I was led to buy a Vacio steak for dinner with my extended family and I couldn't be happier with how it turned out.

What a treasure and close enough to walk to.

WOW, we finally found a real "Butcher Shop / Meat Market. Funny, it's been here for more than a…read morehundred years. This shop is very clean and no nasty odors. Their meat is fresh, they have a great selection of cuts and everything is priced well. Beef, pork and some chicken. We didn't see any veal or lamb, that is the only reason why we rated them a four. It's nice being able to buy as little, or as much that you need. Nothing is wrapped in plastic and styrofoam, just good old fashioned butcher paper. They do take special requests, just call ahead. This is not a "Grocery Store" just a great Meat Market. Yes, we will be purchasing our meats here at Gemmans Meat Shop. Take a little drive, we promise you won't be disappointed.

The produce always looks fresh and we have never had a poor tasting item. The meat/ seafood counter has a great selection. There's a mini cheese basket where you can try small amounts of each cheese, we've mostly paid $1-2 each for these! Definitely not a place you can complete all of your shopping but always worth going to.

They also have shelves full of dry goods as well. We went with the polish plate and hot ham and cheese sandwich with root beer on tap. We sat outside on the patio and they brought the food out to us. She had to go back inside to get some silverware and then we still had to go in to find napkins. They were super friendly but seemed a little unorganized when bringing out the food. The food was pretty good. We both loved the sandwich and it was all the perfect size to share. I wish the kielbasa came with mustard to dip and would have preferred the pierogis to be a little crispier. Each order comes with a beef stick as well. We thought the sauce was a type of sour cream base but it was some type of horse radish sauce. We will definitely stop in again for their pasta salads and deli. The lunch was pretty good as well!

My fav's are the hillbilly (because there's no sugar) and the sweet and spicy (because there's nothing that tastes like it available in a store). The jerky here is more soft and flavorful, than the super dry stuff you might get at retailers. They also have a good selection of brats as well. If you're a jerky aficionado or just want great jerky, check out Uncle Jim's.
