I used to only get the wild animal beef sticks when my family and I would come down for the Craft Fair in August but my wife and I moved to Lititz 7 or 8 year ago and I love having such an amazing place at my finger tips now instead of waiting until August. I've tried so many exotic meats and cheeses such as the Rocky Mountain Oysters, Duck, Camel, Buffalo, Venison and I love to go in on 2nd Fridays to try the different cheeses from around the world. My favorite is the Guinness Beer Cheese or the cheese that has a hint of coconut and reminds you of a pina coloda. Owners are so pleasant to deal with and treat you like family. They're always happy to answer your questions on any of their meats and cheeses. read more

Their deli counter is well priced and always packed with patrons for MTOs and takeaway portions. They also have hard ice cream to dip into cones and bowls. After that it's always an adventure as to what you're finding. All the dry goods, random produce and baked goods along with refrigerated and frozen items.

And she said, "and you're just now coming here?!?!? What took you so long?!??" My thoughts exactly! Ugggghhhh!!! WHYYYYY DID I WAIT SO LONG?!?? Forry's has a deli counter with all the Lancaster county favorites; soft serve ice cream, a made to order sandwich counter, -- like Subway-- but Soooooo much better (they even have pretzel rolls!!!!) They have produce, meat, bulk goods, frozen gourmet entrees including REAL gnocchi and ravioli-- I mean-- oh my LORD-- that little, non-assuming shop, is tucked in the back -- where one goes there because one wants to-- because it's a heavenly destination-- and exudes love and care from the second you walk in! And as was pointed out to me by the sweetest lady ever at the register: "ya hafta try our oatmeal raisin cookies. They're the best," and she was NOT wrong! We got the chocolate chip ones too. So good. Get over there y'all! Forry's is one of those places that just might renew your faith in humanity and give you a reason to go on.

While in town, we wandered in wishing we had already grabbed some baked goods earlier in the day. And with a mission to acquire some meat for the grill later in the day. Immediately we were met with a variety of whoopie pies (we got a traditional one and cookie one, both delicious), and most of all the BEST cinnamon roll we have ever feasted on. Not only was it tremendous but it was perfectly gooey, and the buttercream (or at least that's how it tasted) frosting in lieu of traditional icing blew it out of the water. We also grabbed some chicken bacon burgers which we grilled up and really enjoyed. Just wished the patties were initially bigger. We ended up putting 2 and 2 (out of the 4) together to make burgers which would actually survive the grill. In general the selection is everything you'd imagine in Amish country combined into one little place. Prices were excellent, quality was great. Definitely stop in!

I am currently on the search for the BEST Cuban sandwich(es) in Lancaster area and I have to admit…read morethis unassuming corner store is a top contender so far. This Dominican run store offers a menu of various different sandwiches available on either a roll or as a sub. I have driven past this store numerous times but tried them one day as I happened to be in the neighborhood for work. The exterior of the store adorns colorful photos of different sandwiches and a Cuban sandwich marks the front door. You can find various snacks and drinks here as well as some basic groceries but the real reason to go is for the sandwiches. I have yet to try any of their sandwiches other than their Cuban however I have seen sandwiches that other customers have ordered and they look appetizing. Although I get tempted to try something else I keep getting drawn back to the Cuban. At $7.00 it is sizeable, delicious, and recommended. There is another small store with the same name on Woodward St. but they claim no affiliation with this location. Ironically, they both feature the same menu, same prices, and even made by the same printer. Beware when you order though if you do not speak Spanish. Usually there is one of three women manning the counter and each has varying levels of comprehension of English. One of them has gotten my order right everytime. Another got my order right but when I asked questions she had to have one of the men communicate with me. The third excluded items from my order. The second two women do not know what a traditional Cuban sandwich consists of and will ask you if you want lettuce, onion, tomato, salt, pepper, oregano, and even oil and vinegar as if they have memorized a script for taking orders for Italian subs. They even ask if you want it "toasty", meaning pressed, which of course you do...it's a Cuban sandwich!!! You may want to double check your order with the guy making the sandwiches to ensure accuracy and to receive what you ordered. Beware how you pay as well. If you pay cash your bill will total $7.00 but if you pay with debit card you will receive an unannounced additional charge. There is no signage indicating this and you will not be informed about it when paying. If you ask at least two of the women they will speak Spanish to one of the men who will then have to explain it to you. Overall, the Cuban sandwich is great. It is filling, proportioned well, and priced nicely. Their other sandwiches look good and fall in line with prices and size. If you get the Cuban, a nice compliment are the Raylicious brand garlic plantain chips they sell there. My rating is based on the Cuban sandwich but I can only imagine their other sandwiches are good too. One day I will override my inclination toward the Cuban and get something else but what will most likely happen is I will order a sub and also order a Cuban as backup.

The sandwiches are delicious, good quality meat and plentiful. The prices can't be beat and Ihe…read morestaff is friendly. Being new to the neighborhood finding a good sandwich shop was important to find and O & J will be my go to.

Their selection of cans is not as large as it used to be in the early days, but I think that's because they actually have more taps now.

They also still have a nice little food menu with pizzas and sandwiches and things and I hear that the edamame hummus is outstanding.
