Smuggler's Inn Diner - Southern restaurant (US) in Katowice, Poland
Smuggler's Inn Diner in Katowice
Description
Privilege
The All-american burger was really delicious. Decent beer selection. The only downside is that you cannot pay by card, its cash-only.
MoreTheir Burgers are awesome. I have never tasted a vegetarian burger like that before. Must visit place with good songs playing, great food and ambience.
MoreGreat diner with lot of delicious burger options (both veg and non veg). Ambience is also great. Recommended.
MoreJuż od ponad roku blef o awarii terminala.Response edit:Where theres a will, theres a way. Of course its about the rates, and not about a failure. Youre in the center of a provincial city, its not like you cant get any help with that, so the backstory is not valid anymore. Just be honest. Your burgers are great :).
MoreBurger of my life, awesome. P.S. i took photo after i ate that delicious Burger.
The reason I give it 3 stars is for a couple reasons. Being from the US, I was excited to eat some American food. My chicken sandwich was great and very juicy; however, our Texas fries were so dry and they tasted like they were a few days old. On top of that they don’t have an English menu so we had to have the waitress translate for us. It is a bit expensive for Poland but if you stay with the burgers and sandwiches you won’t be disappointed and it’s definitely worth the money. To the restaurant I would recommend getting some English menus especially since you advertise that you’re an American Diner. Keep in mind you will have to pay in cash or Blik because their card system isn’t working.
MoreGreat food, great service, great prices.Overall, completely satisfied with the experience.I would recommend to pop in there to anyone passing by :)
MoreGood service, nice bartenders, all of the staff are kind. Cocktails are unique and food with unforgettable taste. I recommend that place to all guests who want to be treated like V.I.P. by best staff in Katowice! I’ll be back for sure.
MoreNice ppl, good drinks delicious nachos.Good English speaking also.
Been twice. They take cash only. Quality of food has been perfect. Drinks are great. Clean, big menu, friendly service, good tunes, and very fair prices. Decor is cool too. I like the hot sauce and BBQ sauce shelf for you to try out different flavors and heat. Highly recommend for a no nonsense burger and fries.
MoreVery good burgers, friendly staff. Recommended.
Amazing burgers. By far the best burgers in town. Cozy American diner styled restaurant. Friendly and helpful staff. Great service overall.No English menus which makes it a bit more difficult for non-Polish speaking guests to decide what to eat.I dont know if we were unlucky or not but the restaurant was cash only. The ATM machine they suggested right outside the restaurant charges a withdrawal fee of 16 PLN or a exchange rate almost 20% above normal NOK to PLN exchange rates.Not particularly the restaurants fault but something to keep in mind.
MoreA classic diner with a beautiful interior and good music. The Cordon Bleu burger and the rucola salad were delicious. The meat was a little dry, though
MoreDelicious food! One of the best burgers Ive ever had!! And we had a very lovely waiter☺️
MoreAbsolute best burgers in town. Period.
A great music, a lot of effort to make it a nice place with a great service and oh gosh, the burgers are magnificent.
MoreOne of the best American restaurant I have ever been.
After a series of less than average restaurants this one was a nice surprise!The waitress was super nice, offered to translate the menu for me because they only had it in Polish.The burgers are huge and mine tasted amazing (chicken cordon blue).If given the chance I would come back here again!
MoreOne of the best Burgers! Really amazing in total. Really good and kind service, good and fresh food and even good beer. Thats for definitely fair prices!!!Thanks for that great meal.Will come back
MoreA little bit long waiting time, but worth it. Gluten free Burger is an option, and is very good, 3 hours after the meal and no problems regarding celiac disease.[update: it has been a day and no gluten related issues, which is very, very good news]Regular burger also very good. Good price. If you’re looking for a gluten free burger in Katowice this could be a solution. Unfortunately French fries are made in the same place as onion rings so they do contain gluten.
MoreGood coffee at a good priceUpdate: Finally got around to having a burger and fries there. Absolutely fantastic food. I highly recommend Smugglers Inn
MoreGood food and great selection of hot sauces. Pricing is bit higer than other buger joints at area but worth it. Also based on discussion with other visitors card payment have recurring issues and cash is preferred.
MoreFantastic food, super nice staff, a great owner making sure everyone has a nice experience. Certainly a place to come back to
MoreQuite nice restaurant with delicious snacks and juice like sok pomarańczowy. Though no pizza!
MoreThe best bar in Kato! Best burgers, best staff and atmosphere :I truly recommend it
MoreEdit: replies to owner below.My first experience of the place wasnt as impressive as expected and just about worthy of 3 stars (possibly it being a one-offbut having looked through other comments, especially the replies, 1 star seems more than appropriate.Waiting time - greeting and receiving the menu was promising. Yet, if I had to wait so long for the drinks and food when the place was half full (and already had food served), then Id hate to think how it would have been if it were completely full.Food - average since it seems to be a habit of recommending substandard places or McDonalds. The only good thing I can say is that the meat was cooked medium-well (my preferred wayand that there were gloves provided (can come in useful with such an excessive amount of sauce added).Decor - if so much thought had gone into customer service/satisfaction as there had into the decor, then the place would be worthy of a recommendation.Not sure if Ill go back (probably to the satisfaction of the ownerand depends on whether the attitude problem has gone away.-------Dear owner,That was very rude, pretentious and presumptuous of you. I may have expected a reply but that was just below the belt.I dont expect to be treated like a King/Queen - I expect to be treated with respect which you seem to have only for yourself.These reviews are not for your eyes only - they are there for all to see. So I did my research about this place and you did your "research" into me. In which moment is that surprising?Dismissing critical comments as trolling doesnt make the situation any better. Neither does lashing out on those who dont praise your restaurant. Just because someone doesnt praise your restaurant doesnt mean they didnt go there.Please do not continue to insult me or other customers that may express their dissatisfaction - going personal just proves you have no valid comments.You have truly outdone yourself with the reply which is an absolute shame because it makes all the work put into the place go to waste.-------Dear owner,I wonder what the reason was that you changed your reply from being insulting to deflecting by threatening me. "Fake account"? "A competitor"? My "domain address"? Seriously?!?You truly dont seem to be able to accept the fact that you had dissatisfied customers and instead insult those who dont praise you. Its too late to change your image by changing your comment - the damage has been done but youll be fine as you have plenty of people who had a much MUCH better experience than we did. No more insults or threats, though...please.-------Dear owner,Yet again, youve changed your reply. Why? I edited mine because I noticed that youd changed yours. Strange? Really??Stop threatening me. Its simply pathetic.I dont need to explain or justify why Ive kept my account private. Judging from your threats, are you really surprised?So why didnt you treat the person I was with "like "King & Queens""? Why dont you threaten other reviews that have private accounts or no reviews whatsoever? Ah..yes..the star count.Stop threatening me. Stop being a bully.
MoreGreat people!! Great food! Great atmosphere! Great music as well! Hands down!!! 👏 Roger makes his bugers better than any American burger joint! And Im American!!! Keep up the awesome work!!!🤘
MoreGreat hamburgers and great service. If I return to Katowice this will be one of my stops.
MoreGreat place with a cosy atmosphere! Very flexible menu if you prefer a wege option.It is made always sure that your dish comes up to your exceptions! Delicious sweet potato fries, a great variety of hamburgers and what an apple pie!Besides, you can count on a lovely chat with the owners!:)
MoreCool place to hang out a Polish take on an American West Coast Diner. Food was excellent the milkshakes okay and the price brilliant.
MoreGreat place! Atmosphere, food, prices, service, etc. I really enjoyed the ice cold Guiness beer. Ill definitely be back soon!
MoreWe were impressed by this small and good furnished restaurant. Beautifully decorated with lots of details. Our starters (Nachos Libre & Parmesan frieswere amazing. Our main courses were four different burgers and all of it was great. Food has good quality and was very well seasoned. Still there was something negative at this place: 1- The non- or bad functioning air-handling system and 2- The Service. We waited too long to be allowed to order and waited longer to get our burgers. It was chaotic. Pity!I will visit you again because of the good food and to give your service a second chance.
MoreVery nice place with a lot of good burgers 🍔 Highly recommend this place :)
Nice place close the center of Katowice. Interesting atmosphere and american decoration and style. Beer and coffee is ok, service is adequate and prices relatively high but reasonable. Didnt try food, however overall inpression is very positive!
MoreFood is great! Coffee is awesome and tasty! Drinks are cool and nice! And the Staff is amazing! Great place for nice time with friends!
MoreThis place is a wonderful retreat after a long day of work. The beer is cold, the burgers are stunning and the staff is really friendly!!The menu choices are numerous and allow you to pick anything you feel like eating..In short, 5 out of 5 stars...Arjan
MoreI was looking for a good burger joint in Poland that could also cater for my gluten free health requirements. I got to Smugglers Inn and immediately loved the decor. Its designed like a 50s diner with a wall of hot sauces you can try out.Unfortunately they didnt have an English menu but the hostess translated the entire menu for me. They were super helpful when it came to my GF intolerance too. They had GF buns, removed or replaced any toppings that I couldnt eat.Since I couldnt have any fries because they also cook onion rings in the oil, they prepared oven baked fries just for me.The burger was great, the fries were crispy and salty, and everything went down great with a strawberry milkshake.I definitely recommend!
MoreGreat rendition of an American Pub. One for the best places to go to watch sports as well. Burgers are fantastic and are cooked to your liking. Milkshakes are heavenly and the hot sauce selection is unrivaled in Katowice. Service is wonderful and every dish is made carefully and with care. The owners are incredibly friendly people always willing to make adjustments to food or to cater to sporting/ television events. This is the place you need to come if your homesick or just need a great place to chill out.
MoreBest burger in katowice so far ... the waitresses are very nice ...the spices perfectly were chose ..and the food it self is so tasty ...the decorations are so cosy and neat...jus so perfect
MoreMy fav in there are fries with cheese. It doesn’t mean that burgers aren’t good, on the contrary, little drops of heaven.By the way chef and the owner is a brilliant guy.
MoreWe want there for the drinks. Really tasty one! Especially I recommend Margarita. Place is great with nice vibe
MoreDelicious food, awesome service!
I don’t recommend itWe went 4 peoplesWe wait 45 minutes to have one beer and the starter but nothing comes ( burgers was ordered too )So we leave the placeBut I forget my bag with medicine inside on my seat30 minutes after I came back alone to get it backThey ask to me to pay the entire orderI had to say two times « I will call the police » to get my bag again ... amazing !Message to the manager : change everything or close your business .. never I will come back
MoreWaited 45 minutes after ordering the beers and appetizers, asked 3 times the waiters, always the same answer "we are preparing it now" after 3rd time we just left... And it wasnt crowed at all...
MoreFine Pub, fine furniture style. Once pizza and focaccia were good enough. Since few time these are not available anymore in the menù proposals. The rest of the menù is sufficient. Young personnel... but it is clear they dont know what to do. They have no experience.
MoreVery nice place! Great burgers. It is possible to get a gluten free burger. Kind and friendly stuff.
MoreTasty food and drinks, cool furnishing. Helpfull and nice staff. Had to wait a while for the drinks, therfore I cut one star.
MoreAbsolutely fantastic. This place serves the best Margeritas !!! The owners are such a lovely and kind people who will do anything to please their customers - nothing is a problem. All staff was fantastic and food is just delicious. We wishing them all the best and cant wait to return. Kasia & Jack xxx
