i don't even know where to start with old time meat and deli because i have too many good things to say about it.
absolutely delicious cuts of all sorts of meat? check.
employees who are helpful and actually know everything about their products? check.
the best yeast rolls i have ever found anywhere? check.
fresh bones for my dogs to chomp on? check.
and the list goes on.....
this is the only place in all of central illinois i will buy meat from. they get their meats and rolls (not deli meat) from local amish communities, and it is obvious that they take great pride in all that they sell. every cut of meat i have had from here, whether it be ground chuck, a pork chop, spiral ham or rib-roast, has been absolutely amazing. and their bacon is to die for. the best bacon i have ever had. i'm drooling just thinking about it. yum.
if you think you've been buying great cuts of meat from a grocery store in the c-u area, i will tell you you haven't and that it's time you visit old time and see what a quality piece of meat tastes like. you will never be disappointed.
