Great food!
Delicious!!
Food was amazing and it tasted so home made. Definitely missed some polish cuisine and this is the place to go. Super authentic as well.

We went there for the first time (my wife, her mother, and I) after hearing some good things from friends. Unfortunately, our experience didn’t quite live up to the hype. I ordered the Ruskie Pierogi, which somehow came out sweet. Potatoes and cheese… sweet. When we pointed this out to our server (Eliszka), we were told with a straight face that it was “the pepper’s fault.” Sure. That explains everything. (As well because I had them fried we were told that that’s another reason why they were sweet)
When it came time to pay, we politely asked to have the pierogi removed from the bill since we’d already sent them back to the kitchen. Apparently, that was a problem and it was not brought to our attention when we mentioned it to our server. Our server insisted she couldn’t take them off because, according to her, “there was nothing wrong with them” because that’s just how they’re supposed to taste. Which is funny, because I’ve had Ruskie Pierogi at countless Polish restaurants in Chicago and in Poland itself over the years, and not once have they ever been sweet. No matter if they were fried or not. So that excuse? Not exactly convincing.
After a bit of back and forth, the pierogi were eventually taken off the bill but not before we were told that “next time” we shouldn’t order because they won’t do that. Spoiler alert: there won’t be a next time anyway.
And the cherry on top? As our lovely server turned her back to walk away, we clearly heard her mutter, “Whatever.” And I will not mention what she said while checking us out. Just because music is playing doesn’t mean we don’t hear what the server is saying.
Now does that customer service really makes you want to come back?

Polish people really need to stop destroying conservative American Protestant culture.

Food here is very good. I had the Polish plate, and my wife had the Trout. Both were very good. Music a bit loud from the bar attached, but we didn't mind it. Service was a little sparce, But nice server. We will be back again.
