    Dickson's Farmstand Meats is a unique stop inside Chelsea Market that focuses on high-quality butcher shop offerings, prepared foods, and classic meat-focused dishes. We walked down to the lower level of the market and found a space that felt more like a neighborhood butcher and farmstand than the surrounding food vendors, with display cases filled with different cuts of meat, sausages, charcuterie, and prepared items. The room had a practical, welcoming energy with a layout that accommodated both quick stops and slightly longer visits, and the combination of a working butcher counter and a hot food menu made it feel like a place where we could either grab a meal or take something home to cook. The hot dog was the standout item for us. We ordered one and found it with a great snap when biting into it, the casing giving way to a firm texture and a flavor that tasted noticeably different from a typical processed hot dog. The size was generous, filling the bun well without feeling overwhelming, and the toppings like onions and sauerkraut added a nice contrast. It was the type of simple item where the quality of the ingredients made the difference, and the preparation felt intentional without trying to overcomplicate the dish. Beyond the hot dog, the menu offered a variety of meat-focused options including burgers, brisket sandwiches, pastrami, roasted chicken, and charcuterie. The burger was another strong choice, keeping things simple while letting the quality of the meat stand out. We also appreciated that the shop gave us the option to explore different cuts and specialty products, making it easy to pick up something unique whether we were eating there or bringing something home. The atmosphere fit well with Chelsea Market's busy energy. Seating could be limited depending on how crowded the market was, so it was better suited for a casual meal rather than a long dining experience. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the service moved quickly despite the constant flow of people walking through the market. The team handled the steady stream of customers with efficiency, and the food came out hot and well assembled. Overall, Dickson's Farmstand Meats is a great stop for anyone who appreciates well-made meat dishes and quality ingredients. The hot dog alone makes it worth visiting, but the variety of butcher shop offerings and prepared foods give plenty of reasons to return. It feels like a place that combines the experience of a traditional butcher shop with the convenience of a popular NYC food destination.

    First time I ever went to the Chelsea Market in NYC, I literally stumbled across this place. Combination of a butcher shop and eatery. It was clean, easy to order the food, they were very helpful and the look of eating in the subway was authentic. The tables were set up with plenty of room. I loved the BBQ Ribs. They were done to perfection. If you're in NYC don't miss this place.

    Fresh quality meat and great food! We first stopped here to get our kids some fries and take a break from the heat. We came back for burgers after seeing the meat market. My son pounded the burger with much effort and joy! It's amazing how quality ingredients cooked right make all the difference. The store is very clean and the kitchen is efficient!

    RAW Sliders

    Party of eight paid a visit to have dinner. I ordered the sliders. They cam out pretty fast. The bottom of the buns were blood red. Seemed very odd. I cut the sliders in half and they were completely raw. I went back to the register and was asked by the cashier "What's Wrong" I said are you kidding me, they are raw. I had to insist a refund. That toke some time but finally got. No apologies at all. Straight JOKE. First and Last time.

    A $7 plain hot dog. The roll was not warm so the two didn't taste as good as it could have been. I smeared mustard from a packet on it. Another customer also had a hotdog but his was topped with the works which made me wish that I should have also had it but it would have cost far more than $7. Considering that hot dog carts often charge between $4 to $5 depending on the neighborhood I shouldn't complain about what I had paid.

    Bone broth goes well with a locally sourced burger & fries. It's really nice for me to know and support the origin of the food I'm eating. This is a great source for that kind of thinking. I keep coming back and love Dickson's Farmstand Meats.

    ELOTES (MEXICAN STREET CORN)
    David H.

    Wonderful elote, but no cheeese or sauce on the back side. Looked like the kitchen slathered the cheese and sauce on the top /after cooking, but nothing but burnt corn on the underside. Had teo steak sandwiches, fries, slaw and pickle. The sandwiches were excellent, especially the bun ehich was kind of a everything bagel but not. Definitely a good place for lunch on the below level of Chelsea Local. Plenty of tables and chairs.

    Rotisserie chicken incredibly moist with a flavorful , not at all spicy rub. Hotdogs were crisp, soft bun. Excellent cho or. Fries were nothing special .

    I've tried many hobbies the past few years outside of my 9-5 to try and find purpose in my 5-9, ranging from voice lessons to jiu jitsu to pottery, but the thing that has really stuck is recording myself eating rotisserie chicken. All this to say, in my spiritual quest to find the best rotisserie chicken in New York City, Dickson's Farmstand Meats was a name that kept popping up. After wandering through the maze that is Chelsea Market, my big bro and I stumbled upon the promised land. Right away, I had a good feeling, as two butchers were meticulously cutting every last piece of meat they could out of a pig head. They pride themselves on using every part of every animal, from nose-to-tail, and they're really living that. Big bro and I put in our order of a whole chicken and sides ($31 total), and took a seat in the cafeteria-like setting. It's a great vibe in here, as it's a full operating butcher shop along with a restaurant. 2 birds 1 stone. All of their meats are sourced from small family farms in upstate New York that are carefully handpicked for their humanely-raised, high-quality animals. Honestly this is a fantastic touch, but if that chicken didn't do it's thing I could care less. It's all about the taste and flavor of the bird for me. When the chicken arrived, I couldn't wipe the smile off my face. I felt like Will Smith in the Pursuit of Happiness when he gets that job. A crispy, golden brown skin with visible seasoning and steam coming off it as it was fresh out of the rotisserie oven. It belonged in a museum. As we cut into it, steam flooded out into the air and revealed the interior that matched the beautiful exterior. A creamy white meat with a moist, yet not soggy breast. This was actually the poster child for how a rotisserie chicken should be cooked. The leg, thigh, and wing all followed suit. Perfectly seasoned with flavor in every bite due to a dry-brine, this is some all time tissi. FIRST TEAM ALL BIRD! IG @jnov_ Tiktok @jnov__

    Have only eaten the hot dogs here but they aren't bad! The dogs are way longer than the buns (see photos) but you will survive. The have a decent selection of meats to purchase also.

    First time here had the Rotisserie Chicken with salad & a Regular Hot Dog with sweet pepper relish & kewpie mayo Service was perfect for setting loving the vibe of an old school meat market. Over all great experience. Will definitely be back again in the future to try other items on menu

    HOUSE-MADE HOT DOG
    Gabe D.

    Not the "best hot dog in New York". Texture and snap of the weiner is satisfying. It's good but way too expensive to be New York's hot dog. Service fast, easy to find seating inside.

    Everything was great. The beef tartare was out of this world. The fries were great.

It feels more like a compact gourmet market than a typical station food court, with fresh produce, breads, pastries, cheese, seafood, prepared foods, chocolates, teas and specialty groceries all arranged along one long passage. My best tip is to walk through the entire market before buying anything because each counter has something different. Most merchants also have their own register, so leave extra time when purchasing from several places. The passage can become crowded during the weekday commuter rush, and browsing is much easier between the morning and evening peaks. The Lexington Avenue entrance near 43rd Street is particularly convenient. Prices are higher than at an ordinary supermarket, but the location, presentation and quality make it worthwhile, especially for a train snack, hotel-room food or a small New York gift. I paired some fresh fruit from the market with a PROTABAR I had brought along. The unusual combination of egg whites, dates, hazelnuts and cocoa butter, with 15 grams of protein and no added sugar, made me curious enough to look more closely at the brand. Allow around 20 to 30 minutes to explore properly. Clean, colorful, convenient and much more interesting than grabbing the first snack you see near the platforms.

This time around, I stopped for cheese and picked up two blocks for a fun night in including SwissRaqulet, which looks fantastic. Another stop for some turmeric at the spice store. Then over to the bakery for a loaf of rye with sunflower seed and peasant style sourdough. Well, they're a snuck in a pan su chocolate for the train ride home. Can't forget my daughter who took care of things in my absence so a quick stop to the candy shop for pecan clusters, then a race to the finish on Metro North Hudson line.

Perhaps their price points are a dollar per pound/lbs higher than other butcheries around, but the consideration and knowledge of the cuts and preparation methods more than make up for this difference. I.E. I stopped by to purchase some bone marrow to treat my partner to a nice snack. Without prompt or hesitation I was asked how I intended to use the marrow. I wanted to roast them canoe style to eat with bread, and immediately was rewarded with center cut shanks. These little details matter in the end. Everything they prepare for you is vacuumed seal in freezer safe packaging, sometimes there is cheese and snacks (AND AMAZING BUTTER) while you wait for your order.
