| - When I think about this establishment, "Cleveland Rocks!" is playing in my head. I guess this place makes me think of somewhere Drew Carey would have gone in the Drew Carey show. Or maybe he has been to Sokolowski. Pretty sure he has. I hope he has.
So this place just feels like home-like Cleveland. The Cleveland I think of when I think of my hometown. Nothing fancy. Comfort food and nice friendly people.
My boyfriend and I were visiting the area and I wanted to take him somewhere that had food of the area. To me, polish food and perogies makes me think of the area. Too bad Parma perogies doesn't exist anymore. When I yelped Polish food, this is one of the recommendations that came up.
We came mid day and there were a lot of older people eating. Cleveland sports paraphernalia was everywhere. Go tribe and dawg pound. Yep, that's Cleveland. The loyal sports fans.
It was very chilly that day so the warm inside of that restaurant combined with the comfort food was perfect. While waiting in line, there was a couple behind us- Cleveland locals who were giving us recommendations of what to order. They also pointed out buildings as we looked out the window. Their friendliest just added to the great experience.
The paper menu didn't list everything that was actually in the cafeteria style line, so it was alittle confusing going up to order but the lady serving us was nice. We ordered chicken Paprikash and Stuffed Cabbage. For sides we got macaroni and cheese, green beans, perogies and mashed potatoes. The food was really good. Not overly salty or overcooked. Sitting in hotel pans, I thought it could get overcooked, but it seems like the food goes fast.
One of the employees saw us taking pictures of the food. Think we stood out as yelpers? He was very sweet and took our picture. We were so stuffed at the end of the meal. So don't expect this to be a light fare.
A great meal. If you are looking for Polish food and an authentic Cleveland experience, come here!
