Very disappointed, We went here after my Gram's funeral, it is most certainly not ADA compliant. They sat us downstairs, and sat 5 others upstairs because they have no elevator or way of getting downstairs. It was very unfortunate that on one of the saddest days we couldn't celebrate grams life together as a family. I will say the say the serving staff was friendly and efficient. The food was good. I wouldn't say it was worth the prices that were paid per person. But it wasn't terrible. read more

This is a bit far from the usual places we go for Polish food. It's located in Justice, IL. It's kind of a quiet, small town. The good news is that they have late hours, they don't close at 8 pm like most places. The staff was friendly and attentive. Food portions were very generous, you will have leftovers for sure. Prices are very typical of this cuisine. You'll have to walk up the steps to go inside. We ordered Highlander soup with smoked rib, tripe soup, Polish plate number 2, and Bavarian style pork shank. -Highlander soup with smoked rib 5 - the broth is sour due to it being sauerkraut, but you have to eat it with the smoked rib and potatoes. I ordered the cup so it looks like a bowl size. -tripe soup 5 - this is a good soup. We got the cup size, it's good for a cold night. -Polish plate number 2 5 - it comes with two stuffed cabbage rolls, Polish sausage, 6 meat pierogis, and dumplings. You can choose your side. I chose dumplings. Everything was delicious. Polish sausage was tender and juicy. Cabbage rolls and pierogis were fully cooked. -Bavarian style pork shank 5 - you get two humongous pieces of pork shank and the meat falls easily off the bone. It was very tender. read more

Food was delicious. Never had potato dumplings, and I was surprised that those were my favorite. The baked chicken was

I love this place. Service is friendly, Nice clean atmosphere. Best of all, the food is delicious!!

First have to say that we had a wonderful server Lumina. Friendly and welcoming. The food was amazing. Portion size gigantic. The winners were the pork cutlet, Polish plate , beet soup, sauerkraut/ mushroom pierogis and the beets and cucumber salads. Only issue was the broken outside elevator. Mom had hard time with stairs. And we were hoping to have a party for my mother here but our disabled sister could never go up the stairs. Hopefully it will be fixed so we can come back. read more

Excellent catering. Pork cutlet is the best I've ever had very good food very friendly.

If you want an authentic Polish meal, this is the place to come. We wondered into this restaurant before a Fire game just down the street and decided to get a mix of their starters. We went with pierogis (cheese and meat), cabbage roles and the polish baguette. All were very authentic and extremely tasty. Our service was excellent especially for a Saturday evening with a lot of large groups and families that were there. Definitely a place to try if you are ever in the western suburbs! read more

We wanted to try Polish food while in Chicago and we're so glad we chose this restaurant to try! The waitress was very nice and we enjoyed all the food we ordered. It was a lot of food for 2 and we brought some leftovers home. I recommend trying this place if you want authentic Polish food! read more

Szarotka - Cabbage rolls with Mushroom sauce, kielbasa and kraut, Polish Dumplings, and Sweet Cheese Pierogos - Bars Near Me - Justice, Illinois

Food: my second visit after few years, can't forget the taste of the sausage & the cabbage roll. Service: seems they were having a wedding event when we arrived, staffs are so busy and takes 20-30min waiting for the food. But the staff are nice as always. Ambiance: very cozy place, each table has its own shape, the gambling machine is very rare decoration in other restaurants. Price: $30+/ 2ppl read more

Szarotka - Polish Plate #2 - Bars Near Me - Justice, Illinois

The food was delicious! We ordered a good variety of dishes, and everyone enjoyed their meal.

Stitch visited Szarotka in Justice, Illinois and found a cozy spot serving up classic Polish comfort food. The menu proudly states that everything is fresh and nothing comes from a can--Stitch likes that! He started with the potato pancakes, which were big and crispy but a little bland, so maybe choose a different appetizer next time. But then came the Polish Plate #2--whoa, it was huge! Easily enough for two Earthlings (or one very hungry Stitch). The plate had two tender cabbage rolls, tasty dumplings, pierogi, Polish sausage with sauerkraut, and a refreshing cucumber salad. Everything was delicious and super reasonably priced--Stitch got a beer, appetizer, and meal for two for just $45! Stitch says: give this place a try and come hungry! read more

This is definitely the best polish place for authentic food around. The potato pancakes were fantastic. You can get a plate #1 and spilt between 2 people. Comes with Polish sausage, perogi, stuffed cabbage, saurerkraut, dumplings and sides. Im going back again. read more

OMG, I can't believe I didn't know about this place before. A neighbor told us about a restaurant she & a friend went to for leg of lamb. The only place they ever found that served it. While I am not a fan of lamb we offered to take the neighbor back there since it had been awhile. I had no idea it was a Polish restaurant until I read the menu, then I got excited to go. We were not disappointed. So many Polish dishes that my Mom, Busia & Cioc made growing up I wanted to try them all. The portions are HUGE & while everything was not exactly how my family made them we enjoyed it so much we can't wait to go back. It's a bit of a ride for us but well worth it. Can't wait to go back! Also, the waitress (I assumed the owner) was so fun to talk to about Poland & traditions too. read more

Food is so good. Menu says nothing is from a can. I got a polish platter which is enough for 2, so I had dinner and lunch the next day. I got the mushroom sauce on the cabbage rolls but I'd try the tomato sauce next time. read more

I've had a few Polish dishes in the past but nothing like a true authentic dish from a true Polish restaurant. While in Chicago we try to sample different foods and dining experiences the city has to offer and managed to come across Szarotka's restaurant. We were not disappointed. In one word, Delicious! The service was great as we were promptly greeted and seated at a comfortable table for four. The area is good for families yet well suited for larger events and larger meals. I sampled a chicken dish bathed in a very unique teriyaki sauce with mushrooms and vegetables. My side of sauerkraut and mashed potatoes completed my meal. We also had a Polish Plate No. 1 which was a combination of sausage, sauerkraut, pierogies, and cabbage rolls. Our dinning companions had a side of potato pancakes and cucumber salad (we had to sample) The best potato pancakes! read more

Good but... More of a Polish/American fusion. Very fresh & made to order, but not your typical Polish restaurant. Housed in a lounge, it had no "ethnic" decor whatsoever. Background music was house /dance music (some in Portuguese?). Borscht soup(?) was a broth w.o. any beet pieces. Pork tenderloin needed seasoning. Suiteed mushrooms, Cuke salad A+++. Potato pancakes were very thick & mushy inside. No Rye bread/butter/etc. on the table. $71.00 for my wife & me (w.o. any drinks). All in all I can't recommend. read more

Absolutely delicious. Good value for the money. Very nice people. Went back the very next day for more.

Homemade from scratch soups, potato pancakes and pierogis?? Kind service ( waiter was so nice) and old skool cold and dark banquet hall decor plus a full bar and slots... Old skool Polish rules!!! Huge servings and yummy homemade everything!! Yes we will be back!!! read more

The service was quick and the food was good. Best Polish menu I've seen anywhere outside of Poland.

Nice neighborhood restaurant. Ample parking in their lot. Lift chair for handicapped access. Clean, simple decor. Greeted on entry, self seating. Prompt attention by server, limited wine selection, I believe full bar service is available. Sampler plate 1 included delightful grilled smoked sausage, cheese pierogi with bacon, tasty but not overly tart sauerkraut, mashed potatoes, and gołubki with choice of tomato or mushroom gravy. Both were requested on the side. I've always liked tomato sauce-that's how my mom and Boosh made it-but the mushroom gravy was rich and very flavorful. I may have to switch my preference! My only negative thought is that the gołubki needs more meat and less rice in the filling! Limited selections for dessert, the cheesecake with berry sauce was satisfying. read more

Food was wonderful. The potato pancakes were huge and delicious. However they made the Polish was 1 of the best I've ever had. Same for the rest of the food. Highly recommend and will be back soon read more

Everything here was amazing! Service was great, best potato pancake ever! Food was incredible!

Have wanted to visit here for quite some time. Finally made it and the food and service were amazing. Very authentic old-school Polish food.

Let's start with SERVICE, how does Great sound!!! Our server was very accommodating helpful and soo nice and friendly made this very enjoyable, food was delicious, freshly made, flavorful and plenty!!! We took home leftovers that made an additional meal. Definitely a lot of bang for our bucks.

Took my family for dinner tonight. The food was fantastic and the staff were attentive and fun, Lumina was a sweetheart. So much was familiar and so much was new. Its hard to find food that compares to home made but they knocked it out of the park. Let's start with the Potato Pancakes: Not the flat greasy things that you get at other places but big, thick, deliciousness that don't even require sour cream or apple sauce. The Gloabki: They weren't what I was expecting, as I have never had one that could touch my wife's. These were filled with rice and meat, I say that because there was more rice than meat. However they were possibly the best that we've ever had. The mushroom sauce was delicious and the tomato sauce was tasty with a touch of caraway. Sooo good. Pierogi:: Delicious and tender. Next time I will ask if we could get them fried a little. Sausage & Kraut: Delicious, Delicious, Delicious. Cheesecake: Amazing. With a blackberry/wine sauce and whipped cream. I could talk about them forever, but I'll just say. Dziękuję za wspaniałą noc Szarotka. read more

Fabulous food fabulous service! Very generous portions. We really love to take the drive down there. Sometimes we order dinners and sometimes we split different dishes because everything is just so delicious! read more

What an excellent meal we had. They don't have sweet and sour cabbage but I added a little sugar to the sauerkraut and it was lovely. Their breaded pork tenderloin is huge and tender and delicious. The mashed potatoes and potato dumplings are excellent. Gravy is pretty good. The potato pancakes are awesome. Thick. We had a very nice gentleman serving us who was very accommodating. I initially ordered the pork shank and it was a little too fatty and a little less meaty for me so I asked if I could send it back and he took it with a smile on his face. Would definitely definitely come back here. read more

Was here today for the first time with our (almost) entire family after funeral service for our mom. This place is truly a hidden gem. Food was exceptionally fresh and generous potions all cooked to perfection as if you were in momma's kitchen. Will definitely be returning to Szarotka probably sooner then I think. Dumplings, mashed potatoes, beet salad tossed salad, beef in gravy. Roasted chicken, breaded pork tenderloin, sauerkraut all made to order. Nothing reheated here. Staff was hard working on point and friendly.THank you Szarotka's! See you soon! Debbie Cwick read more

Met my 3 girl cousins + spouses for the Holidays menu online was intriguing and did not disappoint! Our only mistake was going too early 11:00am. It be way better for dinner.

We will be back! read more

Food was plentiful and the staff was super friendly. The ambience has room for improvement.

Came across this Polish restaurant on Yelp. The guests dining there mostly speak foreign language, so we thought this place must be authentic! Turn out the food was truly amazing! The pierogi, stuffed cabbage rolls, bratwurst, and the cucumber salad came with it were really good, just as I thought. The potato pancake and pork stew was surprisingly tasty! I usually don't like potato pancake, but it absorbs the sauce from the meat stew so it's flavorful:) read more
