Best Sausage Maker in Milwaukee · Milwaukee, WI
Usinger's has made German sausage on Milwaukee's Old World Third Street since 1880, when Fred Usinger arrived from Frankfurt with a set of recipes. Behind the ornate storefront — its walls painted with dancing elves — the family still turns out more than seventy varieties of bratwurst, summer sausage, and wieners.
A nationally shipped, fiercely traditional operation, Usinger's is a 140-year-old Milwaukee landmark and one of the most respected names in American sausage-making.

This is a dated award record, published by The Centurion Awards after Usinger's Famous Sausage 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.
Making sausage on Old World Third Street since 1880, Usinger's is Milwaukee's defining wurst maker, still family-owned.
