My party of three came here for an early lunch on a weekday; I was hoping for a high end diner delicious attentive experience. However sadly we left quite disappointed.
I have to agree the service is hit or miss and generally inattentive. After finishing our meal, we waited a long while and never received our check, thus we went to the cashier asking to pay. The cashier waitress did not have it and they had to find our waitress in the back- all of this took several minutes, and was a bit awkward as she had to fill out our bill in front of us.
Food wise, I made the mistake of ordering a bagel- which was a standard "continental breakfast" at Days Inn style bagel, BUT Burnt! Is everyone here Blind? I could not believe it when I was given such an obviously burnt piece of food. Would it be so hard to re-toast a semi- fresh one? Ughh.
My friend liked the whipped cream heavy hot chocolate and was so so on the French Toast. My husband loved his omelette, but too bad as we will not be returning.
The Restrooms downstairs are dingy and only advisable if you really need to use them.
Had a polish-influenced breakfast here. Excellent service, good omelets (I had one with keilbasa), and nice big potato pancakes. A nice local diner.
I have to admit that my first experience wasn't the greatest, but since then I've returned a few times and have enjoyed all visits.
The service was better the past few times, although sometimes still a bit rushed and grumpy… but the food has been good (consistently), and the prices are diner appropriate.
My one go-to dish is the Polish platter, it's been good every time.
Somehow my boyfriend convinced me enough to give Teresa's a second shot. We came here on a Saturday afternoon and it was packed, but luckily after 5-8 minutes of waiting we were immediately seated. Our waitress was very friendly and gave us recommendations too.
It was still very chilly outside at the time we were here, so we ordered two soups – Chicken Noodle Soup and Mushroom Barley Soup. The chicken noodle soup was fantastic! There were actually noodles in there too. The mushroom barley soup was amazing and seasoned just right. Both soups were really tasty.
For appetizer, we ordered the fried pierogies which came in an assortment of flavors (cheese, potato, meat, and sauerkraut with mushroom). I really enjoyed the sauerkraut mushroom pierogie because I've never had sauerkraut before and it was surprisingly tasty.
I had the Garden Omelette with sliced tomatoes and bread. I ordered the sliced tomatoes instead of home fries which wasn't a great choice because the tomatoes were soft. The garden omelette wasn't anything special, just vegetables and cheddar cheese combined together. I wasn't a fan of this omelette because to me it felt very bland and just plain.
Our waitress recommended to my boyfriend a poached chicken sandwich with fries. The sandwich packed and massive! He gave me half of his sandwich and I didn't even know where to begin. I really liked the sandwich! The bread was toasted perfectly and had a nice crunch and taste to it.
Will said Teresa's Restaurant has really great chicken sandwiches. He usually orders a grilled chicken sandwich, but this time he ordered the Poached Chicken Sandwich with Fries. Will gave me half of his sandwich and I honestly didn't know where to begin since it was massive. I never had a poached chicken in a sandwich before so this was new and different to me and it was definitely a healthy option. I also liked that there was a pesto sauce used to spread on the sandwich. It added some nice flavors and herb-like taste to the sandwich.
I really liked the food this time at Teresa's, despite the bland omelette I had. Everything else was splendid! i can see us returning in the near future.
I was in Brooklyn visiting family and on Sunday we decided to have a family brunch. Someone suggested Teresa's so off we went. Besides the issue of finding parking, which is normal for the area, it was really easy to find. It was pretty busy when we walked and we were worried they wouldn't be able to sit our big party since we didn't have a reservation but luckily that wasn't the case at all!
The best thing about this place, in my opinion, is the brunch special. It was $13.50 per person and included soup (or fruit or cantaloupe), a variety of entrees including breakfast, lunch, everything in between, and a choice of bloody mary, mimosa, sea breeze, or screwdriver. I thought this was a pretty great brunch and our whole table of 7 ended up ordering it.
My step mom got the garden omelet and she wasn't a fan of the seasoning. I ordered the ricotta pancakes and thought they were pretty tasty. I wish I had had a side of potatoes of something though. I also tried the leek soup and it was fantastic. Overall the food was delicious, service was spot on, and for how large our table was, the check was pretty cheap.
The service is efficient but never friendly by any means, and the food is just so so. The pierogis aren't even as good as I remember, although I am glad they still have steady business after all these years. It makes me think I'm constantly ordering the wrong items on the menu. Oh well.
The best brunch for its price. Coffee, boozy drink, entrée and appetizer for less than $20!!! We thoroughly enjoyed our brunch.
This Polish diner, located in Brooklyn Heights, aims high (for a diner) and serves all the classics alongside a full menu of Polish specialties.
This place is really a borscht festival, because depending on the day and season you stop by, you might find Ukrainian borscht, white borscht and/or cold red beet borscht (summer only). The latter is a clear soup, tasty, tart, and refreshing, with lots of diced beets and a whole hard boiled egg submerged in it. When you add a boiled potato to the cold red borscht, it reaches a whole other level of old country goodness.
I've had the veal meat balls here and they deliver what they promise, bland non-assertive flavor that will leave you full and satisfied. This place will do in a pinch when you have that Central European food craving and don't want to travel out to Greenpoint.
