… Starting at 1:00 PM …
reserve now   see the Menu

What is ‘Big Stash’s anyway ?

It’s a restaurant on South Wood Avenue in Linden, NJ .. Just 1 Block off of Route #1 that has not changed since the 1950s and to say that ‘Big Stash’s’ is an institution is an understatement !

Today we would call this an ‘ethnic’ eatery offering foods from Eastern Europe, primarily from Poland and it’s bordering countries     .. and what foods: Corned Beef & Pastrami on real rye bread, the best Potato Salad & Cole Slaw, Kielbasa of all kinds, (usually with Kraut and sometimes from Pulaski’s Polish Market on North Wood Ave)

Hand Made Pierogues (Churches were built on these in this area and sometimes you can see into this kitchen and view the older ladies, in Babushkas, making them), Stuffed Cabbages and if you’re not “washing all this down” with beer & Polish Blackberry Brandy (Jerzynowka) & Chrusciki for dessert  .. you should be !! 

Think of it this way : “A poor economy for most of the 20^th. century, 2 Word Wars within 25 years on their soil, under the ‘yoke’ of Communist oppression for almost 25 years .. These folks are the real survivors of Eastern Europe.” Yes, necessity is the mother of invention and this people could take the simplest of ingredients and turn them into a food fest. Poles take their food seriously and nothing pleases them more than to have it shared and appreciated, hence their old proverb, “When a guest is in the house, the Good Lord is there too.”
