The brisket was a bit salty but we loved the nachos and 3 meat dinner split among our family! Definitely recommend stopping in if you're in the area or on your drive down m-53!

All the French fries are made in front of you with real potatoes! Worth the wait! Sides were delicious as well. Go in the store for a real treat - special meats, sauces, cheeses, and liquor all begging to go home with you.

Wednesday, 9/25/2024…read more Review #495 - F T T and F T R I live in Macomb Township, which is 25 minutes of a drive, north on M-53 to the Township of Almont. My review is based on my several visits and experiences this year with family members who are residents in Almont. I have enjoyed watching my Great Nephew play different sports in this city such as basketball games indoor at Almont High School, Karate classes, 6 year olds T-Baseball at The Bells Event baseball fields, and currently he plays Flag Football on the Almont High School football field. After the sporting events I have enjoyed breakfast, lunch and dinner at the following restaurants in town: Breakfast - Brunch @ Joe's, Lunch - Maria's Place, Lunch - Country Smoke House, Dinner - Roza's Pizza, A & W, Charlie Browns Ice-Cream, and soon I plan to dine in at their favorite Mexican hot spot called Senor Victors located on Main St. I recently visited The Township of Almont on Saturday 9/21/2024 and attended their annual Heritage Festival & Year #2 a Classic Car Show walking past over 500 vehicles. Photos attached cuz I'm a car buff. I still miss my Chevy Camaro, two tone 1979 Z28, 350 V8. What Great planning credit to Angela Edwards DDA in charge of these days on Friday & Saturday. First, I attended a flag football game at 8am, then breakfast was a delicious chocolate chip waffle, cofffee. Our table was approached by 4 different servers to show how wonderful, friendly and helpful the staff is to each other and customers dining for breakfast and lunch only at Brunch @ Joe's. Charlie Brown's Ice-cream (Review Posted) is a local and cool business owned by a family in Almont. Maria's Place serves homemade soups and thick delicious sandwiches when I dined for lunch. A & W is just outside of town near Charlie Brown's and they serve a traditional favorite, A Frosted Mug of Root Beer or Add Scoops To Enjoy As A Root Beer Float! Their chicken tenders are large pieces with Crispy Breaded to dip in BBQ Sauce and Ranch as I did. Note: Kommunity Kracker Barrel is everyone's go to Liquor Store that carries Craft Beers, Wine, Kegs and misc snacks on Main St Too ! The Heritage Festival was Funtastic & Sunsational especially with my comfort 3,000 steps of walking and viewing classic cars. We stopped in The Village Shirt Company that sell Almont Raiders apparel, hats and other items to show support of the Township of Almont. The Heritage Festival had many sponsors (Photo Sign Attached) of their businesses plus residents, Almont Lions Club that support their community. This year there were several Food Trucks to satisfy quick hungry appetites ! The festival was very organized, safe and family oriented thanks to Angela Edwards Director of DDA. Brief History: Almont Settlement can be traced back to 1827 with dirt roads then the Village was was created in 1836 with store, school, hotel and a blacksmith and shoe shop. Then in 1855 the community settled in the county of Lapeer with a lumbering industry. The first electric streetcar from Detroit reached Almont in 1914 which brought electricity with it to serve the Township of Almont with electric power then later it was extended to Imlay City. Population in 2022 was 3,000 Current estimate in 2024 is 9,000 The Township is linked to southeast Michigan region of M-53 in route to Port Austin and I-69 which is linked to Port Huron. Click on more History and Village of Almont: www.almont.michigan.gov. The Township of Almont is served by three school districts, Almont, Dryden and Imlay City, Almont has a Primary Building for grade school, Middle School and High School with close to a total of 9,000 residents living in this historical city.

Their Address: 819 North Main St. Almont, MI. 48003 Office Hours: Monday - Thursday 8 AM - 2 PM Phone (810) 798-8521 Elections are also held at this address according to Clerk. Please enjoy the photos that I have attached for The Township of Almont with business information and the places that I have visited. My favorite so far was the annual September event: The Heritage Festival & Classic Car Show! I'm looking forward to visit and attend their Halloween Festivities in October as well ! Stop I'm at Blake's Backyard Almont at 5600 Van Dyke that is family-friendly and open Year-Round. Also Winter Activities! SpecialK Karen N. :-) Helper Yelper

Really nice Meijer with some of the best produce I've ever seen!…read more Since I've been coming up this way to start at our second home, there was never a Meijer nearby. Now that there is, this one is fantastic for anything you're looking for! In particular, they have a really good produce section. Some of the biggest onions and yellowest bananas that I've ever seen! The aisles with snacks, chips, meat, beverage, dairy, and toiletries are full too (the usual things you run out of while you're up here).

My all-time favorite grocery store. It's full of old-fashioned country charm and pleasant…read moreAmish/Mennonite/Christian staff. There were meats and multitudes of fruits and veggies straight from the farm. Too bad it's well over an hour drive from my home, otherwise I'd be here at least weekly. PROS: Some of the best prices I've seen on bacon, ham, sausages, various cheese, lunch meat, bulk flours and popcorn kernels. There are tremendous discounts on other packaged foods close to expiration date. Nice selection of smaller brand goods throughout entire store. Great candy selection, including hard to find German black licorice ropes rolled into little wheels. Lots of other licorice flavors too. Local milk in big glass jars. Log rolls of fresh butter. Various local honey, jellies, and jams. Homemade peanut butter ground in-house. Homemade pickles in white tubs. 50 pound sacks of Michigan white potatoes. Jabba the Hut sized hubbard squash. Lots of hidden deals within the frozen food section...six New York bagels @ $3.99...five pounds of pepper-jack breaded chicken breast chunks at $10.99. A special shout-out to the BEST in-store bakery I've ever seen. Most everything is made from scratch; breads, fruit pies, cream pies, fried hand pies in wax paper sleeves, various cookies, donuts, etc. They have the BEST cinnamon rolls and pecan sticky buns on this Earth (see pics). These are worth the drive alone. Note the ingredients are simple with King Arthur flour as the base. Great prices too. One of the best deli hot food counters I've ever seen. Fried chicken, mashed potatoes, gravies, various hot vegetables, etc. Great prices. Looks like grandma made it all. In addition to the deli counter, there is a separate in-store cafeteria selling great lunch style foods like Reuban sandwiches, hamburgers, chicken fingers, fries, soups, etc. They cooked my hamburger in a cast iron pan on an old iron stove. Delicious! Great price too. The staff were extremely polite, helpful, and pleasant. Love the old fashioned check-out counters. They hand bag everything too. CONS: Too far from my home. Cramped aisles. Like any grocery store, not all the prices can compete with Wal-Mart. SUMMARY: Need a break from urban attitude? This is a no-brainer choice. Feels like walking back in time when people were nicer and food was better. Load up and drive out to the country, pretend it's a mini-vacation.

You will get what you want and Matt will go out of his way to make you happy and completely satisfied. He processed 2 deer for me last year and 2 this year and he did a excellent job. I had most of the meat smoked this year and it has lots of flavor. ( I'm Hooked ) He stayed in touch with me through the entire process and went over and above the entire time. This is a family run company in every sense of the word. Fairness from start to finish and a sense of pride in everything they do. The processing building and office building is white glove clean and really impressive. The best equipment. Give him the opportunity to make you happy and you'll be very pleased and will come back and be a loyal customer. I Guarantee!!!
