Marczyk Fine Foods - Denver, Colorado

Brent Bulger

Really disappointed with the direction I see them going. I've shopped here for a decade and gotten my Thanksgiving turkey from them for the last 5 years. This year was a wildly different experience and when I called to ask for help and give feedback, I was transferred to "meat and seafood" who seemed too busy to bother and just explained away all my issues with excuses. I went to pick up my turkey and was told that I hadn't stuck closed enough to my appointment window and would have to come back, turned away empty-handed. After making a second trip down there, I ended up paying $20 more than I was quoted when I reserved the turkey. In years past, I was able to pay in full online ahead of time, but this year was just given an estimate and charged a deposit. I reserved a smaller turkey because I have a smaller party to feed. I was given a bird over the range I selected and charged more than I paid last year. All of this was merely inconvenient, but I was happy with my purchase given past experience so I went home.

Then I discovered that the turkey was frozen solid. I couldn't get it open to brine. So I left it to defrost overnight in the fridge. 24 hours later, it's still full of ice but manageable. The man on the phone says that it was just on the bottom of the cooler and that's how they come. I paid for a fresh turkey angled got a frozen one. One that threw off my prep timing as well. His suggested solution was to "just leave it out on the counter for an hour." I really hope that's not how they handle their meat in store.

Then giblets came pouring out loose. There was a bag of organs and additional extra livers falling out of the cavity. Just not the quality I am paying for. Finally, the bird had 5 large black spots that I assumed were variation on feathers or skin, but it was still concerning so I decided to call. The man was very dismissive and obviously too busy to be bothered. He told me as long as it doesn't smell, it's fine. But no one heard my concerns or my experience. No one bothered to offer to help. Just "do you have any more questions bud?" I will not be getting a turkey here again.

This is a loved local high-end grocery store with an awesome deli and lots of good prepared food. There’s a great liquor store attached that features a lot of organic wine and craft beer. During the summer, they do burger night on Friday nights and it’s some of the best burgers in Denver.

A very nice market. The owners of the store are Polish and it certainly shows in the stores selection. They have so many quality food options. They are one of the only places around Denver I can find some quality dark chocolate. They have a large selection of fine meats, cheeses, bread, snacks, water, wine, you name it. I will certainly be shopping here routinely.

Marczyk Fine Foods. Off 17th. Denver Colorado. Showed up today go do business today at opening hour Sunday July 21st 2024. Was told by owner , "they were expensive and probably not opening right away because they flooded the store overnight . "
.
I understand his concern with flood damage and flood insurance possible wall removal, patchwork can be very mind troubling.
.
Hopfully next time won't be so bad.

Great little local market. Decided to go here to get a few things. The store is a good size, well stocked and organized, and great staff! The staff at the butcher were friendly and had quick service. I love their baguettes. Their always delicious and fresh and are at a good price ($5) . So is their selection of chocolate. Overall, great market. Would recommend this market if you’re near this location.

Their is also another location at Colfax & Fairview. Check it out!

I was quite disappointed with market. Maybe it was great when opened but not anymore. First of all strong food cooked food. You are five minutes in there and you need to do a laundry. Maybe I expected it to be a store sourced from Eastern Europe but there are no such items at all.

Been going marczyk’s for years, and have put up with their incredibly high prices because they do have good products. HOWEVER it has reached a new level of greed. Beyond the state imposed 10 cent bag fee, they feel entitled to change an extra 15cents (without the cashier informing you) on top of that. I purchased a sandwich for $14 dollars. I don’t mind paying that for a sandwich if it’s large and well filled however I got a smooshed tiny sandwich. Will not be going back anymore
