Mars Cheese Castle

We stopped into Mars Cheese Castle last month on the way home from hanging out at Apple Holler. This spot has SO MANY Wine and Cheese options!!! We bought a couple of bottles of mead that we can't find in Las Vegas, and then popped over to the bar for a beer. We tried two local beers that were absolutely delicious, and ordered the "junior" charcuterie board. This thing was enormous! I'd love to see what the big version looks like, but as it was, we took a lot of it home because we'd had a big breakfast. Service in the bar was stellar. Our bartender, Lisa, gave great recommendations, and was lovely to chat with. I highly recommend stopping in if you're in the area! I know we'll be back on our next visit!!!

Mars Cheese Castle is a very interesting spot that has tons of cheese and New Glarus Brewing Company Beer. Beer that is only made in Wisconsin.Was very tempted to buy a cheese head but decided against it. Overall, what a fascinating themed Cheese and Beer Shop.

We stopped on our way back from a conference in Green Bay, and loaded up on cheese (and some dry sausage)!We also ended up grabbing a sandwich from the sandwich shop in the back, as well as some cheese curds.Food was good and price was decent.

I've been coming here for so many years. You can find lots of Wisconsin products here, including cheese, cured meats, kringles, and beers. There is a variety of cheese and bakery samples you can try. We always pick up bakery items and cheeses when we visit.

Been here a couple times now. The first time was to take some cheese only and the second time I ate here and took some more cheese home. The food is very inexpensive and the selection of cheeses is amazing. Will definitely make sure I stop here every time I'm in Wisconsin. I ordered their Brat which came with fries and an order of cheese curds. All so very delicious and filling.

We did a Jeep takeover here. This place is soooo awesome, too much to see. Delicious cheeses and sausages. I loved the bar! Every bar should offer free cheese and crackers. The bloody mary was too good, they add this pickled asparagus, which was delicious. You can buy them in a jar too, which I did. The bartenders were really nice and attentive. Truly enjoyed my visit.

Okay. This is a very tourist oriented cheese shop. But its at least a goid one. Wide selection of cheese, craft beers, foids, and souvenirs. I remember the original building (which in no way looked like a castle) and this is a rare case when the new remodel and version is better than the original. Always worth a stop either on your way into, or out of, Wisconsin

Cute touristy cheese & meat shop! I liked that it's right off the freeway too. We stopped here in between our roadtrip. There's plenty of tour buses that come by, so there might be a wait when you're checking out. Cute castle with tons of cheese and meat selection! If you're visiting, I would recommend the castle! But if you're just looking to to get some squeaky cheese or meats, there's always plenty at every gas station too!

Like a mirage emerging from a fever dream, Mars Cheese Castle appeared out of nowhere as I was driving on the interstate in Wisconsin. I was in need of a potty break and a place to get a Wisconsin souvenir, and because I manifested this place into being, I stopped at this castle of cheese as soon as I spotted it. It proved to be the perfect place to use the restroom and get something to eat!I had heard that Wisconsin is the place to get a kringle -- a sweet pastry filled with cheese or cherry preserves or blueberry jam or other things. I got a cherry one to take home. There's a big display case of Mars' Cheese Castle kringles near the entrance. There's also lots of cheese here. You'll find cheese curds, string cheese, cheese boards, and everything you can think of that might go with cheese, like crackers, chocolate, bread and other delicious things. Plus fudge, local beer (New Glarus Spotted Cow) and other fun foods. This is basically a big cheese shop with local goodies everywhere. I had wanted to get a food gift while I was in Wisconsin, and Mars' Cheese Shop proved to be a great place to find one.There are two places to park here at Mars' Cheese Castle: the parking lot for the store, and the parking lot for the bar area. (P.S. There is a bar here.) It's all the same parking lot, though. I parked at the bar and then had to walk a tiny bit to get to the store, but it was all good. But just FYI that if you're here for the store, you will want to park toward the front of the castle!

If you want a good Wisconsin experience, this is it. The bartender in the tavern with tye dye shirt was lovely. But Mitchell and the cheese crew?! They are the BEST!! We came here on a mission and they delivered! We are going home with some of the best cheese and big smiles! Go cheese!
