The Scene – This charming little cafe, located down the street from Southie's Andrew T stop, provides an inexpensive crash-course in all things Polish. From the dining room soundtrack (alternating from Polka to pop to country) to the attentive Polish waitresses, diners may feel they took a wrong turn and ended up in Warsaw. Non-natives can be easily spotted by looking for those staring quizzically at the small dishes of lard adorning each of the six blond pine tables. – – The Food – For the uninitiated, Polish cuisine delivers Spartan arrangements of basic, hearty…

Great Authentic Polish Food
by mlyway
Great classic dishes include Borscht soup and potato pancakes with applesauce. But Cafe Polonia also offers American basics like the Caesar salad. They have good service, but it can be crowded around holidays. The employees speak both English and Polish. Across the street is the European Baltic Cafe, which is a great little grocery store to pick up ingredients to cook the same Polish delicacies as Cafe Polonia.
- Pros: Very good service.
- Cons: Not enough seating.

Best Authentic Polish Food
by SouthieSandy
Cozy atmosphere, pleasant service and terrific food make this a great local place. My grandparents (on my mother's side) were from Poland and I've grown up cooking all types of polish food. This restaurant is the real deal! I took my mom and her sister there this past summer and they loved it.

Great food, except...
by starx
I ordered the pierogi and my boyfriend ordered the beef tripe soup. I wholeheartedly enjoyed my meal (I grew up with a Polish mom, and the pierogi I ordered was almost as good as hers). My boyfriend thought the food was good until a couple hours later he got severe food p o i s o n i n g and ended up in the hospital. He refuses to ever go to Cafe Polonia ever again. Oh well.
- Pros: great pierogi
- Cons: see review
