Hickory Smoked Sausage Links

These sausages were magical. They made my orifices water as I consumed that at an ungodly rate swallowing quicker than a vacuum. One day I hope to become dictator of the world so I may make this the national food for all! Very delicious Edward's virginia smokehouse! I applaud you! SAUSAGE 4 LYFE! I am no longer straight!

Purchased the 5-lb. box and I thought, man that's a lot of sausage. But hubby has been very happy with the purchase. The first time he fixed them, he overcooked them, but now he has learned how to prepare them. They do come in a string of links, and you have to cut to separate them. Not a problem, he just didn't know ahead of time they would be like that.

I've been a huge fan of all of Edwards products since first being exposed to them several years ago while being stationed in Virginia with the U.S. Coast Guard. While all of the products are of the highest quality and taste the smoked sausage is the thing that really blew me away. Growing up some of my best memories was spending the coldest days of the winter making smoked sausage with my grandfather. For years he had supplemented his income by making small batch's of smoked sausage, selling to his friends and neighbors. He gained a notable reputation for making the best smoked sausage around, and was often courted to expand his operation. I joined the Coast Guard and moved away, and he passed away not long after. While he tried to impart his knowledge and wisdom of the sausage making process on all of his family including me, it just didn't compare. I searched for and tried all different kinds of smoked sausage in the following years, all ending in disappointment. Nothing was even close. That is until I tried Edwards Surry Smoked Sausage. Wow! From the time they started frying in the pan I knew I had found something special. The taste, was exactly like that of my Papa's. I was overjoyed and immediately called back home to tell everyone, as well as sending them a sampling. While in Virginia I would make many trips on the Jamestown Ferry across to Surry just for sausage. If you're considering buying some of these do yourself a favor and order more than you planned. They are that good, and that's coming from someone who knows what they are talking about.

I put them on my flat top griddle, cover with a lid and shoot some water under them to steam. Excellent product.

I am from Hampton, VA and I use to get this sausage at a small family store that is no longer is in business. I remembered the name and was thrilled to find it on-line. The flavor is still as delicious as I remember! I love that it is not spicy. Everyone does not like spicy food!!! Especially when you have kids. I almost wish it was in the major grocery stores, but like that it not so wide spread because I am afraid the quality will go down. I will continue to order each year!

I have been buying this smoked sausage from Edwards for 20 plus years and it is absolutely some of the best sausage on the planet ! You are missing out if you have never tried it !

The best I've ever had.

As a child back in the 1950s and 60s, I used to go to a convenience store in the small town in SC where I lived that sold sausage dogs from smike sausage that was made locally. That convenience store and the meat market that made the sausage have long been out of business. As an adult, I craved those sausage dogs. On various trips whenever I would see a sign out for a place that sells sausage dogs, I would often stop and try them and always disappointed because it didn't taste as good as what that sausage dog did as a child. About 25 years ago when visiting the Williamsburg area, we took a ferry across the James River heading home, landing near Surry, Va. Saw your store, went in, and bought some of your smoked sausage and was absolutely delighted as I finally found the taste that I was looking for. I have continued to order from you every year since. Though there was a number of years where Fresh Market carried your product in their store, and I just bought from them. So glad you're still in business and making those yummy smoked sausages!

I originally purchased the sampler on a whim. Glad I did because I'm ordering more of the hickory smoked sausages. I'm a senior and haven't tasted such delicious sausages since I was a child visiting state country fairs. They are moist and very well seasoned; will go with anything!

Love all your products and glad we can order online!

I am from the Hampton Roads area and am living in Charlotte, NC. Each and every time I go home I stop by here and pick up something. LoL. I have even sent their great food to my brother in Phoenix. Edwards products are simply put ... "Home Food Comfort Food!"

In my opinion, these are hands-down the most delicious pork sausages available anywhere. They have a real "snap" to them that compliments the whole experience and the flavor profile is just a wee bit peppery with a truly perfect balance of smoky, salty, Southern nostalgia. I honestly can not say enough good things about this sausage. Support this amazing old time company, won't you. They suffered a catastrophic loss in early 2016 and still have not been paid out on their insurance claim. It is only through love, hard work, determination and the help of other area producers that they have been able to save this third generation family business. If these endangered culinary treasures disappear, we will never again be able to taste these amazing heritage foods.

First had these sausages at Berret's Seafood Restaurant in Williamsburg, VA for brunch. Have been buying these for over 10 years. They are scrumptious-the very best smoked sausages!

I just a package of your sausage and put it in the freezer when it arrived. I did take one out to try to see if it was as good as advertised. And yes, it very as advertised. Very good.

These are very good sausage links with a great flavor! I've been buying these for two years or more and placing another order after this review.
