8 Wisconsin Butcher Shops That Make Quality Meat Easier On Your Budget

One Wisconsin meat counter sits right on a university campus, and the cuts come from a meat science program where students help with the work. I love that detail. Your steak might have a little homework behind it. That shop opened in 2020, and it runs on weekday hours only....

Wisconsin Has 6 Old Taverns Where The Booths And Bar Date Back Over A Century

10 Wisconsin Pizza Places Where Budget Conscious Diners Can Still Eat Well

One pizzeria on this list sells a two-slice lunch special for less than a movie ticket. Another sells pies up to 28 inches across. I had to read that number twice. Cheap pizza usually means sad pizza. Not here. These shops serve huge New York slices, cracker-thin crusts, and family...

People Drive Out Of Their Way For The Fresh Meat At This Wisconsin Butcher Shop

A butcher shop that calls itself the maker of a famous five-foot summer sausage deserves your full attention. Five feet. That is taller than plenty of sixth graders. The sausage is only the opening act. This old-fashioned shop also stocks thirteen kinds of bacon and twelve flavors of snack sticks.

This Massive Wisconsin Mexican Grocery Is A Treasure Trove For Rare Spices

A former Toys R Us now sells epazote, fresh tortillas, and award-winning Birria Bombs. That swap alone makes me grin. The toy aisles are gone, and a full Mexican grocery fills the space instead. The building covers about 38,000 square feet. That leaves plenty of room for a butcher shop,...

One Of Wisconsin’s Best Breakfast Spots Is A Tiny Diner Most Travelers Would Drive Right Past

Plate-sized pancakes. That phrase alone should make any highway driver tap the brakes. The little roadside diner serving them also turns out thick-cut French toast, crispy hash browns, and omelets with a fan club. Coffee arrives in heavy mugs stamped with the diner’s own logo. Card readers? Not here,...

This Wisconsin Chinese Restaurant Brings Serious Sichuan Flavor With Dishes That Keep Locals Coming Back

12 Wisconsin Soup Spots That Make Chilly Days Easier To Love

Soup flights are a real thing in Wisconsin, and I’m not even a little bit sorry about it. Instead of picking one bowl, you get a lineup of small cups to sample side by side. One spot on this list sells frozen quarts so you can stash soup in your freezer for later. Another runs a Black Friday soup fundraiser.

This Wisconsin Supper Club Serves Crab Legs Every Weekend And Fills Up Fast

Crab legs, lobster claws, and prime rib share the same Saturday buffet line here. That combo alone explains a lot. The spread keeps going, too. Deep fried scallops, salmon in dill sauce, and crab stuffed cremini mushrooms all show up on that same night. I can see why people make...

9 Wisconsin Italian Delis Serving Sandwiches That Barely Fit In Your Hands

One Wisconsin deli sells its hot subs in a size simply called Grande. I love that they skip the polite word large. Grande sounds like a dare, and honestly, I respect it. That name sums up a whole category of sandwich around here. Another market on this list has been feeding its neighborhood since 1913. A third bakes oversized sub bread fresh in the style of an old Chicago deli, and plenty more stack meat until the bread gives up.

This Unexpected Wisconsin Mexican Spot Has A Oaxaca-Born Chef Behind The Menu

A mole made with 20 ingredients is waiting across the street from an airport. That’s not a typo, and it’s not a food court gimmick either. The owner grew up in Oaxaca, Mexico, helping his mother cook for a big family. He carried those kitchen lessons north and built a menu around moles made from scratch. His son now helps dream up new dishes too.

Skip The Chains And Feast At This Quaint Wisconsin Amish Restaurant Instead

Somewhere in Wilton, Wisconsin, there’s a former schoolhouse that decided it had a better calling than teaching long division. The Dorset Valley Schoolhouse Restaurant is the kind of place that makes you wonder why you ever wasted a Saturday afternoon at a chain restaurant with laminated menus and a hostess who calls you “guys.”
