So who knew there was an awesome polish market/Deli/butcher a 5 minute drive from Main Street in Middletown? I didn't until my coworker mentioned Fil's. A small storefront in a strip mall a stones throw from route 9, chock full of polish candy, sauces, baked goods, pierogis, mustards, tea, juices etc. a very impressive selection for a compact space.
I bought kielbasa, blueberry pierogis and traditional potato pierogis, mustard and real cordial chocolates. Next time I will get the home made babka also you can get a fresh plate of pierogis cooked up to go for a tasty inexpensive lunch. Excellent quality, delicious and a fair price. Friendly service and they speak English unlike some of the grocery stores in New Britain. It is not huge but they had what I needed, I will be back! -

Unfortunately, I am basing this part of my review entirely on the fact that their online ordering process is no longer working. This one star review is not based on the food. I stick by my original four star rating as it relates to their food.
Although I love the food that Fil's has to offer, I'm extremely disappointed that I can no longer order from them online. I've ordered online before but it no longer works. Their website should tell you that you can't order online but instead it allows you to get all the way through the process of putting in your order, your credit card information, shipping address, shipping method, etc..., even gives you a total cost... only to tell you that the merchant is down.
I called and tried to order via phone and was told they only accept email orders and that they cannot estimate shipping charges until they go to UPS with your package. By that time, it's too late to change your mind if the shipping cost is too high and they told me it might be $30 for my small order.... I assume their online business is small otherwise they'd correct this problem but unfortunately for me, that means no good Fil's polish food unless I'm in CT. I expressed my disappointment but all they did was politely apologize. If they valued their online customers as much as they do their in-store clientele, they'd try a little harder. -

I had been meaning to stop in for a few years, but always seemed to forget when I was in the immediate area. I managed to remedy that situation recently and found this tiny deli tucked way back in an nondescript shopping plaza. On entering I was disappointed to find both the pierogies and soup were frozen. After checking out what was available, I purchased a small container of white borsch plus a dozen cheese and potato pierogies. Since I regularly frequent Little Poland in New Britain, I was not overly impressed by either the soup or pierogies though I would consider possibly purchasing a sandwich for lunch should I find myself in the area again.

Generally, an excellent market especially for meats. I have been a shopper in the store for several years and have never been disappointed with the kielbasa.
While some of the meat and vegetable pierogis are excellent, I was disappointed with two of the dessert pierogis I recently purchased. Both the blueberry and strawberry products had little or no taste with the strawberry being the worst. It was not clear there was any actual fruit in them. Rather it appeared to be mainly food coloring mixed with farmers cheese.
I have not made them myself but will look for recipes that include fruit preserves and try my luck.
Fils might want to consider another supplier, or if store made, some other recipe. As currently sold, these products are not worth the price. -
