It was my very first visit to this store and I agree that the store looks quite trashy. I used to live in VA where there are multiple Polish stores and the owners make sure the stores look very presentable because they compete with each other for their customers.
The lady behind the register on Sunday (Dec 10) was the rudest person on this planet. She basically was doing me a favor for answering my questions and then she was mocking me when I was surprised that they already did not have the famous Polish cookies - delicje - and Ptasie Mleczko in stock. This is the only store I know of and it is 1.5 hrs away from me, but I doubt that I will ever spend my money there for this kind of customer service. Also ‚kisiel’ was sold 50% off due to being expired and the expiration date was crossed out with a marker, so I was not able to see how old that thing was once I got home.

Came here with my father, as we were returning from our trip heading back to San Antonio, and we were excited to check this store out. I asked this older woman in Polish about a couple unmarked items, to gain clarity on what it was. The way she responded to me was atrocious. I didn't take it personal at the first, but being native I was not expecting to be spoken in such a negative manner. Afterwards I had asked if she had another traditional soup called Flaki, she rudely told me "IDK, probably not, go ask someone else". This killed the experience and we decided not to get anything else after that point. Very unwelcoming to your own natives. Seems like many people are getting this treatment based on the below comments. It's sad to see such poor customer service, and lose of business. I would not and we will not return to this store. I would advise others to stay away as well. We spend nearly $200, and likely would have spent quite a bit more too. At the very end she ended up being our cashier. She didn't say anything just had a disgusted look the entire time. You'd expect a thank you at the very end and there was none of that. She did mention being sick today. But as I've combed through the reviews, I don't find that to be the case. True shame, does not represent our people well.

I will no longer be shopping here. The lady behind the counter continues to be rude and very unwelcoming. Today, I asked if the candies had alcohol and she said, “no”. They were for my students. Luckily, my husband checked online and tasted the candies, before I took them to class. Turns out, they did have alcohol. I’ve tried to give her the benefit of the doubt, but she may be the rudest person on this planet. I’ve been to Poland and I was treated a lot better there. I suggest to order online from another store.

Worst experience I’ve ever had walking inside of any establishment, the smell as soon as you walk in, very pungent sewage, hardly anything in there is edible it looks like they haven’t rotated their shelves in years, still the same stuff since years ago

I was looking for something I hadn't seen in years. They had it and more
I drove 3 hours to get some polish food and I was not disappointed.

Lady behind the counter was very rude and, I am a nurse and I only went to this store for my patient, due to the fact she likes to shop here and my client is from Poland and she shops here, all I was trying to find a certain item and I asked the lady at the counter, and she was very rude, and I guess since I'm a person of color of another race she felt the need to be rude to me, referring that this was the wrong address and this was a polish store, I knew what store I have brought my client here many times, she's been rude to my client and she is from Poland. She really needs to work on her customer service skills. I will never go back there, and neither will my client. She was very rude and I didn't deserve that. If you are not from Poland, and you are person of color or another race, don't go there unless you want bad service

Not that many polish stores in Houston unfortunately. Owners seem nice. They been running the business for along time. Be nice if the restaurant was still open but I understand the economy is terrible and could be hard to manage at their age without help with family if any of them are still around to help them. Seems like a nice couple. Just wish they had help to run the store so they could take some well needed time off. Just my observation! I went in today with my wife and 2 boys to so show them some of my culture of food from my side of the family being polish.

If you like pierogies and smoked sausage and various other Polish staples then this place is for you!

Good selection of smoked meats and polish goodies. Bought several kielbasas for taste tasting - great quality

Man and woman said hello upon my entering.no, may I help you or welcome. I looked around.purchased two different meats for a total of $4.30.
Man did talk to me about the meats, but no other conversation.
Cashier Viktoriya was somewhat rude.and treated me as if I was stupid. I didn't know how to count to 4.
I was attempting to give her $4- ones and. 30 cent.
She kept repeating I owed her a $1.00. I said hold up Ma'am with a smile.she kept saying she needed a $1.and she was quick to how smart she was on adding adding and thinking.
Keep in mind I was still digging it my purse for a dollar bill or some change.there were no person (s) behind me, and it was a good 3 hours to closing time.
I won't be returning, not because she had a negative attitude.
I don't speak the Polish language.
Meat good. Store clean. Food packages clean.
I am happy I made my 1st trip to the Polish store.

Always a treat visiting the Polish Food Store! Last visit there, found the potato salad my mother made growing up. It's not exactly like hers, but was still extremely delicious! Walking into the Polish store takes me back to some of the stores back in Poland and other Polish communities. Definitely a must to visit!

Only Polish grocery store in the greater Houston area to my knowledge, so good enough. Close to only Polish church as well, so also convenient. Small deli, mediocre service.

Although smaller than I'm used to (being from a Polish town in NJ). That being said, I was quite pleased with my experience at the Polish food store. They had most of the items I was looking for and the price for these items were fair.
My family and I tried the kabanosy as soon as I got home.we were happy.
Can't give you a report on the kielbasa until Monday (it's for Easter).
In short, I'll be back!

They do have a decent selection of foods, however a little concerned about items that say "keep refrigerated" that are on regular shelves. I would say be selective.

As you can see by my name, I am not Polish or of Polish descent. However, I would be hard pressed to name another store offering authentic Polish foods and products. What makes this place more special is the fact there is a Polish restaurant next door. Shop here to satisfy your curiosity and pick up a couple of donuts for a sweet treat.

Kasza gryczana jest złej jakości! Nie polecam zakupu tego przedmiotu w tym sklepie.

Buckwheat is of poor quality! I do not recommend buying this item from this store.
