    Service is outstanding. They go above and beyond to be sure you have everything you need. Came for breakfast. Best potato pancakes in WNY. Delicious too They offer a wide breakfast menu to please anyone. You must try this gem

    Had a lunch meeting here. Cute spot. Our server, whom I'm sorry can't recall her name, but I'm sure she's one of their seasoned servers, was absolutely delightful. She had great recommendations, very attentive and just super nice. I was shocked at the portion sizes, they were HUGE! We started the meal with the potato pancakes, which I thought were delicious. Came with a side of sour cream and applesauce. I ordered the buffalo chicken salad, this was a family size salad, and they provided almost a bottle of dressing, which I wasn't mad about. My only thing the chicken was hammered and way over cooked. A Caesar salad was ordered at the table, again huge bowl, a breakfast plate of a veggie omelette and the polish Reuben which everyone loved. Definitely would go back when I have a taste for polish food.

    I had a very good business lunch at the Polish Villa! There is something for everyone and they were even serving breakfast dishes at lunch. We started with the potato pancakes... so good... freshly grated and served with sour cream... I had the polish Reuben as my entree and it was really good! ... lots of corned beef , Swiss cheese, sauerkraut, Russian dressing served on a big potato pancake... delicious. Service extremely friendly! Welcoming atmosphere with lots of seating.

    Met up for a work lunch with coworkers at Polish Villa. It has been about 20 years since I have been there and was pleasantly surprised! The service was excellent and the atmosphere was very homey just like I remembered. We made it just in time to pick between breakfast and lunch foods. I chose the veggie omelette which hit the spot, while the others chose the polish ruben and salads. The portions were huge and the food was cooked well. I definitely think we will be back.

    A must try. Came here with the family on a cold weekend afternoon, and it wasn't super busy. Service was friendly and polite. I ordered a sampler to try various things, and it was all so good! Definitely worth it. There aren't too many authentic polish places, so be sure to hit this spot up when looking for a good pierogi!

    My wife and I have been putting off trying Polish Villa for years because we usually end up at a chain restaurant when we make the trip to Buffalo. But tonight we had a great opportunity to go since the hotel we were at was just a few miles away. The food was amazing! Was so impressed with my Polish Platter I ordered with a variety of homemade foods. My wife got the pork chop/perogi dinner and was just as satisfied. I was hesitant to try the golabki with my platter because I'm not too fond of stuffed cabbage, but it was the best part of my meal hands down! Our server as well as the manager and staff made us feel welcome and made sure we're were taken care of. Was very homey inside which made us feel comfortable. Will be back for certain......probably with other family members.

    My husband and I stopped in on the Saturday after Christmas. The restaurant seemed busy with a large funeral luncheon, and another large party who seemed to be having a holiday celebration . There were also a handful of other small parties such as ours. As a result, the service was a bit slow with only one (1) hostess (who also took drink orders and bussed/cleaned tables). Our server was apologetic regarding the delay and attentive - making sure that we had everything we needed and continued to check in with us throughout the meal. When our meal was served, it was well worth the wait. I selected the Polish Platter - Golumbki, 2 Kielbasa (they offer smoked and fresh - I chose smoked), 2 pierogi (choice of potato, farmers cheese, or sauerkraut, vegetable (I had sweet & sour cabbage, potato (I selected potato pancake which was served with applesauce and sour cream, and rye bread and butter. The platter also comes with soup or salad and I opted for the chicken soup with kluski noodles. There was enough food for two (2) meals - in fact, I took home my leftovers and had them for dinner later that night!). My husband selected the pork chop platter with mashed potatoes and apple sauce. He also added the smoked kielbasa ($5.95 for 2 large links). Everything was delicious and I believe that everything (except the apple sauce) was homemade. My only complaint (and reason for not giving a 5-star review) is that the restrooms need some serious attention-deep cleaning and updates. While this wasn't our first visit to the Polish Villa, I'm glad to say the quality is still great and it won't be our last!

    I brought family and friends on a trip back home to Buffalo for a military promotion ceremony and I wanted to let them have a taste of traditional Polish food. Here's a restaurant my parents use to bring me to as a little boy. We had a fantastic dinner and it brought back so many wonderful memories. Polish Villa is a community staple. Can't wait to go back.

    The best Polish food in western New York. The staff is authentic and the food is first class. I try to go back whenever I'm in Buffalo.

    When you drive by, if this place doesn't immediately spark your curiosity I'd be surprised…read more.. listen, stop and go inside! I really like this diner. It's got a vibrant rustic-can, loud but comfy feel to it. The place looks cool inside and out, you just know this greasy spoon is going to have good food and it doesn't fail to provide it either! You can order anything and leave happy (from the apple pie to the pig, beef and chicken sandwich). They have booth seating, counter seating for one (or two) and offer outdoor seating with a little picnic table, shaded area and they also accept cash/credit. On the menu, there's pig, beef and chicken items, even a fish fry. They're great for breakfast, lunch and dinner, with or without friends/family. Known for their BBQ, in a variety of flavors, it's simply finger-licking delicious! I like coming here for breakfast mostly, love me some good home fries and a juicy steak. Portions are large and filling. I've also ordered take-out and picked up my order, the staff is super friendly and there's such an upbeat vibe to the place.

    Phenomenal food and prices!…read more I got a double bacon burger topped with onion rings, pulled chicken, and brisket that was HUGE! I had to hunch over to take a bit so I didn't get it all over me... great flavor and very delicious. It was a crazy order for me bec I usually keep it simple but this was calling my name. My server was great. She was super attentive and made sure my cup was never out of water. (I usually drink water when dining out) The place is def little so it gets packed quick. A couple booths and a couple tables. Maybe 10 total. Parking can be very tight in front so go to the back or side. I'll be back to try other things.

    This is our second time at an OPH (two different locations) and we have yet to be disappointed…read more Our service was fabulous. She was attentive, friendly, and quick. The atmosphere was very diner like and we enjoyed the good warm coffee while we waited for our delicious meal! So to the food aspect: my partner got the Irish Omelette which had broccoli, corn beef hash, spinach, pepper jack cheese (his choice and we both agree it was a win). The omelette sounded overwhelming to me, but I am thankful my partner ordered it because it was good! He also ordered the English muffin. Which was also AMAZING! Now onto the western omelette, it was also wonderful. Eggs fluffy, a good amount of cheese (I picked cheddar). Everything was perfect. But the star of the show was my side of French toast. They bake the bread there for the French toast. It was cooked to perfection and the perfect amount of sweet. One slice was all I needed (...to break my diet ) but dang was it worth it.

    On my last day of summer vacation, I treated my mom to breakfast. This is one of her favorite…read morebreakfast spots, so naturally, this is where we ended up! We arrived closer to lunchtime than breakfast, which worked in our favor since there wasn't a wait. We were seated right away, and our server, Angela P., promptly came over for our coffee order. Two coffees later, we were ready to order. My mom, as always, went with her beloved Mushroom Omelet (a bit steep at $15.20 in my opinion), while I ordered a half portion of the Two by Four, which included one egg and two pancakes. It ended up being the perfect amount of food for me. I wasn't thrilled about the $1.60 upcharge for chocolate chips, but the pancakes were fluffy, delicious, and worth the splurge. The restaurant appears to have been remodeled since my last visit and it has a much nicer look and feel than I remembered. My only real complaint is the noise level. Every time I've been here it's been incredibly loud, making conversation a bit difficult and hindering the overall breakfast experience, especially before coffee. Overall, I understand why so many people (including my mom) love this place. The service was friendly, the food was good, and we left satisfied. It's just not my personal favorite breakfast spot in Buffalo, especially considering the prices and noise level. Even so, if you're looking for a reliable breakfast with generous portions, I can see the appeal.
