The food was delicious and hit the spot. My server was fantastic and didn't leave me hanging long after my meal. I appreciate a quick check delivery, especially having a pup out in the heat. They have parking across the street but you can't stay there to walk around town. This a nice spot to go for a meal.

The porch was nice, though.

Tried this place for dinner based on their reviews. The host was nice. The manager who seated us…read morewas really nice. My server very nice too. My biggest complaint is about the wait encountered. I was quoted about 30 minutes to be seated and was probably a little over that, thankfully with other parties leaving to get progressed through the list faster. Once we were seated though, the first thing our waitress said is that it was going to be another hour before the kitchen would have our food out. In reality, time from seating to getting our food was probably was closer to an hour and a half. I ordered the wiener schnitzel with potato salad and spätzle. Everything tasted very good. I enjoyed my schnitzel. I liked the flavor of their potato salad a lot but didn't care for peas being in it. That was a first for me. The spätzle was good. I did order it with some additional toppings which were missing when it came out. No way I was sending it back. The plain original one was fine and they fixed the check no problem before cashing out. All in all, I would recommend this place on the food if their was not a wait. I would be hesitant to recommend it if you get waitlisted outside because of how long it took the kitchen. I hope they get that figured out. On food alone I wpuld of gave them 4 stars. For me tonight and the overall experience, I have to drop it to 3.

We tend to seek out Polish food when on vacation and were pleasantly surprised and will return when we return to the Helen area!

The potato filling was lumpy and the pasta was undercooked. Won't be returning

My friend recommended going to this restaurant and I'm so glad that we did. Why you were waiting on a table as the dining room is rather small you can pick up something from their bakery. They had lots of delicious treats. I did have the cheese danish, which was amazing. For lunch, I started with the tomato basil soup probably one of the best I've ever had. I got the grilled ham and Swiss with potato chips. I definitely would recommend this place for breakfast or lunch however be prepared to wait for the good food.

I pretty much order the same thing every visit because I love it that much, the HÜHNERSCHNITZEL with potato salad and red cabbage, and to start we always get the giant pretzel with beer cheese. It just hits after being out in the sun all day. The schnitzel is always flavorful and comforting, and that pretzel with beer cheese is one of those appetizers that disappears fast. The restaurant itself is also really cute. You can sit inside or out on the balcony which is such a nice spot to eat and people watch. Service has always been good every time we've gone too.
