Met a friend here for the buffet lunch at 11 and I was so impressed! The food was absolutely amazing and there was everything from appetizers to desserts. The restaurant and restrooms were very clean and the staff was friendly and accommodating I will definitely be back it's just too bad I can't eat as much as they offer!

Very good place, definitely will come back fantastic service the food is incredible good

I've enjoyed a few meals at Jolly Inn over the last few years, but I must say that yesterday's visit here was quite possibly my most delicious bite-for-bite Polish meal ever. Sure the prices have creeped up a bit (now the buffet is $20 on weekdays, $25 on weekends, soup included), but prices are higher everywhere so it's still a good value to dine here. Seemingly everything I tasted was scrumptious - cream of mushroom soup, potato pancake, cheese blintz, stuffed cabbage roll, Polish sausage, pierogis, meatball, BBQ rib, hunters stew, stuffed cheesy chicken, and the little desserts. Still, I do like that apple fritter the best! My lovely wife is a fan of the fish fillets. Come to Jolly Inn hungry and you will enjoy a plate or three of Polish home cookin'.

Came for Easter and it was wonderful. Came with my wife, my 96 year old mother and my brother with his family. We were seated almost immediately. Despite being super busy, the service was attentive and friendly. The food was as always, wonderful. I really love this place and can't recommend it enough. If you are looking for a warm, friendly atmosphere in which to enjoy a buffet styled meal with family and friends, the Jolly Inn is the place to go.

My family went through a difficult time recently; I had no energy to cook, and decided to call JI. It was in a last moment, but they still took my order for traditional Xmas Eve meatless dinner. Everything was delish and affordable. The manager, Bozena, was super kind. If you crave Polish food, run there to try a variety of tasty Polish dishes.

I just learned that the owner sold the business and they had a new owner running the Polish buffet with new staff running. Although I miss the familiar staff and ambiance. Had a craving for polish food since my Seattle Sutton's diet and since transformation some food is not there like the old setup. The barley with blood. Not sure if the fried or if they're using the same cooks that made the pressure cooking chicken that tastes like fried chicken? Other than that beat it at a liquor bar that the old owner didn't have. It came to a shock cuz I haven't been here since 2021. Right now 3 stars because of certain polish dishes I was looking for. The new staff was nice to ask how the food was and soup is included. Younger staff than the older familiar servers in the previous way it was run by.

We attend a quinceańera aka sweet sixteenth Open bar 4 course dinner Dj, and live music evrething was great Service on point batrooms clean I like that

If you like traditional Polish food, this is the restaurant for you. We were greeted by the hostess and sat right away. The buffet includes soup and ice cream. Assortment of cold and hot food.
