Polish Deli

My husband was just there this morning and the space is empty without any sign in the window that they moved.

There’s a much closer Polish Deli between me and Saint Coleman’s on Federal, but this one is possibly double the size (which means, yep, double the goodies). It seems to mirror identically what the other deli carries as far as pickles, mustards and meats but I did spot a jar (heaven!) of a variety of wild mushrooms which is going to be transformed into some sort of nice thick soup or ragu once it gets chillier. I would like to return, however, to look more closely at what was in the fridge — I think they also had a pretty superior collection of herrings in both brine and cream sauce and I am a big fan of this North Sea fish.

Love the food… the polish stuffed cabbage with hot sauce!!! Must have. Also chocolate truffles and chocolate prunes.

Polish Deli is a small deli that serves up a breakfast and lunch. As expected, their food seems authentic enough with some rather good golabki (read stuffed cabbage), very tasty, has a decent ogorkowa (read cucumber) soup and of course pierogi which generally typifies polish deli cuisine. Not being Polish and never having had a meal in Poland, I’m no expert on pierogi, but found them somewhat different from those I’ve had in the Polish sections of Buffalo, New York and Erie, Pennsylvania in that the texture seemed, and I mean no offense to anyone, somewhat more akin to that of an Italian ravioli than those I’ve had in the past. Good; just different.
The dining area is out on the strip mall walk as the inside is basically counter and imported Polish market food supplies. The market area contains the usual assortment of sausages, a good selection of various cuts of jarred herring and a few not so common surprises such as canned salmon egg and cod livers.
At first blush one might think the market food item prices rather hefty, but these are all imported and I didn’t see any prices I would consider being out of line with any other Polish markets I’ve frequented.
The labels on the food items are all in Polish and myself unable to read them and even having more than problem trying to properly pronounce any word consisting of a series of consonants in a row, I had to ask and, for most of you, I might suggest that you do the same.

Love their potato and cheese perogies with sour cream (my husband likes his topped with bacon and onions). The woman who works and cooks here is very friendly. It’s a nice place to eat for lunch with both indoor and outdoor seating. Love looking at all the imported Polish candy etc. while waiting for my food.

From Chicago where the Polish delis abound. So I was pleased to kick back here with a Lomza beer and delicious meat pierogis.
Nothing fancy but great deli and comfortable outdoor seating.

Polish Deli serves breakfast and lunch here, the menu is full of authentic Polish dishes one normally doesn’t see in restaurants: golabki, nalesniki, bigos, and of course, the classic pierogi. They also have a respectable bakery case with some traditional Polish cakes (poppyseed cake, yum!) and other sweets. This is an authentic polish deli located east of 95 on Atlantic Blvd in Pompano Beach, FL. Definitely worth checking out!

Found this place while driving around. Pierogi were hand made and delicious. Polish sour cream went perfectly with the pierogi. I would say check it out.

Growing up with a Polish background, I know good Polish food and what’s authentic. So, I was excited to discover another Polish store/​deli in South Florida. Sadly, I was disappointed by the deli itself.
As a store, the selection can’t be beat. All sorts of imported Polish goodies from candy to sauces to snacks (and LOTS of candy). Prices are high, but what can you expect for imported stuff? It’s cheaper than snagging a flight to Europe and getting it there yourself. They also have a respectable bakery case with some traditional Polish cakes (poppyseed cake, yum!) and other sweets.
They serve breakfast and lunch here, and the menu is full of authentic Polish dishes one normally doesn’t see in restaurants: golabki, nalesniki, bigos, and of course, the classic pierogi. But the excitement ends here. As far as I can tell, all of these dishes are frozen and nuked in a microwave, not homemade. Not exactly what I was expecting from a place that touts itself as a homey, old-​fashioned Polish establishment. I ordered the potato and cheese pierogi and was disappointed when I received it, as it’s the exact same frozen pierogi one can buy from the freezer case in the store. What’s the point of that? If I want frozen pierogi, I’ll buy it and make it myself, thank you! Big disappointment.
Furthermore, the service left much to desired. I don’t expect much (it’s a deli and takeout, after all), but this was pretty awful. The woman behind the counter was about as helpful as syphilis, and had the personality of a thorn. She made it seem like helping us was a bother and took forever with the food. I should have known something was wrong when she kept slipping into the freezer rather than getting the food from a warming area. :(The place was desolate and the woman acted surprised that we ordered from the deli menu (I guess most people know better!) That should have been my warning, but live and learn I guess.
If you’re looking for imported Polish treats and grocery, this place is worth a visit. But for food, look elsewhere!
