Here's a copy of the post mentioned.  I haven't tried it yet myself, but if I get to the Fall River area,....

 Ideally close to Boston but we're willing to make a pilgrimage if we
 must.

Well for something unique, one must take a little trip down route 24 to Fall
 River.
 The "Uke" or " Ukrainian Home" is a basement dive, located in the old
 Ukranian Home that serves up cabbage and potato Pirogies, Galumpkies,
 and
 Polish Sausage. By far the most interesting item on the menu is the
 cabbage
 soup.....I guess at one time there was quite a large Polish/Ukrainian
 population in Fall River, but that has dwindled down, and the
 Portugese
 culture has snuck in and they have created " fusion" cuisine.....the
 Cabbage
 Soup has Porugese Chorizo in it , and its out of this world. Also ,
 the
 Polish sausage plate comes with Sausage, pierogies, Galumpkes and
 soup, and
 its so cheap one can stuff oneself and then roll out the door for
 about 7
 bucks.
 The Ukranian Home is located at 482 Globe street, Fall River
 Mass.508-672-9677
 They also serve fish, steaks, and seafood, but I have never eaten
 anything
there but the Polish offerings.

   Although I haven't been there in perhaps 10 years, I often ate there
when I was passing through on business and was always pleased. Unless they 've changed, don't expect a flashy building, just  quality , moderate prices and perhaps a unique ethnic ambiance.
