Family visiting, all demanding: Allergic, dieting, vegetarian, carnivore, vegan... Well, they have all multiplied aaaand need a place to meet and eat together with minimal issue(s).
It's the holidays.
No one can resist a pirogi.
This was my very first ever pirogi: A magnificently generous dumpling filled with goodness: My pirogi order had both blueberry and strawberry fillings, served warm with a hefty side of cold, sweet, rich, decadently thick cream. Ahhh... the contrast was lush and addictive.
That order made rounds around the table, still leaving enough for me to feel positively stuffed. Painfully stuffed... and yet craving more pirogis.
There are other things on the menu- soups apparently are popular- all the ones available when we went were cream based Cream of Chicken with Rice and Cream of Mushroom... But moi? I was blinded by the wonder of my first, ever-so-generous pirogi experience.
Next time I'm back, I'm ordering TWO yummy servings of Blueberry pirogis and maybe, just maybe if I see you there too, I might share. Might.
The chicken soup is great. Staff is really unfriendly. You seem to sit and wait forever and they pass by without taking notice if your drink is empty. When a bunch of us were there the cook and waitress were arguing loudly for 15 minutes over tater tots while Maury was on the tv. Really??
Review Source:PRO: Service is great...as soon as I walk in I get seated by host then served water by gentlemen and waitress attends to us. Soup is great, on a cold day we come here for bowl of nice hot soup. Dessert selections are great too.
CON: Meals are average, not the best. Tried their omelettes, they're okay. I've tried their pork chops and chopped steak, also okay. Did not like their chip and dip appetizer. Food is not great but not bad, just so so.
I keep going back for soup and the great service. Hope the food improves.
I came here for the first time a couple of days ago even though I have lived in the area for the past 6 years. Â I have always heard that the soup is one of the best in the city and that the food is equally good........so here is what I thought.
The decor reminded me of the Arch View located further north on Archer Road about 8 miles, which is not a bad thing. Â The wait staff was very quick to come to the table and very courteous. Â It must have been a waitress in training because another one came over to make sure she wrote the ticket the right way. Â I ordered the chicken noodle soup and pierogi. Â
The soup was outstanding! Â It actually had chunks of chicken unlike some places that you barely get any chicken and the noodles were a plenty. Â The pierogi were ordered topped with onion, bacon and butter and sweet cheese filling and they were fantastic! Â The pierogi were stuffed to the max with a great tasting sweet cheese and the dough was great!
Before leaving since it was the end of the night we were given a complimentary large container of the split pea soup and even after heating it the next day for lunch it was very good!
I will definitely be back here to try other items from the menu and to try more of the soups as I agree that this is one of the best in the city.
I really enjoyed coming here after a friend told me that they have the best homemade soups. Â The restaurant is nicely decorated - I would like to bring my nieces since they have butterflies coming down from the ceiling and tutus as banners. Â
My cream of chicken came and i instantly devoured it. Â It was definitely the best cream of chicken that I've had a in a long time. Â IT had kennel, bits of potato, sausage and vegetables. Â
The staff was extremely friendly, including the coffee girl which seemed to be beyond happy! I ordered a turkey on Croissant, my friend had steak and eggs and my boy friend had turkey club sandwich. Â We were waiting for quite some time for our food and our waitress comes and informs us that our ticket had fell and that they were cooking our food now. We didn't mind because at least she was honest. Â
When it finally came - 20 minutes later, we were just happy that it had arrived. Â I would like to say that it was worth the wait. Â Everyone was pleased with the food and when the check arrived - 25% off! Â
I will see this place very soon.
Great neighborhood family restaurant. Â The food is always hot and fresh. Â They have wonderful soups. Â The Pickle Soup is fantastic. Â I've never had a bad meal here. Â They also do really nice holiday breakfasts for Easter & Christmas with the Easter Bunny and Santa. Â If you are in the area and looking for a good meal, stop here.
Review Source:The old woman who greeted me at the door was not nappy to see me.
I ask you - who doesn't want a fat guy in their restaurant. My very physique promises a good tab. She wanted to force me into a booth.
She - grudgingly - got me to a small table behind the Christmas tree - away from all signs of civilized life.
The first waitress looked at me and passed me on to the second waitress. Big mistake. I am a big tipper. The second waitress - somewhat harried - apparently the first waitress has first right of refusal and was letting the second waitress take all the undesirable tables.
She - the second waitress - came by and was quick and sweet and on the money. She brought me water and took my order.
Now this place has signs all over the building boasting of the best soup in Chicago. The main reason I came in was the soup. I love soup. I drive by this place a few times a week and was intrigued. Best soup in Chicago? I'll be the judge of that.
I ordered the Piergois which came with a bowl of soup. I opted for the minestrone. I have had better soup by Progresso. If these folks think they serve the best soup in the city, they need to get out more. The beans were undercooked - the zucchini was over cooked and broth had as much spice as a cup of snow.
The second waitress actually brought me some nice (extra) dinner rolls. (When you are my size - people just assume you want extra dinner rolls. I didn't eat any, but I appreciated the gesture.) She also brought me a bigger glass of water.
The Pierogis were not good. They were crispy and dry and boring. They came with a smear of apple sauce and an envelope of sour cream. They had about as much flavor as a cup of sand.
As I got up to leave - I told the second waitress that her tip would be in the card. I am not a big fan of doing that. Some restaurants charge the credit card fee to the waitresses - they take it out of the tip.
The bill was around 8 bucks. The tip was almost 4 bucks. When the mean old lady saw that I was a tipper - she tried to make small talk. Yeah - right,. make me feel welcome as I am leaving. Like the faux-Italians in the moves say, "forgetaboutit!"
Great service - terrible food. Not a second time.
Everything on their menu is AWESOME! My faves are the fried potato and cheese pierogies with Bacon and onions, the corned beef and Swiss croissant, and the split pea soup. The only thing that would make this place better is a friendlier receptionist. She always seems frazzled and is occasionally just plain rude. If you ever phone in an order I'm sure you'll get to experience her pleasantness.
Review Source:I love this place. Â It may not be the absolutely best food in the city but you can't beat the prices. Â Some of the soups are better then others, the cream of chicken or cream of mushroom is really good. Â It may sound a little strange but the pickle soup on Tuesdays is also really good. I've always stuck with the sandwiches or breakfast foods and have no complaints
Review Source:This is the place to go if you are in the mood for breakfast. Lots of options, and cheap. The best deal is the 2x2x2 breakfast with two eggs, two sausage and two pancakes. My friend once had the homemade pickle soup and said it was delicious. That said, do not go here for lunch or dinner. The food is terrible. BUT A DEFINITE YES FOR A GOOD CHEAP BREAKFAST.
Review Source:I hate to complain about P&P because they always have a solid meal for a good price... Â but their service has been hit or miss the last few visits. Â Again last night we waited forever for our waitress to come over the first time, and then waited an unusually long time for our meal. Â She wasn't around much in between. Â I'm not sure if they've been running short staffed or what. Â Â
Again, love the meals we eat there, a solid all around restaurant and our favorite all around place in the area...step up the service and I'd be a lot happier .
Stick with the Polski stuff, Â can't go wrong.
Their soups are as good as advertised, Â which is to say best in the southwest. Â well almost.
Perogies, Â stuffed cabbage, Â breaded pork loin, Â these are all winners, Â meal comes with soup or salad.
Breakfast is excellent as well. Â Although across the board the prices are a touch more than the neighborhood average. Â But the food is very very solid.
There are complaints about the service being slow. Â I can't disagree, Â but I guess i don't care, Â as long as i get a drink and some bread to gnaw on I am cool with it. Â I don't think our service expectations need to be so high on a $11 meal.
This is a comfortable little restaurant with friendly staff and decent service.
The menu is limited in it's selection because they are trying to do some sort of sampling tastes from around the world thing,which I don't think works very well.
It's kind of like the chicken sandwiches from around the world at Burger King.
Same thing just dressed up a little differently.
Why not pick one cuisine and make excellent food?
I had New England Clam Chowder which was mediocre at best and a Pesto Panini with spinach and chicken which was actually very good.
While I wouldn't choose this restaurant on my own but if a friend wanted to go I would not automatically rule it out.
The food is always delicious. The service is slow because everything is freshly prepared, not processed or frozen then reheated. You can taste the difference. I have been there 5 or 6 times and everything is always very good. It should be categorized as a Polish restaurant, not a "American-traditional" restaurant.
As to the "they sprinkle dill on everything" comment posted by another reviewer, I never received dill on Anything.
The food is very tasty freshly prepared, served hot and in plentiful portions. Soups are delicious. Free nibble of cake for dessert even at lunch time.
I was visiting my best friend, who lives in the neighborhood, we were hungry and she was craving the pancakes so we stopped in at Peaches and Pears.
The service was pretty horrible. SLOW is an understatement, I had to ask for refills on water and soda (only 1 free soda refill by the way), and she just seemed.....spacey. Other tables were obviously having problems too...In fact, when we were paying at the cashier near the door, she asked me how it was and I told her the service was bad-to her credit she took $2 off our total-but that wasn't even my only complaint.
We ordered a turkey club, the chocolate chip pancakes, and a mexican burger. The turkey club literally had possibly 2 slices of turkey on it. When I saw it, I my jaw dropped. The mexican burger was mozzerella, avocado and bacon. We couldn't decide what made it "mexican" other than the fact it had avocado on it-which was mostly black by the way. To their credit, the soups were good (chicken noodle and split pea) and the chocolate chip pancakes were really good, and the highlight of the meal, but overall there were too many problems and I won't be back.
My husband and I have been there 3 times. Each time hoping the next time would be better. Well, Sunday was our last time.
We arrived there at about 8:30 am. Â It was not at all crowded. We were immediately seated. We were served coffee soon after we were seated and the coffee was refilled frequently. After we placed our order, we waited at least 30 minutes before being served our food. Â Neither of us ordered anything unusual. I had eggs, bacon and toast, my husband had biscuits and gravy. Not only did it take was too long, but it was cold. everything on our plates was cold. There were at least 4 servers that we had noticed, so being short staffed was not a reason.
For the first time ever we actually got up with out eating our meals. We stopped to tell the hostess about of dissatisfaction and we left. Â Had this been the first time we were not happy, we never would have left. But having had given this restaurant 3 chances, we felt it was the right thing to do.
Fabulous find! While this may not be a restaurant I would have ventured into on my own I am quite thankful for the recommendation. If you are in the mood for traditional Polish food and a smathering of American options, head right into Peaches & Pears.
The interior is bright and open, the staff is friendly and the food sure is delicious. It is a good family restaurant where the hostess still cashes you out at the front of the place. And even better, the kind of place that serves Jello with a dollop of whipped cream for dessert! I was sold right there and knew it would become one of my new favorite lunch destinations.
(I recommend the Cream of Mushroom Soup to start your meal and dumplings or roasted potatoes to compliment your entree).
