Lenas Pierogi House

Imagine a magical land where the smell of pierogies wafts through the air like a warm hug from your…read morePolish grandmother. 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.

Delicious food and the staff was very friendly. I will go back when I'm back in town.read more

MY FAVORITE PIEROGIS IN PITTSBURGH…read more Ever since I had this spot for the first time over three years ago when I lived in Coraopolis I haven't had a desire to go anywhere else for pierogis When I moved out here 2 years ago and found out there was one 10min up the road from me in the Wexford Plaza I nearly shedded a tear. This is actually my first time trying everything else as well The pierogis. Elite. Not pan fried or dropped in a frier. A good pierogis doesn't need that and you can't change my mind. Not thick in the dough or BATHED IN BUTTER. Fucking hate when places drowned them in butter We got, spinach and ricotta, buffalo chicken and potato and cheese. spinach and ricotta will always be my favorite pierogi BUT depending on my mood and of these 3 can be best to me The Halupki was fine. Won't recommend it. Filling was bland as fuck but the cabbage and sauce were great. Just give me that without the filling Haluski. Phenomenal. I've grown up with Haluski always being with bow tie noodles. Cam and I fight about this now an she can't change my mind so NONE of you can. But curious nonetheless to what you're used to The sauerkraut. Been awhile since I've one that kicked my dick in like this. Fermented long so niceee and vinegary AND has some of the tomato sauce in it. Elite THE KIELBASA OUT OF LEFT FIELD WHAT IN THE FUCK. This is undoubtedly the best I've ever had. Even if you don't like pierogis go for this alone. The smoke in each bite was something you get from a true BBQ spot I only have three other spots that interest me that I know will be contenders for my current favorite. Cop Out, Starlite Lounge and Polska Forgotten Taste REMAINS SUPREME. I regret not getting a gnocchi dish. Please get one for me Owners are Eastern European. They may not come off friendly but they are. Inside is very much Polish in terms of decor and layout.

Polish food is my comfort food, especially good, home made Polish food…read more They have a variety of flavors for pierogi and also have platters and combinations. Employees are helpful and friendly. you order at a counter and they will call your name or number when it is ready. There are a small amount of tables inside and a condiment station. I don't get Polish food often, so it is nice to have this option.

Unfortunately the service is entirely too slow for a lunch and the food is decidedly underwhelming when you've had much better versions of the dishes over the years.

I finally was able to visit Lena's Pierogi House while in Youngstown and it did not disappoint. It was a few months ago, but I'm just getting around to the review. It has been a really long time since I had real pierogi and I was really looking forward to trying Lena's food. The restaurant is a small charming place, and I met Lena personally. Very sweet, and one can tell she puts everything into her food. I ordered two order of pierogi, cheddar and potato and chicken paprikash. Both were absolutely delicious. I am looking forward to visiting again very soon! read more

In response to the reply from the business, it's not hard to make an odd number of pierogis and every other such restaurant does so. And telling me it's your policy isn't an answer. Yes, I know it's your policy. That's why I rated you poorly. read more

The consistency alone is enough to keep us coming back, but the food itself? It's something special. Let me start with the hummus. I don't even know how to say this without sounding dramatic, but it's hands down the best hummus we've ever had. It's unbelievably smooth, rich, and somehow manages to go with everything. And yes...I'm going to say it...dip your fries in it. Trust me on that one. And order the large size hummus to take home with you. The rice deserves its own moment too. Perfectly cooked, just the right amount of richness. I'm not sure if it's butter or oil or some magic in between, but whatever they're doing, it works. It's the kind of rice you keep eating even when you're full. We usually go for the chicken over rice, which comes with peppers and onions, and it's always flavorful, juicy, and perfectly seasoned. This is not bland food. Everything has depth. We've also had the three-meat combo (lamb, chicken, and beef), and every single piece is tender and cooked just right. It all comes together with that incredible red sauce and the garlic sauce...which I always order extra because I refuse to run out halfway through the meal. Add in the pita for the hummus, and it's just one of those meals you look forward to the entire drive home. And speaking of the drive...we will happily go 35-40 minutes out of our way just to pick this up. That should tell you everything. On top of all that, it's a family-owned place, and you can feel it. Customer service is warm and thoughtful. You'll often see the husband and wife there, sometimes their kids, and I believe his mother is in the kitchen and honestly, it shows. There's something about the food that feels cared for, not just made. We've tried a few different things on the menu and everything has been great, but the dishes I mentioned are what keep calling us back. Highly, highly recommend!!
