We were hangry so had to stop somewhere. I saw the Google reviews on this place and gave it a go. Glad we did. It was real good. We went from hangry to overstuffed.

Lura was amazing and ran the whole establishment on the Tuesday afternoon that we stopped in. We had a delicious lunch of Polish food and perch! We’re saving this location for the next time we drive up north!

This is our weekly after the work week treat for my wife and I. We visit 1 to 2 times per week. They have a great wait staff, especially Dustin. He goes out of his way to create a relaxed atmosphere even when things are hectic in the restaurant. Your Polish menu is outstanding, and after growing up in a Polish neighborhood your food is just as good as it gets. We will continue to visit every week.

Food was delicious. We ordered the polish platter to try more dishes. Everything was good! Kielbasa and sauerkraut were great. Golumpki was nice and tender, as were the pierogies. We wanted to go back to try more dishes but had to head home.

We have been here numerous times over the past two years as it is very convenient if you are hiking around the Jordan River Valley (e.g. Deadman’s Hill loop, etc.). Formerly the famed Elmira Inn, home of the potato burger, this place has been offering delicious food for years!

It’s great to have Polish classics in a restaurant! We visit this spot every time we are in Michigan. My favorites are the Polish plate and the onion rings. My family loves the burgers.

I had one of the specials and was not impressed (chicken parm sandwich). However, I was with a large group, and everyone else was happy with the food. The pizza looked great and I will go back and try this. Service for such a large crowd was pretty good.
