An excellent selection of Mears and prepared meals. Dairy products from local farms are carried at the store. You will never be hungry. The staff are friendly.

These guys rock, we order sandwiches fairly often, never had an issue. When I feel adventurous I will pick up some pork butt to make pulled pork. Everything I have ever purchased here has never let me down.

Great meats but less then great customer service. Had a guys weekend coming up so I called a month in advance to order 4 dry aged Ribeyes. Was told all set. I then called the Monday of the weekend and was told again all set. When I showed up though they were all out. They don’t cut until you show up, in case you don’t, which is fine I get it. But they should have asked for a deposit or something, or at least have told me it’s first come first serve. If the rib-eye sells that fast then it will get sold if you don’t show up, what is the point of calling in advance if it’s not going to be there.

If there's one thing my son and I are ALLLL about, it's fancy and exotic meats. We'll pretty much try anything once and have never turned down an opportunity to experience something wild. The problem is that there is really nothing local that challenges us in that carnivorous way we love. While discussing the Christmas dinner menu last November, he decided to just go ahead and Google "fancy exotic meats". The idea was to find a place that had a whole Goose, but if it had OTHER stuff too...DOUBLE WIN! Luckily this place came up near the top of the list and after some brief investigation and a bit more Googling, we found it wasn't super far from us (~30 minutes) and that they did indeed have the Goose, and...other stuff. We planned a Saturday afternoon trip for the upcoming weekend. Coming from our part of the state, it was actually a really awesome drive. Super scenic, small town after small town. It wasn't until we actually turned the corner onto the street it's located on that it actually seemed like an actual busy town. Quickly found the place in a quaint little plaza and grabbed a parking spot. On a side note, this whole area seemed really awesome. It was our first time through and we were impressed with the variety of shops, eateries, etc. Very cool. As soon as you walk into the place, the smell hits you and you know you're in for some belly love. The main deli counter was over to our right and we went right up to check out the menu. The plan was to get a few sandwiches and the Goose and maybe browse around for a bit. We ordered an Italian Stallion and an Ultimate Black and Blue Steak sandwich. The polite gent behind the counter let us know that it would just be a few minutes and to have a look around, we obliged him! Let me just say that this place has like EVERYthing. I mean something for everyone. Fancy hot sauces, a whole charcuterie section, LOVE!!!!! It's just a really cool store with more cool stuff than we could have even covered. And the back freezer with exotic meats was literally exactly what we were looking for. Kangaroo burgers? YES! We started small and grabbed some duck wings and a big hunk of marrow bone. We also took the time to peruse the fresh meat selection, I mean...It's a meat market so you gotta right? Everything was on the pricey side as expected, but visually it looked absolutely amazing. I couldn't resist grabbing a NY strip, just on principle. The sandwiches were ready in 10-15 minutes and we were on our way. Being that we were starving and 30 minutes from home we decided to indulge in the car and that was a good call. Really amazing sandwiches to the point of no matter what you're there for, you almost have to get one. They ended up not having any whole goose in the freezer as it was still a month or so away from Christmas and the guy told us to come back in a week or so. Busy schedule prevented that, but we will be back regardless. Grilled the steak that night and it was absolutely amazing. It tasted like steaks I've paid 3 times as much for in fancy restaurants. Just awesome.

Can you get wagyu brisket? What is approximate cost?

Arena Moseley | Mar 11, 2021

You likely can, I'm not sure they keep it on hand. If you call they'll tell you everything and they'll put aside for you if it's in stock.

Do you carry shrimp ?

They have a freezer with very unusual meats. My Jamaican friends wanted goat, and I got it there. But, that was several years ago. I would call ahead. And if they don't have it in, I'm sure they could make arrangements. Good luck!
