Sawa's Old Warsaw

Located at 9200 West Cermak Road in the heart of Broadview, Illinois, Sawa's Old Warsaw Restaurant has been a cornerstone of Polish‑American cuisine since 1973. Founded by World War II veteran Walter Sawa, the family‑run eatery offers a sprawling buffet featuring homemade pierogi stuffed with potato, cheese, or meat, golden‑brown potato pancakes, tender roast beef, and a hearty chicken soup that warms you on a chilly Midwestern evening. Guests can also enjoy classic Polish sausage, veal chop steak, stuffed cabbage rolls, beef goulash, and the daily rotating specials such as meatballs in dill sauce or shrimp on Fridays. The interior blends old‑world décor with modern comfort: wooden tables, vintage photographs of Walter’s wartime service, and a lively bar serving Polish beers and vodka. Three private dining rooms accommodate groups of any size, and a corner arcade provides video games for kids and adults alike. Open Tuesday through Saturday from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m., the restaurant welcomes families, birthday parties, and corporate gatherings, offering full‑service catering for events of 20 or more guests. Prices are moderate, with the buffet priced at $15 for adults and $9 for children, making it an affordable spot for a satisfying meal. Whether you’re craving a nostalgic taste of Warsaw or seeking a friendly venue for your next celebration, Sawa's Old Warsaw delivers generous portions, warm hospitality, and a true sense of community.
