I was honestly astounded at how high the prices are for a flea market that's essentially in the middle of nowhere. I couldn't tell if the people at the counter were the owners or just working the register. Either way, they were giving my group major stink eye the entire time we were in there. No greeting despite the fact that I said hello to them when we walked in. I say this a lot but it could have something to do with looking like younger alternative people in a place that clearly caters to an older, more conservative clientele. We walked around, looked for a bit, and balked at the prices. I mean, honestly. This place is packed full of stuff. We were the only people there on a Sunday afternoon. There's no way they're selling this stuff! They do have a fairly wide selection and I would say it's worth the stop just to look around. Lots of authentic antiques and no Temu junk, which is unique in and of itself these days! Stop by if you want? We didn't buy anything and I don't think the stuff in here is worth what they're charging.

I love this thrift store. It is a favorite of mine and my husband's and because it's only open…read more(currently) the FIRST Saturday of each month (in addition to most weekdays I think...probably best to call ahead and find out) we plan any trip to SEK around St. Mary's Goodwill's open Saturday weekends. It's that good. Seriously. VERY clean and well organized thrift store and what they sometimes lack in selection is more than made up for by the friendly service and low prices. I have never walked out of here empty handed and have shopped here on and off since I was a teenager (20 years ago). It is a well run store and the larger stores and secondhand chains could take a lot of tips from them, to be honest! When you walk in there's a dry erase board posted straight ahead with the day's sales on it and they are always a very good variety and offer extra value. I highly recommend this place. It is not hard to find, either. Just a block east of Broadway and a block west of St. Mary's Colgan school in downtown Pittsburg.

I was pleased to find a fantastic mix of high and low here, and all at affordable prices. Very nice booths and absolutely none of them filled with "junk" stock. It's clean and climate controlled and well worth a stop if you're remotely nearby.

So much to love in this store! It offers everything from A to Z, including meat. Real meat. Tasty…read moremeat. And fresh farm eggs, too. Gifts for all ages, home decor, soap, candles, kitchen towels, hair clips, toys, cooking utensils, just to name a few of the items. Many of the items are hand crafted by talented people in the Crawford County area. The store is easy to find on the square across from the courthouse. Parking is free. Exit the highway and check it out. This is a small family-owned business. Be kind and pay cash, if you can.

This review is for the meat. The store is very nice, but I'm a cook, so my interest is I. The…read morefreezers at the front of the shop. I've purchased several ribeyes a couple of fillets, pork chops, stew meat, ground beef, breakfast sausage and both pork and beef brauts. As far as the steaks and chops go, they have been EXCELLENT every single time. Most people are use to grocery store beef which is corn fed. The Painted Barrels beef and pork are family raised and pasture fed locally, and the freshness just stands out! I've never had anything that wasn't perfectly tender and flavorful. The meats always cook nicely both on the grill and in a pan. The sausages are far more flavorful than anything you can buy from corporation, and you can REALLY taste the freshness in the ground beef. The meat is very fairly priced for the exceptional quality, and in my opinion, very reasonable. Can you find cheaper meat out there? Yes... but life's too short to eat Walmart steak, and why not support a small business? It is my plan to start buying pretty much all my beef and pork from Painted Barrels.

Doggie Bag has moved! I can't seem to find an old listing for them on Yelp but I was thrift…read moreshopping this afternoon in Pittsburg and assumed they just closed down. Instead, they are 3 blocks down on the same side of Broadway, in the former "Jean Scene" store. Look for the red awning. Anyway, with that said...I have always liked shopping at Doggie Bag for their low prices and overall higher quality of merchandise, especially regarding women's clothing. The new store is awesome, it is much cleaner and smells nicer and the prices are still low. Kudos to them! The store is really nice and I will probably shop here even more than I did in the past. I am not in possession of full details but I know Doggie Bag operates in support of the Southeast Kansas Humane Society and is a huge source of their funding. I am glad to patronize this business!

This is the…read moreplace to go to find items that are unique to Gorilla Country and not just mass-produced as all the other stores carry. The stock rotates out with the seasons so there is always something new to find and their items will not be found elsewhere. The owners are always friendly and remember us from each time we are back up from out of state which is a nice little factor that shows they care about their customers. The prices are always great along with the alumni and student discounts that are offered along with the sale items.
