  • SREDNIA!! Ok, before you dig out your English-Polish dictionary, I'll help you out with the translation here - - "AVERAGE" ABSTRACT: From the decor to the flavor, this place gets a solid C in my book. COME HERE FOR: pierogis, chicken noodle soup, kolachky DON'T COME HERE FOR: ambiance, efficient service, stuffed cabbage A resident of Independence, I waited with great anticipation for the opening of Babushka's after our hometown family restaurant closed up shop some 16 months prior. We waited and waited, and figured something glorious MUST be transforming behind those papered up windows. Not so much. Babushka's is a counter-style ordering restaurant with wait staff to bring your food. Protocol is as follows: Stand in line, choose dinner from overhead sign, order, pay, get your plastic glass, shuffle to pop machine, choose a wooden bench or chair, be seated, prop your number on the plastic doily table cloth and wait for your food. The elderly wait staff will bring (hopefully) your order some 20-25 minutes later, roughly at the same time that the Frank Yankovic Jr. Greatest Hits polka CD starts over on the boombox propped in the corner. Not kidding. When our food was finally delivered it was: a) cold b) not what we ordered c) bland d) nearly spilled on us e) all of the above. Yep - you guessed it! So, not a great place for sights or service, but what about the food?? Chicken noodle soup - the crown jewel of my meal. Plump chunks of chicken and plenty of perfectly cooked noodles and veggies. The noodles may have lost their excitement earlier in the day, but I'll bet a fresh batch would be YUMMO Stuffed cabbage - Huge but bland. The meat and sauce did not pack enough Polish flavor. Disappointing but tastier the following day with some crushed black and red pepper added. Pierogis - I had the potato and cheese. HUGE and rather tasty! I definitely recommend them. They would probably be delicious hot. Kolachky - AMAZING!! Probably the best I've had in the area. Buttery and flaky apricot goodness that melts in your mouth!! Sooooooooo... The food was actually 3 stars overall, but the setting and the staff kick it down to a solid 2. Maybe I'm being too hard on a "mom and pop shop" selling "comfort food" but 16 months is a long time to wait for srednia!!
