I love I can go get Italian meats and cheeses to recreate my favorite Italian dishes. You walk in and you might as well be in Italy! Just a cute mom and pop deli with friendly staff who love to engage in conversations. I could have talked and ate with them all day! Great prices too! Some items better priced than the local stores. I love going down here to get my meats and cheeses. Go try them out and get some sandwiches and snacks too!

It was on an absolutely perfect hoagie roll from local bakery Union Loafers, and it was one of the best sandwiches I've eaten in a while. In addition to the sandwich, I picked up some beautiful beef jerky, an "end" of mortadella, and a couple of other goodies. Service was quick and friendly and it was a really great stop and I really like that they do not use sodium nitrite in their products, they are all natural! And very tasty. This was the first time visiting this place, although I've passed it many times. Shame on me! I was missing out on some real deliciousness.

This was my 3rd or 4th time in, and they had what I needed to complete our wießwurst dinner we are having. Freshly baked buns,German potato salad, sauerkraut, and fine spicy German mustard. When I had questions about a couple of items, they were very helpful in determining which item would be best for what we are serving. If you like jerky, they have big meaty pieces that are favorable with just the right about of chewiness. I wish they were not a 40 min drive for me, but it is worth it.

Butcher shop tucked in between car dealerships lot. Odd location but it's easy access, and more importantly, it's the best butcher shop in the area. Good steak cuts; deli cheese selections; landjagers; and brats. On every visit, I make sure to buy jalapeno landjagers. The Hungarian brat is highly recommended. If you're a hunter, get a hold of this shop - I believe they can process your hunt.

Everything's high-quality and poor value after accounting for the price. I stopped in to pick up a pork loin because I was around the corner, looking for ~3-4lbs of meat. They only had a 1 1/2 pound in the case (order taker weighed it to confirm before going to the back, which should've been my first warning) so I asked if they had any larger ones. They were nice enough to check and offer to cut one. That's where things went downhill. After waiting 5 or 10 minutes, my order taker came back out to ask how I wanted it prepped (bone or boneless, skin on or off). I said skin off and ambivalent on the bones. This was my mistake, leaving my fate to the hands of someone profit motivated. I walked out with just about a 3 pound bone in roast, which is maybe half a pound more meat than the one and a half pound I turned down - not enough for my guests and I. Had I gotten a roast closer to 4lbs, I would've been unhappy with the price but not enough to write a review. Additionally, they only charged a dollar less for bone in. At $15/lb, I effectively paid the price of their beef for the meat after accounting for the bone. I felt tricked. In hindsight, I should've just turned it down when I saw the price, but I was a bit too shocked to say anything. So I paid my bill and swore that I wouldn't be coming back for anything but (maybe) sausage or a snack again.

Bolyard's is a cute little butcher shop located in the heart of Maplewood. I ordered online and…read morepicked up to-go once I got there. The Tom Tom sandwich was just okay, nothing spectacular. I probably wouldn't order it again, but if you're thinking about trying it I'd recommend adding bacon to make it less bland. But the beef tallow fries were 11/10!!! At first I thought no way are these $8 fries going to be that good but they really were spectacular. The house made ketchup with them too made it really unique!‍ I also ordered some breakfast sausage to make with biscuits and gravy at home since the meats case was filed with a great selection. A plus is they also have a parking lot with dedicated spots too if you wanted to dine-in.

We saw an episode of Strange Foods America or something that visited the Bosnian part of St. Louis…read moreand they highlighted some good looking food. We decided next time we were in St. Louis, we'd swing through and check the area out. Iriskic is a small little market with a few aisles of Bosnian food products and a meat counter. The food selection is pretty expansive given the small space. There are products from candy to entrees to soda to desserts. We scanned the shelves and found some products that looked interesting and bought them. we also bought some cheese and meat from a cooler. We've eaten a number of things now and they were pretty darn good. The woman working the counter was really nice and answered questions about the foods and flavors of things. If you are specifically looking for Bosnian food, well, this is the place to go. If you are looking for something a little out of your comfort zone, this could be a great stop for you. The staff is nice, the food is good and atypical and nothing you will find in a standard grocery store.
