We stopped here yesterday for lunch and so very happy my husband chose this place. It’s like visiting your favorite mom’s, grandmom’s or aunt’s for a visit. The food is home made and delicious! We tried a few platters which were delicious and the borscht was absolutely amazing! All of the food was delicious! We had pierogis, we had the kielbasa, the beet salad, the ground beef patties, the pork cutlet and everything was so very good. Thank you! I really enjoyed my food.

I was in town--I love Philly! Go EAGLES!--and it would be a crime not to visit The Dinner House and Czerw's Polish Kielbasa nearby. I sat with a direct line of sight into the kitchen and felt that I was sitting in my mother's kitchen. As she walked over bringing my meal, my heart swelled with such appreciation to be fed by this wonderful woman. It is such a wonderful dining experience. I could not help from also feeling saddened knowing these establishments are disappearing. I beseech anyone who is in Port Richmond and desires authentic Polish offerings to visit these two places. For a brief moment in time . . . I was once again eating at Moms table. I love you, Anya.

Walk through the doors and you immediately feel like you stepped into Poland. The food was great, I highly recommend the borsch soup, pierogis, Polish sausage and the stuffed cabbage was our favorite! This is a home cooking delicious place! Don’t expect fancy or upscale, just expect good food made by a great host. Relax and enjoy.

Had dinner with siblings. The food was very good and authentic. Had the perogies and potato pancakes as appetizers, very filling. Place is small, but that is what adds to the charm. It is like eating at home,

I was so excited to know I found some where that makes fresh Split pea soup. And delicious potato pancakes. A wonderful lunch. What more can you ask for. Did I mention the portions are a good size as well. And pricing was just a nice.

Was in the mood for pierogis after the St. Nicholas Pierogi Festival sold out so my husband & I decided to try out the Dinner House, and boy howdy! This place is amazing! We got the barley soup (kropnik), borscht, potato pancakes, meat pierogis, mushrooms pierogis, and the strawberry pierogis. A total of 8 plates were brought to the table and initially we didn't think we could finish them all, but we did it. Not only will we be back, but we're gonna a tell all our friends too. I highly recommend stopping by if you get a hankering or a craving for traditional Polish food.

Cute place with all the favorites. Cash only. Don't expect them to have change. Note - their borscht says Ukrainian but it does not taste like it, too much vinegar.

Not sure if this place was having an off day or they had The B Team Babcias in the kitchen, but the food was cold and bland. The pickle soup was clearly microwaved, boiling hot around the edges and downright cold in the middle. The potatoes served with the gołupki were ice cold. The gołupki themselves were just aight. The pierogi was also barely warm and kinda bland. The goulash was completely unsalted and also cold. The gnocchi were grey (grey!) and, you guessed it, cold. I know Polish food isn't the pinnacle of intense flavor to begin with, but this was egregious.

Dill pickle soup! Amazing flavor and completely unique. The stuffed cabbage is fall-apart tender, full of flavor and is the perfect comfort food.

My dining experience at Dinner House was akin to stepping into a warm home away from home, lovingly tended by Polish grandmothers. The star of my meal was the stuffed cabbage, a dish that danced delightfully on my palate. Served as two generous pieces, they were like treasure chests, brimming not with jewels, but with a hearty, meaty filling that with a subtle symphony of flavors. The cabbage was not the overbearing hero of the dish, but a humble vessel, carrying the rich, meaty cargo. Adding a dash of magic to the place was our server, who, doubled as the cook. Her warmth radiated throughout the restaurant, making us feel like cherished guests rather than mere customers. The restaurant, clean and well-maintained, was a testament to their dedication to creating a comfortable spane. The pricing aligned with the quality of the food and the overall experience. They blend a homely ambiance with authentic Polish cuisine. It's a hidden gem, waiting to be discovered by those seeking a cozy corner for a memorable meal.

You're visiting a relative from the old country who wants to cook for you, and she cooks very well. Sit down, enjoy a glass of beer or wine that you brought with you while your meal is prepared fresh. Yes, there's lots of cabbage and beets, not a ton of fresh vegetables. The sauerkraut salad is amazing, the coleslaw and beet salads are also excellent. The pierogies are beautiful stuffed pillows of meat, potato, or cabbage, delicious. The huge potato pancake filled with tender Hungarian goulash is a must, a little bit of sour cream on top, just right. And don't miss the daily specials, I have to come back for those. Extremely reasonable prices, three of us ate well for under $60 before tip. Where can you do that these days? My only minor complaint: the place is hot, the air conditioning just couldn't keep up, and we were the only table in the place.

Went here for lunch today with my son and we absolutely loved the food. It is a tiny place. There was only one woman most likely the owner working all three tables and cooking all the food. I took one star off just because service was lacking but she was doing it all by herself. We weren't given napkins, or silverware, my son got up and got them himself. The food did take awhile to come out but was so good once it arrived. I definitely want to go back to try the stuffed cabbage and borscht. The lemonade pictured was a little weird.

Old world tiny restaurant & old world charm....don't let the size keep you from some of the best Polish food I've experienced. Not fancy but our waitress (& cook) couldn't have been more accommodating to two non-Polish customers. The menu isn't long but we couldn't have found more authentic tastes without a very long plane ride to Poland.

want a super authentic hole in the wall place? Come here. Four tables. Grandmas cooking in the kitchen and serving your food: don't expect bougie-- expect to feel welcomed and eat a homemade meal made with love and pride. Pickle soup, stuffed cabbage, kielbasa, potatoes pancake are a must!!

Tony L.

Yelp
Shared a delicious lunch at Dinner House today. We thoroughly enjoyed the kielbasa, pierogies, potato lakes, and beet salad. The restaurant is quaint and service was excellent. We were served a lot of food for a reasonable price. The fare is traditionally Polish and reminded me of the meals I ate growing up in a Polish household. Very highly recommended!

If you enjoy Polish food, add this spot to your list. Menu is robust for such a small restaurant. Food is homemade. I highly recommend the meat patties and stuffed cabbage. Don't miss this one folks!

Fresh, authentic, and delicious! I love this neighborhood restaurant. I've never dined in, but I order from here often via delivery service or to carry out. Everything is always still hot and fresh. I recommend the potato pancakes and the pickle soup, though everything that I've ever tried is great!

Dan D.

Yelp
Go here!!! Some incredible Polish, Ukrainian, and Eastern European traditional dishes here! I highly recommend the stuffed cabbage and the borscht soup as top favorites but you can go wrong with polish sausage and sour krout. I went for my birthday and it's a little hole in the wall spot that should be on Diners, Dives and Drive-ins one day! Not fancy inside but more like a quick stop to enjoy some incredible food. The woman who makes it also serves it and waits on you. 100% can't wait to go again!

I was in this neighborhood hoping to have some easy access to goulash and gołabki, and I was lucky to find this place. Small store front but the interior is pretty cozy. Young waitress makes me think its a family run business, plus peeking back into the kitchen, you can see everything being made and put together with love! Overall, everything was well balanced in flavor, and of course add salt if you want, that's why they have salt and pepper on the table. Homemade gnocci with the goulash was a great texture with the beef, and the mashed potatoes and pork stuffed cabbage rolls and sauce went perfectly together. I really hope to try more eastern european food in the area-- some cuisines are meant to inundate you with flavor and spice, and some are meant to be classic, simple delights. So far, these Polish delights have me smiling!

Can strongly recommend. Was with 8 person party. I had pickle soup and stuffed cabbage. Both were excellent, but especially the pickle soup, which was better than the hot borscht. I saw pictures of borscht that looked "nicer" elsewhere, but maybe it was the cold beet soup (with mushroom dumplings in it). I have also heard good things about the rye soup, tripe soup, and chicken noodle. I can also highly recommend the mushroom pierogis, which are shown here (had without sauerkraut; they also have a version with sauerkraut). Stuffed cabbage had really nice texture and was not too cabbage tasting, which is good. Had some meat and sauce on it, with really nicely textured potatoes on the side. Others in the party had pork chop, which is very well priced and was good, but not as good as how others have reviewed it, and it was not among my favorite dishes. Potato pancakes were also really good, especially the more well done ones (served with sour cream). I highly recommend and want to try more of the menu in the future.

Yelp
I feel like 'solid' is the easiest way to describe The Dinner House. The food was pretty good (my borscht was a bit meh...the meat pierogies just okay, and my cousin was brought spinach pierogies instead of mushroom...but the potato & cheese pierogies were solid as was the beet salad) and the service was very much more like a takeout joint instead of a sit-down place, as it seemed tap water wasn't even a drinking option and only beverages from a fridge were available. It was in the perfect location for us that afternoon, and a nice option to get pierogies and sit down rather than from a shop where we'd need to take them home to cook them ourselves.

I've only recently discovered this place about a month ago, thanks to my best friend. Been here a few times since and it's now my favorite. It's a very cute little place and it's just like eating at grandma's house! The best pierogi I've had in recent years (especially the meat pierogi) and their cutlets are perfect. The stuffed cabbage is another favorite. I am not a pork chop person but I even enjoy them here! We went went last night for my birthday dinner and going back again tonight to wrap up my bday weekend right :)

I came here with my mom over the summer for lunch. As far as I could see there was just one woman taking the orders and cooking. If you don't speak Polish you can definitely get by here. So please don't let that stop you! Now for the food- sooo delicious! I think everything is made to order so it took a little while, but definitely worth it. We ordered potato pancakes, pierogi and dumplings (like gnocchi) with a pork tomato sauce. They had no dessert that day. Everything was cooked just right. Very authentic meal (I'm 100% Polish). I've also ordered takeout and everything was great with that order too. When I went to pick it up, I saw they had a couple of desserts so I ordered a piece of cherry cheesecake- very yummy. The prices are pretty good because the portions are on the larger side. I just wish the inside was a little nicer. That's okay, it's all about the food here.

Unfortunately although I like to support small mom/pop operations like this it missed the mark... It's a simple tiny place... First time I went in looking for lunch lady just stayed in the kitchen -I guess she was prepping for lunch but she never appeared even after another customer showed up ... After trying your see if anyone else had lunch I returned and she was selling something to customer who came after me... Older lady -nice enough ...was cooking , serving and working cash register ... she look tired... Finally she advised me I could sit ... Had a variety of pierogi and red borscht ... Borscht extra sweet -too sweet - not very hot but tasty enough ... I never had with beans .. but maybe not cooked that day or the day prior ..so not super fresh Pierogis very underwhelming - had meat , potato cheese, mushroom no flavor in all Did not really taste homemade... It's cheap ... Maybe I went on an off day...

Carolina S.

Stopped by for a quick lunch and fell in love with this cute authentic spot! The restaurant itself is small but clean and very welcoming. The waitress/owner was very sweet! The food was absolutely amazing!! Everything tasted so fresh and homemade! We started off with the chicken soup, (served piping hot- just how we love it). Next, we and the cheese perogis with a side of sour cream (pillows of deliciousness that melt in your mouth). For our main course we ordered the stuffed cabbage and gnocci goulash. Perfection.

In my fair 'hood of Port Richmond, there are certainly many options when it comes to polish food. However, methinks the Dinner House ranks up there as the best around! I've been there a few times, so I have sampled quite a bit. Potato pancakes here are a must. The pierogies are ok but I wish they were a bit more well done. Stuffed cabbage is the best, breaded pork chop is great, and the bigos is very tasty and filling. Portions are pretty large and the prices are very reasonable. The only issue as others have noticed is the service. The lady is lovely, but if she's going to be cooking maybe she should hire someone else to take orders, answer the phone, etc. Definitely check this place out if you are hungry and not in a rush!

Grew up in Port Richmond so have had my share of Polish food. Thought the breaded pork chop was best thing we sampled. I'm not a chop fan normally but this was very thin and tender and the breading was very good. My wife liked the kielbasi best. I thought it was real good but I'm spoiled by Swiacki's which I think is best in city. The meat pierogies were real good too - thin, light dough and tender, finely ground meat. Deducted points since they were only boiled, not browned. Cole slaw and beets were good sides but potatoes were disappointing. Not creamy and kinda bland. Amazing part was the whole dinner cost $25 tax included. Portions were big enough to bring home leftovers. Service was a bit haphazard since one of the ladies works the kitchen and also serves up front. Will definitely return for the pork chop and to sample more items on menu.

You have many choices for Polish cuisine if you are in Port Richmond. But it's probably not the best idea to start knocking on the doorposts of random residences on Thompson Ave. I have a better way. Let me help you. The best Polish restaurant in Port Richmond is The Dinner House. Inside it's clean and cozy with little touches from Poland that they probably don't even notice (e.g., the ceramic ware). There's a nice weekday lunch special for like $7. What to order? I would strongly recommend the Chlodni Litewski (a cold borscht served with a hard-boiled egg) and the Golobki (stuffed cabbage filled w/meat). I ordered the pierogi once--mine were filled with meat--and they were tasty but not out-of-the-ordinary enough to justify that I would order them again. This place isn't necessarily for the vegetarians: MittelEuropean cuisine stems from a tradition of eagle-eyed hunters and hardy farmers, not the picky Portlandians of our sad modern age

After reading the wonderful review in the Inquirer this past weekend we had a hankering for good Polish food. Stopped in today the restaurant is just like the article true to fashion. Our hostess/ owner was was very cordial and friendly. They have a large menu of most of the Best Polish items. Was hard to choose ended up up a large wonderful bowl of soup cream of mushroom others had the chicken and another had the pickle soup. Delivered a nice large bowl of hot soup to start was wonderful. Next was an Oder of the potato pancakes w sour cream and plate of porgies cheese for the table both were great just like our Polish neighbors two nuns used to make for us. Delicious .main course was of klomkis cabbage w potatoes They were also so good Florida bashed over the dinner w coffee and a wonderful apple cake We look forward to returning again

Really nice small local polish restaurant with home made food. Quant in the right way. Food preparation was total pro.

Please come and try this home style cooked polish food! Me and my husband like polish food, so one Sunday we came to try out! Home made pirogies are tasty, try with sauerkraut and mushrooms! The polish kalbasa platter is huge, you can easily share that between two people! Also give a try to home made raspberry drink, kompote. I loved it! If you have cravings for a comfort home made Western European food, please come here. The place is small and cute!

After being told that another favorite restaurant was closed for a private party, we decided to try the Dinner House for the first time. Food was made to order so it took a few minutes longer, but we'll worth the wait. The food was outstanding. I was in Poland a few months ago and eating at the Dinner House took me right back there. The pierogie were excellent, the żurek was to die for and the borscht was as tasty as I ever had. The French fries were made in house and the mashed potatoes came with a very tasty mushroom gravy. I am so glad that the other restaurant was closed as this has become my go to for homemade Polish food.

Dinner House opened up about two years ago; I remember visiting that location on E Allegheny Ave when it was a bakery.  On my recent visit the five table restaurant was being operated by two Polish grandma types, who both waited on us and were cooking the food in the back.  Soups here are a measly $3. We tried the pickle soup and zurek, a sour rye soup. Similar in color, the pickle and dill flavor of the former vs the smokey pork flavor of the latter were quite different and I liked slurping a spoonful of one and then the other. I contemplated mixing the bowls but did not want to insult anyone's granny.  ​​ Dinner House offers a variety of pierogies but it was the Polish dumplings, "pyzy" that I wanted to try since I had never come across them before. The dough is made with potato and potato flour, giving  a gnocchi like soft texture. They came stuffed with tender beef and topped with onion. I took a few home and pan fried them, preferring the crispy texture.  One of the larger dishes available is Hungarian potato pancake stuffed with goulash. This giant shredded potato pancake gets soggy fast, so eat up. Inside, find tender pieces of meat in a brown gravy. This is not something you want to tackle alone; bring a friend.  On the side we sipped cherry juice and marveled at the dishes being eaten at the tables next to us- stuffed cabbage, pierogies, a crepe/blintz like dessert- will have to wait for the next trip.  It looks like Dinner House is on Uber Eats if you can't make the trip to Port Richmond. But I would suggest forgoing the potato pancakes or anything else fried to avoid a soggy sad plate. Soups, pierogies, pyzy, and stuffed cabbage should all travel well.  Bonus: Other restaurants in the area worth trying are Syrenka, M & T, and New Wave Cafe.  For a drink, try Donna's Bar.  To make a fully complete trip, you should really add in some food shopping. Go to Swiacki Meats or Czerw's for homemade kielbasa and Krakus Market for mustards and frozen pierogies; they also have a solid cafe attached. Last tip- in warmer months, bring your food to go for a picnic at nearby Graffiti Pier.

Oh my gosh, this is so far my absolute favorite place in Philly and I love the hostess/owner. We found this neat little polish restaurant after a thrilling day of axe throwing and were surprised by its humble appearance, as we were about to embark some serious, home-cooked polish masterpieces. I must first admit that my best friends growing up were Polish and the food I remember as a child by raiding their houses were replicated to the same nostalgia greatness here at the Dinner House. Here are my recommendations: all the perogies, get the borscht and tomato soup, the chicken dish, the fried fish (holly bejesus was it tender and very gently fried), the unique chocolate dessert (it's like bread pudding meets cake and let petit ecolier) and the stuffed cabbages. The owner was this super lovely Polish lady that did all of the cooking and cleaning and by the end of the meal, we were pretty much bumping shoulders and she'd give me a wink when I was requesting other specialty items and telling me straight up when we've ordered too much food. Of all of the food, I was not a big fan of the pork shops in mushroom sauce (forgot the name), as the meat as a little tough and bland, but the pork shoulder was quite delicious. The sour cabbage is a must-try and oh yeah, you'll be served like family, which is the best way of dining. My only suggestion is that there were a few flies buzzing around, which I think is a consequence of people leaving the door open on a hot summer day, but it did make me frown from time to time. But hey, who can blame these bugs from getting in on the action? Long story short, definitely come here to try out the food and I strongly recommend getting to know the chef/owner and just try out all the things you'd never know you were missing! Food: 5 stars Price: 5 stars Ambiance: 2 stars Service: 3 stars

Wonderful! It's a cute little place with GREAT food! You have to go here! The Kielbasa sandwich was the best I have ever had. We got the hero to split and I loved it so much, I haven't stopped thinking about it since. We also ordered pierogis (6 pieces) - 1/2 potato and sauerkraut and 1/2 cheddar cheese. Delicious!! Last, we split the Hungarian Style Potato Pancake with Goulash. It's huge!! My dining partner liked the Potato Pancake and I preferred the Goulash. Neither of us liked eating both together. It was perfect for an early dinner. Plus it's not pricey. Shout out to the hostess/waitress, Patricia- she was so nice and answered all our questions. Really made us feel welcome. Anytime, I'm nearby, I'm stopping in for a bite.

Six or eight tables and two cooks/waitress. I got to try Polish cucumber (pickle) soup for the first time. Mushroom and cheese toast was a little short on Mushrooms but on a delicious baguette. Also tried sauerkraut and mushroom pierogies and blueberry pirogies for the first time. Yummy potato pancakes made with grated not shredded potatoes. Very cute, local hole in the wall place.

I absolutely love this mom and pop kitchen (which is actually just a mom (or grandmom maybe?). Authentic home polish cooking that's fresh, flavorful and wholesome. It's also wonderfully affordable. Im in love with the breaded pogrkchop , like schnitzel but better than Ive had anywhere, and the perogies are heavenly (mushroom especially good).

This is like going to your grandmas house for a delicious dinner. Relax and enjoy your time. It may take some time for the polish nana/ nona to come out tothe front but say hello and grab a soda from the cooler and sit down. Cant go wrong with anything on the menu.

Absolutely delicious - fluffiest and light Cheddar and Onion Pierogies. Stuffed cabbage just like my Grandma used to make. Parking can be tough but worth every bit of extra care to dine here!

Great comfort food like baba made! If you're in the mood for different types of Pierogies they have them. The pickle soup and borscht both excellent and the stuffed cabbage good but perhaps a little too salty

Last Sunday, I ventured out to Port Richmond section of Philadelphia to eat Polish food. This is a wonderful restaurant, very small, but service was excellent, and so is the foods. I ordered Hunter Stew and Meat Perogies to eat there. The stew hunter is a basically sauer kraut and kielbasa, it's so good and flavorful. I love sauer kraut so this dish is perfect for my taste. The steam meat perogies was so good, and you can tell it was hand made there. I got stuffed cabbage, pork knuckles to eat for dinner with the family. We all agreed the meat within the stuffed cabbage was flavorful. The mashed potatoes is fresh with chunk in it, definitely from real potatoes . I totally love the pork knuckles, meat fallen off to perfection, even my 22 months old love it. I had the pickle soup today and it still good after a day, perfect in this weather. The price is very reasonable too, and this is probably my first time having authentic Polish food. I

My husband and I stopped in with the kids for dinner yesterday. Everything was delicious. The owner was also the waitress, busboy, cashier, and chef so arrive patient. Well worth the wait.

In the heart of the traditional Polish neighborhood of Philadelphia, Dinner House is a Polish restaurant that stands out. Like all its 'Little Krakow' neighbors, you will hear mostly Polish spoken here but then that lets you know the food is genuine. And it is! Grandma is the hostess, waitress, and assistant cook - one busy woman - and she handles it all with a smile. There is much to choose from in this small eatery. Always eager to try something different, I began with the Ogorkowa (pickle soup). Great choice - it was delicious. For my main course I decided to go with the Polish version of the classic Austrian Wiener Schnitzel called Kotlet Schabowy. A little bit heavier than the original Viennese dish it was nevertheless tasty. A side of buraczki (red beets) and ziemniaki (mashed potatos) accompanied the dish. The cost of all this was 12 dollars. Eating at Dinner House will be tasty and filling and not break the bank. No wonder it stands out as a destination restaurant in Port Richmond!

The most authentic and delicious polish food ever! I grew up eating polish food daily and the food here is just like my Babcias! Great prices and so fresh. A must try!

Linda S.

Yelp
This was just an amazing and delicious meal. The zurek was perfect for a chilly night. This is a sour white borscht soup, made with rye starter, smoked kielbasa, egg slices and potatoe. This is a meal in itself, especially if paired with a slice of rye bread. The golampki (stuffed cabbage) were phenomenal: not at all heavy, rice and meat and cabbage tender, all of seasoned just right with a sweet tomatoe sauce. Very fresh and fragrant. The beet salad and mashed potatoes also yummy. Like a home cooked meal at Babcia's or Cioca's.

Chunxi L.

Yelp
Very sweet mom and pop restaurants. We were staying in Airbnb in the neighborhood and heard people recommended this place. We came in the night before we were flying out of Philadelphia. We were at restaurant at 7, order was taken at 730 and food didn't start until 8.... I'm okay with slow service if just they're cooking in order, but they just keep taking to go orders and let us wait there.... four star because my husband likes this place.

Lisa B.

Yelp
If you have never had Polish food I encourage you to come here!! The mushroom soup, the Zurek soup, the Goulash, the polish sausage and the chicken tender (schnitzel) were all really really flavorful and I am American! This place was delicious and very friendly! All homemade!! My husband myself and my 2 boys ate a delicious meal here! My kids are picky! Then we finished off with her homemade cheesecake and tiramisu! Wow not too sweet and really tasty!

Amanda W.

Yelp
Very Awesome place! It is a small restaurant but the food is great. We started with the pickle soup which was something I have never had and it was great with carrots shredded pickes a pickle flavor. The cheese and potatoes pierogies were out of this world! Sauerkraut and mushroom pierogies great too. We wanted to try the meals and had the potato pancake with goulash and stuffed cabbage. Most interesting was the salad side of fried cabbage very sweet and tasty. This was way too much food for two people and will be eating out leftovers for at least two meals. We will be back for more food.

Place is awesome. Lived in Poland 5 years ago and this food brings me back. Highly recommend if you are craving classic polish food.

Just ate some AUTHENTIC stuffed cabbage and mushroom/sauerkraut pierogies: I N C R E D I B L E Super small place, run by one woman, so service is very hands-off but did I mention that the food was outstanding, cause it really really was! Cheap prices, menus in both English and polish; Its everything you could want from a Port Richmond hole in the wall. One side of my cabbage was still a little cool but the flavors are well worth less than perfect temperature situation.

Literally the best polish food ever. I went to a fancy place in NY and this blows it out the water. Taste like my in laws who are from Poland.

I grew up in a Polish neighborhood, and went to a Polish school and church. This restaurant was amazing! Everyone had soup- I had sour rye soup, daughter had pickle soup, and her partner had borscht. All perfect! My hubby had the duck with apples- lovely gravy, mashed potatoes and sautéed cabbage. We also had a Hungarian potato pancake with goulash, mushroom pierogi, and lovely blueberry pierogi for dessert!

Amazing little mom and pop polish restaurant. Their perogies come in various flavors and they are all delicious. The restaurant is small with only few tables and every time we've visited, they were filled. The breaded pork chop was so flavorful!

Just finished a great meal at The Dinner House. Everything from my Sour Rye Soup to the Pierogis to the Platzki to the homemade Cherry Cheesecake was delish. Everything made to order fresh. Very reasonably priced. A great addition to Port Richmond. Can't wait to try something else on the menu. Oh and it's a BYOB. Even better! P.S. Older Polish woman seemed to be the host, server, cook, and everything else. She was a pure delight!
