Everything is polish. Good varieties. Good quality. Nice place to shop polish groceries. Polish woman cashier is beautiful ❤️ If she wouldnt be old I would have asked to marry me. I hope to come again and meet her!

Always the finest kielbasa and a wall full of other types of Polish sausage. Cheeses, canned and jarred selections, bakery and even smoked fish. If youre getting kielbasa at the big grocers, you owe it to your buds to try some if youre in the area. The difference is lean meat. No grizzle, no specks of fat. More like seasoned pulled meat reformed into a sausage casing. The flavor is excellent. You have to try it. Born into a polish family and know my polish sausage.

Went here for the first time since I still lived with my parents (which has been a few years!). It was nostalgic to go back! The food choices were great just like when I was a kiddo! Need to make sure to go back there a bit more often.

My favorite go to Polish store. Hams, sausages, cheeses are very good here and very reasonably priced. Other stuff, some of them straight from Poland bring memories of childhood favorite snacks. Hot buffet have good selection of dishes. In recent years English language of sales crew improved a lot.

My absolute favorite deli in not only Chicago, but the USA. I was born in Chicago and went there as a child and have great memories. I visit when Im in town and bring home some of the goodies only Kurowskis sells such as the polish rye breath and their Wiejiska, which is the best sausage ever. If I could give them 10 stars I would in a heart beat!

Had the most delicious flank steak of my life, picked up from here after ordering ahead of time. Perfectly marinated and packaged ready for me. We grilled it to perfection later that day, and there were audible moans of pleasure from everyone. Thank you for the delicious meat, great customer service, and excellent quality.

My wife and I live in St. Louis, MO. We come to Chicago area couple times a year for fun. We always stop at Kurowski Sausage Shop and buy enough for a few months. We stock it in our freezer. In addition, we also buy for our in-laws. We love this shop and will always stop by every time we are in town.We also enjoy eating at Red Apple Restaurant that is just down the street before we hit the road back to St. Louis. Highly recommend Kurowski Sausage Shop.

Im from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and I thought I was in Poland. This shop has everything that a Polish grocery store has in Poland. The kielbasy tastes like its made in Poland. Purchased $85 of meats here and took it back with me. I love this store.

Review №29

Sausages hanging everywhere, everyone spoke polish, a true sausage shop. We LOVED it! I cant read polish but we figured it out and the Sausage is good. Regular knockers are a little bland so get the spicy because they have a lot of flavor and not burning hot taste. The prices are good, they take care of their fellow neighbors and dont rape you with high prices. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Delicious polish mustard, I got the spicy brown and cant stop eating it. The Pickles are wonderful. I am definately going back!

Been coming here since I was a kid. The deli is great. Yeah, sometimes the produce might be on the riper side but I tend to eat what I buy within a few days of purchasing so it’s not a problem for me. Gotta support the small shops that are still left in the neighborhood!

Review №31

Came here in search of some good Polish Sausage. Even tho I am Polish, unfortunately I do not speak it. However when I asked the lady behind the counter if she spoke English she reverted from Polish to English for us. She told us what each of the sausages were, and gave us a sampling to try. Took sausages home and they were great, will definitely be returning for more!

Review №33

I thought their desserts looked nice and tried to send my bf a snap of them so he can choose which ones he wants and the woman that works in the deli area(short blond hair) said No photo in a rude way while putting her hand in front of my phone and the desserts. I asked the cashier if they had a photo policy after telling her about the other woman and she shrugged. I dont know if theyre racist or just rude but I was hoping to visit quite a bit in the future(I live in the neighborhood.) Service is important to me when shopping, so future visits are out of the question. Also, if for whatever reason there is a no photo policy, putting up a sign would be a great idea.

Excellent Polish Delicatessen and grocery store on busy Milwaukee Avenue in the Polish Village District.They dont speak English so you have to pick and point to your food. LoL !!I like the imported jars of foods and Frozen and also the pickle barrels with various pickles and another big brown barrel for sauerkraut and you have tongs and you pick them out yourself and theres another barrel of something else which I cant recall right now.Lots of desserts and 7 shelves about 12 ft long of chocolates theyre crazy for chocolates what a wide variety and I love chocolate of course Belgian chocolates are the best, but you wont be disappointed !

We drive over an hour just for this particular store. Imo best Polish Sausage around and great selection of other foods also. I dont speak any Polish, and I was taken in order as I stood. If you dont speak Polish, no worries, either an employee does, or you can have someone help you in line. Been traveling to this store for over 5 years, will keep coming back. Prices are very fair compared to prices I pay in Indiana.

The place for authentic Polish sausage and delicacies. They have a great selection and the smell of sausage will greet you as soon as you walk in. It can be a little overwhelming in choosing the right sausage however the ladies will help you and assist you. Some of workers speak English you just have to ask. When its Fat Tuesday definitely come here for the the Polish paczki. (Polish donut)

Like buying in a different country, they should put a currency exchange next door so you could buy groceries in euro(EUR) or złoty(PLN) and get the full experience. Download the Google Translate app and good luck getting what you want, but even if you wont (get what you want) - give it a shot, the chances are you might discover some authentic and unique flavors of Slavic cuisine.

If you want to survive dont eat from this market!!! I am 100% agree with all these one star reviews on here that say this polish grocery store is terrible and ALL the employees here are racist.I agree with you guys! If you are a polish customer then you will be fine, but if you are an American customer then you will receive a very bad customer service with negative and aggressive attitude along with their spoiled and expired foods.Please, beware!Under any circumstances do NOT buy their polish sausages because they taste spoiled and disgusting.This store is very dirty and Unsanitary.The large container with raw meats is standing right next to the bakery items(talking about hygiene here).The polish employees NEVER wear gloves.Absolutely ALL the employees in this polish store are rude aggressive and mean.Neither of them speaks a word in English or they pretend that they dont speak English.If you are American then please avoid this BAD polish store like a hell plague.

Review №63

A long-standing Northside deli that is well-known in the Polish community. Best to come and shop on a weeknight, as you will wait in very long lines for the deli and cashier on weekends. The different varieties of Polish sausages are Kurowskis claim to fame, but they also have fresh, barrel-aged saurkraut and pickles that you cant find in smaller places. A bit surprisingly, no hot meals to go--but theres an ample-selection of refrigerated take-and-heat soups, etc. My favorites include the extensive herbal tea selection, as well as the large section of imported cookies.

Review №64

The products they carry and make are top notch and very reasonably priced. Wonderful selection.The bad news is that none of the lables are in english. They are all polish. I have suggested se eral times they label in english as well but to no avail. Most of the staff does not speak english either so be forewarned. That being said it is more than worth a stop to check things out.

Review №98

It is located in a historic area where there were many Polish immigrants. It seems that the inhabitants have disappeared now, but it seems to be a remnant of the Polish shopping street where this shop used to be. When you enter, you can only hear Polish. It makes me feel like I have an assortment of items that I cant find anywhere else. The staff are busy, so its smoother to search for Polish Super Souvenirs in advance and decide what you want to buy. ¡
