Highlander House Restaurant & Bar 12333 South Harlem Avenue, Palos Heights, IL 60463

"The ambiance: This place is absolutely adorable. I love the decor and the design. The polish skirts on the waitresses are also flattering and a nice touch, although having been a waitress, I would miss having pockets. The staff: I ordered food for pickup over the phone. The hostess/waitress was very nice and answered all my questions. The food: ~ Full order pierogi - potato and cheese - $11.95 **** 4/5 This comes with a dozen pierogi ( did you know pierogi is the plural form? I just learned that! ;) topped with bacon and chives (I think), and a ramekin of sour cream. Unfortunately, in the 15 minutes it took to get home, these were only lukewarm by the time I ate them. Next time I need to try them right away, when they're hot. Regardless, these are yummy. They taste like mashed potatoes dumplings. I forgot to ask for no bacon on top, but I was able to pick that off. ~ Side warm cabbage $3 ***** 5/5 This sauerkraut was so flavorful! I was really stoked on this dish. I highly recommend you try their sauerkraut. Even my bf who doesn't like sauerkraut said it was good. ~ Kolaczky $1.50 **** 4/5 I ordered a strawberry kolaczky. The cookie was good. The strawberry jam was very mild in flavor. I like that it isn't sweet. Because of the lack of sweetness, my boyfriend wasn't a fan....but that's okay, more kolaczky for me!"

"Wonderful traditional authentic polish food! I'd give it 6 stars for the food if I could. Service was also very attentive and friendly!! Prices are great!! Atmosphere is nice (and decorated nice for the holidays). I wish this restaurant was closer to my hometown because it would become one of my "go-to" places. (Note: this is a true polish restaurant. Don't order an American cocktail... The house wine is very good and their specialty cocktail is so amazing!)"

"Delicious polish food. Very authentic home made flavors. Try the Polish Plate - it gives you a little of everything (gołąbki, kapusta, placek ziemniaczany, pierogi ruskie and kiełbasa)"

"First time there. Service was friendly and quick. Nice atmosphere. Food was great. I had the stuffed cabbage (2) with mashed potatoes and horseradish beets. Wife had the mushroom/sauerkraut and potato/cheese pieorgis, and they were really good. The sauerkraut soup was good too - really big bowl. Parking up front is real tight, but there is also parking behind the building. We'll definitely be back."

"10/10 recommend!!! I found this place just by Google search and my fiancé, who is Polish, had never been here so we decided to try it. From when we walked in we just loved it. The atmosphere is wonderful, the staff is super friendly, and the food is AMAZING! We ordered the Placek po Zbójnicku and Polski Talerz, both were so delicious; the potato pancake was perfectly crispy and seasoned, pierogis were super fluffy and melt-in-your mouth delicious, and the beef goulash was packed with flavor!! I could go on but you will just need to try for yourself. Next time we visit the area we will definitely be back."
