In my case I opted for beef shawarma with fries & my particular shawarma I only had meat, onions & parsley & also had a small order of rice (photos will verify). Now the particular cook who I even had a word with gave me good understanding of the cuisine here; people at times I suspect don't ask the right questions about the cuisine done & this one was very helpful with the food they knew (also he emigrated from Egypt & very knowledgeable about the region in here) plus he gave me excellent information about the style of food including how even Greece was a bit since the two countries are not far plane or boat aspect.

"Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea And frolicked in…read morethe autumn mist in a land called Honalee" (Peter, Paul and Mary) Some of our disappointment with Autumn Mist was based on our false assumption that they had a sit-down restaurant on their premises. Why did we assume that? Well, their big on-line menu coupled with its reference to "restaurant" on their website sure had something to do with it. Here's a quote from their website: "Our Farm-to-Table Restaurant & Retail oasis is a celebration of community, sourcing all of the all-natural beef we serve from our farm, just minutes away!" So, we were pretty surprised to only see an ordering counter and freezer cases when we walked in. But we did get over our disappointment when we walked around their showroom where the walls were jam packed with meats and prepared foods in refrigerated and freezer cases. Steaks, roasts, soups, and prepared entrees were everywhere. The selection was pretty dazzling. We learned that they had a nice feature with their prepared entrees, namely buy one get a second for half off. We bought a two pretty big frozen trays of Chicken Marsala with rice and broccoli, and beef Stir Fry with veggies and noodles. I just put them on our kitchen scale, and each are between a pound and a pound and a half. One was $10.70 and the second was marked down to $5.35, so that's at least two (probably more) very nice dinners for around $8 each. One sour note was the unsmiling, unfriendly cold shoulder customer service experience. Barely a word was spoken by the woman who processed our order.

There is a prepared foods counter at the back, but we have never tried anything since most of it has meat in it (we are 2/3 vegetarian.) The only issue we have come across is that a lot of the ladies behind the cases will not speak English, or even attempt to try to communicate with you unless you are speaking Russian.

The ability to get in and out within 5 minutes (usually) was the main reason Aldi became our go-to grocery destination during the pandemic. The only reason I'm not giving them five stars is because they have difficulty managing stock (they are often out of staples like half and half, eggs, etc.), and because the store does not offer any signs or guidance to patrons as to how they should form a line when it is crowded (leading to confusion and sometimes unnecessary conflict when people don't realize they are cutting into a line that extends down an aisle).
