We are from South Carolina and are visiting our daughter who attends Milwaukee School of Engineering. We saw the huge sign on the building for Usingers and decided to stop in...and I am SO glad we did! Jean helped us with our order and spent quite a bit of time educating us on the different types of meats that they sell. She was so incredibly patient, kind and knowledgeable. We bought some items that didnt need refrigeration. Then we left to buy a cooler and head back to Usingers. We filled that cooler up right there at the counter with so much deliciousness from Usingers!!Thank you Jean and everybody at Usingers! We will be back soon, and with a bigger cooler!
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.
Terrific selection of best-quality meats and great customer service.
My brother sent me a surprise gift (so I didnt open it right away) however when the package arrived I was in a hurry and just put it in the garage and promptly forgot about. Fast forward four days i open and realize it is perishable. I called Usingers and was quickly connected to customer service. i was checking to see if there was anyway that it was still consumable. They advised against rather than take any chances, and promptly said the would reship the order, much to my surprise and pleasure. Its a pleasure to find companies who still focus on customers, even if the customer fumbled the ball. That goes a long way in my book for future business. Thank you Usingers
Loved working there! However, the manager Peggy, needs to stop speaking to her employees like a drill sergeant and start speaking to them like the respectable adults that I gave gotten to know and trust, despite my short time there.
Staff is always so nice and friendly. I cant get here often but I am never disappointed with their service and the products. Delicious sausages.
Our Favorite Sausage Store. Love Usingers! Cant beat the deals when they have them. No Beating the The Old World Tradition! Order their Holiday Packages for Friends, Never a Disappointment. #1 Quality at the Best!
First time visiting this place. Very busy, but got through quickly and the staff was GREAT!!
Raised on Usingers, since 1950S, when in MKE WI,bring your Cooler with Ice ❗❗👍👍👍🌏
Friendly service and lots of bargains here. This the best of old Milwaukee!
Ok. Good selection of sausages.
Great meats and great prices! The people that work there are friendly too! The seconds area is my favorite!
Has very good meats, and employees are very friendly, and helpful
Awesome deals! Awesome sausage! Free parking!!!
Its like stepping back in time and going to old butcher shop. Friendly helpful staff. The freshest sausage you can get plus 10% senior discount. There is no better sausage!
Fritz Usinger helped me find the Gouda Apple Sausage in the cooler. Wow! Personal service and amazing traditional sausage. A perfect shopping experience.
This place is the definition of Milwaukee, great customer service, very friendly, with fresh and reasonable Meats. Vintage signage from the late eighteen hundreds, a great pleasant experience, everybody should come to the store at least once and once you do it once, Im sure youll come back again.
Dont go for the customer service. The sausage is excellent and the prices are unbeatable. They move very efficiently and their goal is to get you in and out. It is what it is. They werent rude at all, just brisk. I will still be purchasing their sausages.
Went and bought a bunch of brats, fresh liver sausage. Ive going there when they have their sales
Where else do you go for Oktoberfest bratwurst?
My family has been giving Usingers holiday gift boxes since 1970. Packed full of tasty meats, cheeses and the famed carving knife that we look forward to celebrating every year. My sister went to Marquette and turned our entire family on to what has become an annual holiday season tradition. Usingers makes a great gift anytime of year. Check out their deli selections too...and get to grilling!
Seriously amazing been here forever we drive here from Illinois it’s worth it! Uhh 2 lbs of bacon ends for like $2.50 please give me more ! Please keep support your amazing local businesses even if you’re from out of state completely worth it.
Or is very very busy I like it the military discount on Monday Tuesday and Wednesday I get a lot of gift boxes friends and family I recommend this store very highly
WE have been ordering Brats from usingers since 2002. We have a Christmas tradition of having Brats and black bread on Christmas morning, When our local Germann market went out of business in 2001 we were lost for a replacement Brat until we found Usingers. Best Brats ever. Our Christmas tradition has been saved thank our Usingers.
Fantastic deals! Everyone should visit Usingers
Usingers is a meat processing plant who specialize on smoking different meats and selling to the public. They have a storefront with your favorite breakfast sausage, bacon, smoked ham, smoked turkey your favorite hot dogs or if you want to call them frankfurters. The prices are incredible much better than your local supermarket. Usingers come visit this place in downtown Milwaukee.
Currently Usingers is only open for walk-ins on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. I arrived at around 1215, walked in there were about six customers in front of me. Waited about ten minutes, great service, knew what I wanted, but staff knows their product and are willing to talk with you about it. Was out by 1230.
Very helpful staff!
The best around for fresh meat,bacon,& sausage. Try it all! Free parking in lot for customers too.
Very, very good
Good and good service
Super disgusting. Makes me kinda unhappy because Im a local to Milwaukee down the street📌📉 .. Threw the rest of the 25$ in the trash 🗑️.. where it belonged. Never again
Always love going to Usingers. The workers there are super helpful. One of the best kept secrets of Milwaukee, besides the Safe house of course.
Usingers is the premier sausage maker in Milwaukee!!!!
Never disappointed. Great quality, and friendly service.
Dont go here for the speed, but go here for great sausage & meats! Well worth the wait. Well worth it!
Large variety of meats available. Terrific service. Only open Fridays and Saturdays right now.
A beautiful storefront in the heart of Milwaukee. Great staff and historic murals inside the main storefront.
I’ve been a customer for several years in ordering & sending Christmas packages. This year I blew it and did not send the right payment information. I didn’t know until today, well after Usinger’s delivered the packages. This is the old world customer service! Just when I thought I should maybe mix it up a bit next year for Wisconsin/Milwaukee holiday cheer to those out of state...I won’t think twice about that any longer! Usinger’s customer service matches their product. Second to none!!! Thank you!
Closed due to pandemic. No one thought to update Google so we spent an hour driving here for nothing. Every other sausage maker in the state is open (Miesfelds, Johnsons, etc.) Groceries are essential, they should not have closed.
I love this place! As a child, wed stop here every summer to get summer sausage, bratwurst and other sausages to enjoy.As an adult, everything is as I remember it. High quality, consistency, delicious. When I think of Milwaukee, I always think of Usingers.
I have been going there for over 60+ years since I was knee high to a tall grasshopper. They have always made the best sausage and still do today under the watch full eye grandson Fritz. Keep up the good work and your legacy will continue for many years to come. Thank you.Bill Jeanette
Great service! Masks utilized by everything in the shop. Great German sausage!!
The Entertainer gift boxes that I sent my spouse and a business client both arrived today. My husband (Suzans writing this) just opened his and Ive already heard from the business client. First of all, we thought the box was bottomless because my spouse just kept reaching in and taking more things out. We were blown away by the sheer quantity of products in the box. Then we tried several items and were shocked at how delicious they were and how very high the quality is. Ive lived in Europe and this sausage is easily as good as what I ate there.My business client was completely unprepared for their gift; because its such a different type of business gift. Theyve already started eating it and cant decide whether to wait and enjoy it at their party or just sample it for weeks. They were totally pleased.I also have to mention that I received excellent customer service. Both when making the order and when I inquired about the specific delivery date.Excellent customer service, ridiculously low price for the value, and absolutely delicious top quality sausage, etc. Im thrilled with the reactions this gift has gotten!
I LOVE THIS PLACE! The young ladies behind the counter are so pleasant and friendly. This place can get busy so get there early and always have patience, it’s well worth it. Their selection of seconds or imperfects is awesome and there are plenty other options besides just sausage. Usinger sausages are the best in the city and well worth the wait!
Very helpful! Great service!
The best liver sausage ever.. Greatly Service
Love this place the sausage is great...working here for the 3rd time
I order my sausages from Usingers Famous Sausage. They are the best sausage Ive found in the United States thus far.If you are looking for authentic weiners, franks, and other sausages, you will be elated to have Usingers.
This is the best sausage of all types cant find better any place in the United States
Its hard to get closer than this to great old fashioned values, products, quality, and service.The counter is often busy, which gives time to admire the murals. Of course, it also means working up a hunger and thinking of more products to purchase, which is never a bad thing.Even when ordering online, shipped gifts still come with handwritten greetings. Theres hardly a better gift to someone far from Milwaukee than shipped Usingers sausages.All Usingers offerings are gold standards by which all competing products should be compared. From everybodys favourite Summer Sausages, to the must have Bratwurst, to the delectable Braunschweiger, to the top quality bacon, to the common ham, to the uncommon Blutwurst.Those from Milwaukee make regular pilgrimages to Usingers, those afar mail order by catalog, or online. Usingers products are also found in many finer Wisconsin supermarkets.
Probably the best massive produced sausage products along with Johnsonville. The fresh liver sausage is incredible. Try the kielbasa, very yummy.
Outstanding quality. Very helpful and caring employees. Many seconds available at attractive price. Its the real thing!
I’m mke born and raised . My GermanGrandmother worked in the deli at Gimbels on Plankington and Wisconsin Ave.Airways bring us the thinnest slices of Uslngers sausages. Summer sausage, bratwurst, Knockwurst,.liver sausage or a thin slice sausage somewhat like Genoa.Theres nothing to compare, dont bother!Uslngers has a long long history of the finest feeding mke and world wide.
As always, perfect!
Your Milwaukee airport Usingers is the worst! It is 10:30am, the place is empty. I buy tea and walk to bar to work where there are plugs at every seat. My plane leaves in an hour and I am prepping for a meeting at the other end.Rebecca, your bartender kicked me out of the bar unless I would purchase more and sent me three feet away to a table, saying there was a plug there. The plug is hanging out of the wall. I had to haul all my stuff which I had already set up, repack, unpack computer, etc. I will never ever buy anything at a Usingers again!I would have given zero stars but it wont work unless you populate at least one.
My dad grew up in Milwaukee, but he moved to Florida and had a family. My grandparents used to ship Usingers to us from Wisconsin. ALWAYS loved it when that package would arrive! The best!
I love Usingers. Didnt mind the short wait Saturday as there is plenty to look at. Pack of 4 interesting sausages for under two bucks!? YES PLEASE!
Always great service, great food, great selection and great prices!
Good selection of everything sausage. Service was friendly and helpful. Take a number when you get there. A few people there before us but it still went quickly.
I am president of a German cultural heritage society. We offer Usinger meat products at three of our major festivals (Brats-n-Brews, our Summer Biergarten festival and of course Oktoberfest).Since switching from a NY based German meat company, we have found our sales and event attendance steadily increasing. The people of New York love Usingers - and so should you !
We visited this store a few years ago and loved it, and last weekend we did it again, and loved it even more. Outstanding sausages and other related food products and great service.The sales person, Alora, took my order and started weighing and packing my stuff, but then found the some of it on sale and offered the same for less. Who else would do it?Great place!
Always worth the trip! Ring bologna that is near $7 at most stores is $4.99 here. Fantastuc selection of sausages. Liver sausage and braunschweiger so cheap. Its a must stop just for the history of the building if nothing else.
Great German style sausage and meats. Old world atmosphere and decor. Everything is delicious. Highly recommended.
I purchased some of their meat and cheese at a farmers market in Michigan. It was some of the best Ive ever had.
Spectacular deals on Usingers meats especially for those over 60 who get an additional 10 percent off. Right next store you can get a gift selection where they will send to a lucky recipient.
My grandmother came here, my father came here, and now my grown children and I come here. Worth the 3 hour drive! BEST sausage around!
Love this place. If you can stop in the store definitely check out the seconds table. Great deals to unbelievable deals!
Always great meat. $35 for a huge bag: 2 packages of bacon, chorizo, three pages of italian sausage, two brats, and some other meats. Really great deal.I will ALWAYS recommend the chorizo.
We LOVE this place. We come often and are never disappointed. We feel very fortunate to have this place so close by.
May it stand forever. My favorite Italians, brats and Polish Sausage. Makes Milwaukee a bit better with each product it makes
My father has been sending me gift packages from Usingers for at least 10 years. I think Ive tried everything at this point and have not been disappointed with the quality of food items. Only had one odd experience when my package was shipped to my PO Box and had spoiled before I knew it had arrived, but customer service rectified the problem and re-sent my gift box promptly.
Very good food but needs more help on the weekends. Semi long wait times. Highly recommended though.
Great authentic sausages! The best! I stop by fairly often, the staff is always friendly and very helpful.
I dig zombies, but didnt find any here, just great tasting sausage products. Have you tried their bacon? Amazingly good, it makes everything you put it in taste better. Applewood or Peppered, you cant go wrong. 5 stars in my book.
Great place to get sausage at great prices
I buy the great Usinger bacon from our local grocer. Every Christmas I send a box of their best to our son in the citys. Always the best. We then order a selection of their deli meat and brats for us. Cant say enough good. We live in a Wisconsin city (Madison) that has lots of delis and meat markets so we know a good product.. Keep up the good work.
Usingers is still the best. The ladies are taking care of customers as usual. Please remember that parking is limited and take a number when you walk in the store.
BEST BRATS AND BAVARIAN MEATS IN THE WORLD, BETTER THAN GERMANY.
Always worth the trip.
Finsta wursta!!! Great variety of sausages, wonderful historic atmosphere, and nice discount prices. I would give them 5 stars but they did not have their beefies on the irregular table.
Went for the first time this afternoon, and I was somewhat underwhelmed. The selection wasnt as large as I had hoped - I couldnt even get the buffalo and elk sausage I originally went to purchase. The wait time was astronomical despite nearly half of the people waiting having left before their number was called. The clerk named Lorraine was QUITE rude and unwelcoming to those she was serving. Luckily I was helped by a different staff memeber. I would still recommend the facility but know what youre getting into when you stop there.
Best place in Milwaukee for German style sausages. Be sure to ask about the seconds table.
Awesome products......... just be prepared to deal WITH ZOMBIE EMPLOYEES. avoid the lady that looks like Arnold from the 80s show different strokes. must be a temp.I like to go back and see the standard zombie ladies every year. Dont expect a smile or genuine thank youThey must torture these employees, they all look suicidal. With the exception of the Mexican lady, she was very nice next time I will wait for her to call on us.
Fantastic brats sausages etc. old time fee, reminded me of childhood in Germany/ holland. Service little slow but worth the wait, enjoy the experience.
Awesome, All the little Elfs were had at work. Bless their hearts.
Delicious! Great prices, worth the trip!
I have been purchasing Usinger products for close to 50 years. I keep coming back I have always been very satisfied. I now live away from Milwaukee and enjoy the online ordering. Usinger my favorite place for all my sausage and smoked shoulder butt needs.
You are a staple of the community and have great meats. Im a little disappointed in the staff you have in your store. We come to your store all the time because we live close by and have been to the store numerous times. Today, the person was very condescending and didnt even get the order correct. Im really disappointed and have to reconsider whether I come back.
Got a holiday gift certificate for 35 dollars. tried to order online...zombie website, you cant use a SERIAL NUMBERED gift card toward your online purchase...was told by zombie Rhoda, yes real name, that they dont do that. Ordered my stuff, 35 dollars worth...got told I had to send the gift cert in by mail and then they would credit my charge card...stuff came in mail...26 dollars shipping via UPS! packages the little sausages are broken and sausage is probably freezer burnt. two days late....bill comes in the mail....I dont remember what card I used to make the purchase so not sure if I paid or not...think the zombie may have worn off on me!! I have not tasted my purchase yet so I cannot comment on inner tube taste or not. will update after we eat the meat.
Great fresh sausage, beef sticks, and Jerky. You really cant go wrong.
Great experience, great selection.
Best sausage ever made!
Not only is this a fully functional deli with great products, but it is a mini museum of sorts, being a valuable part of Milwaukees history and economy!
Always something different. Excellent customer service and fantastic prices . Dont forget to check out the discount table.
