Pete’s Louisiana Style Hot Links

These are great grilling sausages very good taste best in town.
If you don’t think so you must be a disgruntled
sausage eater

If you like hot links, you must try this place. Little spot where you walk up to a window order. The kitchen, which you will see from the window is spotless.
Handmade links with a wonderful flavor all its own. We got the beef and chicken links in mild and hot. So far we’ve had a couple of the mild links and they’re really good and rich.
Tip: They’re located next to the Ice House. If you’re buying links for a BBQ, might as well pick up some ice!

Sadly, I didnt enjoy these sausages at all. Less tastier than even the italian sausage they sell at Ralphs. The sausage meat is strangely soft and not chewy. It has a strange texture to say the least.
Also the hot beef links tasted very artificial to me and grainy. I tried various cooking methods including steaming, grilling, and baking.

1^st time I used Pete’s sausage in my gumbo and it was excellent. I will be visiting Pete’s sausage more often. I highly Reccomended them and the price is good too. It was well worth the trip from the valley to LA. The hot ones are more like medium if you like your sausage hot.

Great, cheap local sausage. Fantastic for gumbo. What else could you ask for?

I dont know what was going on today but I was very underwhelmed by this place. After searching for places that sell Andouille I came across this place and it seemed legit. I read you alls reviews and went to their website. I was expecting a variety of sausages even if they didnt have Andouille (as the website says seasonal though i must say winter time is usually the time for Andouille but I digress) so imagine my shock when it was only 2 sausages sold. Literally there was a choice between beef or chicken links. das it … I was disappointed and confused. What kind of place only sells two of anything? More so than anything confused. The website list many different sausages, even some of the reviews from just this year mention other sausages. Was supply low? Do they change what they offer everyday? I was so lost. Needless to say I left with no Andouille and bought a few chicken links bc I was there already and had stood in line for quite a while while an old lady kept changing her mind about how many sausages she wanted. I cant recommend this place unless its the summer time and you just want some fresh links for your bbq other than that I dont see the point

I love that you can get locally made sausage in the heart of Los Angeles. I’ve been stuck on Money Savers for years so I wanted to try something new. I pass here all the time and its pretty inconspicuous. But that clean ass kitchen tho. Can’t wait to put these babies in my crawfish boil.

I found out about this place when we had a company picnic back in the 90’s. I asked where did the company get the delicious sausages and our office manager told me Pete’s. I grew up in the neighborhood so i paid them a visit. The guy might have thought I was new to the neighborhood and he invited me inside for a tour (it was one large room at the time). He showed me their operations and I have to say I was impressed because it was so clean and the workers wore hair nets and were hard at work. Even though I moved way from time to time we pick up sausages there because they are so good.

SO DELICIOUS. They usually give me something for free. Super cheap too. Wish I were in the hood more often.

With one notable difference, this is the traditional, New Orleans-​style «chaurice» AKA «hot sausage» that is indispensable for making Creole-​style gumbo, jambalaya, and red beans and rice. In New Orleans this sausage is made with pork, while Pete’s is a beef link (which I prefer anyway).
My family has been patronizing Pete’s for almost SEVENTY YEARS, since relocating to Los Angeles after WWII in the mid-1940’s. The stretch of Jefferson where Pete’s is located was an area that was once populated by many Louisiana Creoles of Color, who came to Los Angeles for defense jobs during the second Great Migration from the South. In those days, the Red Line street car had tracks down Jefferson; and that neighborhood was the «Westside». There were lots of little Creole markets in Los Angeles. Much like the Latino markets that are everywhere in the city today, there were once Creole markets that sold house-​made sausages and special cuts of meat for preparing traditional Louisiana fare: veal «7-​steaks» and grillades for «pané meat» and «grillades and grits».
Pete’s Louisiana Hot Links is the only place in Los Angeles where you can purchase authentic, Creole Chaurice Sausage for Creole Gumbo. These sausages are also great for grilling. Traditionally, the red color is from the paprika. These sausages are slightly spicy. True Louisiana food is NOT burn-​your-​face-​spicy, but just highly seasoned.

I was a tad underwhelmed by the sausages here. I built it up too long on my head and in the end they just tasted average.
I had the hot beef and the pork links. By the time I arrived at the store there wasn’t much left in the way of selection. I really wanted to try some of their other links like Bayou blend, and Jalapeño, and habanero. Some sadly you have to buy in bulk as special order and the others it appeared they were just out.
Staff member was a bit cold but cordial. Took a while to be attended to. He was in the back so who can blame him.
I had emailed the store the night before and they were super responsive. I’d love to try them again.

Petes has been around forever, love that the family kept in the same area. The chicken links are my favorite, you want quality meat, this is your place

$ 1/​link
Ordered the spicy and regular heat sausages. I preferred the spicy, but still feel like there has to be something better out there

My family’s been coming here for over 20 years. We usually get a 5lbs bag of extra hot beef links and a 5lbs of normal hot beef links. The extra hot you usually have to order a day ahead. Just call in and leave a message on machine. They never answer but will call you back.
These are the only sausage we use for our gumbo that we make twice a year. They also taste bomb wrapped up in a slice of bread. #fire.

I was introduced to Pete’s Louisiana Links at a friend’s dinner. They tasted very good and I decided to get some for our family. After checking with their website to see what they have to offer, I emailed Pete’s Food Products Inc. with my order. The order consisted of:
Beef Louisiana Links Hot, 5 lbs.
Beef Louisiana Links Mild, 5 lbs.
Beef Louisiana Links Extra Hot, 5 lbs.
On April 16, 2015, I drove down to their plant to pick up my order. I noticed on their board they also offered Chicken Louisiana Links Mild. The manager informed me that the chicken links would take another hour to finish. I decided to wait in their lounge. I purchased Chicken Louisiana Links Mild, 5 lbs. All sausages were freshly made.
In the evening, we tried a little bit of everything I bought. We grilled them on the BBQ. They tasted awesome and delicious. I am glad I made this purchase. For whatever was left, I packaged everything to go to the freezer.
The staff was very cordial and helpful, especially Megan, the Office Manager.
A few pointers:
1. They sell out of everything very early. In order to ensure availability, email them with your order a day or two in advance.
2. The area is safe in the daytime. However, I would not venture there at night. Results are unpredictable. You can park in the back and someone will help you.
3. To ensure freshness, I strongly advise that you bring a cooler with ice. On a hot day, meat products, can easily spoil.
4. They accept credit/​debit card payment. I paid with cash and cash is always King.
Hands down, a five stars is awarded to Pete’s Food Products Inc.

Pete’s links are legendary! I grew up eating them. Nothing compares to their deliciousness.
The guys who work there haven’t changed a bit. Still friendly and patient, but keep it moving.
Easy to take for granted when they’re right down the street, but when you’re not so close???
My uncle relocated to North Carolina and asked me to send him Pete’s links. That’s some love when you’re willing to wave good bye to some hot links!

I’ve been Eating Pete’s Links my Whole Life! From backyard BBQ from Homies in tha Hood. To Stevie’s on tha Strip. Gumbo. To Harold & Belle’s. Good hot links only problem is the Grease. Tasty but I have to skim out the grease in my Gumbo. And watch out for Flare ups on the BBQ Grill. But the Flavor is 4.5 Stars

Now this is a sausage company that specializes in homemade Cajun style sausages. They’re only open a few hours of the day so I suggest if you’re interested in picking up some freshly made sausages, that you set your alarm clocks early. They make the sausages fresh everyday. Once they run out they run out!
I drove over three and a half hours to make sure I brought some of these sausages home. Today I purchased four of the beef sausage links and four chicken links. I must say the spices that they use in the meat is very strong. I always try and double bag the meat in a ziplock bag when bringing it home or else your whole car will smell like garlic onion and spices. Overall this place can do no wrong. This would be my third time getting sausage is here in LA and it is my regular stop before I leave.

Alrighty then! These Louisiana sausages are THE BOMB!
Sausages are about $ 4 a pound, you get around 3 or 4 HUGE links, but it’s so worth it.
I was kinda thrown off by the establishment, you walk into a screen door and a counter hits you right at the abdomen. Tell a guy in the back what you want and he goes into the freezer and grabs it… it’s that simple!
I put these babies (chicken ones) under my broiler, then add some bar-​b-​que sauce and mustard… unbelievable!
Can’t wait to have these on the grill, though!

These are the best NOLA hot links you will ever have!
I fell in love with these years ago and would always ask for a five pound bag when someone was coming into town from the hood. I also had them when they changed owners and tasted like a watered down version, but they are back to original now.
Less than $ 4 a pound for all that flavor is a bargain in my book. I’ve had Patton’s and Pete’s makes them seem like hilshire farms.
Be prepared to burp these up for a couple hours later as well. My friends get jealous when I do because they know what I ate. lol
