Publican Quality Meats

Have gotten the Thanksgiving turkey from here for as long as they’ve had them. This year I decided to try pre-made sides and pecan pie. The roux for the gravy was undercooked. Consequently, the gravy was thin and tasted like raw flour. The dressing was so wet it had to cook for an hour to get to some normal consistency (instructions said 15 mins). The pecan pie had way too much clove and cinnamon and was incredibly over baked. Mashed potatoes were bland even after following directions for reheat. The sides and pie were $125. 2 stars for the taste of the dressing once cooked appropriately and the turkey is always fresh and delicious. Just be sure you cook it yourself.

Ordered Thanksgiving takeout from this place. Was missing a pie and follows their directions to email if asking any questions. I was refunded but no one got back to me and apologized for the inconvenience. Definitely left me with a weird feeling to spend hundreds of dollars and not even get a courtesy apology when they make a mistake. I understand the busyness for Thanksgiving, but it’d be easy to have a copy/paste, generic template of a reply to send out (because I’m sure I’m not the only one whose order was messed up). It would take a few seconds to paste a template in a reply message and click send. Maybe have someone with some basic communication skills manage the emails in the future. The little things count, especially when making a first impression. The food was good - the brussel sprouts and bread were the most liked side dishes at my house. The turkey provided ended up being very flavorful and delicious. The ham was lovely as well. I do wish they’d had mac n cheese as an offering.

Stopped by here for lunch. Cool little spot in Fulton Market. Got the Porchetta sandwich which was pretty good. Dipped it in the tomato soup which tasted...

We went here during restaurant week. The food was mediocre flavor wise, but we got norovirus poisoning from the raw oysters. We called a day later because we were literally too sick to call same day because it was that bad. The manager didn't return our call or confirm they pulled the bad oysters out of circulation. Because they handled it so poorly I can't recommend this place to anyone.

I live in the area and have frequented Publican many times- never a bad experience. I decided to go to Publican Quality Meats for a pastry for the first time today and have never been so shocked by the dismissive attitude of the girl who was at the cash register. I had asked her a simple question in regards to where the pastries were made and in response, she gave such an unhelpful and dismissive answer. Not to mention the egregious look she gave me when i was asking questions. Not to mention the chocolate croissant was insanely stale. I thew it away after a bite. All in all, incredibly turned off by this shop. And hope that they better educate their workers.

So disappointing. I used to go to PQM numerous times a week a few years ago. Their quality used to be top notch. Now, they pulled their famous chicken parm sandwich off the menu, the bread they serve on their porchetta sandwich is dry, their beloved “marinated kale” dish is just large wet leaves of kale with zero flavor or craftsmanship, and they serve 1+ day old stale cookies at full price. It’s definitely no longer the business you know and love.

Service seemed a little new when we went for brunch, and, unfortunately, there was a delay and a mix up in our order. We were seated and ordered before any...
