I must've died and went straight to Polish Meat Market Heaven because this place is the real freakin deal over here. Meats!! Meats!! Glorious Meats!! everywhere you look is some kind of Seasoned, Smoked, Cured, Marinated, or Pickled Meat. So you'll have to forgive me for all this hype I'm sending out for this place but believe me when I tell you it's all totally justifiable. And as you would expect they also prepare traditional homemade foods like Pierogi [Dumplings], Kielbasa Kapusta [Kielbasi with Sauerkraut], Bigos [Hunter's Stew], Gotąbki [Cabbage Rolls], and do not forget the Placki Ziemniaczane [Potato Pancakes]. Polski Smak also offers a nice selection of Prepared Foods, Pantry Items, Dairy, and imported Chocolates direct from Poland that you just can't find anywhere else.

I'm Polish so I had to stop here for some cold cuts and goodies before Easter. It's a small deli but it smells so good once you walk in. They have a sandwich menu which is great for the local businesses and offices. I got their ham off the bone and it was delicious. It is significantly a bit more expensive than my usual spots in Clifton and Garfield but quality is good. read more

Well, the food may not be as good as the food your Babci made but it is dam good. This small deli specializes in Eastern European cuisine, They have favorites like pierogi (mushroom, cabbage, sauerkraut, cheese ), letcko, babka, golabki, garlic sausages, poppy seed rolls (one of my favorites), blintzes, paczki (donuts) and a killer kielbasa. They also have other imported products and condiments from Europe. They have a full service meat department and make great sandwiches at more than reasonable prices. The stuffed cabbage is really good, as are their other hot food offerings. If you are in the area, they offer daily diner entrees featuring a meat with two side dishes served with or without soup for less than $10. Since I am close by, Polski Smak is my go to Polish deli. read more

Nice little Polish deli in a tiny strip mall on route 23 south in Butler. In the area on other business. Pleasant surprise. I took out a sampling for dinner. This is strictly a take-out operation -- no eat-in seating -- and parking is a bit awkward. Pleasant folks. You can practice your Polish if you must, but everyone speaks English. They carry all the usual suspects made fresh in house, like pierogi (try the blueberry - terrific with sour cream), golomky (stuffed cabbage), nalysnyky (cheese blintzes), potato pancakes, and more. Their cured meats are authentic enough too. They offer a few varieties of house smoked kielbasy and hams; their Moscow-style ham is lightly cured but heavy with raw garlic, and the wedding kielbasy is double smoked (a bit much for me) and plenty garlicky too. You can also find traditional rye bread and the usual condiments and prepared salads to go with your lipid-loving extravaganza. When I want a serious Polish foodie fix ... it's Piast all the way (https://www.yelp.com/biz/piast-meats-and-provisions-garfield-6) -- but PS is sure worth a look if you are in the neighborhood and have Polish comfort food on the mind. read more

I used to go to the store on a weekly basis, but I think today was my last time. I went there to pick up my favorite meats. Got there few min before 6pm, not because I sat on my couch all day long, but because I work in a healthcare, we close at 5pm and it takes me 1 hour to get there. I wasn't served since the cutting machine was already cleaned. The lady that I spoke to claimed to be an owner. I'm very disappointed. If you close at 6pm, you should serve until 6pm. If you come to doctor at closing hour, we don't turn you down just because our office " is already clean". Just saying. I don't think I'm returning to the store. Didn't like the attitude read more

Very Disappointed in the racist, hateful attitude of some of the staff. I have driven out of my way to support Polski Smak, with no respect or appreciation shown me in return. Although I've grown up with Polish, Ukrainian and other Eastern European foods, I admittedly don't speak Polish--as many of their customers do-- and sometimes have questions regarding what a certain item is or how it might taste. But if you ask the wrong employee such a question, and obviously do not speak Polish, you don't deserve to be insulted, snapped at (even yelled at!), or treated as if you're bothering them--which is how several employees of this store act. I watched as the customer in front of me who spoke Polish was doted on and treated in an entirely different manner than I was. Then, when it was my turn, the employee (possibly owner) who waited on the prior customer totally ignored me, treating me as if I were invisible! (I'm sorry I didn't walk out). Despite standing right in front of the hot food area, I literally had to ask for someone to help me, prompting the cashier to walk over in a pissed off mood with a horrible temper, while I was simply trying to order food to bring to someone grieving over the death of a relative. I was yelled at for not knowing what an item was, inquiring if it was hot or cold, and trying to get the right order, which turned out to be a total ripoff. Clearly, I'm not wanted at this business, my ethnicity is not wanted here, and I was made to feel like dirt, which nobody deserves. My goddaughter is Polish, and I can't imagine her family treating anyone the horrible way I was treated at Polski Smak. On top of this, the employee with the nasty temper never bothered to change her gloves from handling money and credit cards at the register, to handling the styrofoam container and hot food service, while multiple customers (at least 3!) were on top of each other at the register when I was there, making it impossible to socially distance. read more

The menu requires some knowledge of Polish food with some offerings being familiar while others may require some exploration. We were two couples dining on a weekday evening. Two people had plum stuffed pork which was very good, one had the pork loin and broccoli which was also good. I had the schnitzel which was not to be confused with German or Austrian schnitzel. It was two small loaves of a mix of beef and pork which resembled more of a meatloaf. It was a bit bland but satisfactory. It came with mashed potatoes. Several sides of Polish sauerkraut, beet salad, and what appeared to be a fermented carrot salad were included. We shared an appetizer platter of pirogies, kielbasa, and something I couldn't identify, but it was all very tasty. This is not BYOB because they have a full bar.

It was my time to expose my friend group to Polish cuisine, and boy is this the place to do it! We were immediately greeted by the authentic decor, furniture, and outdoor space of a Highlander restaurant in Poland. The furniture is hand carved and there are outfits and decorations straight from the motherland. You feel like you are in your grandmother's home- and in a good way! There is something to look at and admire around every corner. Our waitress was so welcoming and patient while we decided on a variety of orders. She greeted us with a warm smile, gave us plenty of time to select from the menu, and provided top-notch recommendations. The food - don't get me started. This is as good, if not better, than what I eat in Poland. We tried soups (the żurek- sour, but not overwhelming, well presented in a bread bowl, and with delicious boiled egg- and the red barszcz- a tangy beet soup), a "sampler platter" with gołąbki (mini stuffed cabbage with tomato sauce for pouring to your liking), and grilled kielbasa. We also opted for the rye bread, lard, and half sour pickles. Sounds odd, but don't knock it till you try it! It's not what you expect, very rich and filling. For my entrée, I had a thinly sliced breaded pork cutlet with mashed potatoes on the side and "mizeria" (Polish side salad with cucumbers, dill, and sour cream). It was so fresh and light. I loved it because it reminded me of summers with my grandma. The drinks were colorful, well presented, and strong! Definitely worth their $12+ price. Overall, this spot is a hit. There is plenty of parking on the street or across the street at the library. Everything from the service, ambiance, presentation, to the freshness and taste of the food was top-notch. This is the spot to visit if you want real Polish food. We will be coming back!

Although we obviously ended up coming to a Polish place rather than Ukrainian, I loved getting to show him some of the food I grew up eating sometimes as someone who is part Ukrainian. It was pretty slow as we got here late on a Saturday night and it seemed to be mostly locals, which we both love. It gave Polish diner vibes and had a great menu! We got quite the spread to share - the pierogi platter (crispy), potato pancakes, and stuffed cabbage. And we STUFFED ourselves on them all (and didn't regret a thing).

It feels like a casual Ski Chalet that serves awesome soup, for $2 extra it comes with the BEST Challah Bread!!!!

I had TSP come in and do retexture and painting work recently. Their pricing was excellent. I am very pleased with the work that they did. The textures and paints were perfectly matched. The project manager, Amanda Cunningham and all of her workers were extremely professional. The job was done very quickly and executed absolutely perfectly. I couldn't be happier.

I remember Otto's Deli bustling back in the day but that was generations ago. I'm dam near 70 now and with the advent of supermarkets and delivery to home I guess that's a sign of the times.

I had the Original Philly Cheese steak sandwich and it might have been the best I've ever had.

Reminds me of Colombia or Brazil. Recommend the NY chopped cheese, the burgers, and the MozzFather hotdog.

What frustrated me wasn't just that I couldn't get food. It was the complete waste of my time. After a 14-hour workday, I called to place an order and was put on hold for over 7 minutes without anyone ever returning to the line. I hung up and spent the next 10-15 minutes repeatedly calling back, only to get a busy signal. I completely understand being busy. I understand being short-staffed. What I don't understand is leaving customers on hold indefinitely and then never answering the phone. A simple "We're slammed," "The kitchen is closed," or "We're not taking any more orders tonight" would have taken 10 seconds. Instead, I wasted over 20 minutes of my night trying to give a local business my money and got nowhere. Time is something I can never get back, and that's what bothers me most about this entire experience. The food may be great. The service I experienced tonigh lead me to the somewhat new Indian place in downtown Butler. Fantastic food PS the Bombay chicken wings at a different level.
