Thanks to a fellow Yelper for posting about her experience with Evans Meat and Seafood . I took…read morethe bait and boy am I glad I did! Online ordering was an ease as was the drive thru pick up. Even though it was crowded when I picked up my order , the process was smooth and they even had someone directing traffic. I can't wait to try my wagyu steak ; the quality of the meats seem amazing & worth the cost! The staff I encountered, were all nice and wearing protective gear , so I really appreciated this!

Evans Meats is wonderful however they opened a full-service butcher shop in Pepper Place. It is…read morecalled, "Son of a Butcher". They have cheese, fish and the butcher items. The quality is over the top. The Cheese sections is an old friend that had a cheese and sandwich shop in Pisitz some time ago. Glad I found him again. It is also nice to have fish selections so close to my home. The real deal is the meats. If you are looking for a bargain, you are in the wrong place. If you are looking for great quality, look no further. I am like a kid in a candy story when I walk in. I grew up in New York and this place comes closest to what I remember. Bravo to Evens and keep it up.

I come to City Meats and Vegetables for the family meat packages that they have that range from…read moreabout $20 to about $90. For leas than $60, i received ground beef, leg quarters, drumsticks, chicken wings, tilapia, bread, a 2 little drink, 6 frozen pizzas, a box of corn dogs, chicken nuggets (that taste just like McDonalds), hash browns, and a bag of biscuits. I took one of my items off and replaced it. You are allowed to remove two items per package. The meats appear to be freshly cut in store and that's one of the reasons I love coming here. They also have prepackaged meats, pizza, and other snacks available for purchase. They sell vegetables, but I never purchase them from here. If you're in the neighborhood, check it out. It's a small local store that has been around for decades.

I'm new to the city and went looking into this place today, and it was great. Wide meat selection…read moreand family packages prices range from $20-90. Everything was packaged fresh and the store was decent. I was able to get porchops, chicken leg, wing, thigh, and leg quarters, fish, and steak( all having 15 pieces or more) for around $48. I Will be going back!

I love The Fresh Market. Growing up, my family lived right by the original one in North Carolina…read moreand we went all the time. They just have great stuff and some of the best quality meat in town. I'd recently heard about the $5 Thursday bistro meal deal, and was reminded to check it out. I'll be back on a Thursday! Today, I took home some sushi for lunch. Prices are the exact same as sushi from The Pig or Publix, but the sushi is so much better looking and tasting. The salmon and avocado roll was fantastic. The dairy section is small, but I should probably eat less dairy anyway. I enjoy walking around and seeing all the fun packaging (I tell myself I'm not falling for marketing gimmicks, just appreciating good design). The had some chicken breast and coffee creamer on BOGO free deals that I scooped up. The people at the check-out lines are always so nice. I believe there's a discount for UAB employees, too.

Ordered the Valentine's Day Signature Meal kit-- we chose the one with sea bass cakes and filet…read moremignon, asparagus and mashed potatoes sides, two heart shaped chocolate cheesecake things and a bunch of roses. Pick up was simple at the deli counter with one lady running back and forth with each person in line. The sea bass cakes had minimal pieces of fish, the filet mignon that I sous vide at 135 and seared tasted gamey and bloody. The asparagus came in a bag to be microwaved and the mashed potatoes just needed to be warmed. Wished the asparagus were actually prepped with the ends removed. Not sure if my husband and I will do this again. Will probably piece meal the parts together and prep the meat and veggies appropriately since we have to cook it all anyway. The chocolate heart desserts were the best part.

The ONLY place to buy homemade chocolate in Birmingham! They've been at it since 2020 (and you know…read morewhat that means!)!!! Starting out a block east of Sidewalk Film Festival theater and Pizitz food hall, they have settled for now across the street from Birmingham Shambhala Meditation Center on the soft corner of Forrest Park, Avondale, Lakeview, and Highland Park. My favorites are the raspberry truffle or the Venus bar which is basically the same thing but flattened into bar form. I can only eat half a square at a time. Because it is SOOOO GOOD. Satisfying. I mean, it's the best. I'll guarantee your money back personally;) Follow your heart. Go with your gut. Is it milk, dark, or buttery white that calls to you? Do yourself a favor and indulge in the sipping chocolate while you shop. Available Thursday thru Sat, this delectable desire you didn't know you had FULL FILLED. Again, I'll pay you back if it doesn't work out. This melty supreme divine sauce just might change your life. And you deserve it.

Delicious and special handmade chocolates would be wonderful as gifts for special occasionsread more
