We arrived around 8pm on a Thursday. We were greeted by the bartender, who ended up being our…read morewaiter. He was friendly and did a splendid job checking in and making sure all was good. The atmosphere is pleasant, with background music. The building has old charm, but at the same time seemed new and fresh. We started with fried calamari, which V said was the best he had in a while. I suspect it should have been taken out of the fryer a few seconds sooner, as I detected a hint that the breading was slightly burnt. I ordered a chopped salad with grilled chicken. It was quite tasty and had generous portions of blue cheese and bacon, yummy. V had a Lamb Chop which came with mashed potatoes. He enjoyed his meal, it the lamb was cooked well done, just like he ordered. We shared a slice of Blueberry Cheesecake, and it was the perfect finish to the meal. We would definitely come back again, from hospitality, to atmospher and food, it's a very good experience.

To all my foodie friends, I officially have a NEW #1 STEAK SANDWICH!…read more Their legendary Poorboy--steak, melted cheese, grilled onions and hot garlic butter--was phenomenal. Simple, old-school and absolutely delicious. I've eaten my share of steak sandwiches over the years, but Merichka's now sits at the TOP OF MY LIST!

Which i got the steamed veggies( cauliflower broccoli carrots ) and a side salad with creamy Italian dressing. Everything was really good and i was stuffed . I would definitely have the patty melt again , i think it's a third pounder. Nice size sandwich with the cheese and caramelized onions on rye bread. I hate to be negative about the poor boy so i will say if you like stuff coated in garlic butter/ margarine go for it. I found the meat by itself bland.

It's a small space and it definitely gets crowded, but that's part of the charm. You're packed in, close to the stage, and fully in it with everyone else. There is an upstairs balcony if you want a break from the floor, but most of the action is general admission and the sound down there is really solid. Loud, clear, and exactly what you want for a show like this. They sell food but I can't speak to that as I've never gotten it but it always smells good. Free parking nearby is a huge bonus and makes the whole night way easier. If you like intimate shows, sweaty crowds, and good sound, this is absolutely the spot.

Authentic Polish food and some fusion that oddly works…read more. Stuffed cabbage,, pork chops, potato pancakes and the Polish pizza bread stood out. And then, there's Paczki (Polish donuts) mmmm! The food is made to order and can take up to 25 minutes but we got our order in less time than that. The place is cozy and kept clean and the service was fantastic. Highly recommend if you are looking for something that is just like mom ( or grandma ) used to make or just looking for some comfort food prepared with love and care. Reminds me of my childhood growing up in Poland.

Ordered Black Sheep Polish Sampler platter, Polish gyro sandwich, 2 ham & barley soup bowls, zapiekanka (Polish pizza bread), potato and cheese pierogies, one order of fries, two orders potato pancakes. What a spread. Potato pancakes were exceptional. Fried to perfection served with applesauce and sour cream. The cabbage soup was very tasty: chunks of Polish sausage, cabbage, barley, minced vegetables. Delicious. Polish euro sandwich was interesting. Tasty combination of Polish sausage cheese inside a (homemade ?) Bun. Pierogies were fantastic; each one serve served with a bit of grilled onions. Pizza bread was a bit steep, as well as the soup at $8.99/bowl. With prices going up, can't blame them. Overall good food. Nice touches with the interior design. We look forward to returning. Also, Missy is the best! Come check out this spot.

The beef was tender, well seasoned, and sliced paper thin, complemented perfectly with mild giardineira and beefy au jus.I'd never hesitate to order one again. The service was superlative, and the ambiance warm and friendly.

The restroom didn't have any toilet paper and could have been cleaned. They also automatically add tip even if you are just 1 person. I personally didn't like that but my waitress was amazing. The leche de Tigre was amazing! By far one of my favorites I have had. The Maracuyá drink was also very tasty and the fried plantains didn't need anything else they had such a great texture and taste. The mussels were ok but still full of flavor. Will definitely be back and try some of there other items.
