Maxwells Market from Baton Rouge in the new ...

Shrimp etouffee is good. Service is pretty bad, and if you ordering out for lunch give them about an hour and then you only have to wait for 20 minutes.

Quality meats, little expensive imo. The good thing is that you know you will be getting a quality cut of meat as opposed to having to guess at most other places.

Fwiw - I like to find a small local grocery that has a butcher, you will get the best cut at the lowest price at that kind of place

they started in Shreveport, original is on Line Avenue.

Serve beer on tap while you shop....not sure thats gonna fly in a WalMart.

It is a meat market....butcher shop with beef, pork tenderloins, etc......recently, they began serving food - but thats not the MO

Their meat is superior to grocery stores. Depending on your options in Mandeville (butcher shops) - this is probably where you should buy your beef.

they are not expensive.

remember, typically with butcher shops - you get what you pay for......thats the reason butcher shops exist - all grocery stores carry beef.

enjoy that rib. i cook 1 for Christmas Eve every year....family wanted a gumbo this year tho, so i didnt get one!

Their seafood is great too. Very fresh tuna, salmon, etc. Some of their pre-prepared dishes are way too salty for my taste.

stopped in last night. have a decent size area to eat in and have a bar to eat at...no alcohol that I could tell. didn't ask for any though.

great place to get a muffaletta as well.

The roasted chicken sandwich is incredible. Wal Mart approached them because they wanted to upscale the meat/deli section in the Neighborhood Market concept. They are looking at doing several others.

I love the ceasar salad so I asked to buy some of the dressing. Gal said sure. Printed a label with a price of about ten bucks, slapped in on a pint container then poured Ken's Ceasar Salad dressing out of a five gallon bucket into it, slapped the lid on said happy eating.

I found it at Wal Mart for like two bucks. Oh well...

I was picking up steaks for a camp trip a year or two ago, and I asked the guy behind the counter for a few ribeyes I pointed out. He picked them up, repriced them in my face for about a $1 per lb increase, handed them to me and then repriced the rest of the box.
