Mister Bratz is a family-run butcher shop in Orland, Indiana, and its calling card is brats, more than 50 flavors of them.
Specialty Brats, Beef, and More
The shop is a full butcher and meat market, known for those specialty bratwursts plus premium cuts of beef, pork, and poultry. It sits about three hours north of Indianapolis and an hour east of South Bend, which makes it a natural road-trip stop for anyone working through northern Indiana's small-town food gems.
A Legacy of Quality and Craftsmanship
At the center of it is owner and master butcher Kevin Kain, with more than 35 years cutting and preparing meat. That experience shows in every cut and every case. Whether you are grabbing a single brat or stocking the freezer with locally sourced meat, Kevin and his team send you out loaded up.
Taste the Difference
The slogan is "Taste the Difference," and the flavor list backs it up. Past the classics like beer brat and cheddar jalapeno, the creative ones are the draw: Hawaiian, Gummi Bear, Blueberry Maple, and Mac & Cheese, with chicken brats for the non-pork crowd. The shop also makes its own summer sausage and jerky, and stocks Wisconsin-style cheese curds.
