Polock Johnny's, located in downtown Baltimore, specializes in hand-cut fries and jumbo Polish sausage sandwiches with sauerkraut. Though ketchup is available at Polock Johnny's, it is looked down upon when applied to sausage. Mustard, on the other hand, is a traditionally acceptable addition to these massive hot-dog sandwiches. Breakfast, served Monday through Saturday until 11 a.m., features omelets, egg platters, and the Muffinski breakfast sandwich, comprised of an egg, sausage and cheese on an English muffin.
