My grandson recently left for college and he loves jerky so I thought I'd start making it again. Last week when I went in to Beef Mart and wasn't sure what cut of meat to get but the woman who helped me was very nice and one of the butchers suggested what cut of meat to buy and gladly cut it for me. I was charged $8.99/pound. Today I went in asking for the same thing. The woman at the counter (not the same one as last week) acted like I was a pain. The man who cut the meat was very rude and was obviously put out that I was asking for such a service. (The same thing that I got last week.) Today they charged me $10.99/pound for the exact same product and the same service that I paid $8.99/pound for last week. If you're going to run a business, be friendly and consistent. Consistency was lacking in the attitude of those who helped me and the price that I paid. Is $2.00/pound going to change my life style....no. However, I sure don't need to go spend money at an establishment where I am made to feel like I'm a bother.

Outstanding food and service!…read more Recently moved into the neighborhood and found Albano's when searching for Italian food. Boy did we get lucky! Focaccia bread to start (big basket) was delicious with their homemade sauce. Order of four BIG meatballs was next and they too were delicious. Tried the Corn Tortellini on a whim with a Brown Butter sauce and it was outstanding! Ended up with the Banana Cheesecake as our server Brittany told us the Mom of the owner (Nick) makes all the desserts. Chatted with Nick on the way out, and he was very gracious and appreciative. Tons of leftovers and very reasonably priced. Definitely back soon to try more of the menu

The bread was also soft and fluffy, and it also comes with some oil & the Mariana sauce. I tried a few pieces of the tortellini from the group I was with, and that was just as amazing too. I would do a tortellini flight if I could (lol)! I thoroughly enjoyed the customer service, especially being able to watch the chefs make your food for you to watch. We saw the owner in the kitchen, and it makes you feel even more comforted that the owner is cooking as well. I would absolutely love to come back here! Thank you so much for an amazing dish!

Ever since it was taken overband even before, their prices are ridiculous. Do people forget that you have to bag your own groceries? Shouldn't that savings in labor cots be passed onto us consumers? Their prices are just as high as every other grocery store, if not higher. Their meat prices are insane. Yes, I know. Meat prices are high everywhere, but their prices are ridiculous. WHY do we pay the same prices or even higher prices, than stores with baggers? They run a few good sales to get you into the store. Then they slam you with high prices on everything else. HY Vee is a huge conglomerate. They buy in massive bulk but fail to pass the savings onto their customers. Why? Because they know people in Valpo will pay the high prices. They take advatage of that.

No alarms went off and the system still let me proceed to payment unhindered. There's a huge Christmas vibe right now. Lots of decor for reasonable prices. I picked up a nice "Joy" sign for my front porch for $8.99. Unless you're hitting up thrift stores, you won't beat this price until the after-season sales begin.

He had some really odd flavor combinations, which is good cause the typical garlic flavored one even gets old (by the way he did have just plain old garlic) He also has containers of baklava (which was tempting) Pitas were also sold at his stand, he had regular white, a wheat mixture and whole wheat flour pita breads. Everything sold for $5 each (Hummus and pitas) As I am writing this review I am enjoying some whole wheat pita & the artichoke hummus - yummy!

He offers hummus in so many flavors I don't know how many there are. I always get the roasted garlic, and he just recommended artichoke today which is very good too. While you're there, don't you dare forget to pick up a bag of his VERY crunchy pita chips. I believe they come in two flavors but maybe more. Lemon herb and Garlic. I get a bag of each, because they are truly to die for. As for the Hummus guy himself...Hot, and hilarious. :) His prices aren't a deal, but they are very fair. I paid exactly $15 today for two (I think they're probably 1lb each) bags of pita chips and two tubs of hummus. If you like hummus, you'll love his. If you don't like hummus, you'll like his.
