On this week’s episode of This Is Ellijay, Eli visits Frankfurt Döner & Meats in Ball Ground, Georgia, where he tasted an incredible selection of meats and learned about Detlev and Elke Werner, the creators of this beautiful family business.
Detlev, a German-trained master butcher, spent much of his career working in the North Metro Atlanta area before finally settling in Ball Ground and opening Frankfurt Döner & Meats in 2010. They found inspiration for their business at Kubys, a German Delicatessen in the Dallas-Forth Worth area of Texas, where they worked when they first migrated to the United States.
Frankfurt Döner & Meats has built a fantastic reputation by crafting innovative gourmet sausages that are cased and smoked entirely in-house. In addition to their signature sides, their exceptional sandwiches earned them the title of the number one sandwich shop in Cherokee County. Customers can also purchase individual cuts of high-quality meat—including steaks, pork chops, and fresh ground round burgers—or enjoy seasonal specials like schnitzel and rouladen.
For those feeling adventurous, the shop features a unique array of sausage flavors like strawberry jalapeño, pineapple bacon, and their special 4×4 recipe (four peppers and four cheeses) developed for Jeep Fest. Their popular menu also boasts traditional German brats, smoked pork chops, 50/50 beef and pork hot dogs, 100% Boston butt, landjaeger (meat sticks), liverwurst pâté, and an impressive selection of over 100 different flavors of bratwurst.
To stay up to date on hours, and seasonal specials give Frankfurt Döner & Meats a follow on Facebook, and if you find yourself in Ball Ground, be sure to give them a visit!
