Pork Cutlet with mashed potato and house salad

I was surprised to come into the restaurant on a Friday night and see it empty! I am glad I came here because the food is absolutely delicious. I will definitely be coming again and will tell my friends to try! We got the potato pancakes, polish combination (kielbasa, pierogies, stuffed cabbage), and meat pierogies for apps. Entrees included pork and chicken cutlets and cutlet de volly. For dessert we had the chefs blintzes with cheese - one with blueberry and one with strawberry. Highly recommend everything!

Absolutely delicious from beginning to end. The 3 of us have very different tastes and we ALL were so happy. Already planning our next time.

Fried mixed pierogis & sour cream
Tania G.

Pierogis get 5 stars! Best I've ever had. We had the mixed serving - potato-cheese, potato-mushroom and potato-spinach. One order friend and the other boiled (SERVED W/ FRIED ONIONS & SOUR CREAM OR APPLE SAUCE) we chose the sour cream. We also ordered the house salad which came served as an array of different colorful and tasty choices. EVERYTHING was absolutely delicious. The ambiance is cute and cozy - lots of free pure oxygen with all the plants around which made it feel very organic. Service was friendly. We will be back!

Excellent, home cooked, authentic Polish food. Really tasty & enjoyable. Highly recommended

House Salad
Patricia P.

Polonica is great. Hands down a great option for comfort food in the Bay Ridge area. They are very consistent with their food quality and service. Portions are great and the menu is expansive and worth exploring. The restaurant has great veggie options as well as all the Polish classics. I have been coming here for a while. Here's what I usually get: House Salad (don't miss this) Mushroom & potato pierogi (served with sautéed onions) Red Borscht With Croquet (chicken croquet) Beverage: Kompot - Homemade fruit punch. + A blintz if I feel like waddling home Think crepe with filling - super yummy and sharable

Barley Soup
Carissa C.

Small unique restaurant with amazing food. The service is very fast. The barley soup was a hearty filling soup. The pierogis fried were a crisp crunchy bite every time. Lots of vegetarian options. Will be coming back to try more.

The service was good and the food was yummy. Decent price for dinner. Nice cute spot in Bay Ridge.

Stuffed cabbage to go.
K W.

The food is good, never did dine in, usually I just get take out. My favorite is the red borscht and stuffed cabbage.

Menu cover
Suzanne R.

Known for the best Perogi in Brooklyn. Many more traditional polish dishes on the menu. So many soup choices all homemade....Barley, Mushroom, Cucumber , Vegtable, Ukrainian Borscht, Bean, Tomato, Sauerkraut (!!!!!), chicken noodle, Red Borscht with dumplings or potato croquet, White Borscht & Tripe. Combination platters offer a variety of tasting combos worth trying! You will not be disappointed & will look forward to many return visits.

Rude message from the owner.
Elba S.

The food doesn't taste fresh, is not great and it is pre-prepared. And have a rude service.

From the moment we arrived, the service was flawless -- warm, incredibly attentive, and perfectly paced. The refreshments were so great for a celebration. The Cocktails: Expertly crafted and sophisticated. It was refreshing to have drinks that were perfectly balanced and not overly sweet. The coffee was served alongside dessert, it was rich and the perfect finishing touch to a wonderful meal. While the Filet Mignon was a popular and well loved choice among our group, and the Meatballs were universally raved about for being truly excellent, the real showstopper for me was the Chicken Parmesan. I don't typically order steak, so I was delighted by this choice. The cutlet was impressively sized yet elegantly thin, showcasing the high quality of the chicken. It was served with a side of creamy mashed potatoes, which was such a comforting and delicious pairing. It did remind me of visiting Germany believe it or not like a schnitzel style cutlet but still very italian if that makes any sense. If you visit, you simply cannot miss the fried eggplant appetizer with burrata. It is divine! This dish alone would be the perfect excuse to drop by for a casual dinner date or a "girls' night out" centered around appetizers, wine, and to try a dessert. I would absolutely return!

The fried calamari could've been less oily, as this took away from the crunch; also slightly overcooked. Baked clams were decent. Salmon was cooked to perfection. Pizza was great! They reheated for us, since our group was too busy chatting. Desserts - phenomenal! Drinks- ehh. Brunch menu - French toast was decent. The salmon over hash brown , was lacking a touch of something , couldn't pinpoint what was lacking. Chicken and waffles, decent, wasn't the best I've had. Service- jonathan was our waiter during brunch and also our bartender. He's GREAT! During service dinner, we had a female waitress and I felt she lacked attention to details and couldn't flag her down when we wanted something. Overall, service is a hit or miss , I guess? If you're looking for an intimate dinner, nope. Love their vibes and music playing in the background. You might need to "shout"'to hear

Another bonus is the eclecticism of the patrons. I've only eaten there twice snd both times it was excellent. Looking around at what's on other people's plates, food looked really yummy. The last time I was there a girl sitting at the bar next to me was eating the ribs. They looked so delicious. A great pig out meal if you don't mind the calories in the fat. But boohoo, I couldn't order the dish because she was eating the serving of ribs .booHoo, I missed put this time, but am determined to have those delicious ribs soon! Another thing that impressed me... They have regular hamburgers, and smaller hamburgers for when you're not that hungry or watching your calories or watching you're spending . Which ever you order they are both delicious accompanied by wonderful french fries and a yummy creamy mystery dip served on the side.

Very cozy and had some eclectic decor. Service was quick and friendly too. Would stop by again!

I pass this place daily, zoomin' by I'd see Philadelphia something. The video gave a full explanation and why I need to put Philadelphia Grille in my lunch rotation. Walking inside, I know what I want. Steak with white american cheese with the works (onions, peppers, and hot peppers) There's an option for mayo, I'm not sure who's getting mayo on their cheesesteak but hey, you do you! The owner comes to the front and I tell him I saw this spot on social media. Everything looks amazing, I can't wait to try my sandwich. How long have you been in business? I'm expecting 18 months, he tells me over 30 years?? Wow! Not only is Philadelphia Grille a sandwich shop but they're also serving pizza for decades. I must point out, Philadelphia Grille is a very small spot. Walking inside, you're faced with a small counter. Once you have your food, they have tables and chairs in a covered lanai. I'd be a chilly Billy eating my sandwich so I took it to go. Once I get back to my Brooklyn Fortress of Solitude I dig in. The cheesesteak my way? Dynamite. Italian bread from Brooklyn wrapping up a cheesy meat fest. Philadelphia Grille did everything right in Brooklyn! I can't wait to come back and try the roast pork. And then mix it up the following week with a grilled chicken sammy.

Open kitchen and limited amount of seats let us keep the place cozy and intimate, just like home. We make sure to buy from local purveyors, coffee roasters, and bakers." Home is where the heart is and there is nothing quite like a home cooked meal. I have to say most Bay Ridgians enjoy dining local and in our neighborhood. I love to support neighborhood gems because majority of restaurant owners here, love their clients, establish loyalty through cooking delicious food and provide consistent great customer service. I was in the mood for a " comfort food"breakfast, you know, eggs, avocado, mozzarella, tomato, deliciousness and I found it on the menu simply named "Breakfast Sandwich". Which consists of voila: Mozzarella, avocado, tomato jam, arugula, crispy bacon, dijonaise, sunny side up egg between multigrain toasts. I ordered this sans the bacon ( requested turkey bacon which they do not have). What arrived in my plate was this decadent open faced egg sandwich that looked delectable.. and was!! Let's first talk about the wheat toast: I tasted it naked and it simply melted in my mouth. The ingredients worked well together, perfect synchronicity. I used one half of the toast to sop up any fallen ingredients. Highly recommend! For a drink, I wanted something a bit different, thus, ordered the Mango Mint Peach tea, fruity with a hint of mint. Loved it and went well with the Sammy! There are lovely options besides breakfast sandwiches like quinoa, oatmeal, granola, pancakes, French toast.. breakfast is served all day and lunch is served @noon. I arrived before 12 and was told I can order breakfast or lunch. It has a cozy, intimate vibe which I love.. one where you can dine solo, or do work or read or just enjoy the fabulous food. I will make "The Common" my home away from home. Additionally, there are cooking classes in their Park Slope location; the courses look great: Italian feast, Moroccan cooking, Wine Pairing and many more. Check out their website for more info. More to come from me.. The Common is located on 9406 3rd Avenue

It took about 10-15 minutes for us to get seated and the service was so friendly. There was so many delicious dishes and I decided to go with the lebanese skillet breakfast and a cappuccino. My friend got the pulled pork bowl and we decided to get the pancake to share. The dishes came out pretty quickly and at the same time. It was so hearty and filling and wasn't heavy at all. The pancake also had a great taste and crunch from the skillet. It wasn't sweet at all so it was easier to eat. The portions are perfect! The staff and ambiance are so lovely and I'm looking forward to trying the other dishes.
