Sokolowski's University Inn

The most amazing food I had all year in 2019! This was the place my fiancee and I went to the evening of my birthday on our weekend trip across Ohio, and it was amazing! The atmosphere is very cozy. There were family photos and photos of famous individuals, most notably Michael Symon, who had visited there. There was a bar, wood tables that were packed but didn't feel too close together, and a lovely chandelier! On the weekends, they have a live piano player which was a nice touch! The food was nothing short of spectacular. Sokolowskis serves traditional Polish food, including favorites like pierogies, Salisbury steak, and stuffed cabbage, which is exactly what we went with. They also have an interesting variety of cold beverages like orange milk, cream soda and ginger beer. We were content with water, but it was very nice to have a lot of choices! We did try their homemade rice pudding and an apple pastry and loved both of them! We still had leftovers to take with us, but both agreed that we would order an extra meal next time we went to-go :D Even with a tip, we still only spent less than 50 bucks! We've been joking around the last few months that we would take the 7 hour ride from Philly to Cleveland just to come back here! I can't wait until we do :)

How have I lived in Cleveland my entire life and NEVER dined here?! The food was absolutely amazing, fresh, great variety. Service was excellent AND the ambiance even better with live piano. I'll be back regularly! Pictured is the stuffed cabbage, mashed potatoes, brussel sprouts and pork chop mashed potatoes and pieroges. Absolutely delicious!

Delicious food. I got Salisbury steak, pierogi, mac & cheese, and mushroom soup. All of them were fantastic. They also have really good bottled milk. There's a piano player in one of the rooms on Saturday nights. Lines quickly form for dinner on Saturdays - go for lunch during the week if you want fewer crowds. They have copies of the menu and specials near the line.

Love the atmosphere here. The food is always good. Lines can be long during the evening hour so plan to come early. Afternoon hours during the weekdays are a great time to come and have a meal. Pierogi are delicious every time. Stuffed cabbage is tasty. I usually come here for the chicken paprikash. They have a huge menu and nightly specials.

As a first timer, I had a wonderful time. My husband found this place because he knows how much I love getting a true, homecooked, authentic Polish meal. And this place did not disappoint. He took me here for my birthday lunch and this wonderful couple helped us out by telling us what we had to try. Their list kept going and going and they seemed to end every sentence with..."it's all so good." We ended up getting the pierogi and chicken plates. That couple was right. It was SOOO good. I can't wait to go back to try the bread pudding. Thank you Sokolowski family for playing your part in keeping the Polish culture alive. ❤❤❤

This was a lucky find traveling through Cleveland! We were looking for a great Polish Eatery, and we found it! The Chicken Paprikash was heavenly! The Salisbury Steak was great too! All the sides were incredible. There was nothing we had that wasn't wonderful! We will have to make a trip there, just for the restaurant! Oh, and for pierogis!
