Pollok's

Nestled on North Front Street in the quiet town of Falls City, Texas, Pollok's Market and Deli is a fifth‑generation family‑owned operation that has been turning a 150‑year‑old Polish recipe into some of South Texas’ most beloved sausages. Founder Marcian Pollok arrived from Upper Silesia in 1854 with a secret blend for authentic Polish kielbasa, a tradition his descendants have expanded into nine wholesale routes reaching from the Hill Country to the Coastal Bend. Visitors can step inside the modest deli to see rows of smoked pork and beef sausages, including the pure pork smoked sausage, the beef‑and‑pork “Wedding Brand,” the jalapeño‑and‑cheese “Wedding Brand,” the breakfast “Lil Porkies,” and the beer‑friendly “Dobra Kielbasa Do Piwa” with its spicy kick. The menu also features smoked bacon, hams and hand‑crafted jerky, all produced without fillers, cereals or artificial colors. Daily lunch specials showcase the house‑made sausages on fresh bread, accompanied by pickles and a cold Texas beer. The interior retains a rustic charm with reclaimed wood tables, family photographs dating back to 1854, and the aroma of slowly smoking meat filling the air. Open daily for lunch, Pollok's welcomes locals and travelers alike; the friendly staff are happy to share the family story and recommend the perfect sausage pairing. For orders, call (830) 254‑3241 or email pol‑marsocial@hotmail.com. Whether you’re passing through on Highway 181, 45 miles south of San Antonio, or exploring the surrounding Hill Country, a stop at Pollok's offers a genuine taste of Polish heritage in Texas.
