| - This place will forever hold a special place in my heart for this is where I met the sweetest Clevelanders to date. It's cafeteria style Polish cuisine and a Cleveland establishment. This was featured on Food Network. Memorabilia from sports stars to rock stars, including autographed photos and mementos from famous diners, cover the walls. When you first walk in, you pick up a tray, silverware, napkins and go through the line picking what you want. Dessert comes first, then drinks, then you can pick between a combination of foods depending on the meal you pick. I had a main dish with two sides. I was a little iffy on the proper way to do it, so I asked a woman in line next to me. Before I knew it I was sitting at their table, singing happy birthday to her mom and learning all about Cleveland!
I haven't had a lot of polish food and because of the many who immigrated here years ago, Polish food is a tradition in Cleveland. Named one of Cleveland's best restaurants by Gourmet magazine, it has been featured on several network food spots. I had pierogis (SO good), Chicken Paprikash (very delicious) and stuffed cabbage. The meal also comes with a salad bar. Oh, and live music! If a gentlemen asks to carry your tray to your table, let him. There were a few guys standing near the cashier waiting to do just that. I had a great visit to the University Inn! Great memories!
