Also be sure to look at their freshly made foods packaged to go. The salads are absolutely jam-packed into their containers. Such a great value. And don't get me started on their desserts. We even appreciate their local selection of lemonade and other odds and ends.

I usually love coming here, but during my recent visit, I was really disappointed. The employee…read moreassisting me grabbed the meat with her bare hands. When I asked if gloves are used to handle food, she told me they don't. With all the viruses and bacteria going around, this is very concerning. Unfortunately, I won't be stopping here again unless proper food safety practices are followed.

It's changed what I cook and how I eat. Horst Meats is my go-to place for beef, pork, and chicken. The product quality is high, and they'll do custom orders - even on the spot if they have the primal available. I can't say enough about the Horst family and their emphasis on quality and service. And such a happy place! The singing - sometimes in three part harmony - of the front-of-house staff as they work is inspiring and soothing. And, yes, they sell whole, half, and quarter cows. Yummy yum yum yum!

While traveling home from WV, on a whim, I decided to get crabs to take home to Hershey PA…read more Hagerstown popped up. I waited a bit for the place to open, and was getting ready to leave when a woman parked in front of me and got out of her car asking if I was looking for seafood. "Yup"- so I followed Rae, the owner, into the shop. I was really looking for jumbos but I know the drill-they are hard to get. Rae was out of jumbos but managed to get a bag #1 males together for me. The "cherry on top" was one Jumbo male. Got home, and immediately fired up the steamer. Dumped them in (all alive and kicking!!) and then started to eat. (The jumbo was dessert). After having eaten 6-7 crabs. I was full. Started putting them away and there were 10 left! So while Rae didn't have the size crab I wanted, she did me a solid and threw a bunch more crabs in. Everything you read about her in the reviews is true. She has a personality bigger than life and is a good soul. Thanks Rae. Hope you see this.

Recommended by a long-time resident of the area -- Snook's has been in business for decades…read more I drove right by, and turned around. The sign on the side is big, but coming from the East, you can easily miss this small place. I'm a big fan because they can get the fresh-raw chicken necks that I need for our three dogs. Today we enjoyed some fresh cod. THE BOMB. We also picked up some rib-eye steaks cut to order, smoked sausage, Italian sweet sausage, baby-back-ribs, goat meat (chunks), rabbit, and soft-shelled crabs (frozen). The variety is amazing, and the pricing is in line with other retail stores (e.g. grocery stores). Their personalized service goes a long way. "Larry" introduced himself to me and I most certainly will keep this place as a "destination" for fine meats, poultry, and seafood choices. BTW, they have fresh crabs on weekends.

Decided to give this place a try because it seemed on the up and up but as with most BBQ joints…read morenorth of the Mason Dixon line this one is also a fraud. NOT BBQ but rather roasted meats with a little smoke added. This, in and of itself, is not a bad thing as roasted meat with BBQ slathered on it isn't all bad, assuming it is cooked well. However, Jay's is a thief of an establishment as I ordered a pound of pulled pork and when I got home it weighed 10 ounces (INCLUDING THE CONTAINER). I called to complain but got a voicemail. It will be interesting to see if I get a call back. An establishment that rips its customers off AND serves fake BBQ. Never again....Do Not Frequent This RIP Off Joint.
