This spot’s tagline, “Probably the best Polish food in Chicago,” may be selling itself short. This is some excellent Polski grub, in all its potato-heavy, comfort-food glory. Skip perplexing options like southwest egg rolls and head straight for soft cheese and potato pierogi sprinkled with crunchy bacon or bright borscht, served in a mug alongside a Polish croquette (essentially an egg roll stuffed with shredded pork). Cut into the devollay, a tube of crispy breaded chicken, and a stick’s worth of garlic butter oozes out, soaking the potato dumplings surrounding it. Enjoy now, work it off later.
