My wife and I were in Alexandria and we decided to get some meat to grill up at the lake cabin…read more This place is really big and actually had a sandwich shop in the back and I saw a plaque on the wall that said they had the best sandwiches in the area. I decided to get a pastrami and a pulled pork sandwich to go. The kid behind the counter actually heated up the two meats in a pan, I thought that was a nice touch. The lady was very nice and served it to me with a smile. I got 4 elk burgers to grill and I have had two. They are kind of gamey in a nice way and super lean. I will add some salt and pepper to it when I grill it up tonight. I might even add a slice of pepper jack to add a little fat to the meal. It went well with a nice side salad and some zucchini sticks. This place was a great small town meat market and there was a vegetable stand in the parking lot and I got some great cherry tomatoes.

What a gem of a meat shop! These types of places used to be on the corner of every country mile…read morewhen I was a child growing up in PA. Unfortunately many of those have gone away. This was like a blast from the past. Fantastic variety and quality walk hand in hand with perfect customer service at this establishment. I get to the area only once a year. I can guarantee that I'll be walking through those doors again in August of 2024.

The floral dept in this store is horrible.. my son ordered flowers for me for Mothers Day, which…read moreI'm sure he paid an expensive price, and when they were delivered, the flowers and leaves were falling out of the vase as the lady picks them up and pushes them back in the vase. I stood there and witnessed this myself! The sunflowers looked like they just took them and shoved them in the vase and put leaves around the sides. Nothing was arranged properly. Absolutely horrible quality and i will be sure to tell my kids to never use them again! Save your money because the florists at this place have no idea on what they're doing!

On the most part I like Eldens. Good selection of fresh vegetables and fruits. But the last few…read moretimes we have been there, they have a very rude, short tempered lady that works as the self service area. She is of no help to anyone except throwing out nasty barbs at the customers. The staff at Cub Foods in the self check out are very helpful and always cheerful and have wonderful customer relations skills. Perhaps she needs some customer relations training. Most of the staff at Elden's are pretty helpful. I always say if you work in a customer relations service and you don't like your job, perhaps you should find a different one where you don't have to work with people.

I was just laughing at the bad reviews about the "horrible employees" at Aldi. I love the place…read more Great stuff at good prices and a small store so you can get around, get your stuff and get out. These bad review make me wonder if these are Walmart or a local grocery store's employees trying to scare people away. LOL. I suppose there could be a bad employee there but I've never seen one. Maybe the reviewers are just nutcases?

A few supplies for the van now that the sun is starting to shine and I feel confident that I'll…read morehave enough battery on board for a few days. Bread, cheese, meat even a bag of chips today. This ALDI is laid out the same as others I've been to lately including Mount Pleasant SC and Fort Myers FL and Addison IL. Dry goods at the entrance, produce, fresh foods, deli, canned and bottled, cleaning and housewares, meats, frozen. And yes, the "Aisle of Awesomeness" though I didn't see anything today that would work in the Sprinter van. You'll need to remember to bring a quarter for the shopping cart (you get it back when you return it) and reusable bags because ALDI charges for plastic bags. It's all about keeping the prices low and yes, they are very low. [Review 20753 overall - 164 in Minnesota - 1735 of 2023.]
