Krakus Restaurant

Tatra Haus provided my family with a lovely and authentic Polish dining experience. The restaurant…read moreis the only Polish Highlander restaurant in the area. The atmosphere is beautiful and decorated like a mountain lodge. Every ingredient was prepared fresh and tasted delicious. Our server was friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodating. Some of the highlights from our meal include the tatra haus sampler. This includes pierogis, stuffed cabbage, and kielbasa. Perfect shareable size and you get a taste of everything. The kielbasa were crisp and smoky and paired with a nice horseradish mustard. Other appetizer standouts included the potato pancakes and Highlander potato cakes with garlic butter and sheep cheese. I loved this pairing - the cheese and garlic butter were the perfect pairing for the delicate and light potato cakes. For dinner, I ordered the polish noodles with bacon and sweet cabbage. This has a flavorful smoky taste. Additional dishes ordered included boiled and fried pierogis, the highlander stew, and stuffed pork with plums and apricots. Every member of my family left satisfied. To end our amazing meal, we tried the napoleon and pistachio cheesecake desserts. There's a variety of polish draft beers and cocktails to choose from. Overall, Tatra Haus left a great impression on my family. Thanks for helping us celebrate with excellent food and service!

Food is from the mountainous region of Poland. If you like Polish cuisine, this place would…read moreinterest you. The menu requires some knowledge of Polish food with some offerings being familiar while others may require some exploration. We were two couples dining on a weekday evening. Two people had plum stuffed pork which was very good, one had the pork loin and broccoli which was also good. I had the schnitzel which was not to be confused with German or Austrian schnitzel. It was two small loaves of a mix of beef and pork which resembled more of a meatloaf. It was a bit bland but satisfactory. It came with mashed potatoes. Several sides of Polish sauerkraut, beet salad, and what appeared to be a fermented carrot salad were included. We shared an appetizer platter of pirogies, kielbasa, and something I couldn't identify, but it was all very tasty. This is not BYOB because they have a full bar. The ambiance has a Bavarian flavor and is squeaky clean and neat. The food is hearty and flavorful im what I would describe as peasant style. The service is excellent as they seem to want you to have a good experience. Reservations are required on weekends.

Seating was minimal - they had about 2 tables with 4 chairs each and some stools and side seating. Ordering was quick and easy and they have different sets too. We ordered a bit of everything to share amongst us 4. Everything was delicious but I especially loved the kielbasa. the outer skin was so crisp and it was overall juicy when you bit down with enough flavor. We got the beet salad with it and the slight tartness of the beets really complements the whole meal. We noticed they were super busy with take out and phone orders. They also have a refrigerated section where you can buy frozen products to cook at home, and a small grocery section with regional snacks.

There are several pierogi's to choose from as well as full plates, with sausage, salad and potato. My wife ordered 6 of the cheddar cheese pierogi (boiled) and I order 6 of the farmer cheese (fried). Both were served with sauerkraut and sour cream... and honestly each of them were awesome! After lunch, we grabbed some of the fresh pierogi's from the cooler to take home. Well worth it to take some togo for another meal. We will be back again -- and again...

We ordered take out from this restaurant. This restaurant serves Romanian food (although I don't…read morethink we ordered anything that was traditionally Romanian). We ordered the fried Asiago cheese as an appetizer. It was crispy but had no flavor. I wish it came with a sauce or something (like a sweet drizzle would have made it better). We also tried two sandwiches, the beef brisket and cheesesteak sandwiches. The beef brisket was good, the sauce was a little sweet, and the beef wasn't too dry. The bread tasted fresh and I like the amount of ingredients in the sandwich. The cheesesteak wasn't the best. It had a cucumber wasabi sauce that wasn't the best. The meat was well cooked though. I just think the sauce isn't for everybody. I think I would order again from here. The prices were decent. Each sandwich came with a large amount of fries and the sandwiches were pretty filling.

There's a very small dining area inside with tables good for 4 or 2 people. Service was excellent. Everyone was extremely friendly. Inside of the establishment and the cooking area was clean. I got a combo which came with 1/2 a chicken, sausage and ribs. Also came with two sides, so I picked Mac n cheese and baked beans. These sides were out of this world. Obviously home made. My son kept stealing scoops from me. The ribs were fall off the bone tender and the sausage was like a kielbasa but slightly spicier. The chicken was very good. Could have been a little more moist but still very good. Portion size was insane. Enough for a second meal for lunch the next day. I also got the Quinoa salad with feta and olives and that was out of this world. A little vinegarette with the saltiness of the feta was perfect.
