Peter's parents, Stanley and Helen, started the family business with its original location at 2976 N. Milwaukee Ave near St. Hyacinth's church also known as Jackowo. Stanley and Helen came as immigrants to the United States from Poznan, Poland and set up Bacik's Deli in the northwest part of Chicago.

Even though these Polish deli meats are quite good and self-made, the lady behind the counter is so unpleasant that it is going to make you swear you won't go there anymore. It is very surprising the owners don't care about having more customers. Well, what isn't surprising is that this place is almost always empty. That's a pity. It could have been a great small deli.

A very small shop selling home made sausages, hams, different traditional meat products. Go on Friday morning for the best selection and the freshest stuff.

Best Polish meats in the Chicago area. Try the raw smoked Canadian bacon (poledwica surowa wedzona) and tell them to slice it thin. Some of the ladies speak English but be patient with them (they might be grumpy) or you'll get kicked out and nobody will care about your bad review on the internet.

I have been there a couple of times and every time I go there I have to ask to be helped because they don’t acknowledge you. No hello or how may I help you either. Rude and not sanitary. Last time I went it they were closing down and they were taking down the meat and putting it away in the fridge with no gloves on. At least don’t do it in front of the costumers. Won’t be returning and won’t recommend.

Always buy a smoked pork shoulder and potatoes. This time asked for a sandwich, it was good. Later my stomach was upset. Thought back and remembered that the serving lady took off one glove to do rhe register. Put the glove on the counter, then put it back on to make my sandwich. This to my knowledge is not standard operating procedure. Fresh gloves should be put on every time one is taken off. The counter and the register have been used my other employees.

Great selection and not too big of a place. Seemed perfect for your lunch meal or daily fresh food buys. Bought some pickles and they were expired so check your dates, just like anywhere else. Otherwise a convenient store for your daily grocery needs, recommended!
