love this local, almost hole in the wall spot in first hill! they are always so kind and welcoming, sometimes offering samples to try of the meat in their case! they have a big menu of different sandwiches, and you can even choose to build your own, and i think all for under $15! and they are really quite generous with their toppings! dont sleep on their pierogies either, theyre quite delicious! i think you can also order meats by the pound if you wanted to make sandwiches at home! they also have walls of polish goodies, pickles, sauces, dry goods, cookies, snacks. there's so much to look at while you wait for your sandwich. read more

Love this place! Bought kielbasa, potato salad, reuben sandwich, and was even lucky enough to snag a paczki! The warmth of service here, down to the details in this deli, bring me back to the East coast when I'd visit Polish deli's and feel so authentically Polish American. Very popular during lunch hour too, especially for the sandwiches! The reuben is very rich and not bad, but is a crowd favorite. I highly recommend microwaving the paczki too. The exterior was nicely fried, and inside was fluffy but had settled a bit by the time I reached it. I absolutely loved the potato salad and kielbasa. Threw the kielbasa into a stew, and it brought out so many rich flavors and cooked very nicely. The potato salad was probably one of the best I've had - it had an addictively perfect balance of creamy and tangy, and just the right amount of seasoning. read more

Walked over from Swedish to George's for a lunch on a rainy day. Ordered ahead online and the sandwiches were ready on time. The deli was buzzing with lots of customers. I got the George's special and enjoyed it. Also tried the BLT and I liked it more honestly. Hope to come back in the future! read more

This place is sooo good! I got the mushroom sauerkraut pierogi with kielbasa coins and *chef's kiss*. The pierogi were pillowy and came with some great fried onions. Kielbasa was savory and had a nice crisp. The shop around the deli was fun as well. Definitely not to be missed for the pierogi lover! read more

George’s Polish Deli - Cool sign! - Sandwiches Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Great little deli with a variety of polish delicacies. It's very small so when the 5 of us ordered and moved to the left to order another group of 5 arrived and it felt a little crowded. I'm sure two more groups of 5 people could have fit in there fine, but it would have been a tight fit. Anyways, I ordered a BLT with extra bacon and extra mayo. It was AMAZING. So good. I definitely want to try a different sandwich the next time I come back, but the BLT was very good. read more

While walking back from the Frye Museum, we stumbled upon this Polish-style deli. It was packed with people waiting outside so we decided to go and check it out. When you walk inside, you see all the deli meats and a ton of unique snacks, mainly imported from Europe. I enjoyed a nice sandwich from here. It took a while since it is made when you order but it was delicious! Walked and ate it and by the time we walked back to the hotel it was already gone. read more

This place deserves 5 stars. My coworkers at the hospital told me to try this place because you can order ahead and pickup during your lunch break, but guess what? I never did. I've been missing out! I'm back home now and tried it while moving my friend into his downtown apartment. We were both amazed! Taste buds just bursted with flavors! We ordered the turkey sandwich (cold), chicken (warm), Rueben (warm), pastrami on rye (warm), sausage (warm) and all were incredible! I don't even think I could rank them because they were evenly delicious and you should do yourself a favor and try each one. My friends favorite is the pastrami. But get this. We ordered it for lunch and it was so good we ordered it for lunch again the next day. That should speak for itself. The service was decently quick, with us ordering ahead via DoorDash. The workers were friendly. The location isn't conveniently located to parking, but it's worth it. Also, they had a small market so I'd be back to check that out as well. read more

I love that I could order online. The order was ready in about 15 minutes, I got there right at my pick up time and my sandwich was just being wrapped. Loved this option. The girls were friendly and welcoming even though I was only there a few seconds. The sandwich was delicious. Great spot for a sandwich. read more

Solid European supermarket and delicatessen, with a wide variety of items. Clean and well organized shop. Pricing is fair. Service was efficient, and the person filling my order for cold cuts was knowledgeable. I ordered two types of liverwurst: Braunschweiger and a liver pate. The. Braunschweiger was lightly smoked (often this is overdone), and the pate was good but could have been more strongly spiced. The ham was juicy and flavorful. The rolled roast filled with veal was delicious and definitely worth a second trip. read more

Amazing food & sandwiches! I've gone here for lunch for over a year and each time the customer service is amazing and the team makes you feel welcome. I've gotten a bit more adventurous with the food I get. Instead of sticking to the usual George's special I've changed it up and tried more sandwiches and soups. My regret is not changing it up sooner to try everything. Today I tried the Headcheese sandwich which has a delicious kick to it. It paired nicely with the chicken and barley soup. And Jasmine and Mira are always kind to the customers. read more

Oh my goodness this is an absolute hidden gem. I just happened to walk by on my way to an appointment and decided to stop in for a deli sandwich. It was around 10:30am on a Friday morning so I didn't expect it to be too busy. But when I went inside, it's a rather small store, it was filled with people. The cashier was super nice and was explaining that it's an important Polish holiday where they have to make sandwiches so it would be extremely busy all day. I ordered a BLT, the reason I went in there, but also saw they made pierogis. It was so exciting I had to order some and it did not disappoint. I had the cheese and potato flavor. I will absolutely make it a necessity to come back here next time I'm in Seattle! Even eating the BLT, it was one of the best deli sandwiches I've ever had. Something so simple but all the ingredients were fresh and it was amazing. I also bought some Polish chocolates that were also really good! Hands down I will return. Also you MUST try the pierogis. read more

Oooh Georges :,) such a beautiful gem, sparkling and full of possibilities. They have an endless supply of so many jams, preserves, pickled vegetables, dry goods, candies, and dont even get me started on the sandwiches! Always loaded up and delicious, the krolewski cheese is a must, and the Krowki Milanowskie are always a necessary treat when stopping at Georges. The staff are always friendly and happy to help you pick exactly what tickles your fancy :) i highly recommend Georges Polish Delicatessen to anyone and everyone! read more

The Smokey smell was what drew me in, the amazing customer service kept me there and oh my YUM! The soup was so flavorful and comforting. The warm pastrami sandwich was heavenly. I would go every week if I could. Can't wait to try the kielbasa I'm taking home. Thank you George's Polish Deli! read more

Great food. The sandwiches and soups are delicious. Service is good but the space is pretty small.

Best pierogies I've ever had. We couldn't help pick up fresh made sausages and a Reuben while we were there. They also have an awesome selection of polish sweets! We have to go back to try it all! read more

This is a classic Polish deli. The Reuben and Polish sausage sandwiches are good, but it's the pierogi I can't stop thinking about. Just like grandma's! They were cooked perfectly, with fried onions and some sour cream. As well as selling sausages, kielbasa, and meals to go, they also have a tiny grocery store worth of imported Polish items. read more

Small little deli that you would miss if he's didn't look twice. I've heard many things about the sandwiches here and people rave about them. Finally got to try a chicken Panini sandwich and it was way larger than I expected. Every bit of it was cooked really well and flavorful. I also tried the potato and cheese pierogies, which honestly are the star of the show and I wish I didn't have to share my order with someone else! They're super quick to get your order ready and really good service. They also have International snacks and chocolates in store, which is neat. I'm gonna return the Rueben, which I hear is their best sandwich read more

Great store, lot of polish goodies. They make their own sausages and they are really really good. Their sandwiches are also amazing, given the ingredients. I recommend you make a stop, if not already!!! read more

George's how do I love thee, let me count the ways. And now imagine me counting like The Count from Sesame Street Ok, so I don't live very near George's but ever since I discovered this deli that is also a portal to another past time and space, namely the Europe of my childhood and also Old Seattle, which I miss, I try to go here whenever I am nearby and remember :) When I walk into the small, but cozily-crammed-to-the-rafters with groovy stuff, the first thing that hits me is the reminiscent smell of the German butcher shop of my youth. After that it's usually deciding what items from the bountiful menu I want on my family's sandwiches to go; then it's considering a big container of delicious scratch soup (last one I got was mushroom) and then forgetting that they have frozen pierogies to take home. Next time. To finish off the visit I will select a jar or two of picked from among maybe 5 or more different choices (I get the ones that have the cute doily thing attached to the lid (I think they are their faves) and then pick out a few bags of different flavors of cookies and some interesting candies/chocolates, either from my youth or new to me. Last one I got was marzipan. It's so far never a cheap visit, but my bag of goodies lasts a good amount of time and makes us all very happy until the next time I make it in. Oh, and my favorite deli sandwich to get is the liverwurst on rye with everything but mayo and the special polish cheese whose name I forget, but never the flavor. With all the changes this city is going through I hope George's stays around for a good long time. It's a grounding presence in the neighborhood and in my life. The folks there are lovely, as well, just like an old world neighborhood joint should be read more

I loved this place. I sought it out, wanting authentic Polish food. My first impression , was the genuine and slightly snarky service. I was slightly put off by the attitude, but found they do care.They genuinely wanted their customers to have to have a great experience. I could be reading too much into this impression, but people from my Eastern European background show their love through food. It is why I seek these places out. Not so much the food, but I want to feel the love extended through food. I love the interactions and care shown through the food offerings. So coming here is a more complicated interaction than let's say McDonald's. I'm looking for love through food. And I have to say they deliver. Great homemade soups. Incredible sandwiches. Food that is really good and tastes of caring. Soup is always good, especially anything with mushrooms. My mother loved liverwrust sandwiches. A unique sandwich, that I love here. Tuna and sauerkraut Mely is another sandwich my mother loved. So nice to be able to order it here and reminisce my childhood culinary memories. The Hot Pierogi Plate with kraut and mushrooms has a great earthy flavor. I could eat many more of these. Come in here hungry and needing love. Leave feeling both. read more

George's Deli is five stars for what you get - perfectly sliced prosciutto (although they don't separate it with waxed paper) - a nice selection of goodies, very well-made sandwiches, some very fine EU-quality cookies and snack cakes along with a variety of mix packages! The service is retro mom-and-pop. It is def worth plugging a meter a block away for 15 minutes to run in and score bigly! read more

Excellent service and very tasty, authentic food. It's a strictly "to go" style deli and grocery shop, so plan to have a nice spot to enjoy this great food. I look forward to trying more sandwiches! read more

This place is so amazing! Alone because Tiffany is so cute that it makes waiting for food so pleasant that you feel at home even though you are standing middle in the store lol We ordered pierogi with cheese and potatoes which in my opinion was even better than my mom's ups and pastrami sandwich soooooo delicious! I also did some shopping for home because we don't have a store in central California :( The first store is 4 hours away from us in LA. In general this little store had everything you need and we recommend it to everyone to come here read more

The best kind of place to patronize. Seattle is sorely lacking in these kind of awesome European delis that I got accustomed to in Chicago.

Food was amazing. We had a Ruben and a pastrami, mushroom soup and chicken barley soup. I didn't think the mushroom soup would be so flavorful, but it was. The front area is pretty small, so with just a few people it's a bit crammed. The cashier added some candies and treats with our lunch for having to wait, but it was less than 10 minutes and fairly busy, so I thought service was great. Can't recommend enough. read more

Not amazing, but not bad. All food is to-go and they have a little store inside of imported polish/european products though which was nice. Had this one on my list for a while to try due to high recommendations. I was finally was in the area because I had to be with someone at the hospital nearby, so it was nice that it was a close walk for a quick healthy to-go lunch. Great, friendly, and on-time service for my build-your-own sandwich that I pre-ordered online. There were lots of veggies in my liverwurst & corned beef sandwich, which I appreciated because I love my veggies, but there was one thick slice of liverwurst (I would've preferred this sliced thinner and better spread out in my sandwich because it was too heavy for some bites and nonexistent in some other bites) and it felt like barely any corned beef (I barely noticed it). I also would've preferred a warm sandwich on that cold Seattle day, but that wasn't an option unless it was a set uncustomizable option the menu. Also disappointed in their rye bread - maybe it's their standard, but I've always had rye that is really fragrant and darker colored, whereas this one was light and had no flavor at all (which was weird to me because even rye at Subway has flavor, so this is my first time with rye like this). Overall, I would come again in a pinch but there seems to be other intriguing options in the area to try as well if I'm already going to pay $12 for a sandwich. I will try again at least once though since I was also eyeing their reuben and pierogies, and saw they have pąckzis on weekends. Will give an updated review once that's been tried. read more

I couldn't find the 6th Star, but this place sure deserves one. I've been coming for their house made Pastrami for years now, a pound will last most of the week, if I'm careful! My wife will not eat anyone else's, period. I'd also be willing to bet that you'll not find a better pastrami sandwich, or for that matter, Janet's Corned Beef, anywhere in Seattle. Walk, ride the bus, park on a side street, but get there anyway you can, and I assure you, you'll be back. Ferdinand read more

I get the build your own sandwich with turkey ham and sourdough. It's always delicious.

We come here 3-4 times a month. I'd you haven't tried you are missing out. Everything is fantastic here.

A new addition to the goods available to buy: locally baked fresh poppy seed cake (makowiec). Simply superb. Also, the new owner bakes a very good bread: wheat/rye combo with just a touch of caraway seeds and black cumin (czarnuszka) aroma. read more

Wow! Hard to find authentic Polish products in the PNW. The fresh white sausage is homemade and just like busia's. We got the warm smoked sausage that just came out and tried it immediately, what great flavor. Got some horseradish & Polish plum chocolates called Sliwa. All great but the prices are outrageous $12/pound for the sausage and each small package of chocolates. I understand supply & demand but this could cripple any budget. Service was very helpful. read more
