Delicious, authentic, Polish food in a family-friendly restaurant. The bread pudding was especially good.

Hands-down the best meal I've eaten in years. Everything was delicious, from the variety of fresh-baked breads to the soup and salad to the entrees. I had the pretzel chicken with mashed potatoes and gravy with green beans, and every bite was better than the last. Everything is made fresh, from scratch. And the waitresses are so very friendly and obviously proud to work there. I'd drive there again from the Chicago suburbs in a heartbeat. YUM! read more

First visit since the move to Franklin St. Started with the beet salad. Very, very good. Not drowning in dressing just right. The mushroom soup was very good and the bread basket is excellent. Main course was the the Taste of Poland. It came with sausage, stuffed cabbage, breaded pork cutlet, 2 perogis (potato was my choice) served w mashed potatoes, saur kraut, & green beans. A really great entree! This is is a great choice if you're not sure what to order. Highly recommend Kolasa's Polish Peasant for great food and EXCELLENT SERVICE. read more

We had the most amazing experience trying Polish good for the first time here, and my family could not have been more pleased. The restaurant is a charming little hole-in-the-wall, so it was on the small side therefore we had to wait maybe 20 minutes before being seated but it wasn't worth it. Each dish we tried was a 10/10, and my whole family quickly fell in love. The prices were surprisingly reasonable for such good food, making it even more appealing. Our server was not only efficient and attentive but also incredibly friendly, adding to the welcoming atmosphere of the place. I would totally recommend this hidden gem to anyone! read more

We looked for a place close to the motel we are staying at that is local place. We were not disappointed! We had to wait for a table, but some regulars told us what to get. My husband got the sampler and I got the beef kopytka, along with pierogis to start. Food was plentiful and tasty. Your meal comes with homemade bread and I got the mushroom soup, he got a salad. The staff was attentive and stayed busy. They didn't rush you, but still managed to turn tables over quickly. We are adding this to our yearly trip. read more

The best meal I have ever eaten!!! my son and I ordered the taste of Poland and it was 100% as describe! The flavor is amazing. I was so cool.

Came here with friends while in the New Buffalo area. One of my friends has been frequenting this restaurant quite often in the last few weeks and had a few recommendations. I decided to go with the rosemary chicken and salad with a dill dressing. The meal is filling and tasty being served over dumplings so had plenty for lunch the next day. Two of my friends enjoyed the pork cutlets as well. read more

Not at all what we expected! Small , relaxed atmosphere but rather refined decor. We sat at the bar facing the street because it was very busy and we did not make a reservation( which we will do next time) and loved watching to foot and auto traffic. Husband ordered the Taste of Poland and I ordered the 4 pierogi meal. Husbands favorite was sausage/sauerkraut, cabbage soup, mashed potatoes and pierogis. The pork cutlet and cabbage roll were also tasty although he prefers sauerkraut with his cabbage roll. I loved the pierogies with the potato and mushroom ones being favorites. We did not have a disappointing bite! We will definitely be back and the husband made plans with friends to come before we left the premises. He also got kolotchkes to take home to his mom. read more

Fantastic food! Went there as a group of 8 people and each person raved about the taste of the food and the quantity. Everything was spot on! Make sure you try this place. Service was excellent, also. read more

OMG. It's the best! Sadly I only make it here once a year because I live out-of-state but it never disappoints. Pierogis, pork cutlets and golumpki are to die for. Be sure to ask about the soup of the day. Always delish! read more

My Polish mom would always make everything herself. This food tasted as if she was the cook. The three of us ordered the TASTE OF POLAND which included a variety of polish dishes. Also the bread that was brought to our table was fresh and still warm! Will be coming back to try other dishes. read more

If you like home made food made and served with love then this the place for you. The food is made from scratch including mashed potatoes. Expect large portions and all very reasonably priced. The room is extremely clean and lightly decorated . read more

This place was great! We came in with a large group and the team was very hospitable and welcoming. Server was friendly and attentive. Lots of food for the price, which was terrific. Soup was a great start, and I really enjoyed my "Taste of Poland" dish. Everyone seemed to enjoy the entrees we received. The have a couple of Polish beers (Tyskie, Zywiec) on the menu as well. Desserts were bread pudding and kolaczki cookies, both of which were sizeable (cookies came three to an order). Great experience overall - they've done a nice job with the old Station 801 space. read more

The Polish Peasant is a must to eat at in Michigan City, Indiana. This gem of a restaurant is only about 1.5 hours from Chicago, and well worth the drive! It is located in a cozy like house in an unassuming corner. You are welcomed immediately into a cozy dining space where you get some great Polish food. Recommend getting the Taste of Poland platter and the potato pancakes which feeds two people well! You'll love the friendly waitstaff and wish you saved room for dessert! read more

Amanda is the amazing owner of this fantastic establishment! I came in and was warmly greeted, seated at a much bigger table than I needed and was served with kindness and hospitality. I got the stuffed cabbage and as a gluten-free human they ever took extra care in making sure cross contamination was as minimal as possible. I was very grateful. It was so good I ate probably double what I needed to. The dill salad dressing was plate-licking good as well as the red potatoes cooked and salted to perfection! The price was incredibly reasonable! I will definitely be back! read more

Not a large restaurant so let them know in advance if you have a group over 4. We were 7 people and had a nice round table that accommodated us perfectly. Loved all of our pierogi flavors, and you can get them as a shareable appetizer of 6 or a meal that is served with sauerkraut and sausage. Note on their sausage; it is not smoked and so mild we found it flavorless. I had stuffed cabbage which had great seasoning, and so did the meatballs. The pretzel chicken is served pounded flat and lightly breaded. Nice sauce! read more

I loved this little gem in Michigan City, Indiana. Who knew this little town would have an authentic little Polish eatery? The seating is cozy and limited, so get in early here. Fortunately, we found space immediately. I got a beer, and my friend got a house Cabernet. We were handed some freshly baked bread with fresh butter and plum butter. They were divine! For main course, my friend got the Bigos platter, which came with soup. I got a plate of 6 pierogies, 3 with meat, and 3 with potato cheese. The food blew our minds! The Bigos stew was wonderfully cooked with pork, sausage, sauerkraut and cabbage. The pork was tender, and flavorful. The pierogies, with sour cream, was delicious too. I preferred the meat one, over the potato and cheese option. The prices are extremely reasonable. And the portions of entrees are huge. Absolutely recommend this! read more

I certainly see why The Polish Peasant got 5 * from everyone! Don't miss a delightful evening of delicious food here! Great service! Food: superior quality and so tasty. We had pierogis, mushroom toast(yum), deviled eggs, and potato pancakes. Each one was super! I forgot, our meal started it's a homemade bread basket with butter and plum butter. Also a favorite for our table. We shared their pretzel chicken and pork medallions. Each meal was accompanied by perfect mashed potatoes and green beans. Everything was so good we couldn't stop there, we had bread pudding and apple crisp. Couldn't be better. There is a limited wine and beer available. You will not be sorry if you stop at this neat and tidy small restaurant. A perfect ending to our day! Thank you Polish Peasant! read more

This restaurant is a hidden gem. Food is outstanding. All homemade with "heritage dishes" as well as other categories. Soups, unique homemade appetizers, baked dinner bread and butter, classics like pierogies (so good) and mushroom toast. Entrees are delish. My husband loves the white fish and says it is the best he has ever had. Mashed potatoes are as good as they can get! We had our 5th visit tonight for my birthday w a party of 7 and the service was outstanding including several visits from the owner to ask about some dietary restrictions we had. I had brown butter potato dumplings with vegetables. Always have the very best experience here. Warm welcoming atmosphere. read more

Perfect comfort food for a cold day after getting off the train! We stopped in for a late lunch on an afternoon. I grew up eating polish food, so I was super excited to try this place! We started with an order of pierogis, and my favorite were the potato and cheese. The mushroom soup with potato and barley was amazing. We tried the kopytka z bigos and whitefish. Both were great portions and very tasty, but the kopytka z bigos was my favorite. It's a hearty, meaty stew with delicious potato dumplings in it. We were too full to try dessert, so we will have to come back! read more

Annie and Amanda were so sweet and helpful. Loved them. The food was so good as well !!!

The food was aaamazing, warm, and hearty! Server knows exactly what you've order and tells you when to expect the food. The place is small but cozy, would love to come back. The portion was big and we have tons of left overs! Their apple crisp was delicious too!! It was warm, not too sweet, but perfect to finish the meal! It's a good idea to reserve a table become coming. We had a table of five adults and two kids, but ended up sitting separately because their only large table was reserved. read more

If it is your first visit, you should order the pierogi starter and pretzel chicken entree. Every member of our family gets this order or (no matter how good their food is) winds up jealous! New building is lovely. Still a great meal at a fair price. read more
