Cucumbers, apples, tomatoes, melons, lettuce you name it. It's there and the size is great! Better than you're average Meijer or Walmart produce. They even have bird and animal feed! Trying to get some meat? Boy are they packin! Huge portions and options: steak, chicken, pork, burgers, beef and all things poultry. Impressed was an understatement. If you need some spirits they got what you need! Pints to fifths and more. They have beer, snacks, and other common food staples. It's not your Meijer but what you need food wise is there, definitely give it a go! Worth it! I was very impressed and am sad I don't have one closer to home.

We have to go through Alpena to get to our Northern MI place way up US23. To be honest Alpena is…read morekinda boring with not much going on (I'm being nice) but this store puts Alpena on the map! Perch's (right on S.US23 = convenient) is a small family owned grocery store with recent improvements, they just added a cute coffee shop inside the store. Nice touch. The meat counter is very special! Great guys work back there and are eager to help and make small talk while you wait. The meat is the best quality in the area and very reasonably priced. They will de-bone your chicken, split it and skin it with no extra charge. They have a good selection of quality home grown produce as you can see in my pics. Huge brussel sprouts! Best part? They carry Plath's bacon and ham! Nice and clean and I never smell meat rotting like some grocery stores (you know the smell). Very busy at times especially during lunch because they sell homemade lunch items like sandwiches, salads and soups, homemade brownies, carrot cake and lots of other stuff. I just like the small hometown feel serving up impeccable service! Can be pricey but they run good sales, I got a pound of freshly sliced Eckrich (however you spell that!) Hard Salami for $2.99, they had coupons right at the counter running with the sale. It was delicious! Good Beer run place, too!

When I ordered last week I found that person was not very friendly either. That's a real turn off for me. Also, I found both times they don't pick up their phone so it took me a few tries each time to get through which was frustrating. An online menu would be helpful too rather than Facebook.

Love the convenience from parking to shopping. Never crowded and always fully stocked. Also, very clean. I find Meijer to be horrible as far as crowded and low staff at registers. $$$ Aldi less expensive, except for brand names. Walmart is a really good match price wise but again long walk and crowded - too much for me at times. The problem is the food, if it's not brand name (very expensive here); it is mostly poor ingredients such as Aldi brand stuffed white sandwich cookies, you know the brand. I had to throw them away they were so inferior tasting to the real thing. I don't care for their watered down canned pumpkin. But if you look there can be goodies here and there. Even when it says organic I find the taste "off." But then, I grew up on Whole Foods so I am spoiled. Some items are definitely way cheaper than other stores such as basics like produce. For some reason they don't carry skim milk in a gallon? But their coffee cream is excellent. Their organic corn chips are delicious. Frozen crinkle fries are very light and not oily. They have a good cheese selection. Bread tastes a little bland but not a bunch of bad ingredients - so good for me. Also I use their cleaning products but they seem somewhat watered down. I don't care because well? ...way cheaper here. Many times I skip the larger stores so I can get in and out quickly, a huge plus for me at Aldi. So hit or miss but a must.

The spicy, sweet chai cuts through the rich coffee, and adding that extra shot gives it the heavy-duty jolt you actually need to survive a massive grocery run. It's dangerously good. While sipping on that, I always end up wandering over toward the gift and home sections. They consistently have the cutest homemade-style gifts, local touches, and unique souvenirs that you wouldn't expect from a big place like Starbucks. Whether you're looking for a sweet local keepsake, quirky little trinkets, or a last-minute gift basket item, their selection of artisan-style goods and seasonal knick-knacks is surprisingly robust.

They gave me a free sample of their caramel butter popcorn and I thought I would die right then and there! So I bought a bag of cherry cordial chocolate covered popcorn for a friend.

The feels are like a homestyle store front where the employees really get to know their customers. Overall, you have to come here if you're in Alpena!!!!

They have 6 types of sausages for the picking and they're: Festival Classic Potato Spicy Cajun Sauerkraut Cheddarwurst Beer Brat Not sure if they rotate the flavors though. Anyways, picked a bun and a Festival Sausage (From what it tasted like, it was bell peppers infused. Next up they had a topping station and it was all the condiments you could think of putting on a hot dog. I specifically got this Corn Relish and it was dreamy, the sweet snap of the corn with the hint of relished veggies .(Highly recommend) At the end of the counter is where you'll pay and it's simple as that. The whole process reminded me of chipotle but a self serve version and with hot dogs. There's also an ice cream shop adjacent to the counter and if you're feeling sweet after a savory hot dog, then it's the perfect place for salty and sweet lovers.
