Heard good things about this restaurant so we gave it a try. Monday is happy hour time and we both had the schnitzel with cabbage for 15 bucks. Sorry no pictures. Everything was delicious. Definitely will be back.
We went for the traditional turkey dinner and it was fantastic! Perfectly cooked turkey with dressing and all the fixins'. Service was great and the staff was very attentive and friendly. Highly recommend!!!

****AVOID AT ALL COSTS****
I was really excited to try Izba, given its reputation for authentic Polish cuisine, but unfortunately, my experience was far from what I had hoped for.
First, the service was extremely slow. Despite the restaurant not being very busy, our server seemed disinterested and hardly checked on us. We had to flag them down multiple times just to get basic things like water refills.
The food, which I was looking forward to the most, was underwhelming. The pierogi were bland, lacking any real flavor or seasoning, and the filling was far too dry. The borscht was greasy and tasted more like something that had been reheated multiple times rather than freshly made. It was also way too salty, which made it hard to finish.
The manager/owner, when I raised my concerns, was dismissive and unhelpful. Rather than apologizing or offering a solution, they seemed indifferent to our experience. It’s always frustrating when management doesn’t take feedback seriously, and it only made the situation worse. It felt like they weren’t interested in improving their service or maintaining customer satisfaction.
Overall, I won’t be returning. There are plenty of other places offering better Polish food and a much more welcoming dining experience. I would not recommend this place to anyone.

Bit slow. Food was expensive for what you get, in my opinion. The schnitzel was good though. My girlfriend loved the short rib stew - reminded her of home.

Hour long wait for entrees with little to no updates. The restaurant claimed it was very busy, but honestly it was exactly at capacity or anything; no busier than usual on a Friday evening anywhere else.
Service was pretty, their front of house was rushing around, bussing tables without touching base. Dishes were just dropped off without clearing empty plates. I thought they had someone call in sick or something but they said they weren't understaffed.
Overall poor experience, soggy food, inattentive/dismissive staff. 👎

Honestly the best breakfast I've had in a while. The service is great, from the staff and the management. Portions are a great size and definitely very cheap.
$16 for an omelette with toast and potatoes, you could have easily charged $22!
I'll definitely be back. I highly recommend these guys!

We went for breakfast the other day and it was our second time going. Hoping to have a better meal the second time around. We did not. I had the veggie Benny and they forgot the veggies. Brought me an extra plate of them, not cooked. The spinach was watery and tasted horrible and frozen. My hubby took my plate and gave me his because it was pancakes. The pancake started like onion. It was really bad and I’m disappointed to say the least. Oh well. Fool me once shame on me , fools me twice shame on you. I won’t be back.
We decided to try this place for a late family dinner from our way back from an outing. Our server was bubbly, very friendly, however she talked a little bit too loud and had a very expressive boisterous laugh, so you could hear her wherever she was in the restaurant, who she was talking to, and what every table was ordering, Lol. It was semi busy when we arrived around 7pm. The kids menu is really expensive which I found surprising. Like $18 for chicken fingers. I had the turkey dinner which I thought was tasty and had typical fixings on the side. Unfortunately, it took over an hour to get our food, which the server apologized for, but the food arrived Luke warm so that was a little disappointing. Overall, I found the prices a bit on the high side, especially for the kids meal, and the atmosphere doesn't match the prices on the menu. it's doesn't feel like an upscale restaurant. It's very casual and family friendly, which is nice, as we had a kid with us, but I have higher expectations when prices are high.
