Frank's Meat Market. Not to be confused with a deli. They have a good variety of meat cuts and a few prepared meats such as: smoked Kielbasa, seasoned chicken wings. Generally speaking the meat is fresh and of good quality. They have little to no selection of cheeses. There is a pair of small refrigerators near the entrance for milk, eggs, butter and a small selection of soda pop. They have a couple of small freezers that usually contain locally made and grown items such as Potica bread and chilies.
Parking is very limited; 5 cars or so. Leaving the parking lot is hazardous because of a building creates a blind spot to the west of Santa Fe drive.
Do not be in a hurry because they never are. Be very careful to track what you order because they have and will overcharge you. The deli clerk does NOT write down price or product description on your packages instead they hand you a card with a hand written list of prices only that you are responsible for handing to the cashier. If you are purchasing more than 3 items YOU write down the product and their respective prices. If there is a discrepancy the cashier will weigh your packages (including the paper weight) and charge accordingly. They try to remain the old style "Mom & Pop" store so expect a lot of chit chat from the store owner and the customer ahead of you while you are waiting to pay for...
Read moreThis place is SO shady. We have a small business and need high temp cheese. We have been buying it from Franks for over a year as they are the only place close we can buy it. We drive in from the Springs to get it. For awhile everything was fine. We would buy a whole case at a time (25 lbs) and the price stayed the same. The price then started to get really inconsistent. One time we would go in and it would be $100 for the case, the next it would be $120, the next $110, the next $95, the next $130, etc. Today we bought some, and whole bag was missing from the case, (when we were promised a whole case) and the price was $140! When asked about it, they just said the price had increased. It had increased that much for not even a whole case? Needless to say this will be the final time we buy from there. We will be ordering online from now on. We are a small business, and were trying to support a small business but we refuse to do business with people who are this dishonest. Please be careful when giving them your money. There are other places that are honest and...
Read moreI love supporting small businesses. But buyer be warned. Today I went in asked for a sirloin . The kid was annoyed because the ones on top looked discolored and dried out. I asked for bacon he gave me the ones that were trown back in. He weighed it on the same scale that the beef was on. WITHOUT putting paper down. Cross contamination! Then I was really paying attention. NONE OF THE EMPLOYEES CHANGED THIER GLOVES. At a different date I asked for t-bones . I watched as the same kid cut off and threw it into a white plastic container. Just thought maybe he trimmed it. Nope got it home he cut off the best part. One bone was perfect the other not so much. I took a picture. And showed the other butcher. He said "oh it's at the end of the cut. " the cut that was perfect was 2 " Thick how could this be. I told him I watched him cut it off. Nothing and shrugged his shoulders. NOT COMMING BACK HOPE...
