Amazing service & atmosphere! I always wanted to come here since I was younger. And my first visit took a long time but SO worth it. The Perogis are to die for!!! The sausage was delicious & she made my dirty martini perfect. The pool tables are so much fun! That's a huge plus. Definitely coming back! Loved it!!!!!
I'm giving it a four because of the service. The pierogi's were outstanding that we split as an appetizer for four people. As a 12 pierogi entree for 17.00, nothing comes with it. No salad, nothing. Sour cream. So who eats 12 pierogi with nothing else for dinner? Delish but 17.00 with no side included?
It may not be much to look at but this little bar houses a Polish Grandmother. Mainly a bar and Pool hall, the kitchen has a small-ish menu of food including a few Polish specialities. They are supposed to be famous for their Pierogi (which we WILL try next time) . I started with some very good Cream of Chicken soup that was everything you would want it to be. I also finished my sister in law's cabbage soup that was full of sausage and very good as well. My wife got the Polish Sausage dinner and I got the breaded pork chop dinner. She is not crazy about sauerkraut and I very much am. I told her I would eat hers and she could have my vegetables, hearing that the restaurant switched them in the kitchen before bringing them out, very nice of them. Growing up in my Polish household breaded pork chops were a staple...but they were not this good. Everything about them was excellent, perfect color, perfectly breaded and amazing. The sauerkraut and mashed potatoes were excellent. My wife enjoyed her large portion of sausage and we both took home enough for dinner the next day. My brother in law got the Stroganoff and it looked crazy good. Fun time, great service and can't wait to go back.
A nice Tavern with a steak restaurant attached to it this place was highly unique and very reasonably priced and had great steak offering there is a bar in this building and the overall seating in hangout of this bar is very high as this is a very sports betting Centric Type R or one who can track
We order to go from here quite often. Pork tenderloin is fantastic. Pierogi are heaven on earth.
I had a carry out from here for dinner. Got the pork tenderloin with mashed potatoes and veggies, everything was excellent. Also cream of chicken rice soup was great. The dinner was enough for 2 meals and it was great. If they're wheelchair accessible I plan to go to the Twisted Rose because it looks like a cozy place to chill with great foodmy kinda place I'll be enjoying the food again soon.
My lovely lady and I decided to give this place a try on a Friday night since we will be moving within 10 minutes of it. Walking in we were greeted with a friendly smile and instantly shown to a table of our choice by the grand fireplace in the dining room. The place has a hometown feel and we felt comfortable browsing the menu. With hearts set on steak we ordered a melt in your mouth King cut prime rib with tangy horseradish sauce and garlic mash that set us back in the chair at first bite. The appetizer soups are homemade and outstanding. With a properly mixed and chilled martini, we were ultimately satisfied with a delicious and reasonably priced dinner. We were compelled to meet and thank owners Jason and Theresa for a great dinner in person. We enjoyed this place so much we ended up staying at the super friendly tavern side and danced to the live band until midnight. If you love hometown friendly feel good place, check out the Twisted Rose! Thanks for a great evening Jason and Theresa!
