2 reviews for Little Bohemian Restaurant
Now I like some solid hearty rustic European Food & Little Bohemia has it!
When I first moved to the Berwyn/Stickney/Forest View Area I found myself lost in downtown Riverside, decided to park the car and ask how the heck to get out of the neighborhood...and came upon Little Bohemia.
I had a schnitzel style lunch with breaded pork cutlet, tons of brown gravy, potato dumplings, & salad (I think it was cucumber salad). It was awesome; that lunch was exactly as my Oma would have made it herself.
I've been back one other time with my sister - we both had some kind of combination plates with dumplings, Something akin to Sauer Braten, the Schnitzel, & dessert and again - great food/great price!
The dining room as small and plain - almost tiny & you do get the feeling that you are eating in someone's home. So add cozy + comfort food = get out to the burbs and have a delicious meal already. Your Oma would be proud. Plus Little Bohemia is located on one of the non-windy roads of Riverside so you can find your way to/from the restaurant w/o any trouble at all - or take the Metra!
No reviews on Little Bohemia? Such a shame, because Little Bohemia is the near-west suburban area's best-kept secret.
Chicago's neighboring suburbs of Riverside, Berwyn, and Cicero still have a signifcant number of Czech immigrants, and this little restaurant still serves wholesome, home-style Czechoslovakian cuisine at very low prices.
It's small, but it's a place to come and eat dinners that you'd swear your grandmother was making in the back. Large dishes of dumplings, duck, pork (the breaded schnitzel-style is my favorite here), potato pancakes, sausage and other Old World European favorites.
The prices are low, and you're almost guaranteed you'll be taking some of your dinner to go; portions are that large.
I've been coming here literally since I was in diapers. Although the items on Little Bohemia's menu may not be very fancy, it's very hearty and delicious.
Parking, especially in the evening, is a breeze. During the day Little Bohemia is a quaint anchor to the small shops, bakeries, and cafes in Riverside's commercial center. It also backs up to the Riverside Metra platform and is within walking distance from the Brookfield Zoo.
