| - Very comfy dive-y kind of bar, tucked in by the bridge (as advertised). The owner claimed that his food "is the second-best Polish food you'll ever eat." Of course, the best Polish is what your mom, aunt or grandmother makes! (What a charmer.)
We popped in for dinner early, and got a good look at the menu. All the Polish food! We ordered potato pancakes (which were more like actual pancakes, very dense), the duck soup, and the red platter.
The duck soup. Our server did pause, and said, "You want me to tell you what is in the soup before you order it, or else you'll hate me." Well, there is sauerkraut, duck, duck blood, and noodles. Very deep, sour flavor - absolutely something we'd eat, but we were glad for the heads-up that this was not a mild-tasting soup.
The red platter had kielbasa (nice snap and spice), golabki (decent), pierogi, haluski and kluski. We ordered this one to split and were glad - so much food!
We felt very welcome, and we'll get back here when we're in the Burgh next.
