When my family is having an event- we go here for the Special Occasion Meat. Thanksgiving smoked…read moreturkey? It's the perfect consistency and flavor- I could focus on this instead of drinking heavily to drown out my family's opinions about RFK Jr during our feast. Mother's Day Bratwurst cookout? Select your type- they have Philly cheesesteak, Big Grove Beer battered, Korean short rib, creole, and mango habanero. All of them slap like a disgraced debutante whose promenade partner got fresh behind the ice sculpture. Driving to the East Side of Iowa city and simply want a top shelf Cuban Sandwich? Well tough shit for you, they don't have it on the top shelf; it's made fresh in front of your face. (In terms of quality though I will put that in a tip shelf). Finally, the staff are helpful and knowledgeable. The usual stereotype I have of a butcher is a really beefy and gruff dude with chronic meat sweats, who pals around with a baker and candlestick maker (why is that a job btw, that seems like a hobby at best). These guys don't look like that- giving me a lesson in stereotypes and judging books via their cover. As I chomp down on my deliciously spiced sausages, I realize that both my horizons and waistline have expanded. Finally, it is pronounced Toe-Ma's. Get that wrong and they will laugh at you, and you will deserve it.

This place is our favorite local neighborhood spot for grocery staples, lunch sandwiches in a pinch…read moreand awesome grill meats.

I just love their re-structured bacon (breakfast strips) I think it fries up easier than bacon (no…read morecurling and splattering). The staff at Polashek's is friendly and helpful. Go on Saturdays when they have free samples! We discovered this place from a friend of ours who grew up around Protivin and suggested we "Czech" them out. It's the only place I know of where I can get jaternice (a sausage very similar to the "oatmeal sausage" my grandfather made) About every 6 months a group of us makes a trip down from Rochester to purchase their awesome products. Keep up the good work Polashek's!

I learned about this place from the Travel Channel. They make the most fantastic jaternice (a…read moreCzech sausage which includes pork tongue, pork snouts, barley, etc.). It's a crumbly product that you can cook in the morning with scrambled eggs, enjoy in a gravy, and so forth. The flavor and consistency is awesome! I also bought some pork and apple brats that were quite tasty. The snacking sticks made with beef, jalapeno, and pepper jack cheese were top quality, too. The meat locker is just a couple of minutes away from Bohemian creek - a great place to trout fish and primitive camp. I'll be back for sure this year! Check out this place when you are near Cresco and Spillville. You'll be glad you did!
