I always wondered what Polonia was like because I live in Hamtramck and drive by the place quite often. Then, while trying to Google the phone number, I came across all of these reviews. I thought that most of the negative ones must have been bogus because most of them seem to mention something about the girls who work there being attractive or not... How stupid is that? I envisioned some angry guy whose brutish advances on the Polish girls working there had been spurned, logging on to Citysearch attempting to enact his revenge or something, haha.. Anyways, based upon what some of the other reviews had said, I was looking forward to a great meal. But I'm sorry to say that it's not how I would describe my dinner there at all. Maybe it was the fact that the best Polish place I've ever eaten at is less than 100 feet away from Polonia on the same street, or maybe it was the sickeningly cheesy "Polish" muzak that made me feel like I was eating in an elevator, or maybe it was the fact that the vegetables on my plate tasted like they were thawed from the freezer and the mashed potatoes tasted like the ones I used to get in the elementary school cafeteria, or it could have possibly been the fact that the beef in the cabbage roll was completely pink and the stuff actually came up and out again as soon as I made it back (half-running) to my house. It was probably a combination of everything though. Honestly, I was really looking forward to checking the place out but I was seriously disappointed. Don't get me wrong, the people who work there are very nice. Hell, I even felt my mind wander as I waited for my food.. toying with the idea of what it might be like to settle down and marry myself a nice Polonia girl (that's a joke for all of you who don't pick up on sarcasm), but you couldn't pay me to eat there again.
Pros: very nice waitresses and staff
Cons: pretty much everything else
