I finally went across the street to Brothers and had an excellent tuna sandwich.

I recently had some great short ribs and the host said he got them at Alpine, so I went to Alpine and bought some. They were so full of fat - the ribs were about 15% meat and the rest was fat.

There's…read morea mix of prepared stuff such as chicken breasts, burgers, wings, tri-tips in marinade, and steaks. We ended up picking out two tenderloins, which were great reverse-seared. I did have to trim off a tiny bit of silverskin off the outside of one of the steaks, but that's generally a good sign that they cut the meat in house. There were five folks behind the counter to help get things out of the case, so that was easy and fast. We also got some local-made roasted pork buns in the frozen area made by Dumpling Daughter, which were also a nice treat. Will probably be back. Would recommend this place if you want locally butchered meat.

Not too much mayo on the Roast beef and I am overwhelmed with the amount of beef that is put into the sandwich. The beef was super tender, very tasty and not bleeding. It's so good to see you get what you pay for here, they put local sub shops to shame. The Italian sub was just as awesome and it was made with generous portions as well. The chili is saturated with beef and has a heat that sneaks up on you. The store is eye pleasing with a variety of groceries including fresh protein, frozen meals, sauce, salads and more. I'll be back with a little bit more cash for something from the shelf. Worth the trip.
