    Great little Polish spot, they do it right! Being an east coast American and not a northern European I like to eat at noon (which was 1pm for me), and they were empty, 2 patrons in the whole place. They provided great service and excellent food, when in Chicago I'll go back. Recommended!

    Where should I start.....I was there yesterday with my family. The waitress who was finishing her shift tried to help us, but the new one who came in for the later shift snapped at her not to. It was around 545ish pm. After sitting there for 20 minutes, I finally got up and asked if we are going to have someone take care of us. Once she finally came out, she had a huge attitude. It took about an hour to get our food. She came to check up on us once we were finally finished. Again, after another 45 minutes of waiting I had to go inside to get the check. She started yelling at me that I should have told her that the check was going to be split in two. I told her to subtract 4 items and she said she couldn't so I took the check and had to do it myself. When my check was 130, I gave her 70 in cash. When she brought the check to my cousin, somehow it ended up being 180. The fact that she tried to yell at me is beyond unprofessional. If you hate your job so much then maybe you should pick a different profession. I work in the service industry and to have a server act like this is beyond embarrassing for the establishment. It was very disappointing. The patio is beautiful and the food wasn't that bad. The service was so awful that I had to share. It's not worth getting your nerves ruined like that by some idiot who thinks it's ok to yell at everyone. Very unprofessional and made it one of the worst experiences I ever had in this industry.

    This place is amazing from the staff to the food there’s no other Place to be for polish food. Having the food as dime is is a plus but food is just as good for delivery the patio is cute on a warm evening to have cocktails along with your food. I highly recommend this place it’s close to the airport small Uber ride also rosemont area fir fast delivery you won’t be disappointed this is homestyle polish food

    Greatest selection of Polish food - always taste and smell so good, beautiful garden and friendly atmosphere. My personal favorite chicken breast with veggies (only in special:) potatoes pancakes with stew and all desserts, so yummy!

    I was gonna try this place for the 1st time with a friend, we were gonna have a few drinks and some food. We walked in and out right away. I hope this tall lady with brown hair isn't the owner because I would feel bad for the customers and the employees. She was yelling at what I think was a employee right in front of others that were there, and if she is the owner she needs to learn how to do better, if she's not the owner she needs to be fired for putting on a show like that in front of customers. As we walked out a man walked in and I asked if he knew the lady, he said her name is aneta or Anita who knows anyway good luck if you go there.

    The Hungarian Pancake - a potato pancake with goulash and beef inside was amazing. Want to see if we can recreate it at home.

    Decent polish and American food, nothing super special. Family likes “Hungarian potato pancake with meat or the Wersalski kotlet” The service is… slow. We’ve been there a few times and each time bar guests take priority over restaurant guests. Every time we really wait long time, but last time was ridiculous. The lady took our order and half an hour later came to say that one of 4 orders cannot be made becuase they are out of chicken, no matter what one of our people ordered, she would come back saying they didn’t have it. Ok, I can understand they ran out of food but listen to this - she brings 2 other orders, taking new one for the person that was unlucky picking out of stock food, and then she realizes that she never gave 4th person order to the kitchen. Funny enough - that’s the person who was having a birthday that day and also was convincing us to come there… he waited really really long time. It was not a fun experience. Other than this, They have a nice patio outside to seat end enjoy during warmer months. Inside is looking ok as well.

    Apparently they don’t want customers. Just went to give them a try. Nobody at any of the tables at 6:30 PM should have been a clue. Woman in the kitchen clearly saw me but chose to close the door without even speaking to me. A guy came through from the bar to speak with her. Same deal…not a word. After 10 minutes I gave up and left.
