Little Bohemia Restaurant

I want to preface this review with an "FYI" that my family is absolutely nuts about this place. My mom, in fact, loves this food so much that we have ordered food from there every year for her birthday for as long as I can remember. We usually don't eat from there otherwise just to make sure it maintains its novelty and "special treat" status.

That being said, this place is just average for me. I can hardly remember eating the meat here, even though I ate meat up until eighth grade. For the following eighth years, I just ate the sides with everyone's meals. Finally, now that I have slowly started introducing fish into my diet, I ordered the breaded white fish here.

You really get a lot of bang for your buck. With a complete meal, I was able to get my fish, an ice cream-scoop of mashed potatoes, a helping of beets, liver dumpling soup, rye bread on the side, coffee, and a pastry. You get all of that for just a little over $7! That, in and of itself, is pretty spectacular. When you come here, you know you're going to have a complete meal and probably have leftovers.

My complaint lies in the fish. Even though I haven't been eating fish for long, I do know what "good" fish tastes like. If it's breaded, then it should be a little crispy and there should be some flavor action going on in the taste buds. But this "Bohemian" fish really left something to be desired. Even though we picked up our food as soon as it was ready and ate right after, my fish was just lukewarm. It was a bit rubbery and spongy, as well, and there was no real flavor. I could only finish one of the fish patties (it came with two).

The coffee was watered down (which was fine with me because I don't drink coffee usually) and the mashed potatoes were fine with some salt and pepper. The beets were fine, too, but they're hard to mess up.

Overall, I will say that I will almost certainly return because my mom loves this place so much. I've never dined in, so I can't speak for their service, so I will update my review if that ever does happen. Otherwise, my concluding statement about Little Bohemia is that you get a lot of food for a little money, although quality is sacrificed, at least when it comes to the fish.

Nothing special, my husband had the duck and said it was rubbery and not tender like it is supposed to be. My breaded pork tenderloin was kind of soggy and overbreaded. The only thing that was good was the sauerkraut, but we won't be going back for just that. Atmosphere is very cheaply decorated and they charge extra for a refill on your soda, which is so tacky. The service was just fine, nothing out of the ordinary. If you want this kind of Czech food then go to Bohemian Crystal in Westmont, the food is much better there.

Still one of the best home  cooked Bohemian meals ANYWHERE in the Chicago area.

Had roast pork without gravy and extra Saerkraut with Egg drop soup...MMMMMMMMMMMM
So good and such wonderful people!

And why would anyone order Spaghetti and meatballs at  Chech restaurant? Jus sayin'
