So why make the backroads trek to the source? For one thing, you can sneak a peek at the cheese-making operation. The process is very labor-intensive. Better still, you can walk around the corner to see the much more automated milking operation. A couple years ago, team Kenny invested in a new barn and robots to feed and milk the cows. They use lasers to read the cow udders, people. LASERS ON UDDERS I tell ya. Another reason to visit is that they've set up two very reasonably-priced Airbnb rooms in that sparkling new barn, right above the cows. Yes, they leave cheese samples in the refrigerator. Bring your own wine and bug spray and kick back on the patio. Pet the many cats. Meet Kenny if you're lucky. Hike in nearby Mammoth Cave. Who doesn't need a cheese weekend? I sure do. We really enjoyed our cheese-centered vacation and I now intend to center future vacations on cheese-related destinations. Finally, the store likely carries some specialty cheeses that your local store doesn't. Stock up, eat up, brag to your friends.

We came here for a cheese and wine class and had a blast! Their head cheesemonger is entertaining…read moreand knowledgeable. They also had a local wine rep to educate us about the wine. We had five wine and cheese courses, in addition to the introductory wine and cheese to "warm us up." The space is warm and open. Tons of open coolers to check out cheeses and wines after. We paid almost 200 dollars for two people to have wine, cheese, a charcuterie and crusty bread board (optional). So about 100 bucks a person. I thought this was a reasonable value and we had such a great time. Keep in mind, this is was you make of it . . . the more questions you ask, the more you will learn. We learned about politics in cheese, cheese thievery, under-appreciated cheeses that smell like gym socks, but taste like a dream. A very laid back and congenial environment. We definitely plan on returning to shop! And they have a "girl scout and cheese pairing" class every April that I can't wait to try next year! As far as people complaining about parking, not sure what they are talking about. There is a commercial parking lot out front and the first two hours are free.

I found Grey's online after wanting to find a local cheese shop that might have some options that…read moreare not available at the grocery store. I was excited to see the shop and was very interested in purchasing some cheese. My husband and I drove 45 minutes from across town to visit the shop. It also happened to be the Friday after the large ice storm we recently had, so we were happy to be able to support a local business after they had to close for a few days due to the weather. Upon arriving, we parked in the garage and walked around for a good ten minutes trying to find the shop. There is no good signage to show you exactly where the shop is, and walking around in 25-degree weather trying to find it was frustrating and we almost left. We finally found it, and upon walking inside, it was a warm and inviting space. There were two employees in the shop/restaurant area - one was helping a customer at the register and the other was talking to a friend/customer from behind the cheese counter. We were looking at the wall of non-cheese items, which seemed like a nice selection of crackers, mustards, honeys, and other accompaniments you could purchase. We walked up to the cheese counter and started looking at the cheese in the refrigerated display. We went back and forth between picking up cheese to see what it was and patiently looking up to wait for someone to acknowledge/help us. While we stood there, another employee came out from the back of the restaurant to bring samples of cheese to the customer at the register and promptly went back into the kitchen. The friend/customer of the other employee left, and the second employee that had been behind the counter moved out into the restaurant and started wiping empty tables. At this point, we had probably been in the shop for a good ten minutes. None of the employees acknowledged we were there, not even to say they would be with us shortly or to offer a hello. At this point I was frustrated, so we left to go to the bathroom in the hallway and didn't go back in. I'm not sure if we weren't "hip" enough for them to even say hello to, if we didn't look the part or what, but being completely ignored in a tiny shop for over ten minutes was beyond rude. I was so excited to visit this shop, but the experience left a bad taste in our mouths. As they say, "you never get a second chance to make a first impression", so we will find other places to spend our money.

"Quality and fair pricing"…read more OK. I'm in town with the in-laws for the Christmas holiday. Yesterday we stopped at Hampton meats to get a few steaks and some hamburger, and the first thing that I noticed was that the meat is higher than Whole Foods at Whole Foods in Green Hills Nashville. But it's not grass-fed. When we got home, we fired up the grill, my father-in-law cooked some steaks, and he knows how to cook steaks. They looked great, they were tough as nails. OK. I'll let that pass because it happens sometimes. But today, when my husband went to the refrigerator to get out the hamburger, it was grey. I'm attaching a few pictures. (Please note that the iPhone doesn't truly show how gray this meat is. It seems to have added a little bit of color, but this stuff was grey ) Needless to say, the whole family was a little irked, and if I did live here, I would never go back. This meat is horrible, overpriced, and only God knows how old it really is. One more complaint is the girl at the deli counter. I don't know if she didn't wanna work on Christmas Eve day, but she had an attitude that put me right off. She acted like it was a big pain in her fat butt to slice a few pounds of cheese for me. And while she didn't throw it on the counter, she certainly didn't put it down nicely and she didn't say thank you. I was told since Hampton's changed hands, the quality and the service has been subpar. I can attest to that.

It did take about twenty minutes but there is an antique shop right next door I strolled while my husband waited! ;) Definitely worth a stop in!

Super nice staff will attend to your culinary desires. Bring cash if you want to avoid the slight surcharge for use of credit card. Delicious sandwiches, German breakfast plates, and even pizza are on the menu, too! The pastries, danishes, and more are delicious, light, and varied. They even have gluten free options! I love trying something different with a hot cup of Earl Grey tea each time I come. Prices aren't too bad either. We come back fairly regularly and will continue to. They even have a separate enclosed dining area that can be reserved for events. They are kid-friendly as well with a kid playing area! Love this place and sure you will, too!!

This event was really fun! Just had a few gripes that didn't quite make it a five star experience…read more The location is in the middle of nowhere Germantown. It was very industrialized and a bit hard to find, but we made it. We ended up paying double for the VIP tickets, so we received the following: drank and sampled cheese an hour early, received a cooler bag, had $10.00 worth of vouchers to spend inside, and had access to a VIP area with tables, food, and our own bar. It was HOT the day of the event and I was very glad I dressed appropriately. To give the organizers credit, they did send an email saying that it was going to be a hot one as a warning. I liked being able to take my time and sample around before it got super busy, but overall... I think VIP is overrated. Maybe the festival has been extremely packed in years past, but I didn't feel that it was that crowded this year. I think the key to getting your money's worth is to get there RIGHT on time if not 5-10 minutes early so you can dive right in. They did start getting short on some things (like the sparkling wine) but I was plenty full and tipsy as the event wound down. I had a great time, and would not suggest eating before you come. I almost ate lunch but am glad I didn't. Those samples add up quickly! Overall, this was a fantastic event and I look forward to enjoying it next year!

I really wanted to love this... yet I was so incredibly disappointed…read more The idea and (most of) the cheese purveyors are awesome- but the follow through was horrible. The people behind planning this need to make some serious changes. First, the good. A lot of the cheese was really good. There was a wide selection and the beer selections were great too- yazoo, fat bottoms and the cider place was great. The problems: 1) It is so incredibly hot. This is an issue they could fix. They do it in an old abandoned/type building that is concrete. They didnt open any of the back windows and didnt have any fans. It was like a sitting hot box for the summer. They could have picked a different (air conditioned) venue or opened all the windows or provided more fans. The issue was that it was so hot that all the cheese began sweating. Cheese does not do well when its left out anyways, but when you put it under extremely hot conditions it does event worse. 2) Wine. By 3:30 (when general admission started at 3:00) the wine merchant began pouring less than an ounce and apologize because they said they were almost out of wine. It was fine for my husband who loves beer, but yazoo's line was completely empty while the wine line was swarmed to get an ounce. 3) They started closing at just after 5pm. I felt bad for all those people who purchased the economy tickets who couldnt come till 4:30. A lot of places were sold out, packed up or left by after 5. 4) All the cheese purveyors ran out of selling cheese. I went to try cheeses and buy cheeses. By 4pm almost all the good cheese people were completely out. I really wanted to love this. Probably one of my top things to get anywhere is a good cheese plate. It was so disappointing.

So, my new Mountain Cur pup was what finally got me to go in this butcher shop. I had seen it and…read morepassed it many times in the nine years since I moved back. However, I consider such places above my budget. A friend who has had pedigree dogs suggested I get some beef/pork hocks and cross-cut marrow bones for my pup. In fact, a lady later heard me talk about this somewhere and said she would be going to get some for her Great Danes. (I hope I don't cause a rush on these and then I can't get them! :-) However, I found a new venue where I can get Penn's country ham. I have a venue for Berger (sp?) ham but I actually prefer Penn's. Now I can't stop going in there to buy country ham because it's one of my favorites. Alas, the saga continues, because one day I splurged on a pint of gourmet ice cream. No, it wasn't cheap, but OH MY GOSH I can't even describe it! This shocked me because I am not much of an ice cream eater having had an intolerance for milk as a baby. This stuff is indescribably delicious! I have also found other items occasionally like huge baking potatoes or fresh corn on the cob that they occasionally have. Iim just a little annoyed that it's taken me nine years to go in and check it out. The service is very good, and there is an obvious aura of family pride in their service. Because of all their yummy delectable items, you might have to wait a few minutes because they often cut your meat while you wait.
