I've been coming here for years to get my steaks. Â When my dad first told me about this place and said to go to the butcher shop in the back of the gas station, I was skeptical. Â But this place is a hidden gem. Â They can cut to order, or they have a good selection in their meat case. Â They also have frozen meat, poultry, fish, and vegetables (onion rings, etc.) in the frozen food case. Â In their refrigerated case, there's a good selection of local vegetables. Â The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because they don't carry grass-fed beef.
There's a deli where you can get cold cuts or cheeses made into a sandwich to eat there or by the pound to take home.
Tip: look like a regular by knowing to pay for your Kelly's purchases at the gas station register.
Kelly's Butcher Shop resides in the back of a gas station/convenience store. They have a fair selection of meats, to include lunch meats and cheeses. Full service butcher services are limited, and most special curs can't be done immediately. Caution when making special/unique orders. My wife ordered seven pounds of sliced pork belly, which was promised to her the next day at 4:00 PM. At the time of pick-up, they told us that not only was the order not ready, but that the pork belly had not come in that day. Said they "forgot" to call and let her know! Â Good thing she didn't need it for a party! Â
They do have a deli on site, and appear to do pretty good lunch business. But I can't comment on that, because I didn't partake. But judging from the number of people there, it must be pretty good.
More to come, if I am suddenly impressed with their customer service.
Known locally as "The Four-Oh," (it's off old US 40), this is a gas station / mini-mart / butcher and sandwich shop. The selection of wine and beer is pretty good, certainly good enough  to forego a midweek trip to a larger grocery. The sandwich shop, which you can enter through the gate on the south side, offers reasonably priced fare and friendly service. Check out the freezer case for good deals on meat. The prior reviews about the filet mignon are correct; I'm not sure that you would believe my report of the price I found, so I'm keeping it to myself.
Review Source:Ever heard of getting your gas and your meat all in the same place? Well, I hadn't until some friends of ours recommended that we go to Kelly's Butcher Shop. We stopped by over the weekend and stocked up on kabobs and filets for a BBQ we were having. Like everyone else has said, the selection is great and the prices can't be beat! If you're planning on grilling, this is the place to go.
Review Source:Great little deli and butcher shop will some hellaciously good sale prices and first rate meats. The service is friendly and they know their meat. The only warning is their breakfast sausage. It's pretty lean but it's ungodly salty. If they'd cut back the salt and add some sage, thyme and pepper it would rock. I get them to run a pork butt through the grinder and add my own spices at home. Â They are in the back of the convenience store/gas station and have really unique things that you can't find anywhere else.
Review Source:GREAT prices on bacon wrapped filet mignon...anywhere between $6.99 and $8.99 per pound. Â I have to admit that at that price I don't get much else here ;)
I do get their lunch specials for carry out from time to time. Â They fax the sheet to our office every two weeks!!! Â It's the normal soups and deli sandwiches along with a comfort food type option as well. Â on Fridays they are usually grilling burgers, brats, and pork steaks too!
We have them cater our office Christmas party each year and they do a great job. Â Huge shrimp for a shrimp cocktail platter and a great selection of deli sandwiches. Â The also have good specials in there deli meats and cheeses so what their ads in the local newspapers! ;)
Where else can you get a bacon wrapped filet for $9.99 per pound? Â This is a great butcher shop! Â You don't see many of these around anymore. Â The only weird thing about this shop is it is located in a gas station but I guess that's what you get for being in the middle of Southwest Illinois. Â You can't get better meat. Â They have homemade brats and sausages too!
