Just WOW! Amazing service, food, and atmosphere! There were so many options on the menu, it was hard to choose one, so we got the platter for two which had all of our favorites and some new things to try. The menu prices are reasonable and when you consider the portions, its a great value! If I ever return to Chicago, will definitely be going here again. Very jealous of the locals who always have this option available!

Have not had good Polish food in quite a long time- this spectacular restaurant certainly made up for any distant memories. Smashingly delicious- the food, the dessert; and the staff (made you feel like you were having a home cooked meal). Bravo!

“This was a very authentic Polish restaurant.”

This was a very authentic Polish restaurant. Everyone who worked here was extremely nice and very helpful and very attentive. I got the Schnitzel and it was probably the best one I've had in the US. My husband got the beef stroganoff with dumplings and it was also absolutely amazing. The beers were cold and delicious they felt like you were drinking them in Poland not watered down or diluted. I got a Dirty Shirley and it was absolutely perfect. I would come back here any day of the week and would definitely recommend it

“So glad I was able to eat here.”

So glad I was able to eat here. The Pickle soup is absolutely scrumptious. We also dined on meat pierogis and my main course was beef stroganoff with homemade dumplings. Will return!

“I was in Chicago for just a few days and needed to try the local Polish food, so naturally this was the place to go.”

I was in Chicago for just a few days and needed to try the local Polish food, so naturally this was the place to go. I unfortunately showed up at 9:45pm (15 mins before the kitchen closes) but I was never rushed or treated poorly despite arriving just before close. Devolay and kopytka were incredibly tasty, well worth the price. Devolay had a crispy breading, but the chicken inside was cooked and seasoned to perfection. Also had the sweet cheese pierogi, which had thin dough, nice filling without being too sweet, and the vanilla cream served alongside complimented the pierogi sublimely. Overall, the waitress was happy to help and treated all the customers with a warm hospitality. Highly recommend this local gem for its great service, delicious food, and authentic Polish culinary experience!

Got the special for two, which was an excellent overview of the cuisine! The best sauerkraut I’ve ever had in the pierogi, but minor wish they had more variety. The star was probably the pancakes or goląki- excellent amount of dill, and the tomato soup was a great compliment

“We chose Staropolska for our Valentine's Day dinner and were thoroughly impressed.”

We chose Staropolska for our Valentine's Day dinner and were thoroughly impressed! The food was authentic, comforting, and absolutely delicious – every dish was a hit. The service was excellent, with friendly and efficient staff who made us feel welcome though I personally did not speak fluent polish. The restaurant itself was charming, and the Valentine's Day decorations added a lovely touch. Our only slight disappointment was the absence of a Valentine's Day set menu or specials, which would have been a nice addition. However, this didn't detract from the overall fantastic experience. We'll definitely be back for more of their wonderful Polish cuisine!

“Such an easy place to love.”

Such an easy place to love. If you’re living in Chicago and you’re into or curious about Polish food, this is mandatory. Do wish they did something about the decor - too bright? Too medieval-feeling? Can’t put my finger on it but it should feel much cozier than it is. Regardless, they’ve got the important stuff down pat: the staff is charming and the food is authentic, hearty, and comforting.
