Caitlin TaylorApril 5, 2016The FRIESSSSS. Thick-cut, crispy, well-salted, super flavorful. The buns are so effin good and the sausages are delicious (obviously). Try the mango-jalapeño with sweet peppers and caramelized onions!
Hillary NoelleApril 26, 2015So amazing and delicious. I got the veggie Italian and my friend got the rabbit and snake. Be prepared to wait outside on weekends. Try the dutchess = sour/sweet beer - red ale.
Combines traditional & exotic on an extensive menu of sausages you’ll find in Germany & elsewhere with a dynamite beer list & the best frites - this is a must stop whenever I’m in the Arts District.
KristenNovember 6, 2013So amazing. Austin and traditional kielbasa are the winners in my opinion. Get all the toppings on the side. Don't over look a small order of fries with chipotle aioli
Clarissa DolphinJune 23, 2014Everything's bomb! The groot (large) fries are barely enough for 2 people, get 2 larges if you're a French fry fan. The blue cheese bacon walnut fry dip is gourmet good. sodas & beers are delicious.- Terra TasteDecember 31, 2014Order the healthy way and try a bunch of Different Sausages. Choose your sausages then ask for no Buns and Order Plenty of Sauerkraut and Sautéed Onions and Peppers.
Tom MaxwellAugust 25, 2022Really great sausages here. I got the hot italian with sweet peppers on it, and that was fantastic. Pair with a cold German beer on a sunny afternoon. Can't beat it.
Usually a line a peak hours but it moves fast. You can't go wrong with a Hot Italian & spicy peppers (2 toppings is too much in my opinion). Get large fries with curry ketchup & chipotle aioli.
Carmen NMarch 18, 2015Try all the sausages! Try all the beers! Expand your palates with pheasant, duck, rattlesnake, and other offerings including a nice variety of vegetarian choices. Enjoy the frites and sauces!
Food never takes too long to come out and there’s usually seating either indoors or out. The sausages themselves are so so IMHO but nice spot to grab beers and hang with friends in Arts District
Chad KneubuhlAugust 16, 2012The best brats and beer in all southern California straight up. This place has a rad vibe too, it is in the art district of Los Angeles right on the boarder of little Tokyo. Incredible beer + brats
Justin OrdovezaOctober 17, 2014Great selection of odd sausages. The beer selection goes well with everything they offer. The medley of mustards adds some great spice to the sausages.
The fries are a must (get the chipotle aioli)! Duck bacon jalapeño is my fav. But they're all delicious!
Matt LewDecember 13, 2014This downtown “exotic sausage grill” features more than 20 varieties of sausage, served with a great array of dipping sauces to match. But the unusual meats are the real draw:
Akiko IAugust 12, 2014Duck, bratwurst, Santa Fe, rattle sneak... All tasty! They got a great beer (German and some Belgian) selection! It's lot better than Venice location(they can't cook well).
Kyle M.February 6, 2017Went for a Bachelor Party, had such a great time. ALL imports, delicious dark beer. Played Das' Boot. Housemade Soft Pretzel with freshly made Mustard. Was insanely good!
Brett WHSeptember 7, 2014Awesome Belgian beer, really good sausages, and the best thick cut fries in the world(?). Lines are stupid long if you come anytime in the vicinity of a traditional meal hour.
Cheap Best HiddenDecember 1, 2015The fries are a must. So crispy. Get extra sauces. The beer selection is wild. If beer is your thing, you’ll be happy. Read more
Hot Louisiana is the best if you're spicy lovers. Must try fried with so many kind of fantastic dipping sauces.
On the GridNovember 21, 2016If you’re having a nightcap, why not try their sort-of-secret ice cream sandwich: Toasted Apple Pie ice cream between two oatmeal raisin cookies. Read more
Eli ReynaJune 21, 2018Everything is good. I could literally eat here every day. The bratwurst is my go to, but the rattlesnake and rabbit is an exotic treat.
I'm a HUGE beer lover! Come get some of the best here on tap... I just Love beer. Trust.. you wanna get wasted and have a good dark beer, make sure you get a Spatten Optimator.. 2 or 3
Chrystal FairbanksFebruary 8, 2013In addition to trying an exotic sausage, if you have yet to experience Kielbasa ( a polish sausage) I highly recommend it! And the pesto mayo gives the fries a refreshing kick!
Leilani CarraraSeptember 13, 2011Go for more than one sausage, the ones on the exotics list are really good! Also, be sure to get the frites (I loved the Chipotle Aioli and Curry Ketchup) and treat yourself to a Köstritzer! Yum!!! Read more
Syndicate Media GroupNovember 22, 2011LA [Eat] This place usually has a line out the door with good reason. We go with a seasonal ale and one of their perfectly made sausages. Love its industrial but cozy vibe.
Sam J.July 13, 2012Grab a beer in line and make sure you spend the required time considering you options. The brat w/ sauerkraut and sweet peppers will never do you wrong and don't forget a large fries with that order!
Marta TapperoMay 9, 2017Sausages are delicious and decoration is on point. Honestly the service was not very friendly. When that happens, really just ruin a little bit of whatever is that you're eating.
MarissaSeptember 1, 2012Must eat the duck and jalapeño hot dog! Trust it! I was scared too. At first I was afraid. I was petrified. Then I also got the Thai peanut sauce with their thick-cut fries. Now I'm a believer.
RobAugust 8, 2018The Veggiewurst here is utterly spectacular. So good I didn’t even get around to trying the beer, in spite of the well stocked bar.
Kathleen N.December 30, 2013Belgian Waffle Fries with White Truffle Oil Glaze and Sun Dried Tomato dipping sauce...zomg died and went to heaven!
EriC B.March 17, 2015Order yourself a brat, an order fries to try the different dipping sauces, and and I washed it down with a nice cool pint of Old Rasputin.
Emily TseFebruary 13, 2012Try the Duck Sausage, Rattlesnake Sausage, and belgium fries - Love the variety of mustards and dipping sauces for the fries - my fav has walnut bacon and blue cheese in it
Ludwig HadererApril 18, 2017All sausages are good, but fries with truffle are amazing. I recommend to have them with the blue cheese and walnut dip
Lili RomeroJuly 11, 2011If you are eating in you must get the Floris Apple beer, it tastes like applesauce & is simply divine. I also recommend grabbing some wursts for the grill at home-all the taste & no lines!
ROBERTO BURRISApril 2, 2011For you true Sausage Eaters, try the Alligator & Pork or the Smoked Andouille Sausages with the Spicy Peppers, Belgian Fries and with a Spaten Pils Beer and you are set. Add Dijon Mustard and you are
Amanda RachauJanuary 24, 2015The mango jalapeño sausage is amazing! And try the blue cheese bacon walnut dip for the fries!!
Kelly KimJanuary 17, 2015Hotdog galore! My favorite is bratwurst. Great beer selection and awesome fries.
Daniel HernandezApril 23, 2012I came here during a scotmob deal and I was thoroughly impressed. Their spicy italian dog was amazing. Good amount of heat! As for beers, I suggest the Strawberry Beer by Fruli.
EDollaSignApril 18, 2013Had the Hot Italian and Fries with Curry Ketchup and kept it simple w/ a Pabst. Looking forward to exploring the menu and extensive beer selection!
LARGE order of the double-dipped TRUFFLE fries.. yummm~!! and you get to pick two dipping sauces.. my go-to sauces are: pesto mayo, curry ketchup, or chipotle aioli.
Nicole FranzenJanuary 25, 2015Delicious! Really great food. I'm a fan. Spicy Italian sausage and crispy fries. Mmmm
Josh BakerJune 26, 2014The restaurant is split into a bar and a deli front, you order from the deli front and sit at the bar side. The sauces are crazy good!
Danielle StolzJune 19, 2013The sun dried tomatoes sausage is to die for, and the room in the back is super clean and modern. Warning: their water may have cucumber in it.
Neal RAugust 27, 2014Extravagant choice of sausages (rattlesnake!!) and wide selection of beers (they even have Uerige Alt Beer from Düsseldorf)
They have a vegetarian option, vegan without the bun. It’s delicious and they have more drinks other than beer.
Valerie BuanMarch 10, 2013Bratwurst w/ caramelized onions, sauerkrauts, & spicy peppers. Belgian fries w/ curry ketchup! Yumms. Highly recommend.

"The heat for their wurst is on point. I like their currywurst, it is one of the best ones in L.A., though it falls short of what I had in Berlin."
