    I've been a customer at Gaff's for years, but my recent pre-order experience has unfortunately…read moreended that relationship. I ordered 5 lbs of bone-in short ribs weeks in advance for Thanksgiving--at the staff's own suggestion when I inquired about availability. I provided my pickup date and time as requested, and received two confirmation calls leading up to the holiday. Despite all this preparation, the actual pickup was frustrating and disorganized. When I arrived at my scheduled time on the day before Thanksgiving, the shop was using the standard take-a-number system that completely ignored appointment times. The chaos was predictable--dozens of customers were there for pre-orders--but the system failed at multiple points. Numbers were called too quietly in a loud, crowded shop, and the LED display wasn't consistently updated. Staff gave customers mere seconds to respond before moving to the next number, causing people to be skipped repeatedly. I waited 40 minutes past my scheduled pickup time. When I finally reached the counter, my order wasn't prepared. After weeks of advance notice and multiple confirmations, they had a 3 lb package and a 12 lb package available--neither matching my 5 lb order. I settled for 6 lbs (half of the larger package), which required additional cutting and another 10-minute wait. What's most disappointing is that this was entirely preventable. The day before Thanksgiving is obviously their busiest day of the year, but it's also completely predictable. Pre-orders were advertised in-store for over a month. Simple measures--dedicated staff for pre-orders, a separate pickup area, orders prepared ahead of time--would have prevented this chaos. Instead, the staff seemed dismissive when confronted with their lack of preparation. I understand holiday rushes can overwhelm any business, but this wasn't a rush--it was a failure to plan for a workload they actively solicited and had weeks to prepare for. For a business that asks customers to plan ahead with pre-orders, I expected them to do the same. I won't be returning.

    This is one of two locations of Gaff's Quality Meats and Specialty Foods. I believe the original…read moreone is in Port Orange, Florida and this location is a bit east in DeLand. Since I heard such great things about this butcher and since I would be driving by (well, actually I was driving down Interstate 4 and it was only about four miles off the highway), today would be the day I would check this place out. By the way, I have not been this way for quite some time and it certainly has changed and grown. Anyway, I pulled into the parking lot of Gaff's and found it to be an attractive stand alone building. Parking was good and the exterior was clean and inviting. Walking into the establishment, I found it to equally clean and the store was well situated and again, very inviting. The staff was nothing short of incredible and customer service was definitely a high priority with the management here. I was continuously greeted by the team and they were extremely attentive without being overly so. There is a deli counter, a seafood counter, the shelves were filled with great specialty items and the meat counter, where the emphasis of this business lies, was filled with some great looking beef, pork and chicken. I am a huge fan of sausage, so I gravitated towards there. The friendly young man behind the counter recommended the hot Italian sausage, so I got four of them (which was well over a pound). Since I like spicy food, I also opted for their bratwurst with serrano and cheese. I should have also gotten some of their lean ground sirloin, it looked great. I had the spicy bratwurst today. I had it with thinly sliced cooked onions and a quality mustard and while I have had better, it was definitely very good. I would definitely recommend here and will return here. Great service and very good quality food make this place a winning combination. Check it out. I am sure that you will be a fan of this establishment.

    Ray's Quality Meats has been serving this community for fifty years, which is an accomplishment for…read moreany business, but with the quality of the food and the friendly, attentive and professional service this staff offers its customers, it is easy to see why Ray's has succeeded and makes you wish them success for another fifty years. It is a small shop and gives a cluttered feel. The one cash register just adds to the claustrophobic feel, kind of thrown in the center of a small room. Prices are either competitive or high, but to be fair, the quality of the meat is definitely there and they make their own sausages and grind their own ground beef in house. In a corner, kind of obscured by shadows is their deli where you can get your cold cuts or have a sandwich made for you. They also have pre-made dinners for you to bring home. They also offer sauces and spices. Some of the spices also bear the name of Ray's Quality Meats. They either make them themselves (or just private label them). I also commend them on their longevity especially considering they ate on Route 1 in a part of Ormond Beach where many of the businesses stay closed with the exception of Bike Week and Biketoberfest. The rest of the year it is more akin to a ghost town than a community. Fifty years is a long time to be in business. But with a quality product served in a friendly and professional manner, it is not only easy to see why Ray's Quality Meats has been around so long, but you find yourself cheering for them to last another fifty years or better.

    The food is absolutely amazing,delicious, fresh, hand Made sausage,100-% certified angus beef…read more NEVER FROZEN from the packing house straight to them, when I walk in there it's kind of hard to make a decision on just one thing and the butcher Tom tied me a bone in rib-eye roast in about 30 seconds. As we all watched in amazement this 6"2 ish New Yorker cut a fresh whole chicken into quarters in no time . The service was second to none and the one employee I never saw there b4 walked from behind the counter and personally handed me my whole order and thanked me !!!!!! Rays is the place to go for high quality food, service, and a great addition to my top 10

    Visited Porkies on inWednesday night. I had the two meat platter - pulled pork and "killer ribs"…read moreand Rick had a half slab of baby back ribs. The pulled pork was excellent - smoky flavor permeated the meat. My portion had some burnt ends along with the tender shreds. The "killer ribs" are meaty with a dry rub. Rick's baby back ribs were moist and flavorful. He opted for Cole Slaw and baked beans for his sides. Cole slaw was fresh, crisp and with a vinegary dressing. Baked beans tasted like Bushes straight out of the can. I had the mac and cheese - hard to go wrong there - and the dirty taters. Delicious.

    These are certain states we all know as BBQ States, FL ain't one and DeLand, FL isn't even the…read moretwinkling of a thought UNTIL you meet Porkies Between my partner and I, we had the ribs, sausage, brisket, chicken, chopped pork, green beans, baked beans, dirty potatoes, French fries, garlic bread and cornbread. Let's cover em one by one --- Sausage perfectly smoked, the skin still had a nice snap Ribs fell right off the bone, wonderfully tender Chicken (if you read any of my other reviews you'll find I'm a self proclaimed chicken snob cause restaurants always kill it) skin wasn't too fatty, smoke and spice went all the way through the meat, could see the moisture still totally intact *chef's kiss* Chunked pork moist, Smokey, melts in mouth Brisket tender, good bark, dances on the tongue Baked beans brown sugar molasses base but now overly sweet, a lil bland (personally believe this is done on purpose) till you add and stir in the BBQ sauce of choice Green beans true Southern style with mix of pork and bacon French fries, great crispy outer and soft center I just needed to add a lil more salt Dirty Potatoes not cooked to death, still had a lil snap in the skin, the smoke level, the spices ....I will be gathering all my chefy skills to attempt a recreation at home Garlic bread OMG amazing, so much garlic, absolute perfection IMHO Cornbread, never had anything like this, it was like a corn cupcake, soft, moist, buttery and an hour later still on my tongue Sweet tea, true Southern style and near diabetes causing, wanted to steal the whole container We wished we had room for dessert but my 2 meat and my partners 3 meat had us each bringing home leftovers. The value for the money is stupendous. Love the decor, a number of giggles were had, the staff was super friendly. I don't know if we'll ever have the power to drive past and not stop in again.
