Unfortunately, since the business got sold and had a change in owners, things have gone downhill big time. The sausages are far from what they used to be. Casings are not properly closed, they don't taste the same and their Wienerle look wrinkly and outright unappetizing + they are oversmoked. Very sad to see an institution go downhill and change that quickly from being an authentic German butcher to being a subpar spot that has none of the craftsmanship and quality that they used to have. Won't be back!!

If you haven't been to Hickory Hill, it's definitely worth the ride to check them out.

The nice thing about here is it is not community meat, the meat you drop off is your meat in the hotdogs when you pick it up which is very appealing. I brought venison to the shop to get turned into cheese hotdogs. When I picked up my order everything was very professionally vacuumed sealed and each individual hotdog package had very clear information and labeling. You may end up getting more final product than originally quoted but the family ownership is great and flexible to work with when it comes to scheduling drop off, delivery and price point. Overall, I think the quality of the product for the little higher price point is worth it and to support a local business.

The photos online looked amazing, but unfortunately, I don't think it lived up to expectations. Being next door to their marketplace, the space has a laid-back vibe--bright, well-lit, and it smells really good. The two people working the front (one taking orders, the other handing out food) were friendly and welcoming, which was a nice touch. We ordered the ribs, brisket, bratwurst, potato salad, mac & cheese, and fries. Of the meats, the brisket was probably the best--good bark, and not dry. The bratwurst was very dry and definitely needed the mustard. The ribs were far too salty, and I wasn't a fan of their peach BBQ sauce. The sides were pretty solid. The mac & cheese was okay, though it could've used a bit more seasoning. The potato salad was solid, and the fries were good. The pickles that came with the entrees were also tasty. All in all, a bit disappointing. When the sides outshine the entrees, it says something.

We knew we already liked Harvest Smokehouse after our visit this Fall. But they have taken a…read morestep-up to earn another star. While they are usually closed during the Winter months, this year they are modifying their menu to also be known as Smokehouse Noods - as in Noodle Shop and staying open through the cold season. The menu consists of four Vietnamese Pho dishes along with sides, salads, and dessert. While we were picking up apples at the attached Golden Harvest we stepped next door to check out Noods. I offer my sympathy to the clerk freezing behind the counter because the area is not heated. You'd be brave to sit at a table to enjoy your Pho as it is VERY cold in there. But having to do takeout does not negatively impact the quality of the Pho in the least. My wife tried the Chicken Pho ($16) while I went with the Beef Pho ($16). Kudos to the owners for being socially conscious. The takeout containers for the Pho are made from 100% bamboo. Each serving will consist of four packages - the one-quart container of Pho broth with your choice of beef, chicken, or vegetables; a typical Asian takeout container with rice noodles; a plastic sandwich bag with bean sprouts, jalapeño slices, cilantro, and lime wedge; and a ramekin of hoisin and siracha sauces. Important TIP! There is no way you have room in the quart container to mix all the ingredients. You should pour the broth into a container that holds at least 5 cups of liquid, and preferably more. Chicken based broth is used for their chicken pho and beef broth for their beef pho. In the past, the best chicken pho I'd ever had was homemade with beef broth. So, I did notice a difference when tasting my wife's chicken pho. But it was still excellent. The fullness of flavors in both broths was absolutely outstanding. The beef brisket and rare beef in my pho was tender and delicious. Next visit will have to include a taste of the Matcha Churro donut and their Apple Cider Donut Bread Pudding.

I wonder if the ice machine needs a cleaning. Something was not right about it. We ended up ordering bottled root-beers for $4 each because we couldn't drink the water.

We were in Oneonta for a week for Cooperstown All-Star Village tournament. We attempted to go here 3 times. Twice, we drove up and it was totally empty even though their hours said they were open online. When we came up, they were closed for a reservation. Once, we got in line and waited for 30 minutes and the line moved about 10ft total. We were still 20ft from the window. This is not a joke. If you want to try it, I would suggest checking their social media or calling in advance. There is no real schedule during baseball season and it can be an extremely frustrating experience. Good luck!
