We found this restaurant by accident and are so glad we did. The food is phenomenal and so much of it! We started with a bowl, not a cup of Beef Goulash. It was a meal in itself. I brought the remainder home and we ate it twice. Delicious. Moved on to the Breaded Pork Chops with Bread Dumplings and Cucumber Salad made with vinegar and it too was delicious. Again brought a bunch home with extra gravy and had another 2 meals. SIL also had a stuffed cabbage and loved it! You also get a dessert to finish the meal. Cannot say enough good things about the food. Also service was outstanding and the place is cozy and clean. If you like Ethnic Eastern European cuisine this is the place to try! read more

Westchester Inn - Huge Portions! - Czech Near Me - Westchester, Illinois

Wow! For a small restaurant, there was a lot of great food. The server was really attentive. He had a lot of tables but checked on me often. I even got good for my picky eater. I got chicken schnitzel and he got Wiener schnitzel. We'll have food for tomorrow, too! Yay!! Music and conversations are in the background, but it's still easy to talk and hear whomever wants to talk. read more

I will not be going back to that place again. First of all the guy at the cash register asked me "how many" and I told him 4 to 6 persons. Then he told me he needs to know exactly, because it's a small cramped place. Then he said I had to wait. He didnt even offer me one of the tables that could accompany my party that was comin in 5 minutes. During that time of waiting I counted 3 tables being used and there was about 6 tables empty. Then when we finally got seated and ordered. I ordered a bowl of liver dumpling soup and then the waitress told me I needed to pay an extra 3 dollars extra for that bowl of soup that cost about $4.50 to begin with cuz dat was their rule. And lastly the soup wasn't thst good anyway. So save yourself grief and find a better place to spend your hard earned money because they dont apparently need because of their exorbitant prices. They were rude to me and im telling all my friends to stay away from that place. It ain't worth it. read more

First time here. Recommend by a friend. Our server was phenomenal! It's a smaller place, tight seating but a clean restaurant. The food was phenomenal. I loved my breaded pork tenderloin. It was well done and not overcooked. I cannot wait to go back again! read more

Everyone liked the taste of the food they ordered. Chicken, schnitzel, breaded, pork tenderloin, and roast pork. My wife LOVED the cucumber salad that came as her desert. The Kolosky was very tasty also. I was very disappointed that the potato dumplings were not ready considering we arrived at 1:45 PM. I just don't understand this. The gravy was also a little on the weaker side however, the gravy they gave us to take home was thicker and had more flavor. I will give this another try. Hopefully they have the potato dumplings next time. read more

I want to make a trip back to Illinois to come here again! The best prices for an amazing amount of quality food... It's located in a strip mall but SO full of personality when you enter the doors. The wait staff was so kind and quick. The meal was huge--easily able to share and we just ordered one extra side. Tables, floor, bathroom--all super clean. read more

This is one of the few remaining Bohemian restaurants in the area. Located in a shopping mall, it has ample parking. Restaurant is small, casual and crowded. Hugh portions of generally good reasonable priced food. We tend to get the breaded pork tenderloin and roast duck dinners. Servings are generous. Service is fast with minimal conversation. My only negative comments are the gravy is somewhat bland (I learned you can upgrade) and dessert are fair. read more

The generous sized portions of the most delicious pork tenderloin will make you make this your favorite stop. The service is beyond amazing and the ambiance is one reminding you of "Sundays at grandma's". read more

Authentic Czech food, very generous portions. Cozy atmosphere and great service! This is a small restaurant so be prepared to wait. Had the roast duck with dumplings and sauerkraut, with a very generous pour of chablis. Will be back soon! read more

Best food I've had in quite a while. Highly recommend the stuffed cabbage, potato dumplings, liver dumpling soup, and apple strudel!!! Great food, service, cute atmosphere. Feel like I stepped into the 50s. read more

Be warned, if you go here with kids or someone who doesn't want an entree, they will charge you $3 per person who doesn't order an entree. Different from a "shared plate" fee (which they also charge). Even if you order sides for them. Such a SCAM! Also, they are ALWAYS running out of desserts which are included in the price. Good management would recognize they need to order or make more. Management was zero help when I tried speaking with them. A restaurant with good customer service would have, at a minimum, offered to waive the fee as a one- time courtesy and clarify the policy for next time but they don't have good customer service. Hope they can stretch those $3 because they lost a customer over it. read more

Came here with a friend who grew up eating Bohemian food. They seemed very happy and it was cute to see them reminisce with each bite over their childhood and meals at Grandma's. The food is hearty and plentiful but I didn't get the same wow effect with my dish despite it, Roast Pork Grandma's Style, being a house favorite. The meat, though fork tender, was dry and lacking in flavor. It could have used tons more of the caramelized onions it came with and gravy. About the gravy. It's another housed toted specialty and they serve a boat of it for the table but alas I found it thin and flavorless. To be fair my friend's dish, Svikova, was more interesting and truly tasteful. With a bit more salt and spice in all their items including the soup, dumplings and salad, the food could really elevate what should be a deeply satisfying experience. Our server was great and the prices were reasonable which I suppose keeps folks coming back. In the end, I am glad I got to try this place and enjoyed seeing my friend enjoy their time. But I don't need to come back any time soon despite lots of other interesting options like goulash and stuffed cabbage that make me wish i had a different outcome. read more

Overall mediocre, Im a thirsty guy, and they only refilled my water like twice . I should have brought some seasonings aswell. The food was very bland. I definitely felt out of place upon walking in the restaurant . The vibe of the place felt a bit off. read more

I saw this place listed on the pork tenderloin Facebook group and put it on the list for when we would be out in the burbs. Wow. This is just like the classic bohemian restaurants that have all disappeared. From the huge pork tenderloin to the bbq ribs to the bread dumplings and liver dumpling soup, it's all there. The only two things that were a bit weird were the kolatchke (more like a roll with jelly in the middle) and the gravy (too watery). Service was fast and friendly and we will definitely be back! read more

The Westchester Inn is legendary... BIG portions, 2 sides, soup, bread, coffee/tea, dessert ALL included! You have to know some things though: the decor is wood paneled walls, fake fabric/silk flowers, burgundy booths. The clientele using have walkers/canes. The restaurant is located in a strip mall. MOST patrons of The Westchester Inn don't need a menu- they know EXACTLY what they want. My family can rattle off the order of soups/sides/desserts. Our favorite: the breaded pork tenderloin, dumplings, cabbage, beef noodle soup, kolacky. If you're new, welcome! Keep in mind that this restaurant is the way it is. If you're returning, you already know all of this. read more

Food described as Bohemian, Hungarian. Service was excellent, I would give a 3.5. I was worried if I would be able to taste the flavors because my Sinuses were draining so bad. But everything that I had was satisfying. Menu options pork, chicken, beef, and seafood options simple. I ordered stuffed peppers but It seems like I had stuffed cabbage either way I didn't mind as I like both. My food wasn't really hot but it wasn't warm. The dumplings were good. The cucumber salad was yummy. I think if I return I may try goulash. Coffee...was nice and balanced. Dessert struessel was tasty with a few nice options. Ambiance felt like visiting a family restaurant. Everyone was so kind and the service quick. Parking is plentiful as it's in a mall like area. read more

I used to go there back in high school. Haven't been there for years, but I had a taste for breaded pork tenderloin and let me tell you you want old school Bahamian food and a good price. This is the place to go to. I had the combination for pork tenderloin Duck breast with mashed potatoes and gravy, sauerkraut and of course rye bread and butter. read more

One of the few places left to get true bohemian food. Everything was great food, service and ambiance

Food is usually good but sometimes their gravy is tasteless and watery!! There isn't many places to get Czech food anymore, sure miss Bohemian Crystal! read more

Delicious food, especially the breaded pork tenderloin. Everything is very fresh. We will be back. read more

Delicious comfort food!! Great service and a reasonable price! Would definitely go there again!

I normally am overjoyed with the quality and quantity of food that I receive whenever I go to the Westchester Inn. Today, I left a bit disappointed and a little hungry. I ordered what I assumed to be the large portion roast beef dinner, and I was charged the large portion price of $22.75. What I received was four modest-sized slices of beef, and smaller than normal scoops of mashed potatoes. I also noticed that the bread I received with the soup was sliced thinner than usual. I am wondering if the portion I got was actually a small portion, or if portion sizes had been cut down. The overall quality of the meal was decent, but I am accustomed to going to Westchester and being well-fed for my money. read more

One of the last left for Bohemian food. If you are going for lunch on the weekend, go at 1:00 pm after the crowd. Service was good. Rye bread fresh but a lighter rye than I like. Very generous portions. I like the breaded pork tenderloin, sauerkraut and bread dumplings. Everyone gets their own gravy boat. Hubby had ribs and meatloaf. Skip the meatloaf and mashed potatoes. Soup was bland. Gravy is a necessity as food can be dry. The strudel was ok, not very sweet which is good. I'll have the blueberry cake next time. Good value for the money, you will bring home enough for another meal. read more

Delicious pork tenderloin in a generous size! Mashed potatoes were perfectly seasoned and luscious. All our food was very tasty, with ample portions. Service was lovely, attentive, courteous, and added to the whole dining experience. Highly recommended. We'll be back again. read more

First time here for a late lunch with my wife. I found the food very good and served fresh and hot. We were not rushed and our server was properly attentive. The place itself was not modern but clean. The bathrooms are single use and a little tight. read more

Delicious food, excellent server, convenient parking. The breaded pork tenderloin and mashed potatoes with gravy were top notch.

First time here and it was great. Warmly greeted right away. Our waiter, a very nice young man took great care of us. We each had the breaded pork tenderloin and breaded cauliflower with dumplings and beef noodle soup. It was all just delicious. Meal comes with dessert, the strawberry kolacky was very good but more cake like than pastry that I'm used to. Also included coffee or tea so you do get a full meal which is rare most places these days. The carryout business seems very popular. We will be back. read more

Not sure what's going on at Westchester Inn, had lunch here today, the Turkey dinner which I have had before, today it was like the turkey was old, over cooked, so dry. Normally white meat, today below some white meat all dark. Not up to their usual standards. Stay away from the turkey. The stuffing was like a slick of bread, flat, not edible. read more

I remember coming here once well over a decade ago when I was younger so I didn't really appreciate this place as much. I came back for the first time since then with my parents and had a nice experience. The Westchester Inn is tucked away inside of a strip mall so it's pretty deceiving. The interior has wood paneled walls, plenty of seating, and just overall an old timey and cozy feel to it. The service is great, and it blows my mind that every entree comes with two sides and a dessert included in the already fair pricing structure. I opted for the beef soup which I just thought was ok, it was a little bland but it wasn't horrible, and the 1/4 breast portion of the islander duck with sauerkraut and dumplings. Like I said before, the portions are huge, everything was cooked well and was very tasty. The gravy was good but a little waterier than what I'm used to/was expecting. My mom always raves about the breaded pork tenderloin so she had that and loved it, and my dad has the roast pork with the cucumber salad which was awesome. I wish I would've opted for the cucumber salad instead of the sauerkraut (it was good, it was just a sweeter sauerkraut and I prefer more of the tangy kind). For dessert I had the blueberry coffee cake which was fine, but I can't really complain since the dessert came with the meal. Overall, the Westchester Inn is a great place to come to for a quality comfort meal with huge portions and fair pricing. I suggest coming early for dinner because this place gets packed. read more

the worst part of our experience was the service. They really don't care. Granted, it was PACKED- but we've been sitting there for 15 minutes with water and bread, but no service. We've asked 2 workers where our server was, and they just shrugged there shoulders and said idk. Finally our server came. She was kind ig but didn't really check up on us often, ask she practically ignored us while we were seated. One of the people working there spilt soup on my uncle lol... I don't think they saw though cause they didn't apologize. As for food, it was OK... I had meat pierogi which was very doughy. Cucumber salad was very good. Pork tenderloin was also pretty good. the liver soup or beef noodle soup were meh. Dumplings were fine. The place wasn't that clean either, the seats were pretty dusty. The sun was beaming on me so I closed the curtain and the string fell off. It was attached to a clip so it probably fell off often- thankfully the server fixed it. read more

Best Czech food outside of Prague. One of the last Bohemian restaurants in the Western Suburbs.

Westchester inn is a long time favorite of my wife and in-laws. They serve bohemian food, which used to be big in the area. These days I think it is the only one left. The food is simple, tasty and large servings for the price. Breaded pork tenderloin, roast pork, roast duck are all favorites. Weiner schnitzel, chicken schnitzel and especially smoked butt are excellent. Sides include mashed or boiled potatoes, dumplings, saurkraut, cabbage. They have good soup. Beef noodle is our usual, but you can be daring and get liver dumpling. And don't forget the brown gravy! Desserts are good. I enjoy the kolachkes, but the apple strudel is amazing if they have any left. Go early to beat the blue hairs! read more

Food is yummy, service is fabulous they always take good care of us. The ambiance is fine, small and family friendly.

Nothing fancy about this place, but boy is the food and service great! The restaurant is small and they close fairly early. I have been coming here for years! My favorite thing is the half roasted pork and breaded tenderloin. It comes with soup, dumplings and either sauerkraut or red cabbage. The tenderloin is as big as the plate. Another one of is fruit dumplings that are peach. Portions are huge so you should have a doggie bag to take home! My mouth is watering as I write this review! read more

Westchester Inn - Half Breaded Pork Tenderloin & Roasted pork - Czech Near Me - Westchester, Illinois

So much to love. The food is very good. Traditional Bohemian food that used to be plentiful in the area, but now is a treasure to find. From soup to dessert it's almost perfection. Two areas I find them to not quite meet the mark are gravy and rye bread. The gravy itself is rather bland and lacking in true flavor. The rye bread is no better than what you'd buy at a grocery store. Just a few upgrades would make this place perfection. read more

Out of stuffed green peppers at 4:45. Ordered the soup beef noodle. Pretty much dishwater and noodles. Asked for mashed potatoes with my stuffed cabbage. Definitely from a box. Terrible. I asked for a side of the stuffing that came with turkey and what they gave me was a slice of something. I didn't know what it was so didn't eat it. Dessert was kolachi which was a cherry danish. People in there eating but don't ask me why? I had heard good things so went there. Lesson learned won't be back and bathroom filthy. read more
