    How disappointing. Had wanted to visit here for the longest time. Finally made it and experienced very disappointing service. Food was brought to the table stone cold after about a 40 minute wait. After sending it back, the same plates returned fifteen minutes later reheated. The re-fried breaded mushrooms were especially disgusting. I don't think anyone was managing the dining room or the kitchen. What a shame.

    They don't have smalec, and the server looked at me like I was retarded when I asked for this TRADITIONAL Polish spread. She didn't take a drink order, either, and my wife had to flag her down. We've been here several times, and the service is usually a bit lacking. That being said, we live in Clawson, and this is our go-to Polish joint when we can't make the trek to Hamtramck. Wawel still gets the job done.

    Great food. Love the Dill Pickle Soup. Generous portions for the dinner. Interesting assortment of Polish beer/ale. And the decor is almost pure old world. Service can be a little slow sometimes though but is generally good.

    My boyfriend and I received a gift certificate here for Christmas. Being a tiny Polish girl with a huge appetite, I was more than excited. The atmosphere is a little..unwelcoming when you walk in. The space inside is HUGE, and the decor is sloppily scattered amongst the walls. We both went all out and ordered the Wawel platters - pierogi, kraut, kielbasa, stuffed cabbage, crepe, and potato pancakes. I thought the food was wonderful - 5 stars for sure. -2 stars for service and atmopshere. We've been here a few times and it's been a mostly older crowd (and I mean OLDER). This doesn't bother me too much if the food is good..but I definitely wouldn't come back unless I was meeting family for dinner. Overall, great food, but the service is lacking (took us close to 45 minutes to get our food)

    Wawel is a nice place and has the old Polish feel to it. It almost feels like you're eating in Europe. Sometimes there is a guy who plays piano and takes tips. It's a nice touch. The place is a huge. It is a high ceiling and tons of tables. It never seems that busy. The good.....the food. It's authentic polish. It's always good! The soups are awesome. Everything is homemade. No frozen garbage here. The bad. Many times it takes too long to get waited on. Considering they aren't that busy, you'd think you'd get immediate service. Often times you get your water and a menu, then wait 10-15 minutes for more service. The waiters and waitresses are always kind and helpful. I think they just need to hire more of them or change the way they do things. All in all, if I want a good Polish meal in the suburbs I go to Wawel. It's definitely tasty and never disappointing.

    Math lesson of the day: 1. Assembly your crew (it helps if the total number is a multiple of 3). 2. Take the number of people in your crew and divide by 3. 3. Order this number (answer from 2) of Polish feasts. 4. Stuff your face 5. Take a nap

    My mom's friend wanted to treat her to dinner for her birthday, and this is where they chose. Since I was in town, I was invited along. They play bridge here and in return they agree to buy lunch. That's no problem for my mom and her friends. Another reviewer mentioned that the food taste like catered food, and not made to order. He was right, probably because that is what they do most :Funerals and weddings (based on the clientele - the former is the greater). Let me state that i was probably the youngest person in there by twenty years. Decor: It's a Polish version of the Elks Club. The good: Dill pickle soup. Yes, it is really tasty! Who woulda thunk it! Everything else? Well, the two senior ladies i was with enjoyed their liver and onions. My birthday mom had the [fried] whitefish special. it was nothing special. I would have ordered the fish and chips, but it's a Friday only thing. The had the cheese crepes which were really cheese blintzes. They were luke warm, and passable, but I will stick to French crepes. Not really worth $8.95. This isn't really a dining destination for foodies, but if you want to please your Polish, Slovak, Czech, etc.. grandparents, then this is the place for you to win brownie points, or maybe kielbasa points.

    Went here because we heard such good things byt left completely disappointed. I had potato pierogi and my husband had kraut pierogi. We were both disappointed. Both our dishes arrived cold. They were supposed to be fried with onions but both of ours were barely fried and had no onions. The potato had a very weird consistency inside. I am not polish and my homemade pierogi are better.

    Stick with the dill soup, potato pierogis, potato pancakes and sauerkraut and keibalsa! Very good. Everything else I would pass on.

    Went here for lunch today with some co-workers. Long time polish boy, first time at this restaurant. My experience would agree with the majority of the reviews already posted here: awesome food, but not the place to go if you only have 30 minutes for lunch. The soup is homemade, between the fifteen on us at the table we had multiple bowls of every type and no one was disappointed. I had the beef barley and it was rich, thick and fresh. Since it all looked good, I went with the Wawel Platter: potatoes and gravy, sauerkraut, kielbasa, meatballs, pierogi, stuffed cabbage and city chicken. Yep they fit all that on a plate and I managed to fit it all in my stomach. Honestly there was not a bad thing on the plate and certainly nothing I wouldn't order again. My only caution would be to those who come in large groups like ours, be prepared because your food will all come out at one time. Understand that it may not all be ready at one time, some may have been ready a few minutes before the others, but it all comes out together. One waitress, one trip. The service, although slow, was comforting in a way. My grandmother who passed this year at the age of 93 was a long time waitress at the Polish Century Club in Hamtramck MI. Seeing the older female servers with their perfectly coiffed hair and spotless uniforms brought back a lot of good memories. I think even she would have approved of the food here!

    You really don't expect a restaurant to be in the middle of this giant cultural center, but oddly enough, it works. Not much for decor, but the food is great. The staff are very nice and helpful. We got a table right away and our waitress had plenty of recommendations for food and beer. Will be going back.

    Today we marked off another place on our "restaurants we've wanted to try since we moved here" list--and we've tried to go probably three or four times before, but we always managed to show up on Saturday when they're closed! We planned ahead this time, and also had a restaurant.com coupon to boot! If you've read my other reviews, you know I am Polish so have had some experience with great home-cooked polish food...so I was very eager to taste everything. Consequently, I ordered the Wawel Polish Platter which gave me a little taste of quite a few things (city chicken, meatballs, stuffed cabbage, pierogi, kielbasa & kraut with mashed potatoes and gravy). Hubby got the Combination Plate (two pierogi, crepe, stuffed cabbage, kielbasa & kraut). Both dinners came with soup so we both had to try the Dill Soup! Dill Soup, you say? Really? Yes, and it was pretty good. Served hot, with potatoes and carrots in a kind of creamy dill base. Not my favorite soup ever, but something I would order again! (Even just to be able to say I've eaten Dill Soup!) Hubby was very impressed with his meal and loved everything. I, on the other hand, could appreciate that it was all PRETTY good, but not quite 5-star good. The city chicken was tasty and brought back memories, but it was a little dry. The pierogies (which came with sour cream) were a slight bit bland and would have been better with sauteed onions. The kielbasa and kraut was good, just not like my mom's. The stuffed cabbage was pretty dead-on to what I am used to (mmmm, tasty!). The mashed potatoes were real and came with a mushroom gravy. So overall, we had great service and everything was tasty, even if it wasn't exactly like my family's homemade versions--and I managed to still snarf everything down (minus a few bites I just couldn't finish--it was a LOT of food). We are now eager to take our polish mothers back there to see what they think! And you wouldn't have to twist our arms to go back...

    Looking for Polish food? Look no further. This is Polish food like my Polish grandma should have made me. (She never made Polish food.) I always order the combination plate and everything on it tastes wonderful. Pierogies, a crepe, kraut, kielbasa, potato pancake...great comfort food. The mushroom soup is good too. It's in the Polish Cultural Center, so it's not open every day. I always go on Friday nights and haven't had to wait longer than a few minutes for a table. Service is friendly, but slow. I go there expecting to wait for my food for a while. I look at it more as the cultural center sharing the culture of it's food with the general public, rather than a business tyring to make money. Going in with that expectation, the food makes it totally worth it to me.

    3 stars for food, 1.5, maybe 2 for service. Dill pickle soup was surprisingly tasty, it being my first experience with such a thing. I ordered the combination plate which consisted of kielbasa and kraut, a potato pancake, 2 pierogies and a crepe. The kielbasa was pretty flavorful, the potato pancake, while not close to as delicious as my grandma has made, wasn't awful. The pierogies were a bit of a disappointment, one was sauerkraut and one was potato, and they just really lacked in flavor. The crepe was nowhere as thin as a typical crepe and a little dry. Originally instead of the potato pancake I was supposed to get stuffed cabbage but I asked if I could substitute, and the waitress forgot, so underneath my potato pancake was the sauce from the stuffed cabbage that had just been taken off the plate. Service was not completely horrid but could definitely use some improvement. I stood waiting for over 5 minutes just waiting for someone to come seat me, and it was almost 10 minutes before the waitress came over to bring us water. Not once did she check to see how we liked our meal, and actually said "oh, good!" when we asked for another moment to peruse the menu. A bit of a disappointment considering my love for all things Polish.

    The food is so comforting, really down home Polish food. The service can be rough at times, but all in all a nice experience.

    A little bit more pricey then the polish places in hamtramck, but still authentic, tasty, and in a great location. This place is housed inside the polish cultural center with a small area filled with tables, their are always polish families dining here, and the service is very prompt. Their dill pickle soup is to die for. I will keep going to this place for peirogi's, soup and mashed potatoes, all their other dishes are amazing as well. I usually get the vegetarian plate, and whomever I go with order's the combination plate, it's a plate with a little bit of every traditional polish dish. Everyone try this place!

    Decided to walk into this place after driving by and seeing a giant banner that said,"pierogies available". I love Polish food and I was starving, I walk in..... Ah I thought to myself, old fashioned furnishings that looked like they were a throwback from communist held Warsaw. Old fashioned chandelliers, dark brown curtains, a pianist playing a sad melody, and the wafting smell of mothballs and potatoes. I decided on a carryout because it was getting late, the old lady running the register was like, "what you want order?" I chose the Pierogy plate with mix of potato, cheese, and kraut. My order took 5 minutes to prepare, wow I was really surprised. As for the food, well the potatoe pierogies were delicious, I didn't care for the cheese or the kraut, but I forgot about about the cheese being sweet, yuk! Overall it was just average, maybe one day I'll go in there with a dark suit and sunglasses and stare down customers. But if you want a great Polish, Under the Eagle would be my recommendation.

    When I get a text asking if I want sushi or Polish food, my reaction was literally "meh"...who cares? There isn't amazing sushi in SE Michigan, please correct me if I'm wrong but I haven't found it, and I really didn't want to drive down to Hamtramack for quality polish eats. Well, bust my buttons, the dinner date chose Wawel in Troy and my ever-expanding waistline is glad he did. First off...the location. How damn precious is this place? It's a cross between a Knights Of Columbus hall and a Greek Orthodox Church. Cheesy-chic. On one side, you have the bar area, though I doubt you would find the 20-somethings proping up the bar and checking out the honeys. It's brightly lit and seriously gives me the Clark W. Griswold in Germany feel. The main ballroom features plenty of tables as well and on the night we dined (a Friday), an older gentleman played piano on the main dancefloor. Atleast I think it was a dancefloor. I told my date that if another couple got up, we had to as well. Luckliy for him, nobody danced but the music was a nice touch. Onto the meal...I can't even tell you the name of my dish but there was alot of it. It was carb nirvana...potato pancakes, kraut pierogies, stuff cabbage, more kraut, more starch, more yummy goodness. The pierogies are amazing! Plump and full of tart, delicious kraut. The potato pancakes where interesting. Literally flat as a pancake, doughy and SO good. LIke a crepe, dip in sour cream and chew until your jaw is sore. The stuffed cabbage? Honestly, my Mom's blows theirs out of the water...but it was a nice mix of sweet and savory. By no means offensive, just nothing can compare with Mom's...and I'm not the first to have said that. The dill pickle soup was fantastic!!! It's such a unique flavor...the dill being very subtle. There is something endlessly summer about it. I am now on the hunt for a great recipe for it because I know my dinner date and I will be craving it in the comforts of our own home. They have what appears to be a full bar and a beer selection with all the usual suspects (Bud, Bud Lite, etc.) and a few Polish imports. I did try one, a lite brew, but I can't remember the name and wouldn't even try to spell it. Thanks to my waitress for suggesting it because it went down too smooth. All and all...it's not the kind of place you want to take a date. The crowd is a little older...okay, it's alot of senior citizens at 6:30 on a Friday but it's very comfortable and unpretentious. The food is really fantastic and the prices are reasonable (about $11-$13 for dinner, with soup and bread). They also have carryout....and who wouldn't love to bring some homemade pierogies home and claim they slaved to make them from their own recipe? It's definately worth the stop if you are looking for true, ethnic comfort food.
