Rice’s Country Hams - Yes!! Salt cured ham, Christmas is saved! - Grocery Near Me - Mount Juliet, Tennessee

The other 5-Stars reviews are spot on. What blows me away is that there are no reviews from this year! Not going to lie, I was a little freaked out about walking in here. I kept thinking I was walking into something out of a Leatherface movie, but it was quite the opposite. The staff here is very friendly and loved all of the questions we asked. We bought a Christmas ham, maple bacon and a jar a pickled relish and I can't wait to eat it all! The place is small inside, with a few shelves for biscuit mix, jams, and a huge row a trophy's for their award winning hams. They also offer smaller and tasty ham treats for the people not needing an entire ham for dinner. This place has been selling hams since 1933 and has been opened since 1910! It's literally been around for 100-years! I guess you can say they've been doing something right! Ham on, friend! read more

I called the day before Thanksgiving to see if they had any hams left, and they did! I walked in and spent time looking at all the cool stuff n then asked for help on what ham I should get, and I decided on a spiral-cut ham with help from some of the workers (super knowledgeable and friendly). I loved this place! The ham was terrific! It even came with a honey glaze that made it even better! It was a massive hit with my family! We will definitely be getting our Christmas ham here! read more

Absolutely, deliciously, the BEST country ham you can buy. If you're looking for a superior quality (and best tasting) ham for any of your country ham needs, this is the ONLY place to get it. Their ham is true Southern-style done right. Very salty, and extremely flavorful, just as true country ham should be. Don't be a ninny if you buy ham from here... do it right: FRY it. (Cast-iron skillet method) SO. GOOD. Bonus: Free odorizer included! Your house will smell like ham for a day or two! They offer their hams many ways: in small packages perfect for biscuits, as well as half and whole hams, pre-sliced or unsliced. Our family generally gets a half ham every Easter and Thanksgiving/Christmas season. They also have bacon, jams, and other odds and ends, but the hams are beast! (Yes, I meant beast!) Their storefront is extreme cool. When passing by on the road, the building looks half dilapidated, but when you enter, it feels like old-world charm. The near century old shop is the perfect place to serve this delicious ham to folks. The only negative about this place is that they get you hooked on this crazy good ham, then close the store half the year! They're only open for one week before Easter, then Oct-Dec every year. This means they have tendency to sell out quickly! Get yours before I do! Seriously though: Don't waste your money on the big-box store-bought hams that are never really that good. Rice's hams taste just like the amazing country ham I remember my grand-dad making years ago. The absolute best I've had! read more

I have been a customer for 20 years and Rice's has not disappointed me once. I give their ham/bacon/sausage and other products as gifts for friends and coworkers that have never experienced what real country ham is and tastes like. The bacon is nothing less than love on a plate. Get yourself some and welcome to the country read more

My whole family got real sick from a ham from this store. The ham tasted ok but the next 24 hours was awful for me and my two girls. I would never go back. read more

Sorry, but I don't believe the family is carrying on the quality that has resulted in an excellent reputation. We got one to prepare as a boiled ham for Thanksgiving. We soaked the ham for about 36 hours. At this point, there was a distinct odor that smelled just like that of a gut-shot deer when you field-dress it. I wondered at this point if the ham had been properly dressed prior to curing. Nonetheless, we followed the provided instructions and boiled the ham for a minute per pound (which sounded like too little time) and wrapped it for about 20 hours before serving. Well, the smell had not really subsided at this point, but I sliced the ham anyway hoping it would be edible to some measure. The meat was tough (we should have boiled for an hour), distasteful, and way too salty. We also purchased several packs of bacon and a two pound pack of sausage. The sausage was good. The bacon, however, was way too salty. After the first pack, I soaked the others for and hour before cooking and that made them ok, but not great. I won't be buying any more Rice's products.

This place has won best country ham in TN numerous years. It is simply the best there is. Mr. Rice is gone now but his family continues to put out this premium product. I now live 160 miles away and could buy any ham but I drive that far to stock up once a year. I don't even bother trying to find another.....this is the way God meant country ham to be. read more

This place is a Mt. Juliet institution. Go early in the season because once it's gone, it's gone til next year. Makes for great Christmas gifts. read more

This spot is a true jewel. They are only open seasonally (Christmas, Easter), but I think you can order online year-round. I visited during Christmas season. For a small place, they were super busy. But they were well-staffed and kept customers moving. I chose a couple of gift boxes that included a sampler of country ham, sausage, and bacon. They have a good selection of local jams & jellies, and some local cheese that was really yummy. read more
