Christina's

the restaurant changes the owner, but. still. operates under the old name. Traditional Polish cuisine, nice and fast service. I did not wait for the table.I ate tomato soup - very good, tasted like homemade!I also ordered a traditional Polish casserole whit mushrooms, I haven't eaten fast food in a long time and I was pleasantly surprised!I recommend!

Stopped in at 6 pm on a Friday while wandering around Brooklyn. It was very quiet but started to get busy around 7 pm. On recommendation from the waitress I tried the zucchini pancakes and had a polish beer. Prices were good and the food was good.

Nice and diversed menu. Polish dishes are great, and pierogi are just spectacular. I would definitely recommend ❤️

Love this little restaurant! Came here on a rainy day once, and the food really hit the spot. Prices are reasonable, and the service is very nice. They always decorate for all the holidays very tastefully. There is no tv, which is something my husband and I always look for to get a nice quiet atmosphere with no extra noise. I got the Polish platter, and my husband got the Keilbasa sandwich, and both were very good. Awesome place!

I came here on a whim, wasn't even going to come into the neighborhood but I had a change of plans. I sat down and the server Nana was very friendly and told me about special, which I ordered. I found the friend and it just so happened that he was in the neighborhood and decided to join me. They played some pretty cool music and it was a nice change from the usual food that I eat. Definitely a good representation of food from Poland.

The food is out of this world !!! Everything on the menu is made fresh. Outstanding athletic Polish food. It has a very nice vibe. The staff was friendly and professional. I would recommend Christina's and will definitely be going back real soon

This place is called now New Christina's Restaurant - new owner, a bit new menu but food not as good as at original Christina's unfortunately!!! Went there few times and last time was the worst - food not as good as expected and as it should look like and taste like - huge disappointment - pierogis that my mom had looked terrible on the plate and tasted as badly or worse !!! I had chicken sandwich with stuffed mushrooms for the third time - disappointed with taste - hard meat - not as good as two visits before here under new management - not planning to visit this place any time soon - not worth the time and money - for two simple dishes and a beer $50 - for this last experience here - huge disappointment and waste of time and money 💰

Probably best Polish spot in BK. Nothing in vicinity compares to the authenticity and quality of the food that this establishment offers. We tried the Hungarian potato pancake with goulash and the zapiekanki. Cooking is on point! Keep it up.

First Polish restaurant we've been to and it was awesome - cheerful, quick service, beautiful brick walls and nice bar. We started with potato pancakes - they were crispy on the outside, creamy on the inside - with applesauce and sour cream, My schnitzel was classic, the egg on top perfectly poached, and fresh thin fries. Cucumber salad was refreshing and dressed with cream, salt, herbs, and a little sugar. My husband had the stuffed cabbage which he raved about. It's served in a tomato sauce, and the filling was savory and delicious. The check was reasonable - this was a great stop for a Sunday lunch!

The spicy beef pierogis are amazing. Fast and kind server and reasonable prices. I only got an app and a beer, but very much enjoyed the experience.

When in Greenpoint I always defer to my Polish cousin for all things beau-hunk, Czech, Polish etc. - especially food. Cristina's delivers some of the best I've had. The borscht (don't miss the white borscht!), perogies, and kielbasa are all top notch and shouldn't missed. Save room for dessert - the honey cake is delicious! The service is friendly and they're happy to provide recommendations if you're not familiar the the dish. Great find, thanks cousin.

I stopped by the neighborhood and wanted to take advantage of the outdoor dining area on a nice day. The fried pierogies were amazing, absolutely perfect with the sauteed onions and sour cream. I loved the lazanki pasta, it was the perfect texture and the mushrooms complemented the dish so well. And the service was polite and attentive.

A wonderful place with European food, I recommend trying their special dishes of the day. service and atmosphere are super. I recommend

Ordered online and they never hit send. However, we only waited an extra 10 minutes for food. The staff were quite nice and got our order sorted quickly. The restaurant had a cozy and warm vibe. Food was great, I ordered the polish platter had everything I wanted to try. The potato and cheese pierogies were phenomenal. The cabbage roll was flavorful and the pickled cabbage was addictive. I'd definitely come back and dine in!

Nice , quaint, not my first time there. Simple polish cooking in a nice atmosphere with great service

Great news! Christina's Currently under new Polish ownership and food upgraded and menu expanded. No raise in prices! Bonus: Christina's now takes credit cards! Best cheap eats and comfort food in Greenpoint Physical renovation coming soon

I recently dined at this Polish gem in Greenpoint, and it was a culinary delight. The pierogi was a symphony of flavors, each delicate dumpling bursting with authentic fillings. The kielbasa was a savory masterpiece, perfectly seasoned and grilled to perfection. The service was impeccable; the staff's knowledge of the menu and genuine warmth elevated the dining experience. Christina's ambiance transported me with its simple decor, creating a cozy yet lively atmosphere. A must-visit for anyone craving an authentic taste of Poland in the heart of Greenpoint.

Just ordered delivery from Christina's for the first time. The meat pork pierogi were excellent and the side salad was fresh and tasty! I will definitely be ordering from them again!

The food and service is great! The ambiance is very comfortable. I would highly recommend it to anyone, but especially friends and family.

Every dish was delicious. I really liked its ambience which shows restaurant's history. The lady who was serving was also very kind...we really enjoyed dining here.

The best Polish food aside from my Mother in Laws Polish cooking. Very friendly and you get alot of food for your money. Love the service too. Highly recommend.

most amazing little polish restaurant in greenpoint - best pierogis i've ever had!! you can tell it's got a long history too

Best Polish restaurant in all of New York. When I visit from New Jersey, I eat here every time. The blueberry pierogi and vegetarian mushroom stuffed cabbage are to die for! Owners are also super friendly. Love this restaurant! Also, absolutely nothing wrong with this establishment being cash only. Good for them sticking to what works for them. Credit card companies are complete scams anyways!

I love polish food so much and this place makes me smile. Everything was excellent and affordable - including beer and wine. They also have a beautiful outdoor setup if you wanna do that. Definitely stop by and give this place a try as it is well worth your time and money!

Food is delicious we ordered Boiled cabbage and mushroom Pierogies , with a cup or of Borscht! My date ordered Hungarian pancakes with beef goulash! Large portions of food Thank you!

95 degrees outside and 77 degrees inside. Interior is old school from the 80s. I ordered the pig hock which was cold and old in my opinion. I sent it back and they reheated it which was ok. Blue berry Piegogi were really good. Home made for sure.

The four of us made it to Christina's after a speed workout at the McCarren Park Track. We ordered one platter and three entrees (Beef steak, veal cutlet, and meatballs with mushroom sauce), which was perfect portion (especially since we were very hungry). Of all entrees, my favorite was veal cutlet, to my surprise. I liked that entrees come with two sides each. Veggies are mostly cabbage and they go great with meaty dishes. Side of beets was seasoned to perfection as well. I'm taking off a star for the forced 20% gratuity - server told us it's 10% tip when she handed us the check, though. Strange. Each dish costs around $11-14 with generous amount. Thanks to our Polish friend who recommended Christina's!

I ordered chicken soup, to go for my lunch. First, they served it without spoon. But most scary when I found extra protein in my soup - a fly. Poor thing passed away and found its rest between carrots and chicken. Stay away from dirty kitchen.

The owner is so lovely and the food is like getting a home cooked meal. Delicious authentic polish dishes.

Great find and the service and food was amazing,BYOB will be back.

First thing's first: it's CASH ONLY. The closest ATM is in the CVS next door, next to the registers. Came here on Saturday afternoon and the space was somewhat empty. There aren't a ton of tables here so even just a few in the space would probably fill it up. My friend and I split a place of potato and cheese pierogis (boiled) and I ordered the omelette. Service took absolutely forever, and we had to ask multiple times before getting anything. In spite of asking a few times, my friend's coffee arrived as we were almost done with our meal, which was frustrating. Food took more than 20 minutes to arrive which didn't particularly bother us since we had no where to be, but if you're in a hurry it's something to consider. My omelette was ok, but again, I had to ask multiple times for the toast that came with it. It's no fun to get your toast (spread with what might have been margarine?) at the end of your meal. The pierogis, their house specialty were just ok too. I don't get the opportunity to eat them often so they were a treat. I think they come with applesauce and you have to ask if you want sour cream (an extra charge).

Stopped in today for a quick bite to eat . I ordered the fried meat pierogi's and grilled kielbasa with sauerkraut. I enjoyed everything ! I am not the subject matter expert on polish food but I will definitely go back. One thing to note it is cash only.

Inedible potato pancakes (gummy and flavorless) with no applesauce. It's Saturday night and the kitchen is out of basic ingredients and the good items on the menu. I'm still waiting on a glass of water. Don't waste your time or money. Complete disappointment. Still hungry afterwards, I went to McDonald's down the street with fast, friendly, positive service and better food.

I love this place. Great home cooked meals. It was simple yet the portions were large. Definitely try this place if you're in the neighborhood. Service was slow and the waitress didn't speak English that well. This place only accepts cash.

There aren't a lot of diners in Greenpoint. There's this one and here's the Triple Decker a few blocks a way. At Christina's you can get basic diner staples like eggs, burgers, basic sandwiches but also Polish food. A huge platter of Polish food will run you like eleven bucks. If you're in Greenpoint and want a fast and cheap meal this is a fine place to chomp. The decor is dark and there's a waterfall. You want a BLT and coffee in a restaurant that has a pay phone in it's entrance way? Of course, that's the most you can ask of life. You can have all that here, at Christina's.

This restaurant disappointed me I have been going there for a few years but I ordered the pickled beets that a got a serious case of food poisoning I ended up in the hospital very disappointed

First time I came here I experienced my first & best stuffed cabbage meal. I usually avoid cabbage, it force releases a lot of odd bodily sounds and poofs. I willingly accept and will sacrifice my name for a good meat filled green goodness. This place is better if enjoyed with friends. They have a variety of dishes for a savory or sweet friend. Just stay clear of my back way and air some time to be friends. No seriously - best

Was in the area last night so popped in here for dinner. The Polish Platter (stuffed cabbage, bigos, kielbasa and pierogis) was on point. As was the mushroom barley soup. All quite tasty and filling. They lose a star as the waitress seemed a bit distant and cold. Slow to bring out the menus (the place was NOT busy), not filling the water glasses to the top, no offer of bread with the soup......

I would rate it lower than one. We were seated and left to wait for Christina to come and take our orders. Christina took orders from others who walked in 20 mins after we were seated and proceeded to tell us, I am taking their orders because I know what they want. We left!

The food was excellent. Went here because Karczma had a 45 minute wait. I can't imagine the Pierogis tasting any better at Karczma or any other spot tbh. Will be back again soon.

Delicious! Tastes just like my grandmothers recipe! I've been coming here since a child. 17 years later and it's just as good! The fried meat pierogis are amazing with apple sauce and sour cream in the side. First time trying their grilled kielbasa with French friend and definitely coming back for more!

My first time eating Polish food so I don't have any experience on how to gauge this... Other than I know what good food taste like. I I like the food here. Good service good people working here. The comfort level is so homey!!! I love the soups so comforting. I will definitely hit it up again and some other places in this awesome Polish neighborhood will come back. Thanks Lauren from Brooklyn who I met on the plane ride here great suggestion and beautiful neighborhood. Oh "cash" only people. Hehehe there's a CVS next door.

Never going back. I ordered the rib eye steak medium rare and it was overcooked. I didn't even get a steak knife. The mashed potatoes were in the style of hospital cafeteria food. The best part of the order was the broccoli. I saw the owners and told them how crappy their food was. I just had to. I went on a Friday night and they only had one waitress who was obviously overwhelmed. I still gave her a good tip. I feed my dog better fare than this.

I admit that I am not an expert in Polish cuisine by any means but I have found the food here pretty solid. I have been here for a few times and have always ordered their polish platter which consists of pierogis (polish dumplings), stuffed cabbage. Kielbasa, hunters stew. It also comes with a beet salad It's a lot of food for only $10ish. And I always leave this place too full. I can't really comment on other dishes but the Their Polish platter is very tasty and I also like the variety. The restaurant itself looks more like a diner. It seems it's been around for some years and it's not a place I'd bring a date to but a decent place to grab a dinner when you are around the area!

Not sure why this place only has 3.5 stars. The food is so much better than Karczma. If you fancy Polish kitsch, go to Karczma. If you want good homemade Polish food, come here. Very low key, reasonably-priced, and nice servers.

Pros: good selection of food. Cons: food flavor, cash only. Here's a place with a broad menu selection of Polish food. However, many of the menu items come with a specific vinegary taste which I'm not a fan of. Like, beet salad should taste sweet and not sour. Knocking off one more star for surprising me with their cash-only policy. I walked out and looked all over the entrance, "cash only"sign was nowhere to be seen.

Delicious and authentic Polish cuisine - this restaurant is an absolute gem and true reflection of the Polish presence still alive and well in Greenpoint. Personally my favorite pierogies in the five boroughs!

I would give it .1 star but this will do. They don't even know what they serve you. I asked which Had cabbage and she said I don't know youll have to cut through and you'll see. Like What if I was allergic? I am expecting so I wanted to avoid meats. This was pathetic. Second their bathroom is the size of a mouses house my tits were in the sink as I sat on the bowl to pee and my leg was burning on pipe it was so tight in there! Annnnnd for potato pancakes and apple sauce and some dumplings were well over 40 bucks what a waste of money! No parking either. Sorry I did not like this one one bit! My husband is too nice and made me tip otherwise I wouldn't have not like they even asked how the food was....smh

Very weak attempt at an american/polish diner. They're not accommodating in any sense and the food is virtually exactly what you could make at home. A piece of grilled chicken ran me $14. They wouldn't put it on a bun because grilled chicken sandwiches are "only available for breakfast." Service was poor.

Fighting to simply be mediocore. Often out of menu items. Bland Polish food or limp breakfast food. Do yourself a favor and eat at home, same quality as this place if not better.

I really loved this restaurant. My mother was visiting from out of town, and we originally had planned to go to Karczma. However, we were not received very politely upon our attempt to enter the restaurant and place ourselves on the waiting list for a table. Because this was the second time I'd had a rude welcoming at Karczma, I decided it was in our best interests to support a business that actually wanted to take our money. The interior of this restaurant is cozy and dim-lit. I have an anxiety about being seated at a table in the middle of just about any restaurant, which happened here, but it was spacious enough not to feel as if we were on top of the table next to us. The atmosphere is casual and the noise level is comfortable. I had an order of potato and cheese pierogies, which I would rank on the favorable end of the pierogies I've had from various Polish restaurants. The same goes for their kielbasa and mashed potatoes. Oh, and their prices are very reasonable. Their wine, although limited in selection, is tasteful. Unless you're extremely picky about your whites, you probably won't have any complaints about what they have to offer. The only reason I took a star away is because the service was extremely, extremely slow. For some reason, it's something I've come to expect as typical of a Polish restaurant, but I did become a little impatient here. However, they were busy, and I got over it, and the waitress was also very nice to us, so it's not a dealbreaker. I would come here again!

This is the worse experience ever. I went there with my family last Thursday night the waitress was horrible she didn't understand English she was rude. Food was ok but service...speechless.

The food was excellent. The salmon was cooked just right loved it, it was served with vegetables and mushrooms. The Tiramisu was very well done too. Very cozy and beautiful restaurant to eat with the family or friends. Customer service was excellent. I didn't have a waiter on top of my table handing me the bill as in other places that have a rush to serve and hand the bill. I had enough time to eat and relax while chatting with my family. Very laid back, relax atmosphere. The beets were really good also. The Salmon sandwich was very tasty as well.

Wina, wina, wina wina dajcie! I came in here on Thanksgiving with a friend, mostly because it was the only place around us that was open. It seems a bit divey, but the atmosphere is pleasantly Eastern European, and they even serve Polish beer, which I've been having a hard time finding in the states. My friend got the pierogis, while I got the Polish Platter with pierogis, bigos, stuffed cabbage, and kielbasa. It was almost as good as my mother's cooking. I'd definitely come again if I were in the area!

We ate lunch there yesterday and the service was much worse than during our previous visits, therefore I'm downgrading my rating from five to four stars. We arrived at 1:15 p.m. and only about 3/4 of the tables were occupied - and besides which, the restaurant wasn't short-staffed. We finally had to waylay one of the servers in order to place our order and then it took eons to get our food. No one ever checked back with us during our meal, plus we had to finally ask for the check. Unlike our previous experiences, there was no warmth whatsoever from the servers (all of whom we recognized, meaning they *are* capable of being friendly). The food was still really good, so we'll undoubtedly return.

Oof. What a terrible dining experience! Arrived at 8:30 on a Saturday night, placed an order, and didn't get our food until nearly 9:45! While we were still eating, we got a bill and a "no rush, but also we are closing at 10..." The waitresses seemed like they're working as hard as they could and kept apologizing so I don't think they are the problem. It's probably poor management and prepping in the kitchen! When the food actually came out, the potato and cheese pierogis were tasty but the beef goulash and potato pancakes were pretty tasteless and over cooked. Definitely would no recommend!

I've been coming to this place for a couple of years now the prices went up very slightly. Cash only. I love Polish food. I came in here on Sunday night I used to get an excellent service this time I received poor service from a waitress. Sad.

Literally stumbled upon this place last weekend and had a hearty meal with a good friend. It was a chilly evening and we both warmed up with this delicious Polish fare. He had the borscht to start and an entree of goulash with potato dumplings and a side of red cabbage. I had the Hungarian pancake with a side of cucumber salad. (A large crispy potato pancake folded and filled with chicken goulash) WOW! Service is attentive but not overwhelming. The atmosphere is relaxed, like a cross between a home-style pub and a diner. And the prices are inexpensive. All of the above plus a beer and a soda totaled $35. I'll be back to try more of the specialties.
