Incredible, authentic, and home-made: this neighborhood gem is a must. Come hungry and leave cozy.
Well, if you have Polish heritage, it is the best you can achieve in Chicago. Has that Bar Mleczko vibe. Honored to have packed into my itinerary.

First time trying authentic Polish. Food was wonderful and made fresh. Quiet, clean, and simple atmosphere. Great service. Wonder how Polish people would rate it? But we loved everything...except maybe blah strudel.

Authentic, homemade Polish food. Reasonable prices, big portions, restaurant has a high scale feeling to it, smaller restaurant so tables fill up quickly, easy to have a conversation while eating since it’s not a very loud restaurant. The meatballs in mushroom sauce were excellent. Everyone loved their entrees! I read that this is a family owned placed, 2 sisters took over after their dad passed away and have kept the tradition alive. The Perogi and red Borsht (spelling🙊) soup also excellent! I will be back for sure.

We have eaten here a number of times. We don't live close by or it would be many times. It's one of the best Polish restaurants around. Now I'm in the mood for their food. We might have to take a ride.

Cozy, local, polish restaurant from Jefferson Park. You won’t know about it unless you’re passing by. Everything I ordered was phenomenal and prepared deliciously perfect. I ordered carryout and all the food tasted to what I feel was standard and presented exceptionally. I’m definitely going to dine-in for our next turn around when we come back. Which we will definitely be back. We ate the polish food assortment and the Hungarian pancake. Best goulash I’ve ever had! Wow!

Food was fantastic. Just like it came out of Grandma's kitchen. Pierogis were excellent, so was stuffed cabbage, breaded pork tenderloin and mashed real potatoes. Highly recommend for Polish food.

We were from out-of-state my aunt and uncle brought us here. I am Polish and have never been to a Polish restaurant. This place is amazing authentic. I can't remember everything we ordered but I had the breaded pork chop and it was so good! I think we had the sauerkraut and sweet cream perogies my aunt ordered. Great service, quiet and welcoming atmosphere. My aunt and uncle go all the time from my understanding. When we visit again we would like to go there.

We had a great experience at this restaurant! Everything we tried was full of flavor and really well prepared. The meat dishes were especially tender, and the potato options were all super tasty and unique. The atmosphere was cozy and welcoming, and the service was friendly without being overbearing. We also got a few small appetizers before our mains, which was a nice surprise. Definitely a spot we’d come back to!

Very nice clean restaurant in Jefferson Park where I met my friend for dinner. I ordered Polish food assortment with stuffed cabbage, breaded pork chop, sausage, 2 pierogi, mashed potatoes and beet salad. Very decent food, but not as flavorful as I have had at another. The pork chop was good and that is what my friend recommended. The food is fresh and homemade which is nice. Service was cordial.
