Nice Store: So as of May 2023 they have a fresh meat counter on Fridays and Saturdays. So in it they were selling some chicken s, chicken pieces, jalapeno cheddar burgers, clean burgers, garlic sausage, bratwurst, jalapeno cheddar sausage oh and they had some blueberry maple breakfast sausage which I liked. You're also steaks and pork chops but I didn't buy those. They have sauces, like barbecue sauce etc, honeys, spices, some pretty attractive cutting boards too. There's also a refrigerator with sauerkrauts. I like the dill pickle one. There's also eggs from Mayberry farms, some salad dressings, some cheeses. There's also a freezer section with some of their Frozen meats. I believe this place is also maybe an abattoir, or a place where the beef goes after the abattoir. You can order beef in bulk. But also in bulk that's pretty reasonable for a couple or single person. Check out their website We tried the garlic sausage which I really liked, the maple bacon breakfast sausage which I thought was good. The jalapeno cheddar burgers were a hit as well. Oh in the freezer they also had some bagged sauces, for example I bought a Bolognese that was frozen. I haven't tried it yet Staff: Oh the people that work there were so nice. The guy behind the counter was nice explained how things were made helped me take a couple things so. Explain how everything worked. The lady of the cash, was a little busy at the time I went but she was cool. Answering all the questions while serving people. It's not always really busy because when I finally went to pay there was only one other person in the shop with me. Would I go back? Yes when I'm in the area I will definitely go back. I would definitely make sure to go on a Friday or Saturday to get fresh meat from the counter. There's a couple other places in Bruce mines that I like to check out.

The meat was provided instead in large chunks and because it was frozen could not be cut into manageable portions. Over 1/3 of the meat was very fatty ground beef, not an amount of lean ground beef to fill out the order as was the agreement. No liver was provided although the agreement included frozen sliced liver.

I thought I had already reviewed this place. Anyway, it's an independently owned grocery store…read morethat's huge and really cool. Apparently it started off as an IGA, but then broke away from the franchise and blossomed into what it is today. I love going to grocery stores when I'm in a different city, because they always have products that aren't available at home. So the last time my husband and I were in The Soo, I dragged him into the rental car to go check out Pino's and now he raves about it even more than I do, lol. It's huge like a Loblaws or Superstore, but has the feel of more like a Farm Boy or a Whole Foods. It has a great bakery section with fresh baked donuts! The prepared food section has lots of variety. We were growing tired of eating out so much on our trip so we bought a bunch of stuff to eat back at our hotel room. Whenever people talk about The Soo, I always bring up Pino's Get Fresh and The Burger Don as my two favourite places there ;)

I wanted to setup a slaughtering date. didn't know until a couple of days before. To schedule this, I called a few times, since he never answers my calls. Just learned that he was bothered for my calls. I always assumed he is a friendly guy and easy to work with. Things changed a lot lately. Hanging weight is a mystery. They can say anything they want. During the last few years, the overall hanging weight doesn't make sense anymore. Smaller cow seems weigh a lot more these days than a bigger cow, comparing pictures. I asked if I could see when they weigh the cow-quarters before processing. He'd always decline that request. TRUST - not sure if it exists anymore. Asked to distribute the cow into seven shares, they never charged us for doing this before, this year, they charged extra ($70) for this service. The meat processing instructions are often messed up. One good thing is that they pack nicely and label them. Overall, very disappointed with their service for two years in a row.

They have a lunch special Monday-Friday and they post their specials for the week on their Facebook page. I got the Philly Steak $7.25 (forgot to take a photo as we ate it too quickly) as it was their Friday special and we quickly gobbled that up so we decided to go for the Dinner for 2 as well. The lady was quite accommodating and allowed me to get 1/2 meatball and 1/2 chicken with pasta. We got 6 homemade meatballs and 2 pieces of chicken along with a huge tray of penne pasta with homemade tomato sauce and parmesan cheese. Large portions and everything was delicious! Try to make it Monday-Friday when the hot food area is open. We were staying at a hotel without a kitchen so didn't get a chance to try their premade meals. We really enjoyed our experience here and the food was great and well priced with good portions.
