Amazing schnitzel sandwich! Call ahead to make sure you get one!! Staff is friendly and helpful. Great sandwiches!

Great place from a midwestern who knows beef, sausage and game Will always buy from there read more

The reasons I shopped here are fast disappearing. No fresh lingonberries, no lutefisk, no cuminost cheese, no ability to order fresh potato sausage. It seems like the store has been sold or at the very least taken over by someone who does not understand the mission. read more

I have been coming here to get fresh grilled sausages, since I was a toddler. This mom and pop shop is amazing. Family owned and ran. read more

Werner's Fine Sausages - German brat and cheddar worst. - Meat Shops Near Me - Mission, Kansas

KC you are missing out not knowing about this place. Cannot beat the quality of food for the price. Makes no sense to go to Goodscents Lenny's Sub Way unless you are looking for a baked sandwiches. Schnitzel sandwich to Uboat all crazy good. Stop supporting chains when we you have a local gem to go to. Saturdays are the bomb for grilling homemade brats and sausages outside. And to make even better the nicest people taking your order and you get to look at some fun food stuff and other things you can buy while waiting for your sandwich read more

This is a hidden gem in Kansas City. I'm not big on sausages, but these were in a league of their own. Dare I say, best sausages in Kansas City? Outside the store on Saturdays til 2:30pm, Werner's serves sausages on a bun (bratwurst, knockwurst, Polish, Italian, cheddar bier and andouille) for $4.25 each. You can even call ahead and order a different sausage and it will be ready when you arrive. read more

A little pricey for hot dog's but they did taste good I got the chili cheese dog you'll need a fork and knife. Lol

Real German Bratwurst, My favorite. We used to go to Grunauer for their bratwurst's but they changed to more modern bratwurst so we stopped going, we recently found Werner's where you can eat there or buy the brats to cook at home. read more

Amazing andouille brat...they grill out on Saturdays. PERFECT char. A must have in KC.

One of the best lunch spots in the metro. Great sandwiches and good grocery items. I have been for weekly lunches and on Saturdays they were grilling sausages outside. So good. read more

Great food, great staff, old school deli counter that probably hasn't changed in 50 years.

I love this place and there's not much else I want to say.. But I will. I don't care if it's a Saturday, Monday, whatever day it is I'll eat Werners if I can. You see the line, and you see the line go. The food is so quick you're in and out in a jiffy. If you really complain about a line HERE.. Maybe it isn't the place for you. I'll enjoy more food if you don't. All in all this weiner joint has been here forever and should always be here. No modifications needed. Man on the grill will always give you a smile and make sure what you're getting is to your likings and the guys at the stand will always top what you get with some delicious toppings.. Wanna go here? Do it.. Will you see me? Possibly.. Will I buy you a Brautwurst? No.. read more

Solid market with some top-notch sausage-fests on Saturdays. You can see the smoke wafting down Johnson Drive as they grill out all kinds of their sausages, all at a couple bucks a pop on Saturday. If you take one thing away from this review it would be to check them out on these occasions. The rest of the market is okay, specializing in German and other European goodies that you're not likely to find at many other places. We tried some lebkuchen, a German cookie that we our family makes around the holidays. We wanted to compare cookies and let me just say we'll keep making these on our own. You can buy their sausages frozen to go, as well as pick up a lunch any day of the week inside. read more

Werner's is great, love the fresh white brats, several other good choices as well. Good textures and flavors from the sausages, great on the grill or in a Yorkshire pudding. read more

Good sausage good customer service. Very relaxed and chill ambiance. Highly recommend, they have good food.

Fantastic! Got 2 Italian sausages for a holiday dinner. They were outstanding! Pastrami was great as well!

So much love for Werner's and their food. We love German food and building a German-inspired lunch and Werner's has us covered for the essentials. We typically pick up a variety of brats so we can build our own sampling. Some of our favorites are the classic, smoked cheddar, and knockwurst. An absolute necessity: the german potato salad. You CANNOT skip out on this. It's probably my favorite in the KC area, and we always buy the biggest container available (or two smaller ones) because it doesn't last in our household. Definitely worth going on Saturdays when they have the grill set up. Grab a bite to go, or you can sample some of the different brats. The person working the counter sent us out there once when we couldn't decide what we wanted. The gentleman working the grill basically gave us samples of everything he was grilling. So cool they let us do that and so helpful in deciding what we wanted. read more

On Saturdays the outdoor grill serves from 11:00 am - 2:30 pm. I've been coming here for Saturday outdoor grilled sausages for over 20 years. The bratwurst and knackwurst are my favorites. The bun bread is fabulous. read more

This place is pretty cool! I've walked through the small store before but never needed anything. I've only came on Saturday though during the "Sausage Anonymous" Meetings LOL. Brat with Sauerkraut and German Mustard...how can you go wrong? So good! They make their sausage in house and the flavors are pretty good! read more

Werner's Fine Sausages - Yum brat with sauerkraut and German mustard - Meat Shops Near Me - Mission, Kansas

Usually the food is great (made on site Swedish "patatiskorv" sausage!), but yesterday I bought their German potato salad, and when I got home the potatoes were raw. Oooooops !! read more

A hidden gem! All I can say is that all of their sausages and sandwiches are delicious, the people are great, and the prices are incredible. Be sure to do a drive-by early afternoons when they happen to be outside working the grill. They offer the absolute best polish sausages on the planet! read more

Used to ride my bike up & down this stretch of Johnson Drive as a kid, but never stopped until a few weeks as a 60+ person. Cool place, but the Reuben I ordered to go had no sauce. neither 1000 Island or Russian. Dry and horrible. Pleasant staff. read more

I GET people liking this place because it's one of the only German places in the metro. I GET people like the speciality market and the products offered. I DONT get the lines and excitement for the sausage stand on the weekends. Grilled brats on a bun with mustard and half of Shawnee Mission lines up? I'm not really surprised given that we're talking about Johnson County, but what gives? Annoying grillmaster thinks he's on stage at the Improv, being a smart ass to customers and most absolutely eat it up. If he had a sense of humor to go along with his act it would help. I guess when 90% of your culinary life is spent inside a Chipotle/Panera/Starbucks...you need this sort of local flavor. The brats weren't particularly any better than what you can buy off a HyVee meat counter and throw on your grill. The store is nice and includes lots of unique products, but the weekend brat cookouts are overrated in a major way. read more

Excellent 'old-world' workmanship in their house made sausages! I've been around many meat markets both in North America and in Europe and this one ranks among the top-tier if you are looking for authentic, German/Eastern Europe meat preparations. On my most recent trip I found Portuguese sausage next to Polish, beside German, Italian, and Andouille (N'Orleans) you get the scope of potential! Not only those (although an expertise) but also cuts of meat and prepared meals. At lunch, they do a HUGE business with hand made sandwiches that people line up to take away to eat. But if you're pressed for time, there is ample eating area on a long table at the front of the store. Side dishes, soda and chips all yours for the selection! A great way to reconnect with pleasant childhood memories (if you accompanied your Mom to shop at such a place in past years--as I had) and make new ones. (I can't resist a pun here...) At Werner's the 'Best is the Wurst!'... read more

After reading a not-so-positive review, I was kind of hoping to be greeted by a grumpy old man. But alas, that was not the case today for lunch at Werner's. In fact, the staff was very pleasant. I was treated to a sample of the grilled sausage of the day (Andouille)... And it was fantastic! They earned 5 stars on the rich, well-seasoned and obviously-made-in-house sausage that was grilled perfectly. It had a kick to it, which makes sense for a Cajun-inspired sausage. The casing had a nice snap to it, and I asked them to dress it with sauerkraut and spicy mustard. It was an explosion of flavor. Can't wait to go back for a Saturday sampling of the wide variety of sausages! I'm very curious about the cheddar bierwurst and the polish varieties - but I'll try as many as I can. Yum-yum. read more

Excellent Andouille sausage for just $4. Available on the grill between 11 and 1 on Fridays. Friendliness of staff has been repeatedly limited. read more

We saw them on food paradise and stopped in last Saturday. We were too late for the grilled lunch cart but the lady working wrapped up four of the beer cheddar wurst. As we were about to pay, she said we also have a Jalapeño version and my wife was like we should've got some. The lady wrapped a single one for free. I put them on my rotisserie this week with some good rolls and man they were good. Great snap, great flavor. I preferred the flavor in the non- jalapeño version. Overall great experience while we were there and after we got them home to try them. We had one leftover so this morning it went into weekend breakfast hash, delicious. read more

Werner's Fine Sausages - Used some oh the beer cheddar wurst for breakfast hash. Good move. - Meat Shops Near Me - Mission, Kansas

Their sausages are great, but their Rubens are lacking serverly.

I have driven past here countless times and I saw a few reviews for it here on Yelp and it convinced me to stop in for a sandwich today. There are all sorts of options for sandwiches and I opted for the smoked turkey based on a recommendation for a fellow Yelper. My sandwich was awesome! At least two inches of smoked, pulled turkey piled high on whole wheat bread with onions, tomatoes, smoked chedder and spicy mustard. The best part? It was less than $4. Very friendly service as well. I've found my new sandwich spot during the week, definitely will be back to try all the other options. read more

The owner is very rude. The sausages are not so fine and once again, The owner is a real gobble shackle. I mean top of the line bing bong. The type of guy who has a sausage pun for a license plate. Real babaganoosh if you ask me. 5 stars for the nice lady in the kitchen tho. read more

This is an amazing shop with some of the finest ingredients that lend toward creating an authentic German meal or just adding some international flavor. But where this store won my heart is the fantastic sandwich counter in the back making some of the greatest of classic sandwiches and other items with a new twist. The price is always right for these monster sandwiches. They often have a sandwich of the day as well for those on a tighter budget. The service is quick and with a smile. Never have I not gotten exactly what I ordered and the staff is quick to explain in a non-condescending way what uncommon ingreedients are. read more

Ordered the Reuben. Super disappointed. Should have suspected when the grumpy man asked "hot or cold"...? Maybe I'm not diehard enough to do cold sauerkraut, and maybe I should have pursued this further, but the grumpy man was impatient with us newbies. And we were the only ones in there, on a Monday, at 12:30. Very unfriendly. I wanted to buy some brats and kielbasa but given the grumpy man and sorry sandwich, I lost my desire to spend any more money and time at Werner's. Hope to try Grinders for a real Reuben soon. read more

Most of the sausages and deli meats are real German recipes. I spent close to 30 years in Germany and am married to a German. Staff is super friendly and helpful. read more

If you love sausage the way I do, this is the place for you! Handmade German, Italian , Polish and South American sausage, all in one place. The brats and polish sausages for me are the best I'b had. Also, the serve sandwiches from the small deli counter, and on nice weekends days they have a man grilling their sausages for you for lunch. They carry slow smoked pork chops that I like to bring home and then gently heat on the grill - heaven! Besides the sausages :) Werner's stocks a wide variety of authentic German items for your own cooking - from spaetzle to sauces and thin sliced rouladen meat. I stop by whenever I'm close by, maybe a little too often! read more

I grew up in Madison, WI where bratwursts are part of your typical diet. I could always tell which meat market or grocery store brats came from because each had their own taste and all of them were great. All homemade with natural casings, etc. I've been buying brats and other delicious items at Werner's for over twenty years. I think they're the best in KC. Try some! You won't be disappointed. I'm on my way there now! read more

One of my German buddies and I were out in the area looking for a quick lunch when I told him that there was a German shop in Mission. Being that he does not show much emotion, I was totally shocked and scared when I saw him jumping up and down like a kid in a candy store. This is what Werner's will do to a grown man. Werner's is known for it's homemade sausage and whatnot. I personally use their polish sausage when I make rice and beans. It is also stupid delicious to have one right off the grill. But what really makes this place stand out from a bunch of wannabes in the area is Knackwurst Knack WHAT? Knackwurst is a German sausage that has the appearance of a Hot dog, but has a totally different flavor. If you have yet to try this stuff, you need to get off your consolate butt and get out to this place. Grab a few and grill them at home. Or even better you can go out on Saturday mornings and afternoon's where you will see one of the owners grilling street side selling everything from homemade brats to knacks and all else for $3. Please keep in mind that they sell an andoullie sausage that is fake and nothing like the real thing. Andoullie is traditionally a very coarse pork sausage seasoned with garlic, onions and a barrage of Cajun/Creole seasonings (See my review on Jacob's World Famous Andoullie later). Their interpretation of the sausage is polish sausage with a bunch of red pepper. I will say it is VERY delicious, however it is not an andoullie sausage. I once purchased one of their homemade brats and made it at home. It was totally disgusting. This was a total opposite experience than having the brat they grilled at the store. Which by the way, was finger licking good. So I'll get around to asking them what I did wrong and yada yada. But please try this place. And if you have a German friend, tell them about this place. You might see them jump up and down too! read more

Werner's makes delicious sausages. I particularly like the ones with potato in them, and the liverwurst. It's also a reliable source of my favorite cheese, bierkase, a smelly but nutty and lovely-tasting washed-rind variety. (Every single time I buy it the deli person has made their distaste of handling it plain and questioned whether I was sure this was the order I intended. I think if I was the manager I would discourage my employees from being all "ew gross" about a product I had for sale, but it hasn't felt like intentional rudeness. I choose to think it's funny.) Werner's is a very good source for german products, and most of the charcuterie and cheese seems german. They also sell various whole rye breads frozen. The scandinavian products are more limited, and mostly are canned. But hey, glad I have a place to buy canned fiskeboller when the craving strikes. read more

Thank goodness for this place. Been trying to find Portuguese linguiça in KC ever since I moved here. Not Brazilian linguiça... Portiguese linguiça. Wener's came through. Thanks guys! read more

Wow, just wow. No amount of bad costumer service could ruin these amazing sausages. This place is absolutely amazing

We ate here for the first time Saturday when they were grilling in the parking lot! I had the bier brat with cheese my husband had the andouille and it was spicy but full of flavor. I enjoyed the bier brat , very juicy yet mild with the German mustard for a hearty kick. We shared a baked bean and German potato salad that he loved but not my fave, I prefer traditional mayo type. The beans were sweet and Smokey, and they have different flavors to purchase in store. We will be back!! read more
