So now I know the reason people talk about this place--It's really that good, especially if you enjoy homemade cabbage rolls, mac and cheese, sausage, chicken paprikash and pierogies. My one complaint is that I ate too much at once because it was so good. I have to say Sokolowski's might have the best mac and cheese I've ever tried,... More

I used to live in the Tremont neighborhood within walking distance of Sokolowski's and can attest that I have never regretted having a meal there. I routinely take visitors to Cleveland to Sokolowski's due to its unique, Cafeteria-style, polish food. The line can get to be pretty long but that is because they are only open for lunch Monday-Friday, and... More

Yummy cafeteria style. Look at the long line, you will still be eating before you even get to your Plan B idea. Do not order steak, does this look like a steak place? Get the comfort food, do not use your nutrition counter today.

Try to get there early for lunch (11:30) or wait can be 20 minutes. Cafeteria style, excellent fish fry on Friday, salsbury steak is unbelievable, great pierogi's, be prepared for a nap after lunch.

This is a favorite dining spot for my family and me. Everything on the menu for the night is appealing. I keep changing my mind and I usually make my decision as I am in the cafeteria-style line and I step up to the many offerings. One thing that is not to be missed is the pierogi! The home-style food... More

Do plan a wonderful supper at this original Cleveland restaurant- homemade Polish cooking in a comfortable atmosphere. Go through the cafeteria-style line to choose the humongous Stuffed Cabbage Roll and mashed potatoes with fresh tomato gravy with green beans. A nice salad bar is still included with homemade cucumber dill dressing . There are many tempting desserts at the begging... More

Excellent polish food. Family friendly, cafeteria style restaurant. Chicken paprikash and pierogis delicious. Coconut creme pie very fattening but very good! Very causal atmosphere.

Visited Sokolowski's on a Friday night (2/22/13). Was apprehensive as I have been to many places that advertise food like "your Mother made" and find that most of them must have had a Mother who couldn't cook! Have also changed my eating habits over the years and the food being served here do not often find there way to my... More
