The market…read morehad a of variety of products to choose from including spices, ready to eat meat, raw meat, dog bones, and dog scraps. On Saturdays they have a "live hoof" gathering in the parking lot. People bring in sheep, goats, cattle, etc and then the customers pick out which animal they want to buy/slaughter. They start this at 5AM, but I was told the line starts before 4AM because that they get the first pick of the animals for sale. Place was decorated with previous animals. Everything was clean and neatly organized. Great place!

When you go looking for lamb chops and they ask if you want fresh or frozen, you know you're in the…read moreright place. Not only do they have a fantastic selection of butchered meats, they also have plenty of smoked meat options, deli items, fresh eggs, butter, seasonings, pet treats, and local honey and produce. Their bacon and smoked pork chops, are amazing and are smoked in house. You can see the smoker going in the parking lot and know it might be a day to get smoked rib rack. The staff is so helpful and ready to cut anything the way you request or answer your questions. The facility is clean and smells of hickory. Always have a pound or two of bacon in the freezer and only go to this butcher for my meat and poultry needs. Please note, they only have land items, no fish or seafood.

I've been wanting to check this place out since Jason Kelce posted the video about this place on…read moreInstagram last year. This is a perfect hole in the wall kinda spot right in the middle of the neighborhood near Kansas City. They've been in business since 1929. Gave me Vintage vibes for sure. People were nice, kind & welcoming. Polish sausages (Kielbasa) are new news for me. So, I was excited about this visit. Too good that I came here for lunch with my colleagues. Other than sausages, they also have sandwiches (single/double meat) in their menu. Sandwich was very good and not so greasy. I ended up buying a pound of sausages to go!

I love stopping by local pig and grabbing any of their products to make a fantastic dinner. They…read morehave a wide array of products. They have all sorts of meat from beef to chicken and even sometimes rabbit. They also have eggs of different varieties including duck and turkey. They also have cheeses and charcuterie items. They have lots of pickled items. And even premade meals like pot pies, breakfast burritos, mac & cheese, and the last time I was in a stroganoff. In addition to food, they also have a few drink options like bottles of wine and beer. They even have dog food and dog treats. The store itself is decent sized. There's plenty of space for a few people to move around. They do have a large deli counter and a few coolers full of goodness. Service is always excellent. They are always helpful and can even offer suggestions if you don't know what to make with what. One of my go-tos are any one of their sausages. They have traditional ones plus a few fun ones. And if you watch their social media, they'll usually tell you when they have a limited addition one. The Rieger whiskey and apple sausage is one of my favorites. They also have a chicken curry sausage, which is excellent and has so much curry flavor. On my last visit I noticed that they have mac & cheese that you can take to go. They have a few different varieties, but I went with one with bacon because their bacon is always fantastic. It was a really good side. I slapped it on the grill to warm it up and it was delicious. Highly recommend. If you are in the city market area definitely stop in and check out what they have.

However, Exbeeriment is a mile down the street and they allow outside food so we decided to take our food to go and grab a beer to pair with it too! Win win. The truck says "Eat like a moose" and they mean it. Portion sizes are huge. We made two meals out of everything we ordered. The prices are pretty cheap and very reasonable for what you get. I ordered a combo sandwich with pulled beef brisket and smoked polish sausage. It was huge! The sausage was nice and smoky. The brisket was good and wasn't dry. My boyfriend also got a combo sandwich with brisket and burnt ends. I tried a burnt end and it was quite tender and juicy. Was the meat the best I've ever had? No, but for the price point and the quantity it's definitely good and I'd go back. I'd probably try something other than brisket. For sides we got a small Mac and cheese, a small bbq bean, and a large fry. They said a small serves one, a large serves two. I would argue that the large serves at least 3 and a small could serve two. Again huge portions. The fries were like McDonald's and were delicious. The Mac was ok. It was creamy and had a little spice to it. I'm not a huge fan of bbq beans but my boyfriend enjoyed them. If you're ever in the area, stop by and grab some bbq!
