    Had a lunch meeting here. Cute spot. Our server, whom I'm sorry can't recall her name, but I'm sure she's one of their seasoned servers, was absolutely delightful. She had great recommendations, very attentive and just super nice. I was shocked at the portion sizes, they were HUGE! We started the meal with the potato pancakes, which I thought were delicious. Came with a side of sour cream and applesauce. I ordered the buffalo chicken salad, this was a family size salad, and they provided almost a bottle of dressing, which I wasn't mad about. My only thing the chicken was hammered and way over cooked. A Caesar salad was ordered at the table, again huge bowl, a breakfast plate of a veggie omelette and the polish Reuben which everyone loved. Definitely would go back when I have a taste for polish food.

    I had a very good business lunch at the Polish Villa! There is something for everyone and they were even serving breakfast dishes at lunch. We started with the potato pancakes... so good... freshly grated and served with sour cream... I had the polish Reuben as my entree and it was really good! ... lots of corned beef , Swiss cheese, sauerkraut, Russian dressing served on a big potato pancake... delicious. Service extremely friendly! Welcoming atmosphere with lots of seating.

    Met up for a work lunch with coworkers at Polish Villa. It has been about 20 years since I have been there and was pleasantly surprised! The service was excellent and the atmosphere was very homey just like I remembered. We made it just in time to pick between breakfast and lunch foods. I chose the veggie omelette which hit the spot, while the others chose the polish ruben and salads. The portions were huge and the food was cooked well. I definitely think we will be back.

    Polish platter

    A must try. Came here with the family on a cold weekend afternoon, and it wasn't super busy. Service was friendly and polite. I ordered a sampler to try various things, and it was all so good! Definitely worth it. There aren't too many authentic polish places, so be sure to hit this spot up when looking for a good pierogi!

    My husband and I stopped in on the Saturday after Christmas. The restaurant seemed busy with a large funeral luncheon, and another large party who seemed to be having a holiday celebration . There were also a handful of other small parties such as ours. As a result, the service was a bit slow with only one (1) hostess (who also took drink orders and bussed/cleaned tables). Our server was apologetic regarding the delay and attentive - making sure that we had everything we needed and continued to check in with us throughout the meal. When our meal was served, it was well worth the wait. I selected the Polish Platter - Golumbki, 2 Kielbasa (they offer smoked and fresh - I chose smoked), 2 pierogi (choice of potato, farmers cheese, or sauerkraut, vegetable (I had sweet & sour cabbage, potato (I selected potato pancake which was served with applesauce and sour cream, and rye bread and butter. The platter also comes with soup or salad and I opted for the chicken soup with kluski noodles. There was enough food for two (2) meals - in fact, I took home my leftovers and had them for dinner later that night!). My husband selected the pork chop platter with mashed potatoes and apple sauce. He also added the smoked kielbasa ($5.95 for 2 large links). Everything was delicious and I believe that everything (except the apple sauce) was homemade. My only complaint (and reason for not giving a 5-star review) is that the restrooms need some serious attention-deep cleaning and updates. While this wasn't our first visit to the Polish Villa, I'm glad to say the quality is still great and it won't be our last!

    My wife and I have been putting off trying Polish Villa for years because we usually end up at a chain restaurant when we make the trip to Buffalo. But tonight we had a great opportunity to go since the hotel we were at was just a few miles away. The food was amazing! Was so impressed with my Polish Platter I ordered with a variety of homemade foods. My wife got the pork chop/perogi dinner and was just as satisfied. I was hesitant to try the golabki with my platter because I'm not too fond of stuffed cabbage, but it was the best part of my meal hands down! Our server as well as the manager and staff made us feel welcome and made sure we're were taken care of. Was very homey inside which made us feel comfortable. Will be back for certain......probably with other family members.

Comes with rye bread and butter, macaroni salad, potato salad, coleslaw AND choice of potato. No bad choices here. Food is authentic and homemade. Great people, great food, great price and great service. Nice comfortable atmosphere too! This is the best deal in town! Everything was delicious and served hot and fresh! Go get some!

    I brought family and friends on a trip back home to Buffalo for a military promotion ceremony and I wanted to let them have a taste of traditional Polish food. Here's a restaurant my parents use to bring me to as a little boy. We had a fantastic dinner and it brought back so many wonderful memories. Polish Villa is a community staple. Can't wait to go back.

Their private label BBQ sauces are great, and my favorite is Fireberry, but really they're all phenomenal! I love the kind greetings we get as we enter this nostalgic train car diner.

Food was ready about five minutes after my scheduled time, which for as busy as they were, I thought that was great timing. Ordered the big sampler, with pulled chicken, pulled pork, brisket and ribs! Platter is a nice size with large portions, four of us ate on it. The pulled chicken for me was a stand out, so good! 10 piece chicken wings, cheeseburger with fries, pizza logs and crab cake platter. For our sides we tried the mac and cheese, pasta salad, baked beans, mash potatoes and sweet potatoe fries. Everything was good and would get again, except the crab cakes. These were just not good, very fishy, and burnt. The pizza logs were huge! The Mac and cheese had no seasoning, but was cheesy and after little salt and pepper wasn't to bad. Definitely on my top three favorite BBQ spots! I forgot pictures, but enjoy the video!

That is to say, that first cup of coffee should have some cream and bliss in its confines. Such zen calm is caught before the crowds descend on the breakfast rush at the Swan St Diner. The long therapeutic hug that your stomach needs awaits in the early morning hours at Swan Street. In addition to the damn fine cup of coffee they brew, breakfast is there for you. from sunny side up eggs & bacon to Blueberry pancakes, the skillful kitchen crew gets it, gets me, and along with a glass of the fresh squeezed oJ, i always depart feeling like the day ahead can at least be solved a little easier since I fueled up among great food, adorably tasty hot donuts, proper coffee, laid back groovy tunes and an awesome staff, some of which took pride in having my coffee sitting on the table. I might be a tad predictable (guess I'm there with some frequency), but that has its upsides. First hour of the day has the staff ready and the groovy tunes to go along with the great food will get your day going right.

    I don't make it over to Cruisers Diner often, but when I do, I leave very full and happy!…read more A family member and I arrived around 10:45am on a Friday and scored a parking spot in the small parking lot facing Harlem Rd. in Cheektowaga. We walked in and were surprised with how busy it was with many tables and booths filled. The waitress told us we could grab any booth or table and she'd be over with menus. I have to give a shoutout to our waitress as she was the only one working, taking care of everyone and doing a fantastic job! She was so nice and personable and made sure to check on us periodically. After we got our coffee and waters, she took our order and let the two of us relax and chat until our plates arrived about 15 minutes later. For breakfast I ordered two buttermilk pancakes and added chocolate chips (an extra $1.99) from the "Hub Caps" section of their breakfast menu. I will tell you right now, any normal person will NOT finish both pancakes! Wow, their pancakes are ginormous! Both were jam-packed with chocolate chips and topped with dollops of whipped butter. They were made perfectly - hot and fluffy! I don't know how but I managed to ALMOST eat both, but had to throw in the napkin about three-quarters of the way of my second pancake. I managed to impress our waitress - She'd never seen anyone eat as much of the pancakes as I did in the two years she's been working there. hahaha I'll be honest, of the breakfast places I've been to around Buffalo, Cruisers Diner, as of 2025, definitely serve up my favorite pancakes, not just because they're huge and VERY affordable, but they are cooked perfectly and they don't skimp on the extras, I mean there were a ton of chocolate chips both inside and outside. Cruisers Diner isn't upscale, fancy, but I don't want it to be! The 1950's style diner is comfortable and relaxing with friendly staff, is affordable, serving up quality food, and incredibly generous portions. I look forward to coming back, but for the sake of my stomach, I need to either ask for ONE pancake or learn to control myself by stopping at the second and taking it to-go! haha
