Our Brisket fell thru for the Holiday Dinner. We tried several grocery stores with no luck at all…read more Yelp helped me find The Cut so I called. The Owner, Alex, answered and gave me some great information-- most importantly that he DID have a Brisket and he COULD accommodate our request. Whew!!! When I arrived, Alex showed me the meat and discussed with me the options for trimming off the fat and trimming it down to the size I desired. Alex's staff -- both the store personnel and the actual butchers -- were all friendly and helpful. Alex gave me a tour of the store and I bought a bunch of cheese, dried fruit, etc., while I was waiting for my USDA Prime Brisket to be ready! Such a nice store! Such nice people! Not the least expensive cut of meat I have ever bought ... but WOW!!! The meat cooked perfectly!!! This was literally the single BEST brisket I have ever eaten (and I have eaten a LOT of brisket in my life!)! I have subsequently heard from other people in the area that The Cut is well known for selling top quality meats. I look forward to going back for more soon! I strongly recommend The Cut Butchery for all your meat (and fish!) needs!

What a place, even though I didn't know what to expect my experience was excellent. Helpful Team,…read morepatiently answering my questions, waiting while I looked at everything, thoughtfully teaching & never acting like I should know these things about cuts of meat or the types of things a Butcher would provide. In addition they have every spice, rub, utensil, cheese or extra you might need to increase your enjoyment of the purchase. Plus their local farm raised brown eggs for sale, wow!

It reminded me very strongly of a bright new HMart. Fresh fruit and veggies galore. I found Noh's seasoning packets there that I have not been able to find in HMart for years, and also identified numerous Asian food items that generally make HMart a go-to grocery store for me. Clean, organized, well-stocked. I'm thinking I may change my shopping habits a little and start checking out these Fresh World stores when I'm near one. This location is a winner.

Food selection is a great variety ranging from Asian to Latino with the basics in between. The vegetables & fruit selection is super fresh and of so many types you should be able to find what you are looking for. Great Seafood & fresh meat selections, enough to suit most tastes Prices are in-line with area, like anywhere else you have to shop around. So far my wife has found what she was looking for which beats driving to Annandale. The Food-Court has two (that we tried) that were delicious and reasonably priced. Service is friendly enough, and security is tight with a command center with enough tvs to rival Vegas, and roaming security guard.

The staff is super. Susanne outstanding!…read more Our latest sandwich favorite is the BLT, bacon, spring mix, and genuinely tasty tomatoes. It comes with avocado and mayo, neither of which we like, and I ordered without them. Unfortunately we received avocado. I brought them back and explained the mix-up. Susanne, one of the servers, took them and came to our table with fresh sandwiches. I bit into mine and tasted onion and it had the mayo herb spread on it. I debated throwing it away for about 30 seconds but brought it back and Susanne (susie) who had replaced the first sandwiches cheerfully said "I've got you" and replaced it with a new one, no mayo, no avocado, no attitude, and I really was so grateful and of course enjoyed every bite. My sister loves the chocolate chip cookie and when they realized they were out Susanne intervened and said a new batch was coming and would be ready in 20 minutes. So my sister and I ate and by the time we were finished I went to the counter and Susanne brought out the still warm cookie. My sister is handicapped and it's one of the quicker, brighter restaurants as I can open the door closer to the handicapped parking for her which saves her steps she would need to reach the main entrance. She gets a booth and i order the food and drinks. I'm given a number to display on the table so we can have the drinks and chat and the server brings the food. We get to be leisurely since it's never been crowded when we go, usually in the afternoon. Someone always checks to see how we're doing and clear any dishes sometimes even getting refills for us. Kudos to one of our favorite restaurants. Thank you Susanne for your great service! They have a handicapped stall in the restroom and my sister is able to go alone on her walker. There are two or three handicapped spots located in front of a connected store with an accessible curb and the sidewalk leads to McAlisters, no street crossing involved.

First time entering Makola Market, I received no greetings or assistance. I wanted to purchase a…read morelovely necklace, but never received help. So I only purchased two products for my immune system that totaled to almost $50. After, reaching home I noticed one bottle revealed an expired date. Day two, I returned the outdated product back to Makola Market. I told the male cashier that I purchased an outdated product. The cashier looked angry, snatched the bag, and said nothing. Then he angrily said "Put your card in." I thanked him and left. That was an odd experience. I would think I would be treated better for purchasing their products. The worst experience ever! This store really don't deserve any stars, but I have to give them at least one.

Cow hooves the size of a human head, chicken feet looking ascetic in comparison and a smell both…read moreattractive and repellent -- that's what I found at this international food store. It was our last stop along this strip mall around the world, and I wanted to go in where the umber pungency of salted sea creatures beckoned. Eagerly, I dove in, surrounded by Africans chattering and provisioning. We walked past the neon bright refrigerated shelves, where the doors were open -- as I urgently passed by, the stoned eyes of the dried whole fish seemed to brighten. Quickly, I said, let's take a tour of the whole store, both aisles. In the back was a butcher with many feet in the counter. I can't remember the others as I mostly registered how big and CLEAN (that butcher is one heck of a pedicurist) the cow's hooves were. And I thought of how long they would have to cook in some delicious peanut sauce from West Africa, maybe Ghana (where the Makola moniker comes from?). I regret to say that we did not buy anything on this first scouting mission. But I'll go back and investigate further. So, if you need to know where to get hooves and such, now you know. I like knowing that it's possible.

Please don't take this gem away! I drove over 30 minutes to find this hidden gem and it was worth…read morethe time. I was able to find almost everything I was looking for. The staff was also very helpful! I was even able to find some of my childhood favorites. They have all of the local favorites that us DMVers grew up on, including 2 Liter Rock Creek sodas in various flavors, the big huge donuts (where you only need one), the frozen shrimp in the little freezer right outside of the deli, and a nice selection of international foods. This visit really brought back memories. I hope they don't close this one!

The shop now has milk in glass bottles!…read more There's also local meat. We don't eat meat, but our pet does so it's nice to have a place to purchase humanely sourced animal products. There's also Divina stuffed olives, which are a household favorite. Another new thing is in-store vegetable share pickup. We haven't tried because we already have a CSA share, but it sounds like a great deal. There's also fresh baked bread now. It's been great watching the number of products increase. We used to to come here only for our specialty purchases like a harder to find dog food brands or the great River Sea chocolates. But due to expanding stock, we're slowly switching to a Nature's Nibbles as our primary grocery go-to, and supplementing from other stores for items they don't carry. The most recent additions to what's available- saw a sign this past week, are beer and wine!

This is a German-owner co so expect to see things like European chocolate (mmm) and they also have a nicely priced if relatively small selection of wines and sparkling wines. You can get most of your grocery list for a lot less here - milk, fruit, vegetables, etc.. but the brand names when it comes to things like frozen foods won't be what you see at places like Safeway. Still, I'd argue the quality is the same. The deal is here you bring your own bags; this is part of what keeps the prices down. If u don't have your own grocery bags, Aldi sells some nice big bags that I find myself using at home in various ways. Very practical. And, to get your grocery cart, you put a quarter in the slot, and the cart comes out of the bested carts. Then to get your quarter back, you must or your cart back nested in with the other carts, and your quarter will pop back out. All in all I really like Aldi; wish I got down there more often!
