This place is awesome! I by far am no chef/cook and I went in there having no clue what I needed, just a recipe. Their staff was so kind and helpful and took the time to explain to me what to do and what type of wine to go with my meal. The cut of meat they provided was excellent-my meal turned out fantastic thanks to their help! They cut the meat perfectly so I had the best piece for my Beef Wellington. The rest he cut into Filets, which were fantastic!

Just. General observation: if you're the only one writing 2 star reviews, it's not because you're the most sophisticated. It's because you're either clueless or are letting a one off color your entire point of view .

Been here several times, always liked what we've gotten.Prime filets and two of their homemade twice baked potatoes, both excellent. They had large frozen femur bones that they cut down for the doggos.The selection at the fresh meat counter is impressive. As is the deli that offers a large array of salads meats and cheeses.Super friendly and helpful butchers and staff.The prices aren't the cheapest, however I feel the quality of everything warrants said price.Highly Recommend!See you next time

I MUST tell you about this terrific store! Their meat (beef, pork, chicken, lamb, seafood, and more) and the clever variety of cuts (like tomahawks!) makes shopping FuN! WAIT: There’s more! Cheeses, processed meats, olives, and WINES! And there’s MORE! They also sell ready-to-eat meals! Grilled Brussels sprouts, pickled eggs, deviled eggs, meat salads (tuna, chicken), Shepherd’s pie, Chicken casserole, Meatloaf, Meatballs, Twice-baked potatoes - and DESSERTS (individual Key Lime pies, Molten Lava bundt cakes, cookies)! Many of their foods are prepared on-site. I’ve not even mentioned their FRESH PRODUCE (peppers, onions, eggs, squash)! And bottled SAUCES, rubs, spices from around the world. While we don’t have a “Green Egg” BBQ, they are a distributor of all things “Green:” racks, tools/utensils, as well as the grills themselves.

On saturdays they smoke ribs for take out. Some of the best ribs I have ever eaten. Meaty and lean. Tender with a bit of a chew. Great ribs. Call in advance to reserve a rack. Not inexpensive but well worth it I'm n sarasota on vacation without a grill but their meat looks great and they have a great assortment of wines. A really great assortment of better wines vEnjoy the ribs they are great

So many delicious options here, for both vegetarians and carnivores. I often buy whatever salmon preparation they are offering, always good. They make their salads and sides in house, again always fresh and delicious. They also sell fresh marinara sauce and fresh pasta. They always have a small assortment of fresh vegetables to round out your meal. You can pick up a bottle of wine while you're there. It's one stop shopping for your dinner, but no lines. Highly recommended.

Meats, seasonings, unique specials, incredible wines, charcuterie, pasta, fresh veggies, sauces and of course everything green egg. With the greatest staff and owner you could ever want to meet. Only the best. Thanks for making our meals sing.

Great service and selection at this Gooden gem in Central Sarasota off 17th and Lockwood ridge rd. Worth the drive from lakewood ranch area. Wine selection is elite. Pricing and meat selection is really good considering the quality and service

Pricey and the food is underwhelming the wine selection great desserts good but I've had more selection and better food in common markets for less.
