    I always have wanted to try out this place in the past and finally got the opportunity to. We ordered a polish boy, tour of Poland, lake perch, and mushroom soup. This was a take out place. We waited roughly 15 min to pick up our foods then went back home to eat them. The Polish boy was good. My boyfriend grew up eating Slovenian kielbasa and he thought the Polish one was somewhat similar but the texture was not different. The Polish kielbasa was less garlicky and less of a bite than the Slovenian one; still, it was pretty good. The stuff cabbage was okay. The ground meat was a bit too fine and could maybe use a bit more seasoning on that. We got potato and sauerkraut + mushroom pierogis. Both were so delicious. The dough for the pierogis was very smooth. My lake perch was pretty good too but it was not that crispy. It may be due to the fact it was a takeout. I am sure it would taste better if it were eaten fresh from the store. On the other note, the mushroom soup was superb. I loved it. Overall, it was fun to be able to try Polish foods. We could come back if we were around the area.

    Ohio does not play with it comes to polish food and this spot did not disappoint- tiny place like- lives up to its name for sure- sweet service, very friendly faces- good prices and best of all- BEST POLISH FOOD. Portions- out of this world, variety, come on- wow. They don't offer seating, so do what we did and have a polish picnic in the park- grab extra napkins because you are going to be salivating before you get to the park- spot on! The pierogis, sausage, cabbage roll, beans and butter roll were all part of the tour of Poland- everything you could ever want. My friend got the BLT- "best BLT I've ever had" go On already- get you some food from the Little Polish Diner-

    Ate here today with my parents and sister to try this place out for quick bites and trying out another Polish food called pierogi for the first time. We had definitely brought different kinds of pierogi to share together to at least satisfy our taste. It was definitely great and delicious. The service there was also patient and attentive. Finally, I will come back again next time when I visit Cleveland.

    quaint. Home cooked Polish food. Best perogies in town. If you are in the area you have got to stop buying and get the tour of Poland

    Most delicious and unique pierogy with 6 different kinds of flavors I have ever tried, the sauerkraut is beyond my expectations and the sample of mixed sauerkraut with sausage is quite successful even though I didn't use to enjoy sour food! The amount of food is munificent enough to support my whole day! Just hope eat-in can resume one day.

    YUMMMM! So I had been here before years ago, and honestly don't remember being that impressed. Decided to give it a go again because when I'm home visiting I need my fill of Eastern European food and have been on a quest to find a suitable replacement for Sokolowski's (RIP). I came on a Friday so I could get some cabbage and noodles along with my tour of Poland. Everything was delicious! The cabbage rolls were so tender and the sauce was amazing. The pierogis were slathered with butter and onions as they should be. The kraut was heavenly. Not too sour but rather sweet and the kielbasa was juicy. Heck, I even liked the canned green beans. The cabbage and noodles were delicious. Definitely tasted some garlic in there. I'm actually going back this Friday to do it all over again. I think I found my spot :)

    Absolutely incredible place for pierogi and polish cuisine! We can't wait to be back in the area to eat here again!

    After finishing a hike at West Creek Reservation I went onto Yelp to find a place to grab a late lunch and one of the options was the Little Polish Diner which I had heard good things about. Since they offered a reasonably priced fish dinner I figured I would give them a try. Found street parking right across the street. Inside I found out why they call the place Little, the restaurant is a single wide storefront diner that looks like it was decorated by Grandma. The friendly staff informed me that they were doing takeout only since if they had people seated they could not provide 6 feet separation from those waiting to takeout. After reviewing the compact menu and the specials board, I decided to go with the lunch special of a fish sandwich for $5, instead of fries I choose the cabbage and noodles. The order was ready in about 5 minutes and I went to my car to enjoy it. Imagine my surprise to open the takeout box to find a large, but thin whitefish fillet, nice and crispy topped with cheese on a nice sandwich bun with lettuce, a huge portion of the cabbage and noodles, plus coleslaw and tarter sauce. The fish sandwich was very good, the cabbage and noodles were excellent and the portions were exceptional. When I am in the area I will be back to the Little Polish Diner, great basic food well prepared and an exceptional value for the money. I don't think you can go wrong here.

    Have nothing against the restaurant but central and Eastern European food just doesn't interest me other than roasted pork and some of their beef dishes and of course sausage. Wanted to try out pierogi today. They have many flavors, surprisingly the best I like was the sweet blue cheese, the worst was the stuffed potato, and I imagine if my favorite kielbasa were used as stuffing I would have liked it better.

    This is one of my favorite polish eateries in Parma. Just a little take out fast and so good. Don't sleep on this place.

    We love coming here for gyros! The portions are always large enough for us to share with leftovers,…read morethe staff nice, and when dinning it it is cozy.

    John & Loreta Family Restaurant is a diner tucked away in a plaza in Parma. If you're a breakfast…read morelover, this diner might be a good fit. They offer breakfast all day. It was the first search that popped up as I was searching for family style meal nearby. And so, I checked out this diner for breakfast. AMBIENCE: Mom and pop diner frozen in time. Think simple decor, worn booths, few dated tables, and mismatched art. The atmosphere is very relaxed and casual. Most guests were local couples. This is a no-frills food-focused experience. FOOD/DRINKS: Orders and payment are accepted at the counter. Your food order is delivered to your table. You will be provided with a tray so that you can later return your plates and cutlery on this tray. The restaurant most offers self-service. The menu is displayed overhead at the counter. The menu is simple, featuring breakfast specials, lunch specials, omelets, and breakfast sandwiches. This diner is very value oriented. You can order a meal for one for around $10, which is now a rarity. I ordered Gyro Cheese Omelet ($9.99), John's Favorite Salad ($6.99), and hot tea ($1.99). Omelet was served with home fries and a piece of toast. Gyro meat is not frozen, there is gyro spit located right behind the counter. The omelet was alright, but not notable. Omelet ingredients were scarce - meat and cheese. John' Favorite Salad seems like a Greek salad - tomatoes, onions, cucumbers, olives, olive oil, and feta. The dish seems not cohesive. It's just very light and lacking flavor. Hot tea was a mug with non-branded tea bag. Black tea only. To me the food was subpar. It wasn't really restaurant quality. It's something you'd expect to eat at someone's home, which might be its own charm. SERVICE: The service is indifferent unless you're a regular. It was heartwarming to see the staff call their regulars by their names. The service is so focused on regulars that at some point the regular cut me off in line. The guest just walked up and stood in front of me in line. I was genuinely amused by this development. I didn't have urgent plans so it wasn't a big deal. The waitress mentioned that he was just picking up an order and I'll be next. All in all, I didn't feel welcome as a new guest. PARKING: There is a large shared plaza parking lot for your convenience. In winter months the parking lot is not well salted, might be icy. This diner is a worthy destination if you're looking for a quick breakfast. It wasn't the best diner food I've tasted, it was just okay. I didn't particularly enjoy any part of my experience. If you're looking for cheap food and low key spot, stop in.

    This restaurant offers absolutely the best French toast. I got the banana & bourbon caramel bread…read morepudding French toast ($16.50), and it was divine. What makes Scratch's French toast so good is that they don't use plain old white bread for it. Instead, they use sweet bread pudding, which makes for an utterly decadent and delicious breakfast. The pieces of bread pudding had crisp edges while being soft on the inside. They were topped with sliced bananas and a rich bourbon caramel sauce, and served with maple syrup infused whipped cream that was almost practically ice cream. The French toast also comes with your choice of sausage or pork belly. I opted for the sausage patties, which were tasty and homemade. I also ordered the orange juice ($4.50) and home fries ($3.75). The home fries were delicious. Crispy potato chunks that were the right amount of salty. Between the French toast and home fries, I left stuffed. Service was also great. My server was very friendly and welcoming, and came to check on me a couple of times. Notes - it's a small place with a couple of tables, but I was able to take a seat right away on a Friday morning. Every table comes with 2 bottles of hot sauce - a red sauce and green sauce. You pay at the cash register after you get your check.

    I've been to Scratch in Independence a handful of times, but this is my first time finally writing…read morea review and it's well deserved because this place never disappoints. I met a friend for breakfast this morning, and everything from start to finish was spot on. I ordered the Sweet Jalapeño Sandwich: an English muffin piled with jam, bacon, an egg cooked over medium, and cheddar, served with home fries. It was the perfect balance of sweet, savory, and just a little kick. My friend stuck with her usual: the Banana & Bourbon Caramel Bread Pudding French Toast, topped with fresh bananas and their homemade bourbon caramel sauce, plus a side of pork belly. It looked incredible and, according to her, tasted just as good as it always does. We arrived just a few minutes after they opened at 8:00 and were seated right away. The service was friendly, attentive, and very prompt without feeling rushed. Scratch has such a great casual, local diner feel, but with a menu that's anything but ordinary. The portions are generous, the flavors are unique, and the quality is consistently excellent. Definitely a go-to spot for breakfast or brunch...you really can't go wrong here.
