We just had my daughter‘s wedding reception at the Jolly Inn banquet hall last week, It was awesome! Everything was absolutely perfect! I had more than 10 guests come up to me to say it was the best food they ever had at a wedding. The manager is very easy to work with. I highly recommend this venue. Thank you Jolly Inn for making my daughter’s wedding unforgettable!

Perfect Venue for a Wedding!
We hosted our Polish-Ukrainian wedding at Jolly Inn, and it was an unforgettable experience! The food and atmosphere were simply perfect. The staff was incredibly accommodating and polite, making us feel special every step of the way. They gave excellent advice when it came to organizing the menu, ensuring everything was tailored to our taste. The food was absolutely delicious!
We had two MCs for the event: Maria, who brought charm with Ukrainian traditions and beautiful singing, and DJ Tommy D, who was recommended by the venue. Tommy D kept all our guests—of all ages—on the dance floor with his energetic music. It was the perfect mix of cultural elements and fun.
We highly recommend Jolly Inn for any special occasion!

We had such a wonderful experience at this Polish buffet restaurant! The food was absolutely delicious – everything tasted fresh, homemade, and full of flavor. There was a huge selection of dishes, so everyone could find something they loved. The service was incredibly warm and welcoming – everyone was super sweet and attentive. We even had the chance to meet the chef, which made it feel extra special. Truly one of the best Polish buffets we’ve ever been to – highly recommend!

I had the most delightful experience at Jolly Inn Restaurant in Chicago, and I can’t stop raving about it! This charming gem serves Polish cuisine that feels like a warm hug from my family’s kitchen. Every bite transported me back to my childhood, with flavors so authentic and comforting they could’ve been made by my own babcia. The pierogi were an absolute standout—perfectly tender, filled with deliciousness, and clearly crafted with care. The gołąbki were equally fantastic, bursting with savory goodness and wrapped with such precision, you could taste the tradition in every mouthful.

What really set this meal apart was the freshness of every dish. You can tell everything is homemade, prepared with love and attention to detail. The mushroom soup? Pure magic in a bowl—I could taste the heart and soul poured into it, rich and earthy, just like my family’s recipe. It warmed me from the inside out.

Our server was an absolute treasure, the friendliest and most hospitable woman I’ve ever encountered. She made us feel like family, checking in with genuine warmth and ensuring every moment of our meal was perfect. The entire staff radiated kindness and pride in their work, creating an atmosphere that was as inviting as the food was delicious.

Jolly Inn is a true Chicago treasure, and I’m already looking forward to my next visit. Dziękuję bardzo za wspaniałą gościnność i pyszne jedzenie! Jesteście niesamowici!

The food here is really tasty and the service is great too! This is a buffet style restaurant and so you get a lot for one price. Can't really beat the selection and quality. They always add more fresh food quickly whenever running low on something. I just came back recently and the waitress Samantha has far exceeded any expectations of any waitstaff. So now this isn't just one of the tastier restaurants but they also have the best waitress of all!

The venue is beautiful, spacious, and very well maintained — it created such an elegant atmosphere. The staff went above and beyond to make sure every detail was taken care of, from the setup to the service throughout the evening. The food was delicious, beautifully presented, and plentiful, with our guests still talking about it afterwards.

What impressed me most was the professionalism and warmth of the team — they truly cared about making our event special, and everything ran seamlessly. I highly recommend

Everything is very delicious

The atmosphere here is still amazing and the clientele is great, but ever since the new owners took over, things have gone downhill. The buffet prices have gone up, while the food quality has gone way down. It feels like the new management is only focused on making a profit rather than providing the same quality experience this place was once known for. Very disappointing.
