    Service was absolutely wonderful. Prices were somewhat steeper than expected but there are not many butchers to be found near Milford.

    Ernest & Son Meat Market - The Paulie, the eggplant was perfect thin and crispy and the long hot peppers and provolone was the perfect touch!

    I recently visited Ernest and Sons and had mixed feelings about the experience. The place itself is…read morenicely decorated with a cool Philly theme, and I appreciated the variety of Philly-style sandwiches and specials on the menu. Unfortunately, the service really fell short. It took way too long just to be acknowledged. The hostess was friendly, but the big man behind the counter, looked right past me twice and took another customer's order before mine. Thankfully, a younger gentleman stepped in and took my order, which I appreciated. As for the food, the cheesesteak was very disappointing. It lacked seasoning completely, and the only thing that somewhat saved it was the extra ketchup I added. I couldn't even finish it there, I ended up taking it home and fixing it myself just to make it edible. Being a Philly native, I had higher expectations. The hoagies are actually good, but the cheesesteaks just don't live up to what you'd expect. Overall, not the worst experience, but definitely not one I'd rush back for.

The restaurant is known for its classic Italian-American cooking, famously quirky house-made beef jerky, and national attention from its appearance on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives. Beyond the dining room, Ernesto & Sons is also celebrated for serving what many locals call the best hoagies in Brigantine, New Jersey--stacked high with quality meats, fresh bread, and no shortcuts. Between its long history, loyal following, and standout specialties, Ernesto & Sons remains a must-visit spot that captures the heart of Brigantine's food scene.

    What a great resource for the local community and visitors alike!…read more This was my first visit this sweet little store to pick up steaks to grill for our last night in Cape May. I chose 2 nice strip steaks that proved delicious accompanied by mushrooms, broccoli and potatoes for oven baked fries - which i also got at the store. I needed some deli meat and the woman at the meat counter recommended their own ham, which is very tasty and definitely much better than what you get in a package at the grocery store. So far I've made sandwiches and chef salad that were a cut above the usual. It would be perfect if they offered just a bit more produce...but I understand there might not be enough demand to warrant it. The people were friendly and helpful and the customers all seemed to be regulars. A great resource for locals and visitors alike.

    Came here at the recommendation of fellow Yelper Dee M. I'm so glad she did!…read more Gaiss Market is old school corner deli & grocery, the kind of place that used to be everywhere, until huge supermarkets came along. For me it was partially a trip down memory lane. The market is small, cluttered, with a decent mix of dry goods, cold, packaged meats snd fresh veggies. The deli/meat counter is the star, with super fresh, high quality meats. I orders the supreme Italian hoagie. It was excellent. Fresh tomatoes full of flavor, great roll, generous quantities of meats. I also picked up some packaged goods, including Gaiss' own pork roll, vacuum packed and "award winning". It's delicious, as is their vacuum packed bacon which is cut at a perfect thickness. We liked them both so much I've got orders to stock up next time I'm down there. Nice people, it's now a bring your own bags store - local ordinance. Nothing is cheap, the quality makes it worth the higher price. Parking - pull up spots around the building. Definitely will be back soon.
