So much to love in this store! It offers everything from A to Z, including meat. Real meat. Tasty…read moremeat. And fresh farm eggs, too. Gifts for all ages, home decor, soap, candles, kitchen towels, hair clips, toys, cooking utensils, just to name a few of the items. Many of the items are hand crafted by talented people in the Crawford County area. The store is easy to find on the square across from the courthouse. Parking is free. Exit the highway and check it out. This is a small family-owned business. Be kind and pay cash, if you can.

This review is for the meat. The store is very nice, but I'm a cook, so my interest is I. The…read morefreezers at the front of the shop. I've purchased several ribeyes a couple of fillets, pork chops, stew meat, ground beef, breakfast sausage and both pork and beef brauts. As far as the steaks and chops go, they have been EXCELLENT every single time. Most people are use to grocery store beef which is corn fed. The Painted Barrels beef and pork are family raised and pasture fed locally, and the freshness just stands out! I've never had anything that wasn't perfectly tender and flavorful. The meats always cook nicely both on the grill and in a pan. The sausages are far more flavorful than anything you can buy from corporation, and you can REALLY taste the freshness in the ground beef. The meat is very fairly priced for the exceptional quality, and in my opinion, very reasonable. Can you find cheaper meat out there? Yes... but life's too short to eat Walmart steak, and why not support a small business? It is my plan to start buying pretty much all my beef and pork from Painted Barrels.

A good little small town Italian shop. The sausage has an authentic flavor. The stuffed shells and…read moremanicotti were some of the best we have found in quite awhile. The paninis were large and were very good, and meaty. The make for a great lunch while on the road. I highly recommend this place, it kind of off the beaten path, but worth the detour.

The business card refers to this business as Pallucca's Italian Meat Market and Catering. I would…read moreclassify it as a deli instead of a grocery. I've been confused about this business since news of the grocery store closing a few years ago. If you just drive by on Frontenac's main drag, it looks like the business is still closed. But on the west side of the building is the new entrance. It seems they just blocked off the front part of the store to save on utilities. The heart of the business is the meat counter, for which Pallucca's was always famous. You'll still find Pallucca's famous sausage. I was pleased to find the three types of italian cold cuts that I use to make muffalettas - which I'd previously only found at Tulsa's Fresh Market. There are lots of italian specialties, including several varieties of ravioli and homemade spaghetti sauce. They also carry the famed Frontenac Bakery bread. Also in in the meat counter are ready-made deli sandwiches (featuring fresh artisan bread) and salads. We really liked the cuban sandwich, which was big enough for two people. They grilled it in a panini press, which made it better than imagined. There are tables for dining in, and there and bottled soft drinks. Lunch specials are offered from 11 - 1 Monday thru Friday. Normal hours are 9-6 Monday thru Saturday, closed Sunday.

I was pleased to find a fantastic mix of high and low here, and all at affordable prices. Very nice booths and absolutely none of them filled with "junk" stock.

It's that good. Seriously. VERY clean and well organized thrift store and what they sometimes lack in selection is more than made up for by the friendly service and low prices. I have never walked out of here empty handed and have shopped here on and off since I was a teenager (20 years ago). It is a well run store and the larger stores and secondhand chains could take a lot of tips from them, to be honest! When you walk in there's a dry erase board posted straight ahead with the day's sales on it and they are always a very good variety and offer extra value. I highly recommend this place. It is not hard to find, either. Just a block east of Broadway and a block west of St. Mary's Colgan school in downtown Pittsburg.

The owner has written a book about Girard and what life was like growing up there. I found it to be an interesting read because I visited Girard as a child to visit my grandma, aunts, uncles, and cousins. Ask about consignment sales for those things you want to part with but need a nice place to sell them. Stop by the homemade ice cream counter in the corner of the store and enjoy a yummy treat. I was there one day when the high school baseball team stopped in for some ice cream. Such nice young men enjoying their time together. Another time a group of teenagers were sitting on the front porch visiting. Such a refreshing sight to see no phones, just conversation! Check-out the bathroom walls! This is a store for all ages. A place for learning, reminiscing, and to purchase those things you have been seeking for a long time. It's a small business so cash is always appreciated. Located on the Girard square across from the courthouse. Parking is free right at the front door. There is also a ramp for easy access. Inventory is constantly changing so stop in often!
