Spar's European Sausage & Meats

This is a must stop when it comes to smoke meats. The salami varieties that Spars offers is amazing. They do alot of in house smoke meats and the quality is very good. They end up running out really fast. People who know about this place, can't help but to get pounds upon pounds of smoke meat delights. Now that you know about this place, get down there and enjoy what I have been eating for a while now.

The best place for a wide variety European style fresh, smoked, and frozen sausages as well as fresh and lunch meats, local cheeses, and stuff with a Buffalo twist to it as well. I love their weisswurst and their bacon! 2025 edit: I'll severely miss Joe and Beth, and Spar's! Happy retirement!

Great customer service! I was able to get there right at opening and they were able to make fresh Hungarian sausage very quickly for me! I highly recommend! It was so delicious when we grilled it up!

Excellent Polish Sausage and Pork products. A clean butcher shop that smells like garlic as soon as you walk in. Extremely friendly staff and helpful with suggestions on trying new varieties of Pork Sausage. I highly recommend their Sausage!

Anything you get from here will be outstanding. Always get a couple pairs of Landjäger to snack on from the shop to your car...or to eat all of them on the way home :). The people here are knowledgeable and clearly love what they do — and it really shows in the product here. Don't miss out on this place.

Everything I've had here has been amazing. I especially like the homemade sauerkraut, kielbasa and kabanosy. They have a ton of different types of sausages from Hungarian to Andouille, and the staff is super friendly.

Amazing places like this are becoming a rarity. Making homemade European sausages and various cold cuts. I hope this place stays around for a very long time. Probably the best bacon in buffalo. unique sausages such as Hungarian that you can't find anywhere. Almost all cold cuts and sausage are made in house. Best olive leberkase (olive loaf)and hot pepper leberkase(pepper loaf) ever had in my life. The Bockwurst loaf and krakauer are absolutely amazing. Definitely go check this place out if you're in the old saudages & cold cuts.

We recently hosted a German Club dinner at our home in Vermont. The authentic Bavarian Bratwurst I had brought from Spar's were a real hit! Made from humanely raised beef and pork from Eric Spar's own recipes. Delicious, and well worth the trip to the west side, near Buffalo State College. One of the few remain German butchers in the area.

If you're in search for fabulous and authentic sausage and are interested in seeing a million little pigs, this is your destination. I have tried a variety of their fresh sausages (andouille, polish, Italian, chorizo) and all were tasty. The catch is their hours of operations are very limited.

Best ever! Best ever! Buffalo vs The World!!!! Best ever! I have been buying the Hungarian sausages here for years, recipe hasn't changed as far as I know, and everything is always amazing. Pastrami is every other weekend, good luck with that, I always miss the pastrami weekend. I'm 0 for 3 in guessing, calling them would be to easy! Cheese is great. Try the smoked cheddar! Double smoked bacon is so good it may be illegal!! Pepperettes are fantastic, my spelling is not. Olive loaf!!!!! Boom! See you at ur new favorite place!!!!

This is a must stop when it comes to smoke meats. The salami varieties that Spars offers is amazing. They do alot of in house smoke meats and the quality is very good.

Get this European Sausage & Meats Shop in your life! When walking into the shop you are greeted by the friendly staff immediately. Grab yourself a number and patiently wait for it to be called. All of the sausage is hand-made in-house and is incredible! They have both fresh and smoked sausage. I've tried almost all flavors and I really enjoyed each and every kind. Some of the smoked sausage reminds me of beef sticks/beef jerky and is nice to snack on. My favorites are the Joe K's Short Fuse, Landjager, and the Spicy Pepperettes. The fresh sausage is amazing! The Italian Calabrese, the Morning Sausage, the Jerk Chicken Sausage and the Lemon/Dill Chicken Sausage are some of my go to's. I've also had the Spar's Burger that's made with 50% Strip Steak and 50% Beef Brisket...O.M.G soooo flavorful and tender! They have imported speciality cheeses and deli meats like no other! To the left of the shop they have European chocolates, condiments and other grocery items. When the Elmwood-Bidwell Farmers Market is open, Spar's is usually there every week! I can't wait to see them at the Farmers Market again this year!

I love going to Spar's. Always a large selection of great sausages, both fresh and smoked. Only problem is deciding which ones to get. I've never had one I didn't like. They also have cheese and deli meats. A friend talked me into trying the Leberkäse once and I'm glad I did. It's very good. In November/December they make Korv which is a Swedish sausage. It tastes very close to my family's recipe and I highly recommend watching their facebook page and when they post that they have Korv go and get some.

I've been here a few times already and always have had a great experience. Staff is friendly and knowledgable on all the sausages. The prices are great too. Lots of variety and they always mix it up. My boyfriend is Swedish and they even make Korv in the winter. His family makes it so he is critical, but he said that Spars' recipe is VERY good. They also have a small grocery with local German and imported items. If you haven't been in yet and you like sausage or side salads, or trying something different, check out Spars. Even if you don't live in the area, it's worth the trip! Looking forward to coming back soon!!! 9/3/16 Update: Picked up chorizo-stuffed peppers, Black Rock Berbere sausages, as well and sweet and spicy Italian sausages. All were very good but I would highly recommend the Black Rock Berbere. It's made with an Ethiopoan spice and tastes like Ethiopian food to me. A little kick but not too much heat. Can't wait to pick up more of this!!!

Abe Froman was the Sausage King of Chicago. Now there are two reviews which begin with the same Matthew Broderick reference. HOW PSYCHADELIC IS THAT. (drops mic) (picks up mic again) What to get: ready-to-eat snack size sausages of all varieties. What else: I've censored this review to be more Yelp-friendly, and if you actually read it, it is most definitely about a first-hand experience because I "come" here all the time. In fact I even have a Spar's t-shirt that says "I come for big salty sausages (that I can barely fit in my mouth)." So I went in here with no money, and asked for free sausages. "We sell sausages, we don't give them away," they said. I responded, "but don't you have any Spares? After all your name is SPARES, right?" Needless to say I was asked to leave. Spar's is an absolute gem. Everyone and their mother and their dog (especially if the dog is a sausage dog) should check it out. Their products are unique and remarkable and delicious. Their small ready-to-eat sausages absolutely rock my world. I could have eaten so many of them in a row that I would have gotten fat(ter). They are delicious and greasy and spicy and incredible. I think they supply meat products to Mes Que too, which is why Mes Que's charcuterie (for under $10, no less) is delicious. And spicy and greasy, just the way I like my sausages. And my men. And my men's sausages. Now when I went in here, I learned they are Arsenal fans. I'm a Liverpool fan. I was like, yelling at them, "you guys should be SPURS fans. After all your name is SPURS, right?" Needless to say I was asked to leave. Some of them taste like chorizo, some like salami, some like chippolata, but they're all remarkable. They have free samples too (yay) so you can find out just how good they are without spending a penny, but once you do, you will buy some. And when I went in here, I was actually looking to buy some molds and fungi. Not a fun guy, I mean I am a fun guy and I am always up for fun with a guy, but an actual mushroom of sorts. So I was like "where are your SPORES? After all your name is SPORES right?" Needless to say I was asked to leave. The sad part is that most people I speak to have never heard of Spar's. I used to drive to Cleveland just to get Beef Jerky from the West Side Market (omg, I can't even spell it, but try it, Czuchraj Meats or something), but little did I know that we had some meats here that are just as mid-to-high price, just as iffy service (but way better, because Spars gives away free stuff), and just as incredibly delicious. But when I went in here, I was like, my gf wants to get pregnant and I'm firing blanks, can you give me something to inject into her to get her preggo. Not prego like Italian food but preggers like Arnie in "Junior." And they were like saywhat and I was like, "you know, some SP*RMS? After all your name is SP*RMS right?" Needless to say I was asked to leave.

The variety of sausages is amazing! Just walking in the building is an experience, between the display cases stocked with sausages of every kind, to the smell of wood smoke from the on site smoker. This place is the real deal. For sausage, I shop no where else!

Make sure to check this wonderful small sausage shop in Buffalo! It's kind of a hidden gem and not many know about it, but their sausages and salamis are absolutely delicious!! The owner is a German person, I think, and you can really taste the difference between their meats and the stuff you get from the grocery stores. I love their chorizo and Hungarian sausage and also the rain forest salami, which is a more smoked salami. It was really good! The only thing that makes it a bit difficult to go there is that their working hours are pretty limited.

Everything and anything at Spars is absolutely incredible! Try it for yourself and you will say the same thing!

If you want to have great sausage experience this is the best on the Niagara frontier and the finest food For the holidays.

Awesome Customer service and the Pork Pepperettes are INCREDIBLE!!! All of their sausages are freshly made and a lot of hard work and thought goes into them as well! What an Awesome hidden gem of Buffalo!

Ok I'm obsessed with this place!! So is my dad. When he comes into town he gets 30+ links to take home, to freeze and grill. He's a lawyer that works horribly long hours so he loves to pop them on the grill for a quick delicious dinner. I recently got this smoked/ham/bologna/pickle/onion salad. The owner was kind enough to set some aside for me as it was the last of it. YUMMMMM!!!! I also got smoked pork neck and sweet cappicollo. They were perfect seared in a pan with some sunny side up eggs! Months ago I git one of the whole smoked chickens. Wowza!!!!! Can't wait for that to return

Have been buying fresh polish sausage here for years. Best sausage! If you are looking for good meats you have to stop at Spar's.

This is the place for authentic German sausage in Buffalo. I met the founder, Erich Spar years ago. He came from a town in Bavaria very near to where I lived for a couple of years during the last century. The recipes for weisswurst, leberkase, and other German sausages have now been passed along to the person who runs it now, and the quality is just as high as previously. The beer brats are a particular favorite. In addition, Polish, Hungarian, and other ethnic varieties of sausage are here as well. There are also many other products imported from Germany such as candy, condiments, etc. This is another gem in an area not far from the neighborhood where I grew up.

Spar's is one of the best places in WNY. They are just up the street from Wegman's on Amherst Street. I stopped in to grab some sausages which are made in house. They have a great variety of sausage, from Italian, to Polish, to Chorizo and many more. I bought several of each kind. They also have smoked sausages and various wieners, hot dogs, frankfurters, etc. They sell cheese and fresh bacon. Spar's also has a small grocery area with products from Europe. All I can really say is try this place out, grab a beer and cook up some Sausage, you won't regret it. Delicious!

I loved this place. A long time ago. Shopped here for years and then in 2015 removed all of my positive reviews. Labor day weekend. 2015. Exactly the Thursday before. I have all of the correspondence via "nasty" on their part to corroborate my statements. As per FB Spars advertised a specialty "berbere" sausage starting the Thursday, late day, prior to Labor Day. I could not get there on Thursday so I "messaged" asking of I gave a CC# would they save me six pounds for pick up Friday AM. Spars agreed. They had my CC#. I was cool. I was getting garlic and ginger sausage. When I arrived with a sickly and terrified grand daughter I was greeted with disdain. The grand-daughter part just happened. Not in my original game plan. I was told that the berbere sausages would not be ready until later that evening - FRIDAY - or perhaps Saturday. Someone should have called me and told me this. Their words, not mine. I could not come back. No way. Other plans and issues. Cool I get no sausage. Then I get a freaking nasty FB Message from the owners' wife. Saying that she should but she is not going to charge me for the six pounds of sausage/links. And that her husband does not have the time to tell anyone when he can't complete an order. For real. I have ALL OF THIS and I would love to post or share her commentary. Bottom line...I see this must have been a bad weekend for them . My suggestion....it's a business. Learn to deal. Never, ever will I return. Miss their leibecase....Redlinski's makes a similar product. Shop wisely my friends.

I don't eat beef or pork, so it's amusing to me that I love this place so much. I pick up sausage and bacon for my dad here. His aunt worked here forever ago and the recipes are pretty much the same. Everyone raves about the meat, they sell all kinds of other European shelf-stable food, and the poultry pepperettes (like all natural spicy, poultry slim Jims) are great! The staff is always happy to help me pick out something to purchase for my family and they never laugh at me for not knowing much of anything about pork or beef :)

Alright, time for an update. A lot has changed in the past 2, almost 3 years. Spar's is still my amazing go-to for sausages and pretty much any type of pork product ever. Everything is consistently amazing. I kid you not when I say I stock up about twice a month. For example, their chorizo OR andouille sausages are amazing when you dice them up and put them in chili! Some of my favorites include the breakfast sausages, and they have a few options. The augsberger brats and the bangers are the 2 classic breakfast sausages that they serve all the time. I actually prefer the augsberger, but the bangers are an awesome choice as well. Sometimes you'll get lucky and they have the T-Meadow (local pork farm for those unfamiliar) Sunrise Breakfast Sausage, which is another amazing option. The Sweet Potato Surprise also comes with a surprise flavor of maple syrup, making it another great option for breakfast sausage. Can you tell that I love breakfast sausage?? Of the sausages they always have available, I really like the Hot Calabrese, the La Bella (made with garlic and pinot grigio), and the Hungarian (this baby is LOADED with delicious, spicy paprika). But really, any of their sausages are amazing. I prefer grilling them, but roasting in the oven is my preferred method in the winter. The new products they have been offering include a Jamaican Jerk sausage (mouth watering and to-die-for) as well as a Berbere sausage, which is an Ethiopian spice (an ode, I think, to the rich cultural diversity of Black Rock!), which is also amazing. Sometimes you get lucky and they have them fresh, but other times you can get the fresh-now-frozen variety, which is equally as delicious! Lastly, before you go, you MUST pick up a pound of their in-house cured and double smoked bacon. Absolutely godly. Hands down the best bacon around. That too I pick up about every month. It makes amazing BLTs. If you have not had the chance to make it to Spar's, I highly recommend it. The product is top notch and very consistent. You really can't go wrong, and there is something for everybody. Go now! But not really. Their hours are strange, I recommend checking before you drive out.

I used to love this place...the smells and products reminded me of the small Polish-run store that was near my house in the 60s and 70s...and Spar's sausage products were the best that I'd been able to find since returning to Buffalo 18 years ago. The last few times I've gone here, it's been different. Gone are the racks of specialty import products that couldn't be found elsewhere. The sausage itself is nowhere near what it used to be. What used to be thick, juicy links are now small, tight, tough links that often contain chewy gristle. It saddens me to see how far this business has fallen.

"You're Abe Froman?" "That's right. I'm Abe Froman." "The Sausage King of Chicago?" "Yeah. That's me." -Ferris Bueller's Day Off, 1986 ******************************************** Abe Froman would be proud of this place to be sure. These guys are the sausage kings of Buffalo, specializing in a whole lot more than sausages, including some classy sassy bumper stickers for your car. My favorite reads, "Pigs, they're not just cute, they're delicious!" I know, right? Why advertise a political candidate who you hope will change the world when you can advertise for a beautiful sausage place that you KNOW will change your world. Besides sausage, other notable treasures are their tubes of mustard, my favorite being the Hüttensenf. You know it's the real deal when there's only German on the tube. Straight from Vienna. They also feature shipments of stone oven baked dimpflmeier bread using all natural ingredients. Wander around (there's not really room to wander too much) and you'll find other German treats. If you are new to European sausage, go when it's slow and they'll be happy to give you a quick tutorial. During my little lesson, they kindly offered me a free tasting of one of their smoked sausages! Now I get one every time I go in as a little snack for the road. I honestly haven't tried a sausage there I haven't liked. My favorite is the Sweet Potato Surprise - sausage filled with sweet potato, maple syrup, and green onion. My friends and I took some of it with us camping and cooked it over the fire. Not much later we were snoring under the stars. My last recommendation which will potentially seem gross to you is their leberkäse. Think of it as high-end bologna. It comes plain or with hot peppers. Put some on a couple slices of the dimpflmeier with some of the hüttensenf mustard and let it toast in the oven. Soon you'll be lunching like they do in Deutschland though you will need to walk it off or else you'll be like me - asleep on the couch drooling over your book.

My favourite German butcher/deli in Toronto - Kellens - has been closed for years and I didn't think I would ever find a replacement, but I have, and it's Spars in Buffalo! So many fresh and smoked sausages, bacon and most importantly, house made Sauerkraut! If you have only had the bottled kind, you haven't had the good stuff. Get some at Spars and you will never eat the bottled stuff again! Nice people too! Of course they are, it's a shop in Buffalo! I'm a fan and will definitely be back. Thanks to all the Buffalo Yelpers for the reviews that helped me find this place!

"Pigs are cute. . .and delicious!" If you haven't been to Spar's to pick up some sausages, smoked meats or bacon, I'm giving you one week to haul your ass down there and see if it doesn't change your life. If it doesn't, you don't deserve it. Return your Buffalo card and go live somewhere else. Old-school butcher shop with lots of housemade eastern european/polish/german sausages. But the bacon. I didn't think there could be an improvement on bacon. Oh, the bacon. Hubs brought home some firehouse chili for lunch on Saturday. Oh my. The complexity of flavor, smokiness and spiciness in this chili. My mouth is watering.

Not much to add from the other review, just that this is the best selection of sausages outside of Chicago. You can tell the moment you walk in -- the fragrance of the spices floats around. They have an excellent selection and is fully stocked. You never suspect that they have stuff lying around for long. Prices are terrific -- especially when you consider that this is all made by hand by skilled craftsmen.

I am definitely a fan of the product, but the customer service could definitely use a little improvement. A younger gentleman was behind the counter working alone. There were only three of us in front of the deli counter waiting to be served. He was very short with all of us, and even abruptly called on the next person when I showed even the slightest bit of hesitation. Not only that, but an employee came out of the back and simply asked him if he could take home a folded shipping box. The gentleman who I am told was the owner snapped at him, "for what?" He repeatedly asked him why he wanted the box, when it was destined for the recycling bin! This left a bad taste in my mouth. This was out of context, and maybe the owner has a box fetish, who knows, but all of this should never have been handled in front of customers. For food, it's great, but I hate to financially support someone who acts like everyone is inconveniencing him. Behavior from the owner was a bit... piggish? ha.

Spar's is an adult candystore of sausage. Watching food TV shows and how you were raised, you probably put condiments like ketchup, mustard, peppers, onions on your sausage. This hand made sausage is so darn good, it isn't needed! Roll or no roll there is so much flavor packed into these casings of joy. I was shocked that my father and friends' dads never heard of this absolutely necessary staple of North Buffalo. First time I went in, literally the door was non-stop people coming and going, and it isn't a large place! I now always have some in my freezer at all times! Even though their website shows a large selection of sausage options, the menu is limited once you get there. One of my favs so far has been the fresh Hungarian, which puts to shame the "same links" you'll buy at the supermarket. But hands down, the best is the Fresh Andouiile Sweet Potato with onions and maple syrup. Not always available, but last time they had it, I bought over 2 lbs of it! I felt slightly guilty spending that much in one place, but once I cooked it again I realized it was money well spent! For the next bills tailgate, having friends over or just the family dinner Spar's will only impressive you enough to blow your socks off and have that delightful food orgasm (you know what I'm talking about) that will make you smile and try to hoard it like a little kid at Halloween time.

Everything here is good. I try something new each time I come, something off the wall in either spice profile or ethnic origin or the body parts it was made from... And all of it was good. I also always spend more than I intend to, mostly because everything is good, and I want one of everything, or they have something new that looks irresistably tempting. The prices are higher than let's say the Tops or Wegmans that are less than a block away in each direction. The degree to which the food is better is more than the degree of extra expense. They use good meat and balanced seasonings and it's always good. This isn't for the bargain hunter - it's for the connoisseur. The workers are accommodating and friendly, especially the cashier on Saturdays. If you ask, you'll get a thorough description and sometimes samples. The sausages are really really good. Can't recommend this place enough if you like eating animals.

Holy mackerel... the selection just gets better and better! When it comes to quality sausages and smoked meats don't waste your time and money at wegs or tops. They can't beat the offerings at Spars. Try it and you'll keep going back. SEXY BRATS are the bomb!

Great sausage, but the thing I like the best about the place is how great the service is. They are always excited to have you sample their products and they always come from behind the counter to hand you your order which I think is so nice. If you haven't tried the pastrami, do. It's fantastic

Came here on a quest for pork belly. Apparently, that's a special order. Bummer but I walked away with really good sausage. They make their own roast beef and have a nice selection of cheeses. Did I mention it's a little German grocery as well? Great find!

Absolutely Thee Best Sausages Made in Buffalo. Their homemade smoked ham, turkey and pastrami are also excellent.

Best place for meat in Buffalo. Sausage is sensational, regularly get the bison beer sausage and the slab bacon will give any vegetarian pause. It is not the cheapest place for meat, but worth every penny. Only complaint is the hours...I'd be the more often but a 5 PM close is tough on working folks. It always kills me to drive by it on the way to wegman's to buy something inferior.

Spar's meat shop is a little small and cramped, and can get chaotic when when it is busy, however the flavor and quality of the hand made sausage will make any inconvenience worth it. I have never had anything but the best sausage from them. I went there the first time looking for Andouille sausage that I was having trouble finding elsewhere, they had both fresh and smoked! They manage to carry a huge variety in the fairly small shop, and they are all great. It is definitely worth the time and effort to shop here.

Old school charm, old school customer service! Consistent & mouth watering. There's not one piece of meat in their case that I don't adore. My goal this summer is to make my way through all of the varieties. My boyfriend is a vegetarian, but he respects & adores my love of meat. He even encourages me to "pick up some Spar's" when I'm looking to get "meaty" as we like to call it. Definitely worth a visit!

The Liver Cheese or Leberkase has neither liver nor cheese but is hot and fresh on Fridays. The PEPPERETTS are tasty, the Short Fuse is HOT!

Spar's might be one of the best hidden gems in WNY for those who love pork in various forms. They offer around 10 different fresh varieties of sausage and maybe another 10+ frozen varieties that are described on a white board. The double smoked bacon and the pepper bacon are both out of this world. The house made pastrami is spectacular, I make sure to pick it up whenever they have it in stock. Spar's is top notch - go check it out.

Sausage is tasty! Also, if you're looking for a bacon themed gift for a bacon lover, this is the place to do your shopping.

Spar's is the place to go. I have eaten plenty of good sausage, bacon, and other deli meats, but for all around taste, freshness and service, Spar's is my number one choice. Once you try the smoked bacon, there is no way that you will be able to go back to the grocery story and purchase it. The prices are a bit more than some of your local big name grocers, but for the the taste and quality, I will pay the difference. Joe is very particular about his products and service. Trust me....this is something you DEFINITELY want to try. For those who are vegetarians, this place may make you think twice.

another one of my Buffalo favorites, the best sausages I ever had. Can't come here too often, not the healthiest diet but sooooo good!

Like eating God's pet pig! Mmmmmm! Double smoked bacon...NOT sliced so you can make it as thick as you want and sausage...Andouille...Spicy Hungarian...Mild Hungarian...Chorizo...(Homer Simpson's drooling noise here), it's all good.

Everything at Spars is top notch!! The people at Spars could shit in a paper bag and I probably would buy it!

Been to this specialty meat shop over the past 8 or so years , I'm not a regular patron but do enjoy their specialized products. My biggest issue is the blatant disregard for the patron, we should expect to be served with a pleasant demeanor and providing the patron with what they desire. I spent close to $100 the last time I was in , I think that's a generous amount. I wasn't happy at all with the clerk that assisted me recently they were rude and pretentious. If a patron wants to eat a particular item they sell in a manner that is disagreeable to them they should allow the patron to make that choice and not be reprimanded and pushed into something they don't want. If the patron makes a bad choice , it's their mistake and should be allowed to make it or perhaps the patrons tastes are different from the clerks. The fact is the customer is always right since they are providing support to the business. I probably won't be crossing their threshold ever again since I was put off by their blatent disregard for my right of choice. I work hard and was looking forward to a delicious treat and it was ruined by one rude individual. I have noticed that all the employees are a bit stoic and a bit rude. A business needs to have a balance of good customer service and good product. There are so many great places to patronize in the Buffalo why bother with those that aren't putting up their best effort for the customer.

Very good quality meats, but a rude employee. I asked for 22 Bratwurst and the w/m 30's bluntly replies, "next time call first." $42 worth of product and I have to put up with an attitude? Meat is pricy and the icing on the cake is that, when I got home I noticed I was charged $7.59 a lb when the sign said $7.49 lb. I've been coming here for years for this Bratwurst, but it may have been my last trip.

Everything here is amazing. Spar's is a true-to-life artisanal sausage purveyor without any hipster fluff. It's really remarkable how just about everything they sell smacks you in the kisser with flavor. After a lifetime of bland supermarket sausages, this place shows you how it was meant to be done. Their sausages just explode with savory goodness - both smoked and fresh. A huge variety as well - anything you could imagine from Hungarian to Mexican chorizo to smoked Spanish chorizo, andouille, Italian hot and sweet, brats, and originals like sweet potato surprise and Jamaican sausage, which rocks hard. My only complaint is that every time I go in there I want to max out a credit card and ascend into perfect pork fat bliss forever....

I finally got to Spar's right before Easter. I bought smoked polish and smoked german sausage. The taste is great. The smoked flavor is well balanced. I will be back again. I live 3 hours away and am looking for a reason to return to Buffalo to buy more. The service was friendly and knowledgeable. I will experiment with additional items next time.

I've been coming here for a few years and usually got some good quality sausage. A couple weeks ago we decided to get some of their burgers for a family party. We inquired at the counter if the burgers could be orderd in advance and we were told yes. So, we ordered 30 burgers a week in advance and we were told the burgers would be ready the morning before our party. The day we arrived to pick up the burgers we were greeted by the owner with some pretty nasty language about how we are not allowed to order anything in his shop in advance. Everthing is made to be purchased on a first come first served bases. It made no difference to him that we were told by one of his employees that we COULD order in advance. After making a big scene in front of a shop full of people this idiot handed me a bag of burgers that he made in advance. I paid the bill and left for good. $12 a pound for burgers and a lot of heartburn. Won't be back.

The best sausage and meats ever. There is no "bad" product at Spar's, everything they make is fabulous. Reasonable prices for the best of meats.

This is one of my favorite places! The sausage is amazing; I love everything I've tried here so far. The staff goes out of their way to explain all of the products; you can really tell they take pride in working there! This is worth the drive downtown. The prices are very reasonable. I've brought their polish, andouille, and others to parties and have given as gifts... always a hit!

Friendly,helpful and will let you sample before you buy.I was there for the first time last week and will definately be back. Super service!
