I wanted the crab cake special, which the lady told me they were out (I suspect they probably never have that...) Instead got the kielbasa with haluski and four plain pierogies. To their credit, the pierogies were huge and pillowy-soft, but unfortunately there was no flavor. Everything was swimming in melted butter. Haluski and kielbasa weren't bad but not mind-blowing either. It's a basic taste and if you go in with that expectation, you'll probably enjoy it. I did appreciate that all the women working were Eastern European, and the service was pretty good.

Heck, I've been a customer since their start in the early 2000s. Whether buying ingredients from the market to cook at home or grabbing something from the restaurant, it's always delish.

I got to try their cheddar potato pierogies as well as a chocolate wafer, apricot drink, and kvas from the store part. The pierogies were great. Warm and fluffy on the inside. Filled to the brim with potato and cheese. A bit oily, though. Good amount of onion on top without being overwhelming, and a solid price for the portion. Definitely delicious. And, all the items from the store were great too. The wafer was pretty basic for the price, but still good. Great apricot drink, super refreshing. And the kvas...I missed this a lot. So good, great price honestly. All in all, definitely stop by if you are in the Strip District!

Everything I've ever had here was delicious. I love that they have a huge selection of some unique pierogi flavors and all of them are able to be cooked for dine in at the restaurant (a lot of other pierogi places only have two or three flavors you can actually order for dine in). If you order them traditionally cooked they ask you with or without onions and if you order them deep fried, they come with a side of sour cream. They also have a huge variety of delicious home made soup. My favorite is the stuffed pepper soup, but they are all extremely delicious. I love the Polish Platter because it gives me a taste of Polish comfort food. (although I do with there was an option for a sausage add on). Service was friendly and the place is very well kept. I highly recommend dining here!

After a reasonable wait, our foods were brought to our table. Here are my ratings for our foods: Polish Platter - 4.2 stars - I received three pierogies (4.5 stars, handmade in their Irwin location; I chose the potato-cheese flavor), one stuffed cabbage (4.5 stars), and haluski (3.5 stars, wide thick noodles). 4-cut Chicken Parmesan Pizza - 4 stars - This small pizza had a thick crust, a good sauce, little cheese, and an interesting flavor of chicken parmesan. The total price for these two foods plus a bottle of water was $25 plus tax and tip.

What a charming, delicious spot for home cooked comfort food!…read moreThis is a trendy spot (for valid reasons) so they do sell out of things and there are often lines. But the lines and waits are worth it! I felt like I was transported back in time to eating at my grandparents house. There is just that cozy feel in the atmosphere, service and taste and quality of the food. They have their standard menu but also offer monthly and weekly specials (like specialty pierogi flavors). They have the Polish Platter (which is a delightful combination of pierogi, sausage, golabki) and you can get sides and salads you don't often see served at restaurants (like the mizeria cucumber salad). The food is absolutely delicious and you can taste the love that went into preparing it. I would say I wish this was a little closer to home, but my wallet and waist line are probably better off for it being a bit of a drive. But it is definitely worth a special trip!

IMPORTANT TIPS: get in early, especially Saturday. They will run out of menu items quickly, and…read moreseating is very limited (maybe 6 or 7 bar seats, 3 or 4 indoor tables, and they may put a few tables for two outside). I ordered at 1 PM and got my food 35 minutes later as they were that busy. That said, Polska Laska is amazing. Many varieties of pierogies are offered, but since the ones I wanted were sold out, I got the Farmer Cheese and Green Onion Pierogi. The fresh herbs and cheese inside the pierogie were savory and rich, and they were cooked to perfection with slight crisp. Served with dill and sour cream, this is real Polish comfort food here. The "sides" (the Haluski was practically another meal!) were just as good as the main dish. The Boston brown bread had almost a cupcake like texture and consistency and was slightly on the sweet side. The haluski was nice too - tiny during bites nestled between cooked cabbage. It was worth the wait. The service was good; as busy as they all are, they still took time to be nice. You must come. Five stars.

You might be wondering, why give pierogies five stars? Easy answer: these are the best pierogies…read moreI've ever had, and I'm not even a pierogi fan! I ordered the potato, cheese, and jalapeño pierogies, and they were amazing! The jalapeño gave them just the right amount of heat so you knew it was there, but it wasn't so spicy that it overpowered the other flavors. You order at the counter, and the ladies get right to work preparing your meal. I watched them drop the pierogies into boiling water, and once they were ready, they topped them with onions and melted butter. Simple, fresh, and absolutely perfect. I was hungry and ordered six pierogies, but these things are BIG! I could only manage three. That tells you something about their size, but not nearly enough about how good they are. I'm already looking forward to coming back for more. And if you knew me, you'd understand just how much of an endorsement that is coming from someone who isn't even a pierogi fan!

Think of walking into the basement of her old, very old, church. Looking around at all the old white haired ladies, (old is relative now...) as they smile and have a word or two or ten for everyone who walks into the door. Think of the smell of frying onions. Frying in lots and lots of butter. Grandma taking you by the hand, telling shy you to say hi to her friend Dorothy or Deloris or Irene. (No Taylors or Brianna's here, thank you very much). Grandma let's go of your hand while she digs into her little change purse for her rolled up bills and some loose change on the bottom. She smiles at you as she hands you an extra quarter - you smile back because you know that means cake at the little table in the back of the room. Grandma takes two plates, each holding a handful of lightly pan fried, doughy (but not too doughy) pierogis. Covered in fried onions and dripping with butter. A dollop of sour cream on the side. Today it's potato and sauerkraut. Last week was potato and cheese. I can't wait to see if next week is farmers cheese. If you can close your eyes and remember that walk. If you can still see Gladys. If you can still taste the buttery onions. If you can still feel the love that you and your grandma shared. If you can do all of this, then I can guarantee you will love Cop Out. For those of you who have never experienced pierogis purchased in a church basement during lent; I still guarantee you'll like Cop Out. I live 800 miles away. I can't think of a single church that serves pierogis, especially homemade ones. We are in the Deep South, afterall. I do take my grandkids to fish fries during lent. I hope I'm making similar memories for them, though even the best piece of fish fry fish is no match for the pierogis that both the church ladies and Cop Out dish out.

If you are looking for incredible, authentic pierogies around Pittsburgh, Cop Out Pierogies in Etna is a must-visit. The first thing you notice is the outstanding quality and freshness of the dough, which is always perfectly tender and never too heavy. What really makes them stand out is their massive variety of fillings, ranging from the traditional potato and cheese to wilder options like buffalo chicken or even dessert flavors. The portions are generous and you can tell everything is made from scratch with a lot of care. It's easily one of the best spots in the city to satisfy a serious pierogi craving.

Now, stop imagining, because Krakus Polish Deli & Market in Boardman, Ohio, is that magical land, and it is the holy grail of pierogies, kielbasa, and all things Polish food-related. If you haven't been yet, your taste buds are straight-up missing out. First of all, let's talk pierogies, these little pockets of heaven are to die for. Like, not even exaggerating. I tried the classic cheese and potato ones, and I'm pretty sure I saw a light flash before my eyes. Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, these pierogies are so good they should be illegal. But wait--there's more! They do weekly pierogi specials, and trust me, each week is a new flavor adventure you won't want to miss. The cabbage roll; Heavenly. The sausages... Let me tell you, if there's a better kielbasa on the planet, I don't know it. The market is like a treasure chest of authentic Polish foods, we're talking everything my Polish grandfather used to keep stashed around the house, like sauerkraut pickle jars (which I'm 100% sure he got directly from the motherland), obscure teas, crunchy wafers, and probably some mysterious cured meats you didn't even know you needed in your life. And then there's the prices. I don't know how they're doing it, but you could feed an entire village of hungry Babcias (grandmas) on a budget here. Incredible value, folks. But--here's the catch--the hours are... um, "quirky." Like, if you're planning to roll up for a late-night pierogi binge, you might want to double-check their hours because they close early. It's kind of like they really want you to enjoy the pierogies, but on their schedule. So, don't be that guy who rolls in at 7:15 pm and finds the door locked. Trust me, I've been that guy. So, check the hours, make sure you're ready to dive headfirst into some of the best Polish food you'll ever eat, and prepare to have your mind--and stomach--blown. Krakus is like stepping into your Polish grandma's kitchen, if your grandma was a magical food wizard who had a secret stash of pierogies she didn't share with anyone. GO HERE. Seriously. If I could give this place 6 stars, I would.

Although not Ukrainian, this restaurant has very similar flavors. The inside was incredibly charming and very cozy. The restaurant is inside of a small house. We were taken into a side room that did not have any windows, but was uniquely decorated. We shared the fruit compote drink, which was very good. We also had a Kachapuri bread with mashed potatoes and cheese and their signature dish which was meat and rice. Everything was very good in the service was great. I believe that the food was likely Halal, although I can't be for certain. They did observe the Muslim call to prayer while we were there and offered prayer mat to guests who wanted to pray.
