Mom Mom’s Polish Food Cart

Delicious! I love pierogis but they can be hard to find. I really appreciate all the options. I little pricey but very worth the cost.
I went around St. Patrick’s Day and had the Cheddar and Potato topped with Shepard’s Pie Special. Amazing! I’ll be back soon!

I was attached to this car by the beautiful tile work on the truck. Excited at the idea of a polish food truck. Definitely get the perogies! Big, crunchy on the outside but soft on the inside. The onions are a nice sweet touch. Tons of sour cream too! And the truck has ibc root beer and yoohoo. Clearly a winner.

Polish never tasted so good — just like babcia used to make, it’s comfort food that will have you coming back for more.
Polish food is the most underrated of cuisine. Growing up in the coal region of northeast Pennsylvania, with its strong Polish/​Lithuanian/​Eastern Europe influence, I’ve been telling people for years about this type of food. I was delighted to find this food truck at Chaddsford Winery, and I was drawn to the food truck by its immense ethnic pull. I was delighted by the straightforward dishes of potato and cheddar perogies, golumpkis (cabbage wrapped beef or pork with a sweet tomato sauce on top), and kielbasa sausage with sauerkraut.
Yes humble Unilocal reader, I went back to this food truck three times. And I would go three more times if I see this food truck again.
If you’re reading this and it doesn’t sound appetizing, you are missing out — delicious homemade comfort food that will instantly make you fall in love with Polish food. So if you’re waiting in line at that kebab/​cupcake/​BBQ truck and see this across the way, take a chance and give it a try. You can message me your thank you later.

I have a little bit of a food truck fetish. I don’t know what it is, but serve food out of a colorfully-​painted vehicle and I’m automatically intrigued.
I, like many of the other reviewers, also am a Polish girl, raised on home-​made pierogi made by my mother and grandmother for the holidays, or someone else’s Polish-​speaking grandmother for the local church fundraising bazaars.
So I do not say this lightly: Mom-Mom’s is one of my all-​time favorite food trucks, and their pierogi are phenomenal.
I was at first turned-​off by the concept of pan-​seared pierogi. I’d always boiled/​steamed them and drowned them in butter, but turns out there is more than one way to make little potato dumplings delicious. The caramelized onion, scallions, and sour cream are the perfect accompaniment to these pockets of heaven. Served up in an unassuming little paper bowl for $ 8 a serving, they’re by far one of the best food-​truck deals one can find, and they come with bonus nostalgia (for some, anyway…)
My only complaint is that it can be difficult to track them down — I don’t live in Philadelphia, and they don’t always widely publicize where they are going to be, so it can be tough to make the trip when they last-​minute post on Facebook that they’re in a certain park for a few hours. But they are always so, SO worth the trip.

It should be 4.5 stars. A nice young couple, Ryan and Kaitlin make their own pierogies, learning from the Ukrainian ladies at the Cathedral parish at 8^th and Brown. They usually stuff them with potato and cheese, but they do use other ingredients like blueberries or cherries. They buy good kielbasa from Czerws. But I especially like their stuffed cabbage or galubki (holupchi). Being Ukrainian, I have eaten all of these foods for a long time. The galubki are better than any I have tasted recently. They come with a little spicy tomato sauce, just like my mom’s. They move around a bit, Navy Yard, the Linc and at Clark Park on most Saturdays. Check their FB page. If you see their little cart, stop by for a nice lunch.

I’m so obsessed with mom moms polish food truck! I am polish, and I grew up eating my grandmas home made Perogies. Nothing beats her Perogies, they melt your mouth and warm your heart. I feel that way again eating Mom Moms Perogies. They are hands down the best Perogies I’ve eaten since grandmas! The caramelized onions are perfect on top, and I love the sour cream on the side. Not slathered on top. These are so good they don’t even need sour cream! And don’t get me started on the Galumpkis. Holy hell they are the best Galumpkis maybe even better than my grandmas! How does Moms Moms do it??? I don’t know, but I’m in love. Keep it up guys, you bring me back a piece of my childhood :-)

Stopped by at the Deschutes Beerfest. As a buffalo born polock who helped his grandma make polish food growing up, I’m kinda a snob when it comes to the cuisine.
Mom moms is legit: excellent pierogi and kielbasa. Nice people too.

I have to bump these guys up a star. Mom Moms has easily become my favorite food truck. Their pierogi are incredible and the price (especially compared to other trucks) is right on point.
FYI– Potato and cheddar pierogi are 3 for $ 6 and 5 are $ 8. Specialty pierogi are 3 for $ 8. If you are a first timer, go with the potato and cheddar.

I recently visited this truck at Lincoln Financial Field.
This one is going to be simple.
They’re not complicated. They have pierogies and kielbasa along with a few other Polish delights, and they get the kielbasa from Czerw’s.
They grill them up and serve them in paper baskets with onions, or on a roll for the kielbasa.
It’s simple. It’s straightforward. Quite honestly, it’s fantastic! I downed my pierogies and kielbasa in record time.
It ain’t brain surgery. It’s just damn good Polish food.

My husband and I ordered cheddar and potato pierogies and vanilla bourbon apple sauce from this food truck at the South Street Spring Festival. The pierogies were perfect in both texture and flavor, and they were served with a generous portion of sauteed onions and sour cream. The pierogies are obviously homemade and are doughy without being too heavy. They were seared nicely on one side and were stuffed perfectly with very flavorful filling. The apple sauce was good too, but the star of the show was definitely the pierogies. I highly recommend this truck to anyone that enjoys good Polish food.

The Chinese have their «Dumpling», the Japanese have their“Gyoza”, the Italians have their «Ravioli» and the Polish have their «Pierogi» ! America, well we have all of them and then some in a buffett line.
Bada Bing! I am not talking about the strippers club you’d see in the Sopranos. What I am talking about is this little food cart that attracts a line like no other has seen. This could be for a Night Market event or any type of street festival event Mom Mom’s is on point with their product .
Pierogi, pfff I used to say, or I would call it the «imitation ravioli». I admit I was wrong, very wrong actually. Nothing like watching and hearing these little potato and cheese bad boys sizzle on the grill as you begin to salivate.
Now seeing I am new to the Pierogi scene, I couldn’t tell you what or how they should be prepped. What I can tell you is that they are simply awesome with the caramelized onions and sour cream as the toppings. I find myself now going to different spots checking out the appetizers, seeing if pierogies is on the menu. I also have no issue trying out different ways you could enjoy a pierogi.
I’m hooked on these guys, with their fresh handmade morsels they make. I will say this though, I know who set the bench mark in my opinion of what a pierogi should taste like. Mom Mom’s your product is outstanding, I look forward to seeing your station set up. I will be perusing their menu even more, seeing their pierogi is on point. I could only imagine what else they make that will make me go crazy for.
I can’t wait for Spring to come around again, because I will be there too as the season of festivals begin!

Mom Mom’s is one of the many food trucks that is stationed weekly at the Navy Yard, and it’s one of the best! I can’t recommend the cheese and potato pierogis enough (3 for $ 5 or 5 for $ 7). The pierogis are topped with sauteed onions, sour cream, and green onion. I actually can’t recommend any other menu item, because they’re so good that I can’t stop ordering them. Though I can almost guarantee that anything else they prepare is just as amazing. Make sure you have cash, as I don’t think they accept cards. Next Thursday is their final day at the Yard so make sure to stop by before they’re gone for the winter!

I’ve been wanting to try pierogi from Mom Mom’s for ages and finally had the opportunity at this year’s Bloktoberfest. A friend and I decided to share an order which was a good move since you get several pierogi.
I grew up on my grandmom’s pierogi so I have my preferences as to what I look for and enjoy. Mom Mom’s pierogi have come the closest to the bull’s eye, even if they were slightly different than my Gram’s version. I liked that the potato and cheese filling wasn’t completely pureed — there was a little texture which makes a huge difference. I also liked that they were topped with sauteed onion and served with sour cream and chives. In my family we sauté our pierogi in some butter and call it a day but this was a nice twist.
Mom Mom may not be MY grandmom, but she’s still throwing it down in the pierogi gauntlet.

Very often you get a pierogi that makes you want to cry! Chewy or just not all that! Mom Mom’s will have you crying tears of joy. They are just so good! All you have to do is try them and you will be able to taste the TLC that is put into each one. They are like delicious clouds of happiness. Also the apple sauce is da bomb. Really it is.

One of the best food carts in the city. I have been twice now and both time the food has been excellent. The classic pirogues are amazing.

Mom Mom’s isn’t what you’d expect from a typical food truck. These are by far the best perogies I’ve ever had. Homemade ooey gooey deliciousness that just melts in your mouth. Get them topped with caramelized onions, sour cream, and applesauce– you won’t regret it! You can find them at Garden Variety across from North Bowl. Whether you’re looking for a quick snack, lunch or dinner, Mom Mom’s will hit the spot!

At the Thursday Market in Clark Park, West Philadelphia. Had an excellent kielbasa on grilled rye bread with sauerkraut, and previously have enjoyed superb regular pierogies as well as specialty pierogies such as cupcake, blueberry, and cheeseburger. The couple running it are personable and friendly, the food is grilled on the spot so there is a short wait, and the décor of the cart is gorgeous – painted by Mom-​mom herself, so they say! Specialty items change weekly (if not daily) so go and be surprised!

I spent a week in Poland last year.
Yet, I’m not sure I’ve ever tasted a pierogi as delicious as those I had late night at Mom-Mom’s last night.
Everything from the texture, the flavor, the perfect balance between heavy and light. put simply, these were perfect. I tried both the pastrami and the traditional potato/​cheese and both were extraordinary in their own right. Do yourself a favor. Go get a six pack at the Foodery across the street, pound three pierogi, then grab you a nightcap at Standard Tap. You won’t burn many calories but you won’t burn your wallet either ($ 5 for three pierogi? they charge double that in some restaurants and they aren’t even 10% as tasty).
Go here! Now!

Omg amazinggggggg!!! They had a secret opening yesterday in northern liberties and I was blown away! I had the pop-​pop plate, only 13 $ and you get kelbasa, pickled veggies, 3 perogies, kraut, rye bread, and that polish cabbage thing that I forget the name of but was super good! My friend got the sweet onion perogies with truffle oil fondue… had to steal a bite… they were out of this world! I wanted to order the dessert perogies (strawberries!) but I was so full… next time!!!

I got a preview of this delicious food cart’s offerings-​the potato & cheese pierogies are easily the best I’ve ever had, and the homemade applesauce is AMAZING! It really tastes like your Polish grandmom is back there cooking you up a delicious dinner. Make sure to check Mom-Mom’s Twitter page to find out where they’re at!
