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.

Nowicki's makes sausage and hunters sticks and sells them in this store. They have a good variety…read moreof sausage and sticks available and will also ship them out to you. The front of the building has refrigerators with the available meats in them and also a small lunch counter where you can have a sausage w/bun and toppings for $4.00. In the back end there is a banquet room to eat in. They also serve ice cream in the lunch room. The staff is very friendly and the sausages are delicious. The jalapeño cheese sticks are really good, spicy but not too hot. Give them a try next time in Alpena, you won't regret it. The building looks to be from the old lumbering days of yore. They also have locations in Roger's City and Gaylord. Recommended.

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.

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".
