Pros: Several good options for a typical dinner, good for breakfast with a friend or family. Friendly staff, rarely have to wait long for a table. Cons: service can take a while, prices are mid-point. Overall check it out if you want a variety of American or Polish meal and if not in a hurry. Try the feta spinach omelette with a side of whole grain pancakes.

Stopped in here recently as I needed my Polish food fix. This place has a definite diner kind of feel to it and they were still decorated from the holidays which made it even more cozy. After parousing the menu I saw what I came for… the stuffed cabbage. The guy waiting on me gave me the choice of potato(I had mashed) and vegetables(mixed) and also an option for soup(was adventurous so decided to try the pickle soup). The meal was very filling and tasty… just the right temperature and flavorful(for those who are wondering, the pickle soup was great… just the right amount of tartness and it tasted like a creamy soup). Then for dessert he came out with a couple of kolaczky which was a nice ending to a great meal. Add to that a bottomless cup of coffee and it made for a great late lunch/early dinner on a cold wintry day. I will be back here sometime as I want to try some of their other Polish dishes.

You want to like this place for its charm and Chicago diner feel but the food was nothing special. I had a chicken wrap which was just ok. My BF had a steak skillet which was mostly onion. He asked for double hash browns which he didn’t get and our waters were empty within 5 minutes and never refilled. We weren’t asked once how our food was. The soup redeems them from only being one star. Otherwise there’s plenty of other diners to choose from.

Service is very friendly, kid friendly too. The pace is a nice place too sit in and eat. I like the sausage, it’s different than other restaurants. I ordered hashbrowns on the side; Burnt and they just mixed it together to hide it. Pancakes were a little cold. Might give it another try for something else since it was kid friendly.

The food was good, the service was too slow. We were the only table and 3 people at the counter. No excuse for slow service. Regular coffee was good, but seems like no one can offer a good decaf, like Dunkin donuts. Kids enjoyed the mixed berry crepes, although they didn’t have fresh berries, like I saw on another reviewer’s picture. I guess they are not consistent. Overall place was ok.

Please, avoid this place altogether! I got so sick from their tuna melt that I spent all two days in bed, violently sick. They use MSG in their food and lots of it. Buyer beware!

The food is fine here, but the service can vary. The waitresses are usually very friendly, but that doesn’t prevent mishaps with the order from happening. Also, for some reason the service isn’t always attentive; that may be because waitresses are handling many people at once. This place is a little bit pricey for the portions, in my opinion. Overall, I wouldn’t say there’s any one thing that brings this place down on it’s own, but a culmination of things kind of make for an overall lacking experience. After I eat there, I’m not always satisfied with my overall experience.

I came here yesterday for a high school graduation breakfast celebration. It was 12 of us there and none of us had been to this establishment. Staff was helpful and friendly. I started off with some chicken noodle soup. All of their soups are homemade. The soup was Delicious! I regretted not having gotten a bowl instead of a cup of soup. I also had the mixed berries crepes. Crepes were pretty good, just a little too thin for me, I wish they were a bit thicker in consistency. Our group was satisfied with all of our food. What I was impressed with was our waitress. She worked really hard for such a large group. I don’t know her name but she had blue eyes and jet black hair. She was Awesome! Friendly and gave us whatever we asked for. We never had to ask for anything twice. I like the pretty and colorful spring décor in the restaurant. Thank you for accommodating us.

This place was exactly what I needed! On a cross country road trip I simply couldnt handle any more fast food. Ordered pickup triple decker BLT and the boyfriend had pineapple chicken salad. Both were delicious! Efficient and well worth the stop!

Had the biscuits and gravy with pancakes. It was clean and the service was fine but I didn’t think it was anything special.

This place is amazing!!! I always come for their breakfast. The skirt steak skillet is the best thing I’ve ever tasted! Service is wonderful. Got some great ladies working over there. And it doesn’t break the bank either! Don’t listen to any other review I am telling you this place is a diamond in the rough! this place! I think I’m craving some now…

When I see 3.5 stars on a place where the pics look delicious, I might think«Oh, maybe the reviewers just had a bad experience, or maybe they’re just being bitches,» but that isn’t the case in this instance. I had high hopes since this place was pretty busy, very clean and inviting, standard Greek diner type look. I was ecstatic that they offer so many skillet options that come with pancakes, because I don’t like to choose between sweet and savory for breakfast. I ordered the veggie skillet and added sausage(I’m a carnivore who loves broccoli, ok?) With poached eggs and pancakes. I understand poached eggs are difficult, but most places can manage. My eggs came out looking like they’d had much better days(I’ll spare you the more graphic metaphor, for your sake) The sausage is NOT breakfast sausage. It’s more like a dinner sausage. Hard to explain but it just isn’t what I want or expect in a breakfast sausage. The pancakes were stone cold and when I informed the waitress, she simply took them back to be microwaved. Hooray, now they’re warm but rubbery! Yuck. I didn’t bother sending them back a second time, God knows what I’d get if I did. So I just sucked it up and missed out on the«sweet» portion of my breakfast. The price points were pleasing, less than $ 8 with water(drinks are a standard price of ridiculous at a restaurant) The service was nothing great, not terribly friendly and rather short, fast but had to flag them down when I needed something. Also, the weirdest thing is that the floor is kind of weak where we were sitting by the serving station and every time a server or bus boy walked by, we could feel the pounding of their footsteps vibrate through out seat which was highly annoying. Overall I probably won’t return. And wouldn’t recommend it, though perhaps I just had a bad experience, or maybe I’m just being a bitch.

I went here for dinner today. Service was okay. We got a table right away. Server came for drinks, but didn’t say hello. It kinda was slow too. Service needs to be better. I got the chicken noodle soup. Great flavor and soup. For the entrée I had the chicken pesto pasta, very good with pesto sauce. Garlic bread was floppy, but it was fine. For dessert I was supposed to have vanilla ice cream but I got chocolate. Overall look is a nice place, but needs better service.

Though Polish themed the menu has a large variety of other meals listed. I like the breakfast menu pages the best as they have many choices for you to select from. The lunch and dinner specials change daily and are very affordable. The homemade soups are excellent and you could make a meal out of just that. The employees are very friendly and helpful with the menu and make sure that your needs are met. If you’re in the area stop in and check it out.

I came here on a whim as I was passing by, and was very pleased! Unilocal has this restaraunt categorized as «American», which isn’t accurate. The menu also has an Italian and Polish section too. Menus that are all over the place like this usually worry me but I decide to give them a try. My mother is an amazing cook from Poland and I was worried that the food here would not compare. I am happy to report that the Polish food here was delicious, fresh, and tasted home cooked. I started with the pickle soup, which was better than my moms. For dinner I had the goulash over dumplings which was just as good as my moms. I did not enjoy the cucumbers in cream sauce, but the kolaczki for desert made for it. My waiter was Gabrielle, and he was super nice and took good of me. I will definitely be coming back.

Nice neighborhood diner in Garfield Ridge. Came here one Saturday morning for brunch and although it was busy, service was quick, friendly and efficient. I had a skillet(can’t remember the name of it) but it was very good. My pancakes were delicious — didn’t expect it to be that good(might be better than Blueberry Hill!) My husband was disappointed with the Mexican skillet, however– there wasn’t enough hash browns which is his favorite part of skillets and an overload of chorizos. Overall, a good place to bring the family and kids.
