I had the Slavic Platter and my husband had the hot turkey sandwich. So much food! We each took 1/2 of our plates home. Cabbage rolls and Kielbasa were excellent. I saved the pierogi and city chicken to take home. We were welcomed when we came in and had a really good server, who took good care of us. This little home style diner was a good choice. We like to support local businesses on our adventures.
Food was great! Unexpected find to celebrate besties birthday for liver and onions! We would definitely visit again.
They are no longer cash only! They accept cards for payment now too. Chicken paprikash is only available on Wednesdays and comes with a side of applesauce, salad, roll or a couple other choices. Very reasonable prices here. Veggies added on the side for about $3. Nice and warm hole in the wall spot. The food was plentiful for the price and came with two rolls as well as the salad I chose for my side. The chicken was 3 thighs which were juicy although the sauce wasn't particularly flavorful. There were plenty of spaetzle as well. A great affordable decently healthy meal overall.
Came here every day for a week while visiting my boyfriend in North Ridgeville, and it's probably the best place to go to for breakfast in the whole city. The staff is incredibly welcoming, the service is fast, and the food/drinks are amazing, especially for their price. Coffee with Texas Toast and extra crispy bacon is probably my favorite. 10/10
Best customer service, portion size and food taste. We just left and I realized I should review this gem. I've been coming here on and off for over 30 years. The waitresses are a real joy. Their service and their warm attitudes are 5 star. I also love the new menus. I can't praise this restaurant enough.
