Poor double smoke ham. Bought a whole ham for Easter. I have bought from Von Hanson's before…read more It was very salty from being saturated with brine, not firm as in the past, fatty and little flavor for double smoke. The counter help was not trained, could not operate the saw to cut in half and it was wrapped like a child would wrap. I think the meat market, is becoming no more than an ordinary store. Still looks like a wonderful meat market, need to back it up with service and meat quality.

These peeps in white aprons are dedicated to quality. Walk into the family-owned store with a…read moreclear nasal passageway and you'll be delighted: the smell of seasonings is incredible. If you're grilling out, this place guarantees it'll make the experience well worth it, *especially* if you're entertaining guests. From brats to steaks, they'll help you figure out what you want to bring home. Plus, if marinades and whatnot intimidate you, there's a sweet selection of pre-rubbed chops/breasts/roasts/etc. It costs a bit more than buying the economy bag of brick-hard frozen chicken at Cub, but let's put it this way: if you want to keep small business in business, and you want amazing/real/THICK meat, you gotta put up the cash for it and be happy about it.

This kind of business that would purposefully sell rancid meat to its customers should be…read moreboycotted. Yesterday, my BF bought a rancid piece of meat from Von Hansen's in Chanhassen. They purposely sold it to us, because they kept smelling it going in the back then getting the Manager, then smelling it, and then going in the back, then they told him that it was fine, then sold it to him with the excuse that Pork "always" smells bad (which is a lie). My poor boyfriend smoked it today, spending his whole day off on the project, and it still stinks and tastes rotten. It stunk up our house with a sour smell. When we called the store, a disrespectful and unprofessional butcher named Jeff started mansplaining me about how all pork smells like that--which, of course, it doesn't--and would not let me get a word in edgewise, defensively raising his voice and being a jerk. Of course, I have cooked pork my entire life and never come across this kind of stink before. DO NOT BUY MEAT FROM THIS STORE. THEY WILL SELL YOU ROTTEN MEAT JUST TO TAKE YOUR MONEY AND THEN WON'T TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR HAVING DONE SO!! Their response was rude, insulting, and unapologetic. My poor boyfriend feels totally taken advantage of by this business.

They have a deli, vast meat selection, and hot food to order! They also have lunch specials so there's really never a bad time to come. Everyone who works here is so friendly, willing to offer help, suggestions, and food pairings. There is a small seating area inside but tables available on the front porch as well! Every visit here for us is a treat, but there are a few items that are consistently at the top of our list. I am absolutely obsessed with their pickle roll-up pasta salad. It's uniquely delicious and has that perfect tangy, savory balance that keeps me coming back for more. Their honey dill smoked salmon is another personal favorite; it's incredibly tender with a beautiful smoky flavor and just the right hint of sweet honey and dill. My husband is equally in love with their maple glaze smoked salmon - it's sweet, rich, and perfectly smoked. And for a quick, satisfying snack, his go-to is always their turkey jerky, which is packed with flavor. Beyond the specialty items, their fresh meats are simply unmatched! We've bought many of their steaks, and they are consistently fantastic (highly recommend their NY strips and tomahawks when you feel fancy). No matter how we grill them, they always turn out incredibly moist and juicy. But the real star in the grilling department I think might just be their brats. Seriously, the casing on these brats is perfection - it crisps up beautifully on the grill, creating that satisfying snap with every bite. I've tried brats from so many places, and none come close to the crispiness and flavor of theirs. The quality, flavor, and unique selection here truly make it a standout. This isn't just a butcher shop; it's honestly a culinary destination! A definite must-visit for anyone who appreciates top-notch meats and delicious prepared foods.

Clancy's has great sandwiches and supports the community with big hearts and concern. At lunch,…read morethere can be a mad rush for their classic roast beef sandwich, but the staff handles the crowd with efficiency and detail. I was on the street in front of Clancy's when one of their customers was mis-identified as an officer of an organization that was terrorizing Minneapolis. It had nothing to do with Clancy's! As I tried to get to my car, people yelled the most obscene and disgusting epitaphs at the couple in front of me. I was just walking down Grand Avenue. They were even spitting at this innocent individual. As a liberal who marched for civil rights and against the war in Vietnam during the 1960s and 1970s, I was horrified. Blaming Clancy's is ignorant, and an integral part of how this country is dismantling. Clancy's Meats & Fish is important to our neighborhood, and represents the kindness and empathy that has been representative of Minnesota for decades. Give them your support.

I read about Clancey's and we decided to give it a try for lunch. There are two parts to…read moreClancey's. On one side is a meat market with a variety of cuts of steaks, lamb, and other meats, which all looked fresh and quite nice. They also have a variety of items such as canned goods, pasta, eggs, etc. on the shelves opposite the meat counter. The entire place is quite sunny, pleasant, and cozy. On the other side is the eat-in, take-out deli sandwiches, that are made to order. The quality of the ingredients is excellent. The bread is freshly made (crispy baguette type) and you have a choice of Roast Beef, Roast Turkey, Tuna Salad, Smoked Ham, or Corned Beef. All sandwiches are $16.50 each (including tax) and come with a choice of mayonnaise, spicy stone ground mustard, red leaf lettuce, thin sliced red onion, salt, pepper, oil, vinegar, raw grated horseradish, pickled jalapeno, and roasted bell pepper. The default includes all toppings so if you don't want everything, be sure to specify what you do NOT want. Surprisingly, they do not carry any diet soda, nor do they stock any national brands (only local pop). There is a large menu on the wall, and you order at the counter and pick up the order (no table service). The food was attractively presented, and very, very good. My only gripe (besides the lack of diet pop) is that it's on the expensive side for lunch. Two sandwiches, a couple of bags of chips, and a couple of cans of pop will easily top $40, although I'd say the quality is top-notch.

It's gives off a modern whiskey house/southern rustic vibe. Plenty of indoor seating and a cute patio with an indoor/outdoor bar top. I have eaten here 3 times in the past few months and my experience has been the same each time, wonderful! My two favorite meals are the Smoked Chicken Wings and The Pile sandwich. The chicken wings: I'm the type to always sauce up any wing I get. Pig Stuff's wings will come out dry rubbed with your sauce in the side. At first I was hesitant but now I know why! Their dry rub is fantastic! The flavors are Smokey, savory, and salty - easily eaten on their own. The meat is very juicy and falls off of the bone! (8.5/10) The Pile: this is a sandwich consisting of brisket, pulled pork, Mac & cheese, and coleslaw. It's a monster of a sandwich and could definitely make a mess but OMG it is tasty! The sandwich comes with BQQ sauce, but who needs it when you have the juiciness of the pork, smokiness of the brisket, creaminess of the Mac & cheese, and the tang of coleslaw! It's almost hard not to finish this sandwich. (9/10) Another favorite are their fries. Fresh, crispy, and well seasoned. You can also get them as garlic parm fries where they drizzle their wing sauce across the top - YUM. (8/10) Lastly, the service here has always been impeccable. You're greeted with a smile by everyone. I have yet to meet a server or bartender that wasnt engaging. Looking forward to coming back around!
