All religious organisations should follow suit! Anyway, just follow the signs that lead into a room that has a counter with chafing dishes and some industrial sized fridges. Someone actually approached me, asked if it was my first time, and helped me to order! P.S. He also tried to upsell me, so that guy was doing his job. In comparison to dining out, prices are quite reasonable. A dozen pierogies were ~$8, a tall plastic container of soup was $6, $10 for 8 smallish, but adequate sized cabbage rolls, etc. Menu is also online, so you can call ahead! With the exception of the baked goods, everything else is made on-site. Soup was really tasty and garlicky! It only had goosha of beets. Rice/pork cabbage rolls were REALLY good. There were other kinds available as well. They also stamp a loyalty card with each purchase and when it's full, you get some bonus pierogies. I'd definitely go back to try some other EE specialties! Btw, it's takeout only. So no place to sit. Service was nice, but more "relaxed". Lady in front of me was ordering a feast!

From what I understand, Friday has more singing, and Saturday more dancing. Even if you don't understand the language, it is so much fun to enjoy. Service is definitely on the slow side - they could hire a couple more waiters. - Borscht: always a good way to start a meal. Soup was nice but nothing out of the world. I enjoyed the smoked meat pieces that were added in. The garlicy buns that came with it were nice and fluffy and delicious. 4.5/5 - Family meat platter with buckwheat and sauerkraut sides: a hefty platter. Nice smoked flavour in a lot of the meats. Everything was juicy and well seasoned. There was enough variety so it didn't feel redundant or monotonous. Usually I am intimidated by blood sausage, but this one was delicious. Does not have a very strong iron flavour, it is moreso umami and meaty. One platter can feed a family of 4 no problem. Sides were well portioned. 5/5 - Sour cherry varenyky: the dough felt a bit thick to me, and I would have loved more sour cherry on top rather than the maraschino cherries. The maraschino cherries are very sweet and pack a different flavour punch, which draws the attention away from the sour cherry filling. 3/5 - Kvas: delicious rye bread flavoured, non-alcoholic beverage. The flavour was rich enough and not too sweet. Makes for a perfect meat and bread combo. 5/5

The decor inside is quite impressive and the food is even better. We ate a couple of things, the Fried Stuffed Buns and the Chicken Kyiv, and they were both terrific. Both dishes packed plenty of flavor and came accompanied with delicious sauces that enhanced them considerably. Barrel House Korchma seems like a really cool place to have a drink (or three), so I'm sure I'll be returning.

The restaurant was relatively empty, and one of the hosts played piano throughout the night. We were a party of 13, and took their recommendation of ordering the four-course special. This included a soup, perogie and lecso appetizer, combination platter, and a giant dessert crepe. I would suggest ordering one or two less than the number of people as the portions are quite large. Much of the food was mediocre, but the soup, pasta, and crepe were delicious. Definitely a step out of my comfort zone, but overall a good meal.

Enter the door on the north side of the building, following signs to help you find the way to where their perogies are! I got Ready to eat (take out) - Potato and Cheddar Cheese Perogy - Sauerkraut and Mushroom Perogy Frozen - Potato and Cheddar Cheese Perogy - Sauerkraut and Mushroom Perogy - Mushroom Vushka The take out perogies were great, especially the potato & cheddar one. I am not a fan of potato & cheddar cheese perogies - and I wanted to try their potato & cottage cheese one. But they were sold-out when I was here. It was around 4:30pm. So, I got the potato & cheddar. But surprisingly the potato & cheddar tasted great! Right saltiness. They bring out the best of potato flavor, fluffy yet creamy texture, with a hint of cheddar cheese - oh they were sooooo good. I felt that the sauerkraut and mushroom one was a bit too sour for my liking. I wished for more mushroom flavor in it as well. But the wrapper itself had character, natural, chewy and soft. Nothing goes wrong with this wrapper! Frozen perogies were a bit tricky. Unlike other store bought frozen perogies, they came in tin-foil container, and it instructs to heat in the oven n 20-25 mins. One container had 12 pcs, which is too much for my household (2 persons). I tried to boil a few, which turned out to be flabby leaking perogies. Then I tried to fry a few, adding a bit of water. Which was a huge success! Most impressive was Mushroom Vushka. Full of Mushroom flavor enclosed in this tasty wrapper. Addictive. I should come back for this again. I liked this place a lot, humble and truly tasty! Cannot wait to try more food here!
