The food was okay at best. Fish fry was frozen. As , it seems, was the dessert. The wait staff, however, was wonderful. Totally Johnny on the spot. But the owner came out at one point and pointed out that the candles on the tables weren't lit. He SCREAMED at one of the waitresses to "Do your job!" So incredibly awful! Right in the middle of dinner service in front of all of the diners! We left her a big tip but will not return. It is a place from a bygone era that younger people will never frequent. Especially if they see a display like we saw.

Amazing potato pancakes, just like my mom used to make! Delicious cabbage rolls, and meatballs in mushroom sauce, too. All the stuff I grew up eating. Plus an excellent Warsaw Mule. Definitely a must for great Polish comfort food!

I had a wonderful dining experience. The food was genuine polish fare and the waitress was super attentive. The live music made everything better. A good time was had by all at the buffet tonight.

Stopped for dinner because of the positive reviews. We arrived fairly early (around 4:00) and the place was empty. A very Friendly server greeted us an seated us quickly with menus. The place didn’t look like much on the outside, but the inside had a European restaurant ambiance with wooden tables. The server Took our drink order and returned promptly with our drinks and fresh bread rolls. Since the menu was pretty diverse with a lot of typical European ethnic food (like homemade pirogies, veal schnitzel, hunters stew, stuffed cabbage rolls, polish sausage, red cabbage, polish potato salad, and I could go on). See the menu on line to get a better sense of the different options. I chose the polish sampler plate that came with a stuffed cabbage roll in a tomato sauce, half polish sausage, 4 pirogies with your choice of various fillings, a vegetable side (I chose red cabbage) and a potato side (I chose the potato pancakes). I also got the cucumber salad instead of an included salad or soup. There was so much food that I couldn’t eat it all. Everything was very well prepared and tasted good. My favorite was the cucumber salad in traditional sour cream dressing with plenty of finely chopped onions and fresh dill. It was so good that after dinner I met the owner who was also the chef who was Polish and let him know how much I enjoyed it. I also make my own cucumber salad which I think is ok, but this one knocked my socks off! I also liked the potato pancakes and I like it with a little sour cream and applesauce that was provided. Wife tried the pirogies and potato pancakes and also took bites of my food. She also enjoyed all the food and especially the cucumber salad. There was also some good ethnic desserts, but we were so full, we didn’t even attempt to try it. They had a special dill pickle soup that we didn’t order, but asked to try a sample that the server recommended and brought out in a little paper cup. It too was outstanding. The quality and flavors of the food was some of the best European food that I have had. The owner selects only quality and fresh ingredients that go into all of his authentic creations. His blend of herbs, spices, and ingredients are evident in each dish. My only not stellar acknowledgement would be the red cabbage side, as I felt it lacked the tartness and flavor a cooked green apple slice would give it as I’ve had in other European restaurants and thought it might come pre-made from a jar. It was still ok, but I prefer the added flavor. Prices were reasonable for the type of food and quality of it. They had a bar in the restaurant and the drink menu had a decent variety of imported and ethnic drink choices. I would definitely come back to this establishment to try even more of the great home style ethnic food and family friendly environment.

I just had an excellent lunch here - with great wait staff too. The pierogies, stuffed cabbage, and potato pancakes are fabulous and the soups are amazing! We'll definitely return! Also, a couple of Archbishops showed up for lunch too, so you know it has to be good!

Stopped in for a get together with family for a weekday lunch.Food was good. Setting was charming, unique, with Polish accents... low key.Not sure how it is when more folks are there. Possibly pretty lively.

Went there for the Friday fish fry. Super nice, friendly staff. Speedy service. Nice ambiance. Best part...the FOOD!!! I work the Bering Sea and get Cod from sea to plate. This is as close as it gets.

Great stop today,heard they were closing which is untrue the building is for sale. They have a Saturday night buffet which is very reasonable with a lot of great choices. They also have a breakfast buffet which looks pretty good as well. We tried the pierogies they were delicious also tried some of the Polish beers they had they were also pretty tasty. The waitress that helped us was wonderful and knowledgeable.

Excellent food, large menu with plenty of choices, I had the sampler with mushroom soup. Husband had the fish fry. He enjoyed the fish fry, but loved the coleslaw.The sampler brought back memories of childhood dinners. There wasn't a single thing I didn't like.Oh, they have a great selection of Polish beers, I had a Żywiec, husband had a Polish nail, not only was it delicious, it was STRONG.Overall a lovely experience, looking forward to future visits.

I loved their brunch ! While there was a standard scrambled eggs bacon hash browns they also had some banana crepes and a soup. The desserts were good too. The wait staff was great. Go here for a good brunch !

Saturday brunch at 5pm. Great experience and great food. The live accordion player was a nice touch.

Wonderful Polish buffet on Saturday nights with live accodian music that is not so loud that it obstructs good conversation. Instead of a wine list, you can enjoy a list of imported Polish vodkas. It is the place for Polish food in Milwaukee.
