Whitmore's Polish Boy starts with a kielbasa sausage tucked into a hoagie roll and then stacked with fries, barbecue sauce, and coleslaw in the classic Cleveland arrangement.[4][5][11] Its distinction comes from the long-standing barbecue tradition at this spot, where the sauce and smoke from the rib and chicken program inform how the sandwich tastes, giving it a more old‑school soul‑food personality than some competitors.[4][5][11] The sandwich tends to arrive generously filled, with fries that soak up the sauce and slaw while still adding substance, making it a substantial meal on its own.[4][11]
