G & W Meat & Bavarian Style Sausage Co Inc

I’ve been patronizing quite number of years and I can truthfully say I been pleased by each and every time. Their house made sausages are all delicious. I would recommend G&W. To anyone

We love coming here to get our meat. The customer service is so good and the product is even better. We love walking in to friendly faces. I am always pleased with them. The Cajun meat sticks are our favorite.

What they do, they do very well. I grabbed two each of three different types of brats on Friday and grilled them for lunch on Sunday.
Hungarian — nice paprika flavor with just the slightest hint of heat. Slightly red in color so easily distinguished once the platter hits the table.
Regular — solid brat offering with a slight garlic flavor.
Beer — add a bit of adult beverage flavor to the regular on this one. My favorite by far and the one that will bring me back when I’m in the area.

Bought several of their sausage variety to bring hone! Very accommodating and helpful staff. The place smells great! Must stop on your next trip! Free Beer while you wait!

Every time I visit this place, my heart warms. From the minute you walk in, the service is so welcoming. Who doesn’t like a free beer? Don’t forget your koozie! G&W has the BEST brats I’ve ever had. If you’ve never tried the jalapeño and pepper jack, get your butt down to Parker St! So good and totally worth a visit or 10. And, LADIES… the meat men in the back are sooo dreamy!

I have been shopping at G&W for many years, since I discovered their hausmacher smoked liverwurst at Global Foods and tracked them down. If you eat liverwurst at all, this stuff is a dream, like creamy liver flavored butter. Wonderful.
I am also a regular customer of their Jalapeño Bratwurst (the variety without cheese). Since St Louis does not have the smoked sausage tradition that you find in Texas, these are the next best thing. Put them in your smoker the next time you smoke ribs, or whatever and smoke them low and slow until they are the way you like them. They have some heat and are wonderful smoked.
I am also a customer of their franks and wieners. They deserve five stars, but I am reserving one since they have NEVER offered me a beer in all the years I have been coming here. (Maybe I should add a star for not having to drink a Busch)

We discovered this butcher shop through groupon and have revisited many times since. These nice folks have absolutely, hands down, the best brats in St. Louis. Plus a free can of Busch beer while you wait!

Only place in town you can walk in the door and get an icecold beer for free and best brats in town…

We came here after finding out the great brauts we had at Urban Chestnut were made here. This is an awesome little butcher shop and to find this place you are probably going to need a GPS and hope that one of the few parking spots is available. They did offer us a beer and we accepted (I hope people wouldn’t just come here for a free beer and then complain about not getting one or offered one, that shouldn’t be the reason for coming nor a reason for a bad review) We got a quite a few items and were a little disappointed that they were out of Jalapeño brauts but hey its made fresh and when they out they out. Of particular interest to me was the «Hungarian» braut. This braut pays perfect homage to the flavors, minus the heat, of a true Hungarian sausage. I am just sad that I am out of state and only decided to get a pound of the sausages. All the meat looked great and everything that we have had so far is spot on. I just wish they were in the state that I am from so that I could stop by and get fresh meats each week. A must got in my opinion

Stopped in today having some time to kill and what a surprise was awaiting me. This place was so cool I can’t believe I have lived in STL all these years and never been here!
I absolutely LOVE andouille sausage and I bought a ton of it. I ran home to grill some up I just couldn’t wait to drag out a long involved recipe to start using it up! Delish! So fricking good I can’t even articulate how grand that andouille tasted. I will rest well tonight with my full tummy
Also purchased the original brats, some dog bones that my dogs have gone crazy over, and while I was there, sipping on my Busch, I noticed how wonderful their meat looked. I need a roast and they had some monster size roast meat so I mentioned to the butcher and he said I’ll just cut this one in half! What great customer service.
This place is my new find for 2014.

Its a nice little German meat shop in the heart of South City. They will hand you a beer while you wait in line or decide what to order. There are plenty of selections on sausages and other meats. The shop has a small selection of assorted items on the shelves in the back to prevent you from running to Schnuck’s. I was able to pick up small bones and pig snoots as treats for the dog at home, only a dollar.
The parking lot is small and the hours are not always the most convenient. But, a quality product and free beer makes up for a lot on the south side.

This place is a hidden gem! I never would have found it without Unilocal.It’s in a small lot behind a car dealership and it’s easy to miss.
I’m glad to have found it, though, because the meat is of good quality, I experienced awesome service, and the price is great. Plus, it’s not too far from where I live, so that’s always a plus.
When we arrived and one of the employees learned that it was our first time, he really took the time to give us a run down of all the different products available. He even stepped out from behind the counter to our side, the customer side, and walked us through the displays while explaining the types of sausages they had.
Although it’s quite small, there are a lot of options and my husband and I were having trouble choosing what to buy — we wanted to try a lot of things! We finally decided to go with their original brats, the beer brats, and the garlic brats.
When we got home, my husband cooked the original and the beer brats in a cast iron grill pan (we don’t have a real grill yet). Both varieties tasted great! I can’t wait to try the garlic brats and to return so we can try other things (probably the Andouille sausage and the peppered bacon).
They don’t have every kind of meat, but they’re a specialty shop and what they do have, they seem to do it very well.

Who doesn’t love a place that offers you a free beer when you walk in the door! It’s Busch beer, but still. They have amazing sausage, brauts, and authentic German cured meats. The Black Forest ham is powerful good. Worth the drive from anywhere in the county!

Great food here! My husband and I had G&W brats before at a friend’s BBQ and fell in love. Both of us absolutely HAD to buy the LivingSocial deal they offered a few months back.
I waited to redeem them until my parents were in town to visit. They were excited to try some local STL flavor and loved both the salami and horseradish cheese. Cheese was not over-​powering and very creamy! Most horseradish cheeses can be strong and make your eyes water — ugh. The salami had great flavor and sliced perfectly. The store has some dry goods along one wall. My Dad couldn’t resist a couple bags of Haribo licorice rope candy, but he said it tasted old when snacking on it later that night. Agreed.
Definitely should have read the reviews before coming. Like many have said, a staff member asked «Want a beer?» while we waited. Our party of four hesitated… then only accepted two. No mention of price as they handed them out to patrons. Upon leaving, one person in our group said they saw a sign that said beers were 1.50. Not sure what and/​or if we were charged, but that is kinda misleading if so. We were all first-​time visitors, and no one bothered to explain even when we noticeably balked at the question. If they were free, thanks! Way to encourage repeat customers.
We visited after a late lunch on Saturday, and it was very busy in the hour before closing. The staff was not so big on answering questions as they were just getting your order and getting you out the door. Normally, I really appreciate that!
However, our salesperson kinda got an attitude when I asked a simple question, like an estimate on how much food we’d already selected (to make sure we met the minimum for our LivingSocial deals). Yeesh. It was the weekend and an hour before closing, I understand, but when we tell you we’ve never actually been in the store, try to go easy on the newbies. We ended up getting several brat flavors, sausages, bacon, cheese and more. Great deal from a great local business!

My first words when I walked in…“This place is the «Meat Mecca»!
G&W is a great place to pick up some specialty brats and other assorted German treats. The minute you walk in you get the offer for a cold beer to help you choose your meaty preferences. We get a few pounds of brats, some fresh cut bacon and maybe a few of the deli/​luncheon meats. They are all top notch and delicious.
The Weisswurst is my favorite of the brats. It’s a veal/​pork blend and needs to be eaten rather soon to avoid spoiling. The jalapeño brats and garlic brats are also awesome.
They will process deer for you if you are a hunter. That’s a bonus.
Overall, you can’t go wrong here. The prices are fair, the meat quality if superb and the experience is always wonderful. Support local business and stop in!

After a friend brought their flank steak jerky to a trivia night, I knew I had to check this place out. It did not disappoint!
I bought some more jerky, but I will definitely be back for some sausages come grilling season.

GUESS WHAT!!!
SOMEONE…somewhere — - must have read my review—
because.
wait for it…
now if you check in on FB OR Unilocal you get a free coozie!!!
YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!
Before it was only FB, and now — - Unilocal! yesssssssss! sweet victory.

This has been on my list of place to try for some time now, so when a Living Social deal came along it gave me the push needed to actually make it here.
I picked up some Cajun chicken sausage, all beef hot dogs, original brats, and a few beer brats. So far I have only tried the hot dogs and the original brats. Both were nice and thick with a good casing, and flavorful too.
Even though a coupon brought me in, I will be back and gladly pay full price. The beer and free coozie when you check in on Unilocal are definitely great touches.

I love G & W! It’s hidden off Kingshighway, and it’s a true gem. The sausages are delicious – far better than grocery store brats, and not really any pricier! I love the cheddar brats, and my husband loves their beer brats. I even like the ice cold cans of Busch they hand out when there’s a line, and I’m not normally an AB fan. There’s just something about the place that makes the beer taste good – even at 11:00 a.m.
We first visited because we had a Groupon, and we’ve been regular repeat customers ever since. We even took my dad a big selection of their sausages and the beef sticks as part of his Christmas gift this year, and we included a big jar of the German kraut they carry, too! (My mom was NOT thrilled… she’s not a kraut fan.)
Even when it’s busy, the employees have always been friendly and willing to answer any questions we might have. It’s a congenial atmosphere (possibly the beer helps!), and we always leave with more than we intended to purchase. The nice little selection of mustards and other imported foods is great, too.

What other meat market offers you a beer while you are browsing over their meat counter? It may only be a Busch beer, but hey it’s the thought that counts right?
It is actually kind of humorous to see customers sipping on beers waiting their turn to select some of the best bratwurst and sausages in the city.
It was my first visit to G&W, I had heard great stories so I bought a discount coupon off of one of those sites. It was a great deal and saved me $ 20. Being our first visit, we were like little children in a candy store. We were wanting it all and had a hard time narrowing it down. Our selection was their Original Bratwurst, which has been served at Grants Farm for over 30 years. We also got Andouille, a Cajun style sausage, which made a very tasty jambalaya.
We didn’t stop at brats and sausages, we also got some ground beef for chili and I found the best Pepper Jack Cheese. Pepper Jack is by far my favorite cheese and this is the best I have found here in STL.
To go along with the sausages and brats they have a good selection of brown & yellow mustard’s. They also have the famous Billy Goat Chips. Not having tried their new «Kicker» chips, we had to grab a bag of those as well.
The customer service is down home southern hospitality. Remember, they offer you a beer as you shop.
P. S.
Attention: Bambi Killers aka Deer Hunters
G&W does offer on site deer processing and they process each deer separately so that the meat you get is your sweet innocent little Bambi.
I thought this was an amazing service for a business located in a major city.
