Krizman’s House of Sausage

I had a groupon for this place and wanted to check out this place and get some sausage, they have a lot of in house made sausages to choice from and i believe a decent price especially being made fresh in house.

Love this place, I am from Oklahoma City and come here for the polish sausage it’s the best can’t go wrong with this place

I just wanted to sing the praises of this important piece of history in Wyandotte County. The andouille sausage is my fav, for I am a big cajun and creole cook. The family is wonderful and always helpful. I enjoy talking to dad, and listening to his stories of how his dad started him very young in the business, a fantastic generational story. I have had basically all of their sausage brands, excellent. Sauerkraut, freshly made… my daughter and i would go grab some, and would darn near be out by the time we would get home… stealing from bag. If you are a fan of sausage done right and historical longevity, this is your place.

This place, although very close to work has been on my To-​Do list for quite some time. I think sometimes I put off visiting places I really want to try because I’m afraid of being disappointed. I WASN’T DISAPPOINTED.
We didn’t want to go too overboard on our first visit, so we just grabbed a couple of pounds of Polish that’d just come out of the smoker. It was hard not to just order 2 pounds of everything, but I resisted.
You really drive home fast when something in your car smells that delicious!
We enjoyed every morsel of that sausage and are already trying to decide what we’ll try next.
I do like «chunky» ground sausage, there were a couple of pretty huge chunks of fat that I found myself sort of wishing went through the grinder one more time, but still I say that’s part of being so HOMEMADE and wouldn’t let that stop me from wanting more.

Wow! We went to Krizman’s for the first time this weekend. I am so sad that we waited this long! We bought the knackwurst, smoked polish and apple plus the povitica (walnut) bread and homemade sauerkraut. The sausages are the very best in Kansas City and possibly even the. Best I’ve ever had. The povitica was even better than Dean and Deluca’s. The sauerkraut was good, but lost some of it’s flavor when cooked. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We will be back and soon! Don’t miss this gem!

theyve got the goods, go check it out !

I had never heard of this place and probably would have never found it if it wasn’t for Groupon… their sausage is the BEST! I have tried their fresh Italian sausage and the Applewood with the spice in it… my neighbor tried some and he is Italian and said the sausage was the real deal…

This place is the best. In my neighborhood, historic Strawberry Hill. An independently owned butcher that makes the best kielbasa, andouille, chorizo, if it’s sausage, they probably have it. They also make povatica and sour heads. I’ve always found the sausage her to be superior to any other in town.

Today was my first time at this place! Drove by it once as its set back from the road. I’m glad I found the reviews of it. I went it and everyone was really friendly and polite. I ordered what I was looking for and the owner also recommended a spicy polish sausage that I’m excited to try! Will definitely be back. For those of you who aren’t familiar with the strawberry hill area and just see it’s near 7^th and Minnesota you are missing out. Great little area with hidden gems like this. Great prices and great product! Will be back quite a bit!

My good friend had just moved into her new home so I thought to myself, can there be a better housewarming gift than sausage? Who doesn’t love sausages?
I had heard tales of this magical place but had never been there and was somewhat in the neighborhood so I thought I’d stop by. I’m so happy that I did.
I was a total newbie so I watched a few people order and then talked to the staff. I honestly didn’t realize how many different types of sausages there are. They have a nice selection and are more than willing to walk you through the selection process. I ended up with the BBQ sausage for my friend and myself plus I bought some breakfast sausage for my home. Sorry nameless friend, none for you. They were both delicious. I really enjoyed the BBQ sausage to the fullest. I plan to get back down there to get more before the holiday. I am most definitely a fan and will be back.

Living just down the street from this awesome sausage kingdom, we are always tempted and we probably get their various kinds monthly. They take care of our sausage cravings and then some. We love their smoked apple and their spicy jalapeño. Many others to name. Prices are good too for what you pay for.

We buy our BBQ competition sausage here and it’s the best we’ve found in KC. The BBQ and BBQ hot are great on the grill. If you are wanting to throw some on the smoker, ask for the un-​cured Polish. YUM!!! One thing to keep in mind, plan ahead as some of the sausage is sold frozen. Also, if you want a lot of the un-​cured Polish, call ahead by a day or two.

I just had a meal of Krizman’s polish sausage along with its house-​made sauerkraut. Delicious! The sausage was well seasoned and had a nice casing on it. The store sells to quite a few restaurants. So, if you see it as an option (it may just say sausage made in Strawberry Hill … because that may sound a lot more romantic or something), give it a try but it is completely worth the trip to Strawberry Hill to pick up Krizman’s sausage.
As mentioned, in addition to sausage, the store sells sauerkraut made in the store. It’s got a bit of a bite to it. I enjoyed it. But I could see it being somewhat overwhelming. Cooking it with potatoes may cut down on the intensity.
We also picked up a loaf of povitica bread, which is friggin’ delicious.
Thumbs up! So good!

I was in the wholesale meat business for over 10 years and whenever I was asked about Polish sausage (I carried one brand) but I always recomended Grisnik’s (now Krisman’s) on Strawberry Hill.
No other polish sausage compares to the *quality — *taste — *aroma and consistity. .. .. and you will be amazed at the low price.
They also make many other types of sausage, my favorite other is BBQ.
Quick story, my Mother-​in-​law (born and raised on Strawberr Hill) always served it boiled, a few years ago she attended a family get together at my daughter’s where the Polish Sausage was cooked in the oven (to give it a crispy casing) and she was sold. .. .. after eating it boiled for over 70 years !
Well worth the trip if you live in the Metro area, or as you have read, they will be happy to send it to you.
Easy to understand why their so friendly. .. .. when you’re the best in your field, you have confidence !
p. s. When you are coming up 6^th street from the South (central ave.) look for their sign on the buliding next to them, when coming from the North
(Minnesota ave.) their parking lot is to your right (in front of their bldg.)

When I say that Krizman’s has amazing sausages you better believe that I do not say that lightly or without a lot of experience.
For a recent crawfish boil I wanted to cook off some sausages for people to snack on while the rest of the food was cooking away. I ordered roughly 10 pounds of smoked polish, 15 pounds of mild Italian, and 15 pounds of bratwurst. All told left with a lot of sausage and a smile on my face. The Italian and Bratwurst are made fresh and vacuum sealed and then flash frozen for freshness. The smoked polish is kept refrigerated but not frozen, they recommend that you simmer in water before serving.
The day of the party I got everything rolling and started to cook off the Italian and Bratwurst first. I was amazed at how little was lost during the cooking process and also how evenly they cooked. I sliced them diagonally and in half and put them on the buffet. Like moths to a flame the sausages went extremely quickly and everyone was asking where I got them.
I waited to cook the smoked polish off because I didn’t want everything to go so quickly.
Once i started cooking I had a line in front of the grilled and a lot of hungry eyes looking at me. Once done I barely had them on the table and they were gone. People were picking them up with two fingers and treating them like finger food.
Overall an amazing experience, the staff is very friendly and accommodating. Forget everything else in KC when it comes to sausage and come to Krizman’s

I love these neighborhood market places, the owners are very personable and will help you with all your needs. The sausage is excellent, i plan to go back to try every possible type of sausage, i really wanted to try the Blood Sausage but they were sold out. If I ever have a cookout and need brats, this will be my stop.

This is one of my favorite places to get sausages. I love the smell when I walk in the door. They make excellent brats, knackwurst, polish sausage and some of the best sour kraut I have had. If you like Croatian povitica this is the best place to get it. It is less expensive that the other local brand and in my opinion is much better. Do yourself a favor and take a road trip to KCK you won’t be sorry.

Well worth seeking out, some of the best i have had in this area. Planning on a big pot of gumbo for christmas.

I’m surprised there aren’t more reviews on this place. Anyways, Krizman’s is a well-​known place that sells sausage. I don’t think they sell bacon though. But if you want sausage, this is a good place to check out. A lot of restaurants buy their sausage here.
Among the sausages I’ve tried, I have no complaints on any of them. They do get quite spicy though. Bratwurst is great. Italian sausage is decent, although its better with a tomato sauce around it rather than eaten by itself.

Well well, aren’t we all a slut for what Bourdain calls «Meat in tube form»? I know I am definitely a sausage slut (Don’t get any ideas you know what the heck I mean)
let’s just say this is the Playboy mansion of sausage here in Kansas City. And let me tell you it finally, FINALLY the one place that actually makes REAL andouille sausage. Is it better than the stuff in Louisiana? Never. But it is indeed the right interpretation. Coarse pork slammed in garlic, onions, pepper and paprika. NOT spicy as everyone and their pet bull mastiff will try to convince you. Take this stuff and smoke it. Chop it all up and throw it in your pot of red beans or anything you add sausage to.
It is indeed, sausage at it’s best.
Let me say that their knackwurst has a slightly gamey side to it (It is probably the most authentic knackwurst in the metro) but it’s a bit too strong for my taste. I much prefer Werner’s store made knackwurst.
There is also what they call a BBQ sausage that a friend swore that I needed to buy. I did grill it up, but since it was a much thicker hunk of meat than I expected, I was not able to cook it to my standard, thus I really can’t give a 100% opinion on how it taste. My friend did mention though that is highly recommended for smoking as opposed to grilling it.
Anyway, in conclusion, all I got to say is don’t be afraid of the hood the place is in. Just get in, get your sausage, and get the heck out.
