    I just absolutely love this restaurant. The food is always delicious and it’s such a great place to sit and have a couple drinks and relax. We always like bringing new people here and they always leave loving it as much as we do.

    I’m from Poland and therefore I am highly critical about Polish food. This place is the REAL deal. If you want amazing food and a true authentic experience this is the perfect place. You can literally pluck this restaurant out of chicago into Poland and no one would ever know it’s a restaurant from the USA. Food was amazing, fresh & traditional! Def will be visiting again next time!

    Just loved coming here with friends. Warm space, great food. The service was slow because there was a wedding party in the adjoining space. Slow service means more time to talk with friends so come here knowing you should just sit back and enjoy.

    Wonderful dinner and atmosphere. Pierogis melted in your mouth! We got the dinner for two so we were able to try so many good things. And the Tyskie beer, too! Can’t wait to go back.

FAQs

Staropolska feels like a small, old‑world Polish pub with cozy booths and tables for groups who enjoy family-style dining. Guests mention booths and intimate seating; one review referenced an adjoining space used for a wedding party. The restaurant does not advertise private-party rooms or accept large-party bookings, so for special room requests call ahead to ask about availability.

Weekdays are your best bet for a quieter experience, while Sunday can be great for relaxed family meals, guests have praised Sunday family dinners and weekday visits. If you want a lively scene, weekends will be busier and more social. Choose based on whether you want quiet or a bustling neighborhood spot.

Portions at Staropolska are generous, guests frequently mention large, plentiful servings and family-style options. The Special For Two has been called big enough to feed three, and many guests note dishes are filling and intended for sharing. If you’re dining in a group, consider family-style ordering so everyone can sample a variety without over-ordering.

Warm, cozy and authentically Polish, guests often say it feels like a little restaurant or pub in Poland. The vibe is “old world, ” comfortable for relaxed meals, celebrations, or a date night. Note that high ceilings and busy evenings can make the space a bit lively or loud, which adds to the energetic atmosphere for groups but may be less quiet for intimate conversation.

The best time depends on your vibe: for a lively, bustling night go on a weekend or later evening; for a quieter meal try an early weekday or an early seating. Guests note the restaurant can get busy (and somewhat noisy with high ceilings or events next door), so arriving early or booking during off-peak hours will give you a more relaxed experience.

Yes, Staropolska makes a lovely date-night choice. Guests praise the warm, cozy atmosphere, authentic Polish dishes and creative cocktails, which pair well for an intimate evening. The dining is casual but special: think booths, family-style plates to share, and a friendly staff that helps with recommendations. Consider an early seating if you want a quieter table, and enjoy the Logan Square neighborhood vibe.

Staropolska is family-friendly, guests often bring families, celebrate birthdays, and choose family-style meals. The space is described as cozy with booths and tables suited to group dining. However, there’s no clear information about ADA-accessible seating in the available materials, and the restaurant does not take private-party bookings or large parties, so call ahead to confirm any accessibility needs or special seating arrangements.

Casual dress. Guests frequently dine in comfortable attire, the restaurant’s tone is relaxed and welcoming, so come dressed casually and ready to enjoy hearty Polish dishes and drinks.

Yes, families frequently dine here and guests report bringing children and celebrating birthdays. The menu is hearty and served family-style, so meals are easy to share. There’s no menu information indicating a kids’ menu, so bring kid-friendly expectations (shareable plates) and consider an earlier seating for younger children.

Staropolska’s posted hours are: Mon–Thu 4:00 pm–10:00 pm; Fri–Sat 1:00 pm–10:00 pm; Sun 1:00 pm–9:00 pm. Those hours make it easy for both early weekend lunches/dinners and weekday evening meals, still call ahead if you have specific timing or a special request.

Staropolska tends to be busiest on weekend evenings and when the restaurant is hosting events nearby, guests describe lively, crowded nights and occasional slow service when staff are stretched. Quieter times are likely early weekday evenings or early weekend seatings; arriving early or midweek will give you a more relaxed meal and quicker service.

Staropolska does offer delivery in partnership with Uber Eats. Staropolska also offers takeout which you can order by calling the restaurant at (773) 342-0779.

Staropolska is rated 4.8 stars by 223 OpenTable diners.
