Karczma Polska

Simply incredible food! The potato cake with goulash sauce was simply fantastic, in fact it was so good that I came back the next day to eat it again. The pierogi are also good and the prices are very fair. The staff are very friendly and speak both English and German. You can sit outside and inside, the tables are positioned a bit oddly, but not annoyingly so. On my second visit I unfortunately had to wait more than 30 minutes to be able to pay, even when I raised my hand the waiters ignored me, which was very unpleasant. On my first visit, everything was perfect. Anyone who is in Szczecin should definitely stop by here for a meal.

A must-visit you simply can’t miss! Delicious local food, excellent service, and a cozy atmosphere. Definitely a place to come back to! The videos and photos speak for themselves.

The food is delicious here. The staffs are also very friendly. If you like to try the Polnisch food, this restaurant is highly recommended

I stumbled upon this Polish restaurant during my trip to Szczecin, and it was amazing! The food was excellent, and the service was fantastic—the staff were attentive and spoke great English, which made things much easier for me as a tourist. The atmosphere was wonderful, and I’d definitely return. Had an amazing experience—thank you!

The restaurant is quite big, and has nice interior and outdoor seating areas. I tried their Zurek soup in bread, as well as the mixed Pierogi, both dishes were ok, nothing outstanding. I came with two friends and we were sharing the Pierogi, so it would have been nice to know which of them had which filling. We asked the waiter, but he just shook his head and told us he had no idea. This brings me to the negative part of the review, which is about their service. First off, it took a really long time to get our food. All of the waiters were running around, basically ignoring us, until I finally asked one to take our order, to which he reacted as if “oh yes, we forgot about you!”. All of the dishes took forever, which I really didn’t understand, since the restaurant was half empty and the dishes we ordered generally don’t take long to prepare at all. Finally, the waiter seemed frustrated, and rolled his eyes the few times I had asked him for additional drinks, dipping sauces for the Pierogi and the bill. Actually, both the hostess who showed us to our seats and the waiter seemed stressed and in a hurry the whole time, which isn’t so nice for the customers. If you cannot handle the pressures of serving people food and being hospitable while doing it, you probably should not work as a waiter. I’d give the food 3.5 stars and 1 for the service. Despite the nice interior decorations, I didn’t feel welcomed and, hence, will not return.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at this incredible restaurant, and I can confidently say it was one of the best culinary experiences I’ve had in a long time. From the moment we walked in, we were warmly welcomed by the staff, who immediately made us feel comfortable and at home. The atmosphere of the place is charming and inviting, creating the perfect setting for a relaxed and enjoyable meal. One of the things that stood out the most was how attentive and professional the staff was throughout the evening. They paid close attention to every detail, ensuring that we were well taken care of without being intrusive. Their genuine friendliness and efficiency truly enhanced our experience, making us feel valued as guests. Now let’s talk about the food—simply outstanding! The highlight of our meal was undoubtedly the goulash, which was absolutely exquisite. It was rich, flavorful, and perfectly cooked, with tender meat that melted in our mouths. You could tell that a lot of care and expertise went into preparing it, and it was served with accompaniments that complemented it beautifully. Every bite was a delight, and it’s safe to say that it was one of the best goulash dishes we’ve ever had. Another aspect we truly appreciated is that this is not a typical tourist spot. Instead, it’s frequented by locals, which gives it an authentic and genuine vibe. It’s the kind of place where you feel like you’re getting a real taste of the region’s cuisine and culture, without any of the pretentiousness or inflated prices often found in more touristy areas. We left the restaurant completely satisfied, already talking about how much we’re looking forward to coming back. It’s rare to find a place that checks all the boxes—delicious food, exceptional service, and a cozy, authentic atmosphere—but this restaurant does exactly that. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable dining experience. We’ll definitely be returning on our next trip!

One of the best places in szczecin. Food here never let me down. Been here several times over the past 10 years and it's always amazing. Staff has always been perfect and helpful. Couldn't ask for better.

The restaurant has a really interior that makes you feel like you're in a theme park restaurant. The Menu is huge and has lots of polish dishes included. The Food is really great too. I can recommend the tartare and the pierogi.

The food was really good; however, the service was really bad. When we finally got seated, we were not tended to for about a good 30 mins; no menus or anything. The waiter looked at us, but did not bother to ask if we were helped or wanted anything to drink. Finally, a lady came to wait on us. May not have been her fault, but she seemed a bit overwhelmed; hence the bit of attitude. Overall, I may give it another go, but not for certain.

Ooh, finally an opportunity to try some of that real Polish food! That was what I got here, but I had to wait too long for it. But first of all, this is not the restaurant of the same name in Świnoujście, which is several miles north of here and half a mile east of the border with Germany. Nor is it the one in Kliniska Wielkie, which is east of Szczecin. This restaurant that I'm reviewing is in Szczecin, and it is one of the locations on the periphery of the circle known as plac Lotników. Just want to be sure that this place is not confused with somewhere else. The menu is written in three languages: Polish, English, and German. I got a waiter who spoke English just fine. I ordered a pstrąg pieczony z duszonymi warzywami (whatever that means) for 36 złotys. The English description says "baked trout with stewed vegetables, boiled potatoes." Man, Polish is such a weird-looking language next to English. Anyway, the wait for this was way too long. It took nearly forty minutes for the entrées to arrive. Even half of that would have been pushing it back in the United States. The appetizers took less than ten minutes, but forty minutes for the entrées? That's almost inexcusable. That's really a shame too, because had they brought them out in a more timely manner, this restaurant would have easily gotten a five-star rating from me. The food here really is that good. My baked trout really was one whole, gutted trout. I don't know how they did it, but apparently they cut open the midsection of this fish and stuffed it with vegetables and some other good stuff. There was plenty of food provided by the trout alone, although removing the bones from my mouth using my fingers was a bit embarrassing in polite company. The boiled potatoes on the side of the dish were also delicious. I got a weird look from another customer as I tried to take a picture of the pig statues next to the bathroom. I thought the idea of having an artificial pigsty in a restaurant was unusual where I'm from, so I had to record the moment. Also, that price of 36 złotys somehow turned into 43 złotys, but the waiter never gave me a receipt to prove it. I don't know what he charged me for, or whether gratuity was included in the bill, but the price is still well under what restaurants in the United States would have asked for. Shame about that long wait time, though.

If you like a hardy meal great flavor try the wild boar. Wow it was smashingly great The potatoe dumplings were very smooth and tasty to eat. The server spoke fluent English and wad kind. The plate had very nice proportions. I finished it off with: Raspberry ice cream and a latte. I would eat here often, very clean and welcoming with an old world cottage kitchen feel. Well done if I do say so. I like home cooked real table food.

Very delicious food. :) Great drinks including nalewka :) The waitress was polite but seemed to be inexperienced though. :(

Beautiful polish restaurant with a variety of polish and German selections. Trout and salmon were very good as well as the beef.

very cozy restaurant in a good location. the service was friendly and in every language. the food was amazing. the prices a bit higher fot stettin but the portions were big. totally worth it :)
