Ok, to find this little gem in Cedar was such a pleasant surprise! We were not hungry in the least bit but when we discovered the Polish Countryside Kitchen we had to get a "Scooby snack" of pierogi and cucumber dill salad. The gentleman running the truck was super friendly and took the time to share with us how he operates his farm and his motivation to do so. The kitchen prides itself in serving authentic Polish cuisine with only the best of ingredients. Since it's a food trailer, you get to enjoy your food outdoors, and in this day the weather was perfect, it was fun to watch the motorcycles ride by as we ate our snack. Now onto the food! We tried the cheddar potato and it was delicious! the pierogi were cooked to perfection with just the right amount of crispiness from searing and the filling was very light but full of flavor. And the cucumbers dill salad reminded me of my Babusia made when I would visit her as a boy. . read more

Everything at Polish Countryside Kitchen is the best version of that item I've ever tried, but I *really* wish there was consistency in business hours. The owner is amazing, we chatted with him at length about his farm, standards, etc. It's refreshing to meet someone that cares as much about what they are consuming as you do! This guy gets it. Tried the goat burger, not at all what I expected! Was way less gamey...more like a bison/veal. Definitely try it! So nice he had a GF option for this, the grilled cabbage and beets (seemed like a beet hummus almost) was 11/10. The pierogi? 20/10. Even though he doesn't make his own (uses Srodek's) IT IS THE BEST PIEROGI I HAVE EVER TASTED! The secret? He cooks it in lard from his own farm. The kapusta & kielbasa flavor was my fav. Also ordered a birch sap drink, and there are so many health benefits! Loved it! While I found it surprising he wasn't familiar with Polish terminology in conversation, and he told us he'd be open on the 4th...that was a lie. A bummer since we drove far, but it's his business, he can do what he wants. Believe they are open Friday-Monday, but don't quote me on that. Lol If you are in TC, Glenn Arbor, Empire, or anywhere around Sleeping Bear Dunes, Polish Countryside Kitchen is 100% worth the drive! read more

This is one of the best culinary treasures in Northern Michigan. They have phenomenal food and a great setting. Never disappoints.

We happened to be in Cedar, Michigan shopping for yarn, and discovered it is a Polish enclave. Not only that, it features a vareity of Polish stores and food shops. We decided to lunch at the Polish Countryside Kitchen. We had mushroom soup, pierogis and kielbasas. All were very good. The pork items are raised on the proprietor's own farm. Farm to fork. Service was very efficient and upbeat. The only quibble would be prices--they seem a bit on the high side to me. 2 kielbasa, 1 soup, 1 pierogi and 1 water came to nearly $50. Check the menu to verify, but if you are anywhere in the Traverse City area and get a yen for Polish food, this is the place! And you should go. read more

I love eating here. Love their Golabki If they have the schnitzel, get it! The pork is from their own farm Their soups are amazing. They usually always have pickle soup. They're only open Friday through Monday I've tried almost everything on the menu and I'm never disappointed read more

Great Service! My favorite from what we ordered was the Jalapeño/cream cheese pierogies :) The place is definitely worth a stop.

Very great food outstanding service great owner great environment great music would go back over and over

This is as LEGIT as it gets! best kielbasa, pierogis and golabki I've ever had. they had sold out of the special (schnitzel), which was a bummer but there are SO many other amazing things on the menu to keep you satisfied. if you're up for the cherry festival, this is a wonderful scenic trip through the countryside to get some amazing scratch made home cooked dinner. I may have to schedule more trips up north now! it's THAT good. read more

Best Polish food ever. Easy. Great food. Tastes like my mother in laws. Best little secret of the area

Great food- it's a carry out or picnic table affair- but wow the food is good! True Polish fare.
