Jolly Inn

My family went through a difficult time recently; I had no energy to cook, and decided to call JI. It was in a last moment, but they still took my order for traditional Xmas Eve meatless dinner. Everything was delish and affordable. The manager, Bozena, was super kind. If you crave Polish food, run there to try a variety of tasty Polish dishes.

This is the best Polish buffet in the Chicago area! Right when entering the hostess always greats guests with a smile. The food is always amazing and fresh. Truly homemade dishes which taste authentically delicious. I recommend the apple fritters and cheese blintzes, this place does them the best. The banquet hall at this location is also spectacular, I’ve attended several events and have never been more impressed by their service. The waiters are very attentive and walk around tending to everyone’s needs. The food is served hot and delicious, with the waiters making known what is served. Vegetarian, vegan, gluten free options available too! This place is the best!

I would like to start off by saying ”Thank You So Much” to everyone at Jolly Inn for making our Wedding Day everything we could ever dream of! It came out so Beautifully perfect and that is Thanks to manager and the team. We got so many compliments from our guests saying that the Banquet was one of the most Gorgeous Venues they’ve ever seen and how much they Loved the Food !! Everything went over so perfect our Wedding Night… So again Thank You so much for helping in making our Wedding day PERFECT. Love, Bekhbileg&Battseren

I would imagine that Polish people would like this buffet, but I wasn't sure whether I would or not. Well, I do. There are a lot of good things to eat and they very much come under the category of good home cooking. I especially liked the breaded pork with applesauce and mashed potatoes and gravy, the potato pancakes with sour cream and applesauce, the chicken, the sausages, and the salad bar. There are many more items to choose from, and you walk out feeling like you had a real meal, not just a burger or pizza.

Nice people, clean place. Service was very good and the food was good, however a couple non polish selections. Flan, which is a Hispanic desert was offered on the dessert bar. It was good but I felt it was inappropriate considering we expected polish buffet and drove quite a few miles from where we were staying on our trip from Florida. Try it, it is good just my take.
