The Best Polish in Detroit

Polish Village Cafe

★★★★☆ 4.2 (709) • $$

"With Polonia next door it's the battle of the pierogies! While Anthony Bourdain did indeed go to Polonia and sang its praises legend has it Polish Village Café was tapped first but with the narrow stairs leading to the cellar/basement level they were not able to get their filming equipment down there. To summarize my point of the dueling pierogies story my friends is this: Don't miss out on Polish Village Café! Try both places and you will get an accurate comparison of Polish cuisine. Similar yet different. I want to say the 4 of us ladies got phenomenal service from Alexis. She made great suggestions, was prompt, and was able to make a few modifications for my pickier friends. We started with the soup. Dill pickle for my friends and beet for me. This was some of the best beet soup I've ever had. My Polish babcia would make her beet soup and thicken it with sour cream. Other than my grandma I've never had a thickened and creamy beet soup until here. Dill pickle soup was also great with a tangy but not overpowering pickle taste. Wanting to sample a variety and also wanting leftovers I went with the pick 3 meat plate (city chicken, chicken livers, and fresh Polish sausage). Wow talk about a menagerie of food. The sausage alone was enough to feed 2-3 people. They put a beer gravy over the top which is something I've never had but it works. Chicken livers were deep-fried and slightly on the salty side but dipping them in the extra beer gravy proved to be a wise choice. City chicken was just as I remembered from before. Whatever breading they use somehow manages to stay in place but you still get the tender juicy flavor from the pork and veal that shines through. All four of us had enough food left over for lunch the next day. Prices are more than reasonable for the amount and quality of food you get. I'm excited to be living in the Detroit area again and will be able to satisfy my Polish food cravings whenever the urge hits!"

"Another great meal at Thomas's. There's a reason it's always busy here, the food is consistently delicious and the service is excellent.I usually order the polish plate with city chicken, pierogi, and stuffed cabbage (comes with a soup or salad too), I ordered the Maurice salad today. It didn't disappoint- just like Hudson's but twice the size.Thank-you to our waitress, Jennifer- she navigates the requests of our aging parents with the patience of a saint.Homemade food, professional staff, and they serve beer and wine. Yes!"

Sabina's Restaurant

★★★★☆ 4.4 (207) • $$

"If you are looking for the best polish food in Michigan. Hey if you are in the area drop on in to Sabina's. Note this place is closed on Mondays. Try the all city kitchen with polish sausage it quit good. The service I like because I am always impressed how they don't write down their orders. This place is very family oriented so bring the kids. Just down good time eating here. That is all. Chief Look at the past for learning but don't look for the future. Just let it come to you."

Three Brothers Restaurant

"I wanted something different, so I tried the combo that included pierogis, kielbasa, and city chicken. The soup here is a bargain, costing just $.99 a cup when ordered with a meal. I got a cup of the dill pickle soup, having never tried this traditional Polish soup. The dill pickle soup was a pleasant surprise. The sour bite associated with dill pickles was tempered by the creaminess of the soup. The taste of dill wasn't overpowering, and the soup was warm, hearty, and comforting. I would order this again. I was less satisfied by the combo meal. The kielbasa was exceptional. I had ordered the smoked version grilled. The smoky flavor complemented the flavor of the sausage nicely. The potato pierogis were just ok. I had ordered them pan fried, but they tasted as if the frying hadn't happened recently and they were reheated via a microwave. I really didn't like the city chicken. The breading was gummy, and the meat had the taste and texture of a mystery. I would not order this again."

Marcus Grill

★★★★☆ 3.7 (154) • $$

"Food very good. Hot, large portions, and very flavorful. Large menu with many Polish choices. Peirgos ranked as one of the best I have enjoyed. (You can also purchase them by the dozen to go!) Overflowing with cheese. Amy, our server, was very helpful, attentive, and invested in the business. Decor dated. A bit noisey."

Steve's Family Dining

"They Serve traditional Polish cuisine and other foods. I ordered the combo, 3 perogies, kielbasa with sauerkraut and stuffed cabbage. They even served Polish beer. Excellent! I will be back for sure..."

Lukich Family Restaurant

★★★★☆ 4.1 (96) • $$

"I was so excited to find a local Polish spot on a work trip. The vibes are very much American/Polish diner, we were the youngest ones in the room, older crowds there for lunch specials. The room is light, bright, and clean. Service was nice and consistent. The pierogis were good, I suggest the sauerkraut ones. I wish I got them boiled rather than fried. The potato pancakes were great and came with both applesauce and sour cream. The star of the show was the cabbage roll! Great flavor and texture. Cute local spot."

Polonus Restaurant

★★★★☆ 3.7 (97) • $$

"This place is authentic and delicious! They played contemporary Polish music which really set the vibe. Along with all of the Polish decor all over the place. The food was tasty, home cooking. Lots of choices and large portions for the price. Only one lady working the front of house and she was busy! Impressive family style atmosphere. Looking forward to being regulars!"

Polskis Pub and Grub

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (67) • $$

"We really liked the Polish Platters. We tried all the sides: dill pickle soup, onion soup, coleslaw, and salad. I really liked the soups. The coleslaw was good and standard. The salad was ok but nothing too special and I don't think worth the price or status of being a side. The soups were just so much better and more interesting!We got pick up and it was smooth and easy. A note that there was an extra charge for doing pick up which I hadn't seen before at other restaurants. Overall great and would be happy to get the Polish Platters again sometime!"

American Polish Cultural Center

★★★★☆ 3.5 (32) • $$

"The best of the best of the best!Real, homemade Polish food (I know, first hand)... I love that it's so convenient and close. Very old world. If you speak Polish, do pipe up and greet your server in your native tongue. I simply adore this place, it brings me back, and the memories it conjures up are so very warming. This is a restaurant and banquet hall, and offers catering as well. They hold many events throughout the year. Paczki day! Get them here! Dances, festivals, events, funerals, showers, weddings. American Polish Cultural Center and Wawel Polish Restaurant is truly a place to consider for your event. The customer service cannot be matched!! Love love love this place!!"

"They have new menus but not sure if the food is any different. The menus are nice. All I know is I had the Meti-Omelette and it was the best Omelette I have had in 20 years. It was soo good. Fresh spinach and gyro meat etc. They put fresh onion in the hash-browns too upon request. Yum. I know its just bfast but it really was outstanding. Cant wait to go back."
