Great selection of gluten free items, some products I can no longer find in my home town. They do come at a cost though. Staff was quick to help me.

We ordered deli meat trays for our son and daughter-in-law's reception. They were very attractively arranged and the meat was delicious as we already knew it would be. I highly recommend them!

This place makes the absolute BEST chicken noodle soup - as good as Oma's or maybe even better! (but don't tell HER that!!) The grocery store section is full of unique food options, many of which are locally sourced and delicious. And, the gift baskets made to order by "Bev" are absolutely fantastic! She fills them with every great item for a unique and tasty offering - whether it's for a celebration or "shut-in" gift. She's been there to assist us with all our needs for many years, and along with the rest of the staff and owners, is a joy to deal with. Definitely THE place to eat or shop if you're in Steinbach!!

This store is fun to walk through. It has highlights from other stores that are amazing products that they sell. It's nice to see other stores supporting other people's products. I love to get groceries here and a sandwich too!

Loved my soup and sandwich! This is exactly the type of spot I was looking for on my travels, something with fresh ingredients, and delicious recipes. I got the soup of the day which was called “cheeseburger soup”, loved it! So hearty! And my sandwich was amazing as well. They also offer a lot of cool health oriented packaged foods like a small grocery store, lots of amazing local/regional products. Recommend this place for sure. Also the staff were veryyy friendly :) thanks again

This place is so great! It's very easy to order and the prices are very reasonable! I got a turkey sandwich which came on the softest bread and with the crunchiest pickles! The soup was potato and it honestly blew my expectations away with the sausage, beans, and cabbage added in. It's the perfect lunch/date spot! Afterwards my boyfriend and I browsed the store and there is a great selection of teas, cheeses, spices, breads, veggies, and more! If you're ever in Steinbach you should stop by! I will definitely be visiting again!

Always excellent food (ready to eat soups (Cabbage Borscht and Chicken Noodle being my faves) and made to order Sandwiches) and friendly informative customer service. If you're not in the mood for sit down meal; the store filled with what feels like anything and everything you could think of for you're next meal ("Mennonite" or not)!

I visited Main Bread and Butter on December 13, 2024. The store presents a festive atmosphere, with well-stocked foods from countries like the Netherlands, Germany, and of course, some good home cooked Mennonite food made right on site. Grab your German Stollen or some Honey Waffles from Holland, as well as a hot homemade Somma Borscht or Chicken Noodle soup. Other pre-made meals are available as well. This store is bustling this Christmas season with many folks from the community and beyond. Youre sure to meet someone that you know. Thanks, Main Bread and Butter! Merry Christmas to all, Frohe Weinachten!

My daughter found hair in her soup and I had hair on the side of my bowl. Very dark and short. I think making excuses isnt right. Doing it right: Replace the bowls without taking a CSI approach. Not everyone does crappy things in a restaurant. Complimentary dessert for two would have been a better idea. Staff was checking to see if it was our hair. Mine mixed blondes, Daughters hair was caught back. The hair color in food is a very dark hair color. The grocery area is huge. It could use a bigger dining area. Pretty cramped. Busy place indicates good food. The soup without hair was delicious.

I am disabled, use a cane and wheelchair. Second time here. First time, one male (owner?) followed me around wherever I went in store. I brushed it off as maybe they hadnt seen me there before, so I brushed it off, (even though it made me feel very uncomfortable). I went in Monday again, and a second male followed me around AGAIN! No matter which aisle I was shopping in, he had his hands on his hips, and was STARING!! My caregiver was with me as well. I politely asked him why he was following me, told him how uncomfortable I felt.....I also felt shame and embarrassment, publicly humiliated!! He said Well, we have lots of theft in the store, so.... No other customers were being followed on either occassion, only me!! I was polite, Ive never stolen anything in my life! I was shamed by your stalking behavior, for no reason!! Other customers also began to wonder what was going on, and also looked....I wanted to to just leave, but really needed the $70.00 in items for a meal. After paying for my items, I cried my eyes out when I got outside the store! Why would you think that you have the right to treat me with so much disrespect???? Because Im disabled, this gives you the right to treat me like a thief?? A friend happened to be having lunch inside, and seen this. She called me today to ask what that was all about? I am beyond angry today...You have negatively affected this friendship by your horrid actions, as well as slandered my good reputation!! Steinbach is a small community. Shame on these 2 males!

Forcing FASD (14 yr old girl) employees to wear 2 masks, and berating them about vax status demonstrates the lack of integrity of this business, and its owners

December 23, 2022

I have not and will not go to this establishment. I think it is disgusting that you have forced a mentally challenged employee, first of all to segregate and then pushed her to a point she felt she needed to resign. All because she could not wear a K95 mask. Disgusting. I will gladly remove this if you find some humanity in you. Apologize and reinstate her.
