Love there food. From Scotland they make the best pies. I have tried pies, black pudding, square sausage all very good.

Love their meat pies, empire biscuits. et al. My family has been buying from Stewart's for decades.

To update my earlier review, I feel a bit guilty about being quite negative. In the end, the produce is still excellent, relatively true to their older recipies. It's the beginning of 2025, and time to be optimistic! read more

Service was so nice and kind and knowledgeable. I got the haggis pie, lamb pie (the crust is so buttery thin and perfect and the filling was amazing) and the tatties and I'm floored so tasty! Now let's get to the sweets. OMG get everything. The shortbread is to die for. Love it here! read more

I have fond memories from my childhood of my Scottish relatives who lived in Kearney bringing delicacies from Stewart's. So when we were sadly in town for one of their funerals, my family placed a few large orders. I picked up the orders for my older relatives who ordered over the phone and was over charged. As I didn't know what they had ordered, just volunteered to pick it up and pay there to save my older mother and elderly grandmother the trip. Now, Stewart's owes me approximately $200 & I haven't been able to get the new manager/owner on the phone for over two weeks for a refund!!! read more

We walked in, ready to spend generously on British imports - my husband is half British and he has been muttering for weeks about a fresh Flake bar. the store is bare and grubby. the cooler case looks decrepit. it took more minutes for the proprietor to surface and acknowledge our presence as it took to browse the meager stock. We still mask - there's no consumer good worth contracting easily preventable COVID. Today, that ended up being an excellent test for whether or not we support a business. The proprietor - owner? counter help? got rude about our masks. we live with 2 cancer patients - when I pushed back on his snide comment, he got even more nasty. So, to recap- ant-science, scantly stocked, rude to the point of abusive, and the store feels filthy. couldnt be more disappointed without direct racism or food poisoning. read more

We drive from Long Island, NY to buy their Scottish Meat Pies. They are somewhat expensive but what isn't? My grandkids love them too.

Old Scottish market in downtown Kearny, NJ. It has been around forever and they are doing the freshest Scottish treats. Go give them a try if you are in The area. Make sure you try the hand pies ! Mac and cheese hand pie also. read more

So disappointed in this place. Always got my Meat Pies here. I no longer will be coming back. First of all they raise their prices, and worst not just a quality of meat, but the amount for a higher price isn't right. They will lose my business for now unless they up their game a little bit I don't mind paying more, but I don't like paying more and getting less read more

Stewart's Scottish Market - Menu: Meat Pies 1/4 pound $4 each NOT! - Meat Shops Near Me - Kearny, New Jersey

See all

Always loved this place not a huge meat eater any longer but I always loved it parking is my issue now

Five stars! They are truly the last man standing. Growing up there were many Scottish Butchers to choose from Stewart's, Cameron's, Em-Kay and Royal (which my parents referred to as Claude's). I live half way across the country and ordered meat pies, bridies and sausage rolls for the holidays. They did not disappoint! Thank you! The 1 star reviews here are pure rubbish and cheek. read more

They get 2 stars because they are the only shop of it's kind . I drive 1/2 an hour to get there. I have been a customer for over 30 years. Today I paid for 12 meatpies at $4 each. When I got home I saw that he only gave me 11. Sadly this is not the 1st time that a "mistake" has been made. Very POOR customer service. Always check your order before you pay and leave. read more

Don't waste your time if you're looking for mutton pies ; was so looking forward to what we would get from Taylor's years ago .. these were dry tasteless thin hockey pucks ..disappointing.. read more

Awful!! The shelves were empty. The shopkeep boxed items but wouldn't specify what he boxed. Came to find out he put several items of the same despite saying he put in a variety. He was shifty and rude. Will yes you to make the sale and give you whatever he feels like giving you. Never again. A colossal waste of a trip. read more

We ordered Scottish Eggs, Meat Pies and Sausage Rolls for a Christmas dinner this year. Everything I ordered was correct and came unharmed in a wonderful food cooler. The cooler was used as well to hold drinks later that week for another get together with the family. The online ordering and shipping was a breeze with no issues. Everyone enjoyed the baked goods. I was very pleased with the product and I can a sure we will be ordering again. read more

This place is a joke Moved from Scotland to the US a few years ago ( recently to NJ ) I was delighted to know I could get a small taste of "home" close to me Walked in to a filthy junk store , Boxes and " crap " everywhere I ask the girl behind the counter for some help and advice as to what they stocked etc , her reply , you can see if you look ! I bought some bacon , haggis and some tinned goods - all very good I may add but the service and attitude of the staff !!! I will never go back seems to be a common review from most people , maybe they should read the reviews and take note !! read more

Stewart's is a gem, family owned butchers are few and far between. Stewart's has been a staple in Kearny, NJ since 1931. One of the last. I'll no hear any nonsense from these softies claiming they're rude... stop being so bloody soft..order ya shite an gee on. They have IRN BRU. read more

Filthy, disorganized, slow service, poor attitude....just a few words to describe this place. I drove 30 mins to find traditional Scottish haggis and was looking forward to what else they would have....I was so disappointed...the place was filthy...would not pass health code that's for sure!!! Would have turned around and walked out if I hadn't made the trip. Wish I knew of a better place...won't be going back... read more

Piece of shit company never sent my order. Never returned an email. Never answered the phone. I never got a refund for my $100 plus order.

Great Owner & Great staff , Great food , honestly first bite of the meat pie brought me to tears , brought back memories of when I was a young Lad. read more

The go to place for Haggis in America. I won't do a Burns Supper without it. And the meat pies and blood pudding can't be beat on this side of the Atlantic. read more

Horrible service. Arrived warm and spoiled as it was a Father's Day gift. Called to discuss my disappointment and was told it wasn't his problem! lost my money and patience with this company! read more

Do I have to give this place any stars ?! I've been going to Stewart's since I was a little girl. I went today expecting to see lines around the block after all Christmas next week. Nope 9 ish I walk right in. My turn I order 9 pounds of links. I'm told NO. Come back another day!!! I stood their confused. I said I don't live close are you serious??? Yes!!! I have orders to fill !! Oh, can you at least give me one pound. He contemplates it and say only one. As he is preparing it. I say any chance I can get two ?! He replies NO!!! So I say so if I walked in and said May I have two pounds prior to me asking for 9 would you have given it to me ?! He said no do you want the one pounds or not ? Stop putting words in my mouth. I was like no I'm just asking a question I bit my tongue and paid my 9.99. I then said so I guess all the Yelp review are correct you are arrogant and rude !!! He said get out and don't ever come back. I said oh I won't. I'm heading to The Black Sheep down the road !! He was tell and I did proceed to call him An a##%?!#!!! And say Merry Christmas. I leave and I was desperate. I send my husband in and he goes in asks for two pounds He says sure!! I save my sausages for nice guys like you. That lady came in here combat ! She had never to call me an A....... ! My husband we shocked what was happening He came out laughing saying the guy is CRAZY!! Why would you ever go there. So we ventured to Tye Black Sheep. Lines down the block!!! Yup, but worth the wait for sure. Bye bye Stewart's I highly recommend The Black Sheep. Also, I was wearing a mask. Which of you read another reviews. He gave them attitude. My husband wasn't !!! HUMM.... read more

Today my wife and I went to Stewart's to place a large order. The owner told us he would not serve us unless we removed our masks. We explained to him we did not feel comfortable doing that and reminded him we are still in a pandemic and his reply was " there never was one". When I politely asked him if he was vaccinated he told us to " get the #$&% out of his store. They have never been very friendly there but this is the proverbial straw. Doesn't make much business sense to run a shop like that.....needless to say we will shop elsewhere........ read more

I love the meat pies!!!! And the pastries! I stop by every I come to Jersey from Ohio.

Found a new place to shop. Scottish Gourmet USA! Fantastic products. Nobody has to tolorate this nightmare owner or his sub par fare. Bye! read more

Nasty owner. I went in to the store and just the owner was there, didn't see any other workers. He didn't have a mask on - I did. I politely asked him if would put on a mask because I'm immunocompromised. He started yelling to get out of his store and walked me to the door. Needless to say - I'll never go in there again! Just a few miles down the road is the BLACKSHEEP Irish Bake Shop - super friendly, always has a mask on, same good quality selection and better prices too! Farewell Stewarts. read more

The best sausages in all the land. My grandma missed their pork links when she moved BACK to Scotland. A taste of my childhood.

My parents were from Scotland so I know the food is great. Love the pies sausages and their collection is goods especially the candy assortment read more

FANTASTIC. I had them delivery a surprise gift for my aunt. She is over the moon. She called to tell me that it arrived, and said everything was delicious. and that the portions were very generous. Also that everything was really well packed (air bubbles to keep things from moving or breaking, with ice packs, in a cooler, in a box). And whoever answered the phone when she called to find out who it came from was very kind to her on the phone - even though I'm sure you are incredibly busy. Thank you for being so nice, and for delivering such incredibly good stuff! I definitely recommend and I will absolutely order again. read more

Thoroughly disappointed. Hesitated to place an order due to the previous negative online ordering reviews, but they were accurate and I should have gone elsewhere to begin with. Order placed on 10/5/14 for 24 meat pies to be delivered to Colorado. Shipping charge for 2-Day FedEx was $115.75. Requested expected receipt date upon placing order. Received two order confirmation e-mails confirming order. No reply to request. Three business days went by and no information sent from Stewart's Scottish Market. A second e-mail was sent to them on 10/8/14. No response. Called (201) 991-1436 as soon as they were advertised open on the morning of 10/9/14 and was sent to recording. Left contact name and number and requested a callback to verify status of order. No call back provided. Called again at 3:15 p.m. on 10/9/14 New Jersey time and spoke with a young woman and asked for status of the order. She proceeds to tell me they're out of shipping boxes and my order couldn't go out until next week sometime. I asked if that was normal practice for the store to not notify a customer for delay of shipment as meat pies are perishable and someone would have to be home in order to accept a food delivery. She then began to talk over me and said to cancel my order then if I wanted. Not the best way to handle customer service. Guaranteed business loss every time. A customer should not have to follow-up multiple times to see what is going on with an order. No expected shipment date for special order food is not an acceptable business practice. A simple courtesy to contact your customer is expected. Order confirmation had already been sent verifying my order. If there was a delay expected an immediate notification providing the next available shipment day along with the option to cancel. Now an entire business week has been wasted and the search for meat pies will have to continue elsewhere. Really disappointed with Stewart's Scottish Market to say the least. ******* UPDATE 10/14/14******* Not even a follow-up from Stewart's to apologize. I found an exceptional alternative and they will get my business from now on. If you want true customer service, use Cameron's British Foods, Inc. in Florida. First, they are $30 cheaper than Stewart's for shipping. Second, the ordering process was smooth and flawless. Order notification, follow-up and expected shipment information supplied within 1 business day. From purchase to delivery takes 3 business days. Now, they know how to treat customers. As for Stewart's, if you want disappointment, then by all means go ahead. read more

When 3rd and 4th generation Scots decide to stop coming here you know there's a problem. My mom went into the store today to pick up nearly $40 in food. She wanted to ask a question to the "gentleman" as he was getting himself a drink from the cooler. He told her he was busy. She thought it was a joke and proceeded to ask. He then said didn't I tell you I was busy. When a small business has workers that are TOO BUSY to help their customers that's a shame!! We didn't only go for holidays. We WERE frequent customers. read more

Awesome slice of English heaven. This saved me a trip into the city! A little bit of everything from chocolates to Haggis! Even some shortbread mix. I'll be back for sure. The people working are very friendly too! read more

I swear that the Yelp gnomes have been at it again. This is a great but tiny Scottish & British butcher/market. We, of course, bought a haggis, ring of white pudding, ring of black pudding, Mars bar, and bottle of Ribena, all for $45. The haggis was amazing--we did freeze it and later cooked it up for a meal during Thanksgiving weekend. Spicy, sweet, and perfect with a shot (or two) of Scotch. It's also neat that the "bag" (aka stomach) shrinks to nothing after the haggis is pierced and the filling served. Needless to say, it was so good that I decided to make haggis at home. Twice. Now I just need a meat grinder to do it properly, or we will head back to Stewart's to go the easy way. If you're scared of haggis, why do you eat hot dogs? Now that it's put back into perspective, do try it. They're excellent. The black pudding was quite sweet with a bit too much clove and cinnamon for my taste, though it didn't stop is from eating it every other weekend for a while. The white pudding I preferred, as it was more like spicy oatmeal. As it was just the 2 of us, we sliced each of the pudding rings into rounds and froze it that way. Heat up the cast iron pan, put in a tiny bit of water, then cover. When they appear almost done, uncover and let the moisture out so that each round gets crisp on both sides. Then serve with bread and soft boiled or fried eggs, before rolling yourself back into bed. Or into the snow. Either way, you will sleep well and stay warm. As with the haggis, best during the cold, dreary winter months, when you should be getting fat anyway. Or after the holidays when you don't need to fit into anything form fitting and people don't want to leave their houses anyway because there's yet another blizzard. THAT is perfect pudding and/or haggis weather. Lots of yummy biscuits and teas too, but go here for the meats. They're delicious. read more

Stewart's Scottish Market - 1lb haggis from Stewart's, cooked - Meat Shops Near Me - Kearny, New Jersey

I do not recommend this shop nor their website. The people who work in this shop are terribly rude and their order fulfillment is unreliable. I ordered a haggis online hoping to have it for Robert Burns night but it never came even though the web site said 1 day to ship to my region and I paid $12 for UPS ground shipping. The shop owner got on the phone and when I said I was upset about the situation was immediately rude yelling "Well it's not my fault you didn't say when it's for, Lady" (to be clear there's no designated space on the web site to say "when it's for." Oh, and, why else would someone order a haggis to be sent by UPS the week of Robert Burns night?) and then yelling "Well this isn't Amazon Prime, Lady!" (and a bunch of other rude things ending in "Lady") Yes I know, and I also used to run a frozen food business so I am very familiar with how it works. Now my Scottish dinner party is ruined and I will never, ever go back to this shop. Who needs to be treated like that? I've visited the shop once in the past and they were no less rude in person. Update- After I said to cancel my order and hung up, a more level headed sales person from the shop called me back and offered to send the haggis to me by Uber. I appreciate the effort made by this more reasonable person and the fact that he tried to straighten the situation out for my dinner party. I hesitantly accepted since it's for tonight although I'm still very upset with the way I was treated in general. It's too bad the guy who was screaming at me was the owner. I'm not in the habit of supporting the businesses of men who scream at me on the phone when I'm in need of customer service. There are other shops that ship haggis within the US, some of them also in NJ. I will be exploring those next year. Update 2. I'm adding some stars because the haggis really was very good and nicely made and I do appreciate the effort the employee made in the end to get it here. Re-reading this it does sound like I have way too much time on my hands to be so concerned about a haggis, but it is really more about the treatment of people and as a business owner I always expect better from people. read more

Stewart's Scottish Market - the checkout page for the shop - Meat Shops Near Me - Kearny, New Jersey

I've been coming to Stewart's market for years. However after yesterdays visit I will not be returning. I drove over an hour yesterday to score some of my Favorite Scottish fare, only to be asked to leave and come back at another time. I walked into the the store, there were three customers in from of me. Within about two minutes three more customers walked in. We were all standing in line patiently waiting our turn when the man behind the counter asked, "who is picking up an online order." two customers raised their hands. Then the unthinkable happened. The man behind the counter very rudely announced, "if your not here for an online order.... get the f*ck out and come back at another time." Several of us looked at one another and said "what" he then repeated himself again with the same statement. I said to him "that I don't have the option to come back at another time. I just drove over an hour to get here." His response was, "I don't give a f*ck." Several of us walked out completely dumbfounded. I've been coming here for a long time and the service has steadily been going downhil over the past few years. I enjoy their meat pies, bridies, white and black pudding. His haggis is mediocre at best, and his bangers are not proper. They are more of a sausage link as opposed to a banger. I've delt with some of their short comings for years, but allowing such a rude individual to run the front counter is inexcuable. The store is dated and in desperate need of an update. It is also filthy inside. To the owner. You have lost a long time loyal customer, and you will continue to lose customers by hiring such trash. To the man behind the counter yesterday 12/21/21...... Piss off! read more

I would not recommend shopping here. The website is third rate. I then decided to call to place my order to be shipped. I spoke with the owner who was not only incredibly rude, he was ignorant to what was actually on the website. I wanted to try this place to surprise my dad with a nice shipment of Scottish fare. I had heard the food was average at best....so my recommendation is to go somewhere else. read more

Beef links are quite possibly my other favorite food in this world apart from fish and chips. As I am writing this now I have a craving. My family has been going to this shop for generations. My personal favorites from the shop are the beef links, but everything else has been said to be amazing. This is also one place where you can get real HP sauce, not the fake HP sauce sold in the grocery store. And yes, they taste differently. read more

I love, love, love Stewarts! We get a haggis from them every year for our Rabbie Burns supper, as Stewarts always has a food booth at the Long Island Scottish Highland Games every summer. We eat hot, fresh meat pies and bridies while walking around Old Westbury Gardens, and then on the way out we buy a frozen haggis to keep for later. It's so great to have this little bit of Scotland here in the US! ***UPDATE*** I would like to add that my review of Stewarts is really based only on their products sold at the highland games... I have never been to their store in NJ, have never dealt with their staff, nor ordered anything online. Today I read the other reviews for the first time, and I have to admit... since I am ordering online for this year's Rabbie Burns dinner, I ordered from Cameron's instead. All the shipping/ordering horror stories here scared me away. read more

Products are fine, but the owners are unbelievably rude. I called first to place our order to save time (we were driving to Kearny from two hours away), but was told they couldn't take orders over the phone. I asked about the availability of specific pies/pasties and was told "whatever we have." The owner was anything but appreciative of our business. We took a chance and drove the two hours, and the man who waited on us was just as rude in person as he was over the phone. He placed our (large) order in paper bags instead of boxes; didn't even thank us for our patronage. As a native of Scotland, I refuse to believe that this guy is of Scottish nationality. Trust me, the Scots - especially business owners - are much, much nicer. read more
