It was very refreshing that the first gentlemen that helped us with the hard cheeses made sure we sampled cheese in an order that wouldn't muddle our pallet, and when we had questions beyond his expertise, he passed us onto Matt. Matt made our shopping experience so easy, exiting, and personalized. We could tell he was invested in our experience, and his recommendations were spot on! he was a ray of sunshine on a rainy day ( literally lol). If you enjoy cheese, this shop is a must!! P.S.

We wanted to try one of their sandwiches for lunch and grab some items off their olive bar. It's self serve on the olive bar-I got some of the Gardenia mix which is so good! I took it over the deli counter where the employee weighed it and put a lid/price on it. I also bought from the deli a small container of cubed meat & cheese and sun-dried tomatoes. My sister and I decided on the #1 sandwich, we split it which was more than enough for us. It really was so good! They have several other sandwiches and food in the deli.

I work in Marketing and we often hire caterers for our events. We hired Chop, Inc. a few months…read moreago for an event and they were fantastic! I was impressed with how fast they got everything set up before the guests arrived. In most cases the caterers will set out the food and then disappear until the event is over. Chop had a wait staff that wandered throughout the event offering smaller samples of the food. They were dressed and acted very professionally. And the food was superb! Not only did it look gorgeous but it tasted great. They provided a few typical things such as cheese dip and crackers and pies, but they also had meatballs in a wine sauce, shrimp lo mein and goat cheese with fruit. Everything was fantastic. Unfortunately I didn't get exact pricing info, but if you're going for great service and food, then I highly recommend Chop, Inc.

I love stopping by local pig and grabbing any of their products to make a fantastic dinner. They…read morehave a wide array of products. They have all sorts of meat from beef to chicken and even sometimes rabbit. They also have eggs of different varieties including duck and turkey. They also have cheeses and charcuterie items. They have lots of pickled items. And even premade meals like pot pies, breakfast burritos, mac & cheese, and the last time I was in a stroganoff. In addition to food, they also have a few drink options like bottles of wine and beer. They even have dog food and dog treats. The store itself is decent sized. There's plenty of space for a few people to move around. They do have a large deli counter and a few coolers full of goodness. Service is always excellent. They are always helpful and can even offer suggestions if you don't know what to make with what. One of my go-tos are any one of their sausages. They have traditional ones plus a few fun ones. And if you watch their social media, they'll usually tell you when they have a limited addition one. The Rieger whiskey and apple sausage is one of my favorites. They also have a chicken curry sausage, which is excellent and has so much curry flavor. On my last visit I noticed that they have mac & cheese that you can take to go. They have a few different varieties, but I went with one with bacon because their bacon is always fantastic. It was a really good side. I slapped it on the grill to warm it up and it was delicious. Highly recommend. If you are in the city market area definitely stop in and check out what they have.

With every visit to Andre's I become more and more of a fan…read more My first taste came from when I worked at the Nelson many years ago. Julian, the Director, is a fan of this place and he'd sometimes order an array of cakes for the staff to enjoy, they always went fast, and it was my first foray into European style cakes like what Andre's serves up. Flash forward more than a decade and I've been here a few times, sometimes to get chocolates for a friend, other times (like last night) for a meal. I didn't realize that Andre's does special events like their fondue nights. I have a feeling these are annual so you might have to wait until 2027 to snag a seat at the table, but their fondue meal was so much fun and comes with some history from their staff. Fun thing I learned was that they sell their fondue year round in the shop so if you ever want to do a unique date night at home just pop into Andres and purchase some to-go. It would be such a fun way to spend a Saturday at home. Finally, I'm going to add that for me what takes Andre's to the next level and makes it a must visit spot in KC is the history. It's been in the same family for generations, the recipes are authentic, and the owners are really kind people. It's the kind of business you can feel good about supporting and I'll be back!

I'd like to give a HUGE thank-you to the folks at Andre's for saving my Christmas!…read moreI wanted to buy chocolates for my best friend and realized (on Christmas Eve) that not all chocolates are gluten-free. My friend has celiac disease, so it's important to me to ensure my gifts to her meet her dietary restrictions. I checked online and discovered that almost all of Andre's chocolates are gluten-free and--better yet--they were open on Christmas Eve until 4 pm. So I dashed over after work, arriving at 3:40, and the folks behind the counter were all so kind and so helpful. I explained what I needed and they showed me the ready-made boxes of chocolates available--but then offered to put one together for me right then, to make sure that we chose exactly what she wanted and that every chocolate was gluten-free. They guided me through the choices, telling me the flavors that were in some of the selections, and giving their recommendations based on my friend's tastes. How nice of them!! I walked out close to the stroke of 4 pm, with the perfect box of chocolates in a lovely gift box. Hurray!! I really appreciate the staff's kindness, and going the extra distance for my friend, at the very end of their work day before the holiday started. Thank you SO much to everyone at Andre's, and Merry Christmas!

Needless to say, I've walked past this place several times, but today I decided to look at the menu. Food items seemed to be priced good.

The crinkle cut fries, right out of the fryer and the amount given was almost overwhelming! Definitely going to make this my go-to, as I work a couple of blocks down, and the food stayed hot and fresh, even though I walked outside, back in 40 degree weather. Excellent value and food!
