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 [$, patio]

☀️Patio — a Northwest Side classic in summer.

Uncle Greg and myself love the polish plate but I usually get stuck with the bill. But it’s worth it

Absolutely delicious Polish food! We haven’t had such hearty, comforting meals in a long time. Everything was flavorful and satisfying. We’ll definitely be coming back and recommending this place to others.

Really great food. A nice bar with great music playing. Both of my kids loved the perogies and borscht

This was one of the most delicious lunches I have had. I am very grateful to the friendly staff and the chefs — I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food and the warm service. Thank you, I will definitely come back again! To był jeden z najsmaczniejszych obiadów, jakie jadłem. Jestem bardzo wdzięczny uprzejmej obsłudze i kucharzom — byłem mile zaskoczony jakością jedzenia i serdeczną atmosferą. Dziękuję, na pewno wrócę ponownie!

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.

Mediocre to the max. Can’t believe they charge the prices they charge. And the forced 20% tip and then a 3% credit card surcharge on everything , would never come back $63 for 18 pierogi and a tomato soup. $4 for a can of Pepsi before tax and all their crazy fees, lol guys relax
