Christina's has some of the best Polish food I've ever had so I always look forward to my Greenpoint business trips because I know where I'm having lunch. The restaurant has a family run feel and the staff is very welcoming. Great menu full of traditional Polish food , all of it great so I recommend trying several dishes. This is why you need to bring friends who like to share. Delicious pierogi, red borscht with homemade dumplings, and veal chop dishes. I also love the white borscht (Traditional Polish Soup made with Soured Flour, Bacon and Kielbasa) - phenomenal! read more

Having been to a few Polish bar and diners in the area, expectations were high. Pick one of their platters if you're not sure what to get. The kielbasa was excellent, probably one of the best I've had. Cabbage was a bit bland. The fried pierogis were delicious. Love the bar set up as well. Overall, Christina's is definitely a decent and solid pick for a hearty meal! read more

Ordered online and they never hit send. However, we only waited an extra 10 minutes for food. The staff were quite nice and got our order sorted quickly. The restaurant had a cozy and warm vibe. Food was great, I ordered the polish platter had everything I wanted to try. The potato and cheese pierogies were phenomenal. The cabbage roll was flavorful and the pickled cabbage was addictive. I'd definitely come back and dine in! read more

Christina's - Polish Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I have been there more than a few times. The last time I was there,will probably be the last time! I am Polish and I understand good Polish food. I wish my mom was still alive. The waiters act like they're always having a bad day! I usually order the polish platter, and there is always something that needs to be reheated when they serve it. The Bigos is usually very sour. Sometimes the pierogies are reheated before they are served. Sometimes the stuffed cabbage has absolutely no taste WTF. Home-cooked Polish food, not by a mile!! read more

Great news! Christina's Currently under new Polish ownership and food upgraded and menu expanded. No raise in prices! Bonus: Christina's now takes credit cards! Best cheap eats and comfort food in Greenpoint Physical renovation coming soon read more

Christina's - The salad that came with my order. Ridiculous - Polish Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I stopped by the neighborhood and wanted to take advantage of the outdoor dining area on a nice day. The fried pierogies were amazing, absolutely perfect with the sauteed onions and sour cream. I loved the lazanki pasta, it was the perfect texture and the mushrooms complemented the dish so well. And the service was polite and attentive. read more

We ordered to go. White borscht was fantastic to me (I'm Russian/Ukrainian). I also ordered bigos, which was waaaay too sour, but okay. My wife ordered a cup of red borscht and a sampler. She loved the kielbasa, which is nice and smoky and liked the stuffed cabbage. Her borscht, however, was just beet water. Literally nothing else in it and it wasn't even made with stock. WTF. read more

How can I put this...it's simply not restaurant quality. You can very likely make yourself better food at home. It is cheap, the coffee is fine, but not worth going here. read more

A wonderful place with European food, I recommend trying their special dishes of the day. service and atmosphere are super. I recommend read more

First Polish restaurant we've been to and it was awesome - cheerful, quick service, beautiful brick walls and nice bar. We started with potato pancakes - they were crispy on the outside, creamy on the inside - with applesauce and sour cream, My schnitzel was classic, the egg on top perfectly poached, and fresh thin fries. Cucumber salad was refreshing and dressed with cream, salt, herbs, and a little sugar. My husband had the stuffed cabbage which he raved about. It's served in a tomato sauce, and the filling was savory and delicious. The check was reasonable - this was a great stop for a Sunday lunch! read more

Good home style food and great service. We felt welcomed and left filled with joy! Even took food home to go! read more

Every dish was delicious. I really liked its ambience which shows restaurant's history. The lady who was serving was also very kind...we really enjoyed dining here. read more

Nice mix of Polish and American options and the portions are generous. Would recommend.

The food and service is great! The ambiance is very comfortable. I would highly recommend it to anyone, but especially friends and family.

Just ordered delivery from Christina's for the first time. The meat pork pierogi were excellent and the side salad was fresh and tasty! I will definitely be ordering from them again! read more

The best Polish food aside from my Mother in Laws Polish cooking. Very friendly and you get alot of food for your money. Love the service too. Highly recommend. read more

The four of us made it to Christina's after a speed workout at the McCarren Park Track. We ordered one platter and three entrees (Beef steak, veal cutlet, and meatballs with mushroom sauce), which was perfect portion (especially since we were very hungry). Of all entrees, my favorite was veal cutlet, to my surprise. I liked that entrees come with two sides each. Veggies are mostly cabbage and they go great with meaty dishes. Side of beets was seasoned to perfection as well. I'm taking off a star for the forced 20% gratuity - server told us it's 10% tip when she handed us the check, though. Strange. Each dish costs around $11-14 with generous amount. Thanks to our Polish friend who recommended Christina's! read more

Food is delicious we ordered Boiled cabbage and mushroom Pierogies , with a cup or of Borscht! My date ordered Hungarian pancakes with beef goulash! Large portions of food Thank you! read more

Best Polish restaurant in all of New York. When I visit from New Jersey, I eat here every time. The blueberry pierogi and vegetarian mushroom stuffed cabbage are to die for! Owners are also super friendly. Love this restaurant! Also, absolutely nothing wrong with this establishment being cash only. Good for them sticking to what works for them. Credit card companies are complete scams anyways! read more

I ordered chicken soup, to go for my lunch. First, they served it without spoon. But most scary when I found extra protein in my soup - a fly. Poor thing passed away and found its rest between carrots and chicken. Stay away from dirty kitchen. read more

95 degrees outside and 77 degrees inside. Interior is old school from the 80s. I ordered the pig hock which was cold and old in my opinion. I sent it back and they reheated it which was ok. Blue berry Piegogi were really good. Home made for sure. read more

Christina's - Slightly out dated. - Polish Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

My first time eating Polish food so I don't have any experience on how to gauge this... Other than I know what good food taste like. I I like the food here. Good service good people working here. The comfort level is so homey!!! I love the soups so comforting. I will definitely hit it up again and some other places in this awesome Polish neighborhood will come back. Thanks Lauren from Brooklyn who I met on the plane ride here great suggestion and beautiful neighborhood. Oh "cash" only people. Hehehe there's a CVS next door. read more

I love polish food so much and this place makes me smile. Everything was excellent and affordable - including beer and wine. They also have a beautiful outdoor setup if you wanna do that. Definitely stop by and give this place a try as it is well worth your time and money! read more

most amazing little polish restaurant in greenpoint - best pierogis i've ever had!! you can tell it's got a long history too

First thing's first: it's CASH ONLY. The closest ATM is in the CVS next door, next to the registers. Came here on Saturday afternoon and the space was somewhat empty. There aren't a ton of tables here so even just a few in the space would probably fill it up. My friend and I split a place of potato and cheese pierogis (boiled) and I ordered the omelette. Service took absolutely forever, and we had to ask multiple times before getting anything. In spite of asking a few times, my friend's coffee arrived as we were almost done with our meal, which was frustrating. Food took more than 20 minutes to arrive which didn't particularly bother us since we had no where to be, but if you're in a hurry it's something to consider. My omelette was ok, but again, I had to ask multiple times for the toast that came with it. It's no fun to get your toast (spread with what might have been margarine?) at the end of your meal. The pierogis, their house specialty were just ok too. I don't get the opportunity to eat them often so they were a treat. I think they come with applesauce and you have to ask if you want sour cream (an extra charge). read more

Stopped in today for a quick bite to eat . I ordered the fried meat pierogi's and grilled kielbasa with sauerkraut. I enjoyed everything ! I am not the subject matter expert on polish food but I will definitely go back. One thing to note it is cash only. read more

Inedible potato pancakes (gummy and flavorless) with no applesauce. It's Saturday night and the kitchen is out of basic ingredients and the good items on the menu. I'm still waiting on a glass of water. Don't waste your time or money. Complete disappointment. Still hungry afterwards, I went to McDonald's down the street with fast, friendly, positive service and better food. read more

I love this place. Great home cooked meals. It was simple yet the portions were large. Definitely try this place if you're in the neighborhood. Service was slow and the waitress didn't speak English that well. This place only accepts cash. read more

There aren't a lot of diners in Greenpoint. There's this one and here's the Triple Decker a few blocks a way. At Christina's you can get basic diner staples like eggs, burgers, basic sandwiches but also Polish food. A huge platter of Polish food will run you like eleven bucks. If you're in Greenpoint and want a fast and cheap meal this is a fine place to chomp. The decor is dark and there's a waterfall. You want a BLT and coffee in a restaurant that has a pay phone in it's entrance way? Of course, that's the most you can ask of life. You can have all that here, at Christina's. read more

Christina's - Polish Pierogi Platter - Polish Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

First time I came here I experienced my first & best stuffed cabbage meal. I usually avoid cabbage, it force releases a lot of odd bodily sounds and poofs. I willingly accept and will sacrifice my name for a good meat filled green goodness. This place is better if enjoyed with friends. They have a variety of dishes for a savory or sweet friend. Just stay clear of my back way and air some time to be friends. No seriously - best read more

Was in the area last night so popped in here for dinner. The Polish Platter (stuffed cabbage, bigos, kielbasa and pierogis) was on point. As was the mushroom barley soup. All quite tasty and filling. They lose a star as the waitress seemed a bit distant and cold. Slow to bring out the menus (the place was NOT busy), not filling the water glasses to the top, no offer of bread with the soup...... read more

We ate lunch there yesterday and the service was much worse than during our previous visits, therefore I'm downgrading my rating from five to four stars. We arrived at 1:15 p.m. and only about 3/4 of the tables were occupied - and besides which, the restaurant wasn't short-staffed. We finally had to waylay one of the servers in order to place our order and then it took eons to get our food. No one ever checked back with us during our meal, plus we had to finally ask for the check. Unlike our previous experiences, there was no warmth whatsoever from the servers (all of whom we recognized, meaning they *are* capable of being friendly). The food was still really good, so we'll undoubtedly return. read more

Delicious! Tastes just like my grandmothers recipe! I've been coming here since a child. 17 years later and it's just as good! The fried meat pierogis are amazing with apple sauce and sour cream in the side. First time trying their grilled kielbasa with French friend and definitely coming back for more! read more

Literally stumbled upon this place last weekend and had a hearty meal with a good friend. It was a chilly evening and we both warmed up with this delicious Polish fare. He had the borscht to start and an entree of goulash with potato dumplings and a side of red cabbage. I had the Hungarian pancake with a side of cucumber salad. (A large crispy potato pancake folded and filled with chicken goulash) WOW! Service is attentive but not overwhelming. The atmosphere is relaxed, like a cross between a home-style pub and a diner. And the prices are inexpensive. All of the above plus a beer and a soda totaled $35. I'll be back to try more of the specialties. read more

The food was excellent. The salmon was cooked just right loved it, it was served with vegetables and mushrooms. The Tiramisu was very well done too. Very cozy and beautiful restaurant to eat with the family or friends. Customer service was excellent. I didn't have a waiter on top of my table handing me the bill as in other places that have a rush to serve and hand the bill. I had enough time to eat and relax while chatting with my family. Very laid back, relax atmosphere. The beets were really good also. The Salmon sandwich was very tasty as well. read more
