Von Hanson's Meats — Local services in Chanhassen

I’m at Von Hanson’s in Chanhassen so often they might as well give me a name tag. This place is everything. The second you walk in, you’re hit with that perfect smell of fresh meats, spices, and pure happiness. The employees are always top tier, but Jacob in particular is an absolute rockstar. He knows his stuff, always remembers me, and somehow makes the experience even better every time I stop by. The guy deserves a raise.

Let’s talk about the snacks—legit next level. I’m addicted to the seasoned pretzels, jerky, meat sticks, and whatever other magic they’re whipping up back there. I’ve tried just about everything they’ve got and it never disappoints. It’s honestly dangerous how good it all is.

Also major props for having a great selection of non-alcoholic beers. It’s such a nice touch and something you don’t find just anywhere.

Bottom line: I’m obsessed with this place. Von Hanson’s in Chanhassen is not just a store—it’s a lifestyle. If you haven’t been, you’re missing...

Poor quality ham for Easter, bought a whole double smoke ham, as I had for many years. This year it was a over brined ham (very salty), and not a double smoke, even if the label stated. I have had many double smoke hams at Von Hanson’s and this was not double smoke. Double smoke are firmer, less fat, and more flavor.

The counter person at Von Hanson’s, was not a butcher or trained for the position. He did not know how to cut the ham in half with the saw. Next he struggled to wrap the ham, it looked like a child wrapped it.

Suggestion, train staff before placing them in front with the customer. Go back to the old quality. I get the feeling the ham is being made cheaper.

Purchased at Chaska...

I choose Von Hanson because I have heard they have quality meat. I went to purchase something and found out that they did not want to be bothered with my business. I must have interrupted the workers routine and felt extremely uncomfortable. Like I was a nuisance for shopping here. Is customer service a lost art? What ever happened to greeting a customer? Wanting to help a customer? I will take my business...
