Romanian Kosher Sausage Company

Rogers Park · Kosher Deli/Butcher Community-sourced, unverified

📍 7200 N Clark St, Chicago, IL 60626

Romanian Kosher Sausage Company has been on this same Clark Street corner in Rogers Park since 1957, which makes it one of the last kosher butcher shops still standing in a city where that category has thinned out considerably.

Housemade salami, pastrami, and corned beef cut from whole slaughterhouse animals, plus chopped liver called among the city's best — from one of Chicago's last kosher butcher shops, running since 1957.

The operation is genuinely vertically integrated in a way most delis aren't — the shop buys directly from the slaughterhouse and bones the meat itself in-house, rather than ordering pre-cut product, which is how it ends up turning out its own bologna, salami, pastrami, and corned beef, plus Polish, breakfast, and regular hot dogs, all strictly kosher and entirely pork-free. Hard and soft salamis hanging from the back wall have become something of a visual signature of the place, the kind of detail regulars mention before they mention the actual food. The chopped liver gets singled out specifically in coverage as among the best in the city, which is a real claim in a town with real competition for that title.

The brand's reach extends beyond the storefront too — Romanian-branded hot dogs and Polish sausages were served at a kosher concession stand that opened at Wrigley Field in 2017, making the Cubs' ballpark the 13th in Major League Baseball to offer kosher food, a genuine piece of only-in-Chicago trivia tied directly back to this shop's name. Current hours and even current operating status couldn't be freshly confirmed in research beyond a 2021 roundup and a Yellow Pages 'years in business' count that lines up with the 1957 founding — no closure was found anywhere, but call ahead before making a special trip, since recent, dated confirmation is genuinely thin for a shop this under-the-radar.
