Client Review on Stoddard's Meat MarketCatering

Feedback:

I’ve been in Stoddards many times after living in Cottage Grove and being a hunter and avid griller/smoker. I quit going there a while ago and was reminded why this morning after I found a BB in some VENISON sausage I was cooking for breakfast. There have been multiple occasions of disappointment:1- I’ve gone in there asking for help on how much brisket I should prepare for a certain amount of people. I get the answer from Jerry (owner) “It depends on how much you want to spend”. I’m not worried about money, but I don’t want waste and I want to have enough. He didn’t have an answer for me, so I guessed and he gave me two prepacked briskets.2- I’ve chipped a tooth on what looked to be a metal part of a blender from sausage.3- I’ve had to call and ask if my deer is done, which is has been for weeks.4- I called ahead to ask if someone would be there to cape my deer so I could get it to the taxidermist ASAP, I was told yes. I got there 1.5hr before closing time and was told by Jerry that his workers shouldn’t have told me that. He said “We can hang it until the capers come back sometime next week” and he then walked out the door to go home. WHY could he not take 12 minutes to cape it himself and get me out of there? He is a butcher correct? He basically threw his employees under the bus and went home for the day. I Made a comment to his employees about it and they seemed to scared to respond. I LEFT with my deer and have never been back.5- The sausage is okay, you can get better at many other places, but I prefer to support local business.... but Nope.6- I BOW hunt private property and have shot multiple deer since I’ve been to Stoddards. Why am I finding a shotgun BB in my venison sausage this morning? To me, that’s more of a question that the State of Wisconsin should be investigating.I rarely leave reviews, good or bad, and I understand mistakes, but this has been years of disappointment. I’m thinking about throwing the rest of my processed deer from Stoddards out because I obviously don’t know if it’s even my deer and I don’t want to have my kids teeth broken.
