Sprankle's is a small grocery-store chain, and this particular store is in Saxonburg…read more My husband and I shopped here one time. The store contained the usual departments--fruits, vegetables, baked goods, deli meats and cheeses, butcher meats, seafoods, canned and boxed foods, frozen foods, dairy, beverages, pet foods, home goods, cleaning products, etcetera. The store also sold lottery tickets and surprisingly had slot machines. This was probably our first-ever time shopping at a Sprankle's, so I paid attention to the prices and compared them to other grocery stores' prices. We thought that the blackberries, boxes of canned sodas, and individual cans of wet cat foods were priced too high. Some products had stickers that said "Reduced for Quick Sale" but did not mention the new price. I also paid attention to the quality of the foods. I noticed grapes that were moldy. Nonetheless, we did find many foods to buy: apples, bananas, green beans, potatoes, mushrooms, onion, turkey, potato chips, popcorn, drink mix, etcetera. The cashier asked us if we were members of the rewards program and if we wanted to join, and we said no to both. (We do not live nearby.) She did a very good job of scanning our foods, charging our credit card, and thanking us. Sprankle's also offers a Rewards program, home delivery, catering, and group fundraising, but I have never used them.

The staff is knowledgeable and friendly, plus they have a passion for great cheese.

Very frustrated after our most recent experience here. We were so excited when Curds & Mold opened,…read moreand were absolutely in love with the wide selection available - shopping there often and sometimes making special trips just to purchase cheese from this location. However, this evening my father drove out of his way to purchase cheese here, arriving at 5:15pm - 45 minutes before the shop closes. When he got there and walked inside to make his purchase, he was turned away because (in spite of the door being unlocked and there being no signage on the door) they were having a private party. He was immensely frustrated and we're so disappointed in how poorly this situation was handled - they could have at least allowed him to make his purchase after driving 30 minutes out of his way to shop there. I will not be shopping here in the future, and find it very unfortunate that a business with such potential suffers from horrible customer service.

Real Korean food in Saxonburg - yes believe it! We went here on a lark one Friday evening looking…read morefor something different from our typical routine of pizza or pasta. We took a nice ride from the North Hills and ended up in a very small restaurant (read: reservations are highly encouraged). We ate outside and had Korean BBQ. The side dishes were authentic, the staff was warm. You didn't feel like a customer - it felt like you were visiting your aunt's house (if your aunt was born and raised in Korea :) We absolutely loved our evening and we will be coming back.

Both the food and beer deserves more than a 3, but hear me out…read more I love Korean food. I have actually made my own authentic Kimchi (with the fermented shrimp!) and we love places like this, ie Nakwon Garden, Golden Pig, etc. Beer: It's all pretty much the same when it comes to NeIPA and IPA and Hazy etc. Slightly different flavor profiles and viscosities. I enjoyed the HazyWumpus because it had a cleaner finish than the Space Cactus. My wife got the sours. I don't like sours but tasted them and they tasted as expected. Bartender served us. She spent most of her time behind the bar but did pay attention to our needs just fine. Food: I had the "Korean KFC" wings ($13 for 6 deep fried wings), they were crunchy. In fact, the chef's husband/owner came to our table (without really introducing himself, we had to ask) while we were ordering to "tell us what he tells everybody" that the first bite should be without the sauces to experience just the crunch. Yes, it was crunchy. Thanks for the tip. Not sure it was necessary. Write it on the menu. I can be sociable but it felt so random. Again, I think it's because where they seated us, we're a focal point. I preferred the gochujang sauce my wife liked the other garlic sesame. I felt like the garlic sesame had a very bitter after flavor. My wife had BiBimBap (chose beef) with Dolsot ($17+$2) it was good I had two bites. I got the K-SMASH Burger. It was good, but admittedly the patties were dry. I suspect maybe they don't smash it with onions? Not sure. They used a white cheese. The pickles and kimchi on it tasted good. Overall not a bad burger, but it was vertically large and very narrow horizontally if that makes sense. I believe I counted 20ish fresh cut fries, it was not that much. I would have expected something more akin to what you would get at one of many places around this part of the state that serve you such things. They were good though, don't get me wrong. The burger's kimchi dripped out all over them and that only enhanced them further, and I dipped them in my retained gochujang sauce from the wings and they went well together. They should offer that as an option, I never touched the vinegar or ketchup I was offered. If they had doubled up on the fries, it would have been much better in my mind. Don't skimp on those! For $16 I deserve too many. Everything was served on metal plates with metal chopsticks and we were given forks and napkins. Service: Did not have a reservation. Apparently to have KBBQ you need a reservation most of the time. KBBQ starts at $29. These prices may change in the future I'm sure. Upon arriving at the place, things were very confusing. You must park in Sprankles and there is no way to enter the parking lot near the eatery. We had to turn around and won't make the mistake in the future, but that's the brakes. Anyway, once we arrived there was an outdoor area in a heated tent, and an indoor area with an open window. We went to the indoor area and the food service was in the back near the kitchen inside of a window with its own register. We were asked several times if we had a reservation, it was jumbled but there were three empty tables. We were given the one in the center of the room near the bar. I didn't love it, but we took it. Look, the place is very small. I get that for some legal reason you have to keep your food separate to your beer because its two distinct businesses I assume. Grist House is a well known brand and we're giving it a chance etc. The chef did come out and say "Everything tasting good?" and then left us alone. She spoke with someone nearby for quite a while, probably her personal friend. That's fine. We, again, felt overwhelmed where we were sitting. For example, I was telling a story after our meal had finished and I was still finishing my second beer, when I was immediately interrupted during the first sentence about the bill. I just don't think that person needed to do that. It was not our original server, but someone we had never interacted with prior. I felt like a good waiter/waitress would simply hang back and wait for the right time, this was not it. It was nowhere near closing time, with no one coming in, so what is the rush? We were happy to get the bill but I mean right at that moment ??? Then we were derailed again by the bar bill showing up, and yada ya. I really believe the staff needs to go a little lighter on that central table. The following morning I am for an unknown reason nauseated. I had a headache when I woke up, I am not 100% sure it's their fault but it's been some hours and I've had a small bland breakfast, yet I'm still feeling sick. Their food is in my fridge and has a strange odor. A lot of Korean sides are fermented, perhaps there's something going on with that, or maybe I'm just crazy. Anyway, given the ambiance, limited seating availability, that it is 30 minutes away from us, we might be back, but not sure

4.5 stars. Mainstreet Bake Shop sells baked goods such as pies, cookies, breads, cheesecake, cakes,…read moreturnovers, danishes, scones, brownies, fruit bars, dolce cakes, cupcakes, donuts, pop-tarts, etcetera. It also sells other foods such as breakfast sandwiches, coffees, and dog cookies. My husband and I shopped in this bakery one time. An employee immediately and kindly greeted us. It was a late morning on a Saturday, and the display cases were mostly stocked with baked goods. Unfortunately, the display cases had no signs to indicate what the baked goods were, so I felt unsure of what some of them were. I recommend that the bakery add signs with the names of the baked goods. I chose a cookie (5 stars) and a bear claw (4.5 stars). The total price was a few dollars including a tip. I have no idea what exact flavors they were! Perhaps I should have asked the employee. But they tasted great! If you want to eat here, some indoor tables and chairs were available.

My husband and I shopped here one time. An employee promptly greeted us. We looked at the merchandise in the few rooms, which were a bit of a challenge to walk in because they were small and had other customers. I felt most interested in the candies and chocolates, which included both nostalgic and modern flavors. I selected chocolate-covered raisins and a peanut cluster. The total price was $4.38 ($4.20 plus tax or fee?), which we paid by credit card because we had no small bills. The employee thanked us. Later at home, I ate the chocolate-covered raisins and peanut cluster, and I thought that they tasted very good.

They also willingly helped me choose the perfect beverage for me while offering different options. There are about 10 seats inside the building. It is the perfect spot to hang out, listen to music, and enjoy your drink on a chilly winter day. I ordered the special for the day which was a Shortbread Cinnamon Cheesecake Cherry Latte. It was packed full of so many flavors but they all paired perfectly together. I never know what to order at coffee shops, but I am glad I ordered this. It was definitely on the sweeter side, but still delicious nonetheless. If I am ever in the area, I will be back to try another special as well as their amazing looking breakfast pastries.
