Thomas's family dining restaurant in Livonia has been turning out Polish favorites for the last 20 years! The service is always amazing and the place is always immaculately clean inside! Their food is always on point and their portion size is good. They recently remodeled the inside and unfortunately have raised the prices of everything to reflect the remodel :( That's okay though, we will still be going back to fill our Polish fix

Food was real good. I got the polish trio. It was all incredible, the city chicken, and the stuffed cabbage was all great. Food came real fast and our waitress was awesome. I can't remember her name but she had dark hair.

Tried it out for the first time and it was really busy for a Tuesday afternoon! Our server was nice but forgot a few things leading us to ask for more than we should have had to. We got the fried pickles and they are chips (not spears) and they were good, came with ranch. I ordered a turkey club, and it was good, but the tomato seemed past its prime and there was a liquid dripping from the turkey which made it a bit unappealing. My oldest got a bacon cheeseburger (said it was terrible, burnt and he wouldn’t even finish it, which says a lot since he plays football and eats pretty much everything), my other kids got the French toast (loved it) and spaghetti (thought it was ok). The kids meals were reasonably priced, but beverages and sandwiches were on the pricey side. Didn’t seem like there was enough parking for how many people were there.

This is a great polish diner. Nicer than your average greasy spoon. Great food with large portions. I’ve gotten a breakfast hash here that was great, and then the other day I got a daily special “southwest chicken salad” which was fresh and tasty and probably large enough for 2 or 3 people to eat.

Food and service is always excellent! Most recent time we had breakfast. Not only did they have soft butter for the cherry pecan pancakes, but they also have warm syrup! One suggestion I do have is if they can serve their German Tomato soup more often. It is so delicious! We come a distance and cannot always get there on a Thursday. I have to say that this restaurant watches for details, cares about their customers. Hoping if they ever want to expand, you would be welcomed in the South Lyon area.

It’s so exciting to have Polish options! And they were pretty good! I can see why it’s busy and highly rated! The service was fantastic, thank you Alexa! It was clean and comfortable, if a little dark and old-fashioned. I had dill pickle soup, potato pancakes, and pierogis. Yeah, I love my starches:) I enjoyed them all:) I will totally go back- and you should check it out for lunch sometime!

I went here for Polish food. The service was fantastic around noon today. The food was hot and came out quickly and was wonderful, some of the best I've had. The soup was amazing! My husband and I will definitely be returning! Even the leftovers were tasty!
