I bought some smokies and beef sticks on October 15th. After eating a few, I experienced stomach issues later in the day. I was back to normal in a day. Ate more a few days later and experienced the same stomach issues again.
I purchased 2 precooked stuffed cabbage today. The meat was excellent inside however the cabbage was very undercooked and tough. It was extremely difficult to cut and chew. If it would have been cooked in the oven longer, it would have become tender. Please consider this.
Absolutely the rudest employees, one in particular, who seemed to be the manager today. Walked in with a child, was immediately yelled at from behind the counter towards the back of the place, multiple times to get back outside! , I can only have 5 people in here at a time! in an angry, demanding voice and demeanor. Like it was somehow our fault that we were patrons walking into the place. Overweight male, seemed like he hated life, stuck working in a meat shop his whole life. Very embarrassing to be yelled at in front of WAY more than 5 people who were already inside waiting in line. We complied and walked out.....forever! Could 've simply had somebody working at the door regulating the amount of people coming in and out due to the Covid rules, and politely asking patrons to wait outside until there was room. But no, these animals are too understaffed and are more focused on scamming the public (see more below) and getting their anger out on people who are coming in to make them work more. This place just lost many years of business from a very large family and friend circle who 've shopped there for many years, just like that. They obviously do not care about respecting other human beings, even children, who just wanted to get some food..... like we were lucky to be in their presence and to shop in their store. Absolutely disgusting! Don 't waste you 're time here as you can go elsewhere for the same type of meats. Avoid the disgruntled middle-aged minimum wage worker with no future or human friends outside of Mom 's basement. After looking at other reviews on them online, lots of others have said the same thing as I have regarding their extremely rude employees, as well as them scamming customers with a false reading scale. This should say enough about this operation alone! Please don 't fall victim to them like we did, STAY AWAY! And they were FAR from following any social distancing or County regulations. Health department is also notified and they already knew this place well. That raises more flags right there!
This restaurant is a great spot for purchasing steaks. When you cook them at home, they taste even better than what you would pay double the price for in a restaurant. Plus, you get to relax and enjoy them in the comfort of your own home. Check out this picture of their delicious bacon.
Yesterday, I visited this restaurant with a friend just to check it out and was blown away by the amazing selection of food options. The staff was also fantastic, especially the two ladies and young man working at 3pm on 4.22.21. I can't wait to come back for more delicious treats, including treats for dogs. This place definitely deserves a 5 out of 5 rating. - TJ RGM Swensoms Seven Hills
