One of the best local recommendations I've received since coming to Pocatello…read more Several people mentioned Del Monte Meats, so before the 4th of July I stopped in looking for hot dogs. Simple enough, right? Wrong. I quickly learned that buying wieners from a real butcher is apparently a more sophisticated process than I had anticipated. Instead of getting the usual "they're over there" treatment, the guy behind the counter patiently walked me through the different house-made options, explained what made each one unique, and helped me settle on the Old Fashioned Wieners. Friends, these were not gas-station roller dogs pretending to be food. These were the kind of wieners that make you stop mid-bite and wonder why you've spent years lowering your standards. Perfect snap, great flavor, and somehow they managed to survive being cooked by a guy whose grilling expertise is mostly confidence-based. While I was there, I also picked up a wagyu ribeye. I braced for impact when it came time to pay, but the price was surprisingly reasonable, and the steak was every bit as good as you'd hope. Del Monte has outstanding products, genuinely helpful customer service, and prices that don't require a second mortgage. For anyone who recommended them in posts, thank you. #pocatello #pocatellogems #lifeinpocatello #supportlocal

We've used them for years butchering more than 8 hogs and cows as well as numerous big game. And…read morewithin the last couple years they have gotten worse. We've stayed customer due to our history using this shop. But today was the final straw. We had hogs butchered in July, when we picked them up some of the product was missing from what we had wanted. We informed them that there was a lack of product. They said they were sorry that someone else must have put our product into someone else's order and they would get it to me next week or so. I said sounds good I'll keep in touch. So from August till November I called every week to get our meat back. They gave me the run around telling me they haven't had any hogs in or that the customers canceled orders so they haven't had anything come thru. I even went down there once because they said they had it. Once I got there they didn't have anything for me and the whole group of employees seemed to not even know what I was talking about. They gave me dog bones for the misunderstanding and said give us another week. Well today is the day. I called like I usually do and asked for the product where the gentleman told me to call back at the end of the week or next week and check back. It's been 4 month and nothing has been compensated. I'm very disappointed in their lack of communication... I've talked to multiple employees and no one had a clue about my order being mishandled. Ive been very patient and understand mistakes happen.. but making promises and not keeping them is really frustrating. So del Monte you can keep at this point I am done giving your company business and my families business aswell. I hope those reading this and have done business with them in the past or plan on doing business with them to go someplace else and if you do keep doing business with them please make sure all of your products are there.

I do love shopping in old parts of town. Can't outsource everything to big chains, plus most of…read moreWal-Mart's associates somewhat dislike their job, Verizon's reps detest the customers who do not add a line and buy 3 accessories each time they visit store in person, Costco's stuff could use somewhat smaller packaging and Fred Meyer or WinCo although very decent do not always have all I want to purchase, especially meat cuts. Nel's has best meat and awesome Italian sausage and Bratwursts and also they run great deals on chicken products from time to time. Another good reasons to give them a try are the ambiance, the spirit and the attitude. As Theodore Roosevelt once said, "Nobody cares how much you know, until they know how much you care". One employee, I believe her name is Caroline, goes above and beyond in providing awesome customer service. You can be sure your shopping needs will be met and questions will get answered. She is the one eager to walk the extra mile and will even help you load your vehicle. She certainly deserves a raise. As far as prices go I'd say they are not too much above everyone else to drive across town and to settle for mediocre customer service. I mean I knew few people who would spend extra 30 minutes to save extra $0.30, but, assuming time also has value it is not worth the hassle. Plus corporate entities have means to support themselves no matter what and by shopping at Nel' s you contribute to the success of an awesome locally owned store.

For $25 you choose 2 proteins and they will bring you more as needed- but I can't imagine getting through the huge portions that they already bring. They were all marinated and seasoned to perfection. Thelma was a fantastic server who answered all our questions with a very kind heart. She directed us to the cold bar that had such an array of raw seafood, veggies and sauce fixings it was overwhelming. One couple was taking photos as they had never seen such a huge amount of choices. People are driving hours just to come here, it's that good.

They let us know about the kitchen being a little backed up, so the food would take a little longer than normal. I love being informed about such things so I dont just sit there and wonder what's taking so long. Their hibachi is fantastic, the cooks are so lively. Tried their dine in experience for the first time and it was amazing. The booth they put us in felt private, like it was just you and whoever is at that table. It was great, had the bento box and it's a lot of food! Great taste for a great price if you ask me. We will be going back again for sure.

A pleasant greeting and a smile while you serve your guests takes minimal effort. She seemed bored, just sitting up at the sushi bar while her tables were sat, like she couldn't really care less. A 5 min quick check back after dropping food is important to see if guests have everything they need, even if you run the food. We did not receive any small dishes for soy sauce, the appetizer was delivered with no side plates at all, then all the side plates we received with the one giant plate of sushi (combined for the whole table some reason?) were chipped, pre bussing didn't happen until plates were stacked for her - not a huge deal but caring about small stuff does matter for success of the server and of the restaurant long term.
