This Shell convenience store/station sits right on a prime scenic lot on Highway 42 overlooking the…read morebay.  I couldn't believe that they had the same $3.899/gal price for regular 87 octane that matched the cheapest price anywhere in Door County at this time.  I've seen Shell prices at a lot of places over the years in both the US and overseas, and they're ALWAYS one of the highest priced brands, ha.  I had to fill up here just for grins, even though I really didn't need to.  It was an old style pump too, with no card reader, no digital screens, and I was flabbergasted and paralyzed for a moment!  I thought, well, I guess have to go in and give them my credit card for a prepayment.   But nope, Andrea the clerk inside, just says fill it up and come back and tell me how much it was.  Ha, a total old school honor system here, and a nostalgic trip to the past.  I'll go with 4 stars.  Now if they had an attendant come out and check my oil dipstick and clean the windshield and pump the gas, I'd go with 5 stars 4sure! ps - Inside the building, they have a standard, small convenience store with pre-packaged goods, i.e., no hot food.

The cherry pecan cheese roll had mild blue-veined cheese with dried cherries, loved the complexity of this appetizer and the crackers were nicely baked. for the main, of course we did the Dovetail Burger which is served with fries. This burger was enormous, and the bacon jam added a nice sweetness, almost felt like a BBQ type burger. We indulged and conquered the burger, and had room for dessert. I was the odd one out and got the Cherry Pecan Bread Pudding, it was warm and served with whipped cream, caramel, and was a great way to end the meal.

Well I've now been to a Piggly Wiggly, a grocery store that has long been spoken of in family lore…read moresince my mom grew up in Wisconsin. I appreciate that it is what it is--a grocery store. It's a reasonably sized store, because that's what they do--they don't sell sushi, or have a a huge deli and bakery and butcher and all. They have an alcohol section--of course, this is Wisconsin after all--and it's not small for the size of the store. It was easy to shop, and they have t-shirts/onesies/sweatshirts in case you need some PW merch.

Here's how we use them: Come in for a high quality sandwich, made the way you want it, pick up some sides and drinks, then take it with you to your favorite picnic space! Great quality meats and fresh veggies, friendly service, and just an all around great place. Though they have space to nosh inside, this is less welcoming. I'd not worry about eating in, and just get outdoors!

I give 'em credit - these guys lead the way on local gas prices. I was conscientiously watching gas prices driving through the peninsula just for familiarity if nothing else. On 10-13-2022, this place had the lowest price period, at $3.699/gal for 87 regular, and for a major brand to boot. On the following day, 10-14-2022, I noticed several stations in a multi-mile radius dropped their prices by about 10 cpg to match, woot woot. $3.699/gal was still holding though as lowest in the vicinity. Kudos, Parv J, kudos. I'll visit again sometime.

Our family has always said that if you can't get it at Bley's you don't really need it! Probably the most important thing about Bley's is it's owners, Wayne, Paula and now their daughter Angie Bley. They are the salt of the earth and they will do whatever they can to help you, above and beyond groceries. Second in importance are Wayne's skills as a butcher. The family also farms and Wayne butchers his own meat. It's outstanding! Wayne's brats are not to be missed! At the end of the summer we take home a freezer full of them. He also does a fresh ham cut that I've never seen anywhere else. Slow cooked with garlic it's a taste of heaven.

This place is awesome…read more There aren't many straight up butchers around the country anymore, but Bley's has one and it's hands down got to be one of the best around. The ground beef, brats, italian sausage and filets are some of the best I've ever had and are cheaper than the mass produced crap that's sold at Jewel or Dominick's. Beef tenderloin/filets - $9.99/pound is insane. Comes stright from their farm to the store so you know exactly what you're getting. We bring a large coolerful of meat from here every trip up. Looking forward to going back up in a couple months so we can stock up again.
