I'm a sucker for old style delis - and Avril delivers. Their meats are par excellence, their soups might not curry favor with your cardiologist but your mouth will thank you.

Visiting the store always brings back memories of going with my grandma to pick up our weekly meat order. The ambiance is still the same. They always had fresh fruit and vegetables. Everything was and is still locally sourced. I highly recommend going here for all of your meat and vegetables. Don't forget to try the goetta. It's the best in the Tri-State hands down.

I've participated in the Goetta Fest put on by another producer. I love this stuff. Is it super healthy?? No. Is it delicious gift from heaven? Why, YES. So any time I come up to the area I try somewhere that makes goetta. This was a nice neighborhood meat market that makes their own so i had to try it. It was pretty good. They do make it WITHOUT MSG, so if that stuff gives you a headache or if you have to watch your salt intake, they have an option for you! I bought a goetta, egg, and cheese sandwich and it was tasty. If I was nearby, I'd try it again. I also took a few pounds home and cooked it over the next week. Now, back to my search for goetta and on to the next butcher shop! ;)

I usually get my steaks at the Kroger meat counter but wanted to see if going to a butcher was worth the extra effort. I stopped at Kroger on the way home for some other groceries and saw that they happened to have angus NY strips on sale for less than the BFM price. I sorta had buyers remorse but crossed my fingers and hoped it would be that much better of a cut. It was. The steaks from BFM blew the Kroger steaks out of the water. It wasn't even close. Don't get me wrong, the Kroger steaks are fine. But BFM's we're just that much better. Like, obviously more tender and even just had a better all around meaty flavor. Definitely worth the trip and the extra money.

Based on reviews here I went to BFM. I was sad to learn they no longer do the fish sandwich. They…read moredo offer deli sandwiches, some hot (Italian sub, barbecue...). The person manning the drive thru was a part owner and very helpful. My pork BBQ sandwich was definitely house-made and as promised-smokier than sweet (the beef would have been the reverse). It was definitely the best drive-thru BBQ I've had with a generous amount of meat. The cole slaw was pretty classic; a little sweeter than I'd have preferred but still good. With a bag of chips it was a bit over $10 which seems to be market rate. Very filling. Next time I will order the mac & cheese as a side. And next time I'll go in. In addition to basic butcher shop fare, they also have ready made items (think Salisbury Steak, etc...) AND they also have a produce store with fresh fruit salad and a wine shop attached. This place is unique!

They are one of the few that have them in larger quantities (25) and they are plump and fat. IMO any sausage not in the natural casing is garbage. The best part is when you take the first bite and it pops off the grill. SO SO GOOD! Be warned though - I prefer really spicy food. These metts are actually spicy which I LOVE. However most people at parties can not handle the heat, opt for the regular mett pack instead. Crowd pleaser and you will be the coolest kid at the party. Mackie Meats rules!

I ordered a Goetta egg and cheese sandwich. It was only like $6.00. Took about 5 minutes to make. I ate it right there on the counter in the shop. How was it? BOMB! This sandwich was great! Nice soft, yet sturdy bun, a fried egg, slice of cheese, and a nice square patty of Goetta. It was piping hot, and I enjoyed every bite. The Goetta was meaty, crumbly, and had a great flavor and texture! If I was not eating elsewhere in the market, I could have easily put down another sandwich, or two! One of the best breakfast sandwiches I can recall ever having! Will definitely come back if I am ever near Cincinnati again.

We were headed somewhere else for lunch, but that establishment was closed for a vacation week. Decided to drive down the street into Dayton to check out Rump & Roll.

We ate in, there are a few tables to dine inside, it was late afternoon , so there was only one other table occupied, it was quiet and cozy. We had the Roast Beef and caramelized onion sandwich, and the House Roasted Turkey Club, along with Tomato soup and Chicken gnocchi soup. Everything was layered with flavor and incredibly delicious. Tavis is the epitome of hospitality, offering taste samples of the various sides available, and answering all of our questions with enthusiasm and enjoyable conversation. We also purchased some of his house ground beef and also goetta. And will have to share an update soon! We'll be back .....and talking Rump and Roll up to all of our friends!

Some of their token products include Deli Meats, Goetta, Sausage, Metts, Hot Metts, Bratwurst, Hot Dogs, Sausage, and Cottage Ham. They stick to beef and pork products. My favorite items are their Goetta, and their smoked hot cheese sausage. The meats are quality and have great flavor! Prices are reasonable! As an added bonus these guys are very active on social media and one of my favorite things is their recipes. They frequently post new and creative ways to use their products, created by one of their staff members! I have personally tried some of these recipes and they are amazing! I hear this is also a great place to work... with many lunch time perks (no joke). Got to support those great local businesses that take great care of their staff and care about the community they operate in!

Granite BH started out with a bang and I still savor the Braunschweiger (or however it is spelled). But BH has since cheapened their products I think. One thing for sure the Bologna took a dive!!! Back to Queen City... QC ONLY uses top quality meats. I cannot tell you how I know this, but IT IS FACT! Elmer the owner is a grumpy old man but never bowed to industry standards to cheapen the products he makes in order to make more money at the consumer s expense. No MSC, No Soy, No added Fats that can be labeled as meat big industry, No crapy meat, No imported meat. I true old-fashioned style and standard. Ham is nearly impossible to find, Lunchmeats are limited but can be found at a few Kroger s, Meijers, Remke Biggs, Metts Most anywhere in the area. Try the Metts and you will taste the quality and care put into making them!!! I received nothing in return for writing this review. Just want people to realize what QC has to offer. If only the products were more readily available.
