In OB youve got European Homemade Provisions on OBT, Continental Homemade Provisions on Bordentown Ave and Aiellos on 516. The first two are Eastern European style butchers. I get my kielbasa from Continental. Aiellos is an Italian butcher/deli and has more typical cuts.

Monmouth Meats in Red Bank, Pats in Lincroft and Palmers in Neptune are all good as well

General butchery i go to Palmers in Neptune as its closest. When i worked in East Brunswick Aiellos was where i went for general butchering if i just wanted some steaks or ground beef for the grill. If i really want something special, Union Pork Store cant be beat. Their hot zwack is great and they have all kinds of custom and specialty sausage blends. I really like his Moroccan and Merguez lamb sausages. He does general butchery as well and his coffee bacon is incredible.
