Visiting Henderson, NC from CA, I never expected to find the best meat around in an Exxon Gas Station, but then there is Bearpond Fresh Market! Beautiful meat counter with the most amazing looking meats! The butchers were even cutting to order if you needed something not already in the counter. We left with two thick bone-in pork chops and 2 thick bone-in Ribeyes. We grilled the chops last night using the Sweet Heat Barnyard Blend the butcher recommended. Since we are at a VRBO, we don't have access to all the spices I have at home that I would normally use so it was nice to get a recommendation from the man cutting the meat! The chops were delicious and were really juicy and tender. The ribeyes are marinating for dinner with great friends tomorrow. I anticipate we will be thrilled with the quality of those steaks as well.
Wonderfully friendly people, beautiful meats, a small produce and baked foods section plus they have prepared food you can take as well! Highly recommend! You will not regret stopping in! read more
