It has that classic style with lots a chrome and logo that gives you that years-gone-by vibe. Inside they had plenty of seating including a counter (where we sat) and booths. Everyone was friendly and we got our Route 66 Passport stamped. While we were only passing thru on our Route 66 Chicago to Santa Monica journey if we ever happen to be in the area again we will definitely dine here again.

The meat was not discolored, but it had the aroma of rank. I live over 12 miles away. I took it back. They exchanged for a pork roast, but what got me was not one apology or offer to return my money for the trouble. Butcher on duty didn't even seem to mind that the brisket had been found to be bad. No attempt to check stock there or anything. I want this place to succeed, but selling rank meat and not even apologizing for aggravation of not getting to serve it for Sunday lunch was not the kind of customer service that keeps people wanting to shop there.

Reviews for each part of this business…read more Outside - 3/5 - Outside is misleading. Driveway and look is a little rough. Didn't even know this place was around until we were told, and you can easily miss it. Inside - 4/5 - Inside is nice and very clean. Plenty of places to sit. You go past multiple seating areas to the back to order. Food - This can range from 5/5 to 1/5 depending on what you order. We ordered a little of everything off the entire menu. Anything with bread wasn't great. Which honestly isn't a slam at all. It's a bbq meat place. Reality is, sandwiches and things usually are not great at places like this. The specialty dogs and sandwiches were just kinda boring. They were messy, and the great meat flavors were ruined by boring basic bread. Almost all of the meats were AMAZING. Brisket, pork, hot links, and turkey were all fantastic. 5/5 for sure. You can't go wrong with any of these. Plus if you like baked potatoes, this is the place to go. It's at the very top of the menu. The only meat that was really bad was the Italian sausage. They were very very dry and no flavor. All of us took a bite or two, and we tossed the rest in the trash. Their Mac and cheese and their broccoli casserole were both great. We got the brisket jacked Mac, and it was fantastic. Summary - it's a bbq meat place. Stick with pure meat as much as you can for your main and stay away from all the pointless filler meals with bread and buns. Order yourself a lot of meat, some Mac and cheese, and maybe a spud. Can't go wrong. Service is super friendly, you can call in your orders, and they also do catering.

They fry your hamburgers on a flat surface grill right in front of you!! The menu is simple but to the point. The burgers are small, but DELICIOUS!!! You have options to order a single, double, or a triple! There's also a special burgers with a twist! For example, the burgers adding bacon or ham. They also sell hot ham and cheese! Oh! They have grilled cheese sandwiches as well! A nice comfort sandwich! Some of their burger names are: Pig "N" Bull, Sow "N" Cow, or the Farm! No french fries! They do sell chips and sodas. Overall, a FANTASTIC experience! The ladies cooking the burgers as we waited chatted with us. They were very friendly and made us laugh! While this place is small, it is well worth the trip!

The business card refers to this business as Pallucca's Italian Meat Market and Catering. I would…read moreclassify it as a deli instead of a grocery. I've been confused about this business since news of the grocery store closing a few years ago. If you just drive by on Frontenac's main drag, it looks like the business is still closed. But on the west side of the building is the new entrance. It seems they just blocked off the front part of the store to save on utilities. The heart of the business is the meat counter, for which Pallucca's was always famous. You'll still find Pallucca's famous sausage. I was pleased to find the three types of italian cold cuts that I use to make muffalettas - which I'd previously only found at Tulsa's Fresh Market. There are lots of italian specialties, including several varieties of ravioli and homemade spaghetti sauce. They also carry the famed Frontenac Bakery bread. Also in in the meat counter are ready-made deli sandwiches (featuring fresh artisan bread) and salads. We really liked the cuban sandwich, which was big enough for two people. They grilled it in a panini press, which made it better than imagined. There are tables for dining in, and there and bottled soft drinks. Lunch specials are offered from 11 - 1 Monday thru Friday. Normal hours are 9-6 Monday thru Saturday, closed Sunday.
