“Good sandwich. Played bingo at the White Eagle and decided to get a sandwich and a salad for my niece. The beef sandwich was very good. I would’ve given it five stars but the fries were over salted so much so I couldn’t eat them. All in all it was a good time. They delivered it to the bingo hall. That was a nice touch. However, it was a very long wait once ordered.“
“It's a buffet, ok... but, everything was well prepared and tasty. This was the Thanksgiving special. Make sure you have a look around before you get in line because they are not good at tactical positioning of things. There was a good selection of meats and sides, although I did not really notice any vegetarian option wasn't looking and nothing stood out. I only took off one star due to the cardinal sin of any eatery: cold plates.... otherwise, all good.“
“This place is a total experience! The food is delicious, the decor is artsy and beautiful, and the owners are absolute gems. my family and I went for the first time yesterday and had the BEST time. we came for some quick pierogi but stayed for the ambiance, warm welcome, and fantastic conversation with the owners. This cafe is charming beyond belief and we will definitely be back. This is the perfect place to stop in with some friends or loved ones when you are out and about in the neighborhood. I guarantee you will want to come back again and again.“
“Love this place! The soup here is amazing, some of the best soup I've ever had. I got the cabbage soup and white borscht soups but want to try them all. The perogis are also amazing.The place doesn’t look like much from the outside but the inside is inviting and the owners are very friendly and welcoming. Give it a try!!Cash only so come prepared.“
“Drop everything and run over to Smakosz for the best, homemade Polish dishes you're likely to ever encounter. My friends, Renee and her husband Bart have been serving up the finest Polish dishes for over 30 years. All fresh, natural ingredients created by a kitchen staff that reminds me of my favorite Aunts. Polish cuisine doesn't get any better than this. I tried the homemade Pierogi's, Polish Potato Pancakes & Meatballs with Dill Sauce, everything was out of this world !!“
“Reminded me of my gramma’s Eastern European home cooking: delicious beet soup, goat cheese & beet salad, veal meatballs, mashed potatoes and apple kuka (strudel-like cake)! Although people rave about the beef stroganoff, the beef was dry & stringy and I had to add a lot of salt & pepper. Also, the cabbage rolls had tasty tomato sauce and lots of meat & rice but just a wafer-thin cabbage wrapping.“
“After visiting the Czech Republic, I was craving authentic Czech goulash (which, in my opinion, is the best goulash in Europe). As someone living in the loop, I was willing to make the trip to the suburbs based on the authentic menu- the food exceeded expectations and was exactly like the goulash I had in Prague.We also had the schnitzel (pork), but was surprised they did not have a veal or beef option.Service was excellent and there is a nice bar with whatever game is on as well. Beer was appropriately priced and poured well.No doubt would come here again whenever I have a Czech cuisine itch to scratch.“
“I wanted to have an authentic polish experience with a friend and this place couldn’t be more authentic. From atmosphere to food to languages spoken, we felt like we were transported to another place. While the stuffed cabbage was our favorite, other food was good. We liked polish style goulash with pancakes, paczki (polish style donut) and rumbo (dessert with rum inside). Iced tea/fruit punch went well with all the food.We witnessed a long line form often with people buying bakery items and food to go. While we were among many who dined it was nice to be part of a busy cafe while enjoying our food. The staff were nice people and I want to come back again. Soup of the day is on my list to try plus other pastries.“
“Personally, Im a sucker for polish food. I get very particular when is comes to my favorite dishes. When i say these dishes were spectacular, i mean it. Definitly will be back again and might bring a couple of my friends. Service and Atmosphere was wonderful. Im am so amazed by how well these entres were prepared. Im so happy that i have now found my new favorite spot.“
“Polish food buffet. Personal favorite is the savory tripe soup.Returned 4 years later. The interior has been updated. The food is still great. What I want to focus on is the parking. There is metered street parking and a small lot across Natchez Ave. There is an auxiliary lot to the west of the restaurant.Parking: The parking lot across Natchez Ave is tight; it's really tight. They obviously wanted to maximize the number of spaces and they sure did. If someone parks a huge SUV (Escalade or Excursion) or a long pick-up (F-250), you are in trouble. Plenty of street parking. It is metered until 6pm at $2.50 an hourly. The auxiliary lot was blocked by a delivery truk.“

“I stopped by the area to try a cafe next door to this place, but that cafe wasn’t open on time so I checked this place out instead. I am so glad I ended up here. The food was absolutely delicious and very filling. I tried the golabki with a side of mashed potatoes and sauerkraut. I can’t wait to come back to try more dishes!“
“Super friendly and clean the food was great and even if you don't speak polish there are photos everywhere to help you order... I'd recommend the kebab if you're very hungry or if you're looking for something a bit lighter than the Zapiekanka is the way to go... And please don't forget to tip!“
“Very cozy atmosphere. The DJ present was an amazing dude! He looks young, but I heard he's over 60. He sure knows the best songs, but is willing to play custom requests. The staff as Hunters has been so friendly and accommodating that I felt like being around family. Wonderful people, wonderful place and I can't wait to go back there again. You won't be disappointed if you're looking for a friendly atmosphere, have a couple of drinks and dance the night away to 80s and 90s disco. The best!“
“Discovered a hidden gem at a small Polish grocery store – their lunch salad was a delightful surprise. Freshness and flavor were at the forefront, showcasing the quality of ingredients. The variety of Polish specialties added a unique twist to the salad. The cozy ambiance and friendly staff made the experience even more enjoyable. A must-try for those craving a taste of authentic Polish goodness in a casual setting. #PolishGrocery #FreshFlavors #HiddenGem #SaladDelight #LocalEats“
“We drove from Wisconsin just to eat at this place and will do it again. The food was amazing, everything was fresh because it was being consumed so fast, the empty plates were removed from the table right away, other buffets will let the plates pile up, make your way to this place, it is a cash only “
“Food great and tasted deliciousOnly one little problem ,if you come here for quick dinner not recommended. If you have more time -Yes, go there take friends, get glass of wine, order appetizer ( but noting special on menu for appetizer),dinners will take them to bring to your table 45 min.Hope my review will make change and improve…..May be if they serve worm bread with butter we will forgive them long time for wasting….“
“Great food and service. We were looking for authentic Polish food and were not disappointed. The server was very attentive and came by often to see how we were doing. We had the goulash and the Pierogi's and both were excellent. Would definitely recommend this restaurant.“
“I participated in a poetry event in Alibaba. I admired & enjoyed great musicians: Marek Kulisiewicz I Marek Kalinowski. Sweet & well educated waitress Joanna added to a great atmosphere of the evening. You can meet many musicians & poets there. I had a great time last night in Alibaba. Thank you, Magda Mlodozeniec“
“Meat pierogi are some of the best I've out outside of Poland. Potato pancakes are thicker, like they should be. And the sour soup was actually sour and not watered down for inexperienced palates (-:Kid-friendliness: Brought a stroller and breastfed during dinner no problem“
