We arrived around 8pm on a Thursday. We were greeted by the bartender, who ended up being our…read morewaiter. He was friendly and did a splendid job checking in and making sure all was good. The atmosphere is pleasant, with background music. The building has old charm, but at the same time seemed new and fresh. We started with fried calamari, which V said was the best he had in a while. I suspect it should have been taken out of the fryer a few seconds sooner, as I detected a hint that the breading was slightly burnt. I ordered a chopped salad with grilled chicken. It was quite tasty and had generous portions of blue cheese and bacon, yummy. V had a Lamb Chop which came with mashed potatoes. He enjoyed his meal, it the lamb was cooked well done, just like he ordered. We shared a slice of Blueberry Cheesecake, and it was the perfect finish to the meal. We would definitely come back again, from hospitality, to atmospher and food, it's a very good experience.

Came here to celebrate my anniversary back in May and was highly pleased with the whole experience…read more Our waiter was amazing was very thorough while going over the menu and all of the specials. The appetizers and entrées were great. I was pregnant at the time so I asked if they had any mocktail specials, the bartender made me a delicious drink! At the end of the dinner, our waiter came out with a slice of cake wishing us a happy anniversary. Overall, everything was great and would come here again!

To all my foodie friends, I officially have a NEW #1 STEAK SANDWICH!…read more Their legendary Poorboy--steak, melted cheese, grilled onions and hot garlic butter--was phenomenal. Simple, old-school and absolutely delicious. I've eaten my share of steak sandwiches over the years, but Merichka's now sits at the TOP OF MY LIST!

Service was good especially for our large table. Onion rings are always good! The remainder of the…read moredinners, the classic Poor Boy steak sandwich, Spicy Fried chicken poor boy, fried cod, all were mediocre, at best. Substituted onion rings for fries with the chicken poor boy and was charged the appetizer price (small order $9.65). Waiter wasn't clear on that...... Usually, the classic Poor Boy steak sandwich is mouth watering good but not during this visit. Steak was too dry and not enough garlic butter. The fried cod had an overly thick and hard breading with not much taste. Very disappointed this visit! For the prices charged we all expected better.

It's a small space and it definitely gets crowded, but that's part of the charm. You're packed in, close to the stage, and fully in it with everyone else. There is an upstairs balcony if you want a break from the floor, but most of the action is general admission and the sound down there is really solid. Loud, clear, and exactly what you want for a show like this. They sell food but I can't speak to that as I've never gotten it but it always smells good. Free parking nearby is a huge bonus and makes the whole night way easier. If you like intimate shows, sweaty crowds, and good sound, this is absolutely the spot.

Authentic Polish food and some fusion that oddly works…read more. Stuffed cabbage,, pork chops, potato pancakes and the Polish pizza bread stood out. And then, there's Paczki (Polish donuts) mmmm! The food is made to order and can take up to 25 minutes but we got our order in less time than that. The place is cozy and kept clean and the service was fantastic. Highly recommend if you are looking for something that is just like mom ( or grandma ) used to make or just looking for some comfort food prepared with love and care. Reminds me of my childhood growing up in Poland.

Arrived on a calm Tuesday evening an hour before close: two kids, three adults. Greeted by friendly…read morestaff. Ordered Black Sheep Polish Sampler platter, Polish gyro sandwich, 2 ham & barley soup bowls, zapiekanka (Polish pizza bread), potato and cheese pierogies, one order of fries, two orders potato pancakes. What a spread. Potato pancakes were exceptional. Fried to perfection served with applesauce and sour cream. The cabbage soup was very tasty: chunks of Polish sausage, cabbage, barley, minced vegetables. Delicious. Polish euro sandwich was interesting. Tasty combination of Polish sausage cheese inside a (homemade ?) Bun. Pierogies were fantastic; each one serve served with a bit of grilled onions. Pizza bread was a bit steep, as well as the soup at $8.99/bowl. With prices going up, can't blame them. Overall good food. Nice touches with the interior design. We look forward to returning. Also, Missy is the best! Come check out this spot.

The service was superlative, and the ambiance warm and friendly.

With so many people, the dinner was a bit slow to come out all at once, but well worth the short wait. It was hot and perfectly cooked. And there was lots of it. You won't leave hungry. Only one young gentleman to bus, serve, and accommodate us. He kept the orders straight, was attentive and provided excellent service. The owner (I presume) came out a few times to chat and say goodbye. A very cordial atmosphere! The menu is extensive, mostly chicken, beef, and sea food. No pork that I saw. We left happy and satisfied!!! A wonderful place that we'll put on our go-to places! Jim Thomas / DeKalb

What a great gem of the authentic Peruvian cuisine we acquired in Sycamore. Lovely atmosphere,…read moreattentive service and most importantly very tasty cuisine. My ceviche de pescado made of chopped white fish marinated in fresh lime citrus juices, garlic, ginger and rocoto chili and served with sweet potatoes and Peruvian corn was absolutely delicious with its very balanced flavor. My friends tasted 2 different types of chicken dishes ( Pollada Peruana and Milanese de pollo ) and loved both of them. I noticed that the chicken was not heavily breaded which is a considerable plus. I like that the restaurant varies its special offerings on the weekends that they publish on Facebook. I will be back soon to try the new dishes at this cozy restaurant!
