With so many restaurants recycling the same few food items- Kobe sliders and truffle mac and cheese, to name a few- Wurstkuche distinguishes itself from the pack with a refreshingly unique menu. They bill themselves as a “purveyor of exotic grilled sausages,” and that’s exactly what they deliver. They serve nearly two-dozen different kinds of sausages ranging from the tame such as the Vegetarian Smoked Apple Sage and traditional style Kielbasa to the more adventurous like the Alligator & Pork or the Rattlesnake & Rabbit. Personally, I was not brave enough to try any of these exotic meats, but everyone who does says that they are really good. The sausages might be what lure you in, but it’s with the rest of their menu that they prove that they really know what they’re doing. “Do you want fries with that?” Yes! You absolutely do! In my opinion, their double dipped fries are just as much of a draw as their sausages. It’s not just the fries that are amazing, however, it’s the dipping sauces from which there are over ten to choose from including a white truffle oil glaze, bleu cheese walnut and bacon, and Thai peanut. Of course, I have to mention the desserts as well. They serve Coolhaus ice cream sandwiches here! Yay! Great for if you’re too lazy to track down the truck. There’s also convenient street parking which is always a plus.
Here’s the catch: When you enter, you have to go all the way around to the back kitchen to order, and this line can be extremely long. Once you’ve done this, you can proceed to the dining area that resembles a cafeteria with its community tables and long benches. It’s actually a fun atmosphere as long as you don’t mind sharing your space. Also, because it’s so crowded the food can take a while, but this brings me to the final reason why this spot is so awesome- their beer selection. While you wait, there is an incredible selection of Belgium and German beers to pick from. If you can’t make up your mind, the bartenders really know their stuff here and can help you out. Or if you know exactly what you want and want a lot of it, you can get a boot of beer! This is a great spot for an adventurous group with nowhere to be.
Pros: Unique and delicious menu. Great beer selection.
Cons: Crowded
