    Yummy curry chicken salad
    Reena G.

    This place is small and great! We always come here for the sour cream potato salad. It's one of the best I have ever had. We were able to sample the chicken curry salad and loved it that I took some home back to Texas. It's filled with apples, cashews, raisins, and of course other ingredients. It's tastes really good and the curry is not overpowering! Definitely coming back for more chicken salad. The staff are friendly here as well.

    I really like Straub's market and enjoy walking around and shopping here. I have been coming here for years. The location is quite convenient for me. There is ample parking on the lot. The employees are friendly. They carry some of my favorite items, such as: as huge variety of Jeni's Splendid Ice Cream flavors and Kobe Beef patties for grilling burgers at $2.50 a patty. It's my main stop for picking up pints of Jeni's ice cream when I don't feel like driving down to the CWE to visit Jeni's, in person. I would say their prices are hit-n-miss, some items are prices high and some items aren't. I would suggest to check the sales ad for savings and the signs out front as you walk in. I love their fresh made items, such as: seasonal salsa varieties, chicken salad, soups, desserts, etc. It's a high end store with a casual vibe and feel.

    For a long time I thought the best grocery store for prepared foods was Whole Foods. That was until my mom started bringing home Straub's prepared food, and then, I more or less stopped frequenting Whole Foods. I really do love Straub's. It keeps that city grocery store feel while still stocking a ton of different foods. That's probably why they are only located in areas that seem more "urban." I doubt we will be seeing a Straub's in O'Fallon or Arnold anytime soon...just not their scene. Though my my meat eating days are long gone, I have no forgotten how incredibly delicious their fried chicken is. Nor have I forgotten the wonderful creaminess of their ham salad. Also, if you are grilling, the apple bratwurst are probably some of the best I have ever had. Actually, writing this review is enough to make me fall off the vegetarian wagon, I need to focus on other aspects of this place before I start head out to McDonald's and do something I'll regret. They also have great dips for bringing to parties. I am a huge fan of the guacamole and their perky pepper dip is something completely different...sweet and spicey and creamy all at the same time. A word of warning: use the spoons they put out with the samples or you will get verbally harassed by the deli lady. She can be brutal and she takes her job monitoring those crackers and dips SERIOUSLY. Minus one star because, as well know, Straub's is proud of their little grocery store, and they CHARGE for that pride. I guess you can say they are charging for quality too, but how much can quality cost?

    This was my first trip to Straub's. It was crazy busy Sunday, Holy Cow free samples every where, We got a few things from the deli, don't mind paying the price for gourmet salads.

    Just a glimpse of the marinated meats. So many many more

    One of our other favorite places to visit. They have a nice soup selection of 8 at any time. Clayton has more of a selection though. Walking in hits you with a coolness to your senses. Your nose tingles with the array of smells ranging from the coffee to the fliers, produce, etc. easy to just take stroll through and see what's new as well as visiting through the familiar isles. Yes the prices may be a bit steeper than other grocers but they are for convince and flare. There is so much to take in but wonderfully comforting and appealing. Everyone is friendly and knows the regulars. We often stop for the charred tomato soup or chicken salad mini sandwiches. The Greek slaw is the bomb!!!! Mouthwatering, tangy, sweet, vinegary and spice all at once monopolizing your taste buds. They offer pre packaged meals and a microwave to warm up your purchase. Freshly made sandwiches to your liking but they have an amazing selection of menu ideas listed . Some of the best dressings or sauces all made in house. Want a gorgeous cut of steak.. This is your place. Marinated meats of all flavor a, even ethnic... This is your place. Soup your thing but can't decide on one.... This is your place. Need a Jelly Belly or Bissinger fix.... Again this is your place. So much more I have failed to represent, well then check it out and add to the list of amazing treats they offer. Warning it is a bit pricey but plenty of options that won't break your wallet. Check out the wall case at the checkout with a selection of sodas that will make your head spin. No comparison to Rocket Fizz but a great representation of brands to choose from as well nice and chilled.

From the moment you walk in, the warm, welcoming vibe makes you feel right at home. Every bite showcases incredible attention to quality--whether it's their perfectly smoked meats, juicy burgers, or decadent sides. Service was friendly and attentive, making the experience feel personal and unhurried. Portions are generous, so you leave completely satisfied but still dreaming about your next visit. Pair your meal with a cider or one of their fountain drinks, and it becomes an event rather than just dinner. Honestly, Bolyards balances casual comfort with chef-level execution--10/10 would recommend to anyone who loves bold, hearty flavors.

    Just go by direct from the farmers, the markup isn't worth it here anymore. As others have…read morementioned, they do over salt their prepared food fairly often but that's just the chef's palate. Everything's high-quality and poor value after accounting for the price. I stopped in to pick up a pork loin because I was around the corner, looking for ~3-4lbs of meat. They only had a 1 1/2 pound in the case (order taker weighed it to confirm before going to the back, which should've been my first warning) so I asked if they had any larger ones. They were nice enough to check and offer to cut one. That's where things went downhill. After waiting 5 or 10 minutes, my order taker came back out to ask how I wanted it prepped (bone or boneless, skin on or off). I said skin off and ambivalent on the bones. This was my mistake, leaving my fate to the hands of someone profit motivated. I walked out with just about a 3 pound bone in roast, which is maybe half a pound more meat than the one and a half pound I turned down - not enough for my guests and I. Had I gotten a roast closer to 4lbs, I would've been unhappy with the price but not enough to write a review. Additionally, they only charged a dollar less for bone in. At $15/lb, I effectively paid the price of their beef for the meat after accounting for the bone. I felt tricked. In hindsight, I should've just turned it down when I saw the price, but I was a bit too shocked to say anything. So I paid my bill and swore that I wouldn't be coming back for anything but (maybe) sausage again.
