Wally’s Market III

Overpriced store. Meat, ham, sausages are not really fresh! One advice-​CHECK EXPIRATION DATES on everything.

Fantastic European market, fresh Polish sausages, Hams, breads and some super yummy homemade soups.

They have expensive stuff. Meat are expensive, vegetables, soda and other.
If u don’t go to other different grocery stores often then u don’t know what I’m talking about.

Regular here, the prices are pretty good and sometimes you can buy stuff super chap if on sale! Good Polish deli store. They change often the cashiers but they service is always fast and good! If you spend more than $ 5 they can offer you free coffee, just show them the receipt.

I don’t speak Polish, but I shop here since their deli meats are delish. Be warned, there is always a line a their deli counter, I wonder why :) I also like the huge variate of international products! Their breads are also good, especially if you happen to be there right when they get them out of the oven. The produce section has a good variety and it’s fresh.

I came here after reading a review on Unilocal.I have to say I was only mildly impressed. At the deli counter, a lot of their meats were advertised as «Homemade» but were all processed by company called Belmont’s. I’ve been searching the area polish deli’s for fresh Kiska which they did not have either. Also on their website they advertise that they make fresh Paczki’s daily yet they had none when I went. The only item I bought which I’m looking forward to trying is their own Polish Rye bread. They really didn’t offer anything special to make the drive from Palatine to Mt. Prospect in the future but I will stop again if I am in the area.

The should rename it Wally’s Market I because the other two are no more. I miss the one on Milwaukee Avenue in the city because it wasn’t that far for me.
The deli section is always mobbed here and there’s a good reason for it. The sausages and meats are good. I think they still make their own lunch meats. The produce section is adequate with really good prices. If I’m passing by I’ll stop here once in a while to pick up buns (bulki wodne) which I think are great.

Little far because I am in Elmhurst anyway Slaska Sausage is the best for grill and all my. friends always ask me where I buy this stuff I will definitely come back for more next week

This would be a 4 or 5 star place if it weren’t for the language barrier, but there are better places within walking distance of here that don’t have that problem.

I love Wally’s! It’s super ethnic — lots of Polish/​Hungarian goodies that I don’t know. The deli smells amazing. The butcher cut up my pork hock for me. There is a decent hot foods section and the bakery is fantastic. You cannot beat the prices. 99 cents for 5 lb potatoes? Yes, please!

I recently found this grocery store a couple months ago and have been going there ever since. My boyfriend is Russian/​Ukrainian and there are a lot of products here that are used in traditional recipes he enjoys. The deli section is great and affordable, most of the staff are friendly some are a little standoffish. I’m not polish, I’m Norwegian but look Irish so no one has ever spoke polish to me here.
Their cheese selection is fabulous as well as their meats. I bought some very good spare ribs here that were mouth watering. The candy isle is straight from Europe which I love. Being Norwegian there is a very slim selection of fish and smoked salmon is my guilty pleasure. Some days it’s there some days it’s not. Also there is some sheep cheese I love but I’ve only seen it once.
It’s definitely worth going to if you enjoy polish, Russian, German or Greek cuisine. Love this place. :)

Love this place. My husband just moved here from Poland 4 years ago and if it weren’t for Wally’s, I think he’d move back home. Authentic, well cooked Polish food, amazing fresh rolls, nice clerks, good prices, clean… what’s not to like?

You don’t need to speak Polish in this store. True, most of the personnel does– but they have Spanish and Russian speaking clerks as well.
But I don’t go there to socialize just to get the best tasting ham /​homemade or german /​money can buy !
Not only it’s fresh but the price is about ¹⁄₃ of what you’d expected to pay at a Dominicks deli or similar stores.
Produce department is OK, not many choices, but will do.
I love their bread but not the sweets. They are too greasy and heavy.
They have their own local brand — Babica which maybe isn’t the best but half price of the imported equivalent.
It takes me about 30 minutes from Barrington to get there .
Well worth the trip.

Convenient Chicago suburb deli with great Polish meats and cheeses. I commute from Milwaukee at least once a month to pick up some great meats. The dill chicken is my favorite. Besides the great selection of meats and cheeses, there’s a produce section, bakery, and hot bar with traditional Polish foods. The dry foods tend to be marked up, however worth it if you want to try some new foods. It would be great if Wally’s opened up shop closer to the border :)

Had a great experience at Wally’s! The food that I purchased was both low priced and delicious. Service was wonderful. I would definitely suggest stopping in at Wally’s!!!

Very affordable. I stop by once in a while. Kind of dark inside and the flooring could be better (your cart will cause noice all the time due to uneven floor) but overall they offer a big value (affordable and quality is good).

So this place is awesome! Their deli and bakery departments rock. I love the entire meat section and the frozen and prepackaged items they have available. Their downfall is in the produce department because the veggies & fruit don’t look «fresh» at all. Oh, and if you are white they will address you in polish automatically — don’t take offense but Wallys is known for their Polish food selection therefore mainly poles shop there.

I love this store
Sausages here are very low priced, large selections. I shop here at least twice a month.
Raw meat is cheap too. Fruits and vegetables don’t have many varieties, but price is reasonable.
Just like most Polish stores, staff don’t speak English well except for the younger ones, but they are very friendly and helpful.
By the way, I may be the only Chinese shopping there.

I can’t speak Polish– but the food is really good here– the fresh bread is worth the trip. I do get my fresh produce elsewhere. And yes! their selection of chocolate is great and sometimes very cheap (they might have a special on a really good chocolate bar for less than $ 1…- buy it– whatever it is… you won’t be disappointed). Sometimes their kabanosie (long thin sausage from the deli) doesn’t make it home– it is that good. This is a great place to shop for Polish food in a large American style grocery store setting.

Maybe 3 stars if you can’t speak Polish. If you’re white and especially if you have blondish hair, expect to be addressed in Polish wherever you may be in the store. The only reason not to give them 5 stars is their produce section leaves much to be desired in quality. Prices are awesome on most of the deli, bread and meat, as well as Polish specialty imports like soups, chocolates, and seasoning mixes.
The bakery, located between the produce and deli, has beautiful loaves of bread, rolls, and assorted pastries on display that it makes it hard to pass by without buying something. The deli is huge and has great prices on ham & cheeses.
I think this is the nicest and cleanest of the 3 Wally’s stores, the other 2 located in Chicago’s Polish enclaves on Belmont/​Milwaukee and the NW side on Irving/​Narragansett.
One thing I ALWAYS buy when I go there: «karczek wedzony». Smoked pork butt. Get a whole 3-​pounder, put that in a rotisserie for 1 hr, 15 min and it is the juiciest, most mouth-​watering pork roast or ham you’ll ever have for dinner!
