We were told by the owner of Java Joe's in St. Ignace to visit this place instead of that 'other Polish restaurant' at the north end of 119. We were very happy with that recommendation. Owner here is very nice and helpful. Food was prepared quickly and tasted excellent. Even ordered extra perogi to take home. Will definitely return.

My Wife and I stopped at the Polish Kitchen after driving down from Mackinaw City on our way home. I love authentic Polish food and was searching for some when I came across this place after searching through Google about local restaurants in the area. My Grandfather is from Poland so I grew up eating his cooking. I had high expectations after reading all of the great reviews about this place. Parking was tight but we found a spot and came in. This is a pay first/seat yourself restaurant so I ordered 2 Kielbasa plates, a Polish sampler platter, and 2 soft drinks. Everything came to $53 dollars. We paid then wandered off to go find a table. There was no table for 2 left so we sat at a huge 6 chair table in the back corner. The restaurant is decent size and the place was about 75% full. The waiter/owner brought the food to our table after about 30 minutes and we were hungry and excited to dig in. First off, the Kielbasa was delicious. It was served hot and it was tasty. We both enjoyed the Kielbasa. No problems there. The vegetables on my plate were terrible. They tasted undercooked. The carrots were barely warm, squishy, and full of water. They tasted and looked just like cheap, bagged, microwaveable 5 minute vegetables. My wife's mashed potatos came with no butter, no seasoning, no gravy, and she told me they tasted like potatos out the box. The best thing on the sampler platter was the kielbasa. The perogies had no flavors at all. The stuffed cabbage roll was below average was not hot. I always expect good food to be served HOT. That is ground zero for a good restaurant. Also after the waiter dropped the food off we never saw him again. Not once. No, "how is your meal?" Nothing. And when we left, we passed the front counter/cash register and there was no acknowledgement. Overall, we were very disappointed in the food AND the service. The kielbasa was good. I enjoyed that. But everything else, including the hospitality, was severely lacking.

I’m so happy that they reopened. The food is homemade and delicious! I can’t wait to come back with my kids. Kielbasa is meaty and juicy. The perogies and cabbage roll are yummy. I am not a fan of pasties but this was so good! One of my favorite restaurants here in Northern Michigan.

We loved the pork cutlet and kielbasa. Pierogies were delicious and my wife really enjoyed the cabbage roll and sauerkraut! If you're not familiar with Polish food, get the samples and share.

So glad we stumbled upon this gem! My husband and I both got a meal and we got an appetizer and it was under $50! Seriously delicious homemade polish food!

Delicious!! My husband’s family is Polish, and this was the first authentic Polish food he has had in 20 years. The pierogies were so good! My husband said they tasted exactly like the ones his grandma used to make. My favorite were the potato-cheese pierogies. The kielbasa was also really good, and I’m not usually a sausage fan. We had 3 crepes for dessert, and the strawberry was my favorite. The cost was very reasonable, and the guy who took our order and brought us our food was extremely nice and helpful. Overall a fantastic experience for Polish food!

Family came here and we were served with such kindness. The dill pickle soup and beet soup are delicious. The soups are must order here, large portion as well! Star of the menu is the polish reuben. Pastie was a bit dry. Pierogis were great. The angel wings were light yet crispy, definitely eating here again.

Great food and service at a reasonable price. The environment was very informal and comfortable (and of course included a picture of the pope. My wife and I split “The Kings Feast”. We loved everything. The stuffed cabbage was particularly good with both great taste and texture. Try as we might, we couldn’t finish everything. If I ever get within 50 miles again, I will make it a point to stop.

Whenever I visit friends in Mackinaw, they always make sure to take me to the Polish Kitchen. We are big fans of the perogies! We usually eat in at the restaurant and then get frozen perogies to take home. The owner is friendly the restaurant is kept very clean.

What a great restaurant, family owned and run, for home cooked Polish comfort food. We were greeted and served by the friendly staff. The pierogis, my wife ordered, were packed full of flavor. She couldn't stop eating them. I ordered the Bigos stew and was served a big bowl of it I enjoyed it immensely. The pork, kielbasa and carrots smothered by the sauerkraut was beyond delicious. I couldn't stop eating it. The smokiness of the kielbasa, meatiness of pork and sweetness of carrots works well with the sauerkraut. An amazing gem of a restaurant. Well worth stopping by for delicious Polish food.

What an amazing place! Truly authentic Polish food. You may have a weight because it is so popular but I highly recommend it! They also have gluten-free options.

YUM! Authentic and delicious. Zurek is AMAZING! Service is great and did I say the pierogi is the best you’ll ever have? So sad this place has been closed for the last few months as they had a new baby arrival! I look every day as I pass by. I’m hoping they reopen soon. What a great menu and the prices are extremely reasonable. Don’t miss this place. If you think you don’t l like Polish food, you will after eating here. Next time I’ll post some photos- because there is always a next time!

Right now you can't eat in but they have tables outside. They have very friendly and knowledgeable staff. We had a party of five and everyone loved their selection. Good size portions and lots of choices

I’ve been going to Polish Kitchen for over 10 years and always find the food, staff and service to be outstanding! Great folks!

What a treasure! The food at this restaurant is amazing. We had a little wait for our food in a group of 6 due to covid staffing issues, but it was well worth it. Everyone loved what they ordered. Pictured here is the goulash with potato pancakes. The taste and temperature were both perfect. Highly recommend.

Best Polish food around. Reminds me of my grandma's Polish dishes. We try to stop in whenever in Petoskey. And the Apple Cake is delicious!!!

We have been to this restaurant everytime we are in the area. Nothing fancy, but all is good. I can't remember the name of the sandwich I got that is pictured, but boy was it good and massive too. There's not too many times that I don't clean my plate, this time was one of them. I could only eat half of it, the other half went home. It had a nice size breaded pork loin topped with sliced kielbasa and sliced cooked cabbage and it might of had something else too. It was delicious! You may have to wait a while for the food as they can be busy at times, and they only have a few people working there (mom & pop), but it is worth it. We got a take out of the frozen pierogi to take home with us as we know that is good as well too. There food is too good of a value to pass up. Very reasonably priced for what you get. I highly recommend.

My favorite place for a polish meal up north. Their pierogi rivals the authentic ones found in Hantramck, Michigan. Restaurant is family run and this is a must stop every time we visit the area. Highly recommend if you love polish food.

This place is amazing!!! The food tastes so good and the pricing is very reasonable. The staff is fruendly and will answer any question you have. I would go again in a heartbeat. If you love polish food, this is the place for you!

The bigos and The cabbage rolls were good. The crepes/Krokety were very unappealing with frozen vegetables inside. Out of all the pierogies the pork and sauerkraut ones were decent. the other flavours (potato onion, potato cheddar) very bland. Overall decent food for a quick and very filling bite with some good picks and some not so good picks. Probably won’t be back as I’m pretty picky with my polish food (I am polish) but glad I had a chance to try it and I always like to support small businesses and everyone’s taste buds are surely different. :) friendly owner too!
