Read that Pierogi was a must have when in Ohio so found this little gem on Yelp. A tiny, little, family owned diner with 6 or 7 small tables and additional seating at the counter. Old but full of nostalgia. We had the potato cheddar, potato, mushroom and kraut Pierogi and potato pancakes. All delicious. Service was a little slow with only one waitress and all the tables full but she was super friendly and personable. Plenty of parking behind the building. read more

My mother was sooo happy to have some authentic food that she remembers from younger days.

Currently only take out but don't let that deter you. The food is fantastic, we had the lake Perch, pierogi, potato pancakes and cucumber salad. All excellent. But most of all, the young lady serving us was so friendly and gave us some great suggestions for other local ethnic establishments. read more

Great (very!) little place with very authentic Polish food. The menu has all the Polish favorites-- kielbasa, potato pancakes, pierogis, sauerkraut, stuffed cabbage. There are lots of lunch items and many a la carte items. There are also plenty of full dinner meals that are served all day. The menu also includes some non Polish food like grilled cheese sandwiches if someone doesn't want Polish food...but you will be missing out on some great food! I had pierogis and sauerkraut and my husband had the Tour of Poland which included kielbasa, stuffed cabbage, pierogis and sauerkraut. We both loved our meals! The waitress was very friendly but the restaurant was a little time worn. We are looking forward to our next visit! read more

Little Polish Diner - Polish Near Me - Parma, Ohio

Tour of Poland, almost exactly like we make at home.... Kielbasa and kraut, excellent, the kielbasa was even sliced in half and fried the way my dad does it. Pierogies, quite good, although I would like to have the ability to substitute the kinds of fillings I order on the Tour of Poland, potato isn't my favorite. The cabbage rolls were huge, not like the way my family does them (ours are much smaller) but very tasty indeed. Service was great, kind of made us feel like we were eating at a friend's place. Saw the chicken paprikash on the specials board, I will have to come back on a Saturday to give that a try! Not quite sure what was up with the blowfish hanging from the ceiling, but I was ok to go with it because the food was SOOOO good! read more

I came here with a friend on a snowy Saturday in February. I had the Tour of Poland combo plate that featured the most popular of Polish dishes on one plate: golabki, kielbasa (smoked) and pierogies with farmer's cheese. The dinner included a small dinner roll and a side of green beans. I wish they had fresh Polish sausage. I guess the smoked is imported from Chicago. If you want something quick with no hassle and no stupid long cafeteria line to wait in, go to The Little Polish Diner! The service was excellent and genuine. I love being around my fellow Polish people. Most of the time Polish people are cool. This time was no exception. read more

Tiny diner in Parma specializing in Polish comfort food deliciousness. The mini pierogi are wonderful, chewy dough with heavenly potato and cheese filling and buttery onions. They do have other fillings available, but potato and cheese are the only type I'll eat at this point. Why mess with success? Polish boy sandwich had nicely smoked sausage and mild kraut on a pedestrian roll. Owner has been there each visit and is personable. Simple and delicious food served by friendly folks is exactly what I want in a diner. Beware: keep your eyes open nearby on Snow Road as takeout has resulted in butter-covered, barehanded pierogi-eating drivers... Or so I'm told. read more

Since I'm Polish, I avoid Polish restaurants. Who can compete with Mom's old style cooking? Sorry, Mom. This place can. I'm really picky about my beef, can't stand fatty meats. I ordered the beef goulash because the waitress assured me it was lean. Not disappointed. The dish was brought to me and the aroma reminded me of my mom's kitchen. The meat was full flavored and the sauce was spectacular. It came with potato dumplings. Delish. Yearning for more just writing about it. Some reviews complained about the price. You can get cheaper elsewhere but it's gonna taste like prison or dog food. People gotta make a living and pay for overhead. I'm gonna have to find reasons to visit Parma more often. read more

Loved it! Had all types of pierogies, fish dinner.... Can't wait to go back and try other things on the menu!!!

Solid polska food. -dinky little location, but i kind of dig that. -i got the tour of Poland ($12?) -everything was great (cept the canned green beans) read more

The food was delicious. We had sauerkraut, kielbasa and pirogies and stuffed cabbage. All homemade and very filling. Will definitely be back when we are in the area. read more

This experience had me thinking ? Am I polak ? What defines a polak or a Polish-American ? I know the food more than the language.... Philosophical waxing out of the way for now [I'll wax on yelp later]. This place is okay if you're looking for some 'Polish' cooking. What bothered me about the menu was that it's more Americanized than I anticipated than for a Little Polish Diner (maybe that's what they name by a Little Polish ? ' Hi-ho!) The place itself is tiny, seating no more with 30 with 105.7, oldies in the background. The menu is small which I don't mind. Daily specials, Thursday was beef day, with beef stew for $9.50. Saturday is Chicken Day. I opted for a Polish Boy, for $6.50. It wasn't bad. It was kielbasa and saukerkraut (sour, salty, not the sweet kind) on a hoagie bun. I would have liked to have onions or a sauce on it, but shame on me for not asking. On the plus side, the kielbasa was not fatty and tasted authentic in that it was probably from Krakow Foods (across the street) or a butcher @ the WSM, tasted exactly the same as I've had all my life. This is niggling, but why serve French Fries with the kielbasa ?! How about dumplings ? The As a side, I also ordered a blintz for $2. Dashed with powdered sugar, filled with slightly sweet cheese, and optional canned strawberry sauce [what, no figs or prunes ?!] My dad, who I also had some of the tour of Poland which gives a good amount of the Polish highlights to sample for $10.95, enough for a full meal. The stuffed cabbage had rice in it and very little sauce. The cumcumber salad, my dad ordered it, and it was the size of a tartar sauce container from a church fish fry ! Though it's only 1.75, but how about a little more than that.. In the end, the food exactly how my mom, [2nd-gen if you care] makes polish food. Not necessarily a compliment but not snark either. Not very useful all of you, probably. I sort of felt cheated in that, I could have had it at home for cheaper. read more

Little Polish Diner = lunch at your surrogate Polish grandmother's. It's not the most gourmet food (yes-they used canned green beans and rolls from the supermarket), but that's exactly how my grandmother would have done it. The pierogies have a good flavor and are cooked in a pool of onions, butter, and oil. I'd highly recommend the potato-cheddar and sweet cheese; the plain potato variety were missing the "wow" factor. They have much more than pierogies; they have potato pancakes, blintzes, kielbasa, and stuffed cabbage as well. On Saturdays, they serve chicken paprikash, and it is a hefty portion of creamy chicken love. The place is small and homey, filled with your typical church crowd on the weekends. You won't have time to feel claustrophobic because the service is quick. If you want to know what it's like growing up Polish in Parma, go here! read more

It wasn't bad, nor was it amazing. My husband had the Tour of Poland and said my parents do a much better job (can't beat Mom and Dad). The green beans were also the canned kind, and the dinner rolls aren't "home made" either. I had the pierogi dinner with a mix of potato cheddar, sweet cheese and sauerkraut pieces. I enjoyed all three, but honestly feel that we can whip up a similar batch with frozen Mrs T's and add our own sauerkraut. We also had the potato pancakes which were good, but still average. If I needed a quick pierogi fix, and was in the area, I would come here again, but it's not really worth going out of our way. read more

Little Polish Diner - Tour of Poland on the left, pierogi dinner upper right, with 2 orders of potato pancakes. Overall, tasty, but average. - Polish Near Me - Parma, Ohio

This is the best homemade Polish food ever. Number 1 best cabbage rolls!!! Great pierogis also. Different special every day. I had Beef Stroganoff today and it was to die for. If you want really good Polish food you have to visit this place. read more

Adorable, authentic & awesome! This is a hidden treasure in Parma. Do you wish you could sit at your grandma's table and enjoy pierogi? Stop in at the Little Polish Diner and you will take a step back in time. Everything is made by hand and to order. Every dish we ordered was delicious. I'm so happy to have found this eatery. It might be tiny, but it's terrific! read more

Home style Polish food in a charmingly un-artsy setting. They serve the classics here, and the pierogi were perhaps the best I've ever had. I like the options available to the diner also; you can order the combos that they've put together on the menu or go a la carte, which is what we did. Two stuffed cabbage is too much for me, but one was perfect with my pierogi quintet and delicious cucumber salad with sour cream and dill. Sometimes I crave this comfort food, and I'll be back for more. read more

Last minute decision to stop here but have been wanting to try it! I was pretty satisfied overall. The food was tasty and service was nice and quick! I had the pork chop dinner. The pork chops tasted good but we're just a smidge on the chewy side; however, not enough to deter me from getting them again in the future. Growing up my best friend was from Poland so I had my fair share of homemade polish dishes and there has yet to be a person to top his mom's pork chops! So I have high standards for pork chops ;) the green beans and mashed potatoes were average, potatoes definitely improved when I put the gravy on them. I ordered a side of pierogies and I was very pleased. It seems they mix the potato and cheese together so you get both in every bite! I had spots to pancake which was good but I've definitely had better .. Not one for rumors but I've been told there potato pancakes are store bought. Shame shame if true! When I return I must try the cabbage rolls and another dinner, I just don't know which! If you're in the area and in the mood for polish food I would recommend! read more

Truly a hole in the wall place! It is small but a nice place for a polish meal! When I went I tried the stuff cabbage. I am picky about my stuff cabbage but really enjoyed theirs. The inside meat filling was light! It was not heavy. It was light and tender. I was very impressed. I would gladly go back. read more

I stopped in here with my fiancee as we are looking to move to the area and wanted to try out a local restaurant. There was enough parking and we parked around back and walked to the entrance in front. The restaurant itself is very small, but warm and welcoming. Our server took our drink orders right away. We discovered they ran out of meatloaf so much for trying that. Maybe next time. The cabbage rolls were good. The sausage and sauerkraut was very tasty. The pierogi was ok. We ordered a side of cabbage and noodles and it was really good. Seasoned right and I could of made a meal out of that only. We will definitely come back here when we are in the neighborhood read more

I came here for lunch with my mom after reading the menu online. I was sad when I learned that the chicken paprikash isn't served daily. Also, I was a little disappointed in how many non-Polish offerings they had. The inside is cute and very tiny! It had a nice homey feeling to it. My mom ordered the stuffed cabbage and it tasted good, but it had the texture of having been microwaved very quickly. My piergois looked sauted and delicious, but had very little flavor. I was bummed out. I'll try it again, maybe at a more traditional meal time. It wasn't bad, it was good, but not as flavorful as I was expecting. read more

This is a VERY small restaurant. Every time we have stopped in at The Little Polish Diner, there are no tables available. And we are told there is an hour wait for food, even for take out. Its very frustrating considering we are driving 30+ minutes ... just to eat here. One time they were completely out of food. The ONE time we actually got served, the food was good. But we are probably never even going to try to come again. read more

Went here because of the great reviews. Don't really know what all the fuss is about. I must admit the service was great a nice friendly waitress. I had the Tour of Poland, my wife the cabbage rolls. Both dinners were more than an adequate portion. To get to the nitty gritty the kielbasa was the worst I ever had. Hillshire Farm tasted better. The cabbage roll, although large and meaty, lacked any sort of flavor... totally bland. My wife's mash potatoes tasted like they came out of a box. Perogies...you want perogies? Go right across the street to Ridgewood Inn and order their's. Guaranteed you won't get them again at the Little Polish Diner. This is usually the kind of place right up my alley. Not this time. read more

Pierogies? Fried fish? Done and done; authentic polish food, from a down home type kitchen. Treat yourself to something worth trying!

Who doesn't like perogies?! This is the place to go for some epic polish food. The restaurant is rather tiny...they only have like 5 tables and a small bar seating. The place is literally a hole in the wall kinda place. A lot of people get pickup orders. They have daily specials listed on a board in the restaurant as long with soup and dessert of the day. The Women working was very friendly and helpful. My boyfriend ordered the taste of Europe plate. He also ordered a side of kielbasa and sauerkraut. We we're given dinner rolls to go along with the meals. I ordered the daily special chicken and paprikas. The food did not take too long to get out to us. The sauce for the chicken paprikas was more of a liquid than a thicker cream sauce, but it was good. My boyfriend decided he wanted to get a dessert Togo, he ordered the special. I don't remember the name of the dessert but it was a cream cheese pastry with strawberries. He said it was really good. We definitely will go back and try some other things they have! read more

You will NOT be disappointed. I had been in Ohio visiting my parents for a few days and wanted a local taste before getting on the plane to head back to Dallas. The food was amazing! I had the Warsaw combo. My favorite item on the Warsaw was the Hinters Stew. My mom had a pierogi plate and my dad had stuffed cabbage. My dad said it was the best stuff cabbage he had ever had. The juice of the stuffed cabbage was very flavorful. I can't wait to come back to town and eat here again! read more

This place is little. I'm glad we got here on an off time. The perogies were good and the blintz was great. It was a little stuffy and I wish they would have opened the door to get some air flow. read more

Located in Polish Village in Parma (not to be confused with Ukrainian Village a few streets over) this is a teeny tiny place with very good food. The decor is a cross between diner kitsch and crazy aunt. I was able to satisfy my stuffed cabbage craving. The pierogies are quite good as well. Canned pop kind of threw me off, but oh well. I have to agree with other reviews that pointed out that the side dish vegetables are canned. But really, if you are coming for Polish food, do you really want a common vegetable? Substitute! Will definitely be back and guessing frequently. read more

Great Food, Tour of Poland is Great You need to try it once in you life, Sara was great and the regulars like Joe tell you all about the place and the neighborhood what when where and how. Zofia was born in Poland so she brought all the recipes with her. Great place small just like the name says but worth the time. Great people great food great atmosphere what else do you need? I would give it 10stars but 5 is the max. Go have a Tour of Poland while in Cleveland Ohio!!!! read more

All the stars. Great place. Killer Polish food. Kim the server is worth the visit alone. But the food is outstanding. Pierogi are perfect. Stuffed cabbage is better. Paprikash is great. Did I mention Kim was amazing? Go there now. read more

Got there at 6:35 and was told kitchen closed at 6:30. Door says they close at 7. Didn't phase the people working that I drove 35 minutes to get a takeout order. No where does it says they kitchen closes 30 minutes earlier. They have no website. Won't even try them another time, poor customer service. read more

Little is a true description, but they're obviously busy because it was packed during lunch. Very good food! Pirogies were so yummy!!! Will definitely return for this, they had good variety and deals! Chicken paprikash was savory but a little bland. They aren't working with yelp anymore for that discount tho read more

THE BEST!!! Pirogies, cabbage rolls, chicken paprkash, cabbage and noodles, it's all phenomenal. Daily specials bring me yet I end up ordering the whole menu. Have brought many people here and it's always good. The ONLY downfall is it's literally a "little" Polish diner, with maybe 6 tables? So if you go during lunch time it's a little crammed but it's worth it! read more

Fantastic food and great waitress!! Go for great Polish food !! The sausage was tremendous!!

The best pirogies! Omg!!! Was craving some for a while but really wanted authentic tasting ones. When growing up in high school my best friend was Polish and her mother would make them and my god were they good even some stuffed with blueberries and sour cream on the side was amazing but I will say this is as close as it gets to authentic!! Small place nothing fancy but clean and friendly! I will definitely go again when I'm in the mood for pirogies. And the potato pancakes are sooo yummy. Definitely recommend it and it's right in the heart of Parma and quick service! read more

For the life of me, I do not understand the high ratings this place gets. People must be used to eating garbage. When I go out to eat I do not expect mushy, canned green beans or mashed potatoes made from a box mix. Simply horrible! read more

I took a wrong off the freeway ended up at the right place. this was worth it!very good food and I enjoyed it. My wife had the pierogies and I and a corn beef sandwich it was fantastic. read more

I love this place for authentic Polish food. It's tiny and you may have to wait for a table but it's well worth the wait. The sweet cheese pierogi take me back to my childhood. So glad our daughter is now in Parma because we can stop in when we visit. read more

If you want great polish comfort deliciousness...GET HERE NOW! We had the assorted pierogi and one was better than the next. Sauteed in butter and onions like it's supposed to be, it was heaven on a plate. We also had the saturday special, the chicken paprikash and it couldn't have been any better than this. We had wonderful service and I loved that this neighborhood gem had a new customer every 5 minutes picking up orders to go. They were very busy for a good reason. The place is not fancy but it doesn't need to be, the food is wonderful. read more
