Sausage cooler 1.  Awesome.
Chris G.

Absolutely on point for a sausage shop. So many choices of not just sausages but pickled items, etc. Looks like they are working to gather (or have been working) the lunch crowd. Several large roasters were in use while we were there and people filtering in to grab a bite. I picked up a package of Polish sausage to try for dinner and it was so good. Browned with some caramelized peppers and onions? Oh yeah. Just delicious flavor and great snap with the casing. Prior to leaving for Indiana we stopped and bought another $50 worth of meats for the freezer. Had some last night and reminded me I forgot to review! The sausages are vacuum sealed and ready for the freezer. Brown and serve. We will certainly return next time in Alpena to restock the freezer and try some different meats.

Cuban brat with mustard. So. Damn. Good.

My partner and I were driving around exploring the area when we stumbled across this place. My partner loves German food so we figured why not. The layout is self-serve and the super friendly (and handsome) gentleman at the counter, Jason, was full of recommendations about about the sausages and condiments available. The dining room is small but clean and cozy. I'm not a huge bratwurst fan but the Cuban brat is BOMB. I enjoyed it so much I felt the need to high five my new pal Jason for giving such a good recommendation. He was also full of knowledge about the cool old building and the other products they sell. It was such an awesome experience that we'll definitely be back!

The brats in the 'warmer' are often cold. Like inedible cold. We threw the last ones away and won't be back.

Great brats and faster than all the typical fast food chains. Quality and value. It's worth the stop

The 45th beer brats were cooked by the shop in beer so I could brown them over charcoal and serve...

Loved it! Came in from out of town for some liquor and couldn't help but notice the other hidden…read moregems! Produce is fresh, big in size and small in price. 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!
