The meat case has a handful of selections, as does the sandwich board, 6 sandwiches to be exact: ham, salami, turkey, roast beef, Canadian Bacon, and a sandwich of the week, which was also turkey this week, but with a different cheese than their standard turkey. I ordered the ham sandwich and my friend ordered the salami sandwich. We both added a raspberry paczki. The sandwiches were served on a fresh hard roll and were generously topped. I thought they were a great value for $5.75. I'd like to go back again and shop for Polish food items and soups from their freezer, as well as some of the other items in the store. Note that no one was wearing a mask, except my friend and me, and the store currently limits capacity to 8 customers to help with social distancing.

They also make excellent potato pancakes, and whenever I ask for them extra crispy, they're always happy to accommodate. Lately, though, I've been stopping in just for the bakery items, which are made next door at Periwinkle Bakery. This time, I was putting together a dessert tray for a dinner with friends, so I decided to pick up a variety of treats. They had so many tempting choices that day. We came in planning to buy four desserts and left with eight! We especially love the cannolis. They regularly change the flavors, which keeps us coming back. They're so good!

Today I drive from Milwaukee to have one and when I got to the counter I ordered the pastrami sandwich like I have many times before and I'm smacked in the face with the pastrami sandwich is permanently off the menu for good. I'm told that I could get a Ruben sandwich, WTF a Ruben and a pastrami are two different sandwiches and Ruben's are a dine a dozen. Unfortunately I have no reason to ever go back again because I drove 35 minutes to leave with absolutely nothing.

This is a must for bloodies and brunch in MKE! The Bloody Mary options are great - from a simple…read moreone to a more elaborate option with a slider included! 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. Patio is available depending on the weather The Retail side Had a good selection of cheese and sausages plus alcoholic beverages Mainly street parking plus your competing with other restaurants in the area

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!

So I ordered a muffeletta as I'd not had one since a trip to New Orleans a few years ago - and I remembered loving that little sammich! I got it - unwrapped it back at the office- and it looked and smelled the part! A good sign, right? Well - not quite so fast - while the flavor was mostly ok, it was the bun that was holding up a perfect score. Kind of was falling apart and tasty kinda corn-like. I still scarfed it down because- damn - I was hungry after all! But had to drop a point for the bun which seemed to be disintegrating faster than I could eat it! Nice - fix that bun up and you'll get a perfect five next time!

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.

Please support this wonderful local gem, so we can enjoy it for another 100 years.

It's soggy and doesn't hold up. There absolutely no reason to come here anymore. It was a staple and a must visit. Hasn't been that way in a long time. You know it's bad when they've gone from selling sandwiches to frying fish. It is dead and over for this place.

It took them 25 minutes to make me a pastrami sandwich, which wasn't very good. The pastrami was…read moresteak- thickness slabs, instead of deli slices like I'd expect. It was pretty bland (and I feel pastrami is difficult to make bland, by nature). It was overpriced for what I got - $15 for a typical-sized sandwich, and pickle. And my family of four had to go to a second restaurant for lunch, as only I ate from here... they didn't have anything on their short menu for two of my four, and didn't have the soups listed on their menu for the fourth. Less relevant, but still: the place is really sketchy, dingy. Looks like they cobbled it together halfway, and said 'eh, good enough'. We were not thrilled waiting here for almost a half hour for my meal to be ready. We never would have dined in. My daughter says the women's rest room was dirty and fly-infested.

I decided to give this place to try cause I wanted a corn beef sandwich and I was told that the…read morecorn beef was really good now what I will say is when I go back I probably won't get a corn beef sandwich not that it was nasty. It was just a lot going on.. I think everyone know that it's a little bit of time to actually make the food so the service wasn't quick but it was needed to have fresh food but make sure you do drive because it's not enough place to stay inside to wait for your food

Well, I've been on a quest to find the best Reuben in town, have tried over 75 over the past two years, and figured I'd have to give it a try. The sign doesn't lie.

I have been wanting to try their Italian beef for so long and I'm so glad that I finally did! I got…read morethe regular size, it was fully loaded and way more than enough. The beef was perfectly tender and well seasoned. I got the au jus on the side which I'm glad I did because as fresh and delicious as the roll was, it was pretty soft and not sturdy enough to hold all of that flavorful beef. The flavor of the au jus was incredible and it was nice to be able to dip and pour a little on top as I gobbled down. I also got the tomato salad and marinated mozzarella. The tomatoes were super fresh and juicy and all of the vegetables were crunchy and fresh! I only got one cucumber slice but at the same time I also ordered the smallest size so that's just how the cookie crumbled in terms of ratios. The mozzarella might have been the best I've ever had. The seasoning on the outside was amazing and the freshness and moisture was absolutely perfect. I tried the pizza slice at Brady st fest and it was pretty solid. The sauce had a slight sweetness to it and there was a very nice cheese to sauce to crust ratio. I love a good thick layer of cheese and this definitely had it! The Italian sausage was cooked perfectly and the seasoning was on point! The staff was super friendly and helpful. The inside of the store had a really unique feel, almost like I was in another country. I can't wait to go back to their deli and try more of their delicious food!
