    My sister and I decided to treat my brother in law here for his birthday. He found out that a Polish buffet existed around here so he had to go! We went before the dinner rush on a Saturday. 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".

    One of my employees came into town for work and demanded that we visit this legendary restaurant. I had heard about it here and there but was not aware of the hidden gem I was so close to for so long. While this is a "buffet style", the service is extremely friendly and helpful. There's a very wide selection of options that all look amazing! And everything I got proved that to be correct. This is a great, cozy experience that is only open on the weekends and is totally worth a visit.

    Great selection, friendly service, delicious food. My only complaint would be the polish sausage was a little dry and tough, but it was sitting out on a buffet, so... The rest of the food was above average, kind of like my grandma used to make. I certainly got my money's worth with the delicious food. Highly recommend!

    Buffet is amazing and the mashed potatoes are delicious and the stuff cabbage rolls are delicious too . They are so yummy

    First time here and I was in love at first bite. The food is amazing and very tasty and the service was excellent I never had to ask for a refill on my drink and the waitress was so friendly and polite I can't wait to go back

    Booth seating on the bar side. Plenty more seating available.

    See all

    Not for me, too expensive for such a small/limited selections. Food are just ok. It wasn't satisfying, for me.
