Critic's Review
The mystery is over. Sunrise Meats is finally exposed.
You've probably passed this place 100 times. It's right at the intersection of E Sunrise and Route 95. It's behind a big fence, like some sort of prison. There's no entrance on Sunrise. You have to hang a Ralph at Advance Auto Parts if you're coming from the east. Then hang the first Louie to get to the place.
In a part of town rarely traveled by BMWs, they really love their grass. Even if it's mostly dirt and weeds.
There's a big parking lot. Out front is an SUV; a dude sitting in the car with his amped up sound system cranking at full volume. Oh boy, is it safe for me to go into this place? I really have no idea what to expect.
Upon entrance it's clear that this place is a small supermarket in the mold of Doris Market or Penn Dutch. Just a couple of long aisles, but they have a lot of stuff. The "meat" counter is where the action is. Pretty good prices on most things. The big sale is whole Kingfish for $3.25/lb. You don't really want to eat kingfish. Whole snapper for $5.99.
You won't see Oxtail and Goat Legs with such a prominent displays at Publix. They also don't commit to a brand of cold cuts. Just "Product of the U.S.A.". Could be anything.
It's the only place in town that openly packages pork fatback and chicken backbones for retail sale. I make my own stock and sausage, so these things are a big find. Sausage with not enough fat misses the point.
Looking for alewife or salt mackerel? This is the place. They sell "Georgia Smoked Sausage". A brand of Italian sausage I've never heard of. Pigs Feet, ham hocks. Like you're in some small southern town in Georgia.
Conclusion
If you're looking for a cheap supermarket in Fort Lauderdale, this is it. Just don't expect to buy Thuman's cold cuts or Johnsonville Sausage. No German grandmas buying meat here; but they'll have a few things you'll find interesting.
