Family and friends wanted ribs. What to do? Head to Okie's. I bought three racks of baby backs and remember the price being a little crazy. I also bought the Okie's pork rub, which I used on the ribs that say and still have in the pantry. Good stuff. The ribs came out excellent. I figured I'd try Okie's because one, there was nowhere else to go, and two, it was pouring outside so I didn't want to travel very far. My cousin's fiance recommended this place, as they have a house on LBI and the family usually goes there for fresh cuts of meat.
It's expensive, but you get what you pay for - and seriously where else are you going to go on the island for meat?? Acme? I think not.
We go here at least once a year when we visit LBI, if not more. Last time we got chicken and ribs - both came out so juicy and tasty on the grill. We've also gotten hot dogs, steaks, burgers, and pre-made salads (potato / pasta etc) here in the past - all very good, but expensive.
Basic deli and butcher - the meat was reasonably priced and decent enough. hands down better than getting your meat anywhere else, and everyone raves about their burgers (though I haven't tried them yet).
don't be scared by the large crowd waiting - take a number and enjoy an efficient shop that will get you out quicker than you would expect.
Great butcher shop, everything is extremely fresh, even for a take out sandwich, they pile the meat on, Living in No Jersey, I buy meat there to bring home.
