The meat case has a handful of selections, as does the sandwich board, 6 sandwiches to be exact: ham, salami, turkey, roast beef, Canadian Bacon, and a sandwich of the week, which was also turkey this week, but with a different cheese than their standard turkey. I ordered the ham sandwich and my friend ordered the salami sandwich. We both added a raspberry paczki. The sandwiches were served on a fresh hard roll and were generously topped. I thought they were a great value for $5.75. I'd like to go back again and shop for Polish food items and soups from their freezer, as well as some of the other items in the store. Note that no one was wearing a mask, except my friend and me, and the store currently limits capacity to 8 customers to help with social distancing.

I have been going here for many years, (used to buy 1/2 cow from them many years ago when my kids…read morewere still home). They have a great selection of fresh meats, home aide sausages and jerky. They also have a nice selection of fish, and prepackaged items. The staff is friendly and I never feel rushed. I won't buy my meat anywhere else. Will continue coming back here month after month. They also make meat and sausage trays, fresh fruit trays and fresh veggie trays. Love this place. Price is comparable to the big box grocery stores and the quality is 100% better. Thanks Butcher Block

As the conversation went on she became a bit more friendly. Husband went to pick up the package and said they weren't very warm and friendly to him either. Husband said the place was clean and reminded him of the up north butcher shops we used to frequent before they closed down after COVID. The meat we have tried so far has been really good quality and very flavorful. The cuts have been generous as well.

My dad and I finished them so fast! Thank you for being helpful and kind!!

You must eat it hot & leftovers for air fryer warm up does not give the same taste. It's crispy on the outside & creamy inside. Bite sized. Buy 12 and share. I think it was only $5. The entree is good, too. There is a desert bakery to the left inside the grocery store, and it is a must buy for friends and relatives for the unique flavors. See pics. Varieties of baklava & deserts not typically found. You can see him make it and pick your own mix. I think it was $2 each.

Updating my review since we got married last week! Ernie and his crew delivered and then some. On…read morethe day of the event, everyone was super nice and helpful. The staff were able to roll with the changes, as our event didn't go quite according to plan. The weather threatened to pour rain on us for a week leading up to the event, and Ernie was ready and wiling to work with us on whatever rain plan we came up with. We also threw Ernie a curve ball when we asked if he could supply ice cream novelty treats, something that's not on the regular menu. He was up for the challenge and brought an assortment of fun and tasty frozen goodness, which was really a saving grace on our 90-degree wedding day! All the food was as delicious as we remembered, of course. We had a blast, and we went home with tons of leftovers that we got to enjoy for the rest of the week. I can't stress enough how great these guys are. And reasonably priced! The most flexible caterers in town. We can't wait to work with them again!

It is now consistently bad and VERY sadly, I will not be back. Dumpling soup used to be incredible, now it tastes like new is consistently added to old. Salads were top notch, now they just appear that way on the outside while wilted, rotten lettuce and veggies hide within. The fish sandwich was to-die-for but, is now heavily battered and tasteless on a bun that is always burned. French Dip was also amazing but, again, is now never consistent. So disappointing as this place was once SOOOO GOOD.

They have an excellent selection of beef, pork, chicken, and seafood. They also make all of their own sausages. The deli and bakery offer a nice variety of rolls and desserts as well. On this trip, I was looking for chicken gizzards to make fried gizzard appetizers, a real treat in my family. They had exactly what I wanted in the frozen section. I picked up a couple of one pound containers. Checkout was quick, and the staff were friendly as always. Pro tip. When it's busy, the parking lot can get a little crazy. I usually park on Loomis Street right out front, which makes things much easier.

There was a definite buzz about the chicken salad- and a line in the deli (they move it along quickly). I would say it's worth the hype! Tumeric and chicken bouillon give it the yellow color.

The lunch menu has a huge variety of options, which made it tough to choose. I went with the BLT on sourdough, served with a pickle spear and thick-cut potato chips. It totally hit the spot. The bacon they use is fantastic. My friend ordered the Sriracha Melt (ham, pepperoni, mozzarella, jalapeños, and sriracha mayo grilled on white bread), which also came with chips and a pickle. Immediately devoured. The salads looked incredible....the table next to us ordered a couple and they looked absolutely divine. Next time for sure. The adjacent market is a must-browse too. It's packed with specialty products and rare finds that you don't see everywhere, making it easy to walk out with way more than you planned. Great food, great service, and a fun market to explore. Highly recommend stopping in if you're anywhere near West Allis.

Friendly service, generous portions, and delicious food - we'll be back!

I enjoyed the selection of cheeses, premade deli salads, and tons of dessert options. They also had a nice selection of wine and beer. There is a big parking lot so parking was a breeze.
