Diner notes
5 out of 5
My buddy had a craving for borscht while we were on the east coast and with Brighton Beach being little Odessa, thats where we went. I randomly chose this place and when I walked in and saw pictures from the movie Lord of War on the wall (it was filmed here)... I fangirled out! Anyways, the food... Probably the best Russian and Ukrainian food I've had in the States. The pelmeni was superb, the ground chicken cutlet and mashed potatoes were delicious and filling, and for dessert? A couple of shots of Russian Standard and a Ukrainian beer. I also enjoyed the atmosphere. Customers came in, ordered their meals in Russian or Ukrainian, and went about their afternoon. Everyone from mom's with their little kids in tow to babushkas gossiping and enjoying lunch. This was a meal fit for a Lord of War, no doubt.

That was an excellent lunch. Now, I don’t know much about Eastern European food. But that was absolutely delicious. The sea bass and the chicken stroganoff were a delight. We had vareniki, borscht, and stuffed cabbage as apps, all of which were delicious too. And for dessert we had some blintzes with cheese and jelly that were the perfect send off. Not a bad price either, and the service was very quick and to the point (not a lot of small talk but I wouldn’t have expected it either). 100% would recommend

Tight tables, not easy to maneuver. Small 6 oz or less of fruit drink is $6 about 8 Oz of soup is $12. Literally Michelin star prices for a corner Ukranian coffee shop.
Eaten at Toddle Inn?
Tell us what you ordered and what it cost. Two or three sentences about one dish is more useful to the next person than a star rating.

Nearest first, then across the Rio Grande Valley.
