My late wife's family held so many events here over the years. From baptisms to birthdays to wedding showers. Occasionally, we just drove down here for a great Polish dinner and a couple of beers. With the doors closing for good I came down for one last hurrah and spent a couple of hours reminiscing with bil's and friends. The last meal here was just as phenomenal as the first. It was the perfect place for that close, personal ethnic atmosphere. The old world vibe was always in the air. The staff were the best. Always friendly, always receptive. It will all be terribly missed. Enjoy your retirement, I wish family or an expert Polish chef could just take over. Polanus will always have a special place in our hearts. 2/26 (12/25) read more

They are usually not very busy and you get seated and served right away. We will return again. read more

I'm so sorry to see that Polonus is going out of business. They have wonderful authentic Polish food. Thank you for the years of delicious dining. read more

It has been a long time since my last visit. Great service from Wanda and a fantastic meal in a relaxing Polish themed environment. I started with a fantastic bowl of czarnina, and then I had some fantastic Wiener Schnitzel - two pieces of pork along with some hot beets, sweet cabbage, and kluski with gravy. I also got two potato pancakes - wow, best I ever ate! Was too long since my last visit; I will need to rectify that. read more

Food was not very good. City chicken dry. Potato pancakes greasy porgies no flavor. Coming from a polish household you kind of know what by expect. Took as carry out to hospital even husband was very disappointed. read more

Used to go here all the time. Haven't been in a while. We got there, it was freezing (waitress snapped, "I'm not cold!"). The food was just ok but everything a la carte is very expensive...cucumber side salad $6?!? When we asked if we could have fried onions with the pierogis (onions are on the menu for an extra $1), we were told "no, we fry the pierogis". Ok, I guess no fried onions with fried pierogis then. Slightly rude, very cold, pricey. We will go to Sabina's. Too bad, this used to be my favorite! read more

My grandpa used to love to eat here, it's traditional Polish food close to home! He loved the duck blood soup, I prefer the cabbage! The cucumber salad is so delicious, I eat so much! My favorites are the kluski, the potato pancakes, the pierogis, and the crepes! You can get something called the Polish Feast, it has a little bit of everything! It's low frills and super authentic. Everyone is super nice and makes you feel like family! read more

This place is the real deal! Authentic polish food made from scratch, homemade! Absolutely delectable. My family and I tried stuffed cabbage, pierogis, kielbasa, potato pancakes. Everything was perfect. We really enjoyed the sides, especially the cucumber salad. The portions were humongous! Our waitress was friendly and efficient. We appreciated the delicious breadbasket as well. Absolute must to try this restaurant. read more

We tried the fried kielbasa and pirogies. Portions of meat was small but very tasty. We also tried the pickle soup which was very good. Homemade bread with fresh butter was also a plus. Batters fries and don't forget to ask for the sour cream!. Service by Katie was excellent. Extremely clean restaurant. Ample off street parking . Ok meal of soup, two dinners fir $34 and change. read more

The service was fast and friendly. Salads arrived first in short order. Soon after two perch dinners arrived. Very tasty and tender with good dumplings overflowing the plate. Six to eight pieces of perch deep fried to perfection. Large beer and wine choices as well. Polish themed food that's rib sticking good. read more

This place is known their pierogi and we probobly should have stuck to those. The pierogi and potato pancakes (polish latkas) were fantastic. The duck soup as my twelve year old said was "interesting but too ambitious ". The wienerschnitzel was too dry, the kielbasa and sauerkraut too bland. The cabbage rolls are too sweet... The place is very cute inside and has a lot of Polish memorabilia. If you like sweet wine, their cherry and honey wine is delicious. The staff is very friendly and accomodating but the place could use a good cleaning. read more

This place is authentic and delicious! They played contemporary Polish music which really set the vibe. Along with all of the Polish decor all over the place. The food was tasty, home cooking. Lots of choices and large portions for the price. Only one lady working the front of house and she was busy! Impressive family style atmosphere. Looking forward to being regulars! read more

Polonus Restaurant - Fried pork chops and the hungry pole feast! - Polish Near Me - Wyandotte, Michigan

Polonus is one of the last remaining authentic Polish restaurants in Metro Detroit. At a time there were scores of them especially in Hamtramck and around Warrendale on the west side. Not anymore. There's a few on the west side, a few in Oakland County. I'm not sure about east side. The pierogi are good but small. They feature a platter dish, stuffed cabbage and city chicken. Dill pickel soup is not bad. Nalesniki was very good (jelly filled blintz dessert). Opened early 80's, close to downtown Wyandotte. Very festive inside. Lots of windows. Safe neighborhood. Lots of parking. Credit and cash. Overall the experience was good. I would absolutely go back. This is my number 3 in the area, Polish village in Hamtramck is my #2, Polish Cultural center (Wawel) in Troy is #1. read more

Great authentic Polish cuisine. Highly recommended. City chicken is very good and so is the hungry Pole platter

Its amazing how one incredibly dismissive and disrespectful waitress can ruin an entire dining experience to the point that you vow to never go back. There are way too many restaurants in Wyandotte to treat your customers like this and think it's acceptable. read more

Great food and plenty of it! Service was awesome, the young lady that served us couldn't have been nicer! If you haven't tried this place, you seriously need to. read more

I've never had real polish food and my cousin dragged me here. She said it was the best that she's had even though she left Mi for the big Apple 20 years ago. read more

This is a very good Polish restaurant. My very Southern mom married my very Polish dad, and she learned how to cook like an expert. Her stuffed cabbage was to die for; she even nailed angel wings cookies. One thing this restaurant does differently is the way they make the potato pancakes. My mom's were more like hash-brown patties. Polonus makes a smooth, melt-in-your-mouth version. For those of you who didn't grow up on Polish food (btw, we all cleared the house when my grandma made kiszka), this is a nice place to experience the variety. Service can sometimes be spotty; thus, my one star off. read more

I went on Christmas Eve, thinking I would get a nice Polish meal. I was definitely wrong. I ordered a combo plate and asked if City chicken would be included, and he said yes. Unfortunately, it wasn't. The kielbasa wasn't grilled. It looked like he just took it out of the package and put it in my box. The stuff cabbage was laughable. After I was done rolling it out of the cabbage, it was a small tasteless piece of meat. They used tomato soup to top off the stuffed cabbage. The cucumber with sour cream had way to much sugar. This place was nothing like I expected. SABINA'S on Oakwood has it going on when it comes to Polish food. I was going to go there, but they were closed. Very disappointed! Oh, I wasn't the only one who thought the stuffed cabbage was tasteless and tasted like they put tomato soup over them. This coming from a family that had a larger order. First and last time I ever visit this place, again! read more

I visited this place for the first time on 924 2024. I stood at the door sign waiting to be seated for about five minutes before I had to ask them did I have to wait to sit he's gonna say no you can sit anywhere The waitress finally comes to the table and asked me. Can I take your order? I said I've never been here before. Can you tell me if the pierogies are sweet? If they're pickled like me I don't know. I don't eat the pierogies I said can you find out for me because I've never been here before she said nobody here knows nobody eats the food here so I thought that was interesting so I don't know why I should eat the food there if they don't eat the food there so I told her that I would go somewhere else where somebody knew something about the food they're serving. It explains a lot about every time I drive by there there's only it always looks close. It's not closed. There's nobody in there because they treat people like this, they are gonna be the collapse of their business. I don't recommend that you go there unless you don't wanna be treated with dignity and respect. read more

This is a great restaurant to visit with your family. The service was excellent and our server was so nice! She took very good care of our table! My husband loved his Bloody Mary. It was a meal in itself - Olive, celery, pierogi, pickle and a piece of sausage! The food is good too! read more

Polonus Restaurant - Special Bloody Mary - Polish Near Me - Wyandotte, Michigan

Always a good bet for Polish food. Pierogis and potato pancakes are always good. We will be back when that craving hits.

Our waitress may have been the nicest woman to ever exist! Seriously the best service we've had in a long time, and then the food was DELISH on top of it. The food was very authentic, according to my born and raised Polish boyfriend! The only note is that their fried Pierogi seems to be deep fried instead of pan fried like he's used to, but they were still delicious and the pierogi themselves were very authentic. we ordered the stuffed cabbage, potato and cheese pierogi, kielbasa, and all the fixings and I couldn't recommend them highly enough. so tasty, felt like I was in Poland! The decor helped that feeling too. All in all, absolutely worth a stop, this place is amazing! read more

Happiness be National Pierogi Day 2022 a six pack of Bacon Taters w Onion's and Sour Cream Wowed. I added a link of Smoked Polish Kielbasa chopped up to stuff pcs inside Pierogi. Yes it's a fun delicious treat you need to try. The grandkids took over just after Covid, grandson a very talented chef and his wife Katie a superstar runs the front of house. They added some exciting new items and special flavors of Pierogi. I crave several times per year the Polish Soup Czarnina gets its name from the Polish word for "black"--czarny--referring to the soup's dark color. It is typically made with duck blood, dried fruits, and vinegar which prevents the blood from clotting, giving it a sweet-sour flavor, much loved by Eastern Europeans. They add jumbo Raisins and thin Spatzle Noodles a whole bowl on the cheap very best ever eaten WOW. She had the Famous Hungry Pole Plate a little of everything with Polish Creamy Cucumber outstanding. Ms Katie has added fancy cocktails for the young crowd in Wyandotte. Truly excited to see what the next couple decades bring. Grandma and two son's constructed the place from ground up back in the 80's, so Happy keeping in the family. #polonusrestaurant @polonus_restaurant #polishfood #nationalpierogiday #polishcombo #czarnina #pierogi #downriverclassic #downriverfriendseat read more

Probably the best Polish food downriver, and in my top three ever. They actually have dill pickle soup every day, and it's delicious. My Grandpa, who has claimed to dislike Polish food all his life (he's Hungarian, my Gram was half Polish), actually loves it here. He even tried the dill pickle soup and loved it. So, when we do lunch dates, this is the spot! I happily drive from Livonia to meet him here Downriver. The Polish combo, though I can never eat the whole thing and never plan to, is the way to go every single time for me. The service is always so friendly and sweet here. My only complaint is they use Pepsi, not Coke. I'll let 'em slide on that lol. read more

Excellent service and delicious food. I had the sampler platter and it was so yummy. We will be back!

Wonderful restaurant with authentic Polish food! Visited from Texas and wanted to take some czernina back home with me. I called every known Polish restaurant and none offered it on the day I was there or they didn't make it at all! Called Polonus and was told they make it daily! Drove two hours to get some and was so pleased with the kindness of the staff! A healthy portion was given to me as a sample before purchase and I also enjoyed their stuffed cabbage and Polish hamburger. Highly recommend! read more

I like their food and all the people that work there! They are hard working! However, the older lady named Wanda. You never know if she is going to be nice Wanda or talk some negative crap to you and you may not want to go back. Their food is very good and they care about putting good food out. I just hope that nice Wanda is there. read more

Amazing Authentic Polish food! Home-made and fresh, huge portions ! Service is top notch, so friendly and personable

Love love love this place. Real authentic polish food and great service. My favorite is their cucumbers & cream.

Great Polish cuisine. The only complaint I have ever had there is that periogi should be pan fried not deep fried. Otherwise, the food is great, almost as good as my Mom and Polish Aunts made. read more

This place is definitely worth a visit. It has all the best polish food and the atmosphere could not be better. Also very friendly people.

The service is outstanding but the food leaves a lot to be desired. Did enjoy the Dill Pickle soup but the Potato Pancakes, not so much.
