Loved this place! Will be back. Great service and the cheese and cherry nalesniki were to die for. So lovely. The potato pancakes were almost like mom’s. Pierogi were great, but we forgot to ask that they be pan fried. The stuffed cabbage great. Least favorite were the chicken meatballs. Will definitely be back!

Came here on a recommendation from a friend. What a great place! Delicious pierogis. Potato pancakes were great too. Friends loved the beer. Service was great too. Our 1 year old loved it too!

First time trying authentic Polish. Food was wonderful and made fresh. Quiet, clean, and simple atmosphere. Great service. Wonder how Polish people would rate it? But we loved everything…except maybe blah strudel.

Authentic, homemade Polish food. Reasonable prices, big portions, restaurant has a high scale feeling to it, smaller restaurant so tables fill up quickly, easy to have a conversation while eating since it’s not a very loud restaurant. The meatballs in mushroom sauce were excellent. Everyone loved their entrees! I read that this is a family owned placed, 2 sisters took over after their dad passed away and have kept the tradition alive. The Perogi and red Borsht (spelling ) soup also excellent! I will be back for sure.

Cozy, local, polish restaurant from Jefferson Park. You won’t know about it unless you’re passing by. Everything I ordered was phenomenal and prepared deliciously perfect. I ordered carryout and all the food tasted to what I feel was standard and presented exceptionally. I’m definitely going to dine-in for our next turn around when we come back. Which we will definitely be back. We ate the polish food assortment and the Hungarian pancake. Best goulash I’ve ever had! Wow!

If you’re looking for authentic, high-quality Polish food in Chicago, Smakosz is an absolute gem.
Everything we ordered was outstanding. The ingredients tasted incredibly fresh, and you can tell right away that the food is made with care. Our server was fantastic attentive, warm, and genuinely proud of what they were serving. The owner even came by to talk with us and shared how everything is homemade, done by hand, and prepared with real love. She was so friendly and modest, and it made the whole experience feel personal.
The pierogis are hands down the best you will ever have. Perfectly cooked, flavorful, and clearly made from scratch. I also highly recommend the Polish assortment so you can try a little bit of everything. It’s the best way to experience the range and quality of what they offer.
We are so glad we found this place. We’ll definitely be back often.

Nice indoor space, not a lot of people around early dinner time. Tenderloin (pictured) was huge and very good. If you aren’t starving this is something I would plan to share. Service was objectively good, but they did not seem happy to be there. Overall we would probably visit again to try something else, they had a nice event space in the back.

Stopped at Smakosz for Sunday lunch. Excited to try authentic Polish food. Greeted at the door by the owner. Love the old world decor/feel of the restaurant.
My grandparents were Hungarian immigrants and I have found over the years that eastern European cultures have overlapping foods. For me, I had to try the stuffed cabbage. It was spot-on delicious. (Of course my grandmother’s recipe will never be matched ). Really enjoyed our meals. Great service, cozy, and reasonable prices. Would definitely return.

We stopped by Smakosz Restaurant for lunch today, everything was well done especially the bake pork knuckle, crispy skin, juicy & soft meat. We also enjoyed the beef stroganoff, meat balls with mushroom sauce, potato pancakes & Hungarian potato pancakes. The server also brought out 4 cold salad while we waited for our food. We
highly recommend this place!

Small mom and pop style shop. I watched their video on Instagram, which is why we came to try it. We had a breaded pork chop sandwich and a Hungarian pancake, diet coke and red currant compote- very typical in polish cuisine. Very much home style cooking. Good size portions, on the higher end-reasonable in price. Not the greatest we’ve ever had, but we would eat it again and we plan on coming back to try other items on the menu. Give them a try if you’re in the area.
