Martin Rosol's, Inc. - Meat Shops Near Me - New Britain, Connecticut

Martin Rosol's makes the hot dogs for 3 of my fav hot dog shops in CT. Riley's. Dogtown. Capitol Lunch. Other good spots too. They have great flavor, substance and texture. Their kielbasa is my go to choice for similar reasons. Although, I can buy Rosol's at most, if not all of the area places where I buy groceries, I've been curious about the retail shop for a while. The Rosol's New Britain facility is multi-purpose. It's where they execute at least certain aspects of production. It appears to be the distribution hub. And it has a retail store. The retail store is behind a a Vault Door. The store is essentially inside a cooler. So why would you visit the NB Retail Shop rather than just buy MR's products in stores? The MR product choices are wider and easier to find since they're all in one room. They have curated some products like pickles, mustard and kraut they think go with their meats. If you're a Blackie's Hot Pepper Relish fan, for instance, they sell jars of it. They sell a very well seasoned chili in cartons that goes well with their dogs. The fact that you're buying everything at the source in a cold environment, makes me think you're getting max fresh food. The dogs I grilled last night were great. In addition, I picked up some other cool food when I was in New Britain. 5 Stars read more

I grew up in Plainville CT so Martin Rosol's has been a part of many a holiday celebration for as long as I can remember. Their Easter Kielbasa was always a staple at dinner. I have not been to their retail location in years but it has not changed as far as I can tell. This family-owned company has been in business for almost 90 years - so if it ain't broke - don't fix it. You walk into the store - which is basically a big refrigerator with the meat case in front of you and the smoked kielbasa to the right of you. They offer fresh and smoked kielbasa as well as many other deli meats and cheeses. They also have some of their sausages wrapped up so you can grab some and stick it in your fridge for later use. I picked up some fresh and smoked kielbasa while there. The fresh I stuck in the freezer for later use but I used the smoke kielbasa some grilled flatbread and it was phenomenal! Highly recommend! read more

Rosol's has been a big name in my Polish family's household for years, but we finally made a visit to their retail store to stock up for our Memorial Day cookout! We tried the kielbasa burgers and dogs for the first time and fell in love! I also thought the walk in cooler for the entrance to the retail store was so cool! Whether I'm picking up their products at my local store or visiting the retail store again, I'll be sure to stay stocked up on Rosol's! read more

Five Stars all day long! This place is an institution. A must stop for Polish cold cuts, hotdogs, cheeses, and that delicious hotdog sauce. Pretty good parking, and a very friendly and knowledgeable staff to assist you with your choices The star of the show, of course are the hotdogs and kielbasas. Do not discount the cold cuts. Everyone of them is delicious. The hotdogs are the best in the area, but to accompany them, pick up that hotdog sauce! That probably is the best in Connecticut and reasonably priced per pint . If you live anywhere in Connecticut or surrounding states, it is definitely worth a trip here to see an old tradition, and famous to the area institution. Now that I am done with the review, I am craving Martin Rosals! read more

Martin Rosol's Meats is a meat and cold cut production company that opened in New Britain, Connecticut in 1928. It was founded by Polish immigrant Martin Rosol. He started his company in a small garage with about 8 employees. At that time, Polish immigrants made up a quarter of the New Britain population. Even today, New Britain's "Little Poland" is the largest Polish population of any city or town in the state. Rosol moved the business to its current location on Grove Street in 1937. Rosol's son Eugene joined the company in 1946 after returning from duty in World War II. He later became the CEO and remained so until he passed away in 2010. Eugene's son Robert joined the company in 1981 and later served as President until he passed away in 2017. Today his widow Sarah serves as President, while their sons Tim and Teddy serve as Chief of Operations and General Manager respectively. Teddy Rosol recently contacted me and invited my family and I to come and tour the Rosol factory. He was such a friendly person and so professional. Although the factory was small, I was impressed with how clean and organized everything was. The company has about 22 full-time employees. They are very loyal to the business and some have worked there for over 50 years each. The company's best-selling products have always been their "Frankfurts" (hotdogs) and Kielbasa. Rosol's also produces an "Easter Kielbasa" (smoked version) which is very popular during the Easter season. Rosol's has a retail store and deli at their production facility where you can buy their products directly. Teddy was very generous to my family and sent us home with Frankfurts, Cocktail Franks, Kielbasa Rings, Kielbasa Patties, Kielbasa Kellies, Sliced Head Cheese, Chili, and Horseradish. We already grilled up some of the hotdogs and tried them with the chili and horseradish. Growing up in New Haven, I was raised on Hummel Brothers hotdogs (which set the bar very high). Now that I've tried Rosol's, I want to go on record and say that their products are just as good! read more

I have traveled for work for more than 20 years. I have tried many fresh kielbasas. The ones I like the best are made here. The Easter one is extra special. I like to smoke them myself. They are a perfect on a long cook like a brisket. Grilling them on gas or charcoal is also good. The blend of meat and spices is what makes the distinct flavor. Their smoked kielbasa is also good. For me this one takes 2nd of all the ones I have tried. It is faster to cook and can be heated in many other ways still having a smoked flavor with less time. The hot dogs are very good also. It's a good day when I get to go to their store to smell the meat. read more

We drove two hours from Boston. Great snap on the dogs and really good flavor for the kielbasa.

My first time here was today and the kielbasa stick was delicious, and the hot dogs were pretty good too, although I am partial to Hummel dogs. The only negative was the scowl on the face of the young employee (2/22/2025). He really did not want to be there, and it was as uncomfortable for me as it was for him. He needs to find work he enjoys. read more

Watching WFSB channel 3 morning news on Good Friday morning. They had a story about this place, and how people are waiting before they opened to get their special Easter kielbasa. Ok we now know what we're doing today. Located on Grove street it's pretty hard to miss. Their sign, which looks like it's mid 20th century vintage, could fit into a gangster movie. Parking is limited to less than 10 spaces, which would be ok if it was any other day of the year. We cruised up and down and no luck getting a spot. We went up the street and there's a Polish Club on the right. There were a few cars in there and decided to chance it. WORD OF WARNING: There's absolutely no on street parking in the vicinity, and places that have their own lots, are posted as tow away areas. Anyway, walking in the place is a trip! (In a good way) To enter the store, the door is an actual cold room / butcher shop type door, with the correct handle. Sales area is small, but this is a meat store. Pre-packaged meats, and other items are self serve, and the meats (not packaged) are behind a typical deli or meat department case. After your business is done, you move left and there's the one lane check out. We bought a good assortment of kielbasa, perogies, and such. Came home and had to sample it all. Perfection! This is what real sausage and polish food should taste like! All in all, you can't go wrong with anything from here. I you're in the New Britain area, especially Little Poland, this is a must see! read more

Super friendly staff and delicious products. Christian was who helped us and we couldn't have better service

What? It's Martin-freaking-Rosol's. Best smoked kielbasa and frankfurters around. Their Italian sausage, which you might not think to get at a Polish meat shop, can absolutely compete as well. And there's still so much that I need to try. They put out a special kielbasa for Easter that is leaner and uses a different mix of seasonings; stop in before the rush! I have a few Polish coworkers, and every so often we bring a load of M.R.'s kielbasa into the office, along with some rye from Roly Poly, and my own personal contribution: Boetje's mustard, brought all the way from the Midwest. Killer combination. read more

I'd like to thank Teddy and his mom for being so kind and gracious to my husband and I, this morning. The reason why your store has been around for over 90 years is a testament to how a business should be run. We will return, because you have the freshest meat and a very good selection of Polish food. Your staff is very helpful, even on the busiest of days. Thanks again. read more

A traditional day-before-Easter destination for my family. Great selection of kielbasa...both smoked and fresh. Helpful guys behind the counter, many of whom I've seen for at least the past decade. They have a few other items (pickles, spices, soup mixes, frozen pierogi) along the wall, but really this is a meat-only destination for me. Don't forget to grab some kiszka! Since I always go Easter weekend, it can be busy. We usually try to get there early (around 10). Then we take all our goodies out to the car and snack on some sausage quick before we head up the road to do the rest of our shopping. Mmmm. read more

Some of the best kielbasa I've ever eaten.. And you can shop online.. How do you beat that?

Add a Portuguese roll some kraut and your in heaven!!! I'll be cooking some up Christmas Eve and I can't wait!!!!!! read more

Fantastic meat products of all descriptions, I can't say enough good things about them. Step into the cooler sale's room and get what you need. Great, friendly staff. You just can't go wrong with them. read more

The gals and guys that work here do not "F" around. You step into their cooler and all the meat products are there on display. Their most bought products are frankfurters, kielbasa and veal loaf. Do you have a question, concern or problem? Speak right up, the counter people have all of your answers. All of the products that I have bought from them were absolutely delicious. So please get on down and pick up some perfectly fresh and nice priced meats. This weekend we just ordered in their online store for our son in North Carolina. All they have done there are the national brands like Ball Park Franks, if you check the internet you'll know what interesting meat products are added to them. So head on down to Martin Rosol's and ask them about the white Corvette parked at the loading dock. read more

These guys make my favorite. Whenever my non-Polish friends try authentic kielbasa they can understand why the national brands at the supermarket don't compare. This is where the local Polish community shops. read more

Absolutely Great Kielbasa and other Varieties of Sausage and Cold Cuts! Great selection of Polish Food including Pierogies Pickles, Mustards, Spices, etc. Their Retail Store is a MUST Stop & Shop Here Place every time I am back in CT read more
