A friend of mine used to come here when he was in the area for school back in the late 00s and he said this place is still pretty much the same as it had been back then. Great food, and great fries. We wanted to go here for a while and we somehow ended up coming when the World Cup game was going on with the inside PACKED, so in the patio area outside we went! Everyone was pretty kind but security was rough since the inside was packed. Was hard to get water or even go to the restroom without being questioned.. but I understand why it had to be that way. We lined up, placed our order at the counter then were sat outside along the sidewalk area. Was a really nice day and we got the Filipino sausage, rattlesnake and rabbit, and buffalo cherry. All were delicious but the real star I think was the Belgian Fries. Delicious and crispy and perfectly filling alongside the sausages. Curry ketchup and the blue cheese walnut sauce elevated the fries even further! Cannot wait to try more from here. read more

10/10 forgot this place existed! I've been to The Venice Beach location but boy was this a perfect spot after a show at the Moroccan Lounge. Perfect little tucked away joint with the most delicious dogs. So flavorful, a variety of wild options to choose from. Guys up front are always first for recommendations for food or beers on tap, highly recommended to go with their choices! Super nice and friendly staff! You order first then go sit down. The mustard choices are also super rad offering a different variety! Perfect munchies spot after a late night show! Ordered the Louisiana Hot and Fries with Chipotle catch up. For sureeeeeeee amazing read more

I have been going to Wurstküche heavily when it first opened and then sporadically throughout the years. Although I have changed as a person, Wurstküche is still a solid place where you can have a casual, good quality food with great drinks (beer and international sodas.) The sausages are of high quality meats, cooked to perfection with tons of flavor and a good snap at the bite. Everything that I have tried was delicious- bratwurst, hot Italian, Kielbasa, duck and bacon, even the rattlesnake/rabbit. The one that I have always ordered was the Filipino sausage, the Maharlika. The fries are crispy and addictive. There are several dipping sauces available and I like the curry ketchup and the blue cheese and bacon. Service is efficient and fast. You order at the front counter and someone will bring it out to your table. In this location, the patio area is located by the sidewalk/street and it is covered and enclosed, but still open to the public. What I love about this place is that this is a perfect vibe to hang out with friends. It is chill, trendy and not pretentious. It is busy but not as crowded as it was years ago. It's a good mix of people but you don't have a hard time looking for a place to sit or feel rushed to leave after eating your dish. read more

Food was ok 3.5 out of 5. Truffle fries were the center of attraction. We were happy that they served delirium which is rare in the states. Service is friendly and wait times were minimum. Ambiance was on brand with arts district - exposed ceilings, dark, and open concept. read more

Fantastic fries and beer. I went back just for more fries and fruli. The sausages are fine but nothing spectacular; the mustard selection definitely helps. They've got a nice outdoor patio area plus a space inside. It gets pretty busy at night. read more

It's been a minute since I've been here, but somehow when we have a long night in the Arts District, we always end up at Wurstkuche. The long wooden tables are packed with people and there's almost kind of an Oktoberfest vibe. Rattlesnake & Rabbit with Jalapeño: I decided to go with one of the exotic options. The sausage is rather mild and buttery in flavor with a firm chicken-like texture. There's a great snap, but the jalapeño peppers don't really register any heat. The freshly baked roll is good and crispy, soft and chewy. Maybe the best thing is the giant plate of toppings. I added it all, caramelized onions, peppers, raw onions, and sauerkraut. The mustard selection is also solid with whole grain, yellow, and brown. Definitely get the fries. They are crispy and soft in all the right ways. read more

Hard to find street parking. Paid $5 per hour for a nearby lot. Came on a Sunday night. There was a line, waited about 15minutes in line. Got the classic Bratwurst and Bockwurst for $11 each. Unfortunately they ran out of the Rattlesnake and Rabbit with Jalapeño Peppers very early. Two of the four toppings were included. We chose caramelized onion and sauerkraut. Got the Cucumber Soda for $4.50. The sausages were good. Liked the many condiments available. The Dijon Mustard was hard to get a hold of. The cucumber soda was interesting and enjoyable. Enjoyed that there were crayons to draw on the paper covering the table. There was the outside patio and indoor dining hall. There was a water station available in the dining area. It was very crowded on a Sunday night. Overall, enjoyed the experience. read more

You can't go wrong here. I've been coming here for years and have tried quite a few of the sausage options and none of them are bad! If you can't choose just get a classic, or if you're feeling adventurous try the rabbit or rattlesnake. Top yours with onions and peppers + some of the delicious mustard options they have in bottles on the tables. The fries are double fried, hot, and crispy and can be paired with different sauces. Grab a beer or cider off their extensive list and you're good to go. It can get very crowded and busy here but the service is always fast and the crowd is always good vibes. They're open late and next door is Bar Eighty-Two. read more

My husband took me here for the very first time fairly two years ago, and we've been coming here every blue moon when we are in the area. I love the creation of this hidden gem, and the location is pretty dope. The gentlemen employees were very helpful and patient as we navigated around the menu. I enjoyed my hotdog very much, and I'm sure my partner enjoyed mine more it's a lovely hipster environment, and it's surrounded in the heart of DTLA, so it's worth the visit! Will definitely be back if I'm ever quench or would love a bite, Thank you read more

Appalled at the attitude of one the employees here. He has a large beard and was wearing newsboy cap working Saturday night 4/4. It was past midnight and we had just ordered our hot dogs and beer. Our friend was really tired after a 12 hour shift at the hospital with only an hour of sleep. So he puts his head down on the table and not five minutes later, this worker starts shouting at us saying "HE CAN'T BE SLEEPING HERE. THIS IS A RESTAURANT. THIS IS A BUSINESS. HE HAS TO WAKE UP OR WE HAVE TO KICK YOU GUYS OUT. GET UP." It was so disrespectful. All he had to do was tell us to wake him up and did not have to shout or scream at us in this manner. I observed him later walking back to the bar and was basically on his phone for the rest of the night. If he is part of the "security team", he needs to do better because that was unacceptable. Otherwise food and beer here was great. read more

I really like this place overall. Not that their food is amazing, although I do like their sausauges, but the overall vibe is nice and it's a fun and casual place to hangout if you're in the area. We met some friends here who were visting from out of town to catch up so it was nice to have a spot to grab some drinks and sit outside in a relaxed atmosphere. This place has been around for a while, so I won't go too in detail of their food, but we never had a bad experience eating here. read more

This place is trash and the people who work there really ruin it for the customers. Food is mid at best...

First, are sausages and brats considered glizzies? Because that almost cheapens their immediately striking presence as something more. "Premium glizzie"...? "Glitzy"...? Anyway, we set our sights on this sausage house and pub after adventuring through a literary festival for the day. Shout out to the FOB! Though we established our collective first visit on nibbles, I think we had the right bites to hold us for a round of talking and taking in our day. On our table: the buffalo and luxardo sausage, topped with a double helping of sauerkraut; and the almighty Kielbasa, topped with caramelized onions and sweet peppers. With a whole lotta of Belgian fries on the side. Both sausages had a great snap to their casings. The buffalo had that trademark lean texture, with a minty finish, that the kraut did a great job of cutting through. The double helping was a bit much but I was also okay with not outfitting the exotic buffalo with any varietal of mustard or ketchup. The Polish Kielbasa was my test selection for the meal. On initial visits, I like to go with a classic to establish a baseline of quality with a restaurant I intend to visit more than once. They gotta do that right if they want me to be adventurous about more house special items. Flying colors. It [tasted] like it was made in house. The pork and beef and spices were a fun unit of elements. And I've eaten Kielbasa a million times. The juices were there and they were great about dancing on the interior of the roll - which was kind of the unsung hero of both the sausage entrees. I don't think any bun from a restaurant glizzie has ever really been memorable. But ironically, it kind of makes the dish as a mostly-seamless bread, meat and condiments ensemble. The fries were great European chip companions, fried optimally past golden brown with varying insides of potato mush. Dipping them in our chipotle aioli and curry ketchup was far from difficult. The toasted apple pie ice cream sandwich was an intriguing prospect, between oatmeal raisin cookies. Plenty are made and stored ahead of time, for efficiency. But it'd be interesting to have at more of a live version with some cool sauce drizzles. It was fine for dessert. There's more to sip and chew through here, to make you feel like you're almost glamping it at some outdoors oasis. So I will find an excuse to get frustrated by DTLA parking again, eventually, for some brat and/or sausage nourishment. read more

What can I say I love good food and this place if you want a the wurst of the best kinds of exotic sausages come here I had snake and rabbit and it was delicious!! They had a great beer selection too Service was good and friendly and it's a good vibe overall It is communal seating so you may end up seating with other folks but it's a fun place and quality food is great but it's one of those you gotta keep going back to order it's not a sit down and get service read more

Good selection of German beers and sausages in the Arts District. Went as part of a birthday pub crawl - had a few different beers, albeit 2 of them on the menu were tapped out. Had some various sausages as well, which were all pretty good but were also a bit pricey. All in all, a good spot with lots of seating - just a bit expensive for what it is. read more

Food (4/5): These weiners are packed with flavor! I love how the there are such unique flavors here. Me being Filipina, of course I have to get the Filipino Harlikaw. There is a slight vinegar, sweet, and pork taste. I love ordering carmelized onions for added sweetness and spicy peppers for a kick. Share their Groot fries with a friend and dip them into a chipotle aioli and sundried tomato mayo. I feel like these sausages are small and you really get your fill when you pair your meal with a large fries and a beer. Service (4/5): Once you wait in line in the front, and grab your number, they will come to you. You typically don't have to wait very long for your food, but I'm just not a fan of waiting in a long line to get my order. Price (4/5): A little expensive but you're paying for the quality and uniqueness of this place. Ambiance (4/5): Dim lights and plenty of seating both outside and inside. Beware that if you're sitting in the patio, they don't have heated seating. read more

Simple ordering style. Easy menu to navigate. Service was pretty straight forward order at the counter and they bring it to you. We went on a Friday afternoon and it was fast. Fries were delicious and im more of a shoestring kind of girl. As far as the bratwurst and the link they were pretty good not sure they really stood out as "must have" though we enjoyed it. read more

12/1/2025 Wurstkuche 800 E 3rd St Los Angeles, CA 90013 I went with my nephew on his recommendation for a late lunch on a Tuesday. This German sausage place is near Little Tokyo in DTLA. There is only pay street parking but we had no problem finding a spot a block away, not typical. The set up is an order counter, pay and take your aluminum number tower to your table. The menu cards are at the counter. The menu consists of gourmet hot dogs, toppings, fries and German/Belgian beers. There are both interior and exterior tables. It was a nice day so we chose the patio with a picnic table setup. We ordered the Hot Italian and Hungarian Heat with fries. Our meal in aluminum trays was brought shortly by our very nice server. The Italian was good but I thought the Hungarian was better flavored. Both had good heat. The wedge fries were piping hot, crispy on the outside and moist on the inside; outstanding. They also have fresh sausage in the display case for take home. A large variety of sausages to explore next time. Very repeatable. read more

I have been here many times and I have never had a bad experience. Its in a nice location of LA, its a big place, great drinks, and amazing food. The service has always been friendly and the staff has always been willing to answer any questions on their menu. This time I ordered the Duck & Bacon with Jalapeño Peppers Brat and I added caramelized onions, and sauerkraut. Fries are ordered separately and I elected Chipotle Aioli for my side sauce. I wish I would have ordered a second! The bun is light, the Brat is flavorful, and the sides provide a good balance to the whole meal. I didn't drink this time but their drink selection is amazing, especially the beer. read more

I've come here a few times and I don't find it to be up to the hype. The hot dogs are good and they have a good variety but nothing to die for and think they're overpriced.

Theres plenty of paid parking lots but also street parking. read more

Yes another review for this place is needed! First off I came here when they first opened, I'm Guessing 15 plus years ago & guess what? Looks the same! I'm going to highlight the incredible professional staff & their little tequila drinky thingy is strong AF I detest heavy fancy craft tap beer etc but they have a strong tasty cocktail (I think it's on tap too) & 2 of these will buzz me up ! I love that the bun is crunchy-ish on the ends Ive had lamb sausage & veal, rabbit & first time was something exotic like snake or whatever The napkins they have are so thick & sturdy I really fell in love! I love the vibez in here ! Super first date appropriate & post Dodgers game w/ the homies as well I'll recommend fo sho & I'll return only if I'm w/ someone who insists Parking sucks so bad so yeah read more

This place is lit, staff amazing and food amazing. BUT we are wearing Mexican jerseys while France and Norway was playing, someone in our group tripped and the owner said we had to go AND asked if Mexico was playing when clearly NOT and then dipped. Owner is racist, which is a bummer cause it killed the vibe of a really great establishment. Stated to be carful cause beers were strong, then next time state a drink limit and we are cool. read more

Delicious sausages with unique meats and a wide variety of sauces. When you walk in, you first order your food and drinks at the register and then get a number. There is ample indoor and outdoor seating. The vibes are great inside, there are long tables with paper you can draw on, and probably about 7-8 sauces to choose from. Personal fave is the rattlesnake and rabbit with sauerkraut and spicy peppers. I get it every time and it's absolutely delicious. Groot fries are a must get as well. They are nice and crispy, perfectly salted, and comes with 2 dipping sauces. The drink menu is extensive, duchesse cherry is a personal fave. Nice lively spot to get a late night meal in LA with friends. Parking is a bit rough but that's a given... it's LA haha read more

i came here as a farewell get together with my friends and it was so great! the parking is definitely really hard, so we parked a couple blocks away on the street. we came on a saturday at 7pm and it was pretty packed! the line seemed long but went by really quick. we had reserved the separate booths that were more isolated from the main area, but it was a great atmosphere inside, definitely loud and fun to spend with friends. i asked the cashier for recommendations and she recommended the duck & bacon sausage, so i tried it and i'm so glad i did instead of sticking to a classic or original flavor. they put the sausage in a bun and you can choose your toppings - it was so juicy and had such great flavor all together. we also shared the large fries with white truffle and i was already so full by then, i loved the truffle. read more

Wurstküche is a German beer hall known for their unique sausages ranging from familiar classics such as bratwurst and hot italian sausage to more adventurous combinations including rattlesnake, rabbit, or pheasant. I always add caramelized onions as a topping and there are also many mustards on the side to choose from (whole grain, dijon, spicy brown, honey mustard, yellow)! So far I've tried the following: Marhalika 5/5 Kielbasa 2/5 Jalapeño mango 3/5 Bratwurst 4.5/5 It's super chill and casual! You order at the register and wait for your number to be called.

Wurstküche in DTLA is one of those places that feels like a little hidden gem, even though it's pretty well-known. My friends and I call this place "exotic glizzies" because the hot dogs here are made with all kinds of exotic meats. They have an indoor and outdoor eating area with vibes of a brewery. We ordered the Belgian fries with the white truffle oil glaze and these are best fries in the city. No question. Thick cut, perfectly crispy, well-seasoned, and that truffle oil glaze just takes it to another level. Seriously, nothing else comes close, and I'm already thinking about the next time I can have them. Portion wise, we ordered the regular and they were already quite a lot. For the sausages, we tried the rattlesnake and rabbit, and the duck and bacon.The duck and bacon were great, especially juicy. The rattlesnake and rabbit... honestly a little on the dry side. The buns were soft and light, and the grilled peppers on top added a really nice touch. However, strong condiments provided like any of the mustard does a great job of covering the taste of the individual meat, so be wary if putting on a ton of condiments if you want to actually evaluate the flavor; a mistake that I made. Parking is rough, especially in this part of downtown, but once you're inside, it's absolutely worth the trip. Staff were friendly and quick with service. read more

I came to this spot on a Thursday evening for a beer. There's an entrance where their sausage / food is ordered. Once you walk into the back there's a bar with the selection of beers to order from. The menu was long & offered variety of beers selection so everyone can find what they like. The staff were open to questions about what we wanted try such as sweet or fruity or something more bitter. There is seating outside or inside. We sat inside for a bit to get some shade. Once the sunset was around we sat outside to get some fresh air.
