    Definitely a little hidden gem. The market is great to browse; you probably won't be able to read every label but that's the fun right? Lots of pickles, Polish beers and liquors, jams, cooking and baking mixes, etc. The fridge and freezer sections seem to be the best: whole smoked mackerel and trout for cheap, plus tons of frozen pierogi flavors. The deli looks awesome, though we didn't try much. The smoked sausages are definitely on my list to try (perhaps to fry up with some of those pierogies) and they were all about $5-$7/lb. We got a roast beef sandwich and it was awesome. A huge pile of freshly sliced meat, two slices of cheese, a bunch of lettuce, couple slices of tomato and a thick spread of mayo (or horseradish), all on a really tasty crusty roll. The sandwiches are basic but delicious. They're all $5.75, too. It's a more substantial sandwich than you get at any chain sub places, that's for sure. They close at 6 (or earlier on the weekends) so plan accordingly. Will for sure be back for more sandwiches!

    I can only speak towards the deli sandwiches but it's a great deal at $5.75. A lot more meat and cheese than I was thinking would be in the sandwich. If this place was downtown Milwaukee there would be a line out the door at a few more dollars per sandwich. Definitely recommend.

    I stopped in for a sandwich one day and a week later I was back, stocking up on Polish meats and cheeses. Just the description of this place to my 100% Polish father has him excited to visit when he's on this side of town next week. This place is the real deal. I've drove past this place a million times, but it's rather unassuming so I never stopped in. After a few good reviews I decided to check it out, and the very modest deli and small list of 6 different sandwiches were still unimpressive. But once I took the time to take a look around, my attitude slowly started to change. This place is authentic European. Good luck reading some of the labels in the small grocery part of the deli, because most of them are in Polish and German. I was seeking out some Polish horseradish my first trip out (hard to find outside of Polish deli's). They not only had some that was straight outta Warsaw, but they also had Polska mustard. Now my sandwiches at home are awesome. Speaking of Sammie's, that first trip I ordered what they call "The Turkey Journey". The man at the counter started pulling out deli meat, shaving it in front of me and building one of the best sandwiches I've had in this fair city. A soft, delicious bun, slathered with brown mustard, stacked with a generous amount of deli turkey, topped with Swiss cheese, lettuce that was still crisp and tomatoes that tasted fresh. Absolutely unbelievable. Don't Stop Believin' in the Turkey Journey, Faithfully accept this sandwich with Open Arms. The next weekend, the Wifey was in a "Build your own sandwich" mode, so I suggested we stopped here for meat, and we went crazy. I spotted some regular Polish ham in the middle of the case and asked for a pound. The kind lady said "you can have that, but it's kind of regular. We have other Polish hams over here". The minute I saw them, I was already sold but then she started serving up samples. We tried the hams and ended up with the Polish Gypsy Ham, which was incredible. She also started serving up samples of the Polish cheeses, and even though we had cheese in the house, we immediately bought more from here upon first taste. I bought some Kielbasa as well and boiled it up the next night with onion, mustard seed and peppercorns and it was unbelievable. The deli counter here is second to none. I rounded out the trip buying some European rolls and a Strawberry and Cream Cheese strudel. I'm not sure if their bakery is in house, but it seems to be fresh, to the point that if they were warmed a little I'd be convinced they were fresh out the oven. The strudel had a great consistency; the outside was perfectly flaky with hardening the the filling in the cracks of the dough on top. I was very surprised, I didn't see these strudels on the weekday I was here, but on the weekend they were on a small tray behind the register. If you manage to find these, don't pass up on them, you'll be hard pressed to find better strudels. This place is totally deserving of five stars.

    My cousin and I dropped in to Old World Deli on a whim. We had driven to at least 4 bakeries that shall remain unnamed, but that claimed to have Polish pastries and didn't. It's a small place, but they had everything (everything!) we were looking for! Major score! Don't let the name fool you; this is not just a deli. Deli items, baked goods, pierogi, potato pancakes, and a variety of European delicacies! Drop in - the owners are friendly and helpful and you won't be disappointed by the selection!

    Cool little deli with a large selection of German and Polish grocery items available. They also serve freshly made sandwhiches which are outstanding. The meat is extremely flavorful, the veggies are fresh, and the roll is the perfect balance of soft on the inside and hard on the outside. Not to mention that the sandwhiches are enormous for a very reasonable price of around $5. You will never want to eat a Jimmy John's or Jersey Mike's sandwich ever again.

    Hubs and I stopped in after reading Eileen B's review. Neither of us had any idea this tiny deli/market existed as it's tucked away on the side of a strip mall near Southridge. First off, most of your fellow shoppers are likely Polish or Eastern European - we may have been the only native English speakers in the store. I was very pleased at the selection despite the small size of the store. They've got all the necessary things - pickled veggies, Polish jams, herbal teas, chocolates, cheese, bread, condiments and much more. There is a deli case with meats, cheese and sausages - many are from the excellent Andy's deli in Chicago. There's even a surprisingly large choice of Polish alcohol - several types of brandies and beer. The only thing they don't stock is produce. If you want a sandwich they'll make you one for about $4-5. Overall, the prices were reasonable and on par with larger stores so you are not paying a premium to shop here. Old World Deli is now firmly in my shopping rotation!

    This place is the best shop in Milwaukee for finding ethnic European foods. They have an assortment of mainly Polish and German foods but a few items from Russia and other eastern European countries. They have a deli with various meats and cheeses, canned and packaged goods, chocolates and other candies, as well as an array of liquor ranging from wines to fine Polish vodkas. Price ranges are also great so you can enter this place on a budget, too. Note: they also have an assortment of foreign magazines so if you speak German or an Eastern European language, check it out! The staff is also very nice. There is a little German lady working the register who loves talking about her life there. Last i was in, we spoke in German together and discussed the little cities we lived in or visited. She is also great for recommending products and is receptive to requests for products not in stock. Always very friendly!

    This place is awesome. Staff is super friendly and it's always an adventure picking out new products to try. I'm never disappointed by what i've walked out with either. The cheeses are fantastic and the prices are way better than sendiks and the cheese is superior anyway. I have decided to do as much of my shopping here as possible to support this fine business. Try it yourself and spread the word about this excellently priced deli. It's location gives it the short hand of the stick. It's conveniently located but not easily seen. I really encourage you to check it out. I never yelp businesses unless I feel strongly about them - this place has earned it.
