We also purchased the 40lb. chicken breasts and are very satisfied with the quality and price. You can taste the difference and the care in handling the products was obvious. We will drive the 120 miles round trip to shop there from now on. (An easy side trip to or from the outlets in Commerce) The staff there was also helpful friendly and efficient. They have a nice if smallish meat counter also if you prefer not to buy in bulk. Try it you'll like it!!!

This place is a hidden gem with flavors that punch way above their weight. The brisket? Absolute perfection--tender with a smoky bark and that beautiful pink smoke ring that tells you it's been done right. The pulled pork was juicy, not dry or stringy, with just enough seasoning to shine even before adding sauce (which, by the way, is tangy and bold). The baked cheesy potato casserole was next-level comfort food, and the slaw gave a fresh, crisp balance to the plate. Every bite felt like it came straight from the pit to the plate with love and care. You can tell they take pride in their smoke game. This is exactly what BBQ should taste like. We'll definitely be back. Five stars all the way.

And unlike a lot of places I have zero worry from Mitch's about the meats and fish being anything but top notch and super fresh. Plus - by ordering ahead Mitch always has what I want - butchered the way I want it. Lots of the businesses I support have "rules" I don't love (like breakfast starting at 8 am vs its real starting time of 6 am) :). But I just work around 'em. One of the great things about owning your own business is you get to figure out how to run it your own way. Mitch definitely has a way of running his -- but I'm a raving fan and I love being able to order ahead and just run in and pick it up. Swim with the current! Go Mitch - we appreciate y'all!

And the rules can be a hassle if you are not planning ahead. It's all entirely true. BUT... Good lord is the meat good. The man knows his trade. His sourcing is top notch, and once you make it inside the store, he is attentive, helpful, and knowledgeable about how to store, prepare, and cook every product he sells. I can only afford it every once in a while, but if I need an absolute slam-dunk for a special occasion, I always hit up Mitch. His manager lady (I'm sorry I don't recall your name!) is incredibly nice and helpful, making suggestions and giving tips. The business has its quirks, and if you don't like the rules or the prices, it's best you go somewhere else. But if you're in need of one of the best pieces of meat you've ever had, suck it up and go see Mitch. Call ahead and you're golden.
