    This was where my fiancée picked for his birthday dinner. It had been on our list of places to try since they opened. The service was great and the food was wonderful! We started with three appetizers and we each ordered an entree. It was a little too much food for us but we know for next time. We started with the picked vegetables, the kielbasa and the potato, farmers cheese and onion pierogis. Then I had the rolled cabbage (golabki) and my fiancée enjoyed the pork and potato entree that was like a stew. Oh and the drinks! I had the pickle juice martini which came in a gorgeous glass!

    Admittedly I'm biased. This place is so close to my house it's practically in my living room, so I'm practically invested in its success. But I love it! It's a special place. Unique. Quaint. Cozy. Staffed by real people. When it first opened during the summer, it was too hot inside because the authentic wood oven filled the place up with a Smokey smell and the air conditioning couldn't keep up. They fixed that problem though. The wood stove makes the whole neighborhood smell wonderful.

    All day brunch menu, available on Sundays

    Little Walter's is a gem for pierogis, of course, but also has an incredible selection of other bites. We came for dinner on a Sunday which is an all day brunch menu, but you can also order off of their regular menu (which we opted for) or mix and match brunch and standard items. We tried all of the pierogis except the chicken ones, and all of them were really good. They taste very distinct from each other, so don't worry about ordering 3 of the "same" dish. The standout for me, though, was the smoked monkfish. It was over a borsch broth with sausage, pickled carrots, and mushrooms, and the whole dish had such unique and delightful flavor combinations. I would come back just to order that again. This cute little spot is a must try for all fans of polish food, and even for those who aren't - if anything will change your mind, it's Little Walter's

    I can't wait to go back to Little Walter's for their out of this world potato pierogis! We loved it so much we had to order a second round. The service is warm and attentive - everyone on staff is incredibly knowledgeable and makes you feel so welcome. The decor and vibes are inviting and fun to see all the amazing veggies they're picking. Definitely don't skip out on the creative and delicious cocktails and the desserts!!

    I really enjoyed my meal at Little Walters. I debated going down to 4 stars because service was weird...it took 20 minutes for them to take our drink order. Also the server didn't really explain anything to us - I heard another server go over specials but our server never went over them with us. Besides that it was really delicious. We started with bread. Yum! I love both the dips it came with. They were both buttery but the server was really quiet and I couldn't really hear them. We ordered the assortment pickled veggies, the mushroom pierogies, and the squash pierogies. There were three different pickled veggies that came: beets, carrot, and cauliflower. The cauliflower was delicious but I'm indifferent to the beets and carrots. The mushroom pierogies came out next and they were surprisingly meaty tasting. I was really impressed by these and I think they were my favorite of the night. The squash came after. They have this charred kale and delicious sauce. The squash was so creamy. We had room for dessert and got the chocolate pierogies with ice cream. Insane dish and I want to come back just for this. I love that it was more peanuty than peanut buttery. The crushed peanuts were a good texture addition. The food outweighs the weird service issues. I will definitely be back and want to bring friends and family.

    I cannot rave about Little Walter's enough. Our waitress kindly went through the menu with us, she was super knowledgeable and made great recommendations. The pickle martini is a must order for martini and pickle fans alike, the pickle finish on the back was perfection. Each dish was packed with flavor and I will have trouble not ordering the Pierogi Ruskie, Kielbasa and the rotisserie pork every time but will definitely be back to try the tasting menu! Cozy atmosphere, attentive and kind staff, and food you'll dream about. Little Walter's is a true 5 stars.

    The new gem of East Kensington will transport you to high class eastern Europe - with elevated Polish food, wood-fired grill smoking the air, and crisp fresh cocktails. Everything on the menu is Polish with the exception of a handful of drinks, but many of those have a local focus (including pet nat from nearby Mural City winery!) The "koktaijl" list is well curated and intriguing, leading me to pass over a rosé and instead try the cocktails. I tried the szaman and pilkarz (pickle martini) and both were incredible light and drinkable for the summer, while being well flavored and complementing the food menu. The menu is primed for sharing, with small plate appetizers, pirogies, meats, and desserts. We started with the surówka, which included crisp snap peas in a minty sauce, spiraled cucumbers, and pickled/smoked beets in a walnut pesto. Fresh and flavorful, and a nice start to a heavier meal. Naturally we had to try both types of pirogi, and while the classic potato pirogies (notably made with farmers cheese) were lovely, the squash blossom/zucchini pirogi were the highlight of the meal! From the moment we noticed the wood fired grill in the small kitchen at the back of the room, we new we had to try the rotisserie pork (wieprzowina z roźna) and it stood up on its own as a delightful meld of pork, kielbasa, onions, mushrooms, perhaps apples, and radishes. For dessert, we accidentally tried both options and they are the more savory/dense sort of dessert, which were enjoyable and distinctly eastern European. Little Walter's was already popping for the soft opening, and with such astounding food and drinks is sure to need advance reservations once word gets around!

    Really loved little Walter's. Very unique place in Philly. Loved the kabab (not pictured) and the pierogies (though I will say the pierogies need to be cooked a little more imo). The chicken cutlet was cooked perfectly but would recco them adding a starch to the dish. Or adding mashed potatoes to the menu. We loved the cabbage / brisket entree too. Desserts were great - surprisingly we loved the pear ice more than the chocolate pierogies. The pickle martini is also really good and services in a beautiful glass. All in all, will come back - esp in the cold bitter winter for a homey meal.

    Admittedly, not having had a ton of Polish food, I never really considered it a meal that would really blow me away. However, I was really nicely surprised in the end by the meal had here. The menu is small but seems to change a good amount seasonally, which is nice (that being said at the end I didn't feel like there was anything I would necessarily come back for on the current menu). It was a great start to be given complimentary lovely bread with two delicious spreads: an herbal butter and a cream with chichcahron-type topping (the former was by far the superior). Started with sałatka cykoria, which was a really nice salad. I appreciated the texture a lot with the breadcrumbs and the buttermilk dressing was nice-it was also a healthy portion. Next came the special of the night pierogi, which was filled with cheese and mushrooms. The potatoes and the mushrooms were divine-I honestly would not have known that there was cheese unless I had been told. The pierogies themselves were huge but I do wish that the sauce was a bit more present as it was quite scarce. Finally, the pork shoulder kiełbasa was awesome. Big fan of homemade mustard and this was a great blend of tart/spice that did well for the dish especially when garnished with the pickles. For the main, we got the monkfish. This was actually my least favorite dish as I felt the fish itself, while flaky and tender, was a bit plain. The shrimp kiełbasa and mushrooms it came with really saved it. The place overall is a bit cramped. There are steps up to the restaurant and down to the bathroom, so be careful as it is quite easy to trip. The drink menu didn't really do much for me and I wasn't so inspired by any of the wine/beer options. Service was friendly and fairly attentive to water refills. Overall, definitely worth a try at least once, especially reiterated by being on the NYT top 50 US restaurants this year.

    Pierogis and kielbasa
    Leah C.

    We went on a Tuesday night and were seated at the bar since we didn't have a reservation. Very small restaurant so I would recommend a reservation. The pickle martini was delicious and huge. We ordered pierogis, kielbasa and the salad appetizer. I really enjoyed everything and will definitely be back. My only call out would be the hostess wasn't the friendliest which I always make a note of because they are the first impression of your restaurant.

    This place is phenomenal!! It just recently opened in Philly, and it is so so delicious. The kielbasa and mushroom and cheese pierogies were my favorites, and I would totally just come and eat that all day every day if I could! The pickled veggies were yummy too. The main we ordered was delicious too, but we were already so full from the appetizers! Super fun servers. Cute chill interior, very affordable

You may have to fold your mirrors in to hit cars, I'm not exaggerating. I had envisioned a larger restaurant but this was small with maybe 7 tables. We sat at one with padded wooden benches that was comfortable. We were the only customers when arrived for lunch. The menu is limited and the waitress was as authentic as the food. There were some lunch specials posted but we opted to try three things: mushroom cheese bread, potato pancakes and the blueberry pierogies. The pierogies were definitely handmade and on the larger side as soon as you cut it open, the blueberries rushed out. There was a sweet sugary sauce on the top. That was unexpected. They were served cold and not warm. They were sweet. There were two of us and we each were only able to eat one of the six that came in the order. The mushroom cheese bread was drizzled with ketchup, which was unexpected that cheese was melting and gooey. Our favorite item was definitely the potato pancakes. They were cooked to perfection and the sour cream was the perfect condiment. They do have limited drinks here, including bottled water, cans of Pepsi and diet Pepsi, and some unique bottled drinks like birch water. The biggest drawback for the spot was that I just didn't think it was as clean as I would've liked it to be. It is authentic and as you eat, there is a man in the back that you can see making pierogies by hand. I'm glad that we tried this, but I'm not sure that I would return.

BYOB We came with another couple on a Saturday night and it was amazing to walk into a gorgeous dining room area with a kid play space. Our two boys ages 6, loved having a lego table and toys while the adults loved having a moment of peace at the table! We literally had to beg them to come eat because they were so entertained. Do not think that it is a messy place because it is kid-friendly, quite the opposite, it was so elegant and beautiful inside. Now for the FOOD! Hubby and I ordered a tasting dish they had which included a few Polish favorites to try and it was perfect. It brought 3 different types of perogies (the potato and cheese was my favorite), stuffed cabbage, potato pancakes, kielbasa with sauerkraut, and more! We could taste a little bit of everything and the portion was huge. For our boys we had the chicken fingers and fries, and this sounds silly but it was REAL chicken. It wasn't battered, just strips of seasoned chicken and fries, the kids loved them. We also shared two desserts there was an ice cream with fruit (which was gorgeous) and a cole apple pie. I'm not a huge fan of the desserts but the presentation was incredible. The only downside is that service is a bit slow, but since it is BYOB, just take ur time drinking your wine. Overall I would highly recommend trying out Flavor of Poland and will be returning!
