i'm still partial to the Red Apple (~3100 N. Milwaukee). it's a buffet with traditional polish food. definately a neighborhood place, nothing fancy. i think it's about $5-6 for the buffet. a little further away from the city, but worth it, is the Old Warsaw (corner of Harlem and Lawrence) it's also a buffet. nicer atmosphere, larger selection, better quality food, live polka music on the weekends. buffet is around $15 (weekends).

I thought the food was authentically Polish with a French touch. The chef was trained in a French school. I thought the food good and not out of line cost-wise. It was a nice touch to tradition.

There was a place on S. Cicero (I think) sort of near Midway called something like Mabenka. Very good food, reasonable, homey. Clearly a popular place.

Located on the west side of Cicero Ave just before you get to 79th Street. Depending on traffic it is approx. 10 to 15 minutes south of Midway airport. Richard H. wrote: > There was a place on S.

>fantastic pierogi to take out. HIGHLY recommend it. Ah, you must be talking about: Kasia's Polish Delicatessen 2101 W Chicago Ave, Chicago, IL 60622-4821 Phone: (773)486-6163 Yes, they do have fantastic pierogis (and great soups, too). You can also purchase the pierogis at many Chicagoland grocery stores in the frozen food section.
