Usinger's Famous Sausage | Fred Usinger, Inc.

If you like Usinger's Sausage products, but want to save a few dollars, getting everything at the factory deli store is a great way to save money, as well as ensure that everything you're buying is fresh. Moreover, there are products on sale there that you might never find at your favorite food stores. Parking can be a bit tricky, but it's worth the effort because you can enjoy deals in the ambiance of an Old World deli store.

I don't understand the other posts here where people say the staff were "zombies" or unfriendly. I had 3 different employees ask me if I needed help, depending on where I was in the store. The prices in this store are AMAZING! My brother, who lives in Kentucky, wanted me to bring Usinger's products down to him on my road trip. I got things like 5 kisha sausages, 2 packages of pastrami, 3 lbs. of Italian sausage, 2 lbs. of sliced blood/tongue sausage....all of this for only $55. I could not believe it! The employee told me, "Yep, all factory direct prices." Also, many of the items you buy can be frozen, so you can stock up. First time in the Usinger's store, but I will be back!

I used to own a sausage shop But retired many years ago But purchased some freshw bratwurst from Usingers and that has equaled my own recipes for bratwurst Just wanted everyone to know that it was the best available in miles around Non better ! This comes from an old time European butcher Keep up the great work ! Also would like to know if you make still smoked pepper blood sausage?

Omg!!! This place is awesome, I drove from Troy, Ny. Stopped here did a look around wasn’t sure of place. Than I saw Italian sausage bought them, couple of other items. Memorial Day cooked up Italian sausage😘They were Delicious 😋 The BEST I ever had!! Thank you!! I will be ordering more !!! 😊

I was recently on the east side of Milwaukee and decided to visit my favorite places. Usinger’s is a family favorite. I have great memories of my Grandmother and our gift boxes we received each Christmas. The bacon I purchased was delicious when I made my red cabbage recipes from Karl Ratzsch’s. Memories of time gone bye.

Huge very variety of sausage! It's definitely a place to stop on the way through Milwaukee.

Got a variety of Usingers at old German beer hall and they were awesome! Highly recommend the knockworst, it was my favorite. Stopped into their store front and tried some beef summer sausage and had to bring some home.

Very friendly staff and wide selection of Usingers on-site with cheap prices. Give this place a visit because they have a great tasting product and Bob Uecker as a spokesman. Seriously, would love a Usingers in my town.

I read someone else's review saying that the meat market next to the cheese store has cheaper meats (meat sticks, salamis, summer sausages). They were open an hour earlier than the cheese mart so we headed here first and got our meats! The set up looks like a big empty space and all the meats are inside small slide top fridges or are behind a glass display. I guess it's more sanitary that way? Anyway the prices were great and I got a ton of different types of meats to take back home. I got some sliced meats that I made sandwiches with when I got back to my hotel. A perfect lunch! The hickory smoked meat sticks were a great travel snack.

We just received one of our occasional "care packages" from Usingers, carefully flown from Milwaukee to San Diego in a marvellous freezer pack. Bratwurst, sharp cheddar, hickory sticks braunschweiger and summer sausage. All of those are locally available in other brands but the others are simply not as tasty. We will enjoy fully and beg for another delivery when the time is right.

While my mom and I were in Milwaukee we came across Usinger's. I have bought some of their brats before from a local grocery store so I was excited to go to their main location. They have a nice variety of meats like sausages, brats, bacon, corned beef, etc. They also sell prepackaged deli meats. I decided to purchase the spicy Italian sausage. It was on sale and absolutely delicious! If you like spicy, this is for you! Love Usinger's and can't wait to visit again!

Always worth a stop to pickup a few things when in Milwaukee. They have free parking on the south side of the building. Any kind of brat, sausage, bacon etc can be found here and at very reasonable prices.

Asked the hotel where to get a great bite... he pointed out the window and said right there. He was right! Usinger's fast and friendly hot dog cart! I waited out 5 minutes (I was 8 in line) and walked back with two of the best street dogs I have had. The crew was up beat and friendly.

Took home some nice brats and meats! This place has been around for decades and is an icon for the Milwaukee downtown! Let's keep it going! White marble and original water fountain are still present! Totally affordable pricing and after having the original brats - I can't wait to try some of the flavored brats we picked up! Staff, of course, can help you make up your mind if you are undecided!

I dragged my partner in here on our walk around Milwaukee, and I'm so glad I did. What a cute little meat shop! The interior is definitely an old world vibe with cute paintings around the walls near the ceiling. They have a deli section where you can get lunch meats to order, as well as coolers full of items that are already wrapped and ready to purchase, such as brats, hot dogs, and summer sausage. I was also thrilled to see that they have an "imperfect" counter where you can buy things at a discount. The staff was super friendly and knowledgeable. This is a great place to stop once you've hit the cheese shop down the block (especially if you're not from Wisconsin!).

A must visit if you're in Milwaukee and like meat! I stopped by after numerous drive-bys and was pleasantly thrilled! If you're looking for a gift, you cannot go wrong with Usinger's! I stopped in their deli store and picked up various sausages, from summer to Italian to beef sticks and cilantro sausages. Since it was the holiday season, there was a slight wait, but I didn't mind as I could shop the meats in the chest coolers and take in the historic building. Upon entry you take a number to check out and order anything not in the coolers such as sliced meats or wearable merchandise. The pricing is very fair and I would definitely return. Everyone loved their meat gifts this year! PS. Stop in their Usinger's annex, where they have all of their holiday gift boxes on display for purchase! It's a wooden door and seems like your entering the elves secret sausage shop. The staff(or should I say, elves) were very friendly and answered all of my questions, especially since I was planning on shipping my gift box across state lines. They even have a gift box complete of WI cheese!

If you want quality sausages and bacon for an amazing price, look no further! Usinger's in the Old World Third Street district is where you need to be. Milwaukee is lucky to have this place nearby. If I lived closer, I would be a regular. Unfortunately the downside to eating such tasty treats would be an elevated cholesterol level and sodium intake! The real draws are the quality of their meats and cost. The pricing is simply mind blowing. My husband and I purchased 3 packs of brats, a beef jerky stick, liverwurst pate and 2 packs of bacon for under $23 after tax. Our favorites are the fresh bratwurst and the peppered bacon. One quick pro tip. Get a number as soon as you walk in and if you're going to buy in bulk, grab a cardboard carton from the carton pile just to the right of the door. The cartons sub as shopping carts and it will help keep all your stuff together when it's time to check out. For deep discounts, check out the imperfects case on the right hand side too. Don't miss Usinger's. Add it to your places to visit and if you're coming from a distance, bring your cooler! You won't regret it.

Great place to get a wide variety of Brats and sausages for a great price. There's also an impurities section were the brats are not in perfect condition but they taste just as good. A must stop whenever we pass by!

Went in as tourists in the area. Service was great, in two minutes these ladies were super friendly and shared what they could about summer sausage and made polite conversation. Waiting to try their cheese next.

Usinger's Famous Sausage is the kind of old school place that serves up delicious meats at a reasonable price from a friendly staff in a quick manner. They're good people doing good things. While stopping through Milwaukee, which is pronounced "mill-e-wah-que" and is Algonquin for "the good land", we decided to stop in to Usinger's and take home some samples (as their reputation proceeded themselves in the circle I run in). Upon entering I was immediately helped by a friendly woman who aided me in finding exactly what I was looking for. In fact, she took one look at me and said, "You're looking for spicy... let me help you" and she was spot-on. Incredible. Not only did she show me the spicy sausage options but she even got me a hell of a deal. What great service! We left with a bag of various sausages and plenty left in the pocketbook. And let me tell you, the meats are top notch! Next time I'm anywhere near Milwaukee I know I'll be making a special stop over to fill up on more un-cured meats.

Great tasting sausages in an old historic building. To watch out for: 1. there's a mural of the process of making sausages all around the wall. Look up and you'll find them. it's in German, but you can ask for the translation, and they will give you a translated sheet! 2. the Imperfect table! Way discounted packages of goods, always changing depending on what they messed up that week. 3. bring your grandparents and get 10% senior discount on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays 4. there's a free 1-hour parking around the corner. Just tell the attendant you're there for Usinger's. But don't abuse the system!

Great place to get excellent smoked sausage! Love the Canadian bacon and bacon. If you want quicker service remember to grab a number when you walk in.

The nicest people in the world work here! The young lady who helped me this am was super! The selection is overwhelming....but I found so many delicious items! Bacon, gigantic beef hot dogs and linguica sausage. Can't wait to cook it all! Can't wait to go back!

What can you say about Usinger's?! MEAT MEAT and more MEAT!!!! We have been coming to Usinger's every year on our trip to Green Bay. This location is in Milwaukee, but we will always stop. The are basically a place to buy meat. If you want summer sausage, brats, hot dogs, liverwurst, etc, they have it. We usually stock up on brats and hot dogs along with summer sausage to bring home with us. If you tell them you are traveling, they can wrap everything in dry ice, to keep it fresh longer. Their prices can be kind of high, but you can always look on the seconds table for lower prices. These items have a slight defect, nothing food wise, just maybe things like not wrapped properly, or the size is off. But you can get really good prices from there. Since I was a child, our favorite thing has always been the window displays. They are always different. Their theme is kind of centered around elves, so they are always incorporated into the window displays. It is just fun to see what else they come up with. The store itself is very clean and the staff is always nice. If you have questions they will help you. I love how they are kind of in "old" times, where they have older registers, they write everything on a pad then add it up with a calculator. It is just so great to see. They also have an online store where you can send baskets and food items to anyone. They make nice gift sets and I have definitely sent some as gifts! If you are stopping or driving through Milwaukee, I would definitely recommend stopping by and checking it out.

Stopped in to check it out. I was given a full hot and spicy beef stick when I asked to sample it, very generous! Free one hour parking and cheese mart at the corner. Fun for a quick stop.

Sausage haven with bargain prices. I bought a LOT of sausage and total bill only came out to $20ish. AND I didn't know this but over to the right they have "imperfect" items that are discounted. Usinger's definitely knows what they are doing with anything encased. TIP: Cheese Mart is right on the corner. You're welcome. #RefereEats "I call it like I eat it."

When in the area I like to stop in here to absorb the olde world atmosphere. The cases are filled with all kinds of sausages. There are many varieties that I am unfamiliar with - some I am not sure I would want to eat! Prices are reasonable since they seem to always have some specials. One of the workers was super friendly though her sausage knowledge was a bit thin since she was new - nonetheless she was a good ambassador for the shop. Definitely stop in.

Gotta love this place! Some of the best meats around from the deli meats, to the packaged sausages this is the place to go to. Walking in grab a number to the right and wait to be called on. One of the ladies behind the counter will then take your meat order on a piece of paper, most everything is sold by the lb even if it is prepackaged. Take a look at the items in the "imperfects counter" and find some great deals. The mortadella was delicious, better than what I remember in Italy. The beef summer sausage, hard to put down and stop eating. They even sell pretzel rolls in the 4 pack for $2.50 and a huge box of crackers for $1!. The lady who was helping us even gave my kids a sausage stick each, free of charge! Whenever we go to Milwaukee this will have to be a regular stop!

Milwaukee's pretty well known for their beers and brats, and while I'm a vegetarian, I thought this would be a fun place to stop at for souvenirs for others when I happened to be in the area this past summer. You do have the option to have things shipped back home to you, if you don't want to carry a bunch of things with you on a plane, but I managed to find some items that were easy to transport back with me easily. I thought prices were very fair, and the worker helping me was very friendly. I would recommend this place if you would like to bring some smoked links and other various pork products to share with others back home.

Love coming here to get meats from the seconds table and from the other stuff. Their applewood smoked bacon and the lol porkies are awesome and you can't go wrong with their sandwich meats.

This review is about the gift shop. Heading to somewhere else and you want to bring something Milwaukee to show some pride in where you come from? Well there just aren't that many people who appreciate cheeseheads, and I can't afford to buy everyone I visit a Harley so Usinger's meats it is. They make it really convenient here as they have their own parking spaces in the nearby lot (otherwise parking can be dicey here) and the staff is helpful and effecient. It's not like there isn't a lot of competition for sausages around here, but this is a good deal for very fresh high quality and it's so Milwaukee. I can't believe anyone would eat Johnsonville I mean seriously . So, while you're in here getting gifts, they also have some very tantalizing snacks and I love the prices on their "imperfect" stuff. Note that right across the street is a high end spice shop.

Really looking forward to our opening day Baseball picnic and serving a few Mr Baseball Beef Franks. Our order was filled incorrectly and we did not receive them. Total Bummer, Even had a raffle for all of Bob Uecker's Baseball cards, all 6 !!!!!! When I called Usinger's to advise them I was told that I was out of Luck. Very disappointing. There was no issue with the very nice lady I spoke to but was just doing what her Boss told her in a case like this.

Can't stand the old people working the counter-- they must hate each other as none will lift a finger for the other to sell their product-- the attitude is it's not my job so 'WAIT! I walked out instead of buying anything-- it's Xmas and they're miserable?!? Later Fred

What not to love here. Its old school at its finest. The products are all great from the sausages to the bacon and beef sticks. Don't miss the mural inside lining the space. It's a very cool old space that you can just imagine what it was like in its heyday. It screams charm and wisconsin.  We were at Marcus and made it a point to stop in for some beef sticks (so great) summer sausage, Bacon and liver sausage. So much better priced then any of the tourist places (looking at you Mars) Plus your getting it from the source...this is hallowed ground. They have a great selection, bring a cooler and fill it up, Aside from the stuff we bought it's like a full butcher and smoke shop. It's a must stop if your in Milwaukee, plus it's a great neighborhood, there some other stores and restaurants. They even have free parking at the lot at the end of the block

Well who doesn't want to stock up on local sausage both fresh and cured? We had a cheese tray that contained Usinger's sausage and we knew that we needed to take some home with us! We stopped in for yachtwurst and smoked sausage and hot sticks. I was happy to find jalapeño summer sausage on sale 2/$5. We grabbed an assortment of meats for two households and it was only $38. Amazing considering how much they were charging at the cheese shop two doors down. This place is worth a stop on any trip to Milwaukee so you have the best kind of souvenirs-- the edible variety.

Great place. Fantastic sausages at good prices. Sweet group of ladies working there, but stuck in the 1950's. They actually write down your order on a pad and ring it up manually on a register. Takes forever, especially when the place is busy. You can wait a long time to pay. C'mon man, drop a thousand bucks on a bar code reader and a new register and make everyone's life easier.

Too much to choose from is not always a bad thing, it's an excuse to return! Small but friendly and helpful staff. The Landjaeger is DELICIOUS!!!!! 41/2014

Usingers is always good. I grew up on the liver sausage and weiners. Often on mt way gome I will stop in and pickup applewood bacon or something on sale from the irregulars counter. I love the display window and the murals inside the store, so fun. The service is always good at Usingers.

Very disorganized. I was trying to buy one pair of sausage but would have to take a ticket and wait 10-15 minutes to pay Clearly tells me that they don't want my business. Left without buying anything.

They have the types of sausages that are not common at most places, and they have very good meat cuts. The prices are more than fair, and the sales/imperfects can't be beat! Due to covid they do enforce a mask policy and social distancing. It is a safe clean place to shop. For those that are to bothered by mask wearing, you can do your shopping online.

Great place to cure the meat sweats. Quality products at a kickin' price. The selection is vast, some stuff I never knew existed. What's Landjaeger & is it made using Jagermeister?? The facility truly enhances the Old World Third St. atmosphere. Stepping in is like stepping back in time, from the beautiful tile floors, marble pillars, old school scale & an awesome wood paneled ceiling. But, pay special attention to the crazy gnome-y murals adorning the upper walls behind the counter. The murals depict gnomes catching pigs & turning them into sausage. Hilarious!! I love everything about this store. My favorites are the brats & bacon They're both amazing & my standard for which all future brats & bacon will be measured. I enjoy a BBQ'ed brat on a pretzel roll with sauerkraut & some type of spicy mustard. Be sure to checkout the "seconds table" which has mis-shapen or other oddities that are still good eats. But, half the price of the pretty stuff. German wurstmacher (sausage maker) Fred Usinger definitely dialed in his family & subsequent generations on his techniques & recipes. Today, their company is run by the 4th-generation Usinger family! Free parking is available in the lot just South of the buildings entrance. Twelve spots are clearly identified to ease confusion. Is Bratwurst the unofficial state meat??

Meat, Meat, and more Meat! You had me at Meat! This place has it all. Iconic sausage shop in the great city of Milwaukee! Prices are fair and if you time it right, it can be fairly easy to get in and out. This place is full of Old World 3rd street charm! There is a reason Usinger's is known as the best and it shows in the quality of everything they put out there! Meat your maker!

I have not been to this place since I was a little kid and that was many, many moons ago. I won't say how many, but it's a lot. When entering this establishment, it brought back memories and I remembered the round couch sitting in the middle of the room that I would sit on while my parents shopped. Funny how you can remember an item that you last witnessed so long ago. Anyway, this store is more like a factory outlet shop now. Their items were more limited in variety than what I remembered. Usinger's is a brand that is distributed to quite a lot of grocers and mail order now when before it was more of a neighborhood sausage shop. It's been around forever. Bought a few items to take home and the ladies that were working there provided friendly service. If I am Milwaukee, I will have to stop there again.

It's been nearly thirty years since someone sent me my first Usinger gift package. These sausage treats are irresistible! We use to come here once a year when we lived in the Midwest. I know to many, when they think of Milwaukee, they think Beer-Town USA. Thank you, Laverne & Shirley! But, it's so much more than just beer. No insult intended. You have the Harley-Davidson Museum, along with a zillion other museums, historical mansions and houses to see along with the beautiful water front of Lake Michigan. And, that doesn't even include Miller Park, Mitchell Field or the local Air Museum. To this list I would include, Usinger's: http://www.onmilwaukee.com/articles/usingers.html If you haven't seen Ferris Bueller's Day Off, here's a bit to laugh at: www.youtube.com/watch?v=7HNd3qz68Zw What you really need to do is to find a friend in Milwaukee, who is willing to send you some of the world's most delicious sausages! Or, you can order some online as I do, at: http://www.usinger.com/gifts/ Enjoy!

WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE E-V-E-R!!! I will ABSOLUTELY Never give Any business to this train wreck of a company again. This situation would be absolutely comical if it wasn't so very very sad for the crappy, unresponsive "customer service" that I have received. I tried Several times to place an order for multiple family members for Christmas. There was obviously something wrong with their website, because the payment function would not load/work. When I called to talk to their "IT" person (Don), I was told it was most likely because I was at work, and that my employer was probably blocking the payment function on their network. Ok, odd, never had any trouble with purchases from any other site while at work before, but you never know I guess. I tried three more times when I got home, on 2 different devices, and still unable to complete the order. Needless to say, I was getting frustrated, but I was told (by Don) that someone would contact me the next day to get my CC number to complete the order. Ok, fine, that was acceptable. Well, by 4:00pm that next day, I gave up, and sent a Very clear email noting that I was going to go with someone else. I mean, I CLEARLY stated in the email (my EXACT words) "As of the sending of this email, (4:00pm CST) I have yet to receive Any communication from Anyone. I have decided to give up and go with Nueske's." That last part is germane to this situation. I received a very apologetic email (from Brian), saying things like "so sorry for the bad experience, hope we can do better in the future, Fritz wouldn't want me to make excuses, blah, blah, blah". So, cut to a week later, and I receive calls from relatives that they have received a shipment from Nueske's, YAY (completed, authorized, orders I placed) and then a second order . . . from Usinger's. . . What?!?! (Not completed, Not authorized, Not wanted, Actually Cancelled). Apparently, "customer service" finally kicked in and decided to run rogue and ship my order that I was told was "scraped" (their IT guys word) from their system. Hmmm. So there are two problems here, (1) I clearly said I was going with someone else, and (2) I NEVER spoke with a representative from this company to discuss, authorize and/or otherwise "complete" my order. You can not Possibly Imagine my surprise when this company has the cheek/ gall/ stones/ chutzpah to send me a bill for shipping an order I had clearly cancelled! A bill! I guess Don (the "IT" person) and Gina in the shipping department decided that, without authorization and against my VERY CLEARLY expressed plans, it was better late than never. The thing is, mistakes happen and I get that. Glitches in systems happen, and I get that too. BUT, to handle this situation the way they did is So Very Unacceptable. Biggest kicker? I reached out to the person (Brian) who sent the "sorry for the bad experience, hope we can do better in the future, blah, blah, blah" email, and Crickets! No "oh my gosh, that's our bad", no response, no explanation, NOTHING from this yahoo. So I'm thinking, ok, fine, they're just going to leave it alone. Can't really fix it, we'll just all learn and move on. Nope, those SOBs sent me another bill today! Unbelievable. Talk about compounding the problem. Absolutely lost a repeat customer for good, and I will absolutely share this experience with as many people as I possibly can at every opportunity I have. So, Good job. For anyone curious enough, feel free to respond to this review, and I will be Happy to share the emails detailing All of this, just in case you think that something this stupid couldn't possibly happen. It did and I have All the email correspondence to prove it.

Usinger's is a meat lover's dream come true, bonus points if you are down with the German sausages. Usinger's has been around since the 1870's and has been making bratwurst and sausage since that time. They offer these items as well as bacon, lunch meat, ham, chops, and chicken links in their Milwaukee store or through mail order. The shop is the same as it was back in the 1930's and the folks that work behind the counter are very helpful and professional. A word of caution though: BE PREPARED TO SPEND. Everything offered here is so delicious and enticing I often WAY over buy (thank god for freezers). The Braunschweiger is fantastic, as is the chorizo, applewood smoked bacon, andouille, and garlic sausage. Just when you think you've seen everything suddenly there's a football shaped summer sausage in the case and you realize, well, I have to get that too. Curses! If you drive, remember this is about a 2 hour drive each way from Chicago so you might want to throw a cooler in the trunk, especially if its summertime.

Meat and Usinger's are synonymous in Milwaukee and for me a trip to this great city is never complete without a stop here to purchase and ship some of the best brats and sausages I have ever tasted. During my most recent trip to Milwaukee however I did not have enough time and was "forced" to go on my last day hoping the TSA gods would allow my purchases through security. I stopped in their retail store, and since I was traveling picked up some pre-packaged chicken and pork sausage as well as some brats to bring home with me. I also picked up some "seconds" - which only meant that they were misshapen or not up to the Usinger's standards. Sold at half the price - it's a steal. For those living in the MKE area - make sure to check out their fresh meats and even some that can be sliced to order. Even if you are not within driving distance to Usinger's - check out their website - they ship all over the country. I am happy to report that all my purchases made it through security and as I am composing this review the pork and chicken sausages have been happily consumed! Pro-Tip - if you are buying sausages to bring with you on the plane and purchase the gel packs to keep your meat cold - make sure you DO NOT bring it in your carry on luggage. You will be stopped and your packs and possibly meat/cheese will be confiscated.

Another fixture in my blissful Milwaukee childhood. We went here quite a lot 'cos my Dad knew the owner of Usinger's when he was alive. I remember wanting to work there when I was a kid 'cos the workers got free sausage lunches - when I was 7 or 8, that seemed like the coolest thing in the world (still does, honestly). And, as a kid, when I went to work for the day with my Dad (which was relatively frequent), I'd always want lunch here. The operative word here, being - SAUSAGE! When I lived in LA, my mom used to ship brats to me, 'cos weirdly, I couldn't find them there. Now, in Chicago, you can find Usinger's meaty products in a few of the grocery store - and when I see them, I set upon them like a wolf. Being of German/Russian descent, we take our encased meat products seriously. Juicy and delicious, no tofu-veggie-faux meat product need apply. Please! Usingers quality has always been top shelf - and they ship anywhere. Summer sausage, Salami: genoa, hard, garlic, cotto, and beer, knackwurst, mortadella, braunschweiger, liver sausage, thuringer, sulze, yachtwurst, bologna, kielbasa, bratwurst, I love it all. And my Dad's favorite *shudders* . . . head cheese. And there are no "low fat" versions of this stuff that I'm aware of - that would be blasphemy! Yeah. I'm part German, liebchen! Yeah, sausage is sort of bad for you, and I try to keep my consumption low so I don't look like a sausage in my clothes. But, when indulging a vice, why not go for the best!

No preservatives and only the best ingredients fill the natural casings of this sausage maker. When I think of any sausage I think of Usinger. When I am in town I am in their store and when I'm home in the West I am on line for gifts and personal orders. This is a first class company that truly deserves its world wide positive reputation. I love all of the many products that I have had, too many to list, and have shipped them to friends and customers for years. A Third Street old world institution that is worth a visit anytime.

A step back in time for sure, great atmosphere, great products, terrible service. I've stopped in a few times recently while in the area and the service is extremely slow... more of a tourist stop than a regular shop. Well today I was able to get service and the woman taking care of me told me to go get what I wanted from behind the counter as it was all the way on the other side of the store. I thought it was odd but proceeded to try and go where she told me. Another female worker literally yelled at me saying Sir you can't go back there... I told her the other worker had told me. With me looking confused she acknowledged me at least and told me they don't know what's going on sometimes either. Since no one would help me, I walked out of the store and will never go back as it was perhaps the worst customer service experience I have even had.

The Best when it comes to true, authentic, Old World Craftsmanship German/Austrian Sausage Delicacies (1800's). The staff is pleasant and knowledgeable, and the price-point is spot on. A few times, in the past, I would purchase over 70 Gift Boxes of their delicious products to hand out to my clients. All were appreciated, and the fact that I drove to Milwaukee Wisconsin to pick them up, made them all that special to my customers. When in need of delicious Old World Germanic Deli Meats, you have to try Usinger's. Cheers!!!

Great sausage, Abe F would be jealous. But most importantly the most awesome mural of little demented drawf elf creatures capturing, slaughtering and rendering porcine victims ever. It's like those great old murals in the back of the diaramas at the Field if it was done by crazen bacon obsessed PBR fueled butchers. It has to be seen to be believed. Small glimses on it can be seen of google images, but one must stop by to see it is all its wonderous glory. They are closed sundays, but you can peek in the windows after church and still see it for yourself.

I would rate Usinger a minus 10 if I could. Ordered a 5 pack of brats, for a Christmas Gift, from their deli, on December 2nd. December 16th and still no brats! Nothing but excuses since! I was told on December 14th that the meat was in the truck, to leave over the weekend. On Dec 14th, my husband also called, unbeknownst to me, and was told the order would not ship UNTIL Monday the 16th, with an arrival date of the 20th!!! We were both told that a confirmation email would likely be received on Monday, December 16th. Nope, no email!!! My husband called on Dec. 16th and was told they "couldn't give us a tracking number and it was UPS's fault". Usinger's is a total s*** show. Never again!

Even though I have lived in Milwaukee for so long, I had passed by a hundred times, I finally went in. Why did I take so long. I went to straight to Imperfect Counter (Discount Bin), to get the best deals I ended up ordering the Apple smoked Bacon and Chicken sausage for total $2.89. I will be going back trust me.

I was so excited to gaze upon the big USINGER'S sign while walking in the cold city of Milwaulkee. I knew I had to stop in and see it in person. I had my heart set on getting a souvenier t-shirt because we had one over 20 years ago when we were first married. We walked in and although there were four workers behind the counter nobody greeted us or made a move to try and guide us. I am not sure even how to order or what to do upon entry. Finally one lady made her way over towards the counter so I broke the ice and asked about t-shirts. They had under 5 shirts available total and they were all sized medium. Big disappointment . I may have purchased some sausages....but due to lack of information and service I was ready to bolt. The experience made me uncomfortable.

My Daughter is in the USCG and stationed on Ketchikan Alaska. She had a urge for Fresh Brats from Usinger's in Milwaukee. I contacted Customer Service to see if they shipped to Alaska. Matt Kosmatka in Customer Service took my order and information. He got right back to me and said they would ship to Alaska for me. Well FedEx messed up the Delivery and Matt Kosmatka got right on it and corrected the mess and got the order shipped back out and delivered the next day FRESH. Matt went above and beyond the Call of Duty. This Company should be commended for having such Dedicated Employees such as Matt Kosmatka. I will reccomend Usinger's to Everyone and tell them be sure to ask for Matt Kosmatka.

I drive up here every few months from the north side of Chicago to shop because there's just nothing like it down there. The sausage is unparalleled, the staff is pleasant and knowledgeable, and the prices are amazing. My favorites are the cheddar brats (pre-cooked, so easily microwaveable) and the beer brats. The pretzel rolls are also to-die-for.
