Bohemian Crystal Restaurant

Went 9/27/22 for one last dinner since they are planning to close at the end of the week. Arrived at 11:00 AM opening time and the dining room was filled already since everyone else had the same idea! Got #03 for the 2nd seating and waited approx. 35 min. so not too bad. They had a special menu for these busy days - plenty of main course options to choose from. Had choices soup or salad, main course, dumplings or potatoes, sauerkrauts or green beans, kind of kolatcky. Came with rye breads. Coffee extra. Dinners were generous and we had plenty to take home. Very good and delicious as always. Will miss the place that has been there over 40 years.

Amazing staff and the food is phenomenal. The prices are great as well. I would highly recommend this great place to have dinner!

Was in a banquet room after a funeral. Great service and food! Too bad I forgot to get more pictures of the food bowls/plates of pork coming out!

Good food and pleasant server. Always enjoy going here with my sister for a special treat. We usually both get breaded pork tenderloin. This is the first time today we had an hour wait , but it's because lots of people found out that they soon will be closing for good Been a favorite place to go for many, many years. They will be missed....

I lived on the border with Czechoslovakia, and this place reminds me of home. Simple, honest, delicious European home cooking. The decor is home and dated, in the best way possible! The staff is very attentive, and the food came out hot and quick. If you want to know how European home cooking should be done, check them out.Parking spacePlenty of parkingParking optionsFree parking lot

So very sad they are closing doors. More than 4 generations of my family celebrated meaningful celebrations there. Nothing in burbs compare with this Czech quisine. Good food always, excellent! Always enough to take home. Can't forget to mention unequaled service by wait staff always, always! Miss you already Bohemian Crystal!

Thank you, owners and staff, for so many years of wonderful and delicious service. We will all miss your smiles, stories and authenticity. There will never be another restaurant like The Crystal. I'm sorry to see you close but time does march on, I guess. Thank you, again. We all love you!

Closing Sun, Oct 2. after 41 years. It was delicious. We went Tues, got front row parking at 10:20am. They let us in about 10:45. It was wonderful. Now where can we go for bread dumplings, breaded pork tenderloin, roast duck?? We drove in from Sandwich & Somonauk, IL.

2 weeks before closing they printed a special menu with $3-5 price increases across The board. This should not be allowed . They really know to thank all the customers that have come there for a last and final meal . This is price gouging to the ultimate .

The food was very good fresh and the service was fast
