Our Brisket fell thru for the Holiday Dinner. We tried several grocery stores with no luck at all…read more Yelp helped me find The Cut so I called. The Owner, Alex, answered and gave me some great information-- most importantly that he DID have a Brisket and he COULD accommodate our request. Whew!!! When I arrived, Alex showed me the meat and discussed with me the options for trimming off the fat and trimming it down to the size I desired. Alex's staff -- both the store personnel and the actual butchers -- were all friendly and helpful. Alex gave me a tour of the store and I bought a bunch of cheese, dried fruit, etc., while I was waiting for my USDA Prime Brisket to be ready! Such a nice store! Such nice people! Not the least expensive cut of meat I have ever bought ... but WOW!!! The meat cooked perfectly!!! This was literally the single BEST brisket I have ever eaten (and I have eaten a LOT of brisket in my life!)! I have subsequently heard from other people in the area that The Cut is well known for selling top quality meats. I look forward to going back for more soon! I strongly recommend The Cut Butchery for all your meat (and fish!) needs!

Welcome to Hollin Hall, The Cut!…read more This old-school butcher shop just had their grand opening and they offer fresh meats, such as beef, pork, lamb, poultry and other provisions. We were looking for steaks, particularly ribeyes and filet mignons; the meats look fresh and well-marbled, and I like how they partner with local farms! Staff were friendly, and there was plenty of parking available.

It reminded me very strongly of a bright new HMart. Fresh fruit and veggies galore. I found Noh's seasoning packets there that I have not been able to find in HMart for years, and also identified numerous Asian food items that generally make HMart a go-to grocery store for me. Clean, organized, well-stocked. I'm thinking I may change my shopping habits a little and start checking out these Fresh World stores when I'm near one. This location is a winner.

Food selection is a great variety ranging from Asian to Latino with the basics in between.

Great Seafood & fresh meat selections, enough to suit most tastes Prices are in-line with area, like anywhere else you have to shop around. So far my wife has found what she was looking for which beats driving to Annandale. The Food-Court has two (that we tried) that were delicious and reasonably priced.

I like the fat chips it's served with, my sister prefers the macaroni and we both love the pickle. My mouth is watering right now. Plenty more choices and desserts.

So I only purchased two products for my immune system that totaled to almost $50. After, reaching home I noticed one bottle revealed an expired date. Day two, I returned the outdated product back to Makola Market. I told the male cashier that I purchased an outdated product. The cashier looked angry, snatched the bag, and said nothing. Then he angrily said "Put your card in." I thanked him and left. That was an odd experience. I would think I would be treated better for purchasing their products. The worst experience ever! This store really don't deserve any stars, but I have to give them at least one.

Cow hooves the size of a human head, chicken feet looking ascetic in comparison and a smell both…read moreattractive and repellent -- that's what I found at this international food store. It was our last stop along this strip mall around the world, and I wanted to go in where the umber pungency of salted sea creatures beckoned. Eagerly, I dove in, surrounded by Africans chattering and provisioning. We walked past the neon bright refrigerated shelves, where the doors were open -- as I urgently passed by, the stoned eyes of the dried whole fish seemed to brighten. Quickly, I said, let's take a tour of the whole store, both aisles. In the back was a butcher with many feet in the counter. I can't remember the others as I mostly registered how big and CLEAN (that butcher is one heck of a pedicurist) the cow's hooves were. And I thought of how long they would have to cook in some delicious peanut sauce from West Africa, maybe Ghana (where the Makola moniker comes from?). I regret to say that we did not buy anything on this first scouting mission. But I'll go back and investigate further. So, if you need to know where to get hooves and such, now you know. I like knowing that it's possible.

Please don't take this gem away! I drove over 30 minutes to find this hidden gem and it was worth…read morethe time. I was able to find almost everything I was looking for.

They have all of the local favorites that us DMVers grew up on, including 2 Liter Rock Creek sodas in various flavors, the big huge donuts (where you only need one), the frozen shrimp in the little freezer right outside of the deli, and a nice selection of international foods. This visit really brought back memories. I hope they don't close this one!

There's also Divina stuffed olives, which are a household favorite. Another new thing is in-store vegetable share pickup. We haven't tried because we already have a CSA share, but it sounds like a great deal. There's also fresh baked bread now. It's been great watching the number of products increase. We used to to come here only for our specialty purchases like a harder to find dog food brands or the great River Sea chocolates. But due to expanding stock, we're slowly switching to a Nature's Nibbles as our primary grocery go-to, and supplementing from other stores for items they don't carry. The most recent additions to what's available- saw a sign this past week, are beer and wine!

Even the pupusa famila was bad. Very large! Filled a small pizza box. But no discernable stuffing except for cheese..i mean there were different colors sometimes but not enough to give you a new flavor on that bite. The slaw and tomato juice were generous and not terrible.
