Growing up in Wisconsin I've always had an affinity for a good sausage. This place is outstanding. Reminds me of the family-run corner grocery store where I grew up in Milwaukee. No longer do I have to wait for Wisconsin trips to retrieve solid brats/polish/italian for my cookouts. Rivals anything one can find in the Land of Cheese. Just returned from shopping for this weekend's cookout and tried a beefstick - awesome. read more

I can't believe it took me this long to come here. Fantastic old world sausage, served by friendly staff. One visit and suddenly I have a new favorite. read more

The Wurst Kitchen has outstanding sausage! Their varieties are incredible and perfect for all year. If you are looking for something special, call ahead. My personal favorite is the smoked brats. They are very busy on most weekends, especially the big holiday weekends in summer (Memorial Day, July 4, Labor Day). read more

By far the best brats and sausages I've ever had. The variety is amazing, and they have a great selection of fresh sausages every time I go. Whenever I have guests over from outside Aurora, I grill up some fresh brats from Wurst Kitchen, and my bbq is a knockout! Everyone has their favorites here, but honestly, I've never had a sausage I didn't like. The fact that this place has been open, in this storefront since 1895, and is still owned by the same family, is simply amazing. This place is a gem, and I encourage anyone to support this local, family owned business. The staff is always friendly, and I'm gonna say this again, the sausages are AMAZING. You can't even find a place like this in Chicago, this place is a gem, right here in Aurora! read more

This place is pure AWESOME I go there for every cookout since I was a kid.Kicker brats are my favorite but if you like spicy try the cherry bombs!!!!!Oh and who broke there sign out front these people are first class all the way hope they dont get discourage by the idiots who broke there sign.I will be going there again this summer I wish they were open on sunday but I guess plan ahead and its not a problem.... read more

All types of brats/sausages. Try the Kickers for a little spice. No ketchup allowed and all for a reasonable $.

This is such a best kept secret! Great homemade brats and awesome mustard selection.

The king of all things sausage! Try their hot chicken wing brat. Amazing! He does fantastic things with wild game too for us hunters. I drive from Lake Zurich just for his fare read more

This place is the best. Went on a meat tour last Saturday. Started at Josef's Deli in Geneva then Reems in Elburn with our final stop at the Wurst Kitchen. You can't beat this place. Hands down the best value as compared to those other places and the best part is we had lunch outside as they were cooking up brats all day long. Looks like an old neighborhood grocery. Family run for generations I am betting. Hidden gem on Aurora's east side. Worth the drive They have fresh sausages in the main counter and about 40 different kinds in a freezer in back. I like the normal ones but they get a little crazy with chocolate Brats, taco flavor and a ton of other types. I have been going there once a year for about 20 years now and stock up on all the brats I need all summer long. When I need some I just pull out of the freezer. I always get a few fresh ones to have later that day as a treat. Best hidden secret place in the western suburbs for brats and sausage. read more

This place has supposedly been around since the 1800's so you can figure any business around that long is doing something right. They've got the bratwurst perfected for sure. Delicious! It's pricier then other places but the quality is way beyond what you'll get from one of those big name brands. Wurst Kitchen is the BEST! read more

Order the Kickers very hot and spicy ! We've been going for years best customer service!

I love this place!!! The original sausage stick is my favorite totally recommend!! Never been disappointed

We were at a fair were they were and had a brat, it was delicious. They had a card at their counter and I picked one up, three years later I finally made it to their establishment. We had some samples and picked up about $125 different brats. So far we ate the potato brat, and it was the best tasting brat I have had! Their prices are a little high and parking does suck but well worth the trip, we got everything frozen which was a great thing because we live a little far away. The staff sure knows a lot about their business which is very helpful. I can't wait to go back! read more

My family started out on the east side down from the store, and we have been customers since at least the 1920's. Area was settled by Germans, thus the German butcher shop. I remember as a kid all the meats and cheeses. Those days are gone, but that is ok. The brat business suits them just fine. All the brats are delicious. I love the kickers. If you are into hot stuff, go with the atomic. Loved it, but I don't recommend it if you find the kickers hot. Highly recommended and always good meats. read more

Love this place!!! Never tasted a brat as good as the one's you can buy here! Totally worth the trip..Get the bigger buns from here too and they have a mustard that is delicious with the brats too. read more

This place is over 100 years old and it shows on the inside, but the smoked pork sticks rock with a cold beer, and there brats are fresh and delicious, this is a sausage lovers heaven, I'll be back for more brats for football Sunday read more

If your gonna BBQ you better stop here first.Brats are totally insane.Kicker brats are smoking hott if thats your thing.Staff is also really helpful and friendly.This place would do 10 times the business if it was located in downtown naperville.Def. must in Aurora read more

This is what all sausage should taste like! If you want to experience the kind of sausage that your parents, grandparents and great grandparents ate then stop here! It's like stepping back in time! read more

Amazing sausages and a totally unique shop in the west burbs. I've tried the spicy and regular brats, lamb sausage, various smoked sausages and a couple variations of Italian and they've all been fantastic. My only complaint with the Wurst Kitchen is that it likely will help shorten my life by a few years. If only cured fatty pork stuffed into intestines could to be healthy. read more

BY FAR THE BEST BRATS EVER! I have been going here for years. Truly an Aurora institution. Extremely nice staff. Does have some limited hours so check ahead before going. read more

I used to come here with my mother when I was young, and I will continue to come here as an adult as long as they are still running. Wurst Kitchen has the best sausages and salami sticks, as well as a large variety of imported German foods. Definitely brings back the memories when I step into the shop. read more

This place is amazing! I have been going to Wurst Kitchen for over 10 years now. Anytime I am having a barbecue, wurst brats are a must. The Cherry bombs, TPO, Kicker and Tequila Lime are all SO good. Even if you are not a big fan of brats, you will enjoy them from Wurst. Try them once and guarantee you will be a customer of theirs for life. read more

The Wurst Kitchen takes you back in time. Tucked in a residential neighborhood near downtown Aurora, the sausage shop sits on a corner in an old house. Inside, you will find upwards of 30 varieties of sausage made in house. They're all terrific, but the sun-dried tomato, green pepper and onion and cheese and jalapeno bratwurst are favorites. Worth the drive no matter where you live. read more

Hands down the best sausages you will ever eat. Super nice people working there as well. I've had most of them and have yet to be disappointed. My wife loves the Jack Daniel brats, and she's not a big brat person. Once you go you will be hooked. Little pricey but well worth it. read more

This place is a real hidden treasure. I love impressing my friends with their fresh brats and the like on the grill. I have a serious fondness for their beef jerky too. I think Bobak's might edge them out on the polish sausage, but as far as I'm concerned this place gives me the best brats anywhere, and they've always got about a dozen flavors fresh and lots more in the freezer to pick from. read more

Amazing. If your within a 30 mile radius worth going just for the beef sticks they make.

Amazing brats, the very BEST you can get. I usually get the original and kicker brats. Although I have tried them all and you can not go wrong with any of them. GHeart Yorkville read more

This place has the best Brats and a very neat old style meat market. If you like brats try putting beer in a pan with onions and green peppers chopped. cook brats for about 7 mins on the grill then throw them into the beer and onion/peppers cook until done then brown, top with onins and green peppers. It is awesome. read more

Drove from Milwaukee to try it. The Mettwurst was wonderful, but the TeeWurst was awful, it was in a paper casing, and the sausage tasted like the paper, either it was old or ?????Would not go back. read more
