I don't have a Polish grandma for comparison, but I imagine this is how I would eat if I did. Everyone was friendly from the moment we walked in. Decor is dated but it didn't matter, since the food was all homemade and delicious. Don't skip the golumbki. read more

Polish Nook - Polish platter. - Polish Near Me - Niagara Falls, New York

We had a variety of items from the menu. All was delicious and truly Polish food. Service was excellent and the place was a hidden gem in a working neighborhood, away from the commercialized tourist area. Our guests were Belarussians and they enjoyed everything from the fish, soups, pork and especially the pumpkin ice cream pie. A great venue for family gatherings. read more

Service was absolutely horrendous!!! After 20 minutes we finally flagged someone down to request water. After 30 minutes we asked about our server, and the other server was surprised that we hadn't seen anyone at all. Then when we finally were able to order, the sever was rude. When we asked about sour cream she told us that "We have it. You just have to ask!" After 2 hours, our food finally arrived, with no contact from anyone at the Restaraunt. The server told us that there was a group of 17 that were here before us, which happens, but lack of communication/a heads up was quite frustrating. My food wasn't cooked (at all as my French fries were freezer burned and barely warm) my steak came out rare (I asked for Very Well Done). The baked potatoes didn't come with anything, butter or sour cream). When I finally flagged someone down (10 minutes later) to send my inedible steak back, I was worried we would never see it again. The people who were seated 30 minutes after us at the next table not only were greeted immediately, but they had their entire meal, and paid/left before we were served our entrees! My friend who ordered one of the specials asked about the sauce on her stuffed fish, the reply from our server was super helpful: "I don't know". 20 minutes after sending my steak back, it arrived...medium-well; thankfully edible because I didn't want to wait anymore! My sister ordered the Sausage special, and received 1/2 a sausage with no side option provided (it was parsley potatoes apparently but no explanation provided beforehand). No drink order was offered, and no communication until our food arrived. We had reservations and were seated at 6:30 PM. We were not served our salads until 7:15 PM (after taking our order finally at 7). Our entrees arrived at 8:30 PM and we finally left at 9:30 PM. This was the WORST service. Although the food was mostly good, aside from the fries, it is definitely not somewhere worth going to if you are in a rush. Plus, there was no apology about the delay, and again, absolutely no communication. We constantly had to try to flag someone down to get more water (which we only got refilled one time). Definitely would make it a 0 star location! read more

We were looking for a nice place to have dinner while visiting Niagara Falls, and found this gem. Polish Nook is a wonderful restaurant. The food is amazing and the service is great. Phil had the Polish Platter and I had the Baked Fish. We also had red wine and dessert with our meal. Our server was very nice and the restaurant was tastefully decorated inside. We were seated by the fireplace. Also, the menu prices were very reasonable. I highly recommend this restaurant. read more

The food is cold and tasteless. the design is also bad, but the staff is friendly. the cocktails are not tasty. I would not recommend this restaurant read more

This place is a hidden gem in Niagara Falls. The food is delicious, from the Cajun fish to the Thursday fried pork chops, youwon't be disappointed in whatever you choose. The staff are kind and courteous and treat customers like family. Highly recommend! read more

All of the food is amazing! The pierogis are the best around and the Thursday night grilled OR breaded pork chops are a must!! The service is wonderful , everyone is so friendly! read more

Might have been my favorite dining experience of the last few years. Great environment, charming staff. Wonderful.

Have been supporting this business for years. But apparently not in need of business during this time. Rude, condescending order taker on the telephone claimed her family owned the business. While I am a huge supporter of local businesses I'l go elsewhere. read more

Excellent food! Best meal that we had in Niagara Falls. Real home cooking, in a real home.

Tasty Polish food in a family run restaurant. The Polish Tasting platter was delicious. Friendly, efficient service. Highly recommend.

It is the best Polish food ever. Party of 6 and all of us loved our dishes. Must go and they accept reservations. Kelly is a great waitress. read more

Such a unique and memorable dining experience! The second we entered this place we felt like we were transported into another world. Yes, the decor is dated -- but therein lies its charm. We found it to be cozy and retro. Kelly was our incredibly friendly server who made us feel welcome and helped us choose what to order. The food was capital-D 'Delicious' and a very hearty meal for the price we paid. It was clear everything was authentic Polish food and made in-house (including their legendary pumpkin ice cream pie). This place is a must-visit if you go to Niagara Falls! Next time we drive across the border, we're definitely going back! read more

What a nice change of pace. Neighborhood restaurant . Delicious food, generous potions, friendly and personable waitresses and a clean and comfortable establishment. Definitely will not be a one time only visit. Authentic Polish food flavorful well prepared and reasonably priced.... Highly recommend a visit there!!!! read more

This place is ok. But is this place yes ok, or is it no ok? Definitely no ok. It's named after the Warsaw version of the large electronic reading tablet which is selling like hot donuts here in the USA. It is released by the same company that released the "Polish iPad", the "Polish Kindle" and the "Polish Blackberry", but the Polish Nook is much more popular than all of those, put together, multiplied by kielbasa. I wanted to love Polish Nook, I really did. Unfortunately I'm comparing it to the Pierogies at places like Pierogies Plus (McKeesport Pittsburgh), Peter K's (WNY) and Sokolowski's (Cleveland), and it's just nowhere near that level. I also like Polish Villa way way better. It tastes much fresher and just does it for me. That's in Buffalo too by the way. Having said that if you're in NF and want a good meal, Polish Nook is a good choice and lots of people will tell you that. It's massively popular in this region and for good reason. It's definitely not bad at all. I may have just caught it on an off night... they're usually very busy so look out for longish wait times. I had the combo plate which had a bit of everything but didn't really do it for me. Still if you're a lover of Polish food make sure you try this place and see what you think. read more

I'll start by saying that the Polish Nook has been on my list of "must try" places for longer than I care to admit. I'm kicking myself for not trying this place sooner. I'm a fan of Polish food and have tried most of the other local restaurants with Polish fare, so I was excited to see what the Nook had in store! I ordered the Polish Platter, which comes with kielbasa and kraut, 2 pierogi (cheese and potato) w sautéed onion, and 1 golambki (aka cabbage roll for those not familiar). Since it was an entree, it also comes with choice of soup or salad, bread and butter, coffee or tea AND dessert. It's a lot of food for less than $15!! Ok so back to the platter. This may be a bold statement but the cheese pierogi and the golambki may possibly be the best I've had. That's saying a lot considering I've had many a home made pierogi and golambki - and fortunately those people will not read this haha. But seriously, everything was delicious but for me the cheese pierogi and golambki were the stars of the show. I'm already trying to figure out when I can go back just to have those 2 things. My MIL had the baked fish and said it was very good. It also came with the whole shabang as described above since it's an entree. We both had the soup which was Polish Vegetable (note: that includes kielbasa so don't read vegetarian when you hear vegetable) and for dessert they brought out a pumpkin ice cream pie. Mind you I was so full but yes of course I ate it. Who is turning down free pumpkin ice cream pie!? Be sure and check their hours, their days open we're limited and they're not open for lunch. Did I mention I'm already planning when I can eat their next? read more

A hidden gem of Niagara Falls, the Polish Nook offers a wonderful Polish Platter as well as tradition menu options. A family atmosphere and well worth the visit. read more

Being from Kentucky, we were given this recommendation by a server at Sunshine Cafe (another great place). We were not disappointed! Being at a Polish restaurant the pierogis are a must. We couldn't decide which we liked the best. The house dressing with bleu cheese crumbles was a nice combo on the salad. We had surf and turf. The steak was cooked to perfection. Ending with the pumpkin ice cream and coffee rounded off this unexpected eatery we would have never found had it not been for the Local recommendation. read more

I love the polish platter. A little bit of everything polish you would want. You get to choose your choice of pierogis, the sausage and Cabbage roll (can't spell the polish way) is delicious. Of course the pumpkin ice cream pie is something you only get at the Polish Nook!! Never a disappointment. read more

Classic WNY Polish. This place is a bargain! All dinners come w/ house salad, dessert & coffee or tea. Drinks are strong and cheap. This place is old school, probably hasn't been updated since 1975, but who doesn't love that?! Nice lady as our waitress, food was good. Can't beat the surf & turf deal- $23.95! read more

God I love that place!!!!! Never had a bad meal there staff is friendly and food comes out very fast

My wife being from Polish descendants was absolutely overwhelmed by the quality and taste of the food here. It was the very best Polish food she has had since her Grandmother used to cook for her. We would highly recommend Polish Nook to everyone. read more

On a nostalgia trip to my birth town, I had to have some polish food, since it is one of the traditional ethnic bases in Niagara Falls (along with Italian and Irish) Relatives guided us to Polish Nook and we were well please with their sampler of keilbasa, golubke (stuffed cabbage) and sauerkraut. Good quality food with home-made rolls...but surprised to be hearing Sinatra on the PA system...but I guess Paul Anka did not do enough albums. read more

Good food at a great price. Not surprisingly same owner of John's Flaming Hearth, the desert was the real highlight of the end of dinner.

Tried this cute spot on our recent trip to buffalo. I typically don't like polish food however this place was delicious and very reasonably priced. The pork chops are a must try! Very good service too. read more

The staff is wonderful (Ella and Mary), always treat us with such respect, and make us feel welcome. The food is consistently good, no complaints. read more

Good food. Very warm inside. Dirty dishes never cleared. Never got dessert which comes with dinner. Had to ask for check. Poor service read more

Niagara Falls has several really great restaurants and this is one of the best. My partner and I ate here a few days ago with some of my family. The food was excellent. I had the Polish platter and everything was extremely delicious. My partner and brother - in-law had the fish fry and they loved it. My sister and father had an assortment of different side dishes, all were great. Although it wasn't really busy, I was impressed with the young waiter who handled all of the tables professionally and was really friendly, helpful and nice. The prices were very reasonable and I told my sister that if I had the same dish in an upscale restaurant in Seattle, it would have been three times the price. read more

Service was very slow, but friendly. Food was terrible. An embarrassment to polish food.

What a great authentic experience. The meal was fantastic. This is a no frills, down to Earth dining experience. The prices are very reasonable, especially considering you get soup or salad, bread, the main coarse, dessert, and coffee or tea all for one price. If you like Polish food this is your spot. read more

Friendly. Dated decor. Let me tell you, the food was very good! If you are interested in a change of pace while in Niagara, this is a great place. We went early 6pm and on a week night. It was recommended by a local. Glad we did it!! read more

The service was great. But we were very disappointed in the food. We ordered New York strip steak. Unfortunately the meat the meat didn't taste good. The waitress was kind enough to to replace our dinners with two fish fries. The fish fries were good we definitely would eat them again. read more

This place may be one of my favorite restaurants in Niagara Falls! I definitely recommend any of the pierogis. I also recommend the surf and turf. The service here is great and all of the staff is very friendly. The place is also owned by a wonderful family. Their hospitality and service exceeds any restaurant I have been to in Niagara Falls. read more
