This little grocery store is a diamond in the middle of nowhere... Which is the way the locals like it... Not a lot of variety but quality products and staples... Also, the women who run the store up front work their rear ends off and are always happy to help you find something with a smile.
Now, the butcher.... I have been a repeat customer for years at this meat market for "ONE" reason... They have incredible cuts of quality meats... And I have never been disappointed with the flavor of their meats... BUT, the butcher and the guys helping him in the back are incredibly rude... They are literally the "Meat Nazis" of Elberta... I don't know if it's a swagger because they know you will return regardless of their attitude, but quite frankly, I have found another butcher in Pensacola who has just as good of product BUT he also thanks me for choosing his store and recommends ways of preparing meats that are unique and delicious.... He won my business. So long Elberta Grocery.
Update 2019 -
I'm happy to report "most" of the Meat Nazi's have either moved on or been fired... I stand by my original review and the meats here continue to be the best around! My Pensacola Butcher moved and I had to revert back to Elberta Grocery for my premium meats.... However, be warned.,,, one Meat Nazi remains! He is short and dumpy wears glasses and usually has a dip in his mouth... kinda looks like a guy in a Farside Comic Strip or perhaps Dilbert. Anyway, he is still a mouthy little asshole and barks insults and "NEXT!" When there are only two people in line. He also has this creepy slight grin on his face and says things in a shitty way like... "You couldn't stay away?", or "So, why are you here?"... it's not even original or funny but it seems to make him very happy to make customers uncomfortable. So, some advice here (Unless you want this jackass to spit in your food)... Don't have much conversation with them other than "Hello" and act like you don't hear their insults... (This confuses people of low I.Q.)... Or do what I do! Don't go in at all and have friends go in and get the meat for you... I'm not kidding... I have about six people who go in and get my meat because of the attitudes of these "Deliverance Meat Jockeys"
The Meats are fantastic!
You have been warned! LOL read more
