Best Family Style Restaurants in Portage Park

The Pratha bread is very authentic and melts in your mouth. Try the Mango chicken - sooo good with fresh mango and a bit of a kick!!!

We love the variety and flavor, both in cocktails and menu. We visit often because they have a kids menu, perfect for our toddler. She devoured their kids pizza and ice cream and for this reason the restaurant is one of our favs! The service people are attentive, kind and friendly. We're fans of the piñata cocktail, aguacate salad, calabaza, and the fish tacos. For dessert, the nieve frito is delicious.

The Duplex has been on our list for awhile and I’m happy to say it did not disappoint. It all started with our server Josh S., who was fantastic- he was very personable and attentive without being overbearing, made great suggestions and even brought us a couple after brunch cocktails on the house. The chicken and donuts with hot honey were unbelievable. The chilaquiles with chicken tinga were also very good, just not on the same level. The Bloody Mary was just ok- the bacon was a nice touch but no celery, pickle or olives to really give it flavor. Loved the Blind Monkey banana infused cocktail. All that said, what really made it stand out for us (besides Josh) was the live DJ. It was a bit loud but we loved hearing our old school favorites - it just brought such a great energy to the space.

It was a great experience. My wife loved the small plates and the staff were extremely kind. It is definitely worth going back to :)

We have been twice this year ( live out of state and were visiting our son for college parents weekend.) very welcoming staff. Dining room was full up quickly. We had Polish draft beer. Enjoyed the family meal which is a shared feast of soup, potato pancakes, sausage, sauerkraut, cucumber salad, chicken, beef stew and sweet crepes! Delish! Hearty ! Filling! Great service. Most highly recommend.
