This is why we have started and expanded our food garden. No worries you can get institutional size processed corn product meal in a plastic bag inside a box.

This is definitely the best grocery store in Mason as far as price goes but like most stores…read morenowadays, you have to drive around from place to place to get the best deals. Some stores have better deals on particular items than others and this one is no exception. Aside from the prices, the food options aren't bad but as far as fresh food goes, it's not always the most fresh, especially in the meat department or vegetables. As far as service goes, the people you have to interact with like the cashiers or attendants are great, can be slow a times but mostly do great work. It's the stockers I'm not sure about, leaving boxes of frozen food to be put out an hour or two after it's been in room temperature. Just be careful what you eat from here sometimes. As far as the atmosphere, it's usually very clean and organized so I can't complain much there, carts are usually stocked up well too. One thing I don't understand is why it seems they are closing the 'Home' side of the store's doors earlier and earlier? I don't know, a bit of a pain but not the end of the world. At the end of the day, if you don't want to leave Mason for your groceries and want to be able to use digital coupons or coupons in general, this is what we got haha.

The place to go for quality meats. They have an outstanding selection. There smoked meats are…read moresecond to none. I make that my place to go a couple times a week.

Merindorf Meats is a local treasure. A friend recommended them to me and have never regretted…read morefollowing up on that. I'm usually hesitant to give a 5 star review as they're often viewed as suspect, but they deserve it. The meat is high quality and fresh. The prices might be a little higher than the chain stores, but what you're getting is superior in quality. Their coarse ground hot dogs are a revelation. Hands down the best hot dogs I've ever had. I made a gift of some to friends who live out of the area and am often asked if I could pick some up for them when planning a visit. They have a wide variety of products available with some that are not easily found elsewhere.

Sorry to see these bad reviews online. I go to QD in Mason…read moreall of the time to get bananas and whatnot. The staff is all wonderful. The store is clean. It is constantly busy. I am just looking for Christmas store hours and noticed these reviews. The 4 stars is due to the tight aisles and old fashioned decor that is likely due to the lack of attention by ownership to a rural store in a small town. There is absolutely no room to sit down and never will be as all of the space is needed for parking on site. I love QD.

Stopped in to Quality Dairy in Mason last night and received the smallest ice cream cones ever. I…read more swear they were about the size of a golf ball. Two young men were working last night, and I doubt they would have been happy if they were paying for something that small. They advertise 'Home of the big scoop"! That was a laugh. When the women are working this doesn't happen.

Their gas pumps always seemingly run out of register tape to print receipts. It's a problem! They…read morealso are one of the few places in the area that offer money orders and their Western Union machine is professedly always "down". It takes weeks to get it repaired and the feeling by the staff could be described as an underlying resentment bc they have to deal with it at all, but that's a staff-Western U in problem, not a customer problem. (It's a hot mess.) To be fair, the cashiers are usually very pleasant and helpful. The store regularly appears to be properly stocked. The layout is a bit of a maze of shelving, but not a big deal. The prices they offer for gas are comparable and reflective of other stations within the area. Store usually looks clean, although coffee area is sometimes messy but to be fair, that's naughty customers who don't pick up after themselves. The things I'd like to see fixed is the attitude/efficiency particularly of the money order machine-either fix it or stop advertising you have one and get rid of it. The other is the printer tape in the outside machines being constantly empty. I print the receipt for my record-keeping, so I prefer them printed outside for efficiency so I don't have to go in and stand in line for it to be printed out. The store is good overall, but could do better. I'd give 3 1/2 stars, but there not an option for it.

Not many great gas stations in Mason and this one is second to last in my opinion…read more The service in here is pretty bad, very slow and lacking efficiency. There's times where you'll go in super late and they'll have a bunch of hot food available but you go during the day sometimes and it's like they didn't even prep anything. On top of that, they seem to have trouble stocking stuff like lids, cups, buns, trays, straws...basically anything you'd need to get a drink or hot dog or whatever you want from that area. Funny thing is they'll still put out hot dogs whether they have buns or not, they don't care if they go to waste, they'll probably just eat them later on when no one is looking. This place is also filthy, never seems to be clean and there's usually 2-3 workers standing around doing nothing. I don't know what needs to be done about this place but it needs to happen already. Seems like since 7-11 got involved, this location tanked while most others thrived and still do.
