    An adorable, classy little restaurant combining Polish and Mexican cuisine. We visited with another couple on a Tuesday, before 4:00 so we would have plenty of time for bingo night in Commerce. With maybe two other tables the restaurant was near empty. Still, it took more than thirty minutes to make and serve a combination platter and two entrees. It's always disappointing to watch a group of people enter after you and eat half their meal before yours arrives. Thank goodness for great friends and conversation to pacify the situation. The food was very good and the server very professional. The decor was most inviting, a comfy throw back to old world. We will try again and hopefully gain a better result! 09/25

    Stuffed cabbage and mashed potatoes

    What a gem. I've heard about this place up in Milford and I wanted to stop in to check out their menu. To say that I was impressed is an understatement. One of my favorite soups is dill pickle soup, and that is what they were serving today. Unfortunately, I did not get a photo because it disappeared too quickly. It was that good. Then, the owner, Lisa, came out and started sharing the story of the restaurant a little bit and she was amazing. I loved her passion and dedication to quality. I could tell right away that this will be a new spot for me. The stuffed cabbage was incredible and the mashed potatoes taste just like my mom used to make. Be sure to make a stop in to see for yourself. Wow.

    Food was amazing! Stopped in for the first time and had a great dinner. We both ordered a sampler platter because we wanted to try a few things. Everything was so fresh, hot and so delicious. Can't wait to go back.

    Huge bowl of goulash!

    So unusual! Polish, American, and Mexican rolled into one restaurant. They had me with polish. It was worth the 30 minute easy ride through the back roads, such as they are in Michigan. But we had a nice, unfancy meal, in a homey family setting. Had to chuckle at the family with 3 or 4 little ones who kept knocking the teapots and cookie jars off the shelves behind them. Martha took great care of us, and the goulash was unbelievable! Homemade to say the least and there were no leftovers.

    Hello Babcia! I'm pretty sure my grandma has some of the same exact decor. I love that you walk in and it feels like a family kitchen and not a restaurant. They advertise Polish, American, and Mexican, but shouldn't. They have a small menu and most items are Polish. The others are perks. Food was great, except the ham and potatos were a little salty. And the green beans were bland. But that's ok because the pierogi were awesome, ham was still good, kraut was so good! My husband had the golumpki and said it was just as good as what my family makes. Service was good. The servers were sweet and took good care of us. They had live entertainment that made me smile. They have a full bar and gave Zywiec on tap! I can't wait to bring my dad here!

    Chose this restaurant on a Wednesday evening. Kitschy cute decor with polka music, but not too loud. Were seated immediately and brought drinks quickly. My friend had a Polish lager, which she enjoyed and I had lemonade. I started with dill pickle soup, which was thick, creamy and absolutely delicious. I ordered the pork roast, which came with mashed potatoes, gravy, kraut, green beans and applesauce. My pork was so tender no knife was needed. Great seasoning on all the vegetables- I brought the kraut home for my husband because I don't eat it. Enormous slice of carrot cake to go, which was moist and not too sweet. The service was excellent, water refilled twice. Definitely will go back and try other menu offerings!

    Each table had unique salt and pepper shakers and some other nice piece

    The REAL thing! I feel like I walked into a neighbor's home, welcomed, and well fed. The waitress and cook (who comes out to chat with diners) add greatly to the ambience, which is, well amazingly Polish. There is a collection of antique salt and pepper shakers which are deployed and in use at the tables. I feel like the chatchkeys are authentic family heirlooms. I tried the dinner sampler which was reasonably priced for what you get. The city chicken is pork disguised as chicken: a relic from the depression. The folks who own and work here love their food and this makes this a lovely experience. Desserts include nearly everything curated from the best of local bakeries. I cannot wait to taste the six-layer carrot cake I got to go. Be careful negotiating the city street to get here: you will not be disappointed.

    Came in on a Sunday afternoon around 1pm. Not too packed, but I'm sure it was early for Sunday dinner. The team was lovely and welcomed me as soon as I hit the door. Walking in, the sound of bouncy music (not too loud, but enough to know it's there. Myron Floren from his album, "24 Polka's Greatest Hits") was playing in the background. Christmas decor was still up, but it kept the atmosphere light and refreshing with the winter chill. Wide selection of alcohol beverages, wine, and other spirits. They also have some beer by the can if you're interested in the cold case. I had ordered the following for a decent tasting: 1. Pierogi Polish Dinner 2. Meatball dinner. 3. And the combination plate with City Chicken, cabbage rolls, and kielbasa. 4. Beef brisket dinner. (All dinners included mash with gravy, veggie, kapusta, and bread with butter) 5. Dill Pickle soup (no chicken noodle today ) And for dessert: 1. Apple pie 2. Lava cake 3. 6 layer carrot cake. Placed my order at about 1:10. Desserts were prepped by 1:19, and the food was ready for pickup around 1:35. 16 minutes for all the above. Awesome timing. All the dinners came with mash and gravy. First off, I've met several a potato that NEEDED gravy because of lack of flavor. This one did not. The gravy is what I would consider ice cream to my slice of cake; a nice addition, but NOT necessary. Vegetable today was green beans. Not sure if they cycle different veg, but these were good. They were fresh Meatballs: tender, full of flavor, and moist. Homemade and you can tell. Noodles: your basic egg noodle, but NECESSARY with these meatballs to feel like Grandma cooked your meal. Pierogi: sautéed nicely, tender and filled with potato cheese. You can taste the butter they were cooked in. A+ with a little sour cream. City chicken: not a big fan, but the other folks I had at the tasting were very impressed. Browned nicely, tender, and spiced well. Cabbage rolls: my mother used to make them like this. A nice taste of home with some of the mash along side it. Beef Brisket: this went the fastest. Tender, pull-apart an a well cooked piece of meat. I enjoyed the...2 bites I got. Lol. Dill pickle soup: I've tasted DPS at several places: Pickles and Rye, a couple of other delis, even at the Wawel Polish restaurant in Sterling heights. Nothing stands up to this. Dill, creamy, warm, a soup you can either enjoy with crackers, or bathe in. Whatever pleases you. Lovely on a cold day. Apple pie and chocolate lava cake were decent, well worth the price. But the real winner was the carrot cake. Moist, cream cheese frosting in between each layer, and enough walnuts for you to know, someone took their time with this. My bill? $83. BUT, I ordered 4 dinners, soup, and three desserts. Well worth it if you want home cooked and do NOT want to do it yourAll in all, a lovely place to go for a nice Sunday dinner with family and some libations. Not to mention, any other day of the week. Watching the service crew attend to every table multiple times ensuring drinks kept flowing and food kept coming, I will definitely be coming back here again!

    We recently visited for St. Patrick's Day, not on the actual day because it fell on Monday this…read moreyear and they were closed. Instead they had a 4 day celebration with a special food menu. Although I only have a very small percentage of Irish in me, I'm celebrating full on and love anything with corned beef! We went on Thursday figuring it would be the least busy of the 4 days, and let me tell you the dinner crowd was hopping. We snagged the last 2 spots at the bar and ordered. I'm not a beer drinker but I appreciated they had 2 rotating taps for hard cider and went with a lemon flavored cider (sounded intriguing and could have went either way so I appreciated the small sample). I actually really liked it and am bummed I forgot to ask who makes it. We both thought the Irish nachos sounded fun and different and when we asked we found out they were huge and could easily feed 2 people. I'm so glad we decided to try something different. They were on homemade potato chips and had corned beef, bacon, banana peppers, thousand island dressing, sauerkraut and of course cheese and sour cream. They did not skimp on the corned beef or bacon!! The service was friendly and the atmosphere lively. We will definitely be back because the regular menu also looked great!!

    totally deserves a 1 star review. It's the most disgusting restaurant I have ever been to…read moreeverything on the menu is disgusting. I asked for a sprite. They said they don't have soda. I asked for an ice water. They said they didn't have ice and that she had to get your own water at a water fountain around the corner. Then I ordered the only thing I thought I could eat, which was nachos and the meat on it was rotten. This is literally the most disgusting restaurant ever the only people rating at a 4.5 must be family members of the restaurant super gross. The owner claims there's no way that the meat could've been rotten because they stand behind all of their food which is a shame cause it's also disgusting. You're right it probably wasn't rotten because it was canned nasty.
