Old Prague Restaurant

We came in February 1, 2025 with a large group including children. They were open on this day for the ice carving festival, check if they are open before you come. The bartender/server/waiter was going above and beyond.I have been to a lot of Central/Eastern European restaurants and the food here was top notch.Please remember they only take cash.

First of all service. I'm a single woman who, after seeing that it was no longer a hot and sunny day in Vermilion, i opted for Old Prague. I'm Slovak and haven't had good, Slovak potato pancakes since my mother died. Prague is Czech, similar but not the same.Anyway, two people were dining outside, and I walked inside a pretty sizable place. Dark and not a soul in sight. I called out to see if anyone was there. Not a bartender or server outside, not one inside. AH! A peep out of the kitchen door and server appears, telling me that yes, there was a bartender for the double bar. Too dark inside; I sat at the then-empty outside bar. Alas! A not-so-jovial man drops menu on me and leaves to wherever. All of a sudden, three bikers sit at the bar. They were big, Harley guys. Bartender comes out, greets them with a flourish, and they all four start jabbering. I meanwhile am suddenly invisible because I don't speak bike. He brings me club soda after I asked (no water brought). Brings my drink w/o a word. Another guy comes in. Kissed his but. Biker. A couple comes in. Bikers.BOTTOM LINE I WAS LIVING IN A MACHO WORLD, who could have cared less I was there.FOOD. My 'potato pancakes' came with my side of sauerkraut. Pancakes? No, they were like potato medallions. Good taste but not pancakes. Sauer kraut on the swwet side.ATMOSPHERE: See above. Next trip, they're off my list. Yelp, why is editing impossible? A few spelling errors.

We had a nice experience last week at Old Prague. Crystal, our server, was very pleasant and helpful. Yes, the menu is limited and unusual, but the potato pancakes were delicious and the apple strudel was good if not extraordinary. The inside/outside bar looks like a good time but we were a little chilly so we opted for inside, which has interesting posters and the like. Ozzy Osbourne seemed to be a fav. There was no live music when we were there but they have it as often as possible. Thanks to Crystal who really took good care of two old ladies!

Fast friendly service. The sauerkraut balls were delicious. We also ordered the special of the day and it was fantastic!

Good food, nice selection slow but polite service. We had birthday dinner with 15 people.Not so much good for kids.

This restaurant is in my hometown yet I had somehow never been there in all of my 41 years. On a road trip I thought it'd be fun to take my in-laws since my MIL is Czech. I vibe is fun and lively and it appears they have live music regularly which is nice. The food however leaves much to be desired. The chicken paperkash is bland and boring but simple. The spatzel according to my MIL is good but she was very disappointed that it wasn't served with applesauce. Service was fine but the drinks are grossly overpriced. Stop in if you're looking for a fun time but not if you're looking for a heat or unique meal.

I am being generous and giving 4 stars as this place is having difficulties with staffing and they really are trying their best to get back to normal operations after Covid.All of us enjoyed our meals and the food was tasty, but the presentation was lacking and the menu is extremely limited. My wife and I had the schnitzel with spaetzle and it was prepared perfectly. Thin light coating, not greasy and the spaetzles were obviously homemade and it was served with a wonderful gravy. But it came with no vegetable and so the plate looked a little plain. Maybe include some rote kraut, or a cucumber salad to bring some life to the dish.We also tried the potato pancakes and roast pork...all were delicious. The apricot pierogis were fantastic. The menu at this time is extremely limited with only a few entrees but hopefully they will get back to normal. It's clear to me that they can churn out some wonderful dishes and their full menu looks great. I do plan on returning once the full menu is available.They have a nice bar area and patio with a nice selection of imported beers. I was glad to see lots of people at the bar as I really want to see this restaurant get back on its feet.

First time here. Really wish this place was closer to home. They have a dining area as well as a bar inside and outside. I noticed a pool table in one of the rooms. This establishment has a homey feel like you're in someone's grandmother's house. And i loved it! We stopped in on our way back home from the island. Awesome customer service. We sat at the bar because it was so lovely outside. I had duck wings and chicken paprikash with dumplings. So yummy. Wish I had taken photos.

Not a fan! Never in my life have I been spoken to like Vera (the owner perhaps?) spoke to me and my friends! If I could leave zero stars I would! Never going back!

Food was bland, they didn't have cabbage rolls because it wasn't in season (we were there in the fall when cabbage was for sale everywhere).Very disappointed!!
