Polish kielbasa is a coarse-textured smoked garlic sausage made from pork shoulder and back fat, served grilled or boiled on rye with mustard.

Polish kielbasa reached Milwaukee with the Polish immigrant wave of the 1880s and 1890s, who settled the South Side around Lincoln Village. The Polonia neighborhood and South Side delis still produce kielbasa from family recipes; Maciolek Bakery and Sausage on South 17th Street and Srodek's in Hamtramck-style production are canonical sources. Polish Fest at the lakefront each June draws crowds for kielbasa, pierogi and Polish beer.
