Chris GampatApril 10, 2017My friend got the Mac and Cheese and I got the cheddar bacon. Get the sour cream and the onions on the side. Mix them. Enjoy!
Emily WilsonSeptember 20, 2015Stick with the pierogies (fried Mac n cheese and boiled bacon cheddar are both great). Bag the cucumber salad. And get an order of helen's dip and a Long Island iced green tea.
Max RoseAugust 25, 2017VEGAN menu!! Great vibe, food, and owners-- plus a fully vegan menu! Can't wait to eat here again; all the pierogis are made fresh2order and--don't worry--the boiled are just as good as the fried ;)
AshleySeptember 13, 2015The pierogies were absolutely amazing! They tasted just like what you'd get in Poland and are made to order. We had the potato, bacon n cheddar, and the mac n cheese pierogies and they were delicious!
TaniaDecember 26, 2019We are originally from Ukraine and we do know the real taste of good dumplings. These Slovakien guys make them soooooo good! With potato and greens, blueberry ones are beyond delicious!
ZenFoodsterJanuary 15, 2017Scrumptious sauerkraut & potato + cheese fried Slovakian perogies w/ served w/ choice toppings: caramelized onions or marinated mushrooms. Don't forget the sour cream & a smear of mustard. 😋
SiobhánJune 23, 2018Came back when I realized I was about a block away and was not disappointed with the pierogies just as good as I remember and the staff the same lovely women too. Truly the best pierogies in Brooklyn.
LaurenJuly 14, 2015Go for the classic, "a boiled variety filled with a piquant sauerkraut and tossed in butter and chives" via New York Magazine/Grub Street | The 30 Best (New) Cheap Eats in New York [July 12, 2015]
We tried sauerkraut, jalapeño and potato & cheese. All were great, but the potato and cheese was particularly stellar. Nice selection of Slovak and Czech beers too, and friendly service.
Justin OrdovezaJanuary 11, 2017There are a wide variety of pierogies, you can have them boiled or pan fried and topped with various things. The sauerkraut pierogies are delicious.
