The Sausage Kitchen, 1706 Rapids Drive, is a Racine favorite. Opening in 1958, the northside establishment keeps the business in the family. Similarly, they pride themselves in owning and operating this function.
What makes this bite to eat so special?
Ted and Lil Miller, of Kenosha, first owned the delicatessen. Since opening, the Sausage Kitchen has been kept in the family. The operation first served the Racine area as a corner store and deli. The finest cuts of meats and lunchtime favorites have attracted Racine residents for years.
Standing by the Products They Sell
In 1975, the Sausage Kitchen took its next step by adding a restaurant to their business. The eatery imports items like grape leaves, roasted peppers, cracked wheat, and more.
With a deli loaded with meats and cheeses, it’s hard for a Wisconsinite to pass up this place. It’s a one stop shop for all your needs. They’ve got all your bases covered through their convenience store and selection of beers too.
“Even when people leave Racine, The Sausage Kitchen is never forgotten,” said David and Pat Miller.
Customer Appreciation
The nostalgic, Racine location serves people with great food, but good times too. Likewise, generations of families and friends find the Sausage Kitchen to be a common ground for sharing memories and spending quality time together.
