6/2026 we received our first ever pork chop order from Amana Meat & Smokehouse. We have been long…read moretime customers and have NEVER been disappointed with any order or item. We have lived in SoCal, Connecticut, Michigan and now W. Texas and Amana has shipped 2 day shipping w/ice paks to all our addresses and never a spoiled item to date. Now, I'm honest and fair with ALL my reviews so I will say the 2 day shipping is on the higher side, around $32.00+- for our cross country shipping. Your $hipping may be less, may be more, it just depends on your .delivery location. We have not visited their retail shop simply because we haven't lived in their area. Our pork chops arrived individually wrapped and with Amana's own Horseradish sauce. This evening we had pork chops for dinner and I must say the BEST flavored pork chops ever! Each pork chop is bone in and about 3/4" thick. I highly recommend Amana Meat Shop & Smokehouse. BTW, our favorite are the breaded pork tenderloins.

The ONLY down side I've seen here is that they aren't open on Saturdays. Usually we are talking about grilling or having an event last minute on Saturday and we can't get meat!

This place is just wonderful! If you are looking for…read moresomething local, organic, sugar free, low carb, grass fed, free range or preservative free, they probably have it at New Pi! Honestly, I come here specifically for my Vital Farms eggs but always end up walking around for an hour looking at everything. They have a little bit of everything here! I follow a keto lifestyle and I can find Prymal Kitchen sauces and lily's chocolate chips and peanut butter cups at this store. The prices are really not any higher than you might expect from specialty items and I truly do believe that you get exactly what you pay for. On top of all this goodness, the staff are just wonderful. If you have a question, they have an answer and will help you with anything! Last time I visited, I needed to know the nutrition facts for the on tap kombucha that they were serving. I asked a young lady and she helped me without hesitation. They also have fresh cold brew on tap as well! How fun is that?! If you want to go on a fun little adventure, head to New Pi Co-Op in Cedar Rapids! You are bound to find something that you never knew you needed!

When one thinks of a butcher in small town America, you would be thinking of this place. So clean that they must be the poster child of USDA approval. Their beef is the best in the area, that is including our neghbors in the Amanas. Whenever we need a custom cut of cow they are courteous and informative. I would drive form Iowa City just to buy a prime rib roast from these guys, their bacon is not too bad either.

The steak was cooked fresh in front of me and you know it's good when it takes them a little bit to fulfill your order. Super nice guy who took our order at the front. Also got some friends because yknow, why not? Fries were also nice and crispy. Ambiance was nice- just what I would expect from a food stand. Only thing is I wish my food had more veggies, since it was 90% cheesesteak, but maybe that was intentional. Would highly recommend if you're craving a nice Philly cheesesteak!

The brisket was perfectly cooked: incredibly tender, juicy, and packed with natural flavor. What really stood out was the seasoning. It enhanced the meat without overpowering it, allowing the rich, smoky beef flavor to shine through with every bite. The customer service was just as impressive. Everyone was genuinely friendly, welcoming, and attentive, making the entire experience even more memorable. Outstanding food paired with exceptional hospitality is a rare combination - a gem hidden in Cedar Rapids. Highly recommend the place if you're ever in town.
