[[HIGHLIGHT]]If you're looking for a curated, artisanal boutique with mood lighting, keep driving. But if you want a **bare-bones, old-school Polish butcher** that prioritizes the craft of smoke and salt over aesthetics, Seakor is a San Francisco institution that demands a visit[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. This is a masterclass in traditional meat curing. The selection of **smoked meats** is unparalleled in the city. The **Hunter sausage** has that perfect snap and deep, forest-floor smokiness, while the **Summer sausage** and **Garlic sausage** are consistently balanced and flavorful. For the true aficionados, the **head cheese** is exceptional--properly seasoned and authentic. Beyond the butcher counter, they stock a solid wall of imported **Polish mustards, sauces, and delicacies** that you simply won't find at a standard grocer. **The Experience:** * **Service:** Straightforward and efficient. Don't expect small talk; expect your order to be handled with professional precision. * **Selection:** A deep dive into Polish pantry staples and world-class deli meats. * **Vibe:** No frills, high quality, and unapologetically traditional. For anyone serious about high-quality charcuterie or looking to stock a proper Polish pantry, Seakor is the definitive destination in the Richmond. read more

This past Sunday, I requested a sampler of sausage from the clerk that I could gift to my father. He was able to provide me with 3 sausages that he said were bestsellers, and the price was extremely reasonable. The clerk kindly told me "say hi to your dad" at the end of our exchange. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The next day, I arrived with some friends who were from out of town. The store had one other customer that finished his purchase shortly after we arrived.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] After my friend made their sausage purchase, I went up to the same clerk from the day before and thanked him for picking out great sausages the day prior. He did not acknowledge my words, and told me "your friends are too loud." I did not fully comprehend his words, and he told me again "your friends are too loud." [[HIGHLIGHT]]We were definitely a lively group, but not overly loud or disruptive. We all walked away a bit confused.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I genuinely wanted to thank him for his help the day before but I'm not sure it was received. Seeing the other reviews which share his odd, and even racist and rude statements definitely tracks. TLDR: Yummy sausages but unreliable customer service from the clerk. read more

My friend brought my to Seakor Polish Deli, which I've seen a few times while walking through Richmond in the evening, but have never had a chance to visit (since it's usually too late at night to be open when I've been nearby). I've always been intruiged so I'm glad I finally got a chance to give it a try! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The inside is filled with different sorts of sausages, polish candies and other pantry/staple goods on the walls, and the man worker the counter was very welcoming and helpful.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] He gave us each a slice of the wedding sausage to try, which was extremely flavorful and rich - I'll have to come back for these next time. The sausages and meats mostly seemed to be around 8-9 dollars a pound which is very reasonable considering how flavorful and tasty everything was - I left with some veal franks and some kabanos. The veal franks were so tender and delicate! But the kabanos - which my friend had described and "kind of like a slim jim" was amazing - salty but not as overwhelmingly salty as a slim jim, much larger and though dried not tough it leathery at all, it was full of smokey, black pepper flavor. You can smell how fragrant it is in the package! The kabanos made for an excellent road trip/post hike snack, with the salty, smokey goodness perfectly hitting the spot. I'll definitely be back to Seakor to try some different sausages in the future and highly recommend you come check it out too! read more

Well I haven't been here in a while been losing weight but kept pushing for a review so here we are.So I was in the neighborhood of course an I was lucky to find my favorite Jerry in his shop. Like I said before they have the best handmade sausages that I know of in town hands down. They have so many varieties hot polish , Ukrainian, knack wurst many others . The ham he serves is a natural ham which should be illegal it so delicious. They make their own sauerkraut and pickles too. Everything in the shop is good and fresh. The cheese he has many I've tried the Swiss style and the cheddar both fantastic. They have a polish salami roll smoked hard to get . Some many delicious delicacies it's dangerous. They also sell a homemade strudel and other deserts too . The owner Jerry is very personable and friendly also eager to explain all his products sometimes offers a taste. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place just has a warm atmosphere full of happy deliciousness.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The people all of them are really quite nice don't forget to try the bacon. I saw it and had to have it a very dangerous place for me read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Seakor is a great guy. His English is perfect and his store is warm and authentically Polish and European, as is he[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. I was kind of too American and rushed when I came in and he gently with humor and great humility helped me transport my manners back to a pleasant non-rushed posture, and made me feel like I was part of the neighborhood and not the tourist I was. A customer before us ordered half a pound of Smoked Salmon that came out to .8 lbs. The customer insisted on only purchasing the half lb., and Seakor graciously obliged although it seemed like a trifle. We were there to get some Poppyseed Strudel Cake, but spontaneously decided to get the scrap of Smoked Salmon too. The next day we found ourselves in St. Helena at breakfast. We got a fresh bagel, cream cheese and fresh onion. I cut up Seakor's lox. Probably the best lox and bagel i have ever had! read more

Wow. Why have I never walked in? I've seen this place in forever! Grew up in Richmond and now in Sunset I decided to roll through for some meat to grill. VERY friendly staff that greeted us and let us try some of their homemade sausages. OMG it was all delicious! I'm going back as much as I can to have them recommend items for the grill. The blood sausage was fantastic! Spicy mustard paired well with it all. Highly recommend to help this local business. Prices are more than decent! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Sausages is what drew me to Seakor Polish Delicatessen in the outer Richmond on Geary Blvd, a welcoming quiet, Sun-lit, neighbor spot, Jerry and his helper greeting you warmly, offering deli meats, kielbasy, pierogies, golabki, cakes, and sweets.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Love the house cured sausages, pates and headcheese. As well as a nice selection of Polish pantry items and sweets not easily found. They also offer a daily hot dish of the day to go of maybe, sausage, bigo, pierogies, so check that out. But I was there for the sausages. There's a nice selection of Polish, Summer, Garlic, Blood sausages. All cooked. You want to try everything!You can nuke or airfry the sausage in a hurry or if you can wait, panfry lightly with onions and peppers, or take it to the park, slice it, eat it with mustard and fresh bread for a quick meal or snack. WARNING: order more than you expect, as you're slicing the links it somehow finds its way to your mouth v. the plate to share. Slightly embarrassed that it happened on the Summer sausage, I quietly ate the rest of it and pretended all the sausages we bought was plattered...lol SAUSAGES: POLISH - lightly smoked and not overly spicy. I used this in a sausage stew (carrots, celery, onions, seasonings, butter. Yes BUTTER!) that I make for cold days. The sausage was drier than expected but flavorful nonetheless. GARLIC - what more can said...GARLIC Sausage! SUMMER - mild in seasoning and very, very easy to eat. HEADCHEESE: TRADITIONAL HEADCHEESE - I opted for this over the very popular TONGUE HEADCHEESE. I was not disappointed. Think headcheese, full of porky everything and yummy collagen goodness is one of my favor foods. Eat it sliced alone or slather on some mustard of choice, pickles, fresh bread. Yum! Will be back for more sausages, headcheese, and to try the VEAL LOAF, PATES, house pickles, sour cherry jam, POPPYSEED CAKE. read more

Take a deep breath when you step in and you'll be sure to step out with more goodies than you intended. Don't cook tonight - just lay out a platter of their sausages and their bacon and their bread. I also love their Cracow brand Polish dill pickles - more gently pickled than the usual dill. And their apple strudel, house-made, is heart-warming too. read more

Amazing service the deli feels like a cozy little paradise in SF. The gentlemen up front took their time to help me even with a line. I felt like family. I'm going back every chance I get. read more

Love the food and been coming here for years, but noticed within the last year one of the employees is acting out over minor inconveniences. This is not the owner, but the younger tall gentleman with big round head, and thicker black framed glasses. If you shop at Seakor and encounter him, I recommend you Just order your food in even numbers, and don't ask him to repeat himself or it sets him off and he raises his voice. He might be on the spectrum or something but he needs to clam down or leave because I'm about to take my business to the other deli in Concord. read more

Went to store last week get some sausage the clerk refused to slice sausage and told me : don't you have a knife slice at home. I've been coming to that store for years and never had problem . None of the products have a price , a lot of the products are expired and in case you pay with credit card check the total amount read more

Just returned from Sekor. I was helped by the owners son I believe. A young man I believe in his early to mid 40's. Full head of gray hair. I wish I had asked for his name. He could not have been more helpful, courteous, and knowledgeable about his products. The young lady in front of us was not sure of exactly what type of sausage she wanted. He patiently cut samples from different types. Double smoke, cherry wood, polish kielbasa! I ended up buying $99.90 worth of sausage! Everything he gave her to sample he gave to me, my wife, and another gentleman! And there was a line!!! He did not rush anyone!!! We had a most joyous experience!!!! I would say to the one star reviewers........."you can please some of the people some of the time, And you can please some of the people all of the time But you cannot please all of the people all of the time.

Just had the most delicious Polish-based meal with my parents who are visiting San Francisco. My mom grew up on lots of Polish foods in Cleveland and so when we were driving on Geary and saw this deli, I quickly pulled over so she could check it out. [[HIGHLIGHT]]As soon as we walked in, we were warmly greeted and the entire facility smelled amazing.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It was easy to find things and the staff explained recipes that my mom asked about. We bought Polish sausage, mushroom + sauerkraut pierogis, traditional mustard, horseradish & pickles, as well as tea and desserts (both the apple pie + cheesecake) and WOW... Still sitting at the table finishing the last few bites of this incredibly flavorful and heartwarming meal with my parents. Thank you Seakor for this opportunity to enjoy such a delicious bunch of flavors that i've never experienced on one plate all together! I'll be back for sure! read more

Seakor Polish Delicatessen - Polish sausage, mushroom + sauerkraut pierogis, traditional mustard, horseradish & pickles - Grocery Near Me - San Francisco, California

Should have called the police when an employee started yelling and swearing at me, primarily because he heard me speak Russian and berated me for not knowing Ukrainian. I was stunned and emotional. I haven't heard such insults since moving to USA over 35 years ago. I am pretty sure he gave me rotten food as a response too, I should have left instead of buying but I was stunned. Returned the sausages and informed the owner who was apologetic but didn't feel that his employee should be fired. Just asked if he wqs drunk! Next time, he'll have police called on him and the store closed by the health department. Unbelievable treatment!!!! Never stepping foot there again and will spread the word to everyone asking them to boycott! read more

I've been coming to Seakor Deli for years and always had wonderful experiences, but today I left absolutely shocked. The salesperson (not the owner) was incredibly rude and behaved in a way that was honestly disturbing. We asked for five pieces of a certain cheese, and he responded with, "Wow, five?" When we asked if that was a lot, he snapped back, "Is that a lot for YOU?" I tried to ignore the attitude, but then it got worse. While ringing us up, he announced, completely unprovoked, "I HATE kids," as my mom stood there with my daughter. When I asked why, he said, "They are disgusting to me." I was stunned and honestly a bit scared by how hostile and inappropriate he was--especially saying something like that in front of a child. I don't know what is going on with this person, but this behavior is unacceptable. I will not return as long as he is working there. read more

Great selection of items but the whole store reeks of hand sanitizer and ends up getting on the food. The server applies a liberal amount on his hands and then the sausages tastes of cleaning alcohol. Please just wash your hands and wear gloves, otherwise it ruins the quality of your products. read more

Food good. Very bad service now. When Jerry was there we never have any problems. Now this gentlemen who in store now very rood. Not nice to customers. Star only for this gentleman. read more

My mother and I have been coming here for many years. Great food. However, I was in your shop last Saturday and experienced a very unpleasant and particularly condescending service person, an experience that I cannot just shrug off. He was very curt and bothered by my questions. His attitude as a representative of your shop needs improvement; otherwise you will lose customers. The father Josef and son Jeffrey, have always been very helpful and pleasant. read more

We have been coming here for years, but the younger worker should be fired and likely watched by APS for his abrupt, rude, and disgusting behavior to customers and especially the elderly. We have loved this store for years and came here often for their amazing produce. The owner is a sweet, polite, wonderful man. His nephew, the man described above, is an embarrassment. He is a disgrace. Fire him and save yourself future headaches! read more

This website needs an update. Seakor no longer offers sandwiches and no longer offers most of the desserts listed here. And when you ask, the person behind the counter barks at you. The service used to be kind and friendly. The clerk there now was shockingly rude. Hostile to those who spoke English, Polish, Ukrainian. Sad to see the decline. read more

The sausies I picked up were stellar; but the service, not so much. I put 5-$5 bills on the counter that I had counted 3 times for my order that was just over $20. He counts 4- $5 bills, (how did a bill disappear so quickly?) and gives me the coin portion of my change. While I'm waiting for the rest of my change, he's just standing there with a kind of intimidating look on his face that makes me get out of there real quick without asking for my $4. I don't think I'll go back because it seemed like blatant thievery. I was with a friend who saw everything and also experienced it the way I did. I want to give him the benefit of the doubt, and I know memory is funny, but I was left feeling most uncomfortable, unwelcome, and taken advantage of. read more

Witamy w San Francisco! Stęskniło się za kiełbasą i Delicjami? Seakor na ratunek! Ich wędliny są naprawdę niepowtarzalne i zaspokajają potrzebę Krajowej/Krakowskiej/Wiejskiej. Poza tym... to jedyne polskie deli w całym San Francisco czyli nieoficjalny środek polskiej kultury. Dobrze że są i mam nadzieję, że biznes będzie się kręcił czy to z polską klientelą czy bez. Minus gwiazdka za wystrój i znikomy asortyment magazynów. read more

Updates! Salmon, trout and mackerel (smoked fresh). Lunch on Tuesdays and Thursdays (it's so popular they need to isolate it to two days a week or the place is overrun). Otherwise a beautiful, quiet, neighborhood deli with all your old world favorites. A must for mustards, horseradish, and sides for your charcuterie. Great Eastern European cheeses and meats. Difficult to find elsewhere. read more

Fourth generation Polish-American on my grandmother's side, explains a bit including my cat's name ("Mishka") that means "teddy bear" in Polish. I've driven past this Polish deli, mainstay in San Francisco for 50 years, only stopping for the first time today or as owner Jerry teased me, "What's wrong with you?!?" Ha ha! Homemade horseradish, jars of mustard, sauerkraut and pickled beets, fresh rye bread, pierogi (made fresh for the holidays), varieties of sausage and several kinds of rich head cheese. Shades of my Grammy's neighborhood on Buffalo's south side. I spied a poppyseed roll and asked for two slices. Jerry pointed and said, "I'll wrap it up?" "No no, not half a ring, just two slices!" "Well, these are two POLISH slices!" I stifled a giggle. "Yes, that sounds good". Added some pickled items, sausage and homemade, fresh horseradish that'll annihilate seasonal allergies. Great shop, warm service, lots of regulars coming and going. Now on my circuit, look forward to returning soon. read more

Cute mom and pop delicatessen on Geary Street in Richmond district SF. Lots of different cured sausages. We chose to get the garlic sausage. Since it's already cooked, we just had to immerse it in hot water for 10 minutes and chop it up. We had it with spaghetti and it was good! Behind the counter were some homemade desserts. We opted to get a slice of cheesecake and he gave us a huge slice that fed four. The cheesecake was light, airy, creamy and just the right amount of sweet. I would buy it again. read more

I tried this place months ago after reading about it from Cherylynn's informative and entertaining review. The shop is clean and they have a lot of Polish food items. We came in and brought some jellied head-cheeses on that visit and they were great. A few weeks ago, we decided to come back and try their sausages and sandwich. Both are very good. My hubby also really enjoyed the poppyseed cake. We didn't know this, but they don't make sandwiches on the weekend as they are too busy. So we came back on another visit during the week to try the sandwich. They ran out of lettuce on the day we came by, so normally their sandwiches may include lettuce. We enjoyed the sandwich on rye bread. I have no idea what the meats are on the sandwich, but they give you quite a lot as you can see from the photo. Good service, friendly. read more

Great selection of in house made sausages, meats, jams, and pickled items. Seakor also has a nice selection of imports, and the staff is polite and patient to help customer explore their offerings. Parking was very easy on a Sunday afternoon, though the store did have a short line. I opted to just be patient as the line moved slowly as many of the customers were exploring what the shop had to offer. As for my shopping, I picked up a jar of Herring in Wine Marinade, plus some of their house made Pickles , and a large link of the Beer Sausage. Where I grew up in New Jersey there were large communities of Polish & German immigrants so their cuisine is part of my childhood memory. Some of the selections in the case were light, or sold out, but it was mid afternoon, and the shop was busy. I will need to come back to see how their seasonal offerings change. Btw it is also my understanding that during Lent they produce Paczki which is a rich raised dough doughnut that is filled, I want to check that out. read more

Good grief. Just go and get your meat for half the price they charge everywhere else in SF for 2x the quality and stop whining about if you got half a smile or a full smile or a fake smile from the guy behind the counter who probably swam here to escape communism when he was 9 years old. The sausage here is absolutely delicious. Personally I'm happy pay far less than the SF average butcher for better product and am glad there is still real food and real people in the world. God bless this place and it's smoked bacon and kielbasa and cheesecake! read more

The person who works there is not very friendly. I bought a condiment and found out it was expired since 2022...

I went there couple of times because my Mom likes their bacon. The guy at the counter is very, very rude and condescending. Don't ask him any questions because he doesn't want to be bothered and you will feel like he is against you and your religion. Why he is serving people when he doesn't want to serve them? The food is good but the service sucks. Not planning to go back there. read more

In addition to the posts of Anonymous A. (Nov 18, 2025), Ella F. (Nov 13, 2025), and Zoya F. (Sep 23, 2025). Seakor was a good grocery with delicious food. But now an abhorrent salesman works there who goes out of his way to be unhelpful. Two days ago, my wife wanted to buy some products in Seakor. The salesman was not just rude. He refused to serve her, instead of this he required her in agrressive form to answer what country she is from. My wife answered this is not his business and asked to call the manager. The salesman refused to do this and started speaking in profanities instead of actually selling the store's products. Another potential customer walked in at the time and turned away, losing the business two customers. My wife did not expect such agression and discrimination. She was upset and returned home crying. I have reported to Jerry (the owner of Seakor, nice person, he works on Thursdays) about this outrageous incident. I hope the owners will act on this pattern and this salesman will be appropriately punished. read more

Today I went to this Polish store and the guy at the store who sells or maybe he was the owner. He was very rude from the start. He overcharged me clearly when I ask him for a receipt receipt doesn't even specify the food. Everything was seven dollars, which was overpriced. The prices were not there. He just took the prices off of his head when I ask him can I ask you a question he said no and I said is the white cheese fresh he said no it's old. You know his manners he was very rude and un welcoming. I don't suggest that anyone visit the store look for some other Polish store in San Francisco. I'm sure you meet more pleasant clerks. read more

The best kept secret for Polish deli food in San Francisco! Authentic Polish sausages as well as imported groceries. The poppy seed cake is excellent if you happen to be there on the right day.

SF pricing prepares you for just about anything. $5 parking for....15 minutes....check. $18 avocado toast...check. $100 roast duck...check. $1 million busted shack...check. At least, there's two parking spaces included? So, imagine my shock when my total was ONLY $28.86 at Seakor Polish Delicatessen for ALL of this: https://bit.ly/3jglN4A * 1 pound of Beef Tongue Headcheese (chockfull of beefy, tender tongue) * 1 pound of Mixed Headcheese (fav of the two, lots of gelatinous goodness) * Around 6 ounces of Veal Pâté (smooth, rich, earthy, not overly salty) * Jar of Spicy Gherkin Pickles * 8 ounces of Housemade Horseradish (sinus clearing!) * Two bottled drinks. Most items aren't priced so it was a welcome surprise, opposite than the usual *gasp* when I get the bill. Seriously, you can't beat the throwback prices here. IF you're a fan of offal and gelatinousness goodness, Seakor is spot to visit in the city! Just wish they weren't lax with mask enforcement. read more

I came here after seeing cherylynns check in & post . I was so intrigued, I never knew what headcheese was until now. Apparently I have been eating headcheese all my life (in banh mi ) and didn't know it. Plenty of street parking nearby . There's a smorgasbord of stuff here, and I was so overwhelmed. I ended up grabbing a pound of combination headcheese , one pate, and a strawberry and blueberry milk chocolate bar. Omg, the pate and headcheese here is freaking delicious. I ate it with some toasted sourdough bread, and my mouth was in heaven . I will be back to try their sausages and other foods . This place is a must go, super affordable for Bay Area /SF and they have the most fabulous assortment of European imports . read more

Not just rude. but offensive. A Polish (!) friend of mine complained about that to me recently and I didn't take it seriously. Today I experienced it first hand. We came on Sunday. They had a sign that they sell bigos and I asked about it. The sales person answered curtly that they didn't have any. I tried to soften the situation and said that it was ok and in reply I hear: "And why do you ask questions if that's ok? You like to waste your time?" I didn't answer back because I thought it was surely some misunderstanding. But the following exchange was even worse, I won't go into details as it will make it too long. Well, they just lost customers of many years. The food is ok, but the personnel does not just lack social skills, they seem to have bigger problems. I looked at Google reviews and found that I am not the only one. read more
