The useful part

Come Hungry for the Sausage Fest at This Small Town Oregon German Restaurant Food & Drink Restaurants Come Hungry for the Sausage Fest at This Small Town Oregon German Restaurant Published: 20, 2026 Written by Danielle Denham There are certain foods you probably shouldn't encounter when you're hungry enough to make questionable decisions. A photograph of a perfectly browned bratwurst, perfectly nestled into a nest of sauerkraut and grilled onions is one of them.

How it works

• You've been warned.) It is, however, exactly the sort of glorious plate of food I hope to find when somebody tells me we're going to a German restaurant.
• Because recently, as I was sitting down to find images for an article on Mount Angel, Oregon, that's exactly what happened.
• I'm not sure if that's what contributed to my life-long love of Bavarian food, but I'm sure the Saxon genes don't hurt.
• Angel Sausage Company, a wonderfully unapologetic little slice of Europe tucked into northwestern Oregon.
• The company says its Smoke Haus produces more than 30 artisan sausage varieties Don't Miss:

What to take from it

This is the meal in the photo that grabbed my attention in the first place. Victoria Sesney If you're building a plate specifically because you want the German experience, I'd have a hard time passing up the spaetzle, rotkohl or German potatoes. European Wurst Tour, Chancellor's Plate, Bavarian Wurst Dinner, pork schnitzel and the Mount Angel Melt Vegetarian Options:

Example or evidence

• Basically, somebody looked at the idea of a sausage sampler and decided subtlety was completely overrated, and that's perfectly fine by me.
• Angel Sausage Company The business is f amily owned and operated by the Hoke's:
• The Smoke Haus produces 35 varieties of artisan sausage, along with bacon, jerky, snack sticks, pepperoni, summer sausage and other specialty meats.
• Angel Sausage Company feels less like somebody created a German-themed restaurant here and more like the restaurant naturally belongs to the town around it.

Details worth keeping

[Side note: I miss Der Rheinlander.] I ended up tracing the photo to Mt. Angel Sausage Company And while Mount Angel itself already feels a little like somebody accidentally dropped an Alpine village into the middle of the Willamette Valley, this place takes the whole experience several delicious steps further. Angel Sausage Company isn't simply serving bratwurst.
