The Saucy Pierogi

Tasted like someone who was not Eastern European and knew nothing about making pierogies tried to specialize in pierogies. Also I couldn’t tell if I was cutting through my schnitzel or rubber. Service was nice though.

I’ve actually been following their food truck for years and was so excited to learn they were finally opening a location in Toronto. We went around lunch time so there wasn’t too many guests and we got their lunch menu which had a lot of great meal offers. I chose the two pierogies plate and side soup and was not disappointed. The soup of the day was a cabbage and bacon soup. Ugh, it was so good and since yesterday was quite a cold day in December it definitely hit the spot! My two pierogy plates were bacon and potato and cheese and potato. What I like about their pierogies is they fry them so they have a light crunch to them. The prices were also impressive. The whole meal cost me $ 18 including a nice tip! The service was fine. She was very down to earth, attentive and super friendly. I cannot wait to come back!

Food was alright, but the terrible service ruined it for us. The kitchen took an hour to make our schnitzel and cabbage roll, and the waiter seemed to hesitant to check in with us afterwards. Also, don’t take someone who is eastern-​European unless what want to hear them talk about how their babushka «wouldn’t even eat this cabbage roll»

During the day the place is very bright and welcoming for a lunch, but at night the lighting is dimmed and the place actually had a slightly romantic yet casual vibe. Lots of 2 or 4 person seated high tops in the front, and more cozy booth styled seats closer to the back. From an atmosphere perspective, I have no complaints.
As for food and drinks:
Beer selection is miinimal but good for what they do have, with Beau’s and Amsterdam Cruiser IPA on tap for $ 8 a pop.
Pork schnitzel sliders ($ 8) come with 2 per order and were quite tasty. Admittedly even better once adding hot sauce. Jerk chicken pierogi’s ($ 6) were not bad, but not really memorable by any means and at $ 2 each the value isn’t really there.
I think this place would be best going and ordering a large variety of pierogies and getting more sampling going on. As a 1 on off diner, I was appeased but not necessarily impressed.
3 stars.

Had my company Christmas party here last night and was very impressed! The place is very cozy, and the food and the staff were outstanding (especially the bartender Chris I believe his name was). My only complaint was that they don’t charge as much as they should be! The prices are way too low for the quality of food you get. I will definitely be back, and tell my friends.
