I love stopping in when we're in the area. Best beef jerky in the state hands down. Maybe even the…read morebest in the country - prove me wrong! They have coolers of prepackaged meat snacks, cheeses and cases of various meat in different cuts for cooking up at home. This place is top notch and the workers are super friendly and knowledgeable. Not just "hey there tourist" friendly, but genuinely so. If you keep an ear open you'll hear that they aren't having the same scripted conversation with every customer. I find that endearing and it makes me feel more appreciated. The store is fairly large and full of enticing tourist traps like more cheese, candy, wine, sodas, beer and other items. But it's not done in a kitschy sense, more like carefully curated vignettes of interest. Do I fall for these? You betcha! But I mostly budget for all the beef jerky I can carry. Seriously. I found out that I can order online to have it shipped to my house. I wept a little with joy. So, do I recommend that you make a special trip to the Holmen Meat Locker for beef jerky? Absolutely I do. And while you are there feel free to purchase some of their other offerings.

We were on our way out of Wisconsin on a road trip when we realized we wanted to pick up some…read moreWisconsin cheese and that's when we looked up the nearest place to get some and Le Coulee Cheese Castle came up! I'll be honest, I was a little unsure about what we were going to come across when we pulled off the highway into this town, but I'm so glad we stopped into Le Coulee. It was such a nice little shop with a great selection of cheese (and crackers!!!) and other gift-shop type things. The man working (who may have been the owner?) was so incredibly kind and helpful. We left feeling so satisfied that we got our Wisconsin cheese at the recommendation of a cheese-shop owner and had such a pleasant experience there!

This store is cute, but this is Wisconsin and the bar for a good cheese store is fairly high. This…read moreplace did not clear that bar. Many grocery stores in Wisconsin have more extensive specialty cheese selections than the Cheese Castle. This place is 3 refrigerator sized coolers with cheese (and butter and meat). If looking for a wide variety of cheese, keep looking. If looking for a cute store with cheese and candy and such while in West Salem, than this certainly should be a stop you make. Ie, stop if in town, no need to go out of your way to stop, though.

For a very special occasion, while friends and I were in Trempealeau, I ordered a cake from Omega…read moreBakery for 9/2/25. It was indeed a beautiful cake - our group was really pleased. Unfortunately we all agreed that the cake which was supposed to be lemon with raspberry filling had no taste of lemon, was dense and dry and I think the edges of it were way more solid, like chewable. We ended up throwing this expensive cake in the garbage. There is no way to phone this bakery but I did text the owner of our disappointment of the cake And heard nothing in response.

I'm really impressed this place could accommodate our large party without a reservation! We had 12…read morepeople, which included 2 toddlers, and we were seated relatively fast. There's plenty of seating and things to do outside if you're waiting for a table, and they have a bar outside as well. Once we were seated, we ordered drinks and then appetizers. Unfortunately, our section of the table got skipped over when appetizers were ordered (we had a large group; I understand how it could happen), but because of that, our appetizer came out later than everyone else's. We ordered cheese curds, and they were delicious! For my meal, I ordered the shrimp scampi. The garlic toast that came with it was pretty burnt, but the shrimp scampi itself was delicious. It was one of the better meals I had while visiting Wisconsin. Even my 1-year-old enjoyed it! My husband asked for no onions on his meal, and it came out with onions anyway. He was able to easily pick them off, though. Overall, I enjoyed this place and the pretty atmosphere outside. I'd come again!
