    Salt of the earth owners/workers who just want their customers to be happy and keep coming back! Cash or Venmo only. Best garlic kielbasa we've ever tasted. Many different pierogi varieties in stock at all times. Babka, mustards, sauerkraut, etc. Parking is EXTREMELY limited. If you're trying to get an order before a holiday, trust me, order in advance or you'll be standing in line for hours! Worth it, but...

    Indulged in the most authentic Polish treats - Kabasa and pierogies galore! Tip: Arrive early during the holidays; the line wraps the building, but it's worth the wait for the freshness and flavor. A taste of Poland right in the heart of Philly Pro Tip: have them slice up their version of pork roll for you to take home and make breakfast sandwiches!!

    The best Kielbasa in America. The staff is super friendly. Great options , Great prices.

    After years of hearing about this place, I finally stood in line here for my taste about a week ago. Yes, the kielbasa is everything that everyone says it is. I've been cooking it in chili, with eggs, on a roll with mustard, and every time it's been perfect. And the mustard... they sell the Pilsudski local brand and I'm in love with it. I may go back just to get that. I also got a hold of a loaf of babka that is decadent, and the kabanosa was perfect to snack on while driving back to Delco. It will be worth the drive again and again.

    The best Pierogis I've ever had. I purchased them frozen and prepared at home. They were spectacular!! They have several options with a variety of fillings. I bought a package of Pierogis and bun for some kielbasa I had already purchased from somewhere else. That was my biggest regret. I wish I had bought everything from this place. Everything in their shop looked amazing. I highly recommend. They also were selling a kielbasa burger that I wanted in my life immediately, but they were sold out. Go now. You won't regret. Actually you would regret because I'm writing this at 7:30pm on a Saturday and they are closed. But definitely go during their operating hours and you will be extremely impressed by how delicious their products are.

    Love their kielbasa and pierogi but they changed the babka baker. Not the same cheese babka my family loved. This one seemed stale.

So 1 cow heart, 5 lbs of chicken wings, 2 large smoked cow bones, 1 turkey backbone, 2 turkey wings, 1 neck, 1lb of gizzards, 4lbs of bacon, 3 cornish hens and 6 steaks-- over 70lbs of food--- that he had to huff around that market!! cuz he said he could.. I was very impressed but anyway... 1. Service here is exceptional- I don't buy my meats anywhere else here at the terminal. 2. Best prices and quality for what you need 3. THAT BACON is amazing 4. They also carry other big game meat and I love that the venison is always fresh and makes my venison chili and stew perfect. I've been buying meats and specialty meats here for years, def worth the drive. Plus- 2hrs of free parking with proper validation- just remember what door you came in, cuz thats the door that takes you to the proper elevator in the parking structure.

    The Italian hoagie at $11 for a whole is excellent, fresh roll with thinly sliced nitrate-cured…read moremeats and provolone, plenty but not too much, add as many vegetables like onions lettuce peppers and tomato as you like. My dining companion argued strenuously that pickles have no place on a hoagie but I ignored him lol. I skipped the mayo tho. Surprisingly Dan takes credit cards and Apple Pay, $5 min. He keeps long hours for such a simple sandwich shop. Dan's used to be a butcher & convenience store, maybe back in 1947. Now the shelves are mostly empty except for chips soda and milk, and the butcher case mostly has coleslaw and deli meats. It's actually kind of depressing if you walk to the back. Next time I'll get a meatball or tuna hoagie. Vegetarian rating: one star, they don't even try.

Its a small old school deli that slices the meat to order and provides service with a smile. I was working in Fishtown and checked yelp real quick to see if there was a new spot nearby that I could try for lunch. Dan's had very good reviews and it was less than 5 minutes away. I think its a husband and wife that run this place but I wasn't 100% sure. I ordered a large Italian hoagie and woman behind the counter grabbed the roll from the clear bin in front of the counter and the gentlemen sliced the meat fresh for my Italian and added peppers, oil & vinegar and SPO. There are not many places that still operate like a true old school deli and I really enjoyed it. As she handed me the hoagie she asked if I had ever been there before to which I answered "no." She said well you'll be back. I loved the confidence and she was 100% right! If you are in the area and love a good Italian hoagie Dan's is a must try.

    I feel every time I've walked by here, it's been closed. Today was Vetri day after going to…read moreFiorella, so why not go to another Vertri (minority owned) venue? No disrespect at all to Heather Thomason, because this really is her brain child. I've loved following her for a few years now and was happy her kickstarter was backed. I really wanted to contribute and fought for it a bit, but it was backed before I made up my mind. I did wrestle with it for a bit, about what package I would get, but I knew it would be logistically hard to support. We walked in and saw a lot of interesting items. Duck Eggs really caught our eye, but we didn't want to carry them around with us. Decided to leave the store, go to ITV for a drink, and come back before they closed at 6:00 PM. Ordered a nice cut of flank steak and the duck eggs. Maybe for a Kangaroo burger later this week? I just love the idea here, where Primal wants to be more interconnected with farms. I'm really into better quality eggs now, for when we make pasta or things like that. Knowing what the animal ate, really helps make a better product when egg is the star.

    I loved the stories and reputation that Heather Thomason set during her time at Kensington…read moreQuarters. And although I still haven't gotten around to trying it during that time, I was looking forward to her and Cecille May's commitment to make sustainable, pasture-raised meat more readily available to Philadelphia when they branched out on their own for Primal Supply Meats (https://www.phillymag.com/foobooz/2016/05/31/kensington-quarters-butcher-heads-out-on-her-own/). And when I sampled their offerings at spots like Stargazy, Garage, and Tired Hands Fermenteria it added up to some of the best meat dishes I've had. While they did an amicable job of providing their meats to restaurants and farmers markets, Primal Supply really needed a butcher shop of their own to better prepare Philly for the carnivore cravings that their meats illicit. And when I heard that they were set to open a few blocks away from me in the spot that used to house the old East Passyunk hardware store (https://www.phillymag.com/foobooz/2017/12/15/primal-supply-butcher-shop-east-passyunk/), it lead to some of the best sausages that I've had (and I say this as a Cappuccio's die hard! - https://www.yelp.com/biz/cappuccios-meats-philadelphia). the bacon & thyme pork sausage was sweet yet smoky and savory at the same time. And the pork Vindaloo yielded an ample amount of Indian spices and heat. Add in the ability to get beef, pork, chicken, liver, lamb, goat stew, and even pet food, and you'll find a huge variety of options. They also carry local cheeses from the likes of Birch Run Farms, pasta from Severino, and the oppotunity to join their pay as you go Butcher's Club meat program, making it another solid addition to East Passyunk!
