    Description
    This restaurant is temporarily closed for remodeling, but the bakery/grocery store is still open. There aren’t many ironclad rules for dining out, but "avoid buffets" and "don’t eat near the airport" are practically set in stone. Bobak’s, a few blocks from Midway, is a notable exception to both. Famed for its sausage factory and its Eastern European grocery, Bobak’s also features an incredibly rich, filling buffet. It’s not particularly vegetarian-friendly (any given day features at least a dozen pork dishes), but a fresh fruit bar, a massive dessert table and some of the finest pierogi in the city make up for it. Offerings change daily, but don’t miss the near-perfect prime rib most Sundays.
