"This iconic Polish restaurant in Logan Square is our favorite place for any occasion involving the sentence, “Let’s get Polish food.” Staropolska has enough dark wood to make you slightly concerned about deforestation, but nonetheless creates the kind of environment that’ll make you wish it was snowing outside. The long menu is perfect for people who want to share, and the $39 “Polish Platter” is where to start. It comes with sausage, pierogies, potato pancakes, plums rolled in bacon, paprika chicken, various picked things, and our favorite stuffed cabbage in Chicago—which is thoughtfully served in a cup so it doesn’t leak onto everything else." - adrian kane

"Pierogi are essentially carbs — mashed potatoes — wrapped in more carbs — dumpling skins — and then coated in butter or sour cream or both. Can they possibly be any more comforting? There’s plenty of pierogi in heavily-Polish Chicago, especially along Milwaukee Avenue, but some of the finest specimens come from Staropolska in Logan Square." - Naomi Waxman, Ashok Selvam, Eater Staff
