Sheboygan Bratwurst Stands

This place is just ok (hence the A-​OK 3 stars). When hot dogs were standard and boring around town, I can understand why people made a fuss over these brats. But the San Francisco hot dog game has really upped the ante with places like Show Dogs, Dapper Dogs and Rosamunde Sausage. Knowing how good a dog can be, these Sheboygan Brats just seem middle of the road.
Sheboygan Brat: Better than a standard issue hot dog. Less personality than dogs at bougie joints such as Showdogs. Pretty filling for ballpark meal. The grilled onions were more like soggy onions cooked just enough to lose their flavor, but not enough to gain flavor through charring or caramelization. The sauerkraut lacked that tangy fermented taste. Had to load the brat up with ketchup, mustard and relish to fill in the flavor gaps. Felt like there was a bit too much bun give the the amount of bratwurst.

Oooh, this is probably the best deal at the ballpark. A foot long Sheboygan with grilled onions and sauerkrat for less than 10 bucks. And if you love yourself enough, grab a side of garlic fries and an ice cold beer. Life is short, and that is ALMOST perfection. Why almost? Because the buns aren’t always in the freshest state. Sad, I know. I’ve mentioned it to them. Let’s hope perfection comes soon.

I’ve had several of the Sheboygan brats throughout the park. The brats are good, especially with sauerkraut and mustard. But the buns are horrible. They fall apart on you just after 1 or 2 bites. It’s like a crumbly biscuit. It shouldn’t be that way. I reminds me of stale bread that doesn’t hold it’s shape. Until they change their bread vendor, I’m not planning to buy anymore of these brats which is really a shame.

But of COURSE Sheboygan has the best Brats. We still have small butcher shops with their own secret recipes. Top it off with Johnston’s Bakery hard rolls, or any of Sheboygan’s rolls, and you’ll be transported to Sheboygan. (Remember Bratwurst days in the 60’s when one could drink beer at 18, along with the brat? Legally?)
You all DO KNOW, don’t you, that most Sheboygan folks don’t put sauerkraut on their beautiful brats, right? That’s more of a Milwaukee thing, or a thing that folks do who live outside the 40-​mile Sheboygan area radius. Nevertheless, if you love that kraut, go for it, and it’s GOOD for you, healthwise.

What’s there to say that hasn’t been said? Quite possibly the best ballpark food item at AT&T Park besides the crab sammy and the garlic fries. Everyone says you have to be sure to get them from the right stand, so let me make it easy: go to the Ghirardelli arch near the Coca Cola bottle. Boom. No more going section to section looking for a real Sheboygan like I did last season.
For less than $ 10 you’re given a 12 inch Sheboygan loaded up with grilled onions and sauerkraut on a steamed bun. They load it up heavily with grilled onions, so you may or may not ask for light onions depending on your presence. Add a bit of mustard and you got yourself a mountain of grilled onions, sauerkraut, and a signature Sheboygan sausage. The sausage didn’t have much of a snap which I always look for, but it was great nonetheless. The bratwurst was grilled to a perfect crisp and was juicy throughout. Undeniably one of the best hot dogs at AT&T Park.

When you want a Sheboygan bratwurst you come to this stand specifically! They serve it at other places but this one is different with all the fixings on top! Don’t short change yourself!

Best thing you can get at AT&T park is the bratwurst with all the fixings. Skip the Giant’s hotdog which is not giant at all.

When I think of that ballpark smell… this is it. Grilled brats and footlong hot dogs. The pungent smell of grilled onions happily browning and waiting to sit on your brat.
Food. GOOOOD. This sausage has a nice snap when you bite into it. The onions are perfectly grilled and add that much needed tang and sweet. A little bit of deli mustard, and you’ve got a great ballpark meal.
3 stars because this particular stand tends to not be very organized. Ever. No matter who they have working the grill and the 3 registers that sell from the one person grilling. They need to get on a system so that the already-​confused patrons get their wieners in an appropriate time.

Literally the best thing ever when the Sheboygan Cart has NO LINE because everyone and their mother is in line for garlic fries. Don’t get me wrong, those fries… when fresh… are some of the best things ever, but a bratwurst is the way to go when at the park!
It’s nice and steaming hot, crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside and topped with kraut and a mix of sweated onions and peppers (yum!) on a soft seeded bun. It’s anything but your typical dog. So worth the $ 8!

I finally found the Sheboygan Bratwurst Stand at AT&T Park that my sister had told me about… SHaZaam!
Line: there was none… surprised!
People looking: there were plenty… not surprised!
Aroma: fantastico!
Wow, I stood there looking at the fantastic display on the grill as the young lady grilled all those delicious looking bratwurst, dogs, with onions and kraut.
I really wanted one of those dogs or bratwurst but I didn’t want grilled onions and I wasn’t sure I could handle 10 inches of hot diggity dog.
Bratwurst, dog, bratwurst, dog… couldn’t make up my mind. Maybe next time.

I didn’t even know I could Unilocal this stand, but here it is. Best.Brat.Ever. Never thought how much I would love this unhealthy footlong, but they had me at kraut. My friend even got me into Club level and tried to convince me to buy a super unhealthy baked potato drenched in sour cream, bacon, and the works, saying it was way better than a brat, but I made a mistake. I’m sorry, I felt like I cheated on an old friend with some lowlife baked potato. I won’t do it again.
I was unable to go to Fan Fest this year, but I hear they are moving the popular stand on the promenade level so they get their own spot without blocking the area close to the little kid baseball area. I will have to search for it again if it moves. Until April, my friend.

NEVER get brats anywhere in the park except for at one of these stands!
Most of the food stops like Doggie Diner have brats but they’ve been sitting out for hours, aren’t as big and definitely aren’t as good of quality… but these brats are grilling right before your eyes alongside grilled onions and kraut. I don’t remember the last time I didn’t get one of these brats at the game… they’re the perfect follow up to garlic fries and are absolutely delicious 99% of the time.
Just be sure to get yours as soon as possible… I waited until the 6^th or 7^th inning on opening day this season and they were all sold out):

No visit is complete to the ballpark with out munching on a hot dog/​sausage/​frankfurter. If you’re going to go that route, a stop at one of these stands is a MUST for one of their hot dogs or better yet, the Sheboygan bratwurst.
The meat, onions and sauerkraut are heated on the grill right in front of your eyes. Aside from being enormous, they are super delicious — juicy, well seasoned, flavorful and beautifully grilled. It had the perfect amount of fat to keep it moist but didn’t taste fatty or greasy.
The bun, which is a seeded sandwich roll, is another matter. It was split open so wide that they two pieces of bread separated and my onions and brat kept falling out of the bun. In addition, I thought the bun was too big and it seemed to be a bit stale. Soft it was not. I ended up leaving most of it in the container. This made for one messy experience, especially with mustard as part of the mix.
5 stars for the brat and veggies and experience with the folks at the cart on the left field view level; 3 stars for the bun.
Check it out!

Yum! A baseball game isn’t complete without a hot dogs, but not all dogs are created equally. I was told by my coworker to try Sheboygan Brat and went hunting for a stand. The girl that helped me was very nice and even asked to check my ticket in case it had a $ 5 off coupon on it (it did!). I had them load it with everything but peppers and well, i had to pull some off cause they do load it with lots of onions and kraut.
I’m excited to go to another game just so I can buy another brat! (that and to support my giants, heart!)

When I go to a Giants game, it’s almost instinctive for me to look for a bratwurst stand (I say «almost» because I need to make sure I have enough money in my wallet first. That’s my FIRST instinct).
When I was younger (during the 2002 Giants era, their first trip to the World Series), I did NOT like kraut at ALL. I was only a grilled onion fan. That’s it.
NOW, after my palette has developed, I have learned to appreciate the deliciousness of sauerkraut and grilled onions working in harmony to provide the ultimate taste for the bratwurst. And, my friends, it is divine. The bratwurst itself is just as divine.
If you ever walk by this stand, please do yourself a favor and buy one. With kraut and onions; just kraut; just onions; just the bratwurst; it doesn’t matter. You’ll like it regardless. Oh, and throw on some of that deli mustard. Perfect way to start any game.

It’s high drama when you arrive late to the ballpark and may not have time to grab yourself a Sheboygen.
4:57 first pitch and it’s now 4:40. It’s about clock management and about making hard decisions. I am not one to miss the first pitch, but I have been waiting for this moment since Saturday night. Lucky for me, friends were already waiting with beers in hand in our seats. Shhhh, don’t tell anyone but I was probably in more of a red wine mood. But this is a ballpark and guys don’t drink wine at baseball games. ummmm, ok.
Yes, you can order a dog from your seat, but it isn’t the same. It won’t be a Sheboygen, nor will it come perfectly lined with grilled onions. Never mind trying to deal with those tiny packs of mustard and ketchup.
I eat a dog maybe once or twice a year, and when I do I save myself for the Sheboygen dog here at AT & T

Hot diggity dog! There’s a reason why the Sheboygan stand gets their own review page. Besides garlic fries, Sheboygan are a must eat while enjoying a Giants game. Piled up with grilled onions and sauerkraut, it’s the ultimate ballpark dog.
This wiener is always a winner at AT&T Park!

Sure, you could treat yourself to a crab sandwich at the Crazy Crab’z stand, or a Cha Cha Bowl at Orlando’s. Go ahead and tear into some pot stickers from Edsel Ford Fong’s, or some (subpar) Mexican food at the Tres Agaves cart. Better yet, pack your own lunch.
But if you’re intent on spending your hard-​earned cash at AT&T on some REAL ballpark food, you can’t pass up a Sheboygan brat loaded with sauerkraut and onions. The best place to get ‘em are at the Doggie Diner cart (not the big concession stand) near section 109 — the line may be long, and the selections are limited, but a juicy, hot-​off-​the-​grill bratwurst is well worth the wait.

I’ve been to the Sheboygan Bratwurst stand many a time in my adventures at AT&T — but after plowing through one today, it reminded me to review it.
The set up is very simple. A small stand located in a few spots in the ballpark, with a grill and some sodas. They have three types of dogs. The sheboygan brat, the homerun dog and the small dog. They also have two toppings — grilled onions and sauerkraut. One of the best features of the stand, is you an smell it grilling as you walk closer and it is impossible to escape. Today I had a homerun dog with extra grilled onions. I added a pump of spicy mustard and I was set.
Now I’m not going to tell you this is the best thing in the world — but pound for pound, this stand will kick the ass of any other hot dog in the park. Delish — but I’m like a virgin in giving away 5-​stars, and a hot dog will never get five stars from me… not from anywhere. So consider this what it is, a fantastic hot dog — and a great place to eat while watching the Gigantes.

After tasting these delicious bratwursts, I will never go back to ballpark dogs ever again. Topped with plenty of sauerkraut and onions, it makes for a delicious meal at the ballpark and one of the best deals I might add. I know it’s $ 7.00, but what isn’t expensive at the park? I would agree that it is probably the best value food item. Sheboygan bratuwrsts also go great with garlic fries and carne asada nachos. My only complaint is that the bread buns are not fresh at all.
