Stopped in here for a bite to eat and to unwind after the concentration camps. When we arrived,…read morethere was only one other table that was there. We were seated promptly by the window. Our server did come over and was attentive initially, but that completely fell off throughout the time we had our meal. We did try their homemade glass of wine, and it left a lot to be desired. Even though she explained it was a dry wine, it still tasted sweet and it was thick. It even had a strong after taste similar to cough syrup. The Pilsner was nice and cold. We did try the tomato soup and the garlic bread, which was good. We also tried the Hungarian Pancake and the Casserole. I ordered Hungarian and it was very flavorful as was the Casserole dish. Did I absolutely love either dish, I did not, but it was good. I truly think this is going to be an individual preference. What I will tell you is, the food will take 30+ minutes to come out, as they say it can take 45 minutes at the bottom of the menu. Make sure you have an appetite as they serve a LOT of food for your order.

This Polish restaurant featured duck and that's what brought me in…read more I arrived for a late lunch without a reservation but was seated immediately. There were two rooms and I sat in the long one (the ceiling arc reminded me of a tunnel for some reason) with the duck mural. The menu contained lots of Polish dishes and a dedicated duck section. A duck and pickles appetizer was served gratis. It spread easily on the accompanying slices of bread and was nice. I've not had duck presented like this before and when I piled a couple of the smaller pickle pieces on top the tartness added more complexity for the flavors. I'd order this if it was on their menu. Zurek soup tasted a little tangy and was filled with sausage, mushroom, potatoes plus a whole egg and was delicious. I wasn't sure what to expect but all the different ingredients made for an enjoyable bowl. The bread bowl also contributed by thickening the soup as it abosrbed the broth. The duck breast with smoked plum sauce was thick, cooked medium and very tender. There was a little too much sauce for me but I liked the different taste. The side of glazed carrots and peas had a hint of sweetness and completed the dish along with the potato gnocchi. Service overall was good and efficient. Would return.

My friend and I were in Krakow for just a few hours so thanks to Yelp, we stumbled upon this gem. I…read moreordered the Ruski Pierogi (cottage cheese, potato, and fried onion) and potato pancakes. The pierogi came with 9 pieces and the potato pancakes included 3 large pancakes. I am from the United States so I can honestly say these were the best pierogi I've ever had (and my grandparents made great pierogi!) The service was attentive and the staff were very friendly and helpful. We dined around 4pm so we were seated right away but we were told that the other side of the restaurant was already booked for reservations starting at 5. I suggest making a reservation if you plan on dining at a typical dinner time. This was also on a Tuesday so I imagine they are quite busy throughout the week as well.

We ate there in early May, 2018. Nice place, hidden back in neighborhoods. We ate inside because it…read morewas threatening rain, but there's a really nice outdoor dining area. Because we're light eaters we only had appetizers and drinks. I ordered an apple-mint nonalcoholic drink, which was delicious. We got the bacon-cheese wrapped plums and the "lard" (smalec). Neither was huge, but both were adequate-sized and most important they were delicious. It was maybe the best smalec we've had out of the dozens of times we've had it over many, many trips to Poland, served with great crusty bread and pickles. The plums were six toothpicks of bacon and plum poked into slices of apple and cheese, with side splashes of plum compote and what we decided was a horseradish and egg sauce. Absolutely yummy and the service was good. If we lived in the area, we'd definitely come back and try their other offerings. (And they had a good crowd of locals: always a good sign.)

From the owner: Welcome to Karczma Rogata — a place where history and tradition live in every corner…read more It’s an honor for me to invite you to my family home — a place built in 1896 by the hands of my great-great-grandfather, Franciszek. He crafted the beams, the roof, and even the furniture that still furnish this tavern today. Thanks to his dedication and passion, I can now host you in a place filled with memories and warmth. This is not just an ordinary restaurant. It’s a home where every brick and every beam has a story to tell. You can even see the original serving window in the brick wall, reminding us of the old tavern that once operated here in the interwar period. I wanted you to feel at home here — to enjoy dishes prepared according to my family’s recipes. Here you can taste sour rye soup (żurek) made with a starter just like my grandmother taught me, homemade lard with pickled cucumbers from Charsznica, slow-cooked meats with potatoes baked in a bread oven, and pancakes and pudding exactly the way I remember them from my childhood. Every bite is a journey back in time, and every visit is a new story I want to share with you. If you’re looking for a place that combines flavor with history and a truly homely atmosphere, I’m sure Karczma Rogata will be a unique discovery for you. I warmly invite you — come and experience the true taste of history. — Krzysztof Hankus, Owner

My second time at this restaurant- I really enjoy their menu options and the homey atmosphere…read more Today, I arrived before the dinner rush so I was able to get a table for one. Also, there was a pianist playing holiday music among other notable tunes. Being here myself, it was nice to listen to. I ordered the pork chop, breaded and fried, with roasted potatoes. I also got a hot ginger beer. It's not the soda we have in the States - it's actually a beer with ginger, lemon, cinnamon, and clove. Since it's beer based, it's a little out of my comfort zone. I would normally like something like this if it were non-alcoholic and sweeter but it grew on me as I drank it. The pork chop was really good - very basic, comfort meal. There are a lot of choices in Krakow but since I just arrived and was hungry, I stopped in as I knew they had good food.
