All of the meat is butchered on site. Oh my. The pepper bacon makes me want to slap something it's that good. I buy 4lbs and have them wrap it up in 1/2 pound packages. We use it in elevated BLT's. They also have a meatloaf mix that is ready to go. Buy the pound amount you want, take it home, drop in pan, bake and make everyone think your Betty Crocker. They can get you anything. Venison, beef, pork, gator. Yup. Anything. Fresh veggies are displayed in a sweet little produce area. It feels old school and comfy. They are always really nice and fresh. Oh! There's a bakery case. I've loved everything I've gotten but my favorite is the small pecan roll. It's fun looking around. They have a lot of eclectic stuff like lime pickles...which are amazing. Local honey, bulk candy, canned apple butter and jams...just fun local stuff. A lot of their items are from fabulous ole Ohio.

Despite this person leaving me a voicemail telling me they would be there on a specific day (today) they were not there. A woman behind the counter called me a liar and said that no message was left saying the person would be there today. I have a screenshot of the message. She then starts yelling at me that they don't do the type of event I'm asking about. I tell her they have in the past, but why wasn't that relayed to me when I came in a few days ago, or in the message left? She is yelling telling me I should have called back, I guess instead of just coming in? She then goes to the back I guess because she's so angry??? I have never been treated so poorly at a business for no reason. I'm there literally trying to have this business cater a party. The manager "Dan" comes and doesn't apologize to me. He doesn't even acknowledge the way I was treated. He just says he'll talk to the employee. They acted like I did something wrong. I will not be returning to this business nor would I recommend them for anything. Who yells and embarrasses their customers in front of a store full of people over a catering inquiry?

Sometimes a few social media posts are all it takes to convince you to hop in the car and make a…read moretrek to somewhere new! That's exactly how we ended up at Roadhog Willy's BBQ in Mount Vernon, Ohio--and I'm really glad we made the trip! We arrived around 2:30 p.m., right in that weird window between lunch and dinner. We met Justus, who was incredibly friendly and answered a ton of our questions while making some great recommendations. Since it was Thursday, it was Reuben Day. Now, I love rye bread and corned beef, but I'm not a fan of sauerkraut. Hopefully they don't take away my German card for admitting that! I asked if I could substitute brisket for the corned beef and coleslaw for the sauerkraut, and Justus checked with the manager. The answer? "No problem!" That kind of accommodation goes a long way. My wife went with the brisket sandwich, and we shared fresh-cut fries, mac and cheese, and a piece of cornbread. Let's talk about that brisket! WOW. It was absolutely amazing. So tender it practically melted in your mouth. The brisket is smoked on a huge smoker right out front by a 70-year-old pitmaster. I didn't catch his name, but that man definitely knows his way around a smoker! The flavor and tenderness were spot-on. The coleslaw was sweet with a nice vinegar kick--really well balanced. The fresh-cut fries came out hot, crispy and delicious. Definitely worth getting as a side. And then there was the cornbread. I had heard they had a unique twist on their cornbread, so of course we had to try a piece. It was super moist, buttery and just a little sweet. Honestly, I'm kicking myself for not ordering some to take home! For a smaller BBQ joint, Roadhog Willy's delivers BIG on flavor. And then there was the bar experience. We sat near the bar and met Shawn, the bartender, who was incredibly personable. He shared some of his mixology background, including experience at some notable restaurants around Columbus. He makes his own mixers and juices, and you can definitely taste the difference. We ordered a blackberry margarita, made with hand-muddled blackberries, house-made simple syrup and fresh lime. 10/10! That margarita was fresh, flavorful and perfectly balanced. It was one of those drinks where you immediately realize this isn't just a bartender pouring something from a bottle--they actually care about what they're making. Between the fantastic brisket, homemade sides, unique cornbread, craft cocktails and genuinely friendly staff, Roadhog Willy's really impressed us. If you're looking for a great BBQ spot where the people are friendly, the food is made with care and the flavors deliver, get yourself to Roadhog Willy's in Mount Vernon! This place is a hidden gem that deserves to be discovered. And yes...we'll definitely be making the trek back!

She was super friendly and knowledgeable. I ended up with a brisket sandwich and my husband got the Rueben but he switched up the meat by choosing brisket and coleslaw instead of corned beef and kraut and he said it was amazing. We shared a few sides. We had the handcut fries which were made fresh and delicious. We had the Mac and cheese which was creamy and hot and we shared a slice of cornbread, yum! To top the meal off we had the made from scratch Blackberry Margarita and it was fantastic. The bartender is a transplant from the Columbus area and has spent many years in some finer dining establishments and it really shows. He is knowledgeable and very creative. You can tell he loves what he does. Overall this place is well worth the visit. Its a cute casual spot with great food and tasty drinks. The brisket was so flavorful and tender it just fell apart when they were preparing my sandwich. Run, don't walk to this place. Its a hidden gem in Mt. Vernon.

There are a couple of weeks in the winter where you get a lot of sprouts. So many sprouts and winter squash, but it's local and good quality and more than made up for in the summer when BERRY SEASON! They also offer a cheese share that is just fantastic, and the grocery offers some major brands of organic food/snacks and non-local products, but the boxes are still Ohio based. You can order pickup at major employers in Columbus, pickup at one of their designated pickup locations, or home delivery. I've actually done all three, but am currently on the delivery schedule, for an extra fee, which is a really nice service. I've had some order issues in the past, but if you email the company same day, they're quick to credit your account and fix any issues.

Yellowbird is a farmbox/csa food option that can make your body happy, your environment healthy, and support local small businesses. You can choose your size of box and frequency, pick it up in one of 12 locations OR have it delivered to your door. The produce boxes have between 5-8 of random seasonal veggies for the mini size. In addition to your mystery produce, you can add from their local stock which includes eggs, tea, honey, dairy, and more. The farm box is a perfect social distancing option, and a great way to learn new foods for adventurous or beginning cooks!
