Yesterday I picked up some of the Garlic and Gouda brats . . . I hope they keep making them, they are exceptional. Carry on folks, everybody from around here - and beyond, love what comes out of the Schmidt's Meat Market '-)

This is a destination meat store, packed with people on a fall Saturday morning. My husband was…read morelooking for steaks, but we didn't get those, as the marbling wasn't ideal. What the store specialized in was quite clear: sausage. So much sausage. We did get bacon, though, plus gobs of cheese and even a salsa to try. I made one of the bacon packs the next morning, and the quality is incredible. Some of the best I've bought from a store. If I was in the area again, I know I'd stock up on bacon!

Pizza. Gas station. Delicatessen. I have to say Bitzy's has it all. This small town wonder serves…read morehome cooked lunch and dinner specials that will truly amaze you. Take note that they are open M-F only and closed on weekends so plan your next stop accordingly. They've got salads, soups, wraps, sandwiches, pizza and more. Just a reminder everything is fresh daily and homemade! It's great if you are headed to the lake or in a hurry as they also have grab and go items in their display cases. If you decide to "eat in" there is plenty of seating inside. Oh! And I can't forget to mention this is located inside the "Melrose 1 Stop". They offer full service at the gas pumps at no extra charge. Stop by soon and you'll be greeted with a big smile from Bitzy's staff.

For once it's not too good to be true. I read a Yelp review for Bitzy's Kitchen on route from…read moreMinnetonka to Alexandria. My family and I agreed to stop but drove past to Sauk Center. We turned around and drove back as we wanted something home cooked and light before getting into Alex and having dinner. We drove past Bitzy's as the branding is all Sinclair. Melrose One Stop appears on the door in faded letters. On the third pass we found it Super friendly staff explained lunch/dinner is the big meal served until 2 pm. We grabbed a Hickory bacon Chicken wrap, two built to order beef soft shell tacos and a bag of cheese curds. My son reports the wrap was very good. The tacos were simple American version but very tasty and good propositions. My wife said the cheese curds did NOT make her teeth squeak. I highly recommend sticking with the Bitzy branded goodies. I believe the Bitzy stuff is made on site. PS My rating is relative to the value and price of the food. The diner is set up in a convenience store. PSS Thank you Bitzy!

The meat:kraut ratio didn't have enough kraut and the cheese disappeared into the bread, but overall a solid outing. The Thousand Island dressing (fortunately on the side) tasted too strongly of mayonnaise. Luckily I had some and also had extra kraut. Girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do. I ordered the Potato Salad and it was bland but a little hot sauce made it taste good. Texture of the potatoes was perfect.
