Polish Bistro — honest polish in Northwest Side. Order the Potato Pancakes. The recipes feel handed down, not invented. "The Polish sausages were incredible—full of flavor and perfectly cooked" — Polly Snyder

“The Polish Bistro on Irving Park Road is a hidden gem, offering incredible Polish comfort food”
The Polish Bistro's food delivery service during Covid consistently impressed with its excellent quality and timely delivery.
Poor service, and the food served was almost cold.
We went there for the first time (my wife, her mother, and I) after hearing some good things from friends.

10 out of 10. Everything was delicious. This place really exceeded our expectations on quality, service, and atmosphere. It has a very beautiful outside patio that gives nature vibes. We had the steak tartar, pierogies, Bavarian pork shank, liver & onions [which I usually never order outside of making myself at home]. Our waitress was very helpful and attentive. Everything was amazing! If I could I would eat here every day.

“The Polish bistro serves authentic Polish food in good sized portions.”
The Polish bistro serves authentic Polish food in good sized portions. The atmosphere is lively and friendly, with decor that evokes a more rustic atmosphere than the hustle and bustle of the street it resides on. This restaurant is definitely worth the drive if you don't live nearby. This will probably be a new staple for date nights with my girlfriend.

I live about ten minutes from here, my dad and I really enjoy it. Agata, the bartender, is super sweet! Plenty of variety to choose from on the menu as well. I personally love a bit of everything, so I had the polish plate!

The Polish Bistro on Irving Park Road is a hidden gem, offering incredible Polish comfort food. Whether you choose to dine at the bar, in the separate dining area, or the fantastic beer garden, the experience is delightful. My kids particularly love the casual atmosphere of the beer garden. Whether we opt for the daily special or a simple order of burgers and chicken tenders for the kids, we are never disappointed. The staff is consistently friendly and on point, adding to the overall positive dining experience. It's a go-to spot for our family, ensuring both great food and warm hospitality.
