Fried and Boiled Pierogis (cheese & Potatoes)
Cindy C.

AMBIANCE Came here for the first time with a friend. The waitress allowed us to choose our settings since there were 4? 5? filled. The tables was pretty organized, not too crowded. They decor was nice, festive and comfortable. SERVICE The service was not bad at all. it seems our waitress was the only waitress on the floor, but she was sweet and attentive. She seems really happy when she was telling us the Special Menu of the day. Gives off a pretty good vibe. Thats a good way to start the meal. FOOD We orders a few things to tried, everything was pretty good, and flavourful. Prices is reasonably. Definitely will go back to try more and be reordering the potatoes pancakes, and peiroges. Tried: - Fried & Boiled Pierogis- Cheese & Potatoes - Potatoes Pancakes - Stuffed Pork Cabbages w hot Sauerkraut and creamy Spinach

Delish draft beers

I wish we found out about this hidden gem sooner! This place sells superb & authentic polish foods! We ordered many things to share: 1) Ukrainian borscht, 2) white borscht, 3) potato pancake, 4) fried pierogies (combination), 5) polish platter, 6) breaded chicken cutlet w/ 2 sides (hot sauerkraut, mashed potatoes), 7) 2 draft beers. Ukrainian borscht (w/ cabbage + beans) - SUPERB! One of the best vegetable borscht I have eaten so far. It was so delicious, and so flavorful (savory, sweet, tart, etc). We loved it so much, we got 2 large orders of it to take home. White borscht (served w/ sausage & boiled egg) - I have never had a soup like this. It was also very delicious & flavorful (savory & some tart). It was a very unique soup. Potato pancakes - WOW! It was also super delicious, crispy on the outside & soft and tender on the inside. The sour cream complemented the potato pancakes very well. I also would reorder this! Combination pierogies (cheese+potato, meat, sauerkraut w/ mushroom) - you can choose between boiled & fried. We chose fried & I think boiled tasted better. Out of the 3 different pierogies we tried, the best was the cheese & potatoes! The sour cream complemented the pierogies well. Polish platter (3 pierogies, 1 stuffed cabbage, kielbasa, sauerkraut) - The boiled pierogies were delicious. The stuffed cabbage was good but not my most favorite. The kielbasa was delicious! hot saukerkrat also very delicious! Breaded chicken cutlet w/ 2 sides (mashed potato, hot sauerkraut) - The breaded chicken cutlet was very delicious & when mixed w/ the mashed potatoes + hot sauerkraut, it was even more amazing and flavorful! That hot sauerkraut was sooo delicious, I would reorder that as a side next time! Draft beers (pale ale & the other was their most popular one) - both the draft beers were very delicious and refreshing and cold. The pale ale one was more potent and better tasting. My draft beer was lighter w/ a bit of fruitiness. Waitress was super friendly & attentive. Great customer service. Tons of indoor seating & it was very comfy inside. Love the homely decor also. Highly highly recommended! We will be coming back again! We were so stuffed, but we will be trying their Hungarian potato w/ beef goulash next time!

Chris Restaurant: A Hidden Gem of Polish & American Cuisine Nestled in the heart of Brooklyn at 1866 86th Street, Chris Restaurant is a must-visit for anyone craving authentic Polish and American cuisine. This long-standing culinary landmark has perfected the art of blending tradition with exceptional flavor, offering a warm and welcoming atmosphere that feels like home. From the moment you walk in, the inviting aroma of homemade pierogies and sizzling kielbasa fills the air, setting the stage for an unforgettable dining experience. The pierogies--handcrafted and generously stuffed--are a standout, each bite a perfect balance of soft dough and flavorful fillings. The kielbasa, bursting with smoky, savory spices, is an instant reminder of old-world European charm. Another must-try dish is the stuffed cabbage, a hearty and comforting classic that beautifully bridges Polish tradition with American culinary influences. The flavors are rich, the texture is perfect, and each bite transports you to a home-cooked meal made with love. Beyond the food, the service is warm and attentive, making every visit feel like a return to family. Whether you're a long-time lover of Polish cuisine or a first-time explorer, Chris Restaurant delivers an authentic and delicious experience that keeps guests coming back. If you're in Brooklyn and searching for a spot that serves up history, heart, and exceptional food--this is it! Mark Fusco, Esq.

Cheese and Potato Pierogi
Wing L.

The restaurant is decorated for Christmas. All the ornaments and wreaths are beautiful. There is a small bar in the restaurant if you like to sit at the bar. Service was excellent. There was only one service but she told care of things. This is our first time at the restaurant, so she gave us recommendations. We started with cheese and potato pierogi and potato pancake. You have the option to choose fried or boiled pierogi. We didn't know which to choose so she said we could try both. The pierogi was delicious. It's interesting to try both styles of cooking. The potato pancake has tons of flavors and super crispy. I will definitely return to the restaurant and order these dishes again. We got the fillet bass and stuffed cabbage. Both entrees were well seasoned.

The food was very good typical Polish food nice atmosphere very reasonable prices drinks were good. I would go back there again.

Salmon tartare - would pass on this, quite fishy
Kiyoshi S.

Cozy Polish restaurant with bar. We tried many of the dishes and the majority were good enough. Service can be slow when it's busy and the restaurant was a bit stuffy from the rain. Lot patrons were enjoying alcoholic beverages with a few dishes to snack on. Very decent price and portions. I liked the lemon-y iced water. Note there is a small cash discount (~3%) and service charge was included (15%) on our bill. Will Get Again: 1) Beef tartare (4.5/5) - great portion and good quality, perfect on their toasted butter bread 2) Fried pierogis (4.5/5) - chewy crispy outside, warm potatoe-y inside, we also got the mushroom sauce on the side, and some complimentary sour cream 3) Raspberry lemonade (4/5) - raspberry flavor, not too much lemon/tartness 4) Draft beer (5/5) Okay but won't get again: 1) Ribeye steak (2.5/5) - average steak with veges on the side, I rather get something else for the price, corn on side is inedible 2) Ukrainian Borscht (3/5) - acceptable, enjoyable, good portion, tart 3) Beef goulash (2.5/5) - not my favorite flavoring, beef is mostly tender, mash is a bit dry Don't recommend: 1) Salmon tartare (0/5) - a bit fishy, avocado on top is fresh tl;dr get the beef tartare appetizer, lots of pierogis (boiled or fried), alcoholic beverages, raspberry lemonade, homey seating fair prices, slow but good service, slight cash discount (3%?), service charge (15%) included in bill

Polish Platter

This is a hidden gem in Bensonhurst, Brooklyn. Let me start off by saying that my wife and sister in law found this restaurant a few years back. My wife and I always go back once or twice a year. (never disappointed) Our Polish friend offered to take us to dinner the other night. Well to begin with, the owners renovated the inside of the restaurant, which looks great. We ordered a house salad for 3, portabella mushrooms, cheese, and mixed greens. My only concern was the honey mustard dressing. It Was Amazing..... We then ordered our main courses my wife ordered the vegetarian platter, and I ordered the Polish platter, see below. Everything was excellent, and by the way, they served pumpernickel bread, and I would highly recommend it. This is a great restaurant in Brooklyn, that I would not think twice of going their.

Chris Chopped Steak
Asiye E.

We were totaly wrong in giving a chance this place .Rib eye steak which is extremely thin like a paper taste was so bad.Chris chopped steak is extra salty I didnt eat because of it was raw .We gave feedback about food..Server answered us directly I cannot remove from the bill our owner is not here.Actually we didnt want to her removed that food even we just took one bite .We told her no worries we are not expecting anything itis not your fault just give feedback to your chef.End of the meal our checked over priced .When we checked our bill we realized that she charged us battle fee:) after that we asked what was it that ?Her answer is sorry ,it is mistake when the customers bringing their drinks we charged it (bottle fee)If she were bussy I could understand but we are the only table there.It is unacceptable!!After this bad experience every time I am gonna check my bill!!! I dont understand the servers who try to defraud people.I will never understand.I don't understand the business owners who make such people work either.Ambiance is not important after this bad experience.

Potato cakes
Samantha T.

The salmon over hash brown , was lacking a touch of something , couldn't pinpoint what was lacking. Chicken and waffles, decent, wasn't the best I've had. Service- jonathan was our waiter during brunch and also our bartender. He's GREAT! During service dinner, we had a female waitress and I felt she lacked attention to details and couldn't flag her down when we wanted something. Overall, service is a hit or miss , I guess? If you're looking for an intimate dinner, nope. Love their vibes and music playing in the background. You might need to "shout"'to hear

The salvaged wood interior and candlelit ambiance create this inviting space that feels both historic and lived-in. It's cozy enough for a relaxed family dinner but still feels special. We've worked our way through quite a bit of the menu over the years. The mushroom tagliatelle is rich and satisfying, the crispy chicken sandwich hits the spot, and the charred orange cauliflower couscous topped with smoked salmon is a real standout--beautifully balanced. The pan-fried okra and fried shrimp are great for sharing, and the rainbow beet salad adds a nice fresh note. I also appreciate how kid-friendly they are without dumbing anything down. My kids are happy with their chicken poppers and quesadilla while we enjoy the more adventurous stuff. The place is named after Jacques Cortelyou's famous 17th-century map of Manhattan, and somehow that history feels present without being gimmicky. It's just a really solid neighborhood spot that makes you appreciate Ditmas Park. Cortelyou Road has a lot to offer; The Castello Plan is a great option to grab a tasty bite while exploring the neighborhood. Extra point for a killer music selection the night we visited, featuring Foo Fighters, David Bowie, Queen, Dire Straits, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Simple Minds, Eric Clapton, and more! ------------------------------- [1] https://www.yelp.com/biz/ditmas-park-halloween-house-brooklyn

The ambience is warm, classy and comfortable. The service was outstanding.

From the moment we stepped through the doors, it was clear that Ren is leagues above any other restaurant we've visited. Calling Ren a restaurant feels almost like an understatement; it's a culinary journey. The menu is a testament to culinary artistry - each dish, from the appetizers through to the desserts, was a masterpiece. The flavors and textures were unique and memorable, with each bite cooked to absolute perfection. The service at Ren deserves its own accolade - it's a five-star experience in its own right. The waitstaff was attentive without being intrusive, enriching our evening with detailed descriptions of each dish. They didn't just serve food; they presented a story on a plate, explaining the intricate details of the ingredients, preparation, and the symphony of flavors to expect. The ambiance of Ren added to the magic of the evening. The decor was tasteful, the furniture and seating comfortable, creating an environment that was both elegant and inviting. It's clear that attention to detail is a priority here, and it shows in every aspect of the restaurant. In conclusion, dining at Ren isn't just a meal; it's an immersive experience that tantalizes all the senses. While it may not be the most budget-friendly option, what you receive is far more than just food - it's an evening of unforgettable culinary exploration. I wholeheartedly recommend Ren Restaurant for anyone looking to elevate their dining experience to extraordinary heights.

Open kitchen and limited amount of seats let us keep the place cozy and intimate, just like home. We make sure to buy from local purveyors, coffee roasters, and bakers." Home is where the heart is and there is nothing quite like a home cooked meal. I have to say most Bay Ridgians enjoy dining local and in our neighborhood. I love to support neighborhood gems because majority of restaurant owners here, love their clients, establish loyalty through cooking delicious food and provide consistent great customer service. I was in the mood for a " comfort food"breakfast, you know, eggs, avocado, mozzarella, tomato, deliciousness and I found it on the menu simply named "Breakfast Sandwich". Which consists of voila: Mozzarella, avocado, tomato jam, arugula, crispy bacon, dijonaise, sunny side up egg between multigrain toasts. I ordered this sans the bacon ( requested turkey bacon which they do not have). What arrived in my plate was this decadent open faced egg sandwich that looked delectable.. and was!! Let's first talk about the wheat toast: I tasted it naked and it simply melted in my mouth. The ingredients worked well together, perfect synchronicity. I used one half of the toast to sop up any fallen ingredients. Highly recommend! For a drink, I wanted something a bit different, thus, ordered the Mango Mint Peach tea, fruity with a hint of mint. Loved it and went well with the Sammy! There are lovely options besides breakfast sandwiches like quinoa, oatmeal, granola, pancakes, French toast.. breakfast is served all day and lunch is served @noon. I arrived before 12 and was told I can order breakfast or lunch. It has a cozy, intimate vibe which I love.. one where you can dine solo, or do work or read or just enjoy the fabulous food. I will make "The Common" my home away from home. Additionally, there are cooking classes in their Park Slope location; the courses look great: Italian feast, Moroccan cooking, Wine Pairing and many more. Check out their website for more info.

We ordered the chicken liver mousse, crispy potato tart, and burger. The chicken liver mousse is a must order and something I get every time I come here, whether it is this location or the Park Slope one. The mousse itself is rich, creamy, savory, and packed with umami. I just wish it came with something better on the side. The pita was a little underwhelming and was not warmed all the way through. The crispy potato tart was excellent. The potato was super crispy, and a bite with the salmon, egg, sour cream, and potato together was perfect. The lightly dressed arugula helped cut through the richness and made for a nice palate cleanser. The burger looked pretty simple when it arrived, but it ended up being surprisingly good. The patty was juicy, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. Overall, a great neighborhood spot and one I would happily come back to.
