A really good friend suggested we go on a road trip to Boonsville. (I had a college buddy come…read morefrom that town so I was aware of the town.) So off we go. It is as the name says "Awesome." It is a small store with lots of country decor plus more. Tea towels, jars of sauces, jams, a dog section, indoor or outdoor decor and the list of what you can buy goes on. We chose the in-house deli for lunch. I was more than pleased with the choice. (I saw a gentleman's sandwich and decided from there.) The deli uses Boar's Head deli meats. I got the reuben which is put together a bit differently, but that difference is what made the sandwich. They toast the bread, warm the ingredients and then put the sammy together. No greasy mess of a sandwich falling apart. It was juicy, delicious and satisfying. My only complaint is that they do not offer chips or pickles as a side with the sandwich. You can buy a bag of chips, but no pickle. Small town. There's a refrigerator with beverages and take out meals. We had a grand 'ol time driving up and back. Saw the sites that we could see. Parking is OK for the size of the place. All the staff were helpful and friendly. They have smallish shopping carts, but it seemed like most people start their collection of goodies and leave them by the register. They also have a brunch on weekends. Give it a try, enjoy the shopping, enjoy a little something from the deli.

I always support small businesses, especially in a small town like Boonville, but this was one of…read morethe worst experiences I've ever seen with a business owner. The atmosphere feels extremely hostile if you're not part of her inner circle or if you don't have money to spend. Locals know how people are treated behind the scenes, which is why many of the customers seem to come from out of town. The owner has a reputation for tearing down other small businesses instead of supporting them, and constantly copies ideas from others rather than creating anything original. Competition clearly isn't handled professionally here. Beyond that, cleanliness was a major concern. I personally noticed signs of mice and roaches in the store, which made me very uncomfortable shopping there. Some products are nice, but many can be purchased directly from the original vendors instead. Small towns thrive when businesses support each other and treat people with respect. Unfortunately, that is not the experience here.

I didn't think l heard her correctly and said I need a bigger one can you look for one underneath? Nope!! Then she said to a guy named Randy, she wants one underneath. He replied give her what she wants! I'm like what is the issue here. I come in all the time and buy meat. When Randy walked up front she said to me.. Don't expect this to happen again. We aren't supposed to lift the paper and slapped the meat she wrapped on the counter! I didn't know how to respond. I regret not giving her the steak back and just leaving. I will not step foot in that place again! It's truly sad because maybe my business isn't a concern for them, but eventually it catches up when others feel the same way and stop going there. Believe me I spend a lot in meat and I'll go to Chanatrys where the butchers are polite and want to help! Oh and she didn't even use plastic or gloves to handle it, just grabbed with her fingers!

They had so many handmade goods: scented soaps shaped like trees and pinecones, saches with pine needles, a variety of homemade soups, pies, and so much more! We bought a little bit of everything. The owners were so warm and friendly. On our way out, we realized we were in need of half and half for our morning coffee. The owner gave us a small container - on the house! We will definitely stop by again and often. This was a true gem. Wish we had discovered sooner.

The wonderful woman who greeted us made us feel at home with her friendly hospitality. Larger than it looks with a warm homey feeling this store has something for everyone. We learned a bit about the history of Adirondack cheese and a relative cheese company I will leave for the owner to tell you about so be sure to ask. My friend and I had done the cheese trail the year before and all in one day but had a blast. We never found Adirondack that day as we were directed to an old sub location in the Village of Clinton. We were to get a cooler bag in completion and mail in of our completed trail brochure and I had sent mine in with the explanation of what had taken place. I never received the bag but the owner had some in her stockroom and was so nice to give me one when I told her my plight! Can't wait bring my friend here now that I found it!!

There is usually just one person working, and the service has always been friendly if not always fast due to the worker serving so many roles here.
