Kurowski Sausage Shop

“Authentic”-Kielbasa craving? Look no further than Kurowski. Never in all my years of shopping here have I ever found an English-speaking-Polish-Foodie able to describe the differences of the +20 types of Smoked-Sausages they make here ( & sell here as well). It is a place that smells as good as it tastes. Their Hot Food bar offers a great Polish Lunch selection, as well as the refrigerated display case featuring my fav- a Carrot “Salad”/Slaw w/Raisins, as well as other pickled items and coleslaw. Sadly, since The Pandemic they’ve stopped selling “bones” inna Blue-Plastic-Barrel. The piggy bones were great to use for soups or stocks, & my Honduraino buddy literally drooled(& kissed me) over the “trotters” I gifted him that were pulled-outta that Blue Barrel. The southern 1/2 of the stores sells all sorts of non-meat items from European Butter & Cheese to Dill Pickles inna barrel to Gluten-Free-Breads made w/Sunflower Seeds! “Pro-Tip”:: For your next picnic ( or cocktail gathering)- may I suggest getting a few pairs of “Kabonosy” + also request a 2” thick slice (use Sign-Language-to-show-Thickness) of their Smoked-Gouda Cheese ( pronounced-“How-dah”)> and b4 your picnic cut into small cubes /slice the Kabonosy into lil bite-sizes> & toothpick-em-together! (Maybe go crazy& skewer a Gherkin on it too!) (Insiders alert- on the top of the Stainless counter, over by The scales are broken Kielbasa packaged and sold for a steep discount) A bit of Chicago Retail History, this address was formerly the home of “Animal Kingdom” Pet-Shop. Wanna Snake? Wanna Lizard? Wanna Ocelot? Turtles-big and small? Wanna goldfish ( to feed to the Turtle!?) Even an occasional Capuccian Monkey ? ( think Organ Grinder) All sorts of legit & questionable live animals used to be sold here Kurowski Sausage is - CHICAGO’s VERY OWN!

Small Polish grocery store with fresh meat market. Very good customer service and great selections. I'm not polish but like the selections.

It's worth the flight from Houston. Made great shopping there. The lady at the store Mariola made us feel very welcomed and helped us with air vacuuming the sausage and ham securely. Definitely will come back for delicious and fresh products.

Definitely best shop in Polish Village. All these products you need to try. Don't think only about the snacks, you will find also premade dishes, meat, cheese and sweets from Poland. Really it's not only the sausages. Much recommended to try few of these.

Amazing. Just like home! Delicious Kielbasa and other Polish Meats. When we fly in to Chicago from Raleigh NC ,to visit family in Madison we always stop and get provisions for our time here!

One of the last if not the last real Polish Sausage shops left in Avondale. You simply cannot beat - I repeat cannot beat their prices on meats cooked or fresh. DON'T MISS OUT ON THIS LITTLE GEM. You may never see this again.

Great sausage and a ton of amazing prepared soups and foods. Great place for Polish delicacies and staples. Highly recommended!
