We drove from Lancaster based on the legend of Kowaloneks. With a trunk full of coolers we embarked on a men’s trip. They did not disappoint I ate a pound of jerk on the way home. Go prepared to know what you want. It is very busy on a Saturday and as a first timer I felt the pressure to get my order in and get out of the way. All the staff and customers couldn’t have been nicer. The kielbasa was certainly worth the trip. I’m positive this will not be my last visit.

31DEC2025 UPDATE: These latest photos say it all… the Anthracite Appalachia Region and her Son’s and Daughters spread throughout the tri-State area LOVE their Kielbasy!
ORIGINAL POST: The absolute best Kielbasy Shop in Shenandoah. Our family’s go to for platters and party prep… to include Super Bowl celebrations.

The BEST Polish meat shop I have found so far! Everything is made on-site and out-of-this-world flavor! The only bad thing is the parking lot is small and hard to get parking, but everything else is amazing. If you love kielbasa and everything else meat related, you gotta go here. Very reasonable prices as well!

Best fresh and smoked kielbasy (and everything else they make), by far!!! Anywhere!!! I have looked far and wide, through many states, through many butchers, through many grocers. No one can compare to Kowalonek’s. My parents would drive from virginia beach to Kowalonek’s (round trip in one day…11 hours) to pick up their (and me and my sisters) order. They would travel 2x a year. It’s my turn now and I will continue the tradition.

If you like Kielbasa, you have to visit this amazing shop! They have too many delicious items to list, but our favorites are the bacon bombs and Hawaiian sticks; both are like nothing we’ve ever tasted before. The staff are extremely helpful and efficient, especially during busy times. If you go near the holidays, expect a line out the door! It’s that good!

An excellent kielbasa shop! Fast friendly service and excellent kielbasa! We got two of every kielbasa stick, smoked kielbasa, beer kielbasa, and hot pickled ring bologna. Well worth the long drive to stock up on their delicious sausages.

Best kielbasa, I drive from Hillsborough NJ to here every couple months to stock up and get for family in my area.
Bacon bombs, kielbasa sticks, kielbasa rings, sauerkraut and pierogies. Delicious.

Great deli that specializes in Polish foods. Some of my favorites are the fresh kielbasa (smoked is good, I just like this better), bacon bombs, kielbasa dip, and kielbasa sticks. But also too many things to list. There are always seasonal items as well, and breads, dips, potato pancake batter and much more ..

Nice small store, friendly clerks provided samples and suggestions. Probably the best sausage I have ever eaten. 90 minute roundtrip is well worth going there from home.
