    This shop opened three years ago as a bakery but is now apparently transitioning to a sandwich and pierogi eatery which I found out at check out. There is a story posted somewhere at the entrance but I never saw it. I walked around the store for quite some time without anyone acknowledging my presence or offering to help. In fact when eye contact was made each employee looked away. I grew up in Logan Square so I am used to the Poles aloofness but this was rude. The store is bright and has much potential under the right ownership and guidance. Apparently there is a QR menu you can scan but I wasn't told that until I was checking out. I found the vanilla sugar that I needed as well as the opłatki and purchased some pierogi to try. Wesołych Świąt! Merry Christmas! Good luck in the new year.

    Grilled Shrimp Po Boy was unique, full of flavor, fresh huge shrimp on a wonder baguette! Great size for $16.99! Also grabbed some beets...soooo good! Pork Cutlet and Loaded Potato Pierogi I have my eyes on you!

    I heard about this place from another Yelper so I decided to stop in since I was in the area. They advertise as a bakery but in my opinion they are a bakery,deli,small grocery store and a sandwich shop. They didn't have a lot of bakery goods when I visited but they did have a nice selection of pre made Polish foods as well as homemade pierogis. I did buy a few items as well as Oplatki..a traditional Polish wafer used for the Christmas Eve blessing before everyone eats. Would like to go back and try one of their hot or cold sandwiches when I'm in the area again.

    This is a very cute and cozy Polish cafe for breakfast or lunch. Also a great deli for carry outs too. Very nice owners who told us about the history of the deli. We ate in and ordered beef goulash and chicken with vegitables. My side were the marinated beets. All dishes were very good comfort food. The prices are very reasonable. We will return.

    Pepper & Egg Sandwich (I added sausage, bacon, avocados, and spicy giardinera to my 2 sandwiches)!! So awesome!!!

    I'm eating here for the first time ever (Thursday 4/2)! I placed a take out dinner order through Door Dash because their main restaurant ordering website was so slow and user-unfriendly! I then decided to eat my order inside the restaurant, since I loved how spacious, clean, colorful and welcoming the dining area looked! Plus they were playing great tunes overhead like The Grateful Dead, Jack Johnson, and Electric Light Orchestra! Been craving pepper and egg sandwiches and saw that this place allows you to customize them and order them ANY DAY (compared to most places which only allow you to order them only on Fridays and only during Lent! Such ridiculously lame, stupid rules)! Anyway, I ordered 2 Pepper & Egg Sandwiches and for each of them, I added Polish Sausage, bacon, avocado and spicy giardinera! Hot damn--they were DELICIOUS! I also ordered the Big Chili & Cheese Kielbasa Sausage Sandwich and Barley Soup, plus 2 Polish fruit juice drinks! Those were all really hearty, flavorful and awesomely delicious too! The employees here are also friendly and efficient too-- my order was ready on time and accurate! The owner even came over and gave me great future online ordering tip: place your order through the Clover App; it's 30% cheaper than DoorDash!! Who knew?!?! Anyway, I'm definitely coming back and telling all my Polish neighbors to come here (I swear, half of Poland lives in my condo complex which is about 10 minutes from here)! This place is in a strip plaza in Palatine, on Rand Road/Route 12, across from a Subaru dealership and just down the road from Original Taco and the Rand Road Animal Hospital!

    The grilled shrimp po boy is the best. Keeps us coming back!! Will try more soon We also went on halloween night and they handed out free Polish candy to to everyone in the restaurant. Love this place

    This is a nice new Polish bakery that opened just 3 weeks ago.  It's in a small and very ethnically diverse strip mall, located with Shan's Grill (Indian) and Chen's (Chinese).  The bakery storefront looks smallish, but inside it's roomier than it looks and there's lots of good stuff here.  Almost everyone shopping while we were there spoke Polish, and that's almost always a good sign.  We picked up some kielbasa ($4.99/lb and one recommended by both the attendant and a friendly patron - Bez Konserwantow sausage that is preservative free apparently) and a loaf of bread. Their flagship store is on N. Harlem in Chicago but we've never been there nor heard of it.  We will surely revisit here again.  For one, I've always personally liked tasting and eating various ethnic sausages.  Check the attached photos for some of the good stuff they have here.

    The summary is this: Burt's Deli is a national treasure and should be protected at all costs…read more First time. Ordered a reuben. Talked to the owners, who are just the people you want there to be in the world. They gave us a little sample of hot corned beef while we waited for the magic. Melt in your mouth deckle, after battling chewy or tough fat from other places, felt like my long-lost love coming home from the sea. We ate the sandwich in the car and talked about how great it was to have a beloved food item that was just perfection, like knowing there was something out there in the world that would always make you happy. 10/10, no notes. The pickles plucked on the strings of my heart, thinking about the old pickle barrels from The Milk Pail and other places long gone. "Next time I see you I'll be looking at you." We'll be back soon.

    This little neighborhood gem is 5 stars on every turn. They have been serving up gold standard…read morecorned beef and pastrami sandwiches since 1975 when Burt opened the place, which is now run by his son. As someone who is not a fan of pastrami or corned beef , I went in thinking I was going to do a Turkey breast sandwich. Nope! The owner encouraged me to taste their corned beef and it was love at first bite. My friend and I split a sandwich and it was truly Chefs kiss! The service was top tier and warmth and friendliness and they make you feel like you've stopped in to visit with family for a bite.
