An easy drive to Lincoln, where the road to Leon’s Gourmet Grocer will lead you through one of Lincon’s historic neighborhoods studded with stately, well-preserved homes and towering oak trees.

Leon’s Gourmet Grocer specializes in quality meats, produce, sauces, dips, spreads, breads and more . Shopping at Leon’s, I first visit the “Buther Block” where Leon’s skilled meat cutters buy the finest quality of beef, pork, lamb, chicken and prepare only the freshest and high-quality selections for Leon’s customers. Leon’s has an excellent reputation for steaks, and their brats cannot be equaled in my opinion. Then I check out their fresh produce section for lettuces and seasonal fruits and vegetables and the best-in-flavor salad dressings. Condiments draw me over to their aisle in Leon’s, and I pause to admire Buzz Savories Spicy Beer Mustard and Honey Mustard on the shelf.

I travel every aisle of this immaculately clean and beautiful grocery store and appreciate the courtesy of the Leon’s employees and their obvious pleasure in serving the customers.
