Bacon(teperte), sausage, kielbasa loaf, walnut cake(esterhazy torte), bacon biscuit (pogace), black currant and sour cherry syrup, vanilla sugar, bread, more sausage...I have been coming here for years. I have been sick for the last 2 years and now I am feeling better so I stopped by and bought my favorites again. Fresh food and great ingredients! read more

The sausage house is one of the kind in Tampa Bay Area. Their specialty includes Hungarian, German and Polish sausage. Base on their introduction, I think they are Hungarian more. Their store is located in the Safety Harbor next to the park. The best seller is their specialty smoke sausage. It come with non spicy and spicy. We got a link. It was delicious. We also got blood tongue and head cheek slice ham. I recommend the spicy head cheek ham. We also got some veal loaf and special fried bacon. The cold cut we got good for champagne and wine. If you happen to have picnic, you get some cold cut here. read more

This is the first Polish butcher that brought back my childhood First excitement Fresh Sausage, not smoked Don't get me wrong I love the smoked stuff and did buy quite a bit. Fresh sausage is hard to find and first time I scored The man in the shop reminds me of my late grandfather when I was a child / demeanor and looks They fill your order with pride and you wait a little if somebody has a big order in front of you but they get it right and don't rush Nut roll is actually better than my Grams shhh I found some childhood for my retirement!! They also have Hungarian also Soooo Gooood read more

The bakery goods are stale and over priced. Will not shop again,,,,, I grew up with a great grandma who baked Hungarian food and baked goods they were wnderful!,,,,,,,,! read more

This was a good find. If you like European food, you'll really like this place. The sausages I purchased were fresh and very tasty.

Excellent smoked meats. Very friendly service. The quality makes a huge difference in your food. I buy their ham hocks for a bean soup. Once I tried ham hocks from the grocery store , Very disappointing. So do yourselves a favor and get the good stuff. This place helps to make Safety Harbor such a great town. read more

My bf found this place online and we had been trying to make it there and we finally got to go this week. They were super friendly and helpful. The sausages and pastry was really good! Next door is their daughter's store also super cute! Their hours are a lil out of norm and they're not on the main st. But it is definitely worth the special trip! read more

Ever since I tasted their sausages in a friend's Oktoberfest party, I have always wanted to visit this place. Finally, we made the trip. This is such a unique, one-of-a-kind shop. Owner was so friendly, he let us try a piece and then we decided how much to buy. We like spicy food. So, we got almost a pound of the spicy cold cut. And then we saw blood and tongue cold cut. That was the item we had when traveled in Germany and never saw anybody sell it here in Tampa Bay till this visit. I felt like finding a treasure. So we got some of them. The fry bacon was also good. Got a smoke spicy sausage and veal load. I kept the cool cut, sausage in the fridge as a late-night snack, or make them a sandwich. They were so delicious. They reminded me the good time when traveling Europe. I'm glad we can buy them in Safety Harbor instead of flying over the Atlantic Ocean. This shop is truly a hidden gem. read more

We struggle to find a decent Andouille around here. Getting the usual suspects from the grocery store is extremely average. We do a lot of Cajun cooking. Having the right Andouille is important for gumbo and jambalaya. I knew we had a sausage maker in town, actually only a 18 minute walk from my house. I stopped in to get some. The sausage they sell here is simply spicy sausage with 3 different heat levels. If you ask for Andouille , they may not understand. I chose the medium. Cooked a piece up to see how good it would be. We have a winner ! It will grease enough for the roux , the flavor is very good. It's not 100% what you'd get from New Orleans , but it's a million times better than your supermarket variety. read more

I stopped by today while in the neighborhood and I am glad I did. This is a small mom and pop style Hungarian butcher shop. It looks like they produce a majority of the meat products in house. They have a nice selection of fresh sausage, smoked sausage, liver sausage, lunch meats, and smoked pork. I tried a few of their fresh and smoked sausages and couldn't be happier. The lady that helped me was very friendly. I will definitely be back again soon. read more

Local gem!! I wish I had found this German sausage house earlier...it appears to be family run with what I assume are recipes passed down from generation to generation. I took home each type of fresh sausage and all three were fantastic- the fried bacon stole the show though...it sells out fast, but I think you can cal and reserve it. They also sell hot meals, I haven't tried any, but they look amazing! read more

ordered hurka and headcheese was wonderful wish they were closer package came quickly well sealed also orderd some smoked bacon just like i remembered as a child read more

This is a Hungarian based shop. Excellent place to purchase Hungarian made foods. Excellent paprikas, fried bacon, and many other prepared foods. Open Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. You would not be disappointed by anything purchased from this store. Their cabbage rolls are to die for. Can't say enough about this store. read more

High quality genuine Hungarian food served with genuine friendliness. Very highly recommended!

Absolutely impressed. I have been looking for REAL Hungarian Kolbasz and Szalami for years. This is as authentic as it gets. The makos Beigli was amazing! So happy I found this business! read more

Have been going to this place for years. All is made fresh in house. Their sausages are the best and the smoked bacon is a must!

Delicious! Just like my Grandma used to make!! Poppyseed and Nut Roll are fabulous!!

A hidden little shop with wonderful deli items and food items from Hungary. A little tricky to find, but definitely worth the effort!

Great hand made specialty sausages and cold cuts and pastries. My better half has been coming here for sausages for years. Very accommodating and home made meats. worth the drive read more

Amazing out of the way spot for quality cured meats with a European vibe. A guaranteed stop every time I'm in town.

Before you even enter this place you can smell the smokey goodness that awaits you inside and once inside you are greeted by some absolutely lovely ladies that can answer any question you might throw at them. They have a plethora of smoked meats from cold sausages to naw on while you are driving home to ones that you would want to grill like keilbasa which they have four different types, smoked, fresh and polish or Hungarian of those two. Got a few of each and although all were great the fresh was awesome. They also have a few specialty entrees, baked goods and canned goods. One of the main reasons I will be back often is their deli of smoked meats, real liverwurst and my absolute favorite / hard to find head cheese! If you don't think you'll like it give it a shot, just don't think about the ingredients! read more

First Quality Sausage House - Butcher Near Me - Safety Harbor, Florida

I definitely enjoyed the homemade Hungarian sausages, my dad was from Hungary so the experience was quite special. I took the dry sausages to California for my son's graduation from Stanford University. We all loved the sausages, I served the sausages as an appetizer. read more

Great selection of quality sausages! We tried several sausages and they were all very good. We would visit again if we are in the area.

I think we are lucky to have a small, authentic Hungarian sausage making house in our neighborhood. Plus, beyond the sausage, salami, and cured meats, they have homemade twice smoked **bacon**. I just fried up a few pieces. Mmm. Bacon. Good. read more

Excellent choice is meats you cannot find in the US. It's a little taste of Europe right here in Dunedin Fl

This shop makes all its own meat products. I got some smoked pork loin slices, some hot dogs, some mild sausage, and some fried bacon. I got tastes before purchasing. The counter workers were very helpful. The array of products is overwhelming. I will be going back. My friend who is Lithuanian got some sausage that she missed from home. There are also shelves of canned goods to choose from and some baked goods. read more

To me, that taste of my favorite dish in those childhood years never fades in memory. Fresh eggs scrambled and stir fry with chopped European cured meat. Throw in few pieces of chili pepper and scallions, I transformed myself into the best behaved child in the world. A dish to devour. Memory lingers, but the taste of that flavor has long gone along with many things back at homeland. The ultimate sacrifices the average folks contributes to the fast growing economy in China. Oh....the true meaning of revolution. Yelp took me to this tiny family run deli shop on 9th Ave. N at Safety Harbor. The first impression is a plain warehouse not far from the railway, decorated with bunch foreign flags and a closed red door. 'Open' lights is on. I hesitated. Why am I here? Inside, something that is familiar stared me back. Above my head, a television plays in foreign language broadcasting the unrest of Ukraine. Oh... another revolution in brewing. In front of me are homemade sausages, meat products in all color and shapes pile inside the only display cooler in this tiny shop. Behind the cooler, a young man with distinguish East European face greets me in English with a strong ascent. I really don't have a clue what to buy. I am alike a stranger stumbled into someones home looking for help. I stared at the meat and picked 'Frankfurter', 'Wurst' and 'Beef Bologna'. Those were the only words I recognized. The young man was very patient. He sliced a piece of Bologna for me to try. It is such a clean taste not like those I usually buy at supermarket that taste like something unnatural. The bologna from this tiny shop blessed with a familiar taste. I was sold. Meat was packed separately in white paper with price hand written on it. I paid $ 13.56 with credit card and stumbled out the shop. I left behind a strange impression I believe. I did look like I was lost. By now, you can guess what is on my dinner plate. Eggs scrambled and stir fry with chopped European cured meat. Throw in few pieces of chili pepper and scallions, I devoured. Hubby looked at me and the plate. 'You, Woman, you just wasted a good piece of meat. Why don't you grill it? Oh.... you Americans! Support the local business. read more

They have the best sausage hands down! Way better than anything you'll find in the grocery store. One of a kind taste, you have to try it! Hungarian style. read more

The second you walk in here and smell the place you know you're in for some good stuff. All of it is great. I'm not a fan of real spicy meats so if you're into that, they have great stuff. But they do have a lot that I like too. Try their fried bacon. Awesome. read more

In Florida, finding a butcher shop is fantastic and reminds us what we gave up by choosing a grocery mega chain. The sausage I had at a local restaurant Green Spring in Safety harbor was made here and I had to come check it out. First generation new americans bringing awesome flavor from Central/Eastern Europe. I had a sandwich, she was so nice and had a ton of work to do to get ready for a festival, she took a couple minutes from her work to explain the sausages. I look forward to bringing some home with me every business trip! read more

I love this place. They have a lot of my favorite Hungarian food, cold cuts, groceries, seasonings, sausages, sweets and a lot more. You can also get some frozen dinners home if you want to take a day off from cooking but still surprise your family with some delicious home made food. You can also order what they have in the store and will ship it to you if you are out of states. If you are in the area you must come by and check them out. read more

What a gem in charming Safety Harbor! I've been several times now and have tried many of the items. We are lucky to have such an authentic sausage artist in Pinellas County. My favorite item, by far is the hungarian sausage. Ask for two links of Kolbas, non smoked, pan fry them with a little olive oil and a tablespoon of water for 15-18 minutes. No longer than 18 minutes! They may seem not all the way done as the appearance will kinda look that way, but trust me they're done. Now cut a slice and enjoy the juicy garlicky goodness, You can thank me later lol Why not 5 stars? The hours are well, let's just say "challenging" and I have had a couple of items that I did not enjoy. One is the bacon. I found it to be tough. The other is the frankfurters. The skin and texture are just not to my liking. Just my personal taste, as you can see I'm in the minority on the bacon thing! Go get a few links of Kolba's next Saturday morning and I guarantee you will wish you bought more! read more

I'm trying new recipes and wanted some blood sausage, this was the first business to come up in my search. I was not disappointed. This is a quaint little store, you can tell the sausage is fresh, because you can see them making them. I was greeted when I first walked in and then was allowed some time to decide. I hate when the employees stare you down, i like to see all my options before I buy and I appreciated that I was given the time. They had the sausage I wanted and a few more that I will have to go back and try. I also got some Italian salami, which is excellent. Overall, I was really pleased with the shop. I can not wait to go back and try some different sausages. read more

Amazing place and fantastic customer service. Aniko goes above and beyond for all her customers. She makes sure that we receive the best and most authentic Hungarian food. She serves, take out only, hot dishes such as chicken paprikas, as well as all of the ingredients for a home cooked Hungarian meal. I have been buying my traditional foods from the First Quality Sausage House for years. I live in Buffalo New York and they ship whatever I need. Wonderful caring people and the quality of the sausages, the hot meals and the pastries is the best. My favorites are their stuffed cabbage and stuffed peppers. They also ship all of my Christmas sausages, rice sausages "hurka" and strudels. Love this place! read more

Aniko Rakoczi and her staff has resurrected the genuine deli flavors of Hungary. As a native son of Hungary, I have found a pleasant atmosphere of Hungarian aromas in her establishment, along with my native tongue being spoken by a pretty lady from Debrecen. There is a selection of meat products, that any delicatessen in Hungary would be be proud of. You will also find a variety of imported items on her shelves. Her establishment to us, x-patriots, is a diamond in the rough, and I hope that she will see fit to continue to conduct business for a prolonged period of time, and she can count me among ardent supporters.

Better then I've remember it was in Hungary!!! Thank you Aniko!!! Tomorrow I feed all my friends and family! And I know they will have the best meal they had in ling time!!!:-) read more

So I finally had the chance to try some fresh sausage from this shop. First Quality only scratches the surface when describing their meats. Exceptional Quality might have been more accurate. We sliced and cooked up a smoked Polish sausage with some onions and fresh mushrooms topped off with scrambled egg. Guess what the star of the dish was? The Sausage. Its flavors came through without overpowering the dish. Can't wait to try the Hungarian sausage next. 5stars only because there wasn't anymore to give! read more

What a wonderful find!! Best sausage shop in Florida period. Everything was completely fresh and made from scratch and they let you try everything in the store to educate your palate. The naturally smoked and fried bacon is the jewel of this place and will keep you coming back for more. We make it a stop every time we're back in Florida!! read more
