Polish Village Cafe — Restaurant in Hamtramck

I recently had the privilege of hosting a memorial lunch at Polish Village Cafe, and I am compelled to share what an outstanding experience it was for my family and me during a difficult time.

We were absolutely shocked & extremely disappointed by how horrible the pick-up order of our meals were yesterday. Whatever happened to the quality, delicious food Polish Village used to have??? The chicken noodle soup was okay & it stops there. The cream of mushroom soup was very bland & seemed to be made with canned mushrooms. The sweet cucumbers had sour cream as thick as mayo & no taste. We ordered & paid 8 potato pancakes. We only got 4 & did get reimbursed. However they were limp, the grease in thecontainer was orangish red.The pancakes were very peppy like they put hot sauce in them - yuck. The mashed potatoes were hard, just like boiled potatoes in a big hard clump. You had to look for the gravy, and it had a muddy appearance. The breaded pork chops were NOT at all like they used to be. They were tough & bland. The meatballs were also peppery tasting. The orange sauerkraut also was not the quality the kraut used to be. Also, a huge problem, their styrofoam boxes are so flimsy & not wrapped in saran wrap to hold them together. The boxes were breaking from tge wait of the food & the beans, meatballs, gravy & porkchops were falling out into the bag. There is NO excuse for that to happen. We have gone there for years until the past year & highly raved about it. Now, we honestly don't know that we ever want to waste our money...

This place would get 10 stars if it could. Best meal in all of Detroit. Good old fashioned home cooked Polish comfort food in a cozy basement diner. Ate here 2 years ago and this time was even better! We always sit at the bar and the people working are always super friendly and welcoming. They start you off with a bread + cracker basket, but be strong and save some for your entree’s sauces! The golabki is divine: cabbage stuffed with ground pork and topped with the most velvety, semi-sweet tomato sauce. This could possibly be my dying meal. The pickle soup is tangy and just a smack of creaminess, not heavy at all. It’s the perfect pickle + potato in a bowl. Our main event this time was the Hungarian pancake because we recently saw it on an old rerun of Guy’s DDD. It was massive and massively delicious! It’s exactly as described: “one huge potato pancake covered in a pork & veggie goulash with a mild kick of spice. Topped with Hungarian sauce. Sour cream on the side.” My god, it could feed a small village! Or quite frankly, me and my husband. The pork was super tender, the veggies still had some firmness, and the sauce was perfectly spiced but still mild enough for tender tummies. My lord, I could go on forever, but I might say this could be my best meal of 2024 for both the flavors and the experience of the place that...
