Best Sausages of 2025

"I hadn't had a summer sausage in years, but I had a craving for one. My family always got the Hickory Farms brand, but I think this one is better quality."

"I bought three of these to enjoy over the holidays. They are the absolute best I've ever had. Yes, they're a little oily, but I believe that adds to the great taste. I will keep buying these and recommending them."

"I get so easily distracted that I don't always read the product description in full. This was much smaller than I expected, but the flavor of the meat was great! I ate it in two sittings and didn't bother to share. I really enjoyed it and will definitely buy the larger size next time."

“Every Christmas, I get this for my husband, and he absolutely loves it. It’s just like the original!”

“I’m not sure what happened to my review, but I didn't enjoy these sausages. They had a weird flavor compared to my past Hickory Farms purchases. The meat was mushy, which isn't typical. I really wanted to return them for a refund since I won’t eat something that seems off.”

“I’ve always liked Hickory Farms products, and since I can't find them in our mall year-round, I order from Amazon. They’re perfect for my charcuterie board at parties, pairing wonderfully with crackers and cheeses.”

"This is the best summer sausage I've ever had. I love it on crackers as a snack. It's not hot, just a little spice to make it perfect. I will never go back to regular beef sausage again!"

"They did a fantastic job with this sausage. It's not high-end, but it really satisfies my snack cravings, especially with some spicy mayo and sharp cheddar cheese. I would definitely buy it again!"

"I used to buy summer sausages from a small, family-run Midwest farm that even grew their own jalapeños. Their sausage was excellent, and this one reminds me of it. Quality meat with a good grind and a well-balanced flavor of sausage, cheese, and peppers. I've already reordered!"

"I bought this after a hurricane, realizing I didn't have enough emergency food. Though I haven't tried it yet, I'm glad to have it on hand. It arrived quickly, well-packaged, and is lightweight, making storage easy."

"I got this for a long camping trip with a friend, and I was honestly surprised. Once cooked, I could barely tell this was dehydrated meat! It's a great product for anyone needing extra food for camping or emergencies."

"I love these products, but in the last few months, the prices have skyrocketed. I've even reached out to companies about the tripled prices. It's disheartening when preparing for emergencies becomes so costly."

"Having lived in England for 26 years, I know what a proper banger should be like. The taste and texture of these are spot on! I've tried many bangers in America that claimed to be 'authentic,' but they were all epic fails. These are the real deal! My only minor issue is their chipolata size. For $80, I received 70 bangers, which is a great deal!"

"My husband, originally from Dublin, absolutely loves the Donnelly Breakfast Sausages. They are a special treat for him. I order them for his birthday, and he always looks forward to them. He even shares with his golf buddies, and now they all anticipate them too. Thank you, Donnelly's, for making such a fantastic sausage!"

"I've always loved Irish Bangers, especially since my birthday is on St. Patrick's Day. I’m thrilled with this high-quality service and the bangers they provide. I highly recommend them for anyone seeking great Irish options!"

"I really enjoyed this product and will definitely purchase it again. It brings back memories of the summer sausage my mom used to buy during my childhood."

"When I saw the picture and the weight, I was unsure about the stick's size. From memory, it's about 10 inches long and 2 to 2.5 inches in diameter. The flavor is similar to a good summer sausage—not overly salty, with great spice. I tried to ration it, but it didn’t stop me from enjoying it!"

"This product tastes great, but wow, it's quite big and long! For the price and taste, it's pretty impressive!"

"I first discovered these back in '90 during my time in MS. Waffle House served them, and I couldn't resist asking about them. I was told any grocery store would have them, and I became hooked. I ordered some online, worried about shipping, but they took just 8 days with USPS and arrived still very cold. I was surprised! They taste just as good as I remember. For those concerned about their size, they are comparable to breakfast sausages in girth. Nothing has changed; they are still fantastic. Would I purchase them again? Probably! They are fully cooked and just need a quick browning in a skillet for 3 minutes on each side. I also enjoy them as hot dogs!"

"These sausages definitely have great flavor, but honestly, I don’t think they’re worth the price."

"These sausages are incredibly versatile! I can have them for breakfast or throw them on the grill in a hot dog bun. They have a unique flavor that I had never experienced until my visit to Alabama. Now, I always keep some on hand. Yum!"

"I'm thrilled to have found my husband's favorite summer sausage, which is typically a stocking stuffer but is no longer stocked in local grocery stores. Amazon's quick shipping was a lifesaver!"

"I really wish there was a store nearby, but I must say, Amazon's delivery is impressively fast!"

"I could enjoy Hickory Farms summer sausage all day long! I only wish I could get it whenever I want."

"I decided to try the Variety Pack with Original, Beef, and Jalapeno Cheddar, and I'm so glad I did. Growing up in Northeastern Pennsylvania, I know what good food is supposed to taste like. Seltzer's Smokehouse Brand Lebanon Bologna and Sweet Lebanon Bologna are what I consider the best substitutes to my childhood memories. But this! The Jalapeño Cheddar surprised me; the Jalapeno enhances rather than overpowers the flavors. I ate all the Jalapeño Cheddar in just two sittings! I highly recommend their line of Summer Sausage!"

"I’m a huge fan of Johnsonville sausages. The quality is consistently great, and the lean to fat ratio is just right. The flavor is fantastic!"

"I got the Old Wisconsin brand of summer sausage from Amazon and the Johnsonville today for comparison. The Johnsonville was tough, dry, and salty, making it difficult to eat. The Old Wisconsin is much moister and fresh. Honestly, the Johnsonville is so dry that I probably wouldn't even notice any bone fragments if there were any. I hope this helps!"

“I sent this to my dad, and he was very pleased with the size and flavor. He didn't mention anything negative about its appearance. For the price, it's a great purchase! My dad, on a limited budget, said he could eat on this for around 10 days, which is impressive with grocery prices so high. I would definitely buy it again and recommend it to anyone.”

“I bought this for my on-the-spectrum nephew for his 25th birthday, as he loves summer sausage. There aren’t many things he enjoys, so Hickory Farms summer sausage is always a hit! I was surprised by how BIG the party size is. I didn’t even know this size existed until I found it on Amazon. I ordered it late, thinking it would arrive by Christmas, but luckily we celebrate on Dec 29. Fingers crossed it arrives on time!”

“I purchased this for my daughter's wedding reception, and everybody loved it. It was delivered quickly, which made everything easier!”
