First off.....I hope they are still making the same KOLBASI as Froehlich did....since it was sold to another owner in 2024. AND ..... as I have ALWAYS SAID....If anyone uses the word "kielbassa" just consider it is CRAP....might as well buy Hillshires garbage from a supermarket!!!! We normally drove up from Virginia once a year to buy 50 to 100 pounds of KOLBASI and bacon and REAL skinned wieners, REAL Tube Steaks! (25 years ago I had them make 500 pounds for a Block Party being held in my neighborhood when I lived in St. Louis area. Had to rent a U-haul truck to pack it on ice to bring it back!! People went nuts on it!! They NEVER knew what REAL AUTHENTIC....KOLBASI tasted like!) We didn't make the trip in 2025 but were just planning for this Spring when I saw they sold out to a new owner. Not sure if my supplier of REAL....KOLBASI will be the same or if I have to search for some other AUTHENTIC KOLBASI Maker??!! .....and "kolbasi" is NOT spelled with 2 "s". ONLY someone that isn't an Aunthenic Hunky would spell it wrong......and their web page is calling it "kielbassa" which may be a sign that the new owners are making CRAP?? read more

Since Froehlich has changed hands their Holiday Sausage is not very good hard and rubber like not the same Froehlich recipe so upset, wish they hadn't sold-out to someone who changed perfection read more

What a bummer! To have to find a new meat guy this late in life and after such a long association. But, it's become too much of a variable to keep using Froehlich's stuff. For more than 40 years, I bought countless slabs of bacon, yards of kielbasi and other goodies from them, so, I'm not judging them by their last act. I've excused the beautiful-looking, 1 1/4" thick Porterhouse, grilled perfectly that was too tough to pursue eating, the bits of bone found in ground beef and Kielbasi, the vacuum packaged beef tenderloin which gave off a dangerous odor once it's plastic was breached and more. The last time I bought bacon from Froehlich's, it was so sub-par, the meat cutter hesitated to sell it to me after looking at it. What can I say? When Froehlich's bacon turns up lame, it's time to move on. read more

Best kielbasa or kolbassi around. Friendly staff as well. I drive 4 hours to get their fresh meat.

Really Good Sausage. German touch of taste like what we used to get at Dryer's Meat Mkt in Three Oaks Michigan. Fro has a great thing going.

I have been a customer for over a decade and have never been disappointed with quality, value, and customer service. Great family run business with high standards. Recommend this shop to everyone looking for quality and value. I only shop here or buy from grocers who carry Froehlich products. Everytime we stop we are treated like old friends. read more

This is going to be a short review because I wrote a longer 1 for 20 min. and I accidentally erased it. This is probably the best butcher/meat packing I've been to. Holiday kilbasi (positive I messed up the spelling) - 3 lbs. for under $10. The sausage is the best I've ever had! Was looking at the steaks also and they are very reasonably priced. I found the place walking to the entrance to Stackhouse park. Passed here 100's of times and never know this was here. The parking lot was packed and I quickly realized why when I went in. Best kept secret in the West End. That being said, the customer service leaves alot to be desired. The ladies behind the counters were barking questions to people and would get the meat products for them but wouldn't answer simple questions. I didn't even know if there was a line or a # system. It makes me coin the term "Sausage Nazi(s)". read more

I love this butcher shop! I don't live in the area anymore, but it is always on my list when I make it back to town. Their jalapeño/cheese smoked sausage is off the charts! I have never made this where it wasn't the talk of the party! I wish there were more places like it... read more

Jalapeno cheddar kielbasa and garlic bologna are off the chain. If you like meat, get it here.
