Ruzicka’s

Ruzicka’s is serving up local at a non-​inflated price. Finally, somewhere to get my local meats!
I stopped in during the holidays to pick up a pork shoulder for Christmas day. This is a perfect example of why purchasing meat directly from the butcher is the best way to go; I talked to the butcher about how I planned to cook the pork shoulder and they gave me a great cut. It was absolutely the best shoulder roast I’ve had to date.
They also have Shullsburg cheese (the best cheese!) in bulk, so I bought a package of sliced cheese to make some delicious paninis and sandwiches for the work week.
The space is a bit snug though. The meat prep and sales all happen in the same room, so if you’re squeamish you may want to send someone else in to pick up your cut. #knowwhereyourfoodcomesfrom

These guys know how to do meat right! They did up half a pig for us and the other half for some friends and boy is it excellent. The bacon is seriously some of the best we’ve ever had, the chops are Iowa thick, the sausage is marvelous and the price was great. We recommend these peeps to anyone interested in getting meat the way it’s supposed to be had — from the farm!

Wrapped in perfect little packages, it’s like my birthday every time I pull one of Ruzicka’s products out of my freezer. That makes me beyond happy.
[Insert appropriate birthday song here. And dancing.]
While I haven’t been to the actual shop, time and time again, I’ve eaten beef cuts prepared here. Cow goes in, beef packages come out. I get to eat them in all their glorious, various forms. Look at this lucky gal!
The next time I have some extra time and it’s open, I’d definitely stop in and visit the shop. Otherwise, this is a butcher my freezer, stomach, and I trust without question.

Blown away by Jeff Ruzicka’s catering. I wanted some pulled pork for a party I was having so I shopped around a little. I checked out Jimmy Jack’s and then someone recommended Ruzicka’s to me. Jeff got me sandwiches and pasta salad for approximately half of what Jimmy Jack’s would have cost. Excellent service, Jeff had tons of advice for how to serve the food and made it really easy for us. Guests loved the food, had one say it was the best pasta salad he’d ever had. They stay pretty busy with the catering and now I know why!
