- Serious EatsJune 11, 2013Of all the Polish restaurants in Greenpoint, Karczma may have the whackiest design, treading close to theme restaurant territory. But its huge menu of comfort food is consistently well-executed.Upvoted Oct 21
- Beril EsenOctober 6, 2017While the plate of polish specialties is perfect for those interested in the Polish traditional taste, their grilled salmon with dill sauce was the best salmon I had in a while. Their zurek is a must!
- Graylyn RooseAugust 20, 2016Delicious and authentic Polish food. We got the platter for two, which included cabbage, potatoes, bacon, beef, chicken, salmon and two kinds of sausages. It was an immense amount of food!
- Natalie FreilichApril 15, 2016The soups here are authentic. The chicken soup comes prepared just how I would get it in Warsaw - rectangular noodles, dotted with carrots & parsley. They nail the zurek, spot on.

- Fodor's TravelSeptember 9, 2015Order the pierogis fried, not boiled, and one of the Polish, Czech, or German beers served in giant glasses. This restaurant is a great value for the price, so come hungry and prepare to feast. Read more
- Katya PugachevaSeptember 12, 2014Huge portions for very reasonable prices. Don't be scared by lard, go for it! All the rest is also very tasty, yet heavy, so beware. Beer goes perfectly with most of the food there.

- Mansi ShahSeptember 10, 2017Pierogies are delicious, I got them fried at the bartender's suggestions and it was great. Cheese and potato is a bit bland. The mushroom ones were my favorite. The veggie sandwich was terrible.
