If I could give this place 10 stars...I would!!! If you are looking for quality (DELICIOUS) groceries at a competitive price, go to Stanley's. If you are trying to source TRUE olive oil from Greece, or TRUE Balsamic vinegar from Italy, go to Stanley's. Looking for some delicious craft food products, go to Stanley's. If you want friendly folks, who are extremely knowledgable about meat and vegetables, go to Stanley's. Ask Chuck or Sherry for a recipe suggestion, they have never given me bad advice. If you want to buy the BEST bacon in the world, go to Stanley's (definitely get some bacon!!!) This little grocery/meat market is just like the little grocers that used to exist all over the country. This is the way that shopping should be. When you want to find a better, more personal, experience than shopping at the "mega-marts", go to Stanley's. Try the ham biscuits, country cooked ham, THE BACON, the beef, or everything else. If it's in Stanley's, it's good….period!
When you visit, you might ask, "What would you suggest?". These are good, kind people that truly care about the product, the shop, and your satisfaction. If you're in a rush, don't like friendly people, and/or are looking for typical junk quality food, go to the typical "mega-mart".
If you're ever in Staunton, or even close, this place is WELL WORTH going out of your way to experience. Say hello to Chuck and Sherry when you walk in. You're sure to walk out with a smile, and some delectable supplies.
P.S.
....Don't forget the bacon!
UPDATE November 2015
Now the talented folks at Stanley Meat Market are making sausages. I'm not talking about breakfast sausage (although they carry b'fast sausage too). I'm talking about Local Craft Beer Flavored Bratwurst, Kielbasa, Sweet and Hot Italian Sausages. These things are DELECTABLE! It is so nice to be able to trust the people making the sausage are sanitary, and that the ingredients are quality. You won't find those nasty bits of bone, or gristle in these wieners. They don't shrink up to a third the size when the overload of fat melts either. The Stanley Market sausages are the perfect ratio of lean meat, and just enough fat to make them juicy and delicious. I would put these sausages up against the European masters. Who knows…Maybe Chuck has some Bavarian in his bloodline. You can celebrate Oktoberfest anytime, thanks to Stanley Meat Market. The Italian sausage are spiced with master accuracy also. If pasta night is on the menu, you won't go wrong with the Sweet Italian Sausages. Try smoking the Kielbasa for an INCREDIBLE sandwich. If you're anywhere near Staunton, go out of your way to stock up on the provisions that Stanley Meat Market offers. You won't regret it!
