Decent food with little bit higher than mediocre food
Tom Sloboda
This place is quite the hidden gem! A but discerning on the outside, classic & comforting wood grain on the inside! For all the numerous Sushi, Korean, Pho, Greek, Mexican, Chinese, etc. restaurants around, simple Balkan cuisine was a plesant change of pace. The bread was baked fresh, served with olives and entire wedges of feta cheese! The calamari was light, crispy, and not greasy at all. The meat was well seasoned, cooked well, and included homemade sausage. It was a bit light on the veggies, the meat being served with mashed potatoes & rice, so I might recommend a side salad to start. If I had to describe the cuisine, I'd say it's a cross between Greek & German.
We went at a likely slow point (830 pm on a Tuesday) so the diningbroom was nearly completely empty... so we got great service directly from the owner/manager. I'd imagine it probably be a bit busier around the dinner rush, or at least it deserves to be.
Simple? Yes. Delicious? Also yes! Worth going back? Absolutely!!!

We were with a large number of people, and we were still served in good time.

Amazing food, absolutely delicious grilled meats!!! Balkan diet at its finest. Only deducting a star because the interior could really use some cosmetic updates.

If you want a meat fest, Balkan House is the place to go! It is open for both lunch & dinner. Exterior of the restaurant looks like an Alpine Lodge, interiors is nice with lots of seatings for small & large groups. Service was good, they are attentive and checking on us during our dinner. We ordered the Balkan platter for 2, plenty of food for 4 people. Meat was cooked nicely, flavour was great. Their mashed potatoes was so yummy. There’s actually a buffet on the weekend, I have never tried but I heard there’s a lot of meat choices in the buffet. Well, the Balkan platter was plenty enough for us. Do check it out, you won’t regret it.

Great food and friendly service. We had pork neck and port sis with some sides - well worth it. Will come back to try other items from the menu.
Delicious food and kind service. Food was very good, just the entree bread was a little hard, everything else was so tasty.

A taste of home… mmmm yum! Every time we go to Balkan house we are welcomed with warmth and genuine service. This place has a great atmosphere and welcomes everyone, so wherever you may be from you will feel at home at the Balkan House.. and the food is delicious! We love this place and our family has been a guest there for years. Highly recommend! Also they have great concerts and parties with live music from time to time and over holidays…

Went for dinner, Food was great and comes in decent portion. Ordered chicken Caesar salad and enjoyed it. After paying the bill noticed the bill was much higher than expected. It was notified by the waitress that the price that we saw was for lunch, and dinner was priced higher. However, we were never notified about the price difference, even though we were pointing straight at the item when ordering. Quite disappointed with the non-transparency. Reviewing here just as a heads up for future customers.

I ordered veal cordon bleu. The food is dry. My order was served without the salad. Service needs improvement. Not happy on my first visit.
