We took the very long ride out to Karl's Sausage Kitchen because our local source of Swedish…read moresausage closed recently. : ( The store was easy to find and a short distance off the highway. It's not a large store, but they have a wide variety of imported Scandinavian food, some local baked goods and a variety of meat that's packaged to order. Maybe it wasn't a good idea to go so close to Christmas on the weekend? I'm not sure if it's always that busy or not, but the parking lot was full and there was a lot of people in the store. We picked a few treats to try and got a frozen package of their Swedish meat sausage (I didn't see the potato sausage). We also decided to try their bratwurst and ordered some of that at the meat counter. We enjoyed our purchases, we loved the bratwurst and the Swedish meat sausage was good, but we definitely would have preferred the potato sausage that I grew up eating. I'm not sure when we'll make it back because it was a really long ride just for that, but I would definitely recommend it and I'd shop there regularly if I lived closer.

Karl's used to have a restaurant attached to it a few years ago. However, since they moved they no…read morelonger serve hot food. They are still a European grocery store where you can buy imported food, and they have a deli counter where you can get all different types of sausages- You just have to take it home and cook it yourself. We got the weisswurst and the knockwurst and cooked them in a homemade beer sauce. they were delicious. It is a little pricey for how much sausage you get, but it is imported so that's understandable. We also got the frozen schnitzel, which was also really good. We put it in the air fryer and it made for a quick weekday lunch. The service was pretty good- staff seemed friendly and knowledgeable. I don't think I would go out of my way to come here, but if i'm in the area sometime I'd love to stop by again.

Recommended to us by some locals as a great place for "tourists" to go. I can't agree, since the…read moretwo bartenders on duty were slinging drinks to their buddies while ignoring us. (They clearly saw me there; we made eye contact and the one guy wasn't even doing anything.) After about 10 to 15 minutes of waiting with no service, we were about to leave when a server finally came to our table. Since they were obviously busy and weren't keeping up with the crowd that night, we tried to order two drinks each so they could save a little of their time and we could relax without worrying about if a server was going to take our order again before the end of the week. The server very sharply said that he was NOT going to give us two drinks at a time, CERTAINLY not with drinks of this high alcohol content. We ordered one drink each, cashed out and bounced. The cocktail I got was fine; I could make a slightly worse version at home at a fraction of the price (or even two at once!). We we were told later by a friendlier Salemite at a bar with a better vibe that there is a Massachusetts state law that prohibits having two drinks at once at a bar. Fair enough. Had our server told us that, unfortunately, he wasn't allowed to give us two drinks at once -- instead of making us feel like idiots/degenerates for daring to ask -- we probably would have dropped a lot of vacation money there that night. Oh well; we had a great time at the other places we went.

The place is order at the counter and there are a few tables inside this cozy space. They also offer GrubHub and DoorDash delivery too! I ordered the Hamburger ($9 plus tax) and Macarrao Na Chapa with Chicken ($12 plus tax) and my food was packed and ready to go in about 15 minutes. The Hamburger was very thick which had a well done chewy firm beef patty, lettuce, tomato, corn, peas, mayo, and potato sticks on a big soft sweet bun. The Macarrao Na Chapa with Chicken was a very generous portion of al dente spaghetti with grilled chicken, onions, bacon, corn, sauce and melted mozzarella cheese. This dish was pretty salty tasting and filling. I've been snacking on this pasta dish after work. I will probably try out the Chicken Alfredo with Ziti and one of their pizzas on the next visit.
