Chicago, the largest city in the midwestern United States, is home to many descendants of Polish immigrants and features a vibrant Polish community. Economic and structural changes in Poland brought many Poles to the United States from the 1850s to the early 1920s, and they continued to flow in waves after World War I. Today, you can find many restaurants that serve traditional Polish food American-style in all areas of the city, including the south side.

1. Mabenka Restaurant

   • Located in the Burbank suburb of south Chicago, Mabenka offers Polish and Lithuanian cuisine for breakfast, lunch and dinner in what it describes as a "festive casual dining environment." The restaurant offers traditional dishes such as pierogi, or Polish dumplings, and golabki, Polish stuffed cabage. The restaurant's banquet hall can seat up to 100 guests for a family-style meal, and you can book it for wedding receptions and birthday parties. You can also take part in Polka Night, which takes place every Wednesday night at 7 p.m. in the banquet hall.
