We stopped here on a road trip...it's a bit hidden location wise but good grief...I'd legit trek through a forest on foot to get that sandwich (club with added bacon) again. The bread was so soft, the sauce (not clear what it was, I'll just call it delicious), the meat...just bangin. This may be one of the best finds in Kentucky, stop and get that bacon! read more

This was the best BLT of our life! I love all of Broadbent's bacon but the pepper bacon is next level. The sandwich was perfect on white bread, lettuce and tomato with the secret ingredient - spicy mayo. Can't wait to try the fried bologna sandwich next time we drive by. read more

I have been ordering from Broadbent for several years now and I have been pleased with everything that I have received. I have shared with a few neighbors who have enjoyed the good country flavor. I highly recommend Broadbent. read more

Love Broadbent ham and bacon! This shop smells amazing as soon as you walk in - like fresh ham. Lots of options and gifts too. The staff was very knowledgeable and helpful. read more

Best ham sandwich I've had in awhile. Found this on our way home from Georgia visiting family. We were here shortly after Thanksgiving and bought a ham for Christmas which was very delicious!!! We bought bacon, ham and ham hocks. They were great. Also the best caramel pecan apple butter. Yum! Sorry it took so long to write this review. read more

Always stop for ham packaged to go. Meal slices and precut for biscuits. Nice selection of gift items if you need. Will make sandwiches if hungry. Lovely lady waited on us. read more

I ordered the slab bacon and the 3 rolls of sausage it arrived in 2 days tried it all that day all was delicious would highly recommend. Will be ordering again. read more

Breakfast here is spectacular - don't expect sit down service, though...this is a place where you pick up ham on a yeast roll to go (or you can sit at one of their cafe tables). You've never eaten a more divine breakfast sandwich. If you are especially hungry, get two. If not, one is enough. Prices are inexpensive. The gift store is adorable and the perfect place to stop in and pick up specialty foods and Kentucky-oriented gifts. read more

Outstanding! Love the food. Love the store. Love the people. Love the sandwiches. Love the whole vibe of this place. It always out a smile on my face coming through here! Sweet & Sassy sandwich is a slice of heaven on earth. read more

Been by this place. Hundred times and dream of bacon for days afterwards. Well today while getting fuel in my truck the hickory smoke smell was just to much! I had to check it out... nice little place with some Country gifts and a good selection of their ham bacon and sausages. Along with some cheeses. I purchased a cured ham some bacon and sausage and got a club sandwich to go. The girls were very friendly.... and the ham and turkey club? It was dynamite! read more

Broadbent B & B Foods - Turkey ham club... delish! - Meat Shops Near Me - Kuttawa, Kentucky

Their bacon doesnt taste or smell all that great (regular grocery store bacon is way better) and normally I save bacon fat, but I dump their bacon fat because I don't trust whatever chemicals they put into it - their bacon seems to be treated with some film or chemical as it looks glossy. And they dont even give you a pound package - its 14 oz - so they chisel you out of 2 ounces of meat. So cheap! So tired of companies charging more and giving less. Pretty soon their substandard bacon will be reduced to 12 oz packages, yet they'll be charging the same, if not more, I'm sure! read more

So far, I am not happy with this company. I placed an order on Tuesday. When I received no notification of shipment, I emailed and was told that because of my distance from their location, they would ship the following Monday to allow the meat to be delivered by the week end. Monday came and went. I got an email on Tuesday, saying my order had shipped. UPS tracking promised delivery by 9:30 PM Friday. Okay. This next bit is going to be a blast at UPS. Friday came and went without a delivery. Checking the tracking showed the date had been changed to Monday 5/11, but the package was on a truck Saturday morning. Called Broadbent Friday night and left a message, The recorded voice said my call would be returned the next business day, which was Saturday, according to them. No phone call Saturday. So now I'm looking at meat that will have been in transit for a week by the time it should get to me. Even though Broadbent's said they held up my shipment to avoid that very thing. I just got off the phone with someone there, who called me. Very unprofessional phone manner, btw. When I answered the phone, she was laughing and conversing with someone else, presumably a coworker. she assured me the meat would be fine. It is okay for up to 10 days without refrigeration. Then why the big stink about not wanting it to be in transit more than 3-4 days? And why do I need to pay extra shipping costs because of it? This better be some amazing sausage, y'all. Now 5/12. The package arrived last night at 8:56 PM. Inside were two mushy packages with the words KEEP REFRIGERATED on them. Also in the box was a slip of paper telling me not to be alarmed if the meat is warm, it is safe outside refrigeration for 10 days. I really don't know if that applies to riding around in a UPS truck for 4 days in the triple digit AZ heat, though. I have sent them an email asking for clarification. read more

We just happened to see their sign on the highway as we were traveling. Did a quick google and decided we needed to check them out! Got a ham and cheese sandwich with a side of potato salad to go. Also picked up some bacon and country ham. Drove to the gas station in front if their location. I ate half of the sandwich and potato salad. We then drove to the back of the gas station parking lot. I walked them the grass back to Broadbent so I could get a couple of pieces of the ham and a container of the potato salad!! Their food was wonderful and can't wait to try the bacon when we get back home! read more

The products at Broadbent are fantastic and the staff is very helpful. I am not a country ham fan but their Sweet and Sassy sandwich is wonderful. For those who complain about the country ham being salty. You have to soak it before you fry it and my mother always fried it in an iron skillet with nothing but water. I love their honey mustard, relishes, jams and jellies. read more

Broadbent responded about my concerns and refunded my money. I was not wanting a refund but they were concerned about my review and will make sure their products are of good quality going forward. Since I have ordered their hickory bacon before I will order again and see if is as good as it was in the past. No one is perfect and so I am updating my review to 4 stars. read more

I grew up around this store if you want a great breakfast ask for 1/2 sausage biscuits with cheese and an apple slice. The one star reviews on here are because of the ham. Ky country ham is salty. Wash it thoroughly with water, you can also soak it in milk. They're pepper bacon isn't for everyone if you aren't known for picking up a salt shaker at every meal get the maple bacon. As for soured ham every year is different, humidity, temperature outside, and many other things go into account. I've had hams last 4 years and hams that lasted 2. Rule of thumb, if it's not slice and you don't want to scrub or slice mold off (Which is like cheese mold harmless) than eat it within 2-8 months read more

We stopped by hungry and tired and left full and refreshed. 2 kids and 2 adults on a long day of driving. Let me tell you they were so nice. So nice. And by the way; they were so nice. My 6 year old was melting down and the very kind lady helped him find just what he wanted for lunch - a grilled cheese sandwich. She was a lifesaver. And he ate every bite. We all had great sandwiches - the smoked turkey; the city ham; the chicken salad (ice cold, chunky chicken, and slightly sweet on a croissant - so good). read more

This place is a true diamond in the rough & I just mean that it is slightly hidden in Kuttawa. The made to order sandwiches are fresh & yummy. My husband & I stopped before getting on I24 on our way out of town for the weekend. I got a half smoked turkey sandwich in sourdough bread with hips & my husband got a half sweet & sassy ham sandwich with pretzels. Half a sandwich was plenty for us! Part of the charm of Broadbent's is taking a look around the store while your order is being freshly made. They have one of a kind gifts as well as different perishable and non perishable items. Look for this diamond!! read more

place was clean and cute and we purchased some ham and bacon to take home. it was so salty we could talk ear it and ended up throwing get it all away. not sure this is represented of all Kentucky hams being salty but if so we wouldn't be buying ham ever again. the bacon was salty and very chewy and tough. we won't be returning and only reason I'm giving it 2 stars is because was cute and clean read more

I purchased some packages of country ham slices and peppered bacon to fix when we arrived home. I opened the first package of ham and it smelled soured. I tried the other packages of country ham and the bacon and ended up throwing it all away. The smell was so bad I couldn't cook it! My family loves country ham but we will stick with purchasing it at our local grocery. read more

I want to be very fair with these people. I am sure that there is a very good reason why they've won the Grand Champion Award 16 times at the Kentucky State Fair for their country hams, but I have no idea what that reason is. I have had some terrific hams (probably sugar-cured) from Kentucky and was expecting this to be the same. In retrospect, I was duly warned by a Tennessee-born friend that country ham is an acquired taste. In addition, the catalog clearly states that the hams are salt-cured, and refunds will not be given for perceived saltiness. I have never lived in the South, and am a California guy, although I did at one time manage for Church's Chicken (love that stuff). Yet I stubbornly ordered an entire ham from these folks and received it a few days ago. This morning, I decided to crack open a vacuum pack and fry up a few steaks for breakfast. I trimmed off the rind, leaving as much fat on the edge as possible, and fried the steaks in butter. Put simply, the stench is horrible, both before cooking and after. The ham tasted (and smelled) like the inside of Forrest Gump's Nikes, and the whole house still reeks hours later. Customer service, in this instance, was spotty but cheerful. My name was misspelled, so they had a hard time finding my order when I called for a tracking number. Also, I ordered country sausage with the ham, but it was not in the box. A quick phone call, and they promised to send it out ASAP. At the time, I asked for an email with the new tracking number. Never got it. They were pleasant as could be, however, even if a few things were missed. Maybe I did something wrong, but it's hard for me to believe that frying the ham in butter could result in such a noxious product. As I said, it smelled pretty bad just by opening the vacuum pack. City folk, be warned! read more

Award winning hams and bacon that are served in some of the top restaurants (think Momofoku) in NY and CA. Huge assortment of giftwares. Have a sandwich while you are there - the portions are HUGE and everything is made fresh. read more

Best country ham in the world! I just got a few packs of biscuit slices. Shipping was fast, and the ham is already eaten.

Great products! They even ship to me in Alaska or I stop by when I am back home in Kentucky. It's always a good day when I receive a Broadbent's box in the mail. Ham, bacon, or side items; I recommend them all. read more

Received this mail order ham for my birthday. Was really looking forward to it as they are not sold locally in Hawaii and the reviews on the actual ham were good. The Ham arrived with no instruction or INF. in the box. We had to store it for some time that was longer than Broadbent's 30 day guarantee that I was not aware of. A dry cured ham should store for a year. We had to trash the ham. When contacting Broadbent, I felt the customer services was totally lacking and they were looking for any excuse to blow me off and put the blame on the me. With that said, Buyer Beware. Be sure you receive the Inf. that is claimed to have come with the product. Please know I was not looking to be compensated with a free ham but just some kind of incentive would have compelled me to try again the Broadbent ham. That not being the case, I will go back to my roots and order a ham from eastern North Carolina. They know about pork in NC! Please know this review is primarily based on Broadbent's service and not the actual has as we never got to try it! read more

The people- The most wonderful people to talk with. Drop dead from goodness SLAB BACON! They are all done just right and very popular with everyone I have ever shared with. The girls on the phones are as sweet and sugar and so nice...and if your sweet and nice it gets down right comfy ordering from them. Shipping- VERY TIMELY shipping!! They don't fool around with orders. Observations- I make my own bacon and vary flavors and cure times. So I know what i am getting and looking at and tasting....I know. SO- I only buy a few slabs from here and there for fun, and the fact that they are "cultural" items that vary from state to state , and it sure is a great way to sample our "country" in a food form. And food is fun. Broadbent bacon is one I buy on a regular basis when I am not making it myself. The old time love shows through, and the character and quality are a great Ozark example of what folks want in a great bacon. IT IS STUNNING GOOD EVERY TIME. Broadbent bacon will NEVER scare off folks, or have folks headed for water. I have never had "too salty" Slab from these folks...not over salty and not wimpy either..they have a nice balance going there.The wide eyes and smiles will be what ya get when you serve it. Slabs are dry cured, trimmed very well and shrink wrapped for delivery. I myself remove the slab from the package and wipe it dry. I hang it or store it wrapped in a flour cloth or a brown bag in the fridge or on the porch out back in winter time. It likes it and keeps it dry, not sweating in a plastic bag keeps it quite well for as long as it lasts around here. It can be sectioned, wrapped and frozen and that does not seem to bother it at all either. All in All...for the price...ya cant beat it..ya just want to eat it. One more tip- it can be sectioned off and roasted like a piece of plain pork belly...Then sliced or chopped up like brisket (drool) it is sooooo good! ...loose meat hot sandwiches...oh my! read more

We received a Broadbent ham as a gift from a friend. It was so salty that we couldn't eat it. I thought by cooking it in a pot with beans I might be able to cut the salt. I was wrong, I had to throw the entire pot out as the salt was extremely over powering. I contacted the company to see if something was wrong with the ham I received. I did not receive a reply until I sent them another e-mail 3 months after the first one. The reply simply stated that this ham is salty and to tell the gift giver to send a different type this Christmas! Really??? What great customer service! read more

Just off Interstate 24 at the Kuttawa exit the Broadbent store is located behind a truck stop. Go west a few yards from the truck stop entrance to find Broadbent's entrance. This store is also the location where they smoke and cure their pork hams and bacon. Inside the store there isa gift shop, country ham and bacon for sale.There is also breakfast slices and biscuit cut slices. Also in the front and to the right are tables and chairs for snacks from their deli. Sandwiches include hickory smoked ham sandwiches, an uptown bologna sandwich and a Broadbent Award Winning Pepper Bacon . All the sandwiches were less than $5 the day we visited. The country ham is absolutely the best. They have several cuts availabe including center cut slices, ham hocks, and other cuts of the country ham. The gift shop has available jams and jellies. All this is available for shipping and there is a complete catalog available for mail ordering.You can ask for a tour of their processing area where you can see hundreds of hams being cured and perhaps some pork bellies.The deli also has a selection of various cheeses, chicken salad and potato salad. This is a neat stop for Kentucky country ham products. The staff is friendly and helpful. More than likely you may be able to chat with the owners, Mr. & Ms.Dreman. read more
