This is the absolute best grocery store for German food. I have been coming here all of my life and it has stood the test of time.Extremely clean and a fantastic little store. Great staff, well organized and an awesome selection!Cathy at the register and all of the butchers are top notch! They are all about a great customer experience!The wonderful smell of German food when you walk in the door brings me back to my childhood.I host an Oktoberfest every year and buy everything from the Forest Pork Store. Needless to say, the food is a big hit.....great quality and delicious taste!Bottom line, this place brings me to my happy place!

The meat is amazing, the selection of German imported goods is great and makes me feel very nostalgic. The best part however is the customer service. The crew is very friendly and helpful and they go above and beyond to make sure you have a great experience. Will definitely be coming back here from now on for most of my meat shopping trips and will slowly eat my way through their selection.

More brands and styles of mustard than I ever thought existed. Well organized products out of primarily German cuisine. Beautiful looking cuts if meat and brats and wieners of all shapes and sizes. I was attracted to the freezer full of large German soft pretzels and the red creamy birch soda. Went well with my lunch of cod liver and German pretzel. Worth a visit. You may find a few new things you never knew existed. Pleasant staff as well.

Its a wonderful little butcher shop with some german favorites that are hard to find any where else. Some of the prices are a little higher than your average butcher and the selection is a little smaller but its definitely worth a visit

I’m a fan of this butcher store for over 20 years and I travel about 28 miles each way to get my cold cuts there. For the second time in two weeks I am put on hold for a really long time. I just hung up after listen to the music for 13 minutesI’ll try some of the polish butcher shops near me. I understand they are pretty good as well

When I was little, my Oma and Opa would bring products from the Forest Pork Store out to Montauk for us. As I got old enough to stay with them for a week up island, they would bring me to the Huntington Station store, where theyd order from the butchers in German. Theyd known the place in Queens and started coming to the Huntington location when they move out to the island. Now Im forty and I still make sure I stop by a couple of times a year for the fabulous liverwurst (get the kind with goose liver added), salami (seasoned differently than Italian salamies), rye bread (without caraway and with a wonderful dark crust), and other german products. They have some lovely wursts and great hot dogs. Also, you can get a lot of chocolates, gummies, candies, and marzipan--even more selection if you go near Christmas or Easter. The beer selection is not vast, but it is quality. If youve never been, I highly recommend you check out the Forest Pork Store. Its a delicious relic from a previous era and worth experiencing while its still here.

Review №17

Best German butcher around! Try the Leberkasse. Its like a homemade bologna, but 10x better. Warm, on rye or a roll with mustard. While youre at it, pick up some Bratwurst for dinner, and a few Landjaeger ( think of a really good, not so dry Slim Jim; no, way better than that, and not so slim). Top-notch meats, too! Ribs, roasts, chop meat and smoked pork. You cant go wrong with anything that they have. Ask the butcher what he likes and give it a try.

Review №18

Very disappointed today after leaving work early trying to get some cocktail franks for New years and yet again like last year they sold the last ones to people right in front of me and was told they have no more. How can they not plan for something that is a German tradition to have these available. These home made ones are very hard to find anywhere else so they should order extra and get rid of the regular skinless franks which are quite frankly awful as they taste like chicken broth and no snap to them and The liverwurst with onions which used to be the best but is also not the same now and just coarse and tasteless... somethings are good but you take your chances now... you cant even phone as the recording says they are too busy and direct you to go to the store and when you get to the store the response is oh well Im sorry. My new years resolution is to stop going to Forests Pork Store from now on

My recent trip was great. All customers were wearing masks. The butchers are working behind hanging plastic. The previous Karen post is extreme, we all want to be safe, but they are taking precautions.My order was great, I hope they survive 2020. A gem in Huntington.

Review №20

I love Forest Pork Store. I have been going there for decades. But, the way they treat COVID is a joke. There were 7 butchers behind the counter. Not a single one wore a mask. Yes, they had face shields. But, as is well documented, face shields offer ZERO protection. In fact, every breath the butcher takes falls right on the food. Second, there was no crowd control. The store had 19 customers in it when I was there. How can you possibly have 6 foot separation with that many people in that store? The Suffolk Department of Health needs to step in, ASAP.

As far as I know perhaps the only store in Suffolk County (and perhaps Nassau as well) that specializes in all types of German products. Well worth the visit particularly for their great selection of sausages, chops, fresh/dried meats and cold cuts. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Highly recommend.

The best German pork store this side of Dusseldorf! If you want tip top Wurst, meat, salads and German rye bread this is the place for you. Friendly folk and clean as a whistle. Cant say enough good things about this place. But then once youve eaten a few of their bratwurst, kreinerwurst or knockwurst youll understand!

FANTASTIC German Butcher. What are you waiting for? I absolutely love this place. I dont say that too often. I just recently found this store and was thrilled. Ive had many of the wursts and other meats. The Weisswurst is a favorite of mine having had this in Munich and many other villages in Germany. Forest Porks Weisswurst is fantastic and very authentic. Make sure you also try the Krainerwurst smoked sausage. Truly amazing! They also have a lot of other German foods and package goods.

I have been going to this place since I was a child, and am always overwhelmed by a wave of sentimentality whenever I walk through its doors. The staff are incredibly friendly and create a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Also, the products they carry are incredible and of the highest quality. They offer many imported goods from Germany and Eastern Europe as well as freshly made meat and bread products.

Laurie’s review is completely wrong. She’s certainly some type of malcontent. Notice every other review is 5 Stars. I’ve been a customer since I was a probably 5 years old. I’m 41 now. Freshest, best quality meats and cold cuts on Long Island. The men that work here are the most courteous you’ll ever meet. If you have small children they’ll most likely get a little cocktail frank for free to eat in the store as a treat. Great memories from this place.

This place reminds me of the Metzgerei I would visit when stationed in Germany years ago. For a little store, it contains a lot of German food items you cant normally get at your local grocery store. They have two meat counters, plus shelves of German food items. In addition to buying items in the store, they will ship via UPS.

Review №86

If i was able to give it zero stars i would. They dont deserve any. Are you looking for good customer service? Dont bother going here. You wont get it if their buddies walk in the door. You will wait on a ridiculously long line and the men behind the counter will completely disregard the fact that you have been waiting a long time. They will completely ignore the order of who came in first and take those special customers ahead of everyone else and as a business owner myself i find this kind of customer care appalling.The customer service here is despicable. There are plenty of specialty shops out there. This one is over priced and its not worth waiting a long line to get waited on only to be put aside by someone they like who has just walked in the door. Shame on you people. I was in your store today and i was one of three when i walked in. It was the only reason i waited. after i waited about 15 minutes about 5 other customers came in. I was completely disregarded by two of the men at the counter. who finished waiting on the customers before me and underhandedly waited on a customer who came in with a written list and handed it to him and Bobby the favorite client of the other man got another client that came in about 10 minutes after i did. You people have complete disregard for other peoples time. This has happened to me on several occasions. Three strikes youre out.

My family has referred to this place as the German Butcher since before I was alive, and its a favorite of my Grandma, who grew up in prewar Germany. Everything there is top notch, and a few things there I have never seen elsewhere. You can hear them talking in German in the back. It is a bit pricey, but well worth it.
