About Carlson’s Pasty & Sausage Kitchen

Carlson’s Pasty & Sausage Kitchen is highly praised for its delicious and hearty pasties. Customers find the pasties to be much better than frozen store-bought ones, often enjoying them as two meals due to their large size. The crust is appreciated for its flavor and texture, especially when reheated in an air fryer, making leftovers taste fresh. The restaurant offers a variety of pasties, including options with or without rutabaga, though some reviewers note that the rutabaga in their pasties was not as noticeable or traditional as expected. The ground meat filling is popular with many, and the meat-to-cheese ratio is well liked.

Beyond pasties, the store also provides freshly baked, frozen, and a wide selection of sausages, including jalapeño beef sticks, which are especially popular. Visitors often drive significant distances just to enjoy the food here, citing it as their favorite in the area. The consistency of the pasties is noted as perfect—drier, but not so dry that condiments are necessary—and they cook well at home. The business is considered an important part of the local community, with parking available in front or along the side. Overall, Carlson’s Pasty & Sausage Kitchen is highly recommended for its tasty pasties and sausages, with many customers eager to return.

The crust had the flavor and texture of shoe leather, and there were more potatoes than anything else in them. GROUND MEAT makes them less appealing. At $8.50 each, I could have gone to Super One and bought at least three of their varieties for $17.00. My mom was born and raised in Chisholm. We ate homemade pasties with RECOGNIZEABLE rutabaga,...read full review

I’ve had a lot of pasties over the years between Northern Minnesota and the upper peninsula of Michigan. I have to say these are definitely my favorite. They cook great, the consistency is awesome (drier like they should be but no condiments needed). All the other locals I talked to like them too! I have gotten hooked on their jalapeño beef sticks. I want to try the others but I am too hooked on this flavor! Perfect meat to cheese ratio, nice and soft which I love (if I wanted...read full review
