They have a choice of sandwiches for you to choose from or you can build your own. There are also multiple options for sides available.

We'll definitely stop back the next time we're in the area. The spotlight of our trip today was my interaction with Faith at the cash register. You can tell when someone really enjoys their job, and she was just that. Super friendly, welcoming, even service with a smile (which is rare these days). We love supporting local businesses and it is because of people just like Faith who enjoy interacting with the public that makes these experiences so memorable.

It's a mainstay, lots of grab and go items, bakery, smaller grocery market, full of organic and fresh salads, sandwiches, soups, etc. Great place to pickup some items before heading down to the river for a picnic. You can also eat on a patio in the back they have tables available. I got the Italian sandwich, it was delicious, fresh Italian meat selection, cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, oil and vinegar. Yum! Picked up some chips and a freshly made pumpkin muffin and walked down to the river. At checkout they were rounding up for the local library, which I love, support local!

I recently made a road trip from Door County Wisconsin over to St Paul, Minnesota and on the way…read moreback, passing through Stillwater, MN stopped by this sandwich shop based on Yelp recommendations from others. I'm sure glad I made the decision to get off the highway there because this place is definitely unique, compared to places likeSubway, Firehouse, Jimmy John's, etc. First of all, the team working that day were mostly young employees, likely high school or early college age with a slightly older more experienced manager present. All of them were very polite and anxious to serve. They were extremely efficient and preparing my sandwich. everything on the menu looked delicious, but I opted to go with the healthier Avo turkey sandwich, basically a turkey club with avocados. This is one of the most delicious sandwiches I've ever had in my life! I know I was hungry, but this was beyond that, it truly was good and nutritious and my lunch was just under $14, which is difficult to do these days. The workers there demonstrate excellent work ethics and those young ones will likely go onto college and have successful careers that were helped launched starting out preparing sub sandwiches at this wonderful place.

A few things, but I decided to wait on them as the price was still a little high. I ended up making my way over to the bakery and came across the cinnamon roll morning buns which I had the next afternoon and they were still fresh and delicious. I'm a huge cinnamon roll fan and this checked all the cinnamon roll yum for me. The store was clean and bright. Lots to offer. I always like to allow myself time to look around in kowalski's because there is always just so much they offer. The gentleman who rang up my groceries was very quiet and it was like pulling teeth to get him to even say hello which is too bad as this is basic customer service skills in any job/position. However, I'd still visit this location again.

They have a deli counter in the back and even make fresh sandwiches! (No gfree options by the look of it) I ran in on this particular day to grab some milk since it was on my way home vs. diverting completely from my route. I was politely greeted by some associates who opened the door for me and asked me if I needed any help. I did a little checking out of the aisles but grabbed my milk, an apple, an energy drink (for the hubby) and a little snack. One thing to note is that they don't have lottery or scratch offs. No biggie. Also...Some things can be priced a bit more expensive than a "normal" grocery store but that's to be expected for the convenience. Ex ben & Jerry's a pint is roughly $8.49.

Everyone is always so friendly, the cuts are always so fresh, and you can't really go wrong! We love getting their picanha and Billy brats if we want to grill out but truly you can't go wrong with any of their meats. It's nice because there's also a small cafe inside so if you're super hungry, you can grab a sandwich and some fixings to hold you over if it's a trek to get back home like it is for us. We'll be going on hiking trip in a few days and actually stopped in to get a pound of their beef jerky which we'll vacuum seal and take with us to snack on. Super great Smokey flavor, perfect snack to nibble on, and keeps super well!

It was pretty loud indoors due to it being packed, so we kind of wished we could have grabbed a table outside; their patio area was adorable! Our server Karey was a superstar: friendly, attentive, very knowledgeable regarding the menu options. My mom said her eggs Benedict was the best she's had in quite some time. My sausage scrambler was loaded with sausage, mushrooms, peppers, cheese and green onions and it was very filling. My only gripe was when I looked at the receipt after we left and saw it cost $7.90 for two cups of coffee. And the coffee wasn't even in the realm of good, so they either need to up their coffee game or lower the price.

Heard great things about this restaurant so my girlfriend and I had to check it out. A bit busy (which is a good sign), but the 5 minute wait wasn't too long. Many good options to explore, but I just had to check out their country fried chicken. Main star was the gravy; it was delicious, seasoned well, and was filling. The hash browns were crispy and cooked well. The steak itself was good, a little dry personally. The crust could use more "crunch." Even when sauced, the underlying crust of country fried chicken should maintain some structural integrity rather than being soggy. Nevertheless, I was satisfied. Be sure to check this place out. Would love to try the other items offered on the menu.

A parent actually told us to mind our business when we pointed out the signs. We are regular customers, but we will not return until the rules posted are enforced by the staff.

I hit the "help" button on the screen, and a checker immediately came over to manually input that item. While I was in the grocery side, my husband checked out the liquor store. He bought a number of beers to take home, including some that were new to him. We were both quite pleased with our shopping experience here and would stop in again on another trip to Hudson.

That also made me a little hesitant to buy meat if the produce is so bad. They do have some good sales on items and maybe those items will be fresher as they go through them quicker? But to find moldy carrots, cucumbers, tomatoes, mushrooms, cauliflower and broccoli in a row...wouldn't recommend!
