Kramarczuk's
Best Sausage & Deli in Minneapolis · MN
Nordeast's Ukrainian sausage house
Kramarczuk's has made Eastern European sausage and comfort food in Northeast Minneapolis since Wasyl and Anna Kramarczuk, immigrants from Ukraine, opened in 1954. The cafeteria-line deli plates house-made kielbasa, cabbage rolls, pierogi, and varenyky, with a bakery counter of poppyseed rolls and rye.
A James Beard America's Classic and the anchor of the neighborhood's Ukrainian heritage, Kramarczuk's still makes nearly everything in-house — old-world cooking kept alive for seventy years.
