They have a pretty good selection of groceries. They also have a deli and hot foods. I bought some very delicious soups. My favorite was the borscht. It was really delicious. The label didn’t mention meat, just spices and veggies but it had chunks of beef in it. This is obviously important for those who don’t eat meat. I enjoyed it immensely. Overall, it’s a nice little store.

This is my favorite Polish store in Chicago. The selection of Polish products is incredible. Their deli meats are yummy, their pre-cooked dinners are great for an instant dinner. The turnover rate on their products is so fast that most of food gets sold the day it is placed on the shelf. Avoid rush hour 5pm-8pm if you don’t want to stuck in long line.

Went in here with a co-worker who happens to be of Polish descent and also speaks the language, which I do not. I thought the young man who waited on me at the deli was being nice — I had questions about the different kinds of sausage. However, after we left, my co-worker informed me that the young man and his co-worker were making fun of me and saying some really rude things. Really? Doesn’t the money I spend here pay your salaries? Well, never again. There are a ton of Polish Delis in the Chicago area. Besides, this place was over-crowded with merchandise and had a strange lay-out for a store. Thanks — but NOTHANKS :(

I went in here to get this special sausage… tarnowska sausage. The sausage is great. I love it. However, I am not polish. I started asking about other things and the guys behind the deli counter started laughing at me. I felt like an idiot. It really, really pisses me off when you try to patronize a place for the first time, don’t speak the language, and you get laughed at. To top it off, they start speaking in polish in front of me, clearly about me, then ask if I want anything else. It is too bad. I really like what I bought and will think twice about going there again to try new things. The owners really need to sit down with these immature boys and talk to them.

Wow… I stopped in here yesterday for the first time and it’s Fat Girl Heaven! The delicious smells knock you out the minute you walk in the door. I didn’t even know where to start. It’s not a huge place and it’s not a big grocery store or anything. I would say it’s a combination of Andy’s Deli on Milwaukee and Rich’s Food & Liquor on Harlem & Gunnison. I got some of the hot prepared food(chicken cutlets, cabbage rolls, and pierogi) and all of it was EXCELLENT. I also got a loaf of fresh bakery bread that I ate almost the whole thing because it was quite possibly the best bread I’ve ever had in my life. This is a great place to stop on your way home from work and pick up a delicious hot dinner. Everything is super fresh and homemade. The store is immaculately clean and all the employees are really friendly. If you don’t speak Polish, no problem… they all speak English! I spent $ 15 and got cabbage rolls, pierogi, chicken cutlets, bread, and paczkis, enough for 3 people to eat. You can’t beat those prices for fresh delicious food!

It’s a European grocery store with some great prices. I didn’t know what anything was in the meat department so I asked the girl behind the counter what she recommended(they speak English no problem). She choose a couple things and I just asked for ½ lb of one. Rather than just giving it to me– she gave me samples of them to try to ensure I would like what I was buying. That was awesome– and let me tell you, I didn’t know what deli meat should taste like till now. Eastern Europeans know their meat. I highly recommend the sandwich ham(aka named ‘Szynka Kanapkowa’) for $ 4.29/lb. I also bought some cheese & bread. ½ lb of cheese for about $ 2.00– yes please. They also had a ton of rye bread varieties, which is my favorite. It is that perfect old school style bread — great crisp & flakey crust and nice and soft in the middle. Plus, the one I bought only had 4 ingredients, like real break should have. Perfection. I noticed the bakery section, and while I did not actually buy anything, it was very difficult to walk away without doing so. You can tell that everything was made with love in-store by real people and not manufactured at some plant. Oh and I almost forgot– avocados in November for $ 0.79– when was the last time you saw avocados in the Chicago area under $ 1.50 a pop?!

Mówimy Po Polsku? This is a cool little Polish grocery store. Appears it opened very recently and was totally packed with shoppers during my visit. They carry all the typical Euro grocery items, not limited to Polish goods. The meat counter is impressive, runs almost the entire length of the store — it drew most of the crowd; sausage groupies. Also offer a nice selection of bread, baked goods, and traditional prepared foods. You can peek at their website; it’s only in Polish! The other Deli 4 You location was panned by many Unilocalers due to poor or rude service. It seems many Eastern European shop employees are famously rude because they are from.. . Eastern Europe! Generally that is the way they are used to conducting business, afraid it’s an imported habit. The reviews of most Eastern Euro businesses contain similar comments of «rude» «unhelpful» and«snarky»(not really, I just like that word). My visit to this location was quite pleasant. I don’t speak Polish and definitely look like an outsider, but everyone was very friendly and helpful. I encountered other curious non-Polish shoppers from the neighborhood having a look around as well. Most of the employees I saw were very young and are likely used to the Western standard of customer service. Perhaps that will create a kinder gentler Deli4You.
