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.
