| - SPECIAL NOTE: DO NOT EAT DINNER, BREAKFAST OR ANY OTHER MEAL BEFORE ENTERING THIS FOOD ESTABLISHMENT. ALSO- DO NOT BOTHER TO BUY FOOD FOR ANY MEAL AFTERWARDS (for atleast a few days).
You will never, in your ENTIRE LIFE, feel as full as when you leave this cafe style Inn. You will feel stomach in places that you didn't even know STOMACH exsited. But its not a bad feeling. Its the feeling of home and GOOD REAL cooking. They don't cut back on anything.
My boss took me here my first week of work to welcome me to a new city and a new job. He is 100% polish and so are all of the family workers that have ever worked here. They have run it for GENERATIONS and use the exact same recipes that the polacks used when they first came to america. They have a good reader on their website about the history/food:

The best food in the world, but only when you have the capasity to hold it. mashed potatoes, perogies, fried fish, stuffed cabbage, and more. All the exact, traditional food of Poland. Its amazing. I lived in pittsburgh, near polish hill, and they have some amzing perogies here in cleveland, and THIS is the PLACE to get them. And the gravy. AMAZING. AMAZING. the fish- AMAZING. there is NO bad choice.
The only downside: they are only open for lunch on weekdays (no dinners), Only open for dinner on friday and saturday. So either go for lunch (early) or take a date. Just plan ahead because MOST of cleveland knows its here and its busy by 12 noon (LONG WAIT). So go early. I mean that.
More Upside: The environment of the rest. is amazing. lots of old photos, the LARGEST BOBBLE HEAD collection i have EVER seen, and so much to look at. And they have a live piano player there all the time.
THIS PLACE IS AN INDULGENCE ALL in itself. Its one of my absolute favorites here in cleveland.
