Krakus Deli

Just got a sampler from here, they have some hot foods you can get, like pierogies and kielbasa to go or eat at their cute homey tables. They sell polish groceries and dry meats too. Normally I like the taste of kielbasa but I can’t get a lot of it because its too greasy and fatty. This kielbasa is delicious and I dont feel bad in my belly! I never had kielbasa this good! I got kielbasa and pierogies and cabbage for 9.99. It’s enough for two people! I’ve been complaining that there’s no local good food around me for lunch and I think I just found a secret gem lol.

I have had a few kinds of their kielbasas, sausages, snacking sausages and cabbage stew at the Scotch Plains farmers market and I love the flavor of their kielbasas… I’m definitely stocking up before the end of the season (next week) for the winter… Much better taste than in the supermarkets… well worth the extra money!!!

This review is based on the only thing I purchased at the Riverdale farmers mkt. The potato-​bacon-​kraut pierogies are fantastic, stuffed to the limit the smoky bacon with the potato and kraut is perfect. Definitely will try more the next time. The kielbasa smelled wonderful, seems like a must try.

This is simply a review of their double smoked Kielbasy, it’s good but a bit bland for my
taste, could use more spices and garlic. If I lived in the area I’d shop there, nice store and nice
people.

The good: The food is great and the people are wonderful! I love stopping in here when I’m in the neighborhood for some stuffed cabbage or stew. The store section has lots of items to choose from and the smell of the deli is wonderful. If you decide to eat at one of the tables, they use fabric table cloths and the whole area has a nice ambiance to it.
The okay: I won’t hold it against the store, but parking is a little tight at times.
The bad: The only bad part, is that it’s not closer to where I live!
Wrap up: If you like food from that region of Europe, you’ll like it here. I stopped here with my mother and grandmother awhile ago, now they’ve made it one of their weekly routines to stop there. I don’t get here as often as I’d like, but I always stop in when I’m near there.

In an oasis of mostly mediocre food establishments, they are an oasis of treats.

This place is just about perfect. Best kielbasa I have ever eaten. So many other great, authentic items and home cooked dishhes. Their globki is not as good as my grandmother’s but its is really close!

I have purchased their Keilbasa and pierogies and cabbage stew all summer at the Atlantic Highlands Farmers Market. I bough a few extra of each to keep in the freezer so I could have it in the fall and winter. I just ran out today and it’s not the end of October yet!!! I have to take a trip to the store to stock up!!! I don’t even want to try any others. LOVE!

Very nice people couldn’t be more helpful.
very good food They have all my favorites .
very clean love that.

5 stars because this is the closest polish place to me. Also bigos (hunters stew) is just like how i make it. Yummy pierogies and botzek (bacon). The owners hail from a small town in northeastern poland about 20 miles from where i am from (a small village)! What are the odds that we meet in phillipsburg? They also carry all the items a polish home cannot live without. Polish magazine newspapers, spices, juices etc. i just had a long visit in poland a few weeks ago so i had my fill. As soon as i need my fill im heading over to them!

On a whim, decided to have lunch here with my 15 year-​old son (tomorrow, he goes back to school). The deli is located in a small strip mall (laundromat next door) across the street from bungalow style apartments. My husband usually gets take out from here, but today, we decided to dine in for a change. The place is divided into two sections — a large deli area, and a small dining room with about five tables. The tables are set with white table cloths, with real dishes and glassware. The dining room looks like a setting our of a movie — Old style Europe. We ordered the Kielbasa sandwich ($ 5.95), cheese and potato Pirogi ($ 3.00), and two cabbage rolls ($ 4.95). The server/​waitress all the dished into two plates, and served them with their delicious sauerkraut and mustard on the side. She also delighted us with a history of her family in Poland. She grew up in a small town with 40 people, three hours from Wausau. Lunch was leisurely and calming. Wish we had had a third person. so we could have shared more dishes. Recommended for quick escape — no visa required.

Small deli and micro restaurant serving incredibly high quality Polish dishes. Great deli case, they let you sample anything. They have the BEST pierogi I have ever found outside of Poland or any major ethnic Polish neighborhood in NY or Chicago. The mushroom ones are par excellence. They are sold by the dozen and priced on a sliding scale depending on the fillings ranging from $ 6.00 to $ 9.00 per dozen. Somebody should franchise these things.

Really good Polish food.
Limited selection
Pricey

I’m grateful to my nice Polish cleaning lady for recommending this store to me. I went just prior to Easter, wanting traditional Polish foods for the holiday — and I’m SO glad I did.
Krakus offers a home-​made dark-​skinned, low-​fat smoked kielbasa (they make it in their store) and other lighter skinned varieties purchased from Brooklyn. All of them superior to the crappy supermarket offerings.
Barbara and Svetlana, two ladies who work there, also showed me some of their other items. For example: pierogies (various types, like potato & cheese), also made in store and really delicious. And this was really exciting: they sell Russian-​style sour cream called «smetana» () — it’s not US sour cream, and not the French crème fraîche, but instead a delicious thick, slightly sour cream in its own flavor universe. Also, Svetlana makes a type of Russian potato salad called «Olivier» () and I now am grateful to have a few tubs in my refrigerator.
Off the shelf items include very spicy mustard and horseradish — two things I rarely find in local Lehigh Valley supermarkets.

I was born here in the States but still make all my own Polish food. Sometimes I don’t want to cook and let me tell you this deli is awesome! The pierogi is amazing, kielbasa and cabonossi perfect and the kapusta is also great. I live near Parsippany and get their food at the Boonton Farmer’s Market on Saturday mornings. I’ll be sad when it’s winter but have no issues traveling to their deli. One word: yummy!!!
