Loaded Pierogi

I just came home with Perogies for loaded Perogies on Church. I have always eaten in but did take out tonight. I love the Perogies but when I got home there wan no sour cream in with the order !!! Never had Perogies without sour cream. I do not have any in my fridge and I am not going out to get some. Why is there nine in with the order ??? It is included on the menu. I was disappointed.

I came with my bf on a Groupon because the concept of pierogis with toppings really intrigued us. And we were not disappointed!!! Some of the best I’ve ever had. Our Groupon included two entrees, two drinks and a dessert for $ 35.00. He got the Mad Dog and I got the Eastern Promises drinks, they were good, if a bit weak. But the food was amazing, I had the Smoking Pig Roast and it was absolutely LOADED with pulled pork, bacon and cheese. My boyfriend had the Philly steak and he really enjoyed it. The prices are reasonable and the general ambience is nice in the restaurant. I would definitely come back next time we are craving great pierogis!

Yes! I’m so happy this spot is close to home and not too expensive.
We had a Groupon which allowed us to order two entrees, two drinks (any drink under $ 10) and one dessert. Once we presented our Groupon, our waitress was still friendly and the fact that we were cheap (lol) did not affect her service for the night.
We ordered the the buffalo chicken, pork and sweet apple. You can either have them boiled or fried and I suggest the fried option.
We were served our drinks and our perogies shortly after. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THE BUFFALO CHICKEN. It was like eating wings and poutine at the same time. It had everything I wanted in a meal — saucy, sweet chicken bites, crispy potatoes like fries and creamy like mashed.
Our dessert was good too although I think the sweet cheese aka ricotta might be different for some people since my fiancé didn’t like it? I don’t know, he’s weird.
There aren’t a lot of places where I use a Groupon that warrants a second visit but I’ll be back to try out other dishes and take advantage of their daily specials.

Soul food? I think not.
Anyway I ordered the buffalo chicken perogies, half fried half boiled. I thought the chicken was decent but the perogies weren’t anythng special. They were the typical north american thick dough grocery store variety. The filling was a potato base… wasn’t great tasting but wasn’t bad. My fiancée ordered the Philly cheese steak half and half, and said that she encountered a lot of gristle in the little bit of beef she did get. Maybe I’m spoiled by the real perogies that her babcia makes, and if you’ve ever had real home made Polish perogies you’ll know what I mean when you compare them to loaded perogies, but if you haven’t you’ll probably enjoy this place.

Greasy and lacking flavour, didn’t find too much here of value with the exception that the food is very reasonably priced and service was friendly and efficient. Had the philly cheesesteak pierogi. Rather than loading up on cheese, it had an awkward sauce on it that didn’t really jive with the rest of the dish. Skimped on the bell peppers. That said, pricing is spot on and they have some great specials with beer pairings.
Just a tip – cut down on grease and get your pierorgies steamed/​boiled. This was actually a much more flavourful option and made them taste less starchy overall.

What a novel concept in this city! I love perogies so imagine my happiness when I found this place through groupon, and got to try it out tonight.
First things first: the groupon (valid for 2 entrees, 2 drinks, and 1 dessert… Silly, it should be valid for a price amount) was not worthwhile for a pescatarian nondrinker like myself, even after asking the kitchen/​bar to come up with some virgin drinks. The bill for my $ 35 groupon came out to a whopping… $ 41. And I was walking out stuffed, drinks still on the table. (I would have been better off buying on my own, but am I bitter? Nooooooooo… OK mildly)
On the bright side, this means that prices are actually quite reasonable! Entrees $ 8 – 16, dessert $ 7.
We ordered the lobster/​crab perogies (delicate, but I would have preferred chunks of seafood rather than shreds — was I eating imitation? Ew.) And the truffle mushroom perogies (scrumptious, with just the right amount of truffle, but I might go with a less ranchy sauce… imho). The perogies themselves are delectable –perfect soft and fluffy but not sticky mushy texture! And the servings are VERY filling. Their hollandaise sauce is very delicate and mildly sweet — I’m a fan.
Note: you can get your perogies fried or boiled. The oil for frying also fries the duck, so vegetarians beware.
I initially thought this was a largely meat-​based menu (it is meat heavy), but there are kimchi, mushroom, and brussel sprouts options, as well as the classic, and the lobster/​crab for seafood. Better than expected.
Only 2 dessert options: strawberry compote & chocolate, and apple cinnamon. We tried the strawberry, and the perogies come fried or baked. It was nice, but nothing to write home about. Again, the texture of the perogies, even crisp, was on the money.
The service was good, the food was prompt, and the server was friendly and helpful.
Merits a revisit :)

Got a Groupon to try this place ($ 35) which included two drinks, two perogies (under $ 14) and a dessert to share. I ordered a loaded caesar (it was meh) and the mister got the mad dog (which was also meh). I got the Buffalo Chicken for my main and I loved it. The flavour was amazing and everything complimented each other — only complaint was the chicken was too hard. He got the «oh yeah» bacon with sauerkraut which I did not enjoy as I am not a fan of bacon or sauerkraut but he seemed to like it. For dessert, we ordered the sweet apple which was filled with sweet cheese topped with apples, cinnamon and whipped cream — I think I would have enjoyed it more if it was vanilla ice cream.
The service was great and super friendly. Atmosphere was relaxing — music wasn’t too loud, lighting was perfect. Lots to look around the restaurant while his face is glued to his phone. Overall an amazing find. Will definitely come back to try the butter chicken and the catch!

So I was sitting at work yesterday browsing Just Eat, trying to figure out what to get for lunch, when all of a sudden I see Loaded Pierogi and my search is over. I was so happy to see that I could order delivery from them.
This time I went The Buffalo Chicken with crispy pierogis because it is so good and the Ms. Piggy with classic pierogis to try something new. The pierogis survived the delivery and were as delicious as the first time I tried them in the restaurant. I would recommend the classic pierogis if you are ordering delivery because they keep better. Also if you refrigerate them and eat them the next day like I did, they reheat fine too. The sour cream came on the side which was good so you could dip the pierogis in it instead of it melting all over them on the way over.
I really enjoyed the Ms. Piggy, the pulled pork was really tender, saucy and flavourful and the goat cheese on top added a nice creaminess. I would definitely get this one again and have yet to find a version of loaded pierogis I don’t like. Can’t wait until the next time the craving hits and I order from here again.

The service was very good. Was not too loud and the music was pretty good. The most expensive thing on the menu was $ 16!!! Which is pretty amazing these days.
We drank the following drinks:
Blue lagoon– very nice. Was sweet but the alcohol gave it a kick.
Appletini-​was not good at all. You could barely taste the apple.
Eastern promises-​very fruity and light I would highly recommend this.
French Martini– if i had to rate this out of 5 I’d give it a 2.5
Food we ate:
The Catch– Such a twist on a comfort food favorite. The hollandaise sauce made the dish. These lobster and crab stuffed pierogis will be ordered again. This dish was the table favorite.
Buffalo chicken– Mildly spicy buffalo chicken bites with some ranch on it. Pretty good. 3.5 out of 5.
Sauerkraut «Oh yeah bacon”-This dish was very nice. Felt like the authentic way of eating pierogis.
The smoking pig-​Sooo much pork and I loved it! Pulled pork, bacon, pancetta, and they even added caramelized onions for free! So good I would order this again.
Strawberry Chocolate-​Sweet and rich, and as a strawberry lover would definitely order again.
Apple Caramel– Tastes like an apple pie/​apple turnover exploded in my mouth. This was the dessert favorite.
Will be coming back for sure!

Service was impeccable and the food was really good.
Had the mushroom and truffle, the catch, and Donald Duck. The waitress knew that we were celebrating a friend’s birthday and put a candle on the chocolate and strawberry pirogies that we ordered. It was a really sweet touch considering that we didn’t ask for it.
Also felt that their Vodka flights were really good value too. You get to try 3 different kinds of Vodka for $ 12, Highly recommend Russian Standard Vodka (Bronze) and Pravda (Gold).

I had came here with a friend for a quick lunch. I ordered the buffalo chicken and he had ordered the mushroom truffle.
Buffalo Chicken — The pierogis themselves were not bad. The sauce on the buffalo chicken was a bit heavy and salty. Even eating it with the potatoes, I felt it was overwhelming at times.
Mushroom truffle — I had asked my friend how he enjoyed his dish. It was basically the exact opposite of my experience. He thought the mushroom truffle was quite bland and the sauce was too light. He thought it was quite average to say the least.
To be completely honest, I probably would not come back again as there are definitely better choices around the area.

Do you love pierogi? Do you love poutine?
If you said yes to either of those, you’re going to love this — especially because these guys combine those two ideas together to create just pure taste bud exciting dishes.
My recommendation is to get the pierogi half and half (half boiled, half fried).
I had the buffalo chicken, which was phenomenal, but I would recommend getting something else as the buffalo chicken sauce does become a little too much towards the end. If you are going with a partner or some friends, it may be best to share a few different dishes.

Located near the Kensington Market in Toronto, and a short walk from Union Station, the Loaded Pierogi is a cute restaurant that serves. you guessed it — pierogies, pireogies, and more pierogies!
They have great weekly specials that include a drink with an order of pierogies, and lots of unique toppings/​flavours. I had the butter chicken and it wasn’t a traditional butter chicken in any sense, but had grilled chicken and some nice spices on top of the pierogies.
You can ask to have your pierogies boiled or fried, I preferred boiled, as the fried tasted kind of like pizza pops.
The service was fine, but we were the only ones in the restaurant, so it was hard to gauge what it is like when busy. Overall, it was a tasty stop in Toronto, highly recommended.

Amazing experience! This place has a very fast turnover during the week so no need to make a reservation. Ordered the dark and stormy drink which was amazing. For dinner I opted for the cabbage patch kids dish, fried, and was not disappointed to say the least! Delicious deep fried Brussels sprouts and sun dried tomatoes, ranch sauce and sour cream, scallions and caramelized onions. What an explosion of delicious flavor! Boyfriend ordered the pulled pork and kielbasa dish, and loved it. We both left full, and we were going to try the dessert pierogies but sadly were too full to try them. Prices were very good. You get a lot of food that you can definitely eat most of (if not all), which is delicious and worth every penny. Would love to come back!

In a search for some not-​too-​pricey dinner that we could grab relatively quickly before heading to an event at The Sony Centre, my friends and I considered a couple of joints directly across the street before settling on Loaded Pierogi a short walk away.
I’m glad we went, because the $ 12 average per plate was reasonable, and we were able to order a few types to share. I chose The Cabbage Patch Kid and Wild Mushroom & Truffle, and my friends chose the Bacon, Sauerkraut, and «Oh Yeah» Bacon plus the Donald Duck. My favourite was the Wild Mushroom & Truffle.
Although there isn’t much actual truffle in the dish, I enjoyed the mix of sauteed fresh mushrooms together with the creamy goat cheese. A lovely mix.
One of my life fantasies is that I will someday become a rich old lady, wearing overwhelmingly odorous perfume, wrapped in Macklemore’s thrift shop-​style coat, hurling cats at people while screaming «What the hell is this crap? BLACK truffle? I only eat WHITE TRUFFLES!» Heh heh heh. This will mess up the horrendously applied red lipstick as I throw a major fit, but it will be worth it. But, I digress…
The confit duck leg on the Donald Duck was a bit salty for me, but everything else was pretty good.
This place kind of reminds me of poutine or fries places, where you can load it up with whatever toppings you want on a relatively bland medium (the potato, or in this case, the pierogi). You’ll be asked whether you’d like your pierogies regular or crispy, where regular is boiled and crispy means fried.
Service was very friendly and would check in on us from time to time, asking us whether we were enjoying our meal and to refill drinks or water. I asked for two cups of ice for my menopausal, hot-​flashing self (y’know, cause I was channeling my inner, crotchety old lady persona) and she happily obliged.
Each dish comes with 8 pierogies, and each sweet/​dessert dish comes with 4 pierogies. My friend M lamented that the strawberry & chocolate pierogies, served fried, contained only a drizzle of chocolate rather than large pieces of it, but I think she’s still glad she got this item (it wasn’t listed on the menu). I’d come back and try the sweet apple & caramel mix one next time.

The first time I heard about this concept — pierogi poutine — I knew I would love it. So I was eager for Loaded Pierogi to open its doors. I finally made it over there last month, but I did not dine in. Two friends and I ordered our poutines to go (we all chose to have them fried — you can also choose boiled), and we ate them in the car on our way to a party. I had the the Buffalo Chicken for $ 12.50, one friend had Baba’s Classic for $ 7.50 and the other had Miss Piggy for $ 11. The prices for the poutines range from $ 6.50 to $ 15. My friends and I really enjoyed the poutines — good portion, fresh ingredients, everything was made to order, and the combination options were great.
For my second visit, I wanted to go with a few friends, and knowing that their seating is limited, I contacted the restaurant to inquire about a good time to visit with a large group. The restaurant simply stated, «let us know when you are coming, and we will do our best to accommodate you.» After reviewing their schedule, I decided to pay them a visit on a Saturday at 11:30am with about 11 friends. They open at 11:30am, so I figured that dining at this time could guarantee us seating (be the first ones through the door), and in fact, the restaurant did not start to fill up until after 12:30pm.
I gotta say, I was relieved when every single one of my friends loved their poutine, and the concept! In fact, several of them could not wait to return. The poutine that seemed to get the most positive reviews was the Western for $ 11 (fried sunny side egg, with sautéed peppers, smoked ham, Swiss cheese, hollandaise sauce & green onions). And it was also a good idea to meet on a Saturday because the St. Lawrence Market is just around the corner for some shopping later!
Sure, some people have commented on the prices, and some feel that there is no value for money here. However, I think the prices are quite reasonable, specially if you stick to the more standard options like bacon and sour cream. And even the basic options are not so basic since they do throw in the caramelized onions, though personally I could care less about that since I hate onions. They were kind enough to put them on the side for me (on a small plate), and then I passed this plate down the table, and people were thrilled to add it to their poutine. Yuck!

I live in buffalo, I know what real polish pierogi are and this place does not have them.
However, it is still very good.
We went here during one of our monthly trips to Toronto and although different, we were still impressed. I had mined topped with crab and lobster, delicious. My partner had the Miss. Piggy, also very good.
If your from the US and used to the traditional perogi sautéed in in butter, onion and garlic, these might seam different. They are deep-​fried and there for they are a little crunchy. You also have the option of having them boiled, healthier, I’m sure but probably no where near as good.
This place is small, cozy and cheap. You get 8 little perogi topped for $ 8-​$ 12 bucks. Our waiter was, friendly and the service was quick. This is a great little lunch spot!

Got take out from here, had the mushroom and truffle pierogis.
Service was quick and friendly, didn’t have to wait too long for the food at all.
Pierogis were ok, I found the skin to either be over cooked or under cooked. You have the option of regular or fried. I would probably try the fried next time. Filling wasn’t too dry. Mushrooms that topped it were super delicious though!
Overall I would say while the pierogis were decent, it does not offer value for your money.
Very interesting concept though!

After reading all the raving reviews I was excited to try this place but alas it was a disappointment. We were seated promptly. The service was good and we placed our orders quickly. I think it was just that the food did not match my expectations. I was expecting to see the pierogies stuffed with the fancy fillings instead of them just being dumped on top.
I tried the porky pig and it was ok. Nothing to write home about. The wild mushroom and truffle oil was a letdown. You couldn’t even smell the truffle oil. The portions are also a bit on the smaller side. Overall the food seems a little overpriced for what it is.

Great concept with very unique flavour pairings. My friend and I shared the mushroom pierogi’s and the classic. Both were absolutely delicious. My friend is a vegetarian, but I was able to get a side of bacon to add to mine.
The service was friendly. Before coming I didn’t realize that this was a bar as well, but that’s always a plus. Love that you can choose between boiled and fried.
A couple of suggestions:

1. Have a few other things on the menu if someone in the group doesn’t want pierogi’s. My friend and I shared two plates and we could have eaten a bit more (like a side salad or something), but another full plate of pierogi’s would be too much.
2. Have some tasters or samplers — I’ve never worked in a kitchen, so this may be too difficult but it would have been nice to sample a pierogi from a couple of the types before I ordered a full plate.
