Nowicki's Sausage Shoppe Alpena

Love stopping in here for a brat. It's really cool that you can come in, purchase a cooked brat or sausage for lunch or a quick bite.

So happy we went here! The sausages, brats, wings,sauces, service, and the price were all Fantastic! I would highly recommend checking this place out, and getting yourself some sausages to go 👍🏼 I personally really enjoyed the "everything" sausage topped with house made pickled onions and the sweet heat chips!

I really wanted to love this place, I've been here 2x now with identical experiences. The wings were dry and Luke warm and had very little flavor to speak of. The brat was also Luke warm and surprisingly dry as well. Service was friendly and the place feels old timey which I love. Sadly the only good food here is available in their fridges in the form of pre-prpared sausage sticks and pickled goods. Their selection in that department is excellent I must say.

Spouse and I frequent Alpena, Mi for out of the way gems. Nowicki's is on the absolute short-list of faves. We have eaten on-site (safe, highly informal, hygenic and very reasonable, though small daily menu). Small and large dining areas. Purchased many meat-based brats, sausages, pickled products, etc. Superb, Old World quality in their products. Totally non-corporate! Absolutely earth-rooted staff (approachable, hospitable, informative & yes, at least in my experience, fun folk). Upper body promotional garments, ice cream and a very clean, modest environment. Impeccably clean restrooms! No fritzy, illuminated signage, adequate parking, ground floor access. Deer Hunters note: They offer zero rough processing of game but welcome the clean, no-hair boned meat to create their quality produc

Just happen to be passing through for work and saw the sign outside talking about their bratwurst. Decided to stop in and grab a bite before I hit the road and I'm glad I did! So good that before I pulled out of the parking lot I ran back in and grabbed a package of brats to bring home! Definitely worth stopping in if you happen to be in the area.
