There is a good selection of brats, snacks, and other fresh products. I tried the Honey BBQ snack sticks and they hit the spot - slightly sweet with a nice savory hit of BBQ spices. The store was very clean and decorated with some impressive animal mounts. If I lived closer to Annandale I would definitely stop by here more often to get my stock of fresh meats and grillables for my summer grill-a-thons.

Earlier in the morning I passed this business enroute to the famous flea market. Stopped next door…read moreat Spilled Grain before walking here. I purchased a smoked pig's ear and knuckle bone for my dog. Also purchased blueberry summer sausage, maple beef sticks, and Bucky's horseradish pickles. The maple sticks are similar to Von Hansen's and summer sausage similar to other meat markets. I've had the Bucky's Pickles before so was excited to find them here. The price points were similar to Von Hansen's. There was a large variety of brats here too. My only suggestion to cut the beef marrow bones in half so its easier for dogs to eat. Their hours are until 2 on a Saturday so plan ahead.

I finally made it over around lunch time and apologized in advance because I wanted to "taste test" a variety of different items. The gentleman who was helping me was super patient and just overall thrilled to have me wanting to try so many things so this was my spread & reactions: 1. Turkey jerky - very interesting compared to others I've had, a bit too salty for my liking but my husband said it was in his top 2 and is a turkey jerky fiend so I'd take his word over mine 2. Normal jerky - a little thinner than I prefer but really great flavor, easy to chew without being too soft nor hard like leather. It's in MY top two for sure! 3. Beef stick & cheese beef stick - these were both really good! The butcher helping me recommended trying the cheese because it's his personal favorite but I actually thought the normal beef was actually better! 4. Smoked salmon - this was actually my favorite of all the different snacks we tried, it was smoked really well that brought out the natural flavors of the fish. It wasn't dry or crumbled, but kept its own and easily was devoured without any morsel left behind! Although I didn't try anything from the freezers, they had such a huge variety we just have to come back again soon! Thanks for the great service and hospitality while I took forever to explore!

Nonetheless, there was a really great variety of meats available packaged and ready to go as well as a great array of sweets, drinks, and other food items. I ended up grabbing a Tbone, NY strip, and some monster cookies for our dinner and the steaks were amazing! The cashier didn't know exactly what farm the meat was sourced from but she did say it was local to the Midwest and that's good enough for me. The cookies were sooo delicious, soft, and had big chunks of chocolate chip with peanuts too!
