Prices are slightly higher than the "Big Box" stores but the freshness and quality cannot be compared. They also have a location in Geneva Illinois. Definitely a place to try when in the area!

They make their own meat sticks in various flavors and even some for the dogs. We usually stop to pick some up on our way into Woodhaven Lakes campground. In addition to fresh meats they have deli and frozen items too. Expect to pay premium prices for premium products that are worth the price if you're a carnivore.

The place is practically on the Mississippi River on the Il side across from Clinton Ia were I was hanging out. The place really sticks out from the neighborhood because it's red and black against a pale back drop. The place was smaller than it looked but it was packed with goodies from fresh meats, cheeses, sausages etc with a frozen side filled with homemade and not homemade items to cook at home. One thing that I always look for is the homemade meat sticks and anything jalapeño or hot will be my first choice, they had jalapeño and cheddar. I'm always bitching that if I want a real chicken fried steak I have to make it my self because virtually no one does because there the frozen crap, they have a homemade take home package of 4 that I snapped up but have yet to cook. The jalapeño and cheddar sticks were so on point with nice chunks of cheddar and jalapeños, dam I only bought one package. The take and cook country fried steak package finally got its turn and I must say that it was the best prepared take home frozen country fried steak I have had. They cook super fast and have a tasty crunchy batter with a tender moist center to my surprise. I'm really starting to hate my take a cooler while traveling to bring home items that I can't get where I live because there is great stuff out there and I'm probably never going to get them again because every trip is different. I would really like to come this way again and stop here so I could grab some more items. All in all this was another great county meat market that does what it does well and the whole reason that I now search them out when I'm away from home. I would definitely be a regular if I lived in the area and recommend stopping by if your in the area.

I upgraded my side to their Boo-Yah Deep Fried Potato Salad and thought I'd gone to heaven! I had a Bloody Mary too, which was good, but that FOOD! Service was great (we sat at the bar) and the ambiance is bar-like (nothin' fancy). Good prices too. Took half mine home for another meal later. OH, almost forgot.... I think their green beans are FRESH?!?

I always prefer the Work of Art sandwich. To me the bun, meat, shaved lettuce, and the horseradish mayo or mustard (not sure which) make the perfect sandwich. The pasta salad was good as always and I even got a baked potato with cheese and broccoli. Always good food. At all locations.

Yet we walked in, and were seated immediately, with a prompt visit by a server who took our drink orders while we looked over the menu. I chose their Smoked Roast Prime Rib. I enjoy smoked meats AND Prime Rib - so how could you go wrong? I ordered it with their mashed potato side. My wife had their Chicken George, which as you can see from the photo (updated photos are labeled 8/2026 visit) provided a LOT of Chicken. The Chicken George came with a dipping sauce, plus you have barbeque sauces also on the table. The chicken was fresh from the fryer and was very good. The Smoked Roast Prime Rib was exactly what it was called - the rind had a nice, smokey flavor to it. The Prime Rib was a nice cut, tender, and tasted great. This kind of feels like a country sports bar. Plenty of TV screens in the place, and wood walls give it a homey feeling. Service is very attentive even during high business periods and the manager checked in to see how our food was. So many good things - what's not to like? It's about a mile north of Rt 2 on Palmyra Road. You can't miss it if you drive north.

They offer indoor and outdoor seating so we chose to sit on their patio since it was such a nice June day. They have an extensive cocktail and craft beer list along with burgers, sandwiches,tacos,bowls,salads and BBQ. My wife had the Rodeo Burger on a GF bun which was loaded with pulled pork,bbq sauce and pepper jack cheese. The burger was huge and came with a side of slaw. I had to try their Trash Can Fries which were topped with Monterey Jack cheese sauce,pulled pork,pico and jalapenos. Absolutely delicious. They offer Daily Specials and are also known for their Chicken George which I have to try on my next visit. Plenty of parking and great for larger groups as well.

Clean bathrooms (both gender neutral, the further one back is the former mens room) that smelled good and not like other fast food places in the area which smell like waste products. So what about the FOOD? Like other people, I like Jimmy Johns sandwiches - the Hunters Club in particular, but it's so large, I went for a Vito (#5) with peppers instead. The bread was fresh, and the sandwich was well-made. The Dr. Pepper from the fountain was really good. For parking, there are spots right in front, but the distance from the street to the spots makings getting out....interesting. Instead, go to the right, circle around the building, and park on the left side of building (diagonal parking) so it's less fun to get out. Subs so fast you freak - I was the 4th order in, and had a total wait time of around 4 minutes.
