We came in around 2pm on a Friday. It was quiet but we were fine with that. We sat at the bar with college basketball playing. The bartender and waitress were helpful and friendly in helping us pick out what we wanted to sample. We got both limited edition and regular to sample, as well as the chicken quesadilla. They were also ok with giving us samples of beers to see if we would want them for tasting. The beers were fine, and we bought a 4 pack to go. The quesadilla was ok. The Bison Chili was awesome! They had outdoor seating, covered with heaters but it seemed too cold for that. The view from there was nice I admit. I like how the 'hangar' theme meant pictures of airplanes and pilots, including Amelia Earhart! I like winter beers, but I'd like to go back in the spring or summer to see what's available. The restroom was clean and approachable.

A friend and I went here on a Thursday and it was empty inside. Had to have been a party of 3 old dudes getting ready to leave. You could tell they were regulars. No greeting when you enter and the lady (who I would later learn was the manager), looked like she was on her last straw and nerve. Type of person to be very mean and rude but would say they're not, they're just direct. Mmmmh! Wasn't a clean table in the table and took forever to get a menu and water. When I asked about happy hour that I saw advertised she simply pointed to the menu and said these without recognizing it was the regular drink menu with the regular prices. I simply ordered the chicken tenders and sweet potato fries. She swore to heaven that their honey mustard was bomb. I don't think this lady knew her elbow from her wrist. The sauce was ehh. The food itself was good but again it was bar food so I didn't expect much. I wouldn't return or anything. Absolutely not.

Established (as the wall told me) in 1936, I expected "Polish" to be in menu alone...and I was wrong. The gal behind the bar had an accent. Halfway through the Bears game, I started hearing folks concerning and cheering in Polish. I felt like I had slipped into a cool little club to which I would never have otherwise been invited. Loud (but not too loud) and boisterous. I read some other reviews talking about rude regulars: rubbish. Chicago is loud and direct. If you don't like that vibe, the shoulders in this city may just be a little too broad for you. The pierogi and the pyzy were great, both served with sour cream. The beers, while not draft, had a wide, Euro-leaning selection but still respected some local favorites (Old Style). Good food. Good folks. Confusingly brilliant ambiance. You're missing out if you skip The Log Cabin.

I just recently started popping in here with a little bit of Saturday night regularity. Why? Well,…read moregive me karaoke on a Saturday night, near my house, and I'm not going to complain! Now, the first time I stopped in here was in the 1990's, to watch a game and eat some burgers... and I didn't go back again until the mid-2000's, just once, for karaoke. I had little kids and didn't get out much, met up with some friends and made it a quick stop for the evening, since I had to work in the morning. Here we are, 2026, and I've been in a few times in the last few months. I've got to imagine you're wondering why I'm only giving it three stars, it's the ambiance, to be honest... there's something that isn't for everyone here. I like the place, a little dive bar and a bunch of regulars, but it's not super inviting and I guess that's the issue. The crowd is also a bit on the older side and it's generally pretty dead on the weekends. The food, though... the only thing I have had and wasn't all-in on was the Caesar Wrap, because it was an oil based dressing rather than creamy and it was very messy - everything else I've had (wings, burger, fries) have been quite tasty! Yes, I'll be back, I like the Saturday-Night karaoke, the bartenders and the food.

Bulgogi was plentiful. -half shrimp half bulgogi k-pizza 5 - star of the show. I really loved that pastry crust and it was cheesy too. One k-pizza is not enough. -snowy pork cutlet 5 - very large portion. Pork cutlet with cheese. The meat was tender. -honey garlic wings 5 - very crunchy skin and meaty. Honestly, as long as you order any kind of wings you'll be good. The meat was tender and succulent. -ice fruit punch bowl 5 - this is a good dessert at the end of a heavy meal but it is huge. Best to share this with 3 or more people. There is some ice cream inside that ice in the middle.

We were so happy with our lunch experience. The food was better than other Italian restaurants we have ate at. Service was great. Full disclosure. It was a Saturday late lunch and the place was basically empty. Our server started us off with a small loaf of warm Italian bread. Dipping sauce was olive oil with spices and tomatoes. It was heavenly! My husband ordered the Vodka Rigatoni with small asparagus pieces. He said it was better tasting than my homemade Vodka Rigatoni! And he was right! I ordered the Eggplant Salad. What a showstopper it is! It tasted as good as.it looked. The fried eggplant was sliced thin, breaded and fried. The salad included mixed greens, mozzarella slices and tomatoes. Their prices are very reasonable. I urge everyone to go to Trezeros.

The restaurant was previously a popular pizza spot that specialized in peanut shells on the floor. However, thankfully that is no longer the case. Restaurant still has a few booths, but added tables with comfortable chairs. Parking can be a little challenging as their lot is small, but there's street parking and a strip shopping center nearby.
