Chris's Restaurant Brooklyn Reviews
Good food, service and atmosphere! Definitely recommend it!
I had a perfect 5-star experience at Chris's Restaurant! The service and atmosphere were both major highlights, earning 4 stars each. The food was also very good with a solid 3-star rating. It is an excellent local spot for a great meal in a wonderful environment!
The area needed more quality options like this one. Their food demonstrates clear talent. This place is absolutely amazing! Employees show equal dedication to service and food quality. Chris's Restaurant - Polska Restauracja Brooklyn NY remains among my most recommended places.
Was craving pierogis and this totally satisfied it. I initially asked for cheese pierogis and they gave me the wrong order, but once I told them they quickly corrected it. Definitely recommend getting them with the dill sauce— it elevated the whole dish. We also ordered the kielbasa and potato pancakes which were all delish. Great ambience as well!
The pricing reflects the experience accurately. The restaurant met my hopes completely. The menu offers plenty of options that all taste fresh. Our server was enthusiastic and explained menu items clearly. The food amazed me unexpectedly.
The food here speaks a language of pure satisfaction. They brought out so much food, with each plate topping the previous one. I enjoy the overall mood. Employees here deliver friendly service and suggest truly satisfying dishes. I want to recognize everyone's contribution.
Been wanting to write this for months. The food quality exceeded already high benchmarks. The restaurant combines speed with affordability. Basic ingredients handled with care impress me. The employees here demonstrate outstanding attentiveness to guests.
The food is actually amazing 👏 really really good. Can't go wrong with anything you order. Nice chill atmosphere. See lots of people come for the drinks. Some of the best healthy food in the area. Highly recommend this place.
Might be predominantly Polish cuisine but there's something for everyone. Burgers, ribs, steaks etc. Pleasant service and not too noisy. Prices are decent. Great beer. Reservation not required but recommended.
The best experience ever I had yesterday ! Thank you for the services, I don’t remember the waitress names but they were so kind and professional ❤️❤️. Food and atmosphere 100/10. They asked us where we are from and they put music from our country! Small details made the difference, so glad and happy to enjoy my wedding celebration with you! Definitely I’ll come back💘💘💘
Chris Restaurant: A Hidden Gem of Polish & American Cuisine Nestled in the heart of Brooklyn at 1866 86th Street, Chris Restaurant is a must-visit for anyone craving authentic Polish and American cuisine. This long-standing culinary landmark has perfected the art of blending tradition with exceptional flavor, offering a warm and welcoming atmosphere that feels like home.

The pierogies—handcrafted and generously stuffed—are a standout, each bite a perfect balance of soft dough and flavorful fillings. The kielbasa, bursting with smoky, savory spices, is an instant reminder of old-world European charm. Another must-try dish is the stuffed cabbage, a hearty and comforting classic that beautifully bridges Polish tradition with American culinary influences. The flavors are rich, the texture is perfect, and each bite transports you to a home-cooked meal made with love.

If you’re in Brooklyn and searching for a spot that serves up history, heart, and exceptional food—this is it! ~Mark Fusco, Esq.
The restaurant is decorated for Christmas. All the ornaments and wreaths are beautiful. There is a small bar in the restaurant if you like to sit at the bar. Service was excellent. There was only one service but she told care of things. This is our first time at the restaurant, so she gave us recommendations. We started with cheese and potato pierogi and potato pancake. You have the option to choose fried or boiled pierogi. We didn’t know which to choose so she said we could try both. The pierogi was delicious. It’s interesting to try both styles of cooking. The potato pancake has tons of flavors and super crispy. I will definitely return to the restaurant and order these dishes again. We got the fillet bass and stuffed cabbage. Both entrees were well seasoned.
Good nice Polish restaurant. They have a lunch special ....Nice fresh beer. Some food is good some food 50/50. Im not really enjoy take a salads for to go here ,because salads looks empty, And potato pancakes I’m not enjoy too. But Pierogis and soups is delicious. All workers in this restaurant cute and nice.......
Incredible food, amazing prices - well worth the schlep out to the area. The pierogi are to die for!!! We ordered the small portion of 4 pieces and just got one of each flavor - they were all good but the best one was the mushroom/sourkraut. They have a huge array of borscht to try as well. Alas, I was only there with 1 adult and a small child so we couldn't order a ton of things to try. Next time I will visit with a group so we can get a lot more food to try! The pork neck special was also soooo tasty and plentiful. We ended up with leftovers enough for a whole other meal. Staff is very nice and accommodating as well.
The restaurant serves Polish food. I ordered the mushroom barley soup. It has three size options: cup, small or large. The soup was good but was salty. I ordered the Polish platter. It consisted of 1 piece of stuffed cabbage, 1 piece of kielbasa, 3 pierogies and sauerkraut. It was very good and had a nice taste. The restaurant has a bar and some seating outdoors. Friendly and helpful staff.
First impressions of the service were good, but then got potato pancakes so stale they were hard to cut with a fork. The waitress refused to do anything about it, and then rudely tried to rush us to leave the restaurant by giving us the check. The food and service have gotten worse, not coming back!
