Open seven days a week, Rosamunde Sausage Grill is the place to go for a scrumptious (but affordable) bratwurst or sausage, with unique flavors like Chicken Cherry and Chicken Habenero Smoked in Tequila. On a recent visit, we waited in a 30 minute line to get our hands on their amazing gourmet burgers (just $8) for Cheeseburger Tuesday. Whether you're a plain Jane or prefer all the fixings, this is definitely the place to be on a Tuesday afternoon. While the inside of this sausage kingdom is comfortable and quaint, there is limited seating (only 8 bar seats). Head next door to Toronado for a drink while you wait for your order.
