Another market on this list sells over 25 varieties of raw brats, and it opened back in 1941. A small-town butcher down south has been serving customers for generations. Wisconsin clearly treats the humble brat like a family heirloom.

Pork hocks, rouladen, and sauerbraten are served inside a restored train depot that has stood for over a century. That combo alone made me stop scrolling. The menu leans proudly German, with schnitzel, spaetzle, potato dumplings, and braised red cabbage. Then it swerves into prime rib, ribs, and baked French onion soup.
