How we ranked these

We ranked each place on how well it shows off reindeer sausage (a signature dish rather than a side), then on how easy it is for a visitor to get: location, hours and whether a price is published. Every dish comes from the place’s own menu or site, except Gwennie’s, which has no menu online, so we used Alaska Magazine. Facts are taken from each maker's own published information; check the official site before you buy.
