Ring bologna had too much moisture (too much pork?) for my liking but flavor was very good. . NOTE - they give great instructions for cooking the ham but I used two internal meat thermometers to monitor internal temps while cooking in the oven at 350. Just remember that these are "guidelines" & you must put some liquid in a roaster pan, insert your temp probes, then seal roaster tightly with aluminum foil. Bake at 350 til IT of 155 degrees. When the ham hit 155 IT, I shut the oven off and just let the ham sit in there, sealed, until it's time to eat. Monitoring your internal temps still of course. Mine ended up reaching 178 degreees IT by the time we ate. The ham is perfectly moist and bursting with great flavor, it wasn't the slightest bit dry.

Funny I picked up the frozen beer battered pollack. I did some sampling for this review. Ham spread, not spicy, pretty mild and perfect for an appetizer. I got a creamy macaroni salad and it is clearly made on site. Not the generic crap. Some ham for sandwiches. This is definitely not the stuff from the store. The butter spritz cookies looked great for a snack later. You really have to hold back. If i picked up any of the jams and jellies I'd put back on the 50# I lost. The only non specialty items were crackers and sodas as far as I could tell. There's a lot of stuff here and a lot of people buying it at any given time. My favorite was in the deli. Pete's jalapeno pickles. Now Yelpers know I don't like anything spicy. This just looked so damn good and it was bread and butter style. A great flavor. Super big slices too. They have good cheese assortments and I was impressed by a huge block of sliced American. Lots of staff. This place is almost like a hang out.

For instance, I have been purchasing the Round Tip Beef Steak with a stated Net Weight of 8oz but I have yet to receive a steak over 7oz and typically closer to 6.5 ounces... that's roughly 20% LESS than the stated ounces. I love the Grass Fed and Finished component of the steak but will be looking for other distributors that don't under pack their items. After weighing a few dozen steaks with two kitchen scales, there is a consistent theme of under delivery from this company.

The extent of their COVID precautions is a plastic shield at the counter. I did not make a scene in the store, but I did call when I got home. I expressed my concerns politely and asked if the lack of masks was an anomaly or regular practice. He said that they have a plastic shield and a sign on the door to comply with the law, but customers can come and go as they please (with or without masks). I told him that the pandemic is real and unless they enforce mask-wearing, I will not come back. He said, "Fine!" and hung up on me. It is a bummer because they have delicious tri-tip roasts.

I asked again if I could please use it because I was pregnant and drove a long way, and I really could not finish my shopping because I had to pee so badly. She still wouldn't let me. I ended up leaving with only 2 packages of bacon and 2 canned items, when it was my intention to purchase much more than that. It was an embarrassing experience for myself, and I also feel the owner of this establishment should be embarrassed. I understand the policy of not having a public restroom, but please have a bit of human compassion and make an exception for an emergency. You lost a big sale today.
