Finally got to go to the Jones Boy's Market and was NOT disappointed…read more This is a real family owned and operated market with a real meat department etc! BEST pulled pork I have ever had and their bratwurst is literally off the hook. It's only a 29 minute drive from most of Spfld and is definitely worth the drive.... even if it were an hour away, it would be worth the drive!! Definitely my #1 choice for friendly service!

Fantastic quality bratwurst from a family-owned place dating back to 1932…read more This place is a small town time capsule in the best way, it reminds me of when I was a kid, when we went to the corner grocery. When your foot hits the front stone step, it rests in a groove worn over the course of 80 years. That is a detail so interesting but no one would care about except me... So many of these original places are long gone, replaced by mega-chain stores. What they can't replace is the attention to detail and quality that a place like Jones Boys does very well. Apple brats. Never had a better bratwurst, and i've had dozens of different ones over the years. Grilled over indirect heat, they are perfect. English bangers are also very good as a mild breakfast sausage. They have a modest variety of grocery options, dry goods and necessities. Also of note are the dozen or so BBQ sauce varieties. Service is so helpful and friendly. I loved talking with the guy at the meat counter, who explained the history of the place, and it's growing popularity with foodie travelers abroad. Do yourself a favor and grab an assortment of brats for your next BBQ. CASH ONLY. There's an ATM at the Casey's gas station a couple blocks away.

It has been a couple years since I have been in this place, but I was reminded of it whilst…read moreperusing Yelp here. It is a small store, but actually quite big for a small town shop. They don't have a large selection of more exotic things like dairy-free loafs of bread or frozen mock meats suitable for a vegan, but they do have some Mornigstar Farms items. I would suggest those for vegetarians if it were not for my recent discoveries about GMOs... While it sometimes feels like I am, I am assuming that I am not the only vegan or vegetarian visiting towns such as Monticello who is wondering where to go to get some eats. Anyhow, there is enough here that you can certainly make a meal no matter what your dietary needs. There just isn't much in the way of "quick" foods available here that I could eat if I just wanted to pop something into my friend's microwave. I am thinking that we did find some interesting items that I had not seen elsewhere, but it really escapes me what they were now. (I guess that means I will have to go back!) We were often visiting a friend in the area so we have shopped here when we did not feel like making the trek to Kroger or Walmart. I DO prefer to shop at small, locally-owned stores, but sometimes the hours didn't work for us or there were other things we needed at the bigger places. Everyone really should support this store though since it is such a luxury these days to have a grocery in a small town. It is for that reason that I am giving a four instead of a three because I am happy that it even exists. It was a huge selling point for me when we were considering moving to Monticello. All we have where we are now is a gas station and believe me I am grateful for that much! A grocery store would be heaven!

Make sure you check all of the dates before you take anything from the refrigerators. The bakery is…read morefantastic! The deli not so much. Bad attitudes and raw chicken are served up. There is a new store manager so now that Slow Joe is gone, maybe things will change.

When I lived in the area we went here so much they knew us when we walked in (sad, I know). Since…read morewe moved away I have grown to appreciate the local Walmart there even more. The customer service was top notch. The shelves were always well stocked. My local Walmart now is referred to as "the out of stock store." If you have a list you are guaranteed to leave with only 2/3 of the things on that list as my current Walmart WILL be out of stock. My local Walmart must have a beacon atop of it that calls out to all those crazy "people of Walmart" to go there. We have more than our share of these people. We may have 2-3 lanes open. All the serve yourself checkouts are open. Those checkouts are backed up because no one wants to wait in the couple other services lanes actually open. Many of the staff are rude or cranky. Who could blame them? Working in those conditions. Enjoy your good Walmart because they're not all that way. We quit going except when we feel we have no choice....maybe once every couple months.

Recently I was looking for small bike for my grandson. There were two that were marked as clearance…read moreat 50.00 and 70.00 dollars . I asked an employee to check to see if the price was correct. It was showing a much higher price . We took the 50.00 bike to return desk to see if they could sell it to me for price showing where the bike was in the rack .I was told that they did not have the authority to do so, that manager would make that determination. I asked if I could speak with him. The desk called for him to talk with me. About 15 minutes later a person walked up . His personal appearance lead me to believe he was a customer not the manager. I asked him if I could buy the bike for the price that was listed . In no certain terms was he willing try to work with me . I went home and contacted Godfrey Walmart and was able to get a bike shipped to me that slightly cheaper for $50.00.Very bad experience !!!
