This is one of a few restaurants within walking distance of where I live. It's definitely a Polish restaurant despite the fact that Yelp lists them as American.
The menu has a nice selection of dishes on it that you won't find at a lot of other mainstream restaurants. My favorite has to be the chicken kabab platter, which honestly is more of a salad than anything else. Other menu items have more of the Polish flair to them, and it's particularly interesting that each menu has a separate section for both English and Polish. As best I can tell it's the same food in each section.
Service is a bit hit or miss. If you sit at one of the tables you may have to keep flagging down one of the bartenders if you need anything. I've also noticed that they'll occasionally forget to bring out the salad that is included with most entrees- and when you question them on it, they play the language game and pretend to not understand you. Thankfully the entrees are quite large in size so I didn't leave hungry.
Only thing I'm not sure about this place is that they can't seem to decide if they are a restaurant, a bar, or a night club. I wish they would pick one and try to do that really well.
Once again YELP to the rescue! We received free bowling coupons from our local grocery store and my husband wanted to have a bite to eat somewhere new before bowling. Well, I did a quick YELP search and I had hubby convinced before I said "perogie."
We loved the bar and made friends with another couple. There's a small seating area with booths and a foose-ball table. The bar area is small too but very inviting. The bartender provided great service and recommended the $5 beer special. This place is for all our Polish friends, the real deal. It's like going out for Indian and noticing all the other folks there are Indian. Got it?
Perogies – cheese and potato were AWESOME. You get about 16 and they are fantastic. So delicious!
Kielbasa Sandwich – Thinly sliced kielbasa on a delicious bun. OMG, I dreamt about it. Hubby did too. I can't wait to go back and order this again!
Going to be taking more family and friends here in the future because we liked it that much. I'm really looking forward to returning!
