They've got everything from barbecuing essentials and specialty seasonings to bold hot sauces and even a cold beer to enjoy while you shop. And then you make your way to that beautiful deli counter. That's when you truly appreciate the value of a real butcher. The quality, expertise, and personal service, it's a completely different experience compared to your typical grocery store. They also have 'cuts' of bone for your furry friends. We grabbed a bone for our dog and can't wait for him to enjoy it! Von Hanson's isn't just a deli... it's a place for anyone (new to grilling or professionals) who wants to enjoy quality meat and find whatever they need to cook it!

I haven't experienced this issue before, which is why I was surprised by my visit today. I…read morerequested five center-cut filet mignons, all cut to the same size, and trusted that they would be prepared as requested. Unfortunately, when I got home, the steaks varied significantly in size, and one was clearly not a center-cut filet. It was disappointing, especially since I was preparing a special meal on short notice. Update to my original review: After reflecting on my experience, I realized my original review didn't fully represent the business. From the moment I walked in, everyone was as friendly and welcoming as they have been during my previous visits. The staff was also very helpful in recommending some of their prepared side dishes, including the mac and cheese, twice-baked potatoes, and potato skins. They even provided cooking suggestions for both the air fryer and grill, which were appreciated. Although I was frustrated with how the filets were cut, I have to say the quality of the meat itself was excellent. The filets were incredibly tender, full of flavor, and everyone enjoyed them. The sides were also a big hit with our guests, especially the potato skins. I also want to recognize their outstanding customer service. The owner responded to my review promptly, and the store manager called me first thing the following morning to discuss my experience and make things right. That level of responsiveness and genuine care for their customers is becoming increasingly rare and deserves recognition. While my initial experience with the butcher counter was disappointing, I appreciate how seriously they took my feedback and their commitment to customer satisfaction. Because of that, I'll gladly continue shopping here and look forward to seeing the same high standards reflected in future visits.

It was tasty, but I did have to drink quite a bit of fat habit of it. Again that spicy though. Well, I was there. We also got takeout tacos that were already prepared. They were good however, the ladies taking the order did not speak very good English. I usually don't mind as long as they can communicate clearly in some way. Clearly, one of the ladies was training and the other one was more experienced having to train her and deal with a language issue. She was frustrated. Thankful to the cashier who spoke wonderful English and clearly stepped in to help. Food is good. I wouldn't rave about it, but I would go get the chicken again to cook at home.

The atmosphere is quaint, welcoming, and full of character. Now let's talk about the food--the smoked turkey is hands-down some of the best I've ever had. Tender, juicy, and packed with smoky flavor. And the brisket? Absolutely incredible. It was so tender it practically fell apart with every bite. You can tell everything is made with care and quality ingredients. Whether you're stopping in for lunch or just browsing the store, this place is a must-visit. Great food, friendly service, and all the small-country-store charm you could ask for. I'll definitely be back for more of that brisket!

We are frequent diners here and I have to bumped up the star rating to five because of the awesome…read moreexperience we had on Mother's Day. As always, we love the BBQ here...we typically get the moist brisket, the smoked potatoes, the three bean salad...today I also added a couple of corns and their cole slaw. The food is always so good and we find very consistent. Here's where the customer service outshined previous visits...when I got there and started to order our to-go dinner, I was told the potatoes were gone and they were making more but it would be about 20-30 minutes before they were ready. I was told that someone previously had come in an purchased 30 potatoes, which I will always say...if you are going to order something that large from a restaurant, please be considerate and pre-order so they are prepared. You walking in and ordering that big of an order put the people behind you without some of their choices. No worries today...it's Mom's Day and I wasn't going to sway from getting BBQ for our dinner. I had some other things to do so left the store to take care of other business. Once back home (we live fairly close to the store), I called to ask if the potatoes were ready and after being placed on a brief hold, was told they had some ready but they were flying out the door! The young lady asked me if I wanted to place an order over the phone and decided to do that just so I could be sure we had their most wonderful smoked potatoes. I drove down to pick up our order and was met with some of the best staff, who laughed with me about the situation. They agreed about people calling beforehand when wanting that much food, apparently they also got about 30 lbs of meat as well. It's all good and we will be back when we need our Rudy's fix!

Much needed as I ate little that day while in the office, and saved room for this! Upon arriving, I advised we were a walk up and needed a table for four. Easily accommodated since it was a Tuesday near opening. I appreciated the hostess showing the salad bar as we walked to a table, since we all had not been to this specific chain, but other Brazilian Steakhouse chains across the US (I've been to NYC, Jacksonville, Mesa, Scottsdale, and some in likely forgetting as I enjoy this dining concept). I was impressed by their selections at the salad bar, and enjoyed the caprese with balsamic glaze that was an available condiment. Manchego is always a must have if I see as well! The deviled eggs were a nice addition to the spread as well. As for the grilled meat items, they taste about what you'd expect at a Brazilian steakhouse. I wish they had chicken hearts like a location I frequent does. The grilled pineapple is always a hit with me. I did find myself more impressed with the salad bar though as the selection was pretty large, and could see myself getting just the salad bar on a future visit. We also enjoyed a bottle of wine for the table that was $25 off during happy hour, so I'd also be on the lookout to return during that timeframe as a $50 bottle became $25 which was great! Overall, a great experience and I'd return whether for work or for a personal visit.
