Braker's Market — Local services in Eureka

This is my first time visiting Brakers market, they are a family-owned business located just west of Eureka, Illinois. I've drove by a few times, and I've seen the beautiful chairs and tables sitting outside, so I was looking forward to finally see what they were all about! I saw that they were having a fall celebration, so it was a great opportunity to go and check it out! They offer a wide selection of goods including furniture, decorations, deli meats & cheeses, seasonings, meats, candy, foods, baking ingredients, baked goods, fresh peanut butter, apple cider, made-to-order sandwiches and donuts, toys, clothes, and so much more! Today, they had samples of a lot of the things they sold, which was nice to be able to taste before buying. They were making fresh made to order Donuts right there in the parking lot today, so we had to try those out, although high in sugar, they were some of the best donuts I've ever had. This will be a place I visit regularly now since they have so many different types of products not to mention the cafe that they have there on site. Next time we'll have to try out one of...

Cancel this review. Since i posted over year ago. Food has taken a nose dive. Today July 27 around 1pm. Again long line. Nice people. But did not hear one great comment. Instead ladies were quietly folding sandwiches back up in the paper wrapping. This wIll be my last visit to a place used to love . The BLT IN NO WAY RESEMBUILD SUCH A EASY SANDWICH. OK THE BREAD WAS TOASTED. THE STUFF THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE LETTUCE WAS LIGHT BROWN WITH NO CRUNCH. TOMATOES LET ME LOOK AGAIN. NOPE NOT EVEN A LIGHT PINK. SLICED SUPER THIN. MORE LIKE SHAVED. THE BACON WAS TINY BIT BROWN. MOSTLY JUST SLICED EXTREMELY THIN. THIS ENTIRE SANDWICH SHOULD HAVE BEEN EMBARACING TO SELL. THIS VISIT OVER ALL WAS TERRIBLE. ONE YEAR AGO BRAKERS WAS THE PLACE TO VISIT. TODAY ITS THE WAVE AS YOU PASS BY... MY OLD REVIEW READNicest people. Best super CLEAN Deli. Perfect place for ladies lunch out. Great FROZE PIE SORRY HAD TO DROP FROM 10...

The pros and cons of this place are many. I have gotten attitude from more than one employee. I live local and find the amount of traffic to be worrisome. I worry that the amount of customers in the store could be over the amount that is safe. I also find the new room at the back of the store without an exit scary. I would also like to say this is not an Amish store. It may be like a couple stores in Arthur, but it is definitely not Amish.The prices are a bit high, but expected. I do appreciate the deli and the fresh ground Peanut butter. They have some hard to find food items. The fresh baked offerings are pretty good. Edit the back dinning room without an exit has been walled off. I do still worry about the amount of people in the store and the parking on the rode. My star rating has...
