Kramarczuk's

The overview

Nordeast's Ukrainian sausage house

Kramarczuk's has made Eastern European sausage and comfort food in Northeast Minneapolis since Wasyl and Anna Kramarczuk, immigrants from Ukraine, opened in 1954. The cafeteria-line deli plates house-made kielbasa, cabbage rolls, pierogi, and varenyky, with a bakery counter of poppyseed rolls and rye.

A James Beard America's Classic and the anchor of the neighborhood's Ukrainian heritage, Kramarczuk's still makes nearly everything in-house — old-world cooking kept alive for seventy years.

A signal you can check.

This is a dated award record, published by The Centurion Awards after Kramarczuk's cleared the 2025 evaluation for its market and category. It was not bought, voted on, or sponsored — the criteria are public, only winners are published, and an award that stops holding up is revoked, not quietly removed. Awards run one calendar year and renew only if the business clears the bar again. For everything else — hours, bookings, live reviews — go straight to the business itself.
