R & M Food Market

Located on the north end of Brookston, R&M Food Market is a wonderful grocery store. They are best known for the quality of their meats (motto is: Where Meat is the Main Attraction!) They have a real butcher!
My favorites are their NY strip steaks, sirloins, t-​bones, and porterhouse as well as perfect cuts for pot roast (which I am making today for dinner). They have many cuts of beef and always have 3 grades of hamburger on hand, from standard to very lean, plus pre-​made patties.
Their whole chickens are always great and at a much better price than the big stores. there are pre-​cut fryer parts, or all wings, all legs, boneless breasts, etc.
Pork chops, cutlets, and loin are among the pork products. R&M also makes their own Italian sausage and bratwursts and they are excellent. New additions are bacon brats and jalapeño brats. I should mention they have giant cuts of meat you can take home and cut up yourself and you can have them cut meat to order — you want two-​inch-​thick steaks? No problem!
They have a good selection of fresh fruit and vegetables plus locally grown seasonal favorites, corn watermelon and cantalope. Their white onions are very good. Excellent canned good selection includes national brands and the Shurefine and Value budget brands.
Well stocked dairy and freezer (Prairie Farms ice cream is the BEST, but the pineapple sherbet is good, too!), cereal aisle, paper goods, baking aisle, pet food aisle, detergents and cleaning supplies, good soda pop selection, good and improving win and beer assortment, pretty much all of the basics.
They carry some Mexican and Italian food items though not the depth you would find in a monster store. But what do you want? This is a locally-​owned store with great sense of serving the community. If there is something you purchase regularly, they will do their best to stock it for you.
The have a nice deli with all the cold-​cuts and cheeses, and daily make salads, baked beans, two or three kinds of potato salad, and so on. They also make fried chicken, potato wedges, poppers, and a number of other deep fried items for a quick hot lunch or dinner when you don’t have time to cook. Their nacho cheese is seriously awesome!
You will find their weekly specials listed on the sign out front. I think you will love this great local grocery, its convenience and helpful friendly atmosphere. Whether you’re shopping for the week, for an afternoon bar-​b-​cue, just ran out of baby food, R&M is a great place to shop.
