Liehs & Steigerwald

Great place but had my first bad experience. There was a convoluted sign outside about buy two beers get one free. So two for one deal? No, it was a joke. It was not funny and bar tender was snippy. I was so annoyed none of the 5 people I was with ordered a beer or soft drink. Leaving I told cashier lady the sign was stupid and we did not order beer because of the sign. Not much she could do beyond say sorry. Get on the ball guys. You really screwed up today.

I absolutely love this place. Great artisan products, old school methods, and friendly staff.
Try the Pepperettes for a spicy snack — seriously some of the best jerky I’ve had.

Most excellent butchers. Tremendous variety of sausages including British style bangers, my favourite. Also bacon with more meat than fat! Deli sandwiches too. And if you have an unusual request, they will do their best to accommodate it. This will be my regular meat purveyor from now on. Great place. But they don’t answer emails so don’t bother with the contact tab

According to the sign out front Liehs & Steigerwald’s has been dominating the sausage and bratwurst scene in Syracuse since 1936! How am I just learning about them now?!
We’re talking about specialty sausages like chorizo, andouille, and kielbasa; bratwursts in the beef, pork and chicken varieties; and German hot dogs and coneys. All are around $ 7 a pound and all good in size.
But lets concentrate, specifically, on those chicken brats. We picked up a few Spicy Buffalo Wing Chicken* Bratwursts recently for a bbq and I looooved them! Chicken, hot sauce and bits of blue cheese all mixed up! Sooo so good! Other chicken varieties included bacon/​ranch/​chive, cordon bleu, rosemary/​garlic. Nom nom nom. I want to try them all! And I will be next time I’m up in the ‘Cuse. :-)

Best brawts I’ve ever had. Less salt than grocery stores. Reasonable price.

Best Bratwurst outside of Müchen
Go either to the original on Grant or the new place in Downtown. And get the best hot dogs and bratwurst in CNY. Their meat is terrific better than anything you could get at that chain supermarket everyone loves. They have a wonderful collection of snefs from Germany. Their cooked sauerkraut is perfect for use with the brats or in a choucroute which you can make with their smoked pork chops.
The staff at both Grant or downtown are friendly — helpful — and know what they are doing. They won’t steer you wrong. If you are just stoping downtown to pick stuff up — there are loading zone parking spaces in the alley — just leave one free for me.

This place is the real deal! Try the extra hot sausages and the extra hot horse radish. The absolute best!

Ordered a brisket and pork ribs. Outstanding quality. Everything looked so good. Ribs were pre-​cut KC style with the membrane pulled back (saved me a significant amount of time). What’s even better is that I didn’t even have to request that. Best butcher in CNY hands down

What could be better than this?
OK, maybe a butcher shop that’s open on Sundays. But Liehs & Steigerwald has fantastic meat served by knowledgeable people, over a dozen kinds of bratwurst, and a big selection of surprisingly good pre-​made food.

This place has the best cold cuts. The house made deli meats are amazing and they have the freshest boars head. Love this place!

I LOVE MEAT! Such a refreshingly old-​school butcher shop. They do one thing, and they do it perfectly… MEAT! Do yourself a favor and try the Cheddar Bratwurst!

The first thing I walked in, I was treated with awesome customer service. I went to the Liehs & Steigerwald across from the Great Northern Mall and had a great lunch. They have a vast amount of their homemade lunchmeat and sausages that they were more than willing to let you sample. They also sell Boar’s Head meats and assemble amazing sandwiches. If I could, I would come here everyday for lunch! :D

Every time I walk into this place, I’m always mad at myself afterwards for not going in here more.
Their sausages are just phenomenal. My father, who knows his food, has declared that their extra hot Italian sausage is the best sausage he’s ever had. High praise if you know my father.
They always have great looking cuts of meat as well but I’ve never purchased anything. Thankfully this place is a two minute drive from my house, so I know I’ll be back in the near future.

I absolutely agree everyone else here, this is a 5-​star establishment. Gorgeous and inspiring cuts of meat and homemade goodies like sausage, kielbasa and deli meat. Staff is equally awesom

I went in because I wanted some fresh meat and the quality didn’t disappoint. Still, I was shocked at the variety of sausages and other stuff they had available. I can’t wait to hold another cookout so I can go back, try out some of their other stuff, and have my friends compliment me about what a great chef I am.

A great meat market from somebody who lives near many in Chicago. Their sausages are great and the sandwich meats are just as savory, try the homemade pastrami, it puts Boar’s Head and others to shame. We ended up here during our vacation as we needed chorizo sausage for a recipe, the only place we could find in Syracuse that had it, and it was good. Stop by for a sandwich or some brats, you won’t be disappointed.

Awesome Saurbraten!

it smells so awesome in here. i wasn’t too impressed with the kielbasa, but the pierogies and the jar of pickles that i picked up on a whim were both tasty. they have a lot of different variety of meats and i plan on going back again to get some sausage, sauerkraut, and/​or bratwurst. i would highly recommend this place if you are looking for an old-​school butcher shop.

An old world butcher on Syracuse’s North Side. German sausage and quality pieces of meat.

Great place for German Meats. The small shop on Grant always smells good. We have had their holiday kielbasa, which half a ring is big enough for a family of four with two teenage boys. I didn’t care for their smaller bratwurst, I prefer the plumper type. Which they do have and are good.
Recently we had to special order some sausages, which they gladly did (there is a minimum pound limit). They turned out great! It is nice to have a place near by will get you exactly what you need.
Highly recommend for supplies for grilling this summer.
