| - SOOOOO disappointed! After reading good reviews on other sites, I decided to stop in to give a local business some love. I was looking for two things; A) 1&1/2 inch thick bone in pork chops- I was told "no, we only get those at the holidays" and B) Veal chops- I was told, "we don't carry those, they're too expensive". I asked if I could ORDER them, I was told "no". From the look of their meat case there was absolutely NOTHING "special" that would make me want to go there, prices were higher than local grocery stores, the whole chickens looked anorexic. I thought some of the meat actually looked old and dry in the tiny case. The place was poorly lighted and not the cleanest, had an odd dried blood smell, I would have loved to have a look on the service side of that meat case. Service by the counter attendant (older female) was curt and the owner never even looked up at me. I gave them one star because I bought a pack of "Hot Sticks" (meat sticks) out of pity, and they were pretty good, not the least bit "hot", but good flavor/texture; Dave's Meats in Valencia and Mish Farms in Gibsonia have MUCH better sticks. I like to support local businesses, I just don't see any reason to stop here again, what a shame. I'm not sure how they manage to stay in business, perhaps relying on an older, local clientele who don't drive...I honestly WANTED to love this place...being only 1 1/2 miles from my home, it would have been GREAT to have an awesome local butcher/meat shop where I could get the special cuts I like to cook. I would have given them 2 stars for effort had the service been even slightly better, this place was a HUGE fail.
