Best sandwiches, around here, great family owned restaurant, that really puts care and thought into…read moretheir meals. The sandwiches from the case are especially amazing, and change every day so you always get to try something new. Their soups are excellent, their pizza is pretty good. i've been coming here for 25 years, never had a problem. i'd like to address some of the one star reviews I saw below don't listen to them, every now and then you get crazy people that leave crazy reviews, this is a five star sandwich shop trust me One of the reviews, the girl ordered only a salad and complained about the price not understanding that this is a family owned place so everything's gonna be a little bit more expensive than McDonald's or whatever you're used to, because it's good quality food. A couple of the reviews, they talked about bad customer service for being put on hold. For those of us who have worked in a restaurant, you know sometimes it gets busy, let me tell you these guys get SLAMMED around lunchtime as they're literally the best place to eat in town for miles. And so around noon, expect to wait a long time, because they're really really really really busy. in fact, whenever I eat here, I try to make it by 11, and if I can't make it by then, I wait until 1pm cause it just gets soooo busy. if you're an impatient person, that just wants to be angry at everybody and lacks empathy than go eat somewhere else; you won't fit in with the chill family vibe here if you love, family values, supporting good people, excellent food, and a nice place to sit down and have a bowl of soup and a sandwich in peace. You'll love this place, you'll be a repeat customer like me. thanks for reading, God bless Pat

I had a disappointing experience at Woody Sports Bar. ALL TEA NO SHADE BUT HAILEY, was largely…read moreinattentive throughout our visit. We were not checked on regularly, were not offered refills, and were not asked about our experience with the food. Additionally, there were some concerning hygiene practices. She handled drinkware by the rims, and her hair was worn down while serving food and drinks, which raises concerns about cleanliness if hair were to come into contact with items being served. Service was also delayed, as she appeared to be on her phone multiple times before completing our payment. When I chose to switch from card to cash, her response came across as unprofessional. I was also surprised to see a $1.30 surcharge for card payments. While the fee itself is not the primary issue, it was not disclosed anywhere on the menu or within the restaurant, which makes it feel misleading. Lastly, I was incorrectly charged three times for a drink despite only receiving one refill. Overall, the service and lack of transparency made for a frustrating experience, the food was decent though for the price!! especially if theres "2 mexicans in the back" cooking up AMERICAN food.

The place itself is incredibly inviting, all warm wood, cozy corners, very Bavarian lodge meets Polish soul. It was busy and buzzing, and Polish was the main language at nearly every table... except ours, which was happily bilingual in Spanish. It felt authentic, lively, and full of life. The service was friendly, fun, and patient, guiding us through the menu with enthusiasm. We shared a feast: pelmeni, Highlander-style pork shank, kiszka, Real Man's Meatballs (Męskie Klopsiki), and other delicious goodness that made the table groan (in the best way). Every dish was hearty, flavorful, and deeply satisfying. It was also my birthday, and just when I thought the night couldn't get better, the staff surprised me with dessert and sang Happy Birthday in Polish. I loved it. Big smiles, full heart. The food was so good that I stayed behind afterward to order takeout for my husband, stuffed cabbage (gołąbki) and pierogi, because sharing joy is important... and leftovers are sacred. U Gazdy isn't just a meal, it's an experience. One that fills your belly, warms your spirit, and makes you want to come back hungry.

My husband and I have never been here before even though we've passed it many times and talked…read moreabout trying it. I was disappointed that you cannot get blintzes or pierogis during the week, but what we did try was very good: Cabbage rolls (be sure to ask for sauce) - Pretty flavorful, although if I'm being honest I think the cabbage rolls at the Polish Delicatessen in Glendale Heights are better. Vegetable soup - Soooo good and affordable too. Much better than anything you can get at the store, even in their deli departments. Potato pancakes - The single best potato pancakes we've ever had. So much flavor! I want more just thinking about them. I'm looking forward to coming back on the weekend so we can try the blintzes and pierogi. Visit date: 10/24

I have never heard of Fox & Turtle before, but looking at the NW Chicago Restaurant week, it looked…read moredelicious to try. I was treating my parents for my dad's birthday month (My daughter has a lot of activities, lol) and the menu appeared to have something for everyone. The 22 minute drive to Itasca was so worth it! The restaurant, which is open to the public, is on the same property as the Itasca Country Club, which is not open to the public. You go down the stairs, through the developing pizza bar, and to the restaurant. The restaurant space itself is cozy, with beautiful, natural lighting, and lots of seating options. We were asked booth or table and seated right by the picture window with beautiful views of their ice rinks and golf course. The food was above and beyond my expectations! Between the 5 people at the table, I sampled the French Onion soup, Sweet & Spicy Brussels, Bacon Smash Burger, Pot Roast Grilled Cheese, Sweet Tees (Donut Holes), Peanut Butter Smore-o, and Verde Dulce. The soup was not salty as I find some iterations, the brussels had complex flavors with hot honey, bacon, candied pistachios, and crumbled feta. The pot roast grilled cheese was very flavorful, but my boyfriend did state he wished the sandwich had more meat in it. The Sweet Tees donut holes were cooked to perfection without being oily and the jam accompaniment was a perfect texture and level of sweet. The Peanut Butter Smore-o was creamy and decadent with its perfectly ratioed layers of ganache, peanut butter mousse, Oreos, and whipped cream. The Verde Dulce, though, was the delicious classic olive oil cake with pistachio gelato & that throwback of candied pistachios from my appetizer. Even better than the food, our server, Kara, was one of the sweetest, most attentive human beings! She answered all of our questions, refilled our fountain drink and iced tea glasses when they were at 75% without prompting, made sure my dad felt celebrated with a candle, etc. Her teammate who was in charge of clearing our table was also prompt and I appreciate her asking what plates she could take. Overall, it was a beautiful late morning/early afternoon with delicious food and impeccable service. 10/10 recommend!!!

Such a great time! Curling and Dinner success…read more.. Went on a double date. We made reservations. Such a great time. They have these "kids" working the ice. I say kids but they were sweet young men. They give you instructions and off you go. Those stones are heavier than I thought they would be. It took a lot and I have the upper body strength of a kitten so... I was struggling. Eventually I got the hang of it. OR maybe the ice got slicker and my stone went further. I think that's actually what happened. Lol! They do allow you to take drinks and appetizers out to the ice. There are warming posts and they were used. Cuz I was cold. Dinner was fabulous. Service was good and just yeah. A great time was had. I ordered the Thai Chili Salmon. So delicious. My husband ordered the Blackened Cajun Chicken Pasta. It was so cheesy but he really liked it. Our friends ordered the Jambalaya and Grilled Salmon. They also ordered dessert to go. A great time was had. Totally worth the drive. I cannot wait to go back. There is a lot for parking.

Yes, totally stupid, but they give the strong, sturdy CHINET plates with food, if anyone besides me even remembers those. I eat out of the box and smuggle the Chinet quality plates home. Yes, I am that cheap.

The stuffed cabbage was better than I expected, and that mushroom sauce was so good! My friend ordered it with the tomato sauce and that was very good as well. The dumplings were amazing paired with the sauce. The atmosphere is super cozy! I loved it. It feels like you're in a log cabin. Great ambiance. Service was excellent. Our waitress was very sweet and friendly. Overall, I would highly recommend this polish restaurant! It's been located in the same spot in Wood Dale as long as I can remember, and I'm glad I finally gave it a try.
