I drive 2 hours for rag bologna and souse meat. The best deli for old-fashioned lunch meat.
Our friends kept telling us to try Latham's. We finally did and we love it! So far we have only bought ribeyes, pork steaks, potato salad and coleslaw. We will definitely make this our go to place. All of the workers are very kind and helpful!
Trying some of those dinosaur bones today. Picked up the 40 pound deal couple weeks ago . Sirloin was Excellent
Excellent barbeque and meat and three, with an attached butcher shop and an amazing staff to match. I will be back, the barbeque is fantastic and I want to try the rest. Carla, thank you for helping me out today! You made a wonderful experience for a first timer!
The pulled pork barbecue sandwiches are the best, especially with the hot sauce which is not too hot.
Always great service. They have the freshest meats at good prices. I always grab a lb of bacon and of ground beef whenever I stop in. The lunch plates are huge and very affordable! And the food is always delicious. The pulled pork will melt in your mouth!
Love everything they have here.. there isn't anything you could get that I could say anything negative about. Only negative is that I can't eat here every day lol!!
Latham’s is everything you want in a local dining experience, authentic, generous, and rooted in tradition. The food is absolutely amazing, and the portion sizes are more than generous, one serving could easily satisfy even the heartiest appetite.
