Driftless Market — Restaurant in Platteville

WARNING: This place is not a real business. When you spend your time and money there, they are not there to serve you, but rather you are there to support THEM. Against my better judgment, thinking I would at least get something homemade-ish for tomorrow's potluck, I called this morning to ask about salads. I was told how most of what they sell is ordered ahead of time, but they described a few standard salads they have every day. They sounded perfect, I said, so I will just stop by one hour before closing today and pick up some of that. Sounds good, they said. When I arrived, "You're looking for WHAT? Did you place an order? No, we don't have that." Never again. I get that they can't compete on price or responsiveness, but at LEAST they could compete on COMMUNICATION. Who has time? Not me. So probably a great place to donate your time and money if you're looking for some people to support. But if you're looking for a business to serve you, I don't know, go to ALDI I guess....

The service is always nice and ready to help. They also sell art and jewelry from local artists. If they close I'm moving. Of course the prices are higher than other places in town, but that's the price for better and...
