Our guide was a retired school teacher that thoroughly enjoyed talking up all the wonderful things happening here. The tour ends at the cafeteria right at lunch time so where else are you going to go? The cafeteria is set up self serve by food type. They had Chinese, American style grill, salad bar, and other options. Prices were very reasonable for the Chicago area. All the employees eat here so you could conceivably sit at a table with an astrophysicist. It did end up being one of the most affordable meals we had all week.

Cause, um, there isn't one. Yeah, nothing to see there. Nothing at all!

Compared to similar restaurants in this space, I prefer to go here with friends for its generally quieter atmosphere and overall vibe. Maybe the biggest complaint here is that the food preparation can be a bit inconsistent between dishes, and between different meat types. That is, that the output can range from delicious to somewhat average (and sometimes overcooked), depending on what you order. For example the birria was super flavorful and served with very crisp tacos and a delicious consomme, but the cilantro-lime rice and refried beans felt like an afterthought. The smoked pork belly quesadillas had a great flavor and just about the right amount of fattiness that was short of perfection due to the pork being overcooked. The tres leches cake also had a great creaminess and flavor to it, but parts of the cake weren't really soaked in the milk at all, which created an inconsistent experience - depending on where I took the bite. On everything I tried though, the presentation was excellent and there were enough great things about each dish to overcome some of the shortfalls. Overall though, I feel with improved execution on ensuring that all elements of the dishes are equally good in terms of texture and flavor -- there's a lot to love about Ancho & Agave. But even in its current state, it's still an enjoyable spot to take a group of friends for tasty food in an impressive looking spot.

We had the absolute RUDEST experience with someone checking us in for a lunch reservation. We had a…read more12:30 reservation- walked in around 12:32. When we told our name for our reservation we were told it was going to be about 10 more minutes- even though the restaurant was half full. I was super confused because the entire bar was open and there were at least 10-12 open tables. The person checking us in goes "what you've never had that happen before?" - referring to having to wait for a table - SO incredibly off-putting and condescending. I told her she was being rude and she got defensive and giving us all these excuses- that the kitchen was backed up, etc. We immediately walked out. We were fine with the waiting but the way this employee handled things was insane. The way this should have been handled, and how it's handled in hundreds of other restaurants we've been to is: offer to sit us at the bar or ask if we want to get seated and then tell us there's a back up. or even say "I'm so sorry" Like at least show SOME hospitality. I emailed the location to say all of the above, and they did offer to send us something in the mail, but I will not be accepting. There are so many businesses in this area, go somewhere else that appreciates you as a customer.

When you walk in, you can order breakfast items at the front, or head farther inside to order hot food cafeteria-style, which keeps the line moving surprisingly fast. We shared the pastrami sandwich, corned beef sandwich, matzo ball soup, latkes, and zrazy. My favorites were the zrazy and both the corned beef and pastrami sandwiches. It was my first time trying zrazy, and I really enjoyed it. The potato coating was crispy on the outside, and the meat filling was well-seasoned and full of flavor. Would definitely recommend this item. I was a little disappointed by the latkes. They tasted like they had been fried a while earlier and weren't served very warm or crispy, which was a letdown.

Takes me back to grade school. They take your order up front where the chefs cook your food right in front of you. You then take your tray and scoot on over, add beverages and whatever else to your order and at the end of the line - you pay. Everyone was super nice and friendly - gives off that old school diner where everyone is family. Just got a basic breakfast meal that consisted of eggs, sausage, and a side of pancakes. Ordered some bacon on the side. Everything was really good and the sausage was deliciously crisp and had that "snap". The pancakes were soft and fluffy. The price is also very reasonable. Also, they have Barack Obama breakfast specials. So cool as it looks like our former President frequently ate here as he has pictures up on their wall with the workers. I highly recommend and will be back.

The food was decent, we ordered and everything omelette, a steak, omelette, bacon, and egg, breakfast sandwich, hashbrowns, grits, pancakes, and bacon. The omelettes were a little undercooked. They were slimy and runny on the inside. Everything else was pretty good. The service was good. There was one lady behind the counter, amongst all the men, she was nice. They have ladies at the tables that come and serve you water. Not sure that I'd ever come back if ever in Chicago again, but today it was a good refuge from the rain.

There's a small parking lot in the back but that was full so we parked on the street. We were immediately seated and drink orders were taken as well as soup (which is included). Drinks are added separately and not inclusive of the $34 per person. I had the borscht and that was tasty and comforting. My brother in law didn't waste any time and he immediately got his first plate going. My sister and I took our time to enjoy the soup. I then started with the appetizers and tried the different salads. It was cool to see they had aspic since that's not something you see often either. When I eventually made my way to the warm food, I was overwhelmed by all the choices. I tried to take one of everything but even then it was too much so I didn't get to try it all. The meats that I did try were super tender and juicy. They definitely know what they're doing with the meats! The dessert area had so many different options. There was cake, flan and cheesecakes. So many to choose from! I think I just love Polish food in general because of the comfort food aspect. The proteins are usually simmered in gravy and you get to pair it with potatoes cooked in all sort of ways! My sister was adventurous and just started putting random stuff on her plate that I've never seen before. She found the meat spread and that was surprisingly good too. If you're ever in the area, try to go before the dinner rush. It's a great space and is deserving of the title "Largest Polish buffet in Chicagoland".
