| - I came upon this place in an unusual way, as well - I was taking a Diversity in America class a couple of years ago and in addition to visiting Cleveland's Ukrainian Museum and heading to lovely Little Italy, we came as a class to Sokowlowski's University Inn in Tremont.
The cafeteria-style buffet line is a happy trap, because you see everything and want to eat pretty much everything. From the pierogis, stuffed cabbage, kielbasa & brats to the lengthy lineup of delicious desserts (I had a piece of creamy cheesecake, YUM), the selection is overwhelming, and the mouthwatering smells mingling in the air are enough to inflate even the tiniest appetite. The seating setup is fun, with some smaller tables and some large multi-seaters. There are photos all around the room of famous people who have come to dine on their famous Polish cuisine, and rightfully so - they do a great job here of providing an incredible dining experience. I mean, I was technically in class, but it didn't feel like it at all - who cares about an upcoming final when you're stuffing stuffed cabbage in your mouth? Delish.
As a side note, Sokolowski's was recently featured on the Travel Channel's No Reservations with Anthony Bourdain; though I feel Bourdain could have chosen some better Cleveland companions than Skyline Chili (WTF?) Sokolowski's definitely deserved their moment in the sun.
