Red Apple Buffet

Amazing high quality old world fare for a reasonable price. The service is outstanding. The food is made with high quality ingredients. We come here at least twice a year. They also welcome parties of over 35people on weekdays but is only open from Friday night to Sunday night. This is a great Chicago culinary landmark.

I came here due to YouTube Food Vlogger Mikey Chen. Plus it's a polish buffet, how could you not want to try it. Inside the atmosphere definitely has a European feel to it. Probably Polish, that would just make sense. They are only open on Saturday and Sunday and close at 8 pm. So if visiting from out of town that can make things difficult.

The meal starts out with a cup of soup, in my case Chicken Noodle. It was very good and definitely warmed me up on a cold day. Next up was the buffet. This buffet had a plethora of options on it. I got a little bit of mostly everything. My one real disappointment was the food temp was lukish warm. It was all still very good, however I imagine it would have been even better hot. My favorite thing was the ribs and a cheese wrap thing. Both delicious. I didn't really not like any thing. Even the cold chicken was still good.

The staff seemed very stern, just their way I guess. They were very efficient though.

Overall for me a 4 star review. Not the best I've had, however it is the only Polish buffet I've had. Would I return? Absolutely.

We wanted to offer a luncheon for our dear friends and family, following my father's Memorial Service. We chose the Red Apple because we knew the food was excellent and would offer a wide variety of things for all our guests. The staff worked with us to assure that things would go smoothly. For a small fee, we were offered table linen that was prestine. Due to weather conditions, some of our guests (seniors) were unable to attend.

The staff was able to make a price adjustment to what we agreed on, which helped with our budget.

Some of us were even allowed to take a plate back to those not in attendance. We truly enjoyed our time together. The atmosphere felt intimate and the decor was lovely.

It was semi private, so it felt very much like family dinner.

Everyone enjoyed trying the different foods. It had been a stressful week for me, so having things go smoothly was a God send.

We had a beautiful experience and will recommend them for those wishing to have large gatherings.

I have always come away happy with the Red Apple in the past. We will be back.

A classic of Polish food in Chicagoland. The Polish buffet, which has been in existence for many years, serves traditional Polish cuisine. Countless selection of Polish dishes and all kinds of side dishes and desserts. In addition, everything in a traditional Polish interior design. Great service and clean everywhere. A great place for someone who really wants to eat their fill. Although it is only open on weekends, it is worth checking out.
