We ordered some beef and it was absolutely delicious.
The absolute best quality meat in the county!! I've bought ground beef and bison but they've got every cut of meat, even the less popular but more delicious cuts like tongue...
I started driving over a few months ago to get some buffalo ribeye steaks for NYE. Since then I spot by as often as I can. They are always so kind and helpful.
Very nice. Will go again. Mon-fri.
