It's December 2025 and I Just discovered Nowicki's! Been driving past it for years and only saw it…read moreas a big old building. Well, I was so wrong! It's a 6th generation sausage shop that serves food too. And they're still making homemade sausages! I've never had a better brat in a bun! This is a MUST TRY for anyone who's hungry. True olde world seasoning with no gluten and no MSG. They even have a food truck for catered events.

Coming from out of town I knew I had to check out a local place like this and it didn't disappoint…read more Walking in I had no idea how ordering worked and when I saw a family in front of me getting their order, I'm just glad I could follow what they were doing lol. 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.

I buy gifts for friends on special occasions often and I know I won't ever be embarrassed by the quality. I know it's expensive but everything is nowadays. Great local coffee beans, huge selection including Michigan themed small souvenirs, free wifi, little tables to hang out at .....and totally delectible wide variety of chocolates. 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. Five stars all around.

Worth the visit! Highly recommend stopping if your in the…read morearea. The prices are very reasonable. Their ice cream along with their tea was absolutely delicious. The tea that was tried was the crème brûlée oolong. Took a chance with it as the prickly pear is the top seller but this tea did not disappoint. It is not overly bearing sweet with a nice after taste. The ice cream was called the Mackinac, and it had swirls of chocolate with vanilla and pieces of fudge. The cashier was the sweetest. Super patient, and very kind answering all questions. Definitely will be returning

Aldi. Conflicted. This store is a must, due to high inflation of other retail stores in the area…read more The staff are exceptionally friendly and helpful. Five stars for each of them. 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.

If you speak up the pharmacy workers will threaten you with not providing the service. They may call you names such as, "you are really a piece of work". Lastly, they will flat out tell you, "go somewhere else next time". My advice, don't go to Meijer pharmacy; they do not care about the customer or providing great customer care.

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.

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!
