“We had a memorial lunch at the Jolly Inn this past Friday and it was beyond amazing. Couldn't have asked for more. Maria the server was absolutely delightful and so professional. She made sure we had everything we needed. Everyone in the group raved about how great she was. Thank You so much Maria. The food was fabulous. No one went away hungry for sure. So much variety and everything was fresh, hot and very flavorful. The little room we were in was just perfect for our size group and the ambiance was wonderful. We felt like we were special and it made a day of mourning for us a little easier. Thank You so much for all you did to make the luncheon something that people didn't want to leave.“

Not just pierogi ---Gelato, soups, empanadas, tamales, pizza pie (takes 50 mins to make from scratch and worth it!!) Premium Belgium chocolates, shakes, Coffee and most recent.....160 (yes one hundred and sixty) different premium teas from around the world!!.....and more to come!

You can tell they have a passion for the business. HIGHLY recommend! ENJOY!“

“family owned, need to try it,“

“We had the Polish plates with added soups, cucumber salad, and cheese blintzes. Excellent, authentic Polish food, very similar to what my Babka used to make. The mushroom soup was especially tasty. Highly recommended!“

“I was surprised by the atmosphere of the party organized there, live music, very good dinner, especially the chicken. Service on a huge++
All the positives outweigh the parking issues, although honestly it was quite easy to find a parking space on the street.
I sincerely recommend it, especially for special events.“

“Decided to call in and pick up my order today rather than pay ubereats fees. This place was beautiful inside and outside the patio looked like a tropical getaway. I cannot wait to go back an dine in or out on the patio. Definitely a place to visit if you are looking for something different! Food has always been amazing as well!“

“Tata's Pierogi in Franklin Park is a hidden gem for pierogi lovers! Their outlet store offers an impressive variety of delicious pierogi at incredibly reasonable prices. Whether you're a fan of traditional fillings or want to try something unique, there's something for everyone. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area!“

“Great place, delicious food, wonderful atmosphere and amazing people. Thank you Milada!“

“1st time in. Bought a variety of smoked meats. Everything was excellent, including the customer service. We will be regular customers.“

“This place is amazing. I got the Mexican omelette and it was everything I hoped it would be. The wait staff is outstanding and treat you how you want to be treated. They were very fast and the Mimosas are a huge draw. It’s worth every penny I don’t miss one cent of it. It’s always a good feeling when you don’t leave a restaurant disappointed with the taste. I’ll be coming here at least once a week from now on!“

“### Doodle Review: The Original Maxwell Beef Polish in Chico off the 290

I recently visited The Original Maxwell Beef Polish in Chico off the 290 and had an amazing experience. I ordered a polish with everything on it, along with greasy fries and cheese sauce. The polish was the star of the show—perfectly cooked, juicy, and packed with flavor.

The fried pork chop was decent but could have used a bit more seasoning to really stand out. However, the overall meal was fantastic, and the customer service was top-notch.

One fun note: be prepared to tip the friendly onlookers, or you might feel like you’re getting "robbed"—just kidding! The atmosphere adds to the charm, and the food is definitely worth it. Great food, great service, and an all-around great experience.“

“Tried for the first time today. Started with the Polish Pizza ( as they called it). It was so delicious! I wish I had gotten more. Bought some potato pancakes and dropped them off to a coworker and she texted me within the hours saying they were so good! Can’t wait to dig into more of the food later tonight.“

“Came for the ayce buffet. Pretty good variety on the salad bar. Two soups featured and decent selection of protein. Fried chicken, sliced beef in au jus, fried fish, potatoe pancakes were tasty and worth the $17 lunch price. Waitress was on top with clearing my plate and filling my water glass. The ambiance was definitely old school and I was ok with it. Nice and old feel but the restrooms could use a remodel and the dining room carpet needs a deep cleaning. I'll be back for another round.“

“I love this restaurant!! Perfect place to go to sample many Polish favorites, or to have a group meal (shower, birthday party, family gathering etc.) in the semi-private back room. All the food is really fresh and well prepared, just like Grandma used to make at home. It Is a buffet, so there are many choices to please every taste level. Desserts are in small portions, which I find very thoughtful, so you can sample more than one item without over doing it. You can also prepare a to-go box of favorites to take home, for an additional 'per pound' charge. The wait staff is welcoming, kind and efficient as well. Adult beverages of cocktails, wine and beer are available, in addition to coffee, tea, milk, and sodas. I enjoy 6-7 visits per year, and am never disappointed.“

“They have great selection of deli meat and their soups are great. I am addicted to their cheesecake.“

“We went recently to the Easter brunch. While the food was lovely, the prices did go up quite a bit over the last year. Given the rise in prices, it seems absurd to charge for soft drinks above the cost of the brunch. My family spent nearly $1000 for our party of 16. We prepaid with the reservation. Yet after the brunch we are handed a $30 bill for soft drinks. Again, that just seems absurd. After the brunch, I looked at competing menus and prices for equivalent brunches and I think we may start exploring other options, which is a shame as we have consistently being doing this brunch for years. But the price is much higher than other places and the drink bill put it over the edge. The grass may not be greener at these other places, but it’s worth exploring.“

“We loved the place & the food. Wish I had felt like a drink😊Welcoming!“

“We would like to express our gratitude and appreciation to The Local Tavern partner who supported Wisloka Chicago team in the UPSL interstate semi-pro league. Thanks to your generous support, our club is in the place that few years ago we could only dream about. Big applause for you 🔝🔝🔝🤝🤝🤝 🟢⚪️“
