My great grandmother purchased all her meat products at Merkley's over a half century ago. We still…read morego down from Indianapolis, roughly once a year, and stock on all things cow and pig. The selection is immense. They have all manners of sausage. They have all manners of beef. They have all manners of chicken. They will even custom butcher livestock you bring it to them, for a nominal fee. Merkley's is also a throwback for grocery shopping. It's not just going to the mega mart and picking up random bits on styrofoam trays, covered in cellophane. You can talk to the butcher, ask for recommendations and opinions. They'll gladly tell you all you need to know. First, go to Walmart. Buy the biggest cooler you can fit in your car. And get down to Merkley and Son's. You should also get ice, but they will give you a bag of ice if you ask nicely. Oh, and finally, and get a box of wheat thins. It's for the ham salad. They make their own ham salad in house and in my humble opinion, it's worth the trip all by itself.

Everyone in the store is nice except for the workers that they have behind the deli counter cutting the lunch meats and cheese. It's pretty aggravating that my experience with several including the one today act as if they hate their job. It's an annoyance for them to wait on you. They don't smile short answers, and I'm talking about the women there the guy is really nice. Boones you can do better. That was my last opportunity. I'm not going to feel like I am an inconvenience, and my business is not appreciated by the workers behind the meat deli.

The food - A lot of variety of sandwiches to choose from. My Turkey sandwich was packed with meat that overwhelmed the regular slices of bread. I had to add to it to bring flavor to it and would recommend adding thicker slices of bread to it. The baked were good. Loved the variety of fruit options, frozen items, fresh meat, and other things to try out. Garden section - Didn't know this existed in here. A variety of plants and flowers to choose from. Customer service- It was top notch from the counter and front store cashiers. Everyone was nice and on point. They kept lines moving which I appreciated too. So this is on my store rotation to try new things here!

Several of the sauces look worth a taste. We arrived at the front of the line, and the line remained out the door. We ordered a corned beef on rye and a roast beef on white. We found our new favorite sandwich place. Total was $15.90 paid in cash. The bread was delicious. The meat was delicious. The veggies were fresh. The cheese was flavorful. We'll be back on a Thursday for the ribeye sandwich. We'll be back for the burger, the pork chop, and the ribs. There is a menu full of items we want to try because the deli sandwich was great. Highly recommend!
