    This was our first visit to Staropolska and we were impressed. The space is really nice, and the food was excellent. We had Mushroom Soup & Herring In Sour Cream for our appetizers and both were really really good. Then we had Pierogies (the kraut & mushroom pierogies were so tasty), Beef Strogonoff (tasted more like Goulash to me, but it was outstanding), Polish Sausage (also really good), and Potato dumplings (and so many of them!). We plan to return.

    I definitely loved all the food that we were served. Everything was delicious and hot. Our only problem with the restaurant was service was a little slow they didn’t come around asking if we wanted more drinks we were there celebrating my Sister, who passed away and what would’ve been her 60th birthday. We were and what was called the VIP room, which was in the back of the restaurant, so I don’t know if that had anything to do with…. But I definitely would love to go back and try it again.

    Like being back in Poland. All of the very best ingredients used in making exceptional traditional dishes. As authentic as it comes in Chicago’s neighborhood ethnic restaurants. Don’t change a thing!

    The food was delicious! Authentic Polish in a Polish neighborhood.  The service was prompt and very kind. The restaurant has a excellent ambience.  We reserved for a party of seven. We were a little late, but they had no problems accommodating us.  The whole experience, especially the food made my Mother’s Day so special.

    THEYRE SLIPPING...We were here about a year or so ago around Christmas and had wonderful food. On this visit, not so much. The duck was overcooked and dry, the bacon wrapped plums were also overcooked, the golumpki had no flavor and the sauerkraut was inedible. I don't know what happened here as this restaurant is rated in the top 10 polish restaurants in the city. Perhaps it was an off night. To be sure though, go to the other nine.

    The first good impression occurred when entering the restaurant for the first time. It has the atmosphere of a long-established, old-fashioned neighborhood dining room. The second good impression was the menu: chock full of many different choices making it fun to decide and encouraging return trips to try more dishes. The third good impression was the food, which is delicious. All three members of my party had different dinners, all were excellent in appearance and taste. Mine was complemented by a tasty Polish beer. the fourth good impression was the service, which was old-world. And finally the fifth good impression was the price of dinner: moderate, great value. The appetisers are pricey until you order one and realize they are sized for sharing.

    I will be back! Service was a little stressful. I didn’t get greeted or waited on for 20 minutes! I think there could have been a language barrier but wasn’t fully sure. Regardless the food was fantastic and I will be back! If you go, make sure to not be in a rush. This is a take-your-time kind of Restaurant!

    The food was wonderful. The potato pancakes were crispy and flavorful. The stew they were served on was delicious. Our server was attentive without hovering and the noise level allowed us to talk, but I never felt like people at the next table could overhear our conversation. In all, it was exactly what we were looking for to celebrate my daughter’s graduation. Truly memorable
