    Love this place, loved the third and fourth generation family members that are keeping this institution going (for over 99 years), loved the food, and I love the atmosphere. If your looking for great food that is fresh, look no further. I loved every bite of my pierogis (tried all four types) and the cabbage roll (soft and tender). The pierogis will ruin you for other pierogis, and that’s okay, get ruined. I washed my dinner with a bottle of Tyskie pivo (one of the tasty Polish beers that is carried at this establishment). I cannot wait to come back to dine at this place in the future, thank you for keeping this place going and producing such quality food. Make sure you have cash or your ATM card (an ATM on site) as credit cards are not accepted.

    The elevator operator at the Niagara Falls viewing platform heard us talking about another Polish restaurant that was closed and strongly recommended Gadawski's. She said she didn't get a kickback for directing us there but is related to the owner. I am Polish from Pittsburgh. I know Polish food. Gadawski's is a home run.

    The Wednesday special was Mac n Cheese with polish sausage. I should've waited until Thursday for the cabbage rolls. Menu is limited as to what "Polish" is available on specific days. I believe they offered 4 pierogi fillings, we sampled all. Service was friendly with a smile.

    the Best Family owned (and run) restaurant for Friday fish fries with a cool one. But don't leave without having some home made desert.

    Lots of history is located at this place. Very comfy atmosphere. Great service. And the food is reasonably priced as well as good. Granted the menu is limited. But what is offered is of excellent quality food wise.

    Really old school Niagara Falls restaurant and bar. My family has been going there for decades. It's cash only establishment and has some good quality inexpensive food. To give you an idea, chicken in the basket is on the menu (which is awesome and rarely seen in modern times). Wings are really good too. It still is busy as Hell on Fridays in a desolate neighborhood with abandoned buildings.

    If you visit Niagra Falls and don't visit Freddy & Bridget and eat the Polish platter you will have missed the best part of your trip. Not only is the food authentic & handmade by an expert chef, it is the absolute most delicious meal you will ever have the pleasure of eating. The atmosphere is straight out of Cheers but with a friendlier crowd! I highly recommend Gadawski's. It is the best in NY!

    Old fashion Polish restaurant in an old neighborhood! Fair prices, great food especially the Perogies! With a little ☘️ND flare! Do it!

    We came up here from Pennsylvania to do a little tour of Niagara falls. My girlfriend chose this restaurant. The food here is to die for. The pierogies, and pork chops are excellent. The sauerkraut is to die for! And our waitress was very,very good! If you come here to visit and you don't come to this restaurant you will miss out on some excellent dining.

    With the Notre Dame motif, it definitely made me think I was on the south side of Chicago. Our server couldn't care less about our table, but it made up for with with the food. Portions were decent, and it was a pretty good fish fry.

    A masterpiece of western NY dining. If you haven’t been, you are missing out! Best polish food and atmosphere.

  • 5/5 Arthur D. 1 year ago on Google
    The food was excellent. Portions were a little small but it made room for dessert. Waitress was very nice. Definitely will be going back.

    Was there the other day with a gf. Visiting from Ontario to go cross border shopping and Joanne my gf had been to the restaurant before. I love Polish food and ordered their Perogies and soup. Coming back again when I can. Waitress we had was amazing and also part of a pair that make the perogies by hand fresh each Tuesday.. they are HUGE!!

    I don't see what the hype is about, at least as far as the food goes: I saw one Polish dish on the menu, pierogi, which may v well not be homemade. There was a sizeable crowd, so I guess it's a popular hangout, but....

    Wonderful food and service! I had the fisherman's platter. Both broiled and fried are great, but I prefer broiled. Son had a polish platter. Nice family-friendly atmosphere 👌

    Old time Polish restaurant with fantastic comfort Polish food!! Get the Polish platter. Restaurant is cash only, but has an ATM inside.

    Best Polish food I have had in a very long time. Amazing atmosphere with all the history on the walls.

  • 4/5 Ashley R. 1 year ago on Google
    We wanted something different and got just that. The seating is a little closer than my comfort but wasn't a huge deal. The history of the place is the most interesting part and the cheesecake was amazing. They were sold out of tapioca and that made me sad.

    Fantastic people, especially Freddy and Bridget. Great food and very personal and friendly service. The food is unbelievable and the place and people make it just like being at home.

    The service we received was terrible. We felt as if our table was an inconvenience. The silverware was dirty, the fish was undercooked, it took a long time for everything to come to the table. I couldnt tell you our waitresses name because she didnt introduce herself. Overall, very disappointed in our experience tonight. I had even made reservations for a table of 6 hoping to have a nice evening out with our tweens.

    Best pierogies and beef on weck I've ever experienced. Super friendly owner and staff. A must stop place if you're traveling to Niagara.

    Went for St.Patrick's day. Corned beef and cabbage dinner was really good!

    A friend brought food from here to my home when I was sick some months back. Sausage and pierogie. Best I've had in years. I've been meaning to review. Can't wait to try more.

  • 5/5 Nancy S. 2 years ago on Google
    The food was very good. My 9 month old granddaughter had the macaroni and cheese for only $5. They are very child friendly and the place was hoping. The waitress was very attentive.

    Went to Gadawski's on a Friday night while on a family vacation to the Falls. Location was walking distance from where we were staying so we figured we would give it a try. We were all pleasantly surprised by the food and service. Prices were very reasonable and food was delicious. Our waitress was right the pistachio delight dessert is a must have!
