We picked up a Ross whole chicken, some flank steak, beef shank, and a few eggplants from the…read morestore. Everything was flavorful, and I'm quite pleased with the quality. Prices are on the higher side--for instance, the whole chicken is $7 per pound--but it's lean and not fatty, which I see as a healthy sign. The store isn't large, but it operates like a typical supermarket: you pick your own produce and get meats over the counter. They also carry spices, stocks, and snacks. Checkout is self-service near the exit, and I believe paper bags are free. The ambiance was lovely--on the day we visited, the store was decorated with fresh groceries and flowers. It wasn't busy, and parking was easy right out front.

I love supporting local business especially ones that sell local produce and meats and all things…read morelocal! They have a variety of produce that you will not find at Whole Foods/central market. Think of this place as a brick and mortar farmers market. The staff are helpful and friendly. They do not accept cash and it's self checkout.

My husband and I decided to try out Dai Due for our 8th anniversary, and unsurprisingly it was…read moreamazing! First off the reservations were pretty open mid-week; I had booked for Tuesday several weeks ahead of time but then had some plans shift and was able to change my reservation to Wednesday just a couple days ahead of time with no issues. We walked in through the front as the back entrance wasn't really obvious from the parking lot (which is quite small), but that was cool as we got to walk by the deli counter and see the meat and pickled veggies etc that were for sale. Our server was great, very helpful in suggesting items, explaining the menu, and answering any questions we had. On her suggestion we started with the sauteed mushroom appetizer but also requested the black garlic butter to be added on the side (I don't think there was an up charge) and this was a great choice! The mushrooms were tender but with a nice bite and super flavorful. We also got the grilled oysters- I forgot exactly what was in the sauce it had miso and something else, but it was so rich and flavorful! I couldn't decide what was the best between the two apps they were both amazing. The husband ordered the antelope over regular fries (as he doesn't like sweet potatoes) which they were happy to accommodate. It was delicious- tender and perfectly cooked with the chive butter on top. I had never had antelope before and found it very pleasant, not very gamey but with a slightly different flavor than beef. I got the quail over grits with a creole sauce and sauteed kale- amazing! It comes with two quail that I think were spatchcocked- the only bones were in the legs and wings so you could eat it easily. The grits were creamy and the sauce with the kale and quail was delicious. I was able to finish my whole meal but was pretty stuffed at the end! Our waitress encouraged us to get a dessert but when we declined brought us out a bowl of chai ice cream to share as she said she wasn't going to let us leave on our anniversary without a treat! All in all a great experience, only complaints are that they don't serve cocktails (there are plenty of local Texas liquors to choose from!) but we did enjoy a glass of wine, and then went next door to Vic and Als after dinner for a dessert cocktail!

Absolutely abysmal experience…read more I purchased a whole pig to roast for a charity fundraiser. Called a month in advance to secure product. Checked in weekly on pick up date but especially pick up condition, (fully thawed). A few days before pick up i was informed they picked the pig up early and there was a risk of spoilage if it wasn't refrozen. Complete shock as we had spoken twice that very week and that was never mentioned. I said if they needed to freeze the pig in the meantime to ensure quality, fine but I still needed it thawed on pick up. Pick up= associate can't locate the animal, price was not what we agreed to, and they found it "in the very back corner of the freezer". Counter associate said "I just work here, they don't tell me anything" Needless to say, working with Hudson meat market was the biggest mistake. Even with over communication on my part, they just couldn't have cared less.

The account is in my husbands name that's why you can't find me. Thank you for the offer to make it right but I'm going to pass. *** also it took over 7 weeks to get back. We've had a few deer processed there over the years and I can say this last one we dropped off in January for youth season was disgusting. The flavor was off, the jerky was gross, the backstrap tasted rank. I won't eat it or give to family and friends. Last time we bring our deer there.

Apparently you can't even use the restroom if you are a paid customer. So good luck if you have a little kid who needs to go. The lady who works there wasn't very nice about it and was wearing pants with the f-word all over them. More power to you if that's your style, but maybe don't wear stuff like that at your job where kids come in regularly. Or really any job that isn't a punk rock bar. Overall I still like Thom's and hope they go back to the friendlier vibe I was used to.

I've been wanting to come here for quite some time, but their hours that they are open made that…read morehard to do. I thought it was odd that they would be closed on weekends when people have the time to shop along with being closed before people get off work. But those hours make sense when you realize they produce for distribution, not dine in. There's almost 30 reviews so far, but I was surprised that not a single one of them included any photos. If you're coming to this part of town, parking is always a concern in this area. The good news is that there are about eight places to park at here, otherwise you'll have to park in the street, but at least there's no kiosks. As soon as you pull in, the air is filled with that familiar smoky aroma. However, once you step inside, you suddenly realize that this is not a place you can dine in. Basically the first 10 feet of hallway is where the customer service takes place. There is a cold case with all of their sausages on display, including a little beef jerky, and that's it. I have to admit I wish they had brisket and ribs too. They do make a tamale-based sausage for Christmas as a seasonal item. The prices are very reasonable and there is no tip screen. This is not just a grab and go operation, their sausages can be found in virtually every H-E-B. So the good news is that you can find them here or at your favorite H-E-B. Check out the nine photos included.

So fast forward 6 mos and I am now an east Riverside homeowner having an impromptu housewarming/cook out. Sooo..what better thing to have for my guest than go get a few lbs of that fajita meat. It's soooo gooodddddd. I have told my bf from now that is the only way I'll make fajitas at home. It's just perfect and doesn't seem to matter how long you cook it. I can't wait to try all their other seasoned meats. We didn't buy anything else but we did sort of take a gander at the basic selection and prices since the Riverside HEB is a pain for quick stops right now. Even though I can't speak a lick of spanish like Meredith says I can point and hold my fingers up so this may become my go to butcher & quick item market.

BUY IN STORE -- Not online…read more I truly hate writing this review because Rebel Cheese's products are excellent but the fulfillment and customer experience were a mess from start to finish. I ordered a holiday cheese box on December 3 as a Christmas gift. My card was charged immediately. The order never shipped, and I received no communication until I followed up myself, multiple times. After the holidays, I learned (only because I kept pushing) that my order had been internally canceled due to a system glitch, with no email, no refund, and no outreach. I was repeatedly told it would ship on specific dates that came and went. A replacement order was finally sent in January. It arrived late, wet, with melted and ruptured ice packs, and the cheese was very soft to the point my friends weren't sure it was safe to eat. The box also lacked the gift note that was supposed to be included. What bothers me most is that my card would have stayed charged indefinitely if I hadn't chased this down myself. That's not okay especially for perishable food. It's a real shame, because the product itself is great. But based on this experience, I can't recommend ordering gifts or anything time-sensitive unless the fulfillment and communication processes dramatically improve.

I have heard and read wonderful reviews about their products.That doesn't matter much if they don't…read moreship your order on time. I was hosting several vegan family and friends for Thanksgiving, and planned to serve their cheeses as an appetizer for all 15 guests. I followed their shipping date cut off and ordered well before the cut off. I ordered 11 days before Thanksgiving. On the Monday before I still had not received any communication about my order and their website said it was being processed. I tried to call and got a message that they were too busy to answer the phone and to send an email instead. I sent the email and the reply was We are very busy but doing everything we can to fulfill orders. They promised to overnight any orders not shipped on Monday. On the day before Thanksgiving I found out they did not ship my order and essentially asked that I understand because they are so busy. They offered to ship my order later and they would throw something in for free for my inconvenience. This was a standard poorly written customer communication. I replied and explained how after their reassurances they had left me without my order or sufficient time to find a suitable replacement. This time a got a genuine reply from Luis, but same offer full refund, or some free item. It nice for them that they are so busy that they can't fulfill customer orders on time. My experience was being left holding the bag last minute and not much in the way of an apology.

Wheatsville Co-op on Guadalupe is one of those spots that's easy to take for granted until you…read morerealize it might not be around forever. Since there are really two things to talk about here, the grocery store and the cafe. Both deserve a shoutout. Grocery If you're into health food and local Austin brands, this place has you covered. It's not a huge store, but the selection is solid and thoughtfully chosen. Lots of organic options, pantry staples, local brands, and of course, the famous popcorn tofu. It's a great alternative to the big chains, and you can tell they actually care about what they're putting on the shelves. Cafe The cafe is an underrated gem. Great sandwiches, a build-your-own salad bar, and some nice grab-and-go options like sushi. It's perfect for a quick lunch and offers healthier options than fast food. It's worth mentioning this location might be closing in the next year or two because of city mobility projects, which is a real loss for this part of town. Places like this matter, so it's worth showing them a little love while they're still here, and hopefully giving them reason to pop back up somewhere nearby down the line.
