We found this place on the internet, wnating some NOLA-style sausage and wanting to escape the culinary tedium that often accomanies a jaunt in the Quarter. We delighted with our find! The owners, the friendly Vaucresson family, shared stories of their three generation production and serving of sausages, such as crawfish (it's great!), green onion, chicken, and, my favorite, spicy creole. By the way, the boudin balls and onion rings were darned good too. The new deli and sausage factory is obviously new, so the place is sparkling clean and bright. Yes, we took two pounds of plister pack sausages home to Atlanta, to remember our fun discovery.Parking: Free.
Crawfish Balls were just a little salty but good and I ate them all. Its got the right amount of spice. Best gumbo that I've ever had.

My first time at Vaucressons shop since reopening. Very clean, fresh and welcoming. When you walk through the door. I went in for some sausage to take home but they also had options where they had sandwiches and hot plates available as well. When you walk in they greet you like your family and behind the counter they are actively putting fresh sausage in the casing real time to package which you can also buy fresh by the pound. Behind that they're cooking hot food to go out it's the perfect combination of smells. While You're trying to figure out what you want whether to dine in or get Hot food or sausage to go. They constantly put out samples to let you taste the different sausage options they have. I end up getting 2 lb of hot sausage and a small potato salad which was delicious by the way and the sausage was banging when you fried. It's not too greasy in the pan like pattons and the flavor is Bliss. I'll definitely return the spot

I recently visited the New Orleanians area from the DMV area to attend a Mardi Gras Brunch with my high school classmates. They were looking for alligator sausage which wasn't available at the time and decided they would try another place. I noticed the catfish po'boys on the menu and knew immediately that there was no way I was leaving without one. I had an opportunity to speak with Vance and some of the other customers. The atmosphere was first class southern hospitality all the way. I ordered one to go and came back the very next day. Vance made sure our catfish platters and catfish po'boys sandwich were served fresh off the grill. I called that going above and beyond to make sure the customer was satisfied. Thanks Vance, for taking the time to talk with us, serving us with a smile and giving us something to tell others about. If you're in the New Orleans area, planning to visit or presently visiting the area, you want to taste some down-home New Orleans style food that will make you keep coming back for more, check out Vance at Vaucresson Sausage. Tell him Sher-baby sent you. You'll be glad you did. And one more thing, you can thank me later. I am bound to be back any day now.

This is the best Creole hot sausage in New Orleans. Real meaty. They grind the whole pork shoulder, not scraps. They also have a crawfish sausage that I've never had because I'm stuck on the original sausage.Recently I bought their "Creole Pate" (also known as "head cheese ") great on crackers.
This is a phenomenal place to visit with delicious food and amazing customer service. I had chicken sausage and it was mouth watering because it didn't have fillers or any of the other ingredients so trust me I highly recommend this place.

Excellent food, service from my Home Town folks. Love it.
During our Halloween trip to New Orleans, we crafted a list of must-try local foods. After a thorough Yelp search, we stumbled upon this gem that exceeded our expectations. From the flavorful sausage sampler platter to the delightful boudin balls, it was an absolute delight. Highly recommended.
The "new" space is great, maybe a bit sparse on the decor but the food and service are great. Everyone is so friendly! You'll still see them at all the festivals - every Jazz Fest since inception! - but now you can come here for a meal, or to take home some sausages to cook. I honestly bring these sausages up to my relatives in Wisconsin - sausage capital of the U.S.! They're that good and everyone raves about the quality, texture, flavor, etc. So glad to be able to get great food from great local folks whenever you want. Try all the sauces too!
