Go for the pierogis, and if you otherwise crave Polish foods. Skip the stuffed cabbage, it is an oversized lump of dry meat,

Being from NY I am always seeking out restaurants that are not chains and best represent the flavors of other cultures. From the moment I entered the Kielbasa Factory they made me feel at home. Though this store has a good selection of fresh polish products I opted for the cooked kielbasa special which was a huge kielbasa, sauerkraut, mustard, and two slices of bread all for only $ 7.99. If i had to describe it in one word: Delicious! I must also say based on the number of customer I saw coming and going this place is has a nice following. I even met a couple who drove 3 hours to get some polish food and beer. In short I must say if you are looking for authentic polish food or just want to try something different this is the place to go.

Longing for quality meats or Polish food that your grandma cooked? Look no further! This place has amazing sandwiches from their little deli, a good selection of meats, a huge selection of fresh Polish dishes and Polish snacks. I cannot rave enough about the fresh dishes in their fridge section. They have pierogis, galumpkies, kapusta and all the other foods my grandma and great grandma raised me on, and they are so so good. Even my grandmother was a huge fan of the treats I brought her, and she’s a hard one to please. I only wish they were closer(moved to Richmond) so I could go here constantly.

This place is great! My Mom is Polish so she recommended I go there. They have all kinds of foods & even some gift items. We bought our kielbasa for Easter from the Kielbasa Factory, the home style flavor and everyone loved it. They have wonderful desserts and candies also.

Best kielbasa I ever had! The shop personnel is very friendly, and about 2min after I entered the shop I was asked if I needed help. The two ladies were generous with handing out samples of the Kielbasa for people to taste before they bought. I got some of the fresh Kielbasa, Warsau Kielbasa, and a cabbage roll which came with a sauce. I was only hindered to buy more by the limitations of stomach and my fridge.

I have been walking(well, driving) past this place for YEARS. Now I’m kicking myself for all that lost time that I could have been using to eat delicious, delicious kielbasa. It’s nestled in the upper level of the Talbott Shopping Center. Patient and unassuming, it waits you for you to come to it, knowing that once you do, you will be together for life. From my first bite of hot kielbasa, I was hooked. Saturday pirogies are amazing too, but my first love will always be MEAT ;D. OH, and I can’t forget how nice the Polish ladies who work there are. Everytime you ask to sample some of their delicious Polish cheese or to translate some mysterious package label for you, they are nothing but thoughtful and obliging. 5⁄5 all day, everyday for Kielbasa Factory!

This place is awesome, but it is not a restaurant. It’s a polish deli(selling everything from Poland you could want) that also makes great sandwiches. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, it just means there’s no place to sit down. I got the special, which was fresh bratwurst kielbasa cooked while we waited on two thick slices of rye bread with mustard and sour kraut. Everything was delicious and the kielbasa was better than any I’d ever had with hints of sweetness to it along with the normal slightly-spicy, delicious sausage. The sour kraut was also obviously homemade and fantastic. I used it as another element of the sandwich. The people running the place are also incredibly nice. They kept offering us samples while we waited for the food to be ready. Everything we sampled was also great, including a polish version of bacon and a polish version of salami. The selection of meats was truly epic and I’ll probably be back to buy some of just that.

Seriously one of the best Kielbasa sandwiches I’ve had for a very reasonable price($ 5.99−7.99). Just walk up to the deli counter and ask for a Kielbasa sandwich and their special«fresh Kielbasa».

This place is so awesome! Their fresh sausages and variety of Polish and Eastern European meats, beers, and other foods is great! Have a grilled Kielbasa on Rye with mustard and sauerkraut right there at the counter or take some to go. Can’t beat it.

Went to buy a small sandwich and came out with bags of sausage and cheese. The ladies there are so nice and helpful. They guided me through their selections and even let me taste some of their meats. Great quality and awesome customer service.

BP and I were very excited to visit the Kielbasa Factory, even though we do not eat pork. We came in around 6:15 pm and the store was empty save for the three women running the deli and counter. We got spoiled with samples of turkey, beef, and cheese. The blond woman also paid special attention to our dietary restriction. They all had accents ;) BP and I drooled over the variety of stone-ground and specialized mustard and chocolate coated cookies, but bought KinderEggs Surprise, potato and cheese and potato and mushroom pierogies, a corned beef sandwich from the deli and a half pound of turkey breast for lunches this week. We were told to come back for Paczki(almost like a jelly filled donut) on Fridays when the store is open until 8pm and that we can call and order ahead to ensure they don’t run out. Looking forward to it!

The hubs and I were pretty excited in checking out the Kielbasa Factory. We’re both sausage fans, so we stopped by while we were in the area. A Polish & a European deli and grocery store that has been around for about 11 years, this place offers a variety of Polish sausages, hams, kielbasas, pierogies, pastries(on Fridays), chocolates, and snacks. I tried one of their specials, the ‘Fresh Kielbasa,’ which is grilled-to-order Ms. Adela, coming with a side of sauerkraut, mustard, and two slices of rye bread. While waiting for the sausage to cook, I was shown around the store by the manager, Ms. Beata, sharing her favorite drinks, snacks, and meats. We were able to sample some of the smoked meats and bacon, all cooked, but you can either cook it into a dish, dry it a bit more out in the sun, or eat it with some cheese. I also bought a bunch of their potato chip snacks, chocolates, and beverages; while the snacks were forgettable, I did enjoy some of their drinks(like the Bobo Frut’s banana grape, and the Tymbark’s cherry apple). The Kielbasa sandwich that was ordered, while fresh, was a bit undercooked(it was still kind of pink ½-way; it was a shame, as the sausage itself seemed to have a pretty good flavor, and I liked the strong mustard that it came with; the sauerkraut was a bit forgettable, and I wished it was more fresh and more crisp. The staff here are really friendly and are really excited to share their favorites; I’d love to come back and try out their pastries and the imported cheese that they have available on Fridays. Located upstairs in the Maruichi plaza, this place is pretty cool if you’re looking to try out some Polish delicacies. +Polish juices(Bobo Frut’s banana grape & Tymbark’s cherry apple) +friendly staff: D +2nd floor of the Maruichi plaza

Delightful little Polish shop located in a strip mall behind The Potomac Grill. I come here strictly for the variety of kielbasa and Czech Beer!!! There is a wonderful variety of grocery items too. The owners are wonderful, the shop is quite clean. They will even prepare sandwiches if you like. Check it out.

This place is both a small polish grocery store and sandwich shop. I came here for lunch and wasn’t disappointed. I ordered two Kielbasa sandwiches for $ 5.99 each. It was a sandwich with their polish sausage in between wheat bread, with the addition of mustard. The sandwich was overall plain but the sausage is what makes it different. Never had polish food but after taking the first bite, I can say I will go back for more. Tip: Ask for less mustard. The small grocery store section has imported polish chocolates, beer, drinks, spices, and much more! Treated myself to some chocolates($ 1.99 each). I’ll see how they actually taste though. I definitely want to come back and pick up a 6 pack of their polish beers to try($ 10.99). The service here was phenomenal. I walked in and 3 seconds later someone asked if I needed help. She translated the language on the chocolates so i knew exactly what I was purchasing and recommended which sandwiches to buy. This place is worth a try for the food if you’re on a budget or want something new to try. If not you can always pick up some random chocolates or groceries.

Kielbasa Factory gets 5 stars for the best kielbasa and Polish food. I was able to pick up a ‘Warsaw’ kielbasa with cracked pepper and garlic for Easter. It was very delicious with some horseradish mustard. The girl behind the counter was very nice and they had samples so you could chose which one you liked the best. They were all out of babka bread but that was my fault for shopping so late for the holiday. See you next Easter Kielbasa factory.

This is a great little Polish market in a strip mall in Rockville. They have tons of varieties of pierogies and other traditional Polish dishes. My husband had just returned from Poland when we went here, and he found a lot of little delicacies he had tried while there– they definitely have the authentic goods. We also tried some sausages while we were there. You can get sandwiches there and they also have bulk sausages to buy and cook at home. We did both. All of the sausages we cooked at home were great(we got such a variety that I do not know all of the names). But I do know, nothing disappointed. The sandwich we had there was keilbasa– served very traditionally with mustard on a piece of white bread. It may not sound like much, but do yourself a favor and grab one of these babies for lunch one day. So simple, yet so good. My husband says it is the best he has had outside of Poland.

I am glad I learned about the Kielbasa Factory and discovered this Polish and European deli! It really has a nice selection of everything Polish — including all types of pierogi, kielbasa sausages, deli meats, stuffed cabbage, mushrooms, dried soup mixes, sweets, and homemade Polish doughnuts(Paczki). Apparently, on Fridays, they stock fresh pierogi! So many varieties. I tried a savory pierogi — sauerkraut and mushroom — and also a sweet pierogi — filled with cherry and farmers cheese. Both very good. Tasted homemade. They stock many imported items from Europe and Poland in particular. I was impressed with the variety of chocolates(including bars and a selection of gift boxes of chocolate covered cherries!) and even Polish Nutella(European Nutella is made with vegetable oil instead of the variety imported for America, made with palm oil). I will be back. Great spot to find imported European items at reasonable prices, plus the Polish ladies running this place are so helpful and welcoming!

The ladies that work are very welcoming and if you let them know it’s your first time there, they will tell you about all their offerings. The most important thing to note is that the Kielbasa Factory is not a restaurant/sit-down deli. You purchase your goods/food and then be on your way. I tried their kielbasa sandwich with mustard no kraut and a cherry cheese danish. The sandwich was good and went well with the grain mustard. I thought the casing on the kielbasa was a little chewy, but it’s likely just me… The danish was as big as my face. It wasn’t anything outstanding, but I’m a sucker for any kind of pastry. You can purchase coffee, freshly made sausages, pierogies, tchochkes, and other various dry goods here. If you’re in the area and are craving some kielbasa that’s not Pepperidge Farms, this is the best place to go.

A few old school commercials: «Would you like a giant Kielbasa stuck in between two slices of bread with mustard and kraut for a ridiculously cheap sum of money. Like seriously! We’re talking 5 dollars. When’s the last time you got lunch for 5 bucks. And no, we don’t consider Subway food! Come on down to Rockville and welcome to the Kielbasa Factory.» Also, «Do you have a hard time finding all of your favorite Polish staples? Like handmade pirogies, fresh Kielbasas, and more! Soup mixes, Polish extracts, Polish candies! The list never ends! Hop on down to the Kielbasa Factory» or «Do you go shopping for Polish Groceries and have a hard time understanding what everything means?! *Confused woman with her hands in the air* ‘Oh no! Not again!‘ Well, don’t worry! The folks at Kielbasa Factory will explain it all for you! You got questions? They got answers! Pop on down to the best Polish shop in Rockville!»

Let’s be honest, most European markets smell bad, they’re rude, and based on the layer of dust you have no idea how long the merchandise has been sitting around. NOTSO with the Kielbasa Factory! This place is friendly, clean, well stocked and organized. I sampled several different sausages, bought some beer, mustard and a fantastically cheap grilled kielbasa sandwich. The sausage had a hot smoky taste and was delicious. This will be my go-to place to stock up on sausage, pierogies and on-the go sandwiches. Give it a try.
