Amazing! You'd be foolish not to try this place for Polish food. Everything is fresh every time I go there. And, I do go very often to take food out. The staff are some wonderful people. I sometimes find myself walking in to grab something (even when I don't really need anything) just to have a laugh. Parking isn't easy here. But, go around the block once or twice - it is worth the effort. I live nearby. So, more for me. Give these folks your business. It's a wonderful neighborhood food shop. read more

Everyone needs to know the potato pancakes are now $2 each. I've never experienced the $1 potato pancakes. Last week when I went it was $1.50. I'm not sure what it is going to cost next week. read more

I did not feel welcome at this establishment. There was no greeting or help for me. On top of that, they charge a service fee if you pay with credit card. And they do not tell you beforehand. Nor is there a sign indicating such a charge. read more

This review is only based on what I ate, which was just the dessert. I came in here with my cousin after trying to get into peter pan donuts but did not want to wait 30 minutes. We shared a donut, apple pancake and a crepe. Donut tasted dry with little amount of filling. If you didn't tell me it was an apple pancake, I would not have been able to tell there was apple in it. The crepe filling was pie filling, tasted artificial. The coffee was deli coffee. By the reviews, your polish food is decent. If you going to sell dessert and compete with peter pan... your going to have to up your game a lot more. read more

Everything here is good, but I particularly enjoyed the meatballs, vegetable salad and Breton beans. Every time I'm in Green Point I try to stop by. read more

Hands down the BEST Polish food in NY. It's a lunch counter vibe, lots of fresh food, food to go, eat inside or outside. They're strong on vaccine proof which is great for customer safety. Vegan Vegetarian gluten free friendly too! read more

This place is very good!!!!!!!!! Great pirogies and stuffed cabbage. Would recommend.

My brother and I popped in here for a quick bite the other day because it looked kinda cute and we were curious about what they had. Everyone in the restaurant, maybe ten people including staff, was speaking Polish, so that was a good sign. We ordered pretty simple stuff, dining on a dime you know. I was surprised how much I could get for just four bucks. I had the meat crokiet and a potato pancake. My brother had the same plus beef stew (or maybe it was pork). They served his all together on one plate. Same with mine. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was homey, it was exactly what we needed. We saved a little room for Peter Pan Donuts, but next time I'll probably get some food to go as well. This is such a cool place. read more

Soooo goood. Came in for a lunch break and were not disappointed! The girls are super sweet and even let us use the restroom in the back Food came out a bit pricier than I expected, definitely not an go-to every day spot, that's why had to take out one star. read more

Wish this place was in my neighborhood. This old school, small and purely authentic place serves up some of the best Polish food I have ever eaten. From stuffed cabbage (vegetarian and with meat) to pirogies to hot/cold salads such as sauerkraut, red cabbage and beets, it's mouth watering comfort food at it's best. I normally take-out (and eat it all week) or sometimes eat-in. Worth the calories. Awaken your taste buds. read more

This is amazingly delicious Polish food. Always perplexed to see the huge line across the street at Peter Pan- I guess people don't know what they don't know. Everything I've tried here from the desserts (Apple pancakes and plum cake) to the soups, salads, hot foods, and kielbasa are downright awesome. It's all made onsite and they use quality ingredients - like butter rather than shortening or whatever they use across the street. The hot food is 10x better than Karczma. The girls behind the counter can be a little surly with non-native Polish speakers but that's the only drawback here. Great value to boot! Highly recommended for Polish in Greenpoint Went back and some of the prepared food was moldy. Kinda turned me off. Disappointing read more

Great variety of food and soups. Perfect for when I want some delicious simple Polish food. The meat croquettes were amazing.

The food taste just like the staff. NASTY! Ugh so sick of nasty people behind counters. The name is super cute so I wanted to give the place a shot... But looks like they just leave food out all day... So gross and very against health dept. Cons: nasty food Rude staff Food sitting out Smells very bad in store Pros: bottled lemonade read more

Food is fantastic, place is super cute. Not a dining destination unless you have a "bigos" craving but if you need good food very quickly it can't be beat. 5 stars for everything except the ordering process (would be much easier to have plate options instead of weighing stuff individually, as others have said). Gonna comment on stuff said in other reviews cuz I'm feeling irritable: 1) the ladies behind the counter are nice and polite they're just not perky and fake. Anyone who mistakes their lack of exuberance for "rudeness" needs to widen their horizons and check their sensitivity level. 2) based on my experience eating in Greenpoint, this place is no more expensive than other local spots and the food is SO much better. 3) people saying this is not "real" Polish food must have a deprivation mindset. The food here is excellent and traditional. True, it doesn't resemble the disgusting canteen version of Polish food served in some neighboring places. That's not a bad thing... read more

Pros: good food, unbeatable price. Cons: temporarily there was construction noise. A great little spot with a very reasonably priced Polish deli counter. At the time they had seasonal Kambuchia drink for just $3. Their Napoleon cake was laden with delicious vanilla cream. sweet cheese pancakes rolls were also on our. However, meat perogies tasted a bit strange. Seating area has cute decor, staff is friendly. I only wish they had a wider selection of food. read more

This place is so adorable and has wonderful food. Literally everything we tried was great, we especially loved the plum cake and apple cake.. And the store has has all kinds of cute tjotchkes everywhere you look so you feel like you're in a quaint Polish grandma's kitchen but it's run by her cool granddaughter... Very friendly staff and the patrons seem to pick up on the friendly vibe. I wish I lived closer otherwise I'd be there several times a week! read more

Oh boy, I mean I know Uber eats Often messes up orders but this was a real disaster. I have loved polish food for a good 20 years now and have pretty much gone to all the best spots and I guess now worst. I had a friend over and I've been raving about polish cuisine for ever and wanted him to experience it. Half my order wasn't there, no one said anything and they didn't follow any of the simple instructions my for the gravy onnnn the pyzy. The food came cold, there was very little meat in the pyzy which I get it's doughy but that was way less meat than actual pyzy would ever put in a pyzy . I will never go back and unfortunately my friend will never eat polish food again :( read more

Polka Dot serves simple and delicious Polish-fare. If you are unfamiliar, the staff behind the counter are friendly and will help you with any questions. I tried a couple of krokiet, bigos, and the beef tripe soup. I initially did not like the soup, but then it grew on me. read more

Came here for a cup of coffee and tea. Very cute spot w friendly service. They have a huge display of food you can order by the pound! A good amount of seating. Clean and relaxed ambiance. read more

Delicious and well-labeled vegan options, a godsend for vegans in Greenpoint. The vegan bigos, goulash, and stuffed cabbage are perfect.

Polka Dot is a super cute cafe in Greenpoint. I was walking along Manhattan Ave, saw this place from the other side, and just had to try this place! The decor makes you feel like you are sitting in someone's home. The plates are also cute and looks like the kind of plates you would use at home. Food is pay per pound. The cheese and potato pierogis with onions were my favorite. read more

best perogies I've ever had ! everything was cheap, ready to eat right then and there, and so so good.

Beautiful inside, I love the wood art. I've had better polish food before . They use a microwave to heat up the food , my food came out half cold . I ordered a mushroom soup , I had to ask for another one because I had no mushroom in my soup . The pieogri I had was mushroom and saukraft it was good but it was greasy . The tea was delicious. read more

This place is always amazing. I love their food and their customer service. The people working there are super sweet. The food is always consistent. Love you Polka Dot!!!!! read more

Awesome customer service when my friend and I went in there for authentic polish treats and eats. Place felt really homey and the staff were very lovely and genuinely kind. Carrot cake was awesome! read more

Polka Dot is as good as it gets when it comes to Polish food and it almost feels as if you are going home to Baba's. Based on the recommendation of my friend, she had been telling me about this place for years, so when I drove past it the other day, I immediately stopped and went in. Yum yum yum is literally me singing how beautiful the meats, homemade sides, blintzes, pyrohy, potato pancakes, and homemade soups look, smell, and taste. I was really in the mood for soup because it was raining and dreary and she had told me time and time again that I must have the chicken soup. Sadly, they were sold out (because it is that good) so I chose mushroom soup with wide egg noodles. The lovely woman behind the counter wearing a brightly colored floral apron that reminds me even more of my Baba heated it up for me and served it to me. It was delightful and exactly what I needed...until I saw the homemade blintzes out of the corner of my eye on the top shelf, and I had to have that; I ordered one with blueberry and it was superb. I also bought an apple pancake for grandpa and he cherished every single morsel. read more

This spot is a local favorite. I've been shopping at this place for years, especially as a backup for the equally awesome takeout from Taste of Russia (Brighton Beach). Their recent interior makeover is a very nice upgrade. Highly recommend the mushroom soup, daily fish dishes, and their polish sausage selection. Oh and if you are lucky enough and a duck lover like me, occasionally they have duck sausage or other duck yummies. read more

All you need to know about this place is they are rude and unprofessional. The food is bland and overpriced, but that's irrelevant because the customer experience is atrocious. Bad vibes all around. read more

3 stars for food, 5 stars for decor, this is an above average tasting Polish food spot that has decor that appeals to the changing demographics of the neighborhood. Prices are about 20% higher compared to other old local spots that are tastier and that most non-polish folks shy away from. Another downside, they do not make dinner/lunch plates, or to-go platters. you need order everything seperatly. But if you do not know Polish food you wont be disappointed. read more

Anyone who has written a bad review about polka dot is out of their damn minds. As a Hungarian who misses moms cooking like every minute of the day, Polish is as close as I'm getting and polka dot is like stepping into moms kitchen. Everytime I'm there I try something new and nothing disappoints. Stuffed cabbage is incredible and juicy, apple pancake is delicious, pierogies are great, coleslaw is the perfect amount of sweetness. The prices are ridiculously reasonable for what you get. Friend and I stuffed our faces there for $15, total. TOTAL. The girls who work there are nice polish girls who are always patient with me as I'm running back and forth trying to decide just how much food I can fit in my body in one sitting. They have lots of vegetarian options which is great too, and I love that they are keeping true to the polish neighborhood of greenpoint but with an updated vision for the future. I adore polka dot, please don't ever change read more

Polka Dot - This was one of the most filling and delicious meals I've had in awhile! Get the potato dumpling thing with meat, so good - Polish Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I've stopped eating here because of the amount of waste plastic this place generates. Even when you're eating in, they use separate plastic containers to weigh each kind of food and then THROW THE CONTAINER AWAY before putting the food on the plate. My last meal there, they used and disposed of (in the trash, no recycling there) four plastic containers just to weigh my food before serving it to me on a plate. If they switch to a per-serving price or switched to re-usable weighing containers i would eat there again. read more

Such a cute little Polish bakery/deli if I lived here Id come here for lunch often. I got to eat cheese perogi and the stuffed meat one as well as the potato pancakes. Not bad prices either next time I come to New York I'd love to make a pit stop here. The two girls at the counter were really friendly too! read more

A very nice deli/cafe in greenpoint. It's decorated in light, airy colors and it's open and comfortable. It's good for coming in to grab some sausages, cheese, and premade soups. Or you can sit at one of the tables and enjoy some warm food as well. I liked that they had a vegetarian stuffed cabbage with kasha inside (which is traditionally meat and rice), but it was a bit bland and had to be salted, for my tastes. The apple pie was okay but not great. I enjoyed the fried fish fillet very much along with the sauerkraut and mac and cheese. read more

Terrible service, terrible food. Decided to give these guys a try for lunch one day - had food delivered to the office. If you can call what they sent food... I ordered Red Borscht Soup and Blintz with Sweet Cheese and Strawberry. What I got was beet juice and a sad little crepe with an overcooked strawberry that has seen better days. Not to mention that they were extremely rude when I complained about the fact that the soup had literally nothing in it. Apparently, the Ukrainian Borscht Soup has all the vegetables in it, but I'm not going to give them another chance to find out if that's true. Stay away from this place. read more

Such delicious food and very friendly service. I feel like I'm eating food made by my friends mom. I suggest their stuffed cabage and sausage options. Great cole slaw. read more

This place is super cute. I was so happy when i went in the other day, on a rainy evening to get some warm quick dinner. I ended up getting the stuffed cabbage and some potato salad. Potato salad was delicious, stuffed cabbage was tasteless and not heated up. I looked around and even though everything looked so appealing i did get a feeling of worrying about the food being out all day more used like decor rather than freshly made or kept in proper temperature. I ended up with a stomach ache and indigestion probably because the food is not stored properly. I was genuinely sad because i was initially happy about finding good home made food with plenty of vegan options. I hope they get to improve this. read more

It's like home made, except that I wasn't grown polish, but I guess that's what it tastes like when you grew in a polish home. We go there, either to buy to go, or for a quick meal there, when we are in the rush at breakfast before going to work. The selection of salads and appetizers makes most of our purchases there: carrots, cucumber, coleslaw, radishes... most of them always good. The desert are also really cool. We got some sort of ricotta cheese cake that honestly was outranking many of those cheese cake places that think a bit too much they are the reference. Nice apple cake too. From time to time, I buy a Kilbasa - not an expert but very good to me. And the classic entrees are really really yummy. The hungarian pancake was something (though 1 is good for 4 people). Good comfort food, not always to heavy, which you could think at first. Was definitely rebranded to be cute and have a vibe more in line with the new inhabitants of the hood, but it's cool to still see a very diverse clientele there. Keep the good work! read more
