Tom Fridays Market

"Tom Fridays store was founded several decades ago, and it sells local farms’ beef, pork, chicken, and other meats as well as some dairy foods, produce, pantry foods, etcetera. I shopped in this store one time. Three employees promptly and politely served me. I bought filet mignon. My husband said that the pieces were small and had some fat, but they were tender and flavorful."

"I am a long-time Tom Friday’s customer - at least 20 years. I used to always go there to buy the good stuff and had help from great meat-cutters and most often from Tom himself. The shop was vibrant, the staff friendly and helpful, the meats absolutely top-notch. I was sick when Tom sold this place, but even sicker when I walked in today to see how it went from a vibrant neighborhood market to a run-down failing bodega. Where there used to be groceries, there are now poker machines, empty shelves and coolers, and just a general air of decay. None of Tom’s staff are there anymore. I hope you got a lot of money, Tom; the wreck that still bears your name is an absolute slander."

"Woke? In what universe? Many thanks to the dummies who knocked this place. I had never heard of it and just dropped a bit of cash for two fantastic looking steaks and a couple blue cheese burgers that I might break down and eat raw because I can’t wait until tonight. AND… Amazing service!! Well done. Edit: If we’ve had better steaks, it’s been a long time. And those NY Strips were cheaper here than the grocery stores where we normally buy our meat."

"Just picked up a pork butt for a party. They had the perfect cut and deboned it for me. Great meats. Knowledgeable and Friendly Staff. Great prices. New owners committed to the Brighton Heights community."

"I was told about Tom Friday’s from a friend of mine who used to own a local restaurant and she swore by them. She wasn’t wrong! I walked in, took a peek around and didn’t see the top round I was looking for. I asked the butcher at the counter if they had any. He apologized and stated that they were understaffed but that he’d be more than happy to check for me. My hope was to get two slabs to make some beef jerky with. I got two perfect slabs and was able to make some of the best jerky I’ve made to date with it! And it was so much more affordable than you would get at any grocery store. I also got some of their Cajun crab dip which my girlfriend and I were VERY happy with. I can’t wait to try their hot sausage! Great local butcher!"
