Joe's Pasty Shop - RHINELANDER

I am a Pasty snob like most Pasty lovers. I have enjoyed many in Cornwall England, the home of the Pasty. We make them at home and attend Pasty Parties , I like a good curry Pasty and I like a traditional with New Mexico green chili. We took a trip to Northern Wisconsin and discovered this gem. Cute little Shop and a lovely lady working there. We could smell them as soon as we opened our car doors. To our horror we discovered they don 't sell them ready to eat. They make them and freeze them, you take them home and finish cooking them in your oven. We bought six, 1 Cornish, 1 Traditional, 1 Ruben, 1 Bacon Cheeseburger and 1 Southwest, 1 Greek! (Wow!! The Ruben blew my mind, seemed a sacrilege and that may have made it taste when better. Long story longer, every Pasty I ate became the best Pasty I ever ate! We cut them at the table and shared. Better than in Cornwall and better than we can make at home. Great crust, quality ingredients, minced steak, tender veggies... Soooo good! We ate until we hurt and don 't regret it. I don 't know who Joe is but good job mate! Rhinelander is almost 2 hours away but I see myself making the trip all too happily!

The shop smelled absolutely delicious. Im so impressed with quality ingredients and work the owners put into these hearty pasties. Definitely going back!

We picked up 3 pasties for dinner. bacon cheeseburger, pizza, and Cornish. All were delicious! On par with Randall's Pasties in the UP!! Beautiful/flavorful dough which is key to a good pasty! We'll be back soon for more! Very well organized with our order when we came to pick them up!! They come frozen so you do have to take and bake yourself, but very easy and we'll worth the effort!! They give you easy to follow instructions on how to bake!! Can't go wrong!!

Joe?s Pasty Shop is probably my favorite business ever. The first time I had a pasty was up in Ironwood, Michigan after a full day of skiing when I was younger. I was very excited when I found out there would be a Joe?s in Rhinelander as it was much closer to home. Ever since I left for college, every time I go home, I always put aside a few hours to make the drive to Rhinelander and pick up some coveted pasties to bring back to school. Not only are there a bunch of delicious and creative flavors, the classics like the Cornish pasty and the traditional pasty are killer too. I?ve traveled around the country trying pasties wherever I?ve found them as well as sampled other U.P. pasties and I haven?t found a better one than Joe?s, especially when it comes to the crust. I?ve had to cut a bunch of overcooked, thick pieces of crust off my pasties, but Joe?s always delivers on having delightful, flaky, not-too-thick crust. Joe?s pasties also set themselves apart because they?re made with locally sourced ingredients. When I?m homesick, I always bust out a pasty because it reminds me of home and I love that while I?m eating my favorite comfort food, I?m also supporting a business that supports other members of the community. All in all, Joe?s Pasty Shop not only has amazing pasties, but also fantastic business practices.

Moving, maybe closed already. Moving to Michigan I believe.
