polka lunch buffet!
a big fat polish goodness
-cafeteria.
If you only want to eat one meal a day, this is the place. I think it is the ideal big lunch. Nobody leaves hungry, but the portions are not sooo huge that you get gardening tools to eat with instead of silverware like you do at a big box steakhouse. The menu is a combination of old school American standards such as Salisbury steak, pork chops, and mashed potatoes/gravy and eastern european heart stoppers such as kielbasi, perogies swimming in butter, cabbage and noodles, and kraut. Don't miss the soup if it is a cold wintry day. A pretty cool old gypsy pianist plays during the lunch hour. He reminds me of someone who specialized in "collection of donations" from an old mob flick, but his light touch on the piano add yet another blast from the (way far) past feel to the place. The crowd runs the gamut from blue hair to factory worker to exec to hipster. If you are entertaining someone from the west coast (coast, not side) they will think they walked onto a movie set. The line moves fast, so don't worry if a bus just let out.
Definitive Cleveland experience.
The Sokolowski family rocks it.
Carry on.
