Unfortunately, Ruef's Meat Market is no longer in business. Visual observation 08/10/2022. J. Mann read more

Ruef's is an old-timey small town butcher shop. Most of what they sell is homemade sausage vs. chops/steaks. If you're looking for brats, this place definitely has you covered with two dozen varieties including taco, bacon bleu cheese, super spicy, onion beer and a whole bunch more. Outside of brats, most of the sausages are German/Swiss varieties like Mettwurst or Thuringer. We left with a few different types to try as well as some spicy landjaegers. Pretty much every restaurant in town serves their stuff so you can try it before you buy. If you like it, they'll happily ship most items to you. read more

Some of the best brats you will ever get. My parents live an hour away from New Glarus and even though the brewery was closed we still took the drive just to go to Ruef's and pick up some brats. Tons of really unique flavors like philly cheese steak, pizza, etc. We seriously ended up buying about 56 brats for us and for some friends back home. New Glarus isnt a big town so if you go to the brewery you must stop here with a cooler to pick up some meat for later. read more

See all

CLOSES EARLY ON SUNDAY'S!!!!!! Make note of this if you go on a Sunday. I made sure I got there before closing this time, since the previous time I was in New Glarus they had closed. After having their "Portable Wisconsin" brat for dinner last night, I will be making sure I stop by for more next time I'm in town. They are damn tasty. So yeah, several varieties of house made brats, sausage, and landjaeger for sale along with a few other local made cheeses. All the brats are available frozen, so bring a cooler along for your road trip back home. read more

I order the Landjaeger as a special Christmas gift for my husband who is Swiss. He always says they are the best Landjaeger he has ever tasted outside of Switzerland.They are probably not to every ones liking as they tend to be hard but if you are Swiss in particular, you are going to absolutely love them. Well worth paying a little extra for the real thing. read more

Smoked meats (hickory, no liquid smoke here) made on site. We picked up some salami and cheese for a day trip but will be back for their brats, especially after eating one of their foot-longs at the Sportsman Bar next door. Wow! Veal sausages and he even had whole smoked chickens! It don't get more real. Great stuff. Check out the website, he'll ship the stuff right to you. read more

Went here after tasting some beers at the brewery. The smell hits you immediately upon entering, which is a good thing because it really is a great scent. To me, it meant that this was the place to be if you want carefully crafted and traditional style food, which turned out to be the case. The jalapeño brats were absolutely perfect - very cheesy with a perfect kick. Very high quality. Staff was friendly. Will be going back to try some of their other goodies. read more

I love stopping here any time we are in the area - I was introduced to the infamous Landjaeger by my boyfriend and haven't looked back since (the spicy ones are amazing!) The brats here are excellent as well, a variety of flavors to keep things interesting. read more

We stopped here during our visit to New Glarus. It is a cute small butcher shop nestled in the cozy Main Street area of town. We picked up some smoked brats, some Cervelas (A type of Swiss sausage) and a bit of beef jerky. If you're on Main Street in New Glarus, this place makes a great stop. read more

I am writing this review of the Ruef's Landjaeger sausage. Easily the best in Wisconsin, and that's saying something. They have two kinds, regular and hot/spicy. Best to get some of each, as they are both excellent. They have some drying/aging on the custom "chalet" rack, and more in the refrigerated case. I always choose the aged air dried ones as they are much more concentrated in flavor and intense, with much more texture and bite. But its easy to air dry fresh ones, a few days drying and presto. Ruef's obviously has a time tested recipe and no corners are cut, it's not a cheap snack, but well worth the effort to get to New Glarus. read more

The BF and I were killing time before New Glarus Brewery opened so we decided to stop here since it was one of the few stores that were opened. It smelled fantastic inside and it made me wish I lived in WI so I could buy some of their smoked meats to cook up for myself. Alas, we had to settle for their landjaegers, a dried beef and pork snack sausage. Think gourmet Slim Jims. We liked them so much we came back and bought a bunch more for the road. If you find yourself in the area, make Ruef's a stop and stock up on your dried snack meats. read more

My wife and I stopped in here while we were visiting and walking around downtown New Glarus. It's a small, but friendly business with many creative meat creations. The following night I grilled some of their bacon bleu cheese brats and loved every bite. We'll definitely come back next time we're in town. read more

You really need to check Ruef's out. The brats and cheese are fantastic! Chris and Rita, the owners, are great. We brought home several different items. Love them all! read more

Purchased swedish meatball mix and even though it was overpriced, which would have been okay if they tasted great. What a disappointment! Salty, no flavor and lots of grease. Threw them out after tasting a few. It was awful! read more
