Just had to come back again and stock up so we have enough authentic sausages and meats to last a while. The leberkasse is my favorite that I have found so far in the states. We also love the cold cuts and always grab several ring bologna. IYKYK. Nice assortment of mustards too. I wish it had a place to sit and eat, that's the only negative read more

I'm part German, part Polish, so it's no exaggeration when I say that I love sausages. I've been wanting to go inside this store for years, but it always seemed like I was on the way somewhere else (like Franklin Square) when I would remember it existed. We finally made it a priority destination two weeks ago, only to discover that they are closed on Thursdays. We made a triumphant return this past week, and after decades of wondering what it was like inside, we made it into the store! Wow, it smells so good in there. Truthfully, I was a bit surprised by how small the shop is, but I haven't been in many butcher shops. The selection of wursts and other meats were baffling to me. We were given a piece of paper, like a menu, that told us what each sausage was, ingredients used, and how it should taste. I ended up with a pound of BAUERNWURST (SMOKED, WITH MUSTARD SEEDS). Oddly, enough, my boyfriend and I also went to the German Christmas Village in downtown Baltimore and they were serving the same kind of wurst at their grilled meat stand. I thought that the ones we cooked at home were better. We paired it with German potato salad for dinner. It was delicious and satisfying. My mother also bought a pound of the same sausage, but now refuses to eat it because she says that it contains beef. There's no sensible reason for her not to eat beef. She just does it to be contrary. She's certainly missing out on a taste sensation. I asked her if I could have her pound, but she refused. She's complex. She also got some BREAKFAST SAUSAGE (NUERNBERGER STYLE W/SWEET MARJORAM AND SAGE) which she absolutely loved. I would really like to try other sausages from this shop, and the low cost makes that very much possible. Would recommend read more

Easy to find location with a large selection of meat, cheese, and sausage. Service was friendly and helpful. The only thing we didn't have was a grill at the store. read more

Binkert's in the Rosedale neighborhood of Baltimore has excellent meats just like you will find in Germany, they supply the meats to the Old Europe restaurant in Glover Park (Washington DC). They also carry rye bread. Give them a try, you will not be disappointed. Their pricing on the meats is also very reasonable. They are closed on Thursdays. read more

Good curry wurst. We are used to Chicago ethnic market prices. These were higher, but a local said they were in line with the area. Meat wasfresh and spicing was mild, but pleasing. Good natural casing. read more

I am from Germany and to know that I won't miss my lunch meat is out of this world. And they also have German coffee and teas.

Excellent products, everything I have tried has been delicious. My dad was German and said the sausages I brought him were delicious and very authentic. read more

HOLY CRAP! If you're looking for quality German meats... look NO FURTHER! This is it! I always forget I'm a 15 ride from this store. It used to be a cash only store and they've recently changed over to taking cards which makes this even more dangerous for my wallet! Seriously though. This location has incredible fresh baked German breads, sausages of all kinds, teawurst, landjagers, liverwurst, and SO much more. The incredible fresh cut meats smell that you get when you walk in is breath taking... in a good way! Instead of heading to Giant, Safeway, Food Lion, or any other local grocery store, PLEASE give this place a shot for quality meat cuts. This isn't a steak house kind of situation, so don't get your hopes up there. They have a ton of sausages, dogs, and brats! Seriously, you need to try it out if you haven't. AND, they're reasonably priced. If you're in that area, I highly recommend stopping in. Plus, the staff are super helpful and friendly. We will return! read more

I haven't been able to get quality German food goods since living there and I'm glad I found this place. Good service and prices. Got my sausages, potato salad, condiments, and sides here for my own little Oktoberfest. They had a great bread selection too! They make a lot in house and have a great selection! I will definitely be back and am glad I found this place! Extra hot German mustard? Yes, please! read more

Binkert's is the absolute finest for wursts sandwich meats etc. worth the trip. The service is always fast and friendly. Not sure what the ambiance should be but I get hungry as soon as I walk in read more

The absolute best quality authentic German cold cuts, smoked meats, fresh and smoked sausage, smoked pork chops, tea wurst, fine and medium grind braunschweiger, smoked franks with "nap" when you bite into it. Imported German groceries condiments. Fresh baked breads on Fridays, Sonya and Luther both co owners and their staff will serve you quickly and package all your products professionally. I believe they are closed on Thursdays. read more

Very authentic german cold cuts and sausages,love the grocery section also.Everytime we visit Baltimore we have to stop and treat ourselves to some great "Wurst" read more

The best German meat products I've found! Made in house. Their landjager and kesseler are out of this world! They are very friendly as well. Been shopping here for more than 20 years, my German father lived their products as well. read more

The best place in Baltimore to get German meats and sausages made right there on the premises and all fresh. There are other German products sold there also. They service many German restaurants in the area. I am luck since I live only 10 minutes away but would be well worth the drive to go there. Being first generation American of German decent and when we had many more German restaurants in the Baltimore area growing up mostly all gone today, it truly does bring back the German food flavor many of the older German's here in the area. read more

Binkert's has the best German sausages around. I like that when you walk in, there is a selection of German grocery products on the counter. I love curry ketchup and the deli mustard in the little beer mugs. They sometimes carry German coffee brands Tchibo and Eduscho are my favorites. The sausages and liverwurst are phenomenal. The Bavarians are great for the grill and the Nurembergers are great for the breakfast table. I would love if Harzer cheese was a regular. I miss Hand Käse mit Muzik. Binkert's helps me to not miss Germany so much. read more

Still the best German meats around. Customer service doesn't seem to be like it used to be back in the day though. Stopped in before closing today after a long time away and received very snippy service. Hopefully I just caught somebody on a bad day! read more

As a German native I felt like I had to visit this place. The location is a bit awkward out by Essex. At first I was a bit disappointed by how hard the pretzel I got was even though they were made right. The meat products however are amazing! I already ate almost half my sliced Leberkäse in the parking lot and the liverwurst is better and cheaper than "gourmet" whole foods'. They have a good variety of meats and the place has a very small business feel to it. read more

This is authentic German. If you've had it in Germany, these meats will bring those memories streaming back. If you haven't, then it's just plain great. Everything thing that I have had so far, has been so very good. The bread is fresh and tasty, and the meats are just like some of my favorites from the Rheinland Pfalz! read more

When I lived in Annapolis, I would seek out Binkerts frankfurters that were only available in a couple of grocery stores because they are THE BEST! I have since moved nearby and can get all of their FABULOUS products. I feel so lucky! I now have to be gluten free. I have not yet asked them about whether anything is off limits for me, but we are planning to go over next week and I'll be sure to find out. Keeping my fingers firmly crossed... read more

Amazing!!!!!!! My father has just footed back from Germany and this is where I went for his Christmas presents!! Everything is perfect!! Everyone was helpful and sweet, and the meats are soooo tasty!!! We couldn't be happier, we couldn't stop getting products from here, they also have cookies mustards etc! This is one of the cultural spots that make the Baltimore area the best!!! read more

There are a few places I go in Baltimore to get quality foods. Binkert's is one of my favorites. You will literally smell the smoked foods from the road as you're driving up. They smoke in the back and the store is small with a few items on the shelves and coolers along with the deli counter. What I like: 1. Their hot dogs are awesome. We used to only get the frankfurters (long/skinny) but not prefer the shorter/fatter version. They cook up great on the grill. 2. Their lunch meats are amazing especially the bologna, salami and smoked pork. They have a lot of other traditional German items that others have mentioned but I usually stick to a few things. 3. German mustard in the glass container that looks like a small glass with a handle is the best I've ever had. I cannot use any other mustard now. 4. Their jerky hanging to the left behind the deli counter is really awesome! Never tried their bacon but it looks amazing so gotta try some time. 5. The bread they get in (I think from Canada) is really good. 6. Their workers are very nice and will let you try a piece of lunch meat before you commit to buy it. What I don't like: NOTHING TIP: They are cash or check ONLY p.s. Other specialty places I recommend are: Prima Foods (Greek - awesome cheese and olives), Trinacria (Italian but have not been there in awhile. Got turned off by one of the workers awhile ago), Punjab (Indian - great selection of spices) and Krakus Deli (Polish). My wife goes to some Russian stores on Randallstown Road but I could tell you the name. read more

When the Fraulein behind the butcher counter came out of the back with a huge side of smoked pig and custom cut inch thick pork chops, cupids arrow pierced the stomach. Where had this bavarian swine goddess been all of my life? The "kassler" smoked chops are an incredibly tender hammy romance. Smoked sausage rings of all shapes and sizes hang on huge drying racks behind the counter. Ja, das ist gut! Binkerts smoked meat olfactory overload clouds decision making. Too chicken to dive into the varietals of head cheese and liverwurstesque lunch meats, focus turns to the amazing fresh sausage display. Dazed and confused by the tempting huge sausage selection, lean on the expertise of the sweet and patient Germanic meat expert. Please pick out two of each of your favorites. No more. No, more. You know it is time to stop when she shoots the incredulous look and asks "Ven is your party?" Get your pork on at Binkerts, macht schnell! read more

Awesome German butcher shop with real deal sausages from the homeland. The bratwurst that we got were tasty but a little salty. The smaller nurnburger sausages were excellent. Prices are fair and ingredients are clearly labeled on all meat products. We were trying to avoid sodium nitrite and it was clearly labeled which sausages had it and which didn't. We stocked up on vacuum-sealed packages of weiswurst and bratwurst for the freezer. They also have good lunch meats as well and a selection of very German condiments (sauerkraut, mustards, little pickled thingys). It's a bit of a hike from central Baltimore City, but we combined a trip to Binkert's with a trip to Holabird Sports -- they're less than a mile apart. read more

It's a legit, family owned place with good deli meats and a nice selection of sausages as well as a nice sampling of German grocery items. We're lucky to have a place like this in the Baltimore area. read more

I'm enjoying finding all of the ethnic shops around town. This time I stumbled upon a strictly German butcher. So now I know where to buy authentic bratwurst. Everything is $5.50lb. Pretty simple. And I heard a rumor they get authentic pretzel bread in on Fridays. I'll be investigating this and will update my review. read more

I am reviewing the sausages from Binkert's only, not the shop itself. These are possibly the best German sausages I have ever had - and I've had the pleasure of having versions in Cleveland, Chicago, Madison, and Germany itself. Binkert's offers a selection of wurst to be envied - brats, of course, but also weisswurst (veal), bauernwurst (smoky!), nürnberger (w/ marjoram), knackwurst (mild), and debriziner (spicy). Oh, and don't forget the frankfurters - footlongs - which are definitely the BEST "hot dogs" I have ever eaten. These things are the real deal. An impressive selection. And according to an article on the place in the Baltimore Sun, the owner sources his meat (at least his pork) from Amish and Mennonite farmers in PA because he feels the quality of other meats is too low for his wurst. Once you've had Binkert's, those Johnsonville brats will never taste quite as good again! read more

My german grandmother used to take me here as a kid, and I still find myself going back today. Truly the best german grocery around. I make the trip from Annapolis about once a month. I went to Munich for a few weeks this summer, and I can honestly say that Binkert's meat is as authentic as it gets. read more

The first thing you notice when you walk in the door is that this place smells awesome. I could just camp out and smell the smoked meats all day long. There's a handful of German and Bavarian prepared goods by the door, and there's freshly baked bread on rolling carts (grab a loaf with the provided towel and bag it yourself). But the thing that will catch your attention is the deli case and the rack of dried, cured, and smoked sausages and bacon behind the counter. Much of the deli cuts are made on site. Practically all of the sausages are. They cure and smoke their own bacon, too, and slice to order. The bacon smells incredible - like eyes roll back in your head good. I grabbed some Blutwurst (blood sausage), a loaf of Baviarian-style white bread, a jar of extra spicy Dusseldorf mustard, a half dozen Vienna-style frankfurters, a package of Weisswurst, and a pound of thick-cut bacon. Ran about $30. Which is impressive for fresh, locally made specialty deli. Binkert's goes on my regular rotation list. No question. If you want old-school delicatessen, you need to make a trip. Note: not easy to see from the road until you're almost past it. They're right next to the Royal Farms gas station. Another note: IMPORTANT - they are cash-only. Or personal check (if you still use those). NO PLASTIC! read more

Binkert's is the best meet market around by far! They are also the nicest people you could meet! Stop in and check the place out!

This was my first time here of soon to be many more visits. The lady behind the counter was very helpful and friendly and I ultimately chose to go with the fresh brats this time upon her recommendation. Prices were decent and after I went home and cooked them properly, they were some of the best I have had. Definitely reminiscent of true German sausages I have had in my travels. I cannot wait to go back and try their other selections. read more

This place has a great variety of fresh and smoked German sausages, frankfurters, weiners, etc. The prices are reasonable.

Best sausages you can possibly get around here. I'm very familiar with German meat products so take it from me, everything here is good. I especially love the blood sausage. Mmm! PS: The sausage maker here knows his stuff. Read the Urbanite article done on this place. read more

I worked for a few months in Baltimore, I am originally from Miami. I travel a lot for work. Each new city I land in, I like to explore and find a secret treasure. Binkert's is it! The place is literally a mini-sausage factory with every thing freshly made on premises. I tried weiners, sausages and hams, the kassler is my favorite. High quality meats and products yet at a very reasonable price, about $6 bucks a pound for most everything. This place is a real Baltimore treasure! read more

The best in Baltimore! I strongly recommend the liverwurst, bread, and zungenwurst!

Best sausages and meat products around. I make the trip from the other side of the city as often as I can. So much better than anything I've tasted this side of the Atlantic! read more

Hands down the finest and most ethnic German deli from D.C. to Philly. They make all of their own sausages, wursts, weinners and various lunchmeats. I spent a few years in W. Germany and know the difference. They are the real deal. Try the weisewurst, a delicate white sausage or any of the brats. Ask to sample some smoked sausage while you're there. And if you're brave...try a slice of the blood wurst with tongue. Best Ive had since living in Germany. read more

I always stop in when I go east on the beltway. I cannot find anything that stands up to their Liverwurst or Brats locally.

When I got married in Baltimore, my German mother-in-law insisted that we have blutwurst at our wedding reception and our savvy caterer got it at Binkert's. I trek out there every couple of months to stock up on their fantastic meats. I won't repeat the previous review of the wursts, which are spectatular but also encourage trying the fine liverwurst, salami (better than any Italian deli salami I've found in B-more), franks and my favorite, smoked pork chops (Kasseler, bone in is better than boneless). They also have the very dense square pumpernickel bread that is ubiquitous in Germany, and rye bread from a huge loaf that you can buy by the slice. My only disappointment is that they don't carry currywurst sauce, a Berlin speciality that I love. read more

I never visited their store but I buy their products (Bratwurst, Nuernberger, Landjaeger etc.). Since I grew up in Germany so I can testify that this is as authentic as it gets and very flavorful. The prices are not bad for the quality. I wish they would consider selling their products at the Potomac or Bethesda farmer's market. Balducci in Bethesda carries some of their products. read more
