I haven't had a breakfast option I haven't completely enjoyed yet - some favs are the breakfast sandwich and the skillet! There is also a small store attached with lots of yummy items for purchase - can make a great gift basket! It gets busy and crowded especially on weekend mornings, so plan accordingly! Not a ton of indoor or outdoor seating, but we've never had to wait too long! You can also take food to go!

Regarding the restaurant side Personally the meatloaf…read moresandwich was okay. Maybe because I didn't care for the cheese and red sauce (ketchup sauce) on my sandwich Partly my fault for not reading the menu closely But they do have a good menu to pick from.

I love, love the Sisters' fruit cake. The price is so reasonable for what you are getting!…read more Quality ingredients with enough pecans that you know these ladies take pride of their product. I purchased a 2 pound Fruitcake for Christmas, but we had finished by Thanksgiving. Have to pick up two more fruitcakes for Christmas 2017. Fortunately the have a few left in their Gift shop. They have to give this Fruitcake a special name so you know you are not getting the imitation cakes everyone purchases for a "gift" when they don't know what to give at the last minute. Absolutely delish.

I had such a wonderful date night thanks to Charcuter-Me! I have worked at wine bars and cheese…read moreshops and gained an appreciation for both - nothing made me feel more proud than watching a table post pictures of a cheese board I'd created for them. Well these boards make mine look like preschool drawings. I ordered the Date Night board, which says it feeds two or snacks four. It was just two of us so picked up a couple bottles of wine to accompany it, and attempted to take credit for doing the whole thing myself. After obviously being called out, I couldn't wait to dig in! The board contained four different kinds of (all awesome) cheeses, four different kinds of wildly different meats, cheese-stuffed olives, dried and fresh fruit, chocolates, nuts, honeys, and jams. It was such a great mix of unique ingredients that I haven't tried - while still hitting those familiar notes that I like. After initially worrying we'd devour it and not have enough, I was pleased when we couldn't even quite finish the board! The only thing that I wish were included that wasn't would be a little ramekin of mustard. Prices were fair, pickup was smooth, and quality was through-the roof. With other boards like dessert, charcuterie cones, and endless possibilities, I will definitely be ordering from here again!

A friend has brought fresh brats to our place a couple of times. Each time the brats were…read moredelicious. Recently we held a brat forward event and tried the traditional, honey mustard, jalapeño cheddar, Reuben and chicken feta. Each type was amazing. The honey mustard was a favorite for anyone who chose it. I tried both the jalapeño cheddar and the Reuben. I love a jalapeño cheddar brat and this is the best! Warm heat and perfect proportion of cheddar and sausage. Delicious right off the grill and amazing reheated later. Enjoyed with pasta for a lunch and with potatoes for a breakfast. I tried the Reuben brat out of curiosity. I am a fan of a Rachel and not a Reuben but gave this a go. It was wonderful. The perfection of flavors and the best cheese bite every bite of the sausage. Also reheated and was delicious as leftover. Could not recommend this place higher.

Bunzels is one of my favorite lunch spots on Fridays. I almost always get the fried cod sandwich…read more It's a great deal, two meaty pieces of cod and all the toppings you'd like for just over $5 on a fresh hoagie... I usually get cheddar, lettuce tomato, tartar, and creamy coleslaw on mine. As you can see from the picture it's usually enough for two meals. Yes, when you walk in around lunch time that deli counter will be swamped, but I encourage you to grab a number and know that these employees are efficient so you won't be waiting that long. Aside from the great lunch specials, they also have great customer service, everyone that works there is really friendly. I love bunzel's!

First time here. I was attending a Yelp Event…read more I was super impressed with the store. I checked and there are lots of stores in the Chicago area but this appears to be the first in the Milwaukee area. It's a interesting concept. Everything is frozen, including meats, fish, vegetables and meals. There is a large selection of interesting, or what might be considered exotic foods. You can get cuts of Elk, Bison, and Venison. They have organ meats and oxtails. They have a large selection of shrimp, and some that are so big that you might mistake them for lobster. For many of the items, there are plenty of choices. For example there is not just one salmon or shrimp selection. They have at least 12 different types to choose from. For different locations, different types, different, and different types of production standards (organic, non-gmo, pasture raised, etc) The store is well organized. All of the standing freezers or wall units are neatly packed and well labeled. Pricing is easy to discern. It's easy to shop and find what you are looking for. I found the help to all be helpful, and friendly. The staff at the registers were patient, and chatty. I bought a couple of items, and looking forward to cooking up the pasture raised chicken (breasts) and the Gulf Coast shrimp. This is not my side of town, so it's a little out of my way. However, they explained that for $29 you can get a year of free deliveries. That's a great deal!

I like that they dey age beef already for you. Quality is good and pricing is on par with most grocery stores so you're getting better quality at a similar price. They have lots of fun local items in the freezer section. If you want to grill out with a nice cut of meat this is your place. Prices won't be crazy high but don't expect this to be on par with a grocery store sale. Also if you want a standing rib roast ask them to cut it off bone and retie it onto the bone for easier cooking.

My recent trip to Rupena's was a bit of a mixed bag…read more We stopped by in search of their chicken salad, some potato salad for a picnic on our boat with friends, and then we were hoping to shop around to pick up a few things for the week. I was surprised to enter and find their shelves all nearly empty. They had signs and it seems as though their business is struggling and they're currently prioritizing the meat counter and deli. Fortunately, we were primarily there for their deli. That said, something to note, this isn't a store I'd stop in thinking I might be able to get a few shelf staples. Their shelves were bare. I went to the deli and clearly the word is out on their chicken salad. They have a sign that explains they are limiting customers to two pounds of chicken salad due to high demand. We got a pound of that, a pound of their mustard potato salad, and a pound of their deilved egg potato salad. The chicken salad was really good. One thing I loved about it was the texture. It was finely shredded which I prefer. It was well seasoned and wasn't overly mayo-y. Of the two potato salads, I thought prefer the deviled egg potato salad. It was good but a bit plain for me. The mustard potato salad, on the other hand, was great with just the right amount of mustard and seasoning. The service was lovely and the prices were reasonable. Get to it.

You can go from the more mild younger cheese to the older sharper cheese as an example (trust me there's a lot of cheese here). I would definitely hit this place up more if I lived in the area.
