New York and ordered their famous Mozzarella Carrozza and was I not disappointed!

This place is my favourite food shop in Brooklyn! Fantastic sandwiches, great authentic Italian food, and super friendly staff. Great customer service too!! Would highly recommend to anyone :) read more

Wanted to love it. Gotta say, the prepared foods look great. But after having a nice exchange chatting in Spanish with a helpful staff member, I didn't like the not-so-nice comment said to me as I was leaving by, I think, the owner. Won't be back. Ever. read more

If you're ever in this area or even if you're not, you must stop by this place for their sandwiches. It may look like just a deli but their sandwiches are to die for. Everything about it was delicious and when you check in you get a free rice ball while you wait for your sandwich to heat up! What more can you ask for! read more

Having seen this place on my explore page on instagram i knew it was a must have . I happened to be in the bensonhurst area and decided to swing by. The customer service was satisfying. The guy who made my sandwich was cracking up some jokes with me . I had a fresh melting chicken pesto hro with there known mozzarella!! It is a must have and guilt free lunch . Highly recommended!! read more

I cant stand the smell of rotting flesh. I live not so far and the smell is very unpleasant.

Clean friendly atmosphere, got the #8 chicken parm, pretty good but the chicken a little dry,will try again for sure

Been going to B & A since I was a little girl. Always great! Still is, I live in Staten Island now, but still come in just for B & A. I think anywhere I end up living I will still come to shop there! It's the best!!!! read more

This is by far the best sandwich you will have in the dyker heights area. Everything is prepared fresh and homemade. Whenever I go I always get a vodka parm hero with their fresh homemade mozzarella and let me tell you it's to die for. If your in the area this place is a must try. If you aren't in the mood for a sandwich they have amazing steaks , potato croquettes, mozzarella sticks, wings whatever u can think of they have and they make it excellent. read more
