Business Description from the Web

An edible homage to Cleveland's steel-working past, this family-owned Polish cafeteria sits high above the Flats, on the banks of the Cuyahoga, and dishes out the same sorts of simple, sturdy comfort food -- pierogi, cabbage rolls, meatloaf, and mashed potatoes -- that once fueled our blue-collar forebears. It's not gourmet grub by any means; but for students of our culinary history,... more

This restaurant has been serving Polish cuisine since 1923, with the family's third generation currently running the operation. Located near the city's industrial section of the Flats, the eatery's blue-collar atmosphere matches the area. With a dining room unchanged since the restaurant's opening, patrons still stand along a cafeteria line to choose from the many home-style dishes behind the... more

The Scene Mike Sokolowski believes in big flavors and bigger portions. In the vintage Roaring '20s wood-paneled dining room, he ladles the same kind of stick-to-your-ribs chow his mom served the ironworkers and steel-mill hands who built the city. Local pols and prosecutors cut kielbasa and deals, folks with dirt under their fingernails and lots of consonants in their names hoist... more

I have eaten at many restaurants in North America and would have to say that Sokolowski's is at or near the top. i have to wholeheartedly disagree with carnie 777 on his or her review. To say that the portions are small or the pricing is high is ludicris. Smoked kielbasa is a sausage that can only be prepared by steam cooking it or by bringing it to a boil in water. How else to you prepare... more

After seein this place on a travel channel show, I was dying to go. Wow, was I wrong! The keilbasa is boiled and didn't even remind me of keilbasa, the peirogie were literally floating in a thick layer of fat and grease, and the macaroni and cheese tasted like it was from a frozen box!! The portion was not that large, and it was $10!! Who are these people that really think this place is that... more
