The pierogies and blintzes are tasty and affordable. They have several vegetarian pierogi options. Pierogis start at $0.90 each (cooked), and blintzes are $1.80. I was going to comment that I wish their pierogis came with sour cream or something, but I just saw on their menu that for $0.55, you can add EXTRAS: TOPPINGS (SAUERKRAUT, COLESLAW, SOUR CREAM, APPLE SAUCE, STRAWBERRY) I wish they had online ordering, which would make the individual ordering of each item simpler. read more

Always check hours online - and watch your step when you walk in the front door. There are a ton of food items on this menu - including a refrigerated section for soup, frozen pierogies, and there are other salads and desserts. You do get a discount if you pay in CASH. I tried some pierogis - potato and sweet cheese. They appear to be fried as they are a bit crunchy, but I like them like that. They are pretty full pierogis. You can order them frozen to go home and cook on your own - or have them cooked to order. I also got the order of polish sausage w/kraut and some fries. The polish sausage is snappy and the kraut is great. The bun I could do without, but I just removed it and ate on it's own. The fries were salty with a mix of crispy and soggy ones. I will definitely be back to try more options and more pierogis! Inside is small, but they added some extra eating in the room next door. You can dine in if you wish, it never seemed too crowded. read more

The **pierogi** here appear to be deep-fried, so they tend to be on the oily side. The dining area is small but if you want to indulge in this type of pierog offering, this place is for you! I had cheddar/potato pierogi, sauerkraut pierogi, and cherry pierogi. read more

The food from this place is good. I won't argue that. I had come here very hungry one day and it was about 45 minutes to close, but there was a woman in front of me ordering that just would not shut up. She kept going on and on, I guess this is a place she only comes to once in a while which I understand but 15 minutes? Then I got to the counter to make an order and I said it's "for here "I was then told that all the orders had to be to go. There was a half hour left of this business being open? Nothing on the sign indicates anywhere saying that they close their dining room half an hour before closing time. So just so everybody knows their actual dining room closes about a half an hour before closing time. I was told it's because my food would take a while to make and the person needs to have time to close down the shop. So it would take like a whole 30 minutes to clean a dining room that looked perfectly OK? I mean I shouldn't judge their cleaning practices but I guess it just threw me off because if a business is open until seven they should have something somewhere stating that their dining room closes early. it's not a bar. A bar will usually close their kitchen and a certain time and that I understand. Anyway, I like the food from here, but was disappointed highly that the place closes its dining room early with no warning. read more

Only the best Pierogis!!! And very reasonably priced. Their Philly steak sandwich is ALWAYS a hit. Made to order and fresh food.

The restaurant was small but clean, they seemed to have a descent selection of frozen, and cooked food, but the customer service was horrible. I've never ordered pierogies before, I don't know what to eat them with or how to order them; I let the woman know this was my first time visiting the restaurant. She said, "We just turned the cooker off, you have to order frozen." I said, "How do I order frozen?" She said, "8, 9, or 10 a dozen" and then waited by the cash register for me to order. There was no explanation about which ones were good, sweet vs savory, dipping sauces, drinks, other foods that they sold, desserts, etc. Very much the attitude of, can you please order and leave so I can get back to what I was doing. The frozen pierogies came in a zip lock bag with no instructions. Even though I love local family owned places like this, I don't think I will be going back. I can go to Misch brothers and buy frozen food. read more

Wish their hours were changed because they're hours are open from T-Sat, but I can't complain about good their pierogis are. Sometimes I do get so/so service, but not to the point where I wouldn't come back. Their mushroom pierogis are my absolute favorite, and I enjoy coming here if I need something quick yet satisfying for lunch read more

The place is tiny but man do they pack in the flavor when it comes to pierogis. You can understand why the line at Pierogi Fest is down the block and around the corner. I was in there just to pick up some frozen pierogis for Thanksgiving but ended up getting a order of the loaded pierogis that were so good. They have a full menu and on Wednesday's they have stuffed peppers which I am sure are awesome and I will be back to try them. The pierogis are where it's at and they have tons of options from sweet to savory. Definitely will be back. read more

As a lifelong Pole and member of the Northwest Indiana Polish diaspora, I highly recommend Dans' pierogi. I recently picked up a few dozen spinach, mushroom, potato cheddar, meat, and cherry to share with friends in DC. We had a tough time picking a favorite, they were all great. I'll definitely be ordering some more next time I pass through. read more

It's as if my mom was in the kitchen cooking. The Chicken and rice soup along with the mushroom soups were perfect. Purchased 12 dozen pierogies and I can say they are excellent tasting. They are thick with filling and have great taste. read more

The food was amazing, especially the pierogi and the cheese blintzes! The woman at the counter couldn't have possibly been any sweeter. She was so kind. The dining area is small, but it has a really cute mom and pop shop vibe. read more

Best pierogis in the northwest. I recommend these to everyone I meet early on into even the most basic conversations. "hey man did you catch the game?" "Shut up and eat at Dan's." read more

Small place with a limited menu, that being said everything I ordered was great! Only reason I gave it 4 stars as opposed to 5 stars was because of the limited menu. It's location dictates its limited menu (not on a main thoroughfare). I would highly recommend this place if you have a taste for some Polish food. Their Pierogies are awesome, pan fried to perfection if you order there.. They offer different soups each week. I can't wait to try their pickle soup! If you're in the area, give them a try. read more

Best pierogis I've ever had! Took my siblings and we all absolutely loved them!! We will be going back!! Great service to top off some great food! read more

We stopped by passing thru town. We can't pass up trying pirogies. You order at the counter and they bring it to you. They also have frozen items to take home and cook as well. We tried the stuffed cabbage, sausage and kraut and pierogis. All were great. Very authentic. We took frozen pierogis, cabbage rolls and sausage home with us. This is a hidden gem. Stop in for a great meal read more

Nice little shop. Not much seating capacity, but a few tables to grab if you need to sit inside. Simple menu but everything we had was executed well. (Pierogies are not made with your grandma's love but pretty good.). Prices very reasonable for quality. Worth stopping by if in area. read more

As a Polish (born & raised in Poland) I had to try Dan's Pierogi today. I've heard of this place a lot and honestly I was very skeptical. I think it's very difficult to make a really good pierogi. So... I gave it a try... and i was positively surprised how delicious their pierogi are! 1. Thin dough! Very important! 2. Lots of filling! Very important! 3. Spiced just right! (I tried; potato-cheddar, meat, sauerkraut, spinach, and loaded potatoes). I absolutely will be back and will send there my Polish and American friends! Ps. Service was also very nice read more

Dans Pierogies - Their menu I love the variety and possibilities to mix! - Polish Near Me - Highland, Indiana

The most excellent of pierogies. Lunch specials served hot along with small eat in area. Pierogies sold by the dozen frozen. Small refrigerator contains soups, kraut, and sausage to go. Simple menu for dine in. Parking on side street was easy and available. Service was fast and server at the counter was patient with questions and ordering as a new customer. We will definitely be back and high recommend the place to others. read more

Great food we love everything there it's small but worth it stop in and try them out. Don't pass them up at pierogie fest

My girlfriend picked up two dozen frozen sauerkraut pierogies for me because she knew I would love these. And how right she was. In arguably the best pierogies I've ever had. Dough isn't too thick or too thin and perfect amount of delicious sauerkraut in every dumpling. Can't wait to go to the restaurant for some stuffed cabbage and stock up on more pierogies. read more

Being brought up on these Eastern European delicacies since birth, I have had my share of home-made, church-made, restaurant-made, Pierogi Fest-made and last but least favorite frozen. I've been around and have tasted many. Sadly, Dan's Pierogi's did not live up to my expectations. First off I arrived in the daytime. The place is dark inside, cool and uninviting. Put some lights on folks! Lights are so inexpensive to run, put them on! It wasn't very inviting from the get go. I took out a dozen of half meat and half kapusta. The dough is what makes these things live or die. These were dead on arrival (DOA). Like any dough, be it noodles or pasta, you can't keep these things warmed all day and expect superlative results. I found the dough to be too thick, heavy, gummy and dried up because they were sitting around for too long. Sadly, I have had far better. There is also a happy medium to the filling. Putting not enough filling will make them look like a deflated balloon and very unappetizing. The case at Dan's is that they are filled way too much, the opposite extreme. Pinprick them and they might explode I thought. A thin elastic dough should never be chewy or tough. It's a balancing act. You can't overpower a pierogi with way too much filling otherwise you defeat what you are trying to accomplish, the perfect pierogi. They should be served with melted real butter, sour cream or small cubes of bacon and onions. None of that was offered at Dan's. I tasted lifeless, heavy bland dough. You're going to go out of business putting too much product or filling in them at .75 cents each. That's not how you're going to maintain your existence! If you're going to base your business on P I E R O G I S They best be based on quality, taste, an exceptional product that was as great, if not better than your grandmother made, for if you fall short of that standard, you might as well hang it up, if they do not improve. I so wanted to like the pierogis at Dan's but they fell far short of my expectations. I hope over time they improve. read more

Food was great. Ended up ordered 48 total pierogies and was able to try all. Also, tried the cheese blintz and potato pancakes. Some pierogies were a little greasy, but overall very good. I really enjoyed the sauerkraut pierogie, and the potato and sweet cheese pierogies. Potato pancakes were great, order side of apple sauce, and was just motts apple sauce for a place that makes quality food I hope they will change to either homemade apple sauce or a better brand. Overall: I will return read more

Cashier was very rude but the pierogies were good . There was a sign outside seeking cashier help , hopefully they'll find better help because the food was really good read more

I have always enjoyed Dan's at Pierogi Fest, so as soon as I heard that they were opening in Highland, I was overjoyed. This shop does not disappoint! I head over there at least twice a month, and every time I am delighted by what I order. The cabbage roll is savory and filling for just $3 and the potato cakes almost taste better than my bushia's. I recommend the sweet cheese or sauerkraut pierogies if you are looking for something savory, and the strawberry pierogies if you are looking for something sweet. I highly recommend Dan's for all of your pierogi needs! read more

Staff member announced she was going to Dan's Pierogies today. Asked me if I wanted to order some. Absolutely !! Who doesn't love pierogies? I tried 3 flavors (sauerkraut/mushroom, spinach, and potato/cheddar). They were all delicious. I'm definitely going to go back myself and get some for my freezer. Very glad to have a dependable pierogi vendor here in Northwest Indiana. read more

Simple place with a limited menu & fair pricing. Friendly staff & good food. Pan seared perogies filled with goodness

Very good Pierogies always very friendly staff and helpful never disappoints and at a good price

I like Dan's pierogis and am willing to stand in line at Pierogi Fest to get my sweet cheese fix but I think it sucked that we had to wait an additional half hour after placing our order because half the flavors weren't ready yet. Please be more prepared next time or I'll spend my money elsewhere. You guys know you're popular and could have started cooking the pierogis ahead of time so they would be available at opening time. P.S. The stuffed cabbage is flavorless. read more

If you are looking for pierogies, this is the place to go. They are the best and they offer a great variety of savory and dessert. And they are very affordable!! Be sure to get plenty to take home!! They reheat perfectly and one serving will never be enough!! They will have you crying for more!! read more

The Pierogi are alright. Plenty of variety but that's about all that sets them apart from what I can get in the freezer section at the local grocery. Also, Pierogi is already plural, no need for the "es" at the end. read more

So I have had Dan's at the pierogi fest in Whiting numerous times. I have always enjoyed them. But I was under the assumption that they were homemade until I asked yesterday at the restaurant in Highland and was told they come from Chicago. Very disappointed to hear. Maybe the demand is too much but when places get too big we always see it happen quality goes down I hope this doesn't happen. Stuffed cabbage was good not as good as MOM makes, cabbage and noodles were good also read more

This place was recommended to us by a close friend who is a sweet, tough lady in her 60s who knows her pierogis and is an amazing cook herself. We took home a dozen of the meat pierogis, mushroom and kraut and potato and sweet cheese. We also got some stuffed cabbage and some potato cakes too. I'll just say that everything was delicious. The staff was also very friendly and treated myself and my son like family. Will definitely be back. Highly recommended. read more

Wow!! Food is so good. We had potato and cheese, meat and strawberry Friendly staff, clean Place and fantastic perogies Highly recommend that you try them. read more

Amazing taste. I tried the sauerkraut,meat,plum,potato and Cheddar cheese and the cherry. I have to say that I could not pick a favorite! They were all delicious. The staff is very friendly. You have the option to eat in or carry out. Their prices are very reasonable. The only disappointing part of my experience with that I was not aware of Dan's pierogi before today! I was so impressed with the flavor and the texture of the dough that I purchased 5 dozen for Christmas dinner read more

Dans Pierogies - 2 dozen (almost, I couldn't resist) assorted flavors, each as good ad the one before it! - Polish Near Me - Highland, Indiana

I'm no pierogi expert, I'll say that off the bat. But I'm used to the Warsaw Inn pierogi and use that as my baseline. I tried three types of pierogi here (meat, potato, potato & cheddar) and none were very good. But I'm giving this place an extra star because I really like the fact that you can get a LOT of a la carte items. Cabbage rolls, noodles and sauerkraut, etc. And they have soooo many pierogi varieties available. But the meat pierogi had an odd consistency and didn't have the flavor I'm used to. And the potato kinds had a bleh margarine-y flavor that just kinda tasted like they were cooked in old oil. The sour cream didn't really cover it up. I'm gonna give 'em another try, though, as I really hate the lack of ethnic food in the region, outside of a handful of great Italian and Mexican places. (Can't some Thai people move here?!) read more

Excellent pierogies! They have an extensive variety! My favorites are the mushroom/ sauerkraut and the potatoes and cheese if you want authentic polish pierogies, Dan's is the place, we by dozens and freeze them. You can buy them fresh or frozen and even have them cook some while you wait,like the loaded baked potato pierogie. My daughter loves their fruit filled dessert pierogies. read more
