“ My son Peytan and I enjoy Polish Peasant very much! We have been going here for a long time since their old location and it’s one of our favorite places to eat! Their service and delicious polish food are always excellent and Karie, as always, took great care of us tonight as well as her other customers! All of their servers are excellent! Thank you! ”

“ I rarely leave reviews unless I'm truly impressed or extremely disappointed, and Kolasa's definitely impressed me. As someone who doesn't eat Polish food often, I'm not sure how it stacks up with authentic Polish restaurants in Chicago, etc., but everything we ordered was delocious. The pretzel chicken, Perogis, Polish meatballs, sausage, kraut, everything we tried was great! They also brought a variety platter of tasty, fresh baked bread to our table. Service was fast and friendly. My wife accidentally spilled her drink on her plate, and our server immediately and cheerfully helped clean up the mess and replaced her meal with no fuss. Other places may not handle a situation like that very well, but they took care of us with barely an interruption to our meal. I will definitely be going back, and I highly recommend this restaurant, even to folks who are unfamiliar with Polish cuisine. You won't be disappointed! ”

“ Highly highly recommend this place. I wanted to keep ordering and eating stuff - stopped only because I knew I would suffer on my drive to Indianapolis the next day. The staff was so friendly, and the place so beautiful. I had 6 pierogies, and they graciously let me mix them up - 2 each of the potato and meat types, and 1 each of the mushroom and kraut types. They started with the house bread with butter. I also had the Polish meatballs, and everything was absolutely delicious. Very very high quality food. There were a couple of large groups there too and everyone seemed to be having a good time. And only 20ish bucks for such great food. Only went beyond 30 because I wanted to leave a huge tip. ”

“ Wow wow wow! The photos do not do this place justice! The taste of Poland was fantastic as we got to try a few different things! We also got the potato cakes which were amazingly crispy. Wow. Wish we could have tried even more stuff! ”

“ Amazing food. And so much of it. The beet salad is awesome, as are the potato cakes, the pierogies are perfection- especially the mushroom!!! You can’t go wrong here- well worth the stop and the wait. ”

“ We were so excited to order ... What a rare gem this restaurant is !!! We had perogies (potato/cheese & sauerkraut/bacon onion) They reminded me of my grandma's ... Also ordered the beet salad ...the dressing was sweet creamy and so perfect with the salad !! Yum ! Then we had kolachki cookies for dessert (peach & raspberry) They were amazing . We are so glad we chose this restaurant...the staff was so nice and friendly....very happy !! ”

“ Great food, I had the pretzel chicken. I did not eat inside Kolasa’s, but the restaurant is super cute. They were quite busy when I placed my to-go order, would definitely recommend going in to order pick-up, rather than trying to call. The staff were all friendly and professional, even when a large party walked in for an unconfirmed reservation. So maybe go in, or call with more time than the day of to make a reservation on notoriously busy days. ”

“ I recently had the joy of experiencing Kolasa's Polish Peasant during their soft launch on Franklin Street, and I must say, they absolutely nailed it. Walking into the new spot, you're immediately struck by the transformation—it's a world away from its predecessor. The interior exudes a modern sophistication that's chic yet welcoming, avoiding any hint of pretension. The dining room is cozy, smaller than I anticipated, which only adds to the charm. Given the caliber of the food and service, I'm betting that snagging a table here will soon become a coveted achievement. Their menu is a nod to classic Polish cuisine, with prices that are more than fair for the quality you're getting. And the portions? Generously sized, ensuring you won't leave hungry. Each dish we sampled was modest in presentation but absolutely top-notch in terms of taste and preparation. It's clear there's a lot of pride coming out of that kitchen. We kicked things off with a delightful first course of deviled eggs and plum butter, paired with fresh, house-made bread—just the right opener for the feast that followed. The choice of soup or salad with entrees is a nice touch, and the homemade chicken and veggie soup did not disappoint. Then came the pierogi, a revelation in every bite. Fried to perfection, seasoned just right, and light yet packed with flavor, they were nothing short of sublime. My dining companion's white fish entree was equally impressive, tender and flaky, while my Taste of Poland sampler was a delightful journey through the menu. The pork cutlet, in particular, was unforgettable—I've never encountered one so tender and perfectly fried. Despite the generous meal, we couldn't resist taking home some bread pudding for later—and it was a decision well rewarded. It was a delicious final note to our culinary adventure. In short, The Polish Peasant stands out as a must-visit destination. For the unbeatable combination of price and quality, it's a shining addition to Downtown Michigan City's dining scene. ”
