Detroit, MI
So upon a recommendation from a coworker, and from Ann Marie’s old boss, we proceeded to Pole Town where we ate at the Polish Village.
It looked like an old house. Hmmm. You open the old wood door turn left and go down some steps and the restaurant is in the basement.
It’s very European like, seating about 60 people with large wooden bar to the right. Wooden beams going left to right on top of the ceiling. It was fairly noisy with people having a good time and a good time we had as well. I typically order an IPA from a local brewery when we are in a new town and when I asked the waitress that she says, all we have is Polish beer, it’s all imported. Oh boy. Ok, give me the one that you like the most and she did and it was good.
We then ordered potato pancakes for an appetizer. We both figured it would be some small potatoes pancakes, nope, they were huge. Ann Marie had sour cream with hers and I had the applesauce. They were great.
Next we had soup. We both decided to try the Dill Pickle Soup. Yeah I know it sounds awful but was extremely good. It was like a potato soup with a dill pickle twist. Some thing kept nagging at Ann Marie about it and when she looked above the kitchen there it was. Guy Fieri’s face. This place had been in Diners, Drive In’s and Dives. One more restaurant to check off the bucket list.
I had Polish meatballs and noodles which is similar to Swedish meatballs in a brown gravy and it was terrific. Ann Marie had the Polish sampler platter that had Kielbasa, a cabbage roll, sauerkraut, a pierogi and mashed potatoes and gravy. Wonderful comfort food.
The bill was so reasonable that we thought we should just live here. Less than thirty dollars for all of that food.
We rolled ourselves out of there and then toured the downtown area of Detroit. We will definitely come back again to do some more extensive exploring.
