Adams may very well be the best Polish deli anywhere. I grew up on his products living only two blocks away. It's not only the kielbasy but the cold cuts as well. It's also the only place that I've ever seen that sells Thuman's liver cap.
Just a great place. -
Review from Linda P.
My Polish grandma lived 2 blocks away from Adam's and this is the kielbasa that I grew up eating. Who knew that I was lucky enough to be eating New Jersey's best kielbasa my whole life!
Adam's is a small, Polish butcher/bodega type store on a small street in Wallington, right across from the Police Station. They smoke all their hams and kielbasa on location and many times I have smelled the delicious aromas wafting from the smoker out back when I got out of my car. The homemade kielbasa is just out of this world. Garlicky with virtually no fat or gristle. The thought of ever eating a supermarket kielbasa just turns my stomach because I have been so spoiled by Adam's.
In addtion to kielbasa, Adam's also sells traditional, home made Polish food such as pierogi, stuffed cabbage and polish donuts and cookies that they keep by the register. I have had the little walnut cookies and while I like them, my husband thinks they taste dry.
Inside the deli case, in addition to a variety of hams and different pork products are these little gems called: KABANOSY. This is basically a Polish "slim jim." They are like mini, slow-smoked and then dried kielbasa. We always buy a couple of these to munch on in the car for our drive home. If you like Slim Jim, you gotta give one of these babies a try.
Adam's takes credit cards. Ample street parking. All the employees speak Polish but also fluent in English-albeit with a heavy accent.(which is more than I can say for Piast in Garfield, but that's another review).
One final tidbit that I discovered about Adam's is that they will vacuum seal a kielbasa for you free of charge. An unopened vacuum-sealed package will stay good for 3-4 weeks. An opened package will stay good for 1-2 weeks. (don't forget, the kielbasa is already cooked/smoked)
Why would you vacuum seal a kielbasa you ask?? So you can send it as a gift!! That is how I discovered Adam's courtesy vacuum seal; holiday customers were ordering multiple kielbasa's vacuum sealed and mailing them as gifts. I still have a girlfriend who moved out of the area and excitedly calls me every year thanking me for her "Christmas Kielbasa"
So the next time you want to serve a unique and tasty appetizer, fire up the grill and throw one of these delicious kielbasa on it. Your guests will rave!!! -

This is a Polish butcher shop/store that has the best kielbasa. We sampled different types of kielbasa from several local stores and this is the best one. Store is small so you get to know everyone but definiteley a great Polish ethnic location!!
Even bought a bunch to bring back home for the family in SC. -

This is a typical Polish (they also speak English) butcher shop that has everything - meats, pierogies, etc. I have been here multiple times for the Kielbasa (single and double smoked) and Kabanos. Those 3 items, whole strands, will run approximately 15-18$ depending on weight. Best Kielbasa in the area - perhaps because I have smelled them smoking it in the back of the butcher shop a few times when coming to pick it up. The meat quality is very good with not too much fat and bigger pieces of meat. I almost never find pieces of bone in the Kielbasa.
The only reason this they get 4 stars is because nothing is priced in the store - items on the shelves, the meats, nothing. However, they dont gouge non-Poles as my GF has gotten the Kielbasa for me (now that she works closer to Wallington than me) and has paid the same price as I usually pay. Finally, despite the lack of signs, they do take credit card and have a machine off to the side. -

I know that food and it's rating is a personal choice. What might be good for one person will not be the same for another. But Adam's has the best homemade kielbasi in the world. Yes, the world. Adams is a butcher shop as well as a store with Polish specialities. Teddy and Andy have some of the finest meats for the home. We buy our steaks, ribs and veal from them. But they are best known for their home-made kielbasi. They have a smoke house out back in the garage to make their kielbasi. You never find any fat because , hey, thy're the butchers and it's supposed to be made right. And it is. I have been in the store where people have driven 100's of miles to pick them up and bring the links back home. They are that good. They also make home-made potato and macaroni salad as well as home made horschradish to compliment the kielbasi. Enough, enough, I'm getting hungry. Just go there...
