Mattern’s Sausage & Deli

Best bratwurst/bockwurst knockwurst branswieger etc I've had in California. Must love German food

Very tiny place inside with a large selection of fresh German cold cuts, sausages and cheeses. You can also have lunch inside. There are a few tables and chairs and you can order a fresh made sandwich with sides. Mybfamily and I go about once a week to stock up on our traditional foods. I highly recommend it because everything tastes so very good. Prices are average for what you would pay at grocery stores for not so equal quality.

Stopped at Mattern this afternoon for our favorite sandwich - a Pastrami Reuben with sauerkraut - YUM!

Their sandwiches are the best around! And as an added bonus, they have an awesome deli with a great selection of sausages, pastrami, deli meats and cheeses. One of our favorite sausages is the Gyulai - which comes in both regular and spicy - both are really good! It's kind of like a slim jim. We like to slice it up and take it on our road trips along with string cheese and crackers - it's a great on -the-go snack.

And if you get a sandwich, be sure to pick up a side to go with your sandwich - my side of choice is the coleslaw, but they also have a good German potato salad.

The sandwiches are very generous and my hubby and I usually share one sandwich.

Just a side note -- They have baked goodies - like a pretzel or turnover - but they sell out quickly.

They also have lots of German beers to choose from if you need a refreshment to have with your lunch.

Amazing Reuben sandwich, probably the best I have ever had. Perfect harmony of pastrami, cheese and sour kraut. Staff is very friendly and knows their sandwiches well. Can't wait to come again with a cooler to grab some sausage for cooking at home.
