As somebody who has never been a fan of Polish cuisine, this place changed my mind. I went when they first opened and had a great meal. The potato pancakes really stuck out to me. After a year I decided to come back when I heard they had Polish tacos. One taco was enough to fill me up but I mistakenly got two. The mix of kielbasa, bacon, cheese, and that pierogi shell was so delicious. I didn't think the combination would work but I was so wrong. I'm definitely in a hurry to go back just for those. Thankfully they're now a staple on the menu! Thomas did a great job explaining the tacos to me and was extremely friendly. I regret not coming here more but definitely will be returning soon! read more

PolishPlate - Polish Taco - Polish Near Me - Southington, Connecticut

Amazing! I've driven by this place when I stayed at the Courtyard and I finally had dinner there. The kielbasa and pierogies are super tasty! I don't know why I waited so long to go there. read more

I got takeout last night, everything was delicious. I love the kielbasa, and the mushroom soup. My wife loves the stuffed cabbage.

Great food, great service. Recently dined here twice in the past 2 weeks with family. The food is delicious, and the servers are great. My favorites are the stuffed cabbage, polish taco, and the beet soup. Also favorite sides are beet salad and cucumber salad. There's a decent selection of good polish beers, and deserts. I would definitely recommend to anyone craving polish comfort food. read more

OK, I admit. This wasn't my first choice for a Thanksgiving dinner, but few options without arches out front. A friend said I had to go, so I obliged, rather than starve. She had wisely ordered a few things ahead (for take-out). Then I graze the counter, and added five more things. ALL so delicious!!! Good thing - I had enough leftovers for a week! :) I hadn't had Polish food much, but this was good. I told a Polish friend from NY (who followed me at work) that he MUST try it - he did, and agreed, this was incredible food. And the gentleman behind the counter was very helpful aiding my selections, and courteous and friendly along the way. If you have ANY interest in unique food, of Polish food, this is a MUST GO place!! I'm SO glad I did. read more

Stopped in while passing thru Southington. Kielbasa was on point and the pierogies were good. Next time I will try the sautéed pierogies. Good price and a lot of food. Definitely could feed two with one plate. read more

Legit polish food! The stuffed peppers were good. Not the best, but good. The peirogi's were very good. Some of the best I've had. Get them with bacon and onions! I recommend this restaurant if you're in the neighborhood! read more

Me and my friend were talking about Polish food and I got hungry. Only this restaurant was open on a Monday so I stopped in. Oh.. my gosh is this food fantastic!! So flavorful. Make sure you order the pierogi with bacon and onions and a side of sour creme!! Very friendly owner who chatted with me while I ate read more

PolishPlate - Sauteed Pierogi (10) beef and pork (5) and potato and cheese (5) - Polish Near Me - Southington, Connecticut

More of a take out place, pierogies were fine, as was the stuffed cabbage, kielbasa and a very large potato pancake. Hearty Polish fare. I only took away a star since it wasn't really a true sit-down restaurant- more of a fast food atmosphere. Otherwise, the food was really good. read more

Small place down the street from Target. This place is about 9 miles from my house. I frequent the restaurants up in New Britain often enough. The closeness of it appealed to me. So I ordered a few things on my Target app and figured I would have some lunch before I picked my stuff up. The young woman at the counter was super pleasant. The ordering process is pretty streamlined and straight forward. Everything is laid out for you. I was baptized in a Church for Polish immigrants. Whereas my Polish is not good, I could order a meal in the mother tongue. You all of you guys not from the neighborhood, it's all laid for you in English. Don't feel daunted to go in there if the idea of foreign food might be intimidating. I ordered the Polish plate. First and foremost, the placki (potato pancakes) are banging. Lightly fried, crisp on the edges. Some people have the tendency to go a little heavy with the flour when they make potato pancakes. These had a great texture. The Kielbasa was pleasantly roasted. The casing itself had been browned to beautiful color but the meat inside remained tender. The pierogies appeared to be hand made and I got them covered in onions and bacon. Because why wouldn't you? The dough was pleasantly soft. That's the major difference in store brand or I'll made pierogies. Often times, you will get overly thick or tough dough with your pierogies. The dough was very good here. The bigos was also very good. For those unfamiliar, it's sauerkraut and fresh cabbage cooked down with pork and kielbasa and tomatoes into a stew. It's probably labeled Hunters stew on the menu. It was very good and there were visible pepper corns and bay leaves in it. I had a really nice meal and pleasant service there. I feel it's a good addition to the area. Looking forward to going back. read more

Food wasn't bad. I really liked the pierogi. I've had better polish food but I would come back since it's close to me. The stuffed cabbage definitely needed more sauce. It's like fast food Polish with the assembly line concept which isn't bad as long as you expect that going in. read more

Delicious food! I think this and all restaurants lately could use more help. We felt bad that there weren't enough people working. The counter-person was waiting tables in between customers, and there was only one person in back cooking. Great place overall! I would still give them 5 stars because despite the wait and the short amount of help, the staff was very friendly and it was also extremely clean in both the eating area and restroom. read more

The food was excellent. The atmosphere was nice. I liked that you could eat inside or outside. The place looked immaculate very clean!

Amazing service- but get there early! They had a line out the door on the Saturday I visited at 4 pm. Very good pierogi. Good kielbasa. Good sauerkraut salad. Can't wait to go back and try some other items. Pricy, but worth not having to go all the way to New Britain. read more

PolishPlate - Stuffed cabbage, kielbasa, potato pierogi - Polish Near Me - Southington, Connecticut

Food is excellent the staff there are so amazing!!Cute place to sit and just enjoy your food!

Limited menu because they are still new, but the food was delicious and the staff was friendly. We got chicken in dill sauce, ground cutlets, potato pancakes, potato cheese pierogi, and cucumber salad. The chicken was delicious and tender, I loved it! The ground cutlets were good, but they didn't have the mushroom sauce to go with it like the menu says, I think the mushroom sauce really would have taken it to the next level. The pierogi were tasty, and came with your choice of onions and/or chopped bacon. The potato pancakes were nice and crispy on the outside with good flavor. Finally, the cucumber salad was nice and fresh and crisp. Over all very happy with the food, we will definitely go back! We look forward to when they have their full menu. read more

We have been here 3 times. All 3 times the food was delicious. And all 3 times the service was horrible. They only have 1 person doing EVERYTHING! That person takes orders at the counter, fills the many take out orders, answers the phones, and refills the food on the line. We end up waiting a long time to order. We get our food a little at a time and don't get to eat with the people we are having dinner with because we didn't get all the food together. I think since all 3 times I have been here, the service has been the same, it must be how they run the restaurant. It is unfortunate. read more

The pierogis were absolutely amazing! My dad and I had 1/2 cheese and 1/2 meat. My husband had the hungry man. He thought it was excellent! My mom had the taco and said it was really good. This is a place not to be missed! Portion size was large and we had leftovers! We ordered crepes to go and they were so tasty for breakfast. Definitely will be back! read more

Having grown up on stuffed cabbage and pierogies in a Russian/Polish family I feel compelled to share that Polish Plate might even be better than my babushka's home cooking! Would love to see some borscht on the menu in the future. Absolutely fantastic! read more

All I can say on the night stay over in town is pure yummy! I walked over for some rogis and potato pancakes. Delicious and great staff there! Highly recommend! read more

Great food, good service, CANNOT HANDLE HOLIDAY PRE-ORDERS. If you are running a business it is imperative that you don't promise something you can't deliver. I put my holiday order a week in advance. Went to pick it up and it wasn't ready. Waited an hour, the place was crowded with people waiting for their orders (during COVID-19) and a line 10 people deep outside waiting for their orders. I walked out without my order. I like this place, but there needs to be more organization regarding pre-orders of holiday meals. Maybe if they did a dry run before the holiday with the kitchen, gave certain cooks different jobs, etc. I will be back again but not to order a holiday meal. read more

Don't know about their food or services just know they're not customer focused. A few weeks ago I gave The Polish Plate a comment on their Facebook page and as a result they offered to send me a gift card for their store. I responded with my address and that's the last I've heard from them. Guess they're too busy. read more

Spending 10 weeks in CT for work and saw Polish Plate across from my hotel. Love their food. Pork with some pierogi add some cabbage rolls and it's just like what Mom used to make. read more

Ordered the Polish plate for me and the Taste of Poland for my husband. Both dishes were delicious. I will be back to try more soon!!

I have eaten here an average of 2 times a week for the last few months and could not recommend it more. The food is spectacular with a large array of authentic options as well as a few modern experiments unique to them. If you are in a rush there is a large spread kept warm for you to choose: Meats, vegetables, pierogi, soups, desserts, as well as options for to order plates that are equally as delicious. If you are unsure of what to have, the folks working here are kind, knowledgeable, patient, and will help you build a plate to suit your desires. Overall this is a small space that places the quality of its food and service above all else and you can tell the moment you walk through the door and the moment you take your first bite. read more

Incredible food! Chicken & pork cutlets had amazing flavor, mashed potatoes w/gravy yummy. All sides were delicious and best pirogies ever. I wish I lived here so I could eat here often, but live in Florida and just passing though. I recommend the Polish Plate and will return in the spring read more

In the past we've given this lovely little homestyle Polish restaurant rave reviews. Sadly the last 2 times we purchased the golupki they were all rice, with hardly any meat in them. And the price went up. Their sauce I have to say is delicious. The staff is friendly but be prepared to wait in line because each patron is given as much time as they need to order. If they have desserts that day they are yummy! read more

I was craving cabbage rolls for weeks so I was happy to see this place opened up, hoping I wouldn't need to drive to New Britain for my Polish fix. I was staying at the hotel across the parking lot. It was busy for Friday night dinner. The food is served cafeteria style and the girls (they still looked like they were in their teens) boxing up the food didn't seem to have much experience. There was a lot of confusion on how to order between takeout and dining in. Someone came out with ribs which were piping hot and smelled so good so I ordered that plus cabbage rolls and sides of pierogies, mashed potatoes, beets and coleslaw. I was literally maybe 500 feet away, so the food should still had been hot. The ribs were really good! But I kept chewing on foil that was stuck on the bottom which really annoyed me. The beets and coleslaw were also good but serving size was bigger than the cabbage rolls! Mashed potatoes were COLD, cabbage rolls were COLD and DRY, consisting mostly of undercooked rice, couldn't find any meat and only a sparse amount of tomato sauce. It was the worst cabbage roll I've ever had in my entire life! Same with the pierogies, they were COLD and gummy, just awful! I ended up throwing out a majority of the food. Total waste of money! read more

Tried this place with 2 others. So many issues. We placed our order at the counter, a few minutes later they call our name and we get up to grab our plates. Two of the three were ready and they said the third one would be a couple minutes Well two of us finished our meals and brought our dirty dishes back up to the counter and our 3rd person had still not gotten her food. It finally came and she ate and we sat there and waited. We were not happy to say the least. Other issues When u order and pay they don't tell you if they will bring you your food or if you are supposed to go up to counter to get it. When finished I have no idea if I'm supposed to leave dirty dishes on table or bus my own table. If bussing your own table there is no place to bring dirty dishes except to the counter where everyone is ordering and picking up meals. There is one person at the counter so be prepared to wait in a slow line. She takes your order, takes your payment and then prepares your meal. Everything comes from a steam table or whatever you call it and the food is luke warm at best. It also lacks any flavor and you will need to add salt and pepper. $12.00 per meal and you get choice of 2 sides. A side of pierogis is 2 small pierogis and a side of beets is like a pint. More pierogis and less beets please. It was just a chaotic experience. Maybe after a while they will work out the kinks but if not they won't last. When I was there I saw people leaving because they were tired of waiting in line. Good luck to them hope they read reviews. read more

Awesome food, good beer, and amazing, knowledgeable service! Pierogi and potato pancake are legit.

So glad to have a fun new food option in this area!!! The pierogis and kielbasa were amazing and the cucumber salad was great. My husband got the stuffed cabbage and he loved his, too. Will definitely be back! read more

Excellent, the best Polish food I've had at a restaurant. Ordered the Create a Plate with two stuffed cabbages, two potato & cheese Pierogi, two mushroom Pierogi and sour cream - DELICIOUS!!! I grew up one mile from Hamtramck Michigan, which at that time had the second largest Polish population in the USA. Anyhow, over the years I've had lots of great Polish foods, this is my first trip to central Connecticut, and I was delighted when I saw the Polish Plate. I was also suspect, since it is near impossible to get good polish food at a restaurant. My carry out order was wonderful, the stuffed cabbage was savory and not sickening sweet like many restaurants serve. I'll be in town for another couple days and can only think about going back for round two at the Polish Plate. read more

Delicious! Got "The Polish Plate" and tried all the pierogis except the fruit ones and all was phenomenal - definitely going back!

Went the first day the opened and the food was phenomenal. Will deff be going back again for some more of them pierogis.

We came here right after they opened. The menu was limited. I got two of all the perogies (expect the one with mushrooms) and the potato pancakes. It was a little pricey but I liked the potato and cheese perogies! They were extremely busy and seemed a little overwhelmed. We went to leave and my friend noticed some red on our to go bag which she asked the girl working if it was blood. She said yes and got us a new order of food but the whole thing was really bizarre. I honestly thought it might have been beet juice. The food was okay and service also okay but they're a new business and I'm sure there are kinks to work out. I would come back for the potato and cheese perogies! read more

Our first time here and we are definitely returning! The service was friendly and the food was really good. We tried the potato and cheese pierogi's, potato pancake, stuffed cabbage, kielbasa and the hunters stew. Really yummy! Thank you for a great experience. read more

My husband and I love the polish plate! The staff is friendly and the food is amazing. We'll definitely be coming here a lot!

The potato pancakes were nice and crispy. The pierogi were soft and supple. I came here on a Sunday around 5pm and the line was very short and service was fantastic. read more
