Was driving from Green Bay to Minneapolis and decided to check out the town of Wittenberg. I'm so glad I got off the highway and headed into town. I drove right by this gem of a place and decided to turn around and check it out, it looked too awesome not too. It is a beautiful store and maintained grounds. The place was packed to the point of having a hard time getting around. I decided to go with some summer sausage as I was travelling. Haven't tried it yet, but I imagine it will be good.
The shrine of Bacon. Nueske's is the best bacon in the US. Usually featured by name as a garnish at fine restaurants. Here are seconds cheaper, firsts and many other high quality smoked products, sausage and butcher cut meats for sale. Other Wisconsin food items too. Don't miss the School House with branded and Wisconsin clothing items. Proudly wear your Nueske's sweatshirt.
Oh my, oh my!!! This place is heaven . The smell is something I wish they could bottle and make a cologne, it’s smells soooo good. The selection of beef and pork products is overwhelming, in a good way. They have a lot of other local options like popcorn, cheese, maple syrup, pickled everything, jams, baskets for gifts, etc. It is a very cool place outside and inside, a must visit when you are in the area. You can tell there is a lot of history here and the quality of their product and very helpful staff shows in every way. Thank you for a great experience and count on me stopping by everytime in the area.
This place is positioned beautifully in the hill side. Very well maintained inside and out. It is always worth the hour drive to purchase from there establishment. From candy to popcorn to bacon too beef jerky. There's something for everyone.
We have been buying Nueske's bacon for many years. It is also a wonderful gift. I recently made a mistake on an online order, and they were very very quick to help me resolve it. That kind of customer service makes me a loyal customer. They are wonderful people with delicious bacon!!!
Hubby loves it here. Drove over two hours to pick up holiday gifts this year. Great bacon. Cute little shop next door too with friendly staff!
It was a swing and a miss for us. Got a $70 ham delivered for $107 with shipping. I think these guys must be poor logistics negotiators or they have turned shipping into a profit center. I suspect the latter is the case. The ham did arrive on time and was very well packaged. We were excited to serve it the following Sunday, but our dinner was a disappointment. This ham was so salty and weirdly smoky that we could only nibble at it a little bit. Sadly we had to throw it out. We hoped for a special treat, but it didn't quite work out. Will go back to the Cure 81 which is always predictably good. I definitely do want to try the bacon - but only if I can find it in a store somewhere.
Shipping charges are a rip-off. We checked with UPS and the rate to ship the same weight to our home that is just 1 state away from them is $11 where Nueske's is charging $25.99 for standard shipping. Too many companies, like Nueske's scam their customers with exaggerated fees just to buy their products. Shipping and handling fees are simply a cost of doing business when a company decides to sell their products online knowing that their customers are not physically located where they are. Companies get great discounts from shipping carriers. So, while the $11 rate that we got from UPS would be considered a retail rate, companies like Nueske's would get a discounted rate below the $11. I corresponded with their customer service about this issue and Joanne's responses were simply condescending in nature.
If I could I would give them a 10 star rating! The finest smoked Bacon, Hams and Sausages in Wisconsin. They have so many products that I always try new things when I get there, Award winning bacon and so much more!
My mom really enjoys the smoked meats from this unique place! She resides in Missisippi and without fail, this is her holiday go to. If she has a issue with the product upon delivery, she shares this with their customer service department. They are always friendly, eager to help and things are resolved to her satisfaction. Thanks to her loyalty and strong encouragement, I'll be having Nueske's delights in Texas this year!
