Mentges Master Meats — Restaurant in Taree

While generally the Taree bypass is a good thing, Mentges Master Meats makes the best kransky I’ve ever tried. So I have been making the detour from the highway to Rudi Mentges’ continental butchery every year for the last seven or eight years. While Rudi produces more than forty different continental meat products on site, the two that bring me back time and time again are the chilli cheese kransky and the cured and smoked pork kassler steaks. The quaintly decorated factory butchery is open to the public three days per week (Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays), and if you’re lucky, you’ll find Rudi in the courtyard cooking up his continental snags at his roadside barbeque for you to...

I was introduced to Mentges by my grandmother while staying with her in Taree as a young boy over christmas holidays. This was over 20 years ago, and I now live in Brisbane, but whenever I know someone is passing through Taree, I always ask them to make a stop for me. I have travelled all over Brisbane in search of smallgoods that could fill the void, but unfortunately nothing has ever come close. Rudi's sausages are by far the best thing I have ever eaten. If I could give this place a 10 star review I would. The chilli cheese and plain cheese kranskys are mouthwatering and the flavours are incredible. I have some cooking as I type this review. Thanks...
