In Short – The blinds that line the windows of this tiny deli/food shop, conceal a colorful array of people and goods inside. Customers chat with the proprietors in English and Polish while an intoxicating, smoky aroma from the plethora of sausages permeates the space. Beyond tall shelves stocked with beets, borscht and babka mixes, past colorful rows of pickles and sauerkraut lies the deli case, packed full of imported cheeses, smoked ribs, tenderloins, and long ropes of Polish, Hungarian, and hunter sausage links.

A Good Place Gone Way Downhill

by Maciek

This used to be a wonderful deli with super fresh cold cuts and sausages. Now, the product is often old and way too salty. Maybe they use more salt to cover up the taste of poorer quality. Also, be careful when you buy packaged goods - you may buy something that's past its expiration date. I've bought cookies, candies and bread that were stale. In addition to the steadily declining quality of their meats, the deli itself has become shabby, dingy and dirty. They haven't painted the place in years. I think the owners tried hard to please their customers when they first opened the place but now they're just raking in the dough because they're the only Polish deli around. I'm from Poland and I know how their products should taste. Apparently, they forgot or don't care. When I first notice the place going downhill, I gave them a few chances to improve. Since nothing changed, I no longer patronize J&T Deli.

  • Pros: Good imported beers from Poland
  • Cons: Poor quality of meats, old product, shabby dingy store
