Local Grand Rapids business that has been operating for 20+ years. The owner is a true testament to the Westside community, and continues to service the area with fresh meat and hospitality. I highly recommend supporting this local business that has continued to supply not only fresh, but high quality meats. #LiveGR

Very reasonably priced and they sell cool boutique suet bags too. I called them, they smoked a small spiral for me I picked it up the next day, 2 days before thanksgiving, Best ham I ever had in my life and I am old. Not normal ham, this is luxury ham on another level that will shut up people that complain a lot. Looks like no parking from the street but there is when you driveway up around back. Getting good work out of you hammers lately.

Simple classic home made sandwich with a root beer and some honey sticks. Great service and food for an affordable price. Highly recommend for an amazing lunch. Since 1932 still keeping the American lunch alive.

Home town, West Side, best eats & meats says it all!! Where else can you get a $5 box lunch with homemade honey baked ham, a side & a soda? Thick cut smoked chops, homemade brats and sausages, preseasoned chickens and more. And a nice bone for your pup!! You’re going to be glad you stopped in. 😉

Wow! I'm glad I stopped in on a whim. I got a sandwich lunch ($7.50). Included a well crafted sandwich, bag of chips, and a soda. The smoke on the ham was excellent. The wholewheat bun is fantastic and the lettuce and tomato were fresh. I also got a slab of their beef jerky....awesome!!

Do not buy your ham here we bought a ham from Vandenbrinks and then froze it until Thanksgiving and then cooked it in the oven and it was gross even though the directions that you get with the ham said that you can freeze it and then cook it in the oven too expensive for not good quality oh and if you're buying pig ears for your dog they're way too expensive

Great meat choices! Family run and has-been a staple of the west side. Covid has been rough for all small businesses. The pizza shop closed, just up the road. Visit and keep small businesses around.

I heard about this place after my co-workers purchased some hams from them for Easter and raved about how fantastic the ham was. Cut to 6 months later and we finally grab some of the box lunches that are listed on the menu. I am so impressed!! It was perfectly portioned and absolutely delicious. When you first look at it, you think that the box lunch is small, but it is just the right size. Filled all of us up and we are incredibly satisfied!

Visited this sweet little shop for the first time today and was very impressed. The ham boxed lunch was a STEAL at $5 and delicious and the smoked turkey jerkey was amazing! Will definitely be visiting more in the future - great selections, great food, and great service!

Best smoked meat in town! Love the shop and hope it’s there forever. Try the ham, pineapple brats, and dog bones.

This is the only ham that we allow in our lives. The right amount of flavor and smoke. A very enjoyable product. Oh and the folks are helpful and courteous.
