With the acquisition by Raley's I stopped shopping here for so many reasons. I haven't been in in…read moremonths, and I used to go every single day. I had one of my fitness clients give me a card to AJS so I thought I'd give them one more shot. It's a $50 gift card & after choosing 4 items one of which was the sole container of arugula, not only was it not able to be used at the point of purchase, but had to use my own money because they couldn't get the card to work. The only offer was to call in and get the value of the card despite the fact that I had a receipt that stated it was $50. It's just nowhere near what it used to be service has gone so far downhill, selection is terrible -picked over-just highly disappointed once again by Raley's.

Great to take home or to make great gift items. Very attractive selections on the wine wall too. We are eager for the opportunity to enjoy service on site with one of the gourmet food items. The freshly baked items look delicious but would be nicely suited to earlier morning coffee drinkers with current opening hour of 10 a.m . Fresh seafoods display and daily selection updates will be a hit with shoppers as will the frozen meats. I expect this shop will become very successful and will be a 'go to' for us

We recently asked our friendly butchers to introduce us to something we hadn't previously tried…read morehere. I grew up rurally and had never eaten pork chops bought from a store until moving away. Same with ribs. My father, a Journeyman electrician had friends who farmed and sold their own pork. None better! Rusty Nail's pork chops, especially their porterhouse cuts, are even better than the ones I recall so fondly from my youth. Tender, perfectly marbled and flavorful like none other. They're not "grocery store" cuts. We also bought a rack of baby back ribs. My least favorite step in smoking them is removing their membrane. Not only was this (attention to detail!) step already completed, they were fall-off-the-bone highest quality. So good! Unlike when I was young these chops can be grilled to medium or medium-well if preferred, preserving their juices and maximizing flavor. These too are now on our dinner favorites rotation. Simple seasoning with salt and pepper is all that's needed, although next time we're trying their seasonings. We will continue shopping here regularly. We've referred every friend who enjoys value and great meals too--in other words we have suggested to everyone we know to give these great people (and local ownership!) a try. Without fail our friends are truly grateful.

We are really lucky to have this butcher in the area…read more Pros 1. Prime beef 2. Wide variety; everything from chicken to alligator (yep, you read that right) 3. Very helpful and friendly employees 4. The loaded and twice baked potatoes when they don't have much pepper (just a personal preference). Just reheat slowly in foil until soft and melty. Trust me. They are delicious. If you want one with less pepper just choose one with less black specks. 4. Amazing price when they have a sale. For their anniversary they had 10 pounds of prime beef (their choice) for $110! Phenomenal price and great cuts were in my mystery box. Cons 1. Save your receipts just in case you need to return something. I bought two whole chickens that ended up smelling off/bad (rare instance that this happened here). I was able to return them because I luckily still had the receipt. Wouldn't have been able to return nor exchange without the receipt.

Service is quick, the servers are so friendly, and sometimes the chefs will even personally hand you the dish. I'm always greeted with a smile when I walk in.

My wife and I moved to Cave Creek 3 years ago, one of the first dining experiences we had in this…read morearea was at Chula Grayhawk. We have been regular diners there since. My wife is from Boston and I'm from San Francisco, we moved here from New Zealand and truly appreciate and enjoy fresh, well-prepared seafood Chula has certainly filled that bill! We went there this evening for a casual early Friday dinner. If you've been there before you know that guests stood in line in front of the refrigerated counter showcasing their fresh seafood selections and placed your order at the end of the counter - if you had guests, if you were like me, I firmly advised them to know what they wanted when we hit the order counter. This evening was entirely different; I arrived before my wife and was greeted by a host from a stand halfway between the front door and the refrigerated case. Tiffany greeted me and asked how many in my party and said she would seat me. I asked, don't we order at the counter? She said, no, tonight is the first night we are trying full table service. What a great change! Chelsea was our server, we ordered drinks and had time to look at the menu. Far more relaxing! Arriving just before 5 pm, we enjoyed happy hour prices for our beverages, and I ordered fresh northwest coast oysters as an appetizer at $1 less per oyster during happy hour. They were fantastic, tasting of the briny pacific ocean, plump and properly served with mignonette. The servers and assistants were all attentive and each advised that table service was new, so they were testing it. Our dinners were well prepared and delicious, I had one of the best salmon filets I've been served, grilled to perfection and served with my request for lemon butter only. When presented the check, I asked about inputting my phone number as a regular we've been earning points. The server was able to input my number at the table and we received a discount on top of it. I certainly hope Chula continues with the table service as it was far more relaxing and less hectic than standing in line. Either way, the seafood has always been exceptional - kudos to the chefs. BTW - Tiffany is the manager and touched tables and showed that she cares; Sorry for the long review but it was such a service change I want everyone to know. We will be back!

We always shop here with full confidence that whatever we select (typically with their expert staff's guidance) it'll be extremely fresh. That it's also of the highest quality goes without saying. Tonight we're having steamed clams with drawn garlic butter and fresh rustic Noble Bread, and Idaho trout. We both cannot wait. We have cooked their fresh trout before. It's the best we have ever eaten, whether at home or out. Simply by looking at their clear eyes one knows immediately how long ago they were caught. This pair nearly looks like they used eye drops before coming home with us (wink).
