    Kielbasa, sauerkraut, pierogi, stuffed cabbage. All delicious!

    Incredible! Food, service, cleanliness of the dining area, some outdoor seating if the eather is right. This is an absolute em, and I'm so glad I found it and tried it. Thanks to the folks at Big George's/Witbeck Home Appliance Mart who encouraged me to go. It was a great choice and I can't wait to go back and trymore of their menu!

    Zurek soup

    Great lunch as always. When ever I'm in Petoskey I make sure to go. Never disappoints.

    Kielbasa with double sauerkraut.

    The Dill Pickle soup was a perfect way to start out with on this cold snowy day. Had some Kielbasa Sausage with sauerkraut and mustard, and it was fantastic. Rye bread had great flavor as well. To drink we had a good tasting, simple unsweetened ice tea. Service was very efficient. We will be back.

    Food was amazing! Half the town was shut down for the weather, but this gem was open. What a perfect meal for taking a ski break. I left warm and full for the rest of the day at the hill.

    This place is great! Atmosphere is a normal restaurant. Clean, nothing fancy. But the food! Best Polish food I have had. Everything is well prepared and delicious. Best to call ahead since it tends to be busy in its limited hours. It's only open for lunch sadly, but the owner has kids and trouble getting a babysitter. The service is friendly enough, but this place is all about the food. Potato pancakes are so fire! Pierogi sampler is absolutely awesome. Never had a bad meal here.

    Kielbasa to die for!

    As authentic as it gets! Delicious kielbasa & pirogies. Also had potato pancakes (amazing!) Samples everything!

    Husband and wife team providing Polish cuisine. Portions are large and very flavorful. Staff is super friendly and helpful. We both enjoyed our meal and will definitely be back.

    Pierogi
    Allison C.

    I had a rough visit at the dentist nearby and was wanting to grab some food before heading home. I've always loved pierogis, so to find this shop so close was a delight! I was able to find the menu easily online, and when I walked in I found a few tables with older folks sitting inside. The shelves were decorated with the old olive and pepper jars from the 90s but gave an interesting European vibe to the place. I went to the front counter where the young man told me I could take a seat with a menu if needed but to order at the counter when ready. I ordered six potato cheddar pierogis with hot sauce and a drink, got the drink from the fountain and waited maybe a few minutes top for my food to arrive. These were so soft and tender with such a smooth filling, but still had a really nice crisp. A butter onion and bacon sauce adorned the top, a delightful mix with the Chalula provided to me. Upon leaving, I let the guy know that I could never go back to the frozen Mrs. Ts variety after trying theirs, and he laughed and said that's how they stay in business! When I let him know I wasn't local, he informed me that they sell them by the dozen in a variety of flavors. Naturally, I took two dozen home and they survived the car ride an hour and a half back north! Couldn't have been happier with this experience and I can't wait to go back to the dentist solely so I can stop here again. Great service, phenomenal food, and pre-pandemic pricing. Absolutely zero complaints!

    Food was great! Only in area for the week and didn't have great experiences with food in the area. This place absolutely redeemed Petoskey! Wish I would have fond this place earlier in week. I do wish they had later hours. Regardless...best food of the trip! Thank you Polish Kitchen.

    Homemade chicken soup
    Jim K.

    Had the homemade chicken soup and meat goulash with mashed potatoes - DELICIOUS! Endless bread and butter. Attentive, friendly service, food like mom used to make...a rare find these days. Clean and inviting dining room....highly highly recommend!

    Food is great and made to order ! We split the turkey avocado club on sourdough which was very…read morefresh we also split the buffalo ranch melt . It was warm, delicious, very tasty , a bit spicy and served on a really good soft bun with crispy edges. Perfectly cooked the sandwiches are served with orange slices , which is a nice break from chips or fries ! They have numerous coffe and matcha drinks hotv& cold. I tried the cold match blackberry lemonade and it was good and my hubby had the matcha raspberry latte and he really liked his. You know it's a great place when you unexpectedly run into the bride eating there the morning after her wedding!!! The only thing keeping me from giving this restaurant 5 stars ( because the food quality IS there !) is the bathroom situation. There's a very tiny sing men's and women's with a sink to wash hands inbetween. I didn't mind the " closet bathroom stall - I minded the dirty floor and the fact that when I went to wash my hands in the shared sink outside the stall in between the bathrooms , barely any soap dispenses! I went under 4 x just to get enough soap to get the buffalo sauce off of my hands. This is concerning because it makes you wonder if the cooks are bothering to try to get any soap on their hands ?! . Roast and Toast : *Clean the bathroom floors and get a new soap dispenser and I bet you'll get the stars and reviews your food deserves !

    I hate to give a bad review but I also hate the idea of NOT giving one at all because the service…read morewasn't up to par and I don't wanna complain. However... Because the place was populated (but not crowded) and my order was simple (a matcha and cranberry chicken salad) Filling my order was a lay-up. The drink came in a timely fashion but my sandwich was nowhere to be found. Add to that I was sitting in the very visible window seat, by myself...a fact made more obvious by the fact that no one was near me and I'm a black dude in a very white restaurant (basically making me even more obvious). Now to be clear: I DO NOT think this was racially motivated, I DO think , however, it was due to inattentive staff. Personally I'm also not a fan of having to go get my food when they call my name, ESPECIALLY if the drink and the food come out at different times. Too much up and down for me. Cute place but I was disappointed...which bums me out because I really WANTED to like this place. This will probably be my only time here (as I am just passing through) and, sadly, this was the impression I was left with.
