Okie's Butcher Shop

Love this place!  They make really great and meaty sandwiches that are perfect to bring on the beach!  This is a fine deli!  I also did buy some "hot" wings that were already heated and they were DELICIOUS!  If you like meat ... this is the place to go!

I'm catching up on old reviews...such a slacker.

Anyway, if you've kept up with my food reviews, you know I'm a carnivore and that I love a good cookout!  What better to throw on the grill, especially on the deck in LBI, than a couple of thick NY Strips, filets or even some burgers you made with fresh ground beef?  If that's your goal, and you're on LBI, then I can't recommend a better place than Okie's.  

We've been coming to LBI for a few years now and while we eat out a bit, I love to just cook it up for the family, so almost every night we'll hit Okie's or a local seafood market...or even better-BOTH.  No lie, Okie's is THE place to go for some great steaks...they have an excellent selection and if you can cook, you won't be disappointed in the quality.  If you can't cook then you might as will buy crap anyway, or better yet...learn! you'll spend a little more at Okie's than at the supermarkets on the mainland, but it's worth it.  

Boys, a good cook will always impress!

If you've read other places I've reviewed down on LBI (which is really only one and that's okay) then you may know that I lived down there for the better part of 13 months.  In that 13 months I think I have eaten at Oakie's over 24 times throughout the entire year though perhaps not continually as I know they used to close for about 6 weeks to go enjoy the races... (not sure which kind though.)

Regardless of that fact there is no better value for your money.  Whether you want their $5 lunch special or just a sandwich with whatever you like on it you will routinely walk out spending less than $10 and for someone who had only an hour for lunch and then had to get back to a lot of carpentry this was the place to fill your belly.

Everyone in my family knows how to eat.  Hands-down I could probably beat just about everyone but my cousin however even Oakie's provides significant challenges in the finishing-of-my-plate department as you can barely get your mouth around their sandwiches.  And on top of that everything is sliced fresh and their roast beef is so rare you can't get it any better!  To top it all off they put their sandwiches on REAL bread.  None of this supermarket brand/Wonderbread type of crap... I mean real bread with a real crust (and sesame seeds on it are a plus) and a thick dense crumb that tells you it was baked by a person not a bunch of large scale machines in a factory.

And did I mention their a butcher shop as well?  Never bought beef or anything else from them but I bet it was all primo stuff too!

Keep it up Oakie's!!!
