I was searching for a turkey on Saturday & EVERY PLACE seemed to be SOLD OUT! I ordered one on line Sunday morning & then got a call from that store, to tell me they actually didnt have any! I called every place I could think of & the same reply, We are SOLD OUT
Johnnys Meats & Deli was my last straw.
Spoke with Shannon the ASM & she said her last one goes to the person who gives Johnnys a 5 STAR rating. I am IN!!
Done & done! Thank you SO MUCH Shannon, for making me the happiest & most grateful customer EVER!! You ROCK!!

Love this place but bought 2 steaks tonight and they tasted just like pure salt. Not sure what happened they were 2 different steaks aswell. 3 stars just cause the staff was cool but the steak was like chewing on a salt block.
