Great selection of beef jerky. I'm visiting from our of town, I enjoyed the store. The cashier looked at me like I was from another planet... Wish there was some exotic meat that was easy to travel with, but it was cool. If visiting again, id stop and check it out again.

We came for the hardware store which had the part we needed that Ace hardware didn't have. We were impressed with the grocery store's wall of beef jerky, also the marinated chicken breast or thigh flavors. The staff was impressive also

Like stepping back in time (in a good way). A truly unique small home town feel. Excellent store. Excellent meat.
