Food was very good. I grew up with authentic Polish cooking. This was good. A little bland but you can't make everyone happy.

Met friends for dinner a few Sundays ago. What a wonderful variety of dishes to choose from. There is something for everyone. Not just Polish food like kielbasa, pierogi and schnitzel, but wonderful fried chicken, roast beef and ham. So many salads to choose from too. The potato pancakes are to die for. And don't get me started on all the desserts offered. You better come hungry.Parking: We had to park 2 blocks away, but it was worth it .

There's good food, and then there's perfectly prepared food. I suggest taking small portions of everything, don't make the mistake of taking too much of any one thing, filling up, and thus, not having the appetite to experience other things. I did so with the lamb. I was excited to see that they had lamb. It was wonderful but had I taken one less piece, I might have been able to experience something else.The Polish people are blessed. And this food is absolutely divine. And my waitress was so sweet. The day this restaurant closes will be a very sad day. If you haven't been here, don't wait! Don't decline the pickle soup!! Best tripe soup I ever had, too. Also, I wasn't going to try the pork cutlets because I figured there were things I'd enjoy more...but oh my gosh I am very glad I tried them! Honestly, everything was nearly euphoric for me, truly fantastic. And those shrimp! And those potato salads and variety of coleslaw. And it might sound like a small thing, but the kraut was perfectly rinsed, retaining just the right amount of flavor.After each visit to the buffet, my plate was eaten clean, only bones were left. I really did not have much room saved for dessert, but I had to try a couple things. Great stuff, carefully prepared, and made with love. I came from Milwaukee area and tried it for the first time on Friday, 4/19/24. I most definitely will be back with friends, to treat them.Much gratitude to the owner and everyone who makes this restaurant so wonderful.Parking: I can only speak for my experience. I parked less than a block away, on the street. At the time (Friday, 6PM) there was ample parking to be found.

Today I was with my daughter for the first time in this restaurant, but we will never go to eat here again, they have exorbitant prices, for 2 glasses of juice, a small soup, a plate with pure potatoes, chicken meat, and my daughter I ate fish, which had no taste, the strange dessert, I ate an eclair with half ice cream and I paid a total of $83.18, it's very expensive. I don't recommend????

We were there for Easter evening. We had reservation for 11 people party for particular time and unfortunately it wasn’t saved for us, because the other party was late, and we were informed they can’t don’t anything about it. Later on, we were able to move ourselves to the bigger table, but only because we noticed it was empty and we just moved there. The food was great. Definitely above average and better than in all of other polish cuisine spots. The food selection was great. Very accurate to what polish Easter looks like. The food was fresh and continuously refilled. Unfortunately, we didn’t like how they put 15% tip before of adding taxes so we paid extra on that too and for using card they charged additional 3%. We have nothing against tipping 15% for 11 people party, but since it’s not taxed it was weird we had added tip and then calculated tax from that.The drinks with alcohol (coke with whiskey) was $10 for 0.2 glasses, coffee $2.5 and coke $3.5 (no refills, per bottle). We might come back for some occasion.Parking: Around 20 parking spots in the back of the building.

Nothing to brag about. Polish sausage was below average. Sauerkraut was bland, blintzes were below average from what I’ve had, potato pancakes were great and service was very good for Easter. For 42 bucks it’s not worth it in my opinion.i called 10 days before Easter and got there and they said they didn’t have me on a reservation

Food is normally good. THIS TIME IS DRY AND NASTY all the way to desserts. Todays price was way more due to HOLIDAY???really what - there was no special food more like worst tasting food but the same as always and closed earlier...And waiter has already charged her tip. Tip when i got my check ? This is a buffet place. So she tip herself for bringing water!!. I will never go back.

We drove from Wisconsin just to eat at this place and will do it again. The food was amazing, everything was fresh because it was being consumed so fast, the empty plates were removed from the table right away, other buffets will let the plates pile up, make your way to this place, it is a cash only
