I stuff my own sausage from time to time and these expensive sausage links didn't make the grade. These sausages were very dense and flavorless. Truly disappointing. I purchased a few other items that were absolutely stellar. Just what I expected. Top cuts of Buffalo. My Buffalo T-Bone steaks were amazing coming off of my smoker. Take a pass on their Italian Sweet Buffalo Sausage. It was just Buffalo meat in a casing, no seasoning at all. That's were they lost one star.

She took all of what I wanted to buy of the counter placed it next to her feet and said we could take are service elsewhere. So of course I had to flip her off as we left.
