The real star of the show here is their homemade waffle cones. Seriously, do not skip them-they are…read moremade fresh, perfectly crisp, buttery, and honestly make whatever flavor scoop you get taste ten times better. The only minor hiccup? The ordering process can feel a little high-stakes. Sometimes the staff will stand right there, unblinking, staring you down while you're frozen in indecision trying to pick your flavor. It's not aggressively rude or anything, but let's just say it definitely adds some friendly pressure when you're trying to choose between thirteen or so different options! Once you get past the pressure and secure your cone, though, it's smooth sailing. Incredible treats, great location, and those homemade cones alone are worth every single penny. Just maybe look over the flavor list before you step up to the window!

I walked in into this place with my daughters and the young staff did not acknowledge us. Ownership…read moreshould train the young staff to say Hi or Welcome, or would you like a sample? The staff acted like they didn't want to be there. The ice cream was good. My bill came out to $9.01 and I had a 10 dollar bill. The cashier could have easily pulled one of the many pennies out of the tip jar but no she gave me 99 cents back instead of a dollar bill. If the service was great I would have given them that dollar plus a lot more. The moral of the story is work in a factory if you don't want to deal with the public.

Before leaving, i purchased 2 sets of wings, a bunch of brats and some polish sausages. pricing is pretty good (especially for the cooked sausages) but it definitely adds up when buying the frozen items. 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!!!!

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.

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!

The speaker crackled like someone was about to take my order, and then... silence. The girl working, Kacie Sobeck, sat there and completely ignored me. Not because she was busy, not because she didn't hear me--but because she decided to be petty and unprofessional. Honestly, that's not just "bad service." That's straight-up disrespectful and childish. If this is the kind of behavior BIGGBY allows, it explains why this location has such a bad reputation. Coffee shops are supposed to be about customer service--here, you can't even get basic human decency. I'll never waste my time or money at this BIGGBY again. There are way too many other places to grab coffee from people who actually act like adults. This is hands down the worst BIGGBY I've ever been to. This isn't customer service, it's high school drama with a drive-thru.

Sauce was delicious and it was baked well but I didn't care for the crust. I tried to order a couple week ago and they stopped orders for the night. The person on the phone was kinda rude about it. 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.
