Editorial Review for Polish Village Cafe – by Citysearch Editors
In Short
On weekends, families line up for a table in the basement of this historic Hamtramck restaurant. PVC serves up the city's best Old-World cuisine--think juicy kielbasa, crisp potato pancakes and moist pierogi. Prices are family-friendly, though those on a health kick are out of luck (many entrees are decadently starchy and fried). The Polish plate is the perfect sampler for a first visit.

After waiting in line for over an hour, one of the waitresses made a mistake with the list of names for seating. Instead of seating our party of five, she broke up a group of seats and made them into a few smaller tables, then called out 2 names for groups who had been waiting less than 15 minutes. Apparently she grabbed the wrong list of names. When called out on her mistake, she did nothing to rectify the error, not even an apology. Two groups behind us who had been waiting for a long time walked out. When I asked her where we were on the list, she snapped, "I don't know anything about the list. Whatever." Needless to say, we took our party of five elsewhere and don't plan on ever going back.
Pros: Good food.
Cons: Rude, poor service.

My buddy and I went to the Polish Village Cafe last night around 7:45p and it was packed! We decided to walk around a little bit to see if there was something else, but came back to the Polish Village as we figured the food must be really good if there was a line at close to 8pm. Well, we were right, the food was great. I have only had Polish food once before, and don't remember it well, but I order the Hungarian Pankcake. The potato pancake had somewhat of a spicy goulash on top with pork. The pork was very tender and could almost melt in your mouth. I had a couple of the 16oz Polish beers and they really went well with the meal. The beers were $4 a piece which I thought was really reasonable considering they were 16oz imported beers. The dinners were about $7 a piece and got a pretty good-sized portion. I really can't wait to go back there and am debating about heading down there tonight! Definitely recommend!
Pros: Vlaue for the money, great food, cheap Polish beers
Cons: wait staff can be a little surly
