Hey I read a review in the the St. Pete Times a while back & just passed by the place for the first time in January along with seeing a commerical on Bay News 9. I must stop by soon to see how the food tastes because it sure looked good on the TV.

Pierogi......."grill" ??????

Merged: Sarasota, Tampa, Venice, Englewood, Ft. Meyers - Florida: Are there any good Polish resturant in this area?

Grew up in Hamtramck MI, Detroit Mi, and to this day there are still a number of surprisingly excellent Polish resturants that we frequent ofter as well as many shops to get excellent Polish Kielbasa, Pierogi, Pastries and Bread. Even a few excellents spots out in the suburbs.

Are there in any good spots at all in the SW Florida area mentioned in the topic?

It seems to me that there's not great place and time for such Polish business in the USA. Recently has been closed a nice Delilah's Garden Polish Restaurant in Fort Myers, and to my knowledge one (and only in this area?) that remains is Pierogi Grill & Deli in Clearwater.

Understand that most of the people that live in that area are old people and their parents.
It is a retirement area.
Even though old people have their social security, life insirance policies from their late mate, pensions, ect.
for some reason (old school) pinch a nickle so tight it makes the buffalo fart.
They like the all you can eat buffets for $6.99.
An authentic Polish restaurant uses fresh ingredience which are expensive. ie: real butter ect.
The buffets use cheap processed foods.
Good food is not cheap and cheap food is not good.

Thanks all for the tips on the Polish Resturants in my area. I will get them to them both in the next couple of weeks and report back here.

Maybe I can find a Polish Festival or Polish Catholic Church nearby that might have food or even a good old fashioned Friday Fish Fry.

I did spot a bakery today advertising "Poonch-kee" (as most young people say these days) available on the traditional Fat Tuesday before Lent starts.

Plan to get there too and try them out.

I am Polish Speaking Realtor in Tampa Florida since 1986 working currently for People's Choice Realty. There is a good group of Polish speaking people in Tampa and surrounding areas like Clearwater, Port Richey, Hudson, Land O Lakes.

In Clearwater we have a John Paul II polish club very close to beaches and at least 3 polish stores.
