Our family stopped in to purchase coffee and to check out the local bison and elk meat. Turns out The Wurst Shop was the BEST shop. Everyone there was extremely friendly and helpful. We got to sample the sausage and bologna before we decided which one to purchase. We ended up purchasing a whole lot more. There's local honey, all sorts of meat, seafood, and cheese. We were introduced to kuchen and even got to sample that as well. What a great shop to have nearby that sells local and supports the community! read more

My visit to this part of the country was last minute and short, but I knew I couldn't miss out on the Wurst Shop. Every summer we order their seasoning and have it shipped out of state and make our own country style and summer sausage, so I was especially excited to bring home their sausage today! When we arrived they were closed! Luckily, the side door was open and we met the owner who let us shop! What a nice guy! My to-go order included mixed country style sausage (fanatic flavor), smoked ribs (yummy - I wish I picked up more), beef sticks (tasty homemade beef jerky that only lasted two days before being gobbled up by my teenagers), and apricot kuchen (another item I wish I had gotten more of because it was so creamy and sweet). If you don't live in the area, you can always purchase their secret spice mix ($15 to make 50lbs sausage) and have it shipped to you and make your own version of the Wurst Shop sausage! read more

Neat little meat market, too bad the kitchen was still closed for renovations when I came. They have typical cold meats and cheeses, a freezer section selling anything from elk to alligator, cheese curds, slim jims, jerky, kuchen, cheeses, brats, spaetzle, and even local horsersdish. I ended up buying some jalapeño jerky, smoked pork sausage and smoked mixed sausage to take back to Texas. They were nice enough to vacuum seal and wrap all items in butcher paper to help them keep cool for the day. The jerky was not spicy to me and I could barely taste the jalapeno flavor actually. The smoked sausages were a little on the bland side compared to others I've had across the US. Also, the smokiness was not very apparent, like many smoked sausages in the South. read more

Great German food. Manager was awesome and knowledgeable. There was 2 other younger woman working that need a lot more experience and just stood around the whole time we were there but I still would come back as there isn't many places like this anymore. Kuchen is amazing here!!! read more

The Wurst meats are excellent. The German sausages are the best , reminded me of when my dad would bring smoked sausage home from North Dakota. The Kuchen is great. If traveling close you need to stop. read more

I'm not sure what I had at this point but I remember it was liver based, I despise liver but in this case it was absolutely scrumptious, just drop you dead delicious. This place is a must go! read more

I just love cramming a huge sausage in my mouth so I can savor every bit of it. There are two separate parts of this business: There is a meat shop and a little lunch section. Kevin works the Bratwurst Bar and is very friendly. The food isn't anything fancy, but it's damn good. He cooks up a variety of sausages including beef, sauerkraut, cheddar and jalapeno. I'm sure there are more, but that's what was on the menu today. A side of potato salad, at $2, is a little pricy but it is home made and definitely not bought from somewhere else. The shop portion has a wide selection of frozen meats, and seafood, including some non-standard fare like buffalo, elk and venison. There is a large selection of frozen kuchen too (German cakes). As if that wasn't enough, there's a selection of fresh sausages and they'll cut your steaks to order. I will definitely be back. read more

Authentic german food or fusion w flare. Food was decent and balanced. We tried cajun, curry, elk, and cheddar w sides of german potato salad, green beans, and Texas potato salad. Service was friendly. Only complaint is the sign and website said it opened at 8, we got there at 10:45 and they said they weren't serving until 11. We sat and waited but others came and jumped line on us. The line was VERY slow to move and the sausages had to be finished heating in a microwave which i am sure influenced mouth feel and flavor. The place was small but did have 3 of 4 seat tables to sit at. Bill for 4 people sharing two plates and drinking water was $30. read more

We travel a lot and sometimes we end up in small or less-travelled-to places. At times like that, finding somewhere truly unique is a real treasure. Yesterday, while stopping for a quick lunch, we went to The Wurst Shop In Dickinson because it was #1 on Trip Advisor but also because of the name. I'm not personally fond of sausage products, but those who were with me said the varieties of wurst available were spectacular. I ended up eating their homemade spaghetti and it was far better than homemade! To make the experience even better, the head chef would take breaks from the kitchen by joining in on some musical jam sessions that often happen at the restaraunt. What a charming experience. Such friendly, good hearted people too. read more

Great, great brats, and lots of variety. Cajun, Italian, curry, original, and more. The sandwich was awesome, with all the fixins, plus he made this dipping sauce for the Italian made from different balsamic vinegars and a few other secret ingredients. The sides were awesome also.. Got a half & half, so I could try a few. Loved both.. the cucumber onion salad ("gherkin salad") and the jalapeño corn (which was similar to a casserole, but less sticky/cheesy.. really really good). Great place in Dickinson, ND! Oh, and Awesome service by the guy who's cooking all this up. Super nice dude. read more

The Wurst Shop - Italian brat all the way, with a huge "2 halves" side. Awesome food and service. - Meat Shops Near Me - Dickinson, North Dakota

Ken and his staff will cater to all your needs! His summer sausage is fantastic! It's a real treat to go in and be greeted by name!

Before finding this place I would say there was not one place in this town worth eating at. The first time I came to town to buy a facility I asked the realtor where the best place in town was to eat.... he said probably Applebee's..... that is a sad commentary on this town. I spent the next 3 years to prove him wrong.... before I found this place he was correct. This place is totally legit. A great lunch place if you want sausage or a French dip. read more

This may be one of the best restaurants in the country, on the continent of North America, or possibly on earth. Simple, wholesome, and good. The service is fast and friendly and the sides are awesome. These folk can cook. I'm serious. The string beans are awesome and full of flavor. The sweet potatoes are scrumptious and remind me of home cooking in Alabama, just healthier. I'm serious. read more

This is just for the sausage - solid 4 stars - the elk/pork slim jims was awesome! The mango habanero was just ok. Looking forward to trying the French Dip sandwich - looked good and another person in line recommended it. read more

Our favorite place to get fresh meat. Their handcut ribeye steaks are to die for. We order them about 1.5" thick and they hit the spot every time. Also a great spot to find other North Dakota made products. read more

Just a tiny spot with some amazing food. The people were nice and the food was glorious. I would recommend it to anyone looking to venture outside of the hum drum spots we are all used to. The only negative thing is that it doesn't open until noon and closes early at six. I probably saw 20 people show up and leave because of the late opening time. I would look into changing my hours to 11:00am if I were the owner. read more

Best Cheddar brats ever! They have a wonderful collection on local honey and mustards too.

I always like to try local places. If you're in town, id recommend you stop here for lunch. The name says it all, if your here you're having bratwurst. Very tasty, friendly staff. read more

The Wurst Shop is the best! I wish I lived closer to Dickinson so I could try more of their items. They have so much meat...sausage, beef sticks, summer sausage, elk steaks, scallops, head cheese, liver wurst, buffalo...the list never ends! I got to try some of the summer sausage, and it was quite tasty. The also have a large selection of food mixes, spices, and condiments, with and emphasis on German foods and meat seasoning. In the refrigerator you can find cheese curds and special European pastries and baked goods. They carry Killebrew cream soda, which I discovered I love, but is sadly only available in a few northern states. I picked up a German cookbook on my last visit - I have honestly never heard of many of the dishes, but am excited to try out some recipes! read more

Stopped in as we drove through on I-94 based on the reviews. At first was a bit skeptical - service was chaotic and curt, and lots of food uncovered and exposed to customers waiting in line. And there in only seating for about 18 customers. But surprise, we scored a table and the food really was delicious. Plain brats and mango habanero brats both yummy, and sides of Mac n cheese, broccoli salad and potato salad were remarkably good. Turned out to be a welcome respite from all the chain food crap along the highway. I'd go back for sure. read more

Went for lunch at their German Chalet/ Brat Bar after hearing about it opening last summer. OH MY!!!! That was GOOOD! I ordered a huge sauerkraut brat, with a side of Knoefla and German potato salad. Also had a microbrew root beer. Everything had fresh, delicious ingredients, no Sysco canned food here! I'm 3/4 German, and from within 70miles of Milwaukee, and I can honestly say this is probably the best German food I've had since I have been in ND!! 10/10 I'm coming back! read more

WOW! We were driving through on a cross country vacation. We found this place on YELP and it was FANTASTIC! The people were charming and the German food was authentic and delicious!

The best bratwurst i have ever had. Everything surrounding the brat makes it the best, from the toasted roll, to the hand shredded cheese, to the fresh cut peppers and spicy mustard. Got to get there early though, they close at 6. Would of given them 5 stars but you cant get a beer with your brat. No liquior licence! read more

I have driven by this place hundreds of times but never thought about stopping by until my coworker raved about this palace of snausage!!! The service is warm and personable and the food is. Tasty and hardy. I could go on but you just need to come in and eat. read more

I really like the food here! It's one of these best places to eat in town. However, the photos on yelp are a bit misleading. There isn't anyone in a chef uniform making things fresh. It starts as almost buffet style except you order and they pull food from the warmers. The brats are cooked on a grill fresh for you and your bun can be toast as well as cheese. The sides are premade but delicious. Definitely worth it!! Just wanted to point out the photos as someone could be expecting a different kind of service and be disappointed read more

We were enroute to visit Theodore Roosevelt NP and I had picked this spot out as a potential hidden gem. Located right off I-94 I was salivating thinking about the chance to eat all the different speciality brats and sides. Unfortunately, we happened to arrive on a day where they were having technical difficulties and as such their kitchen/grill was closed. Bummer. Yet the sausage gods were smiling on us that day. The owner chatted us up, and upon hearing about our cross country road trip, took it upon himself to at least whip up a small taste of what we were hoping for. A simple brat dog but I was blown away by the effort to make us feel welcomed and appreciated for visiting his shop despite the unfortunate circumstances. He recommended places we should visit as we continued our trip into Montana, all while proudly and kindly serving local customers coming to purchase their renowned meats. Aside from their prepared foods menu which looks AMAZING - for travelers we were eager to splurge on all the different unique goodies they also offer such as multiple flavors of Uncle Bud's deep fried peanuts, some delicious cured meats (these were so good to snack on while driving), and a few spices/seasonings we used for some campground meals. I would most definitely return here just for the kindness and appreciation bestowed to us. Fingers crossed we can taste the infamous kitchen menu one day! read more

This is a little butcher shop offering their in house bratwurst for a meal. Along with the many different flavours of bratwurst you can try they have delicious homemade sides including mac and cheese, creamed corn and potato salad to name a few. The portions are big so you won't leave hungry and you will want to take what you can't finish with you. read more

Most disappointing culinary experience in Dickinson. The Wurst Shop is certainly known for their authentic Bratwurst - however the in-house bistro addition unfortunately is absolutely clueless how to prepare and serve the wide verity of offered sausages. Everyone of their sausages are floating in a murky water bath. Perhaps the owner should lookup "Bratwurst" in Google Translate and try to prepare the sausage the intended way. Boiling a sausage is an absolute no-no, and serving canned cold sauerkraut with it - wow??? Btw- the bistro server actually collected the water-bathed sausage with her hands (yes she had a blue synthetic cleaning-glove on) - instead of using a food tong. Yikes. The festive and cozy atmosphere however did not make up for the horrible and expensive ($25 fir2) one-time experience!!! read more

Not what I expected. Way better! Pick your meat and your sandwich and the homemade sides were fantastic. Service was excellent. Don't judge a book by its cover this place is awesome. read more

Went to the market side. Quality products. Bought fresh - no frozen - brauts and cooked them same day. Good stuff.

Possibly the best German food on the Plains - likely beyond that, too. I can't remember the last time I had a lunch so delicious. The store attached is also an amazing butcher shop that I'm flat out jealous of - the people living around Dickinson are lucky so have such a gem! If you're within 300 miles of this place it's worth the drive. read more

Based on the reviews, I decided to check it out and was not disappointed. Friendly staff and excellent food.
