"At this DeKalb Market stall, the ultra-fresh pierogies are made to order, with the dough rolled out, stuffed, and boiled, one order at a time. Fillings are straightforward and classic — sauerkraut and mushroom, potato and cheese, or braised beef cheek — and each pile of steaming hot Eastern European dumplings get a dollop of sour cream and a tangle of caramelized onions." - Alexandra Ilyashov

I got the pierogi sample platter and it was delicious! Fun to be able to try all flavors. Potato and cheese was by far my favorite. Not a big fan of sauerkraut, but didn’t hate the sauerkraut and mushroom. The beef one was good, could have gone for a stronger seasoning. But will gladly be back.

I got their cheese and potato pierogi and omg every bite was so delicious with the onion, gravy and sour cream. I’ve really missed out on this spot after living so close to it. I devoured those 6 pieces pretty quick and they were decently priced at $12. Now I want to try their mushroom pierogies too!

I love this place - delicious, authentic Eastern European food. A cup of cold borsch from Pierogi Boys is my favorite snack during summer. The prices are surprisingly affordable for the authentic high quality food. Also, the place has the nicest staff. Pierogi Boys always pleases me with its food and service

So delicious! Took a 45 minute subway ride as soon as I heard about this place since I saw it was a queer-owned business, and it was worth it. Tried the pierogi sampler and was so full by the time I finished, but I couldn’t stop. The Polish beer definitely added to the authenticity. Would for sure have again!

Can’t go wrong with the borscht and cheese pierogi combo. They always have good beer on tap and are super friendly. Top notch!

This place was amazing. When I first walked up I thought it was probably going to be decent, but overpriced and trendy given the surroundings. I was so wrong—the pierogi sampler was unbelievable, and deceptively filling. The price was honestly a real bargain for the quality and amount of food. The guy running the place was super friendly and thoughtful, which means a lot. Get these pierogi!

I went there with my polish friend. We had vegetarian platter with pierogies and polish salads and we shared a Ukrainian borscht soup. Food was good and portions were pretty big.

Delicious and authentic Eastern European food. The Polish pierogi are prepared always fresh and also the soups are great. I was pleased to find in the menu even a cold bortsch! It tasted like grandmother’s!

One of the cuisines I took for granted while living in New York was Polish cuisine. I had just figured that it was semi-ubiquitous seeing as they're widely available throughout the east + west coast and have a strong showing in the midwest with exception to my area of the country (#1). Given that pierogi (#2) are some of my favorite dumplings, I long for the places in BK that did them well. One such place is Pierogi Boys, a tasty, casual option inside of downtown Brooklyn's DeKalb Hall. Unlike some of the other stalls, there is actual seating available here. There are 7 counter stools (#3), but for some it beats having to go find seating around the hall. There is usually one or two people holding down the fort and they tend to work fast. As a result, the wait is minimal and that makes this a quick meal. The pierogi themselves are delicious. The 6 pierogi sampler is a good way to start, which has two of the each of their pierogi offerings: potato & cheese, sauerkraut & mushroom. and meat with mushroom gravy, onions, sour cream, with herbs and bacon bits. The latter is my favorite pierogi, which is a mix of braised beef cheeks and pork butt. It's usually served with a tasty meat gravy and fresh dill. The potato and cheese is classic and is one of their top sellers. They also offer borscht, beet salad, cucumber salad, and a kielbasa to boot. To no one's surprise, the food is pricey. Their sampler platter has only 6 of them, but costs a cool $16. For post-pandemic eats, this is not back breaking but it is costly when looking at it per item. I also realize that the neighborhood has a lot to do with it, so I'll still pay it knowing full well I could find it in Greenpoint for far less. At the end of the day, this is one of the better stalls in the food hall and they deserve all the shine for bringing a cool concept to one of my favorite areas of the borough. __________ (#1) H-Town mang. (#2) It's already plural. The internet told me so. (#3) Thanks for the heads up, Kris (owner)

As a huge Gossip Girl fan, you already know I had to get pierogis from Brooklyn like Dan Humphrey recommended lol. The spot is located in a very nice and cool food hall. We got the sampler plate of Pierogies to try a little bit of everything and the Meat Pierogies were definitely our favorite, very juicy and delicious.

Larissa B.

Yelp
Had the vegetarian peirogi platter. It comes with 4 pierogies, beet salad, cucumber salad and sour cream. A bit expensive for what it was but overall tasted good. If you're craving polish, this is an easy place to reach it.

The first time I had Pierogi boys, I had them at their Dekalb market stall and didn't feel like I was too impressed to need to come back. Thankfully I was re-exposed at an event that Pierogi Boys happened to be catering. They did a phenomenal job The cucumber and beet salads were so fresh. I'm still left wanting more. The mushroom Pierogis were unique. I enjoyed the meat one as well. The kielbasa on a hot dog bun was also nicely done topped with fresh dill. Everything tasted healthy but delicious. I will have to come to check it out in person again.

Marc F.

Yelp
Welcoming pierogi stall in Dekalb market! The pierogis are cooked fresh to order with caramelized onions, a dollop of sour cream, and sprinkles of fresh dill. Potato/cheese is probably my favorite filling, followed by the kielbasa/mushroom, and then the meat filling. Sat at the bar and made nice conversation with the person behind the counter. Would definitely come back for a snack while popping through.

I got the Pierogi Sampler Platter to sample (haha!) different pierogis. The sampler includes 2 potato & cheese pierogis, 2 sauerkraut & mushroom pierogis, and 2 meat pierogis. The potato and cheese pierogi was alright. I found the sauerkraut and mushroom pierogi to be too salty after more than 1 bite. The meat pierogi was also just okay. The storefront was clean and organized. It took about 10 minutes for my order to ready. Overall, I am glad that I gave this place a try but I don't think I would come back for pierogi sampler platter again.

I was hungry while shopping in the area and discovered Dekalb Market Hall. I didn't get a chance to check out all the other stands because when I saw Pierogi Boys I knew I had to try them. The stand is adorable and features a lot of Polish drinks (alcoholic and non alcoholic) along with a pretty big menu. The server was very attentive and that wait wasn't long for a Saturday afternoon. There are about 6 stool seats at the stand itself but the market hall does have additional seating. My expectations weren't too high seeing as potato and cheese pierogis are one of my favorite homemade-by-mom meals but I was pleasantly surprised at how fresh and delicious they tasted. For $13.50, I would definitely come back for seconds. The pierogi sampler will be next on my list when my family is back in town and wants to try some Polish food!

Yelp
Great spot for pierogi located in the heart of the bustling Dekalb Market Hall. Came for takeout on a Tuesday night while in the neighborhood and service was fast and friendly. Really liked the thickness of the dough (which was very clearly homemade) and the freshness of the herbaceous cucumber salad. The cheese in the Ruskie pierogi tasted more like goat cheese instead of farmers cheese - which I wasn't the biggest fan of - but the addition of their thick cut bacon was well worth the splurge. All in all would recommend to those looking for a Polish meal in Brooklyn!

4.5 stars for the potato and cheese pierogis!! i'm a fiend for dumplings of all kinds.. gyoza, Chinese dumplings, momos, mandu, and now pierogis. Lemme tell ya.. Polish dumplings hit differently. The inside was filled with mashed potatoes / cheese and sour cream and caramelized onions on top. CARB CENTRAL. their stall is really cozy and warm as well. next time, I'd like to share with someone so I can sample the many other intriguing food stalls in Dekalb Market Hall since I felt sooo full after

I've been here numerous times and yes I love this place, the food is really good however the prices are little high but considering this is 2022 a lot of restaurants had to raise their prices unfortunately. I always go for the pierogis sample platter which has 2 of each, meat, potato cheese and sauerkraut mushroom pierogis . This is probably the best item to get if you're not sure what you want. The little bacon bits that come with the player are simply amazing and taste great with the pierogis. Also the red borscht soup is on point and I would highly suggest it as a side with the pierogis!

Cute little spot in the big food hall. Love the decor. Super cute and I wanted to buy the milk bar cup - I think I have to go back for it again. Service was friendly and helpful. I consider myself an expert in pierogi. We tried the pierogi sampler and the barszcz. The sounds was tasty and hit the spot on a cold day. The meat pierogi were excellent. The filling was flavorful. The potato ones and the cabbage ones were also tasty. It was a little pricy but it was definitely delicious. I would definitely eat there again.

Just a very simple stall inside a market hall with very friendly workers. Their Pierogi sampler plate is my favorite to get here. If you want vegan option, they also have it. All good!

Visited on weekday afternoon, after work. Not too crowded. It was hard to find a street parking, so you might want to expect to spend some time if you bring a car. Place is near subway station. Subway would be easier to get to the restaurant. Ordered pierogi, soup borscht and bottles amber wheat pszeniczniak. Pierogi was very good. Chewy,meaty and very flavorful. I have never tried Polish foods but I think it tasted pretty good. Soup was very new. I have never imagined this kind of flavor. Beet definitely makes a good soup material. I liked it. Flavor is pretty thick and strong. Beer is very flavorful! I felt like drinking ipa/dark/wheat beer at the same time. I loved it.

Yuk L.

Yelp
Excellent traditional borscht! Perfect flavoring. Had it with the pierogi/kielbasa platter which came with potato pierogies. I personally prefer sauerkraut pierogies and should have asked if I could choose. The beet horseradish was yummy with the pierogies. I loved that 2 quarter pickle spears were included. They were perfectly sour!

Ok. I love pierogi's. I eat Mrs. T Pierogi's every few months and thought "hey, those are kinda good". Pierogi Boys blew me away. My wife and I split an order of their basic pierogi's, the potato and cheese. Now mind you, it's 6 for $13.50. And I could get like 30 Mrs T's for that price. HOWEVER. They were the best dang pierogi's I've ever had. They were delicious, huge, and 3 filled each of us up. I wish we had time to go back and get the Kielbasa and pierogi platter, but alas, we did not. If you're in the area, definitely give them your business.

Visited Dekalb Market Hall in downtown Brooklyn to catch up with a friend and I decided to give Pierogi Boys a try, my first time having Polish food. If you love dumplings, this spot is a good choice. I got the Pierogi sample platter which came with 6 pierogis or Polish dumplings. Each bite was delicious and stuffed with their respective ingredients, I was so full after, so it can definitely be shared as well. Each bite was a surprise for the tastebuds since it wasn't labeled, but my favorite would have to be the meat with mushroom gravy, that was full of delicious flavors. Also tried Zywiec beer, which is the most popular beer in Poland. I normally don't drink beer, but I thought it would go well with the Pierogi and it sure did help balance out the meal! The order: -Pierogi Sample Platter (2 potato & cheese, 2 sauerkraut & mushroom, 2 meat with mushroom gravy + sour cream, caramelized onions, cubed polish bacon and fresh herbs) -Zywiec beer

Got a quick light $7 Ukrainian borscht soup. Very flavorful and exactly what I needed. Tasty. Could've had more honestly it was so good.

Can't make the trip to Poland? Grabbing a bowl at Pierogi Boys might be your second best option. The pierogies in the sampler platter (two potato and cheese, two sauerkraut and mushroom and two meat pierogi) were not labeled, so biting into each was a surprise for the tastebuds. However, it was the bacon and sauce drizzled over the pierogies that stole the show. Add a dollop of sour cream as a refreshment and you have a delectable dish on your hands. The portions weren't of incredible value, but the carbs and protein gets the job done. The creamy mushroom soup could have used more flavor but was plenty creamy. Kielbasa in a hot dog roll was not as sizzling hot as we'd hoped. Zywiec beer was on the menu and seating was available along the side of this food stand. While this isn't exactly the experience (the service was friendly) you'd imagine at a milk bar in Warsaw, it's good to know that those flavors are readily available on this side of the Atlantic.

We tried the pierogi sampler from Pierogi Boys when we were visiting DeKalb Market Hall. It comes with 2 potato & cheese pierogi, 2 sauerkraut & mushroom pierogi, and 2 meat pierogi, served with mushroom gravy, caramelized onions, sour cream, bacon lardons, and herbs. Everything was really good! I'd definitely eat more pierogi from Pierogi Boys in the future! (They also offer other options if you're hungry for something besides or in addition to pierogi - kielbasa, chilled borscht, traditional borsht, cucumber salad, roasted beet salad, and Polish beers! Of their three varieties of pierogi, two are vegetarian!) Check it out if you're in the market hall and enjoy Eastern European eats!

Very good Pierogies but don't go here unless you're looking to overeat. A bowl of these things is a ton of starch and fat, and you don't necessarily feel great afterwards.

Celestia L.

I had the pierogi mix with the borscht soup. It was heavenly. The soup was marvelous but the star of the show were the sauerkraut and mushroom pierogis. And I'm not even a fan of mushrooms or sauerkraut but this was the best thing I've had in the whole market.

Vanessa K.

Yelp
Tried the sampler pierogi and loved all of it. Fresh dill and sour cream really added to the flavors. So good that we returned the next day walking through the rain and ordered the traditional pierogi before leaving Brooklyn. So delicious! Very nice staff, assuming it was the owner who took our order and served us the dumplings. Thank you! We would definitely return here if ever in the area.

I walked endlessly around DeKalb market and landed here. I can't remember the last time I had pierogis. And, damn these were so good. I got the potato and cheese with a small soup. I opted for the mushroom soup - yum. A lil cream and amazing flavor (it was also 20 degrees out so very comforting). The pierogis were covered in the most delicate and flavorful onions and of course sour cream! So good. And they have a small beer and wine list too.

Classic pierogis in Downtown Brooklyn. Alex was great, definitely recommend for a quick bite and great service.

Damian H.

Yelp
Pirogi with curry...... nope. Not my thing. I got soup and pierogi combo. I was set for traditional Polish food. Not only that I got mushroom soup instead of borscht as advertised ( mushroom soup was good) the sauerkraut and mushroom pierogi were drenched in curry. Not what I was expecting.

Avery D.

Yelp
The pierogis were good, but not mind blowing. Pretty much what you'd expect from some classic pierogis. The portions were pretty big for the price and the food came out relatively quick!

Fast service, good pierogi with some body to the dough. The cucumber salad is amazing and I loved the red cabbage. This was worth the trek out to Brooklyn to try.

Ordered a platter from Pierogi Boys on Friday afternoon. Part one of my lunch involved a visit to this shop, which has a lot of fun treats. Quality: There are a ton of delicious items across Dekalb Market Hall in City Point, and I started my lunch with Pierogi Boys. I went with their Kielbasa & Pierogi Platter, which had a grilled Polish Kielbasa, three Potato and Cheese Pierogi, Beet Root Horseradish, Mustard, and a Pickle. I ended up more excited with the Kielbasa than the Pierogi, even though they were still good. They were just a bit too bland, making me wish I ordered some of the other more exciting fillings. And don't sleep on the Beet Root Horseraddish, what a fun spread for all the items. Quantity: The platter was a decent sized meal, but I was still a little hungry after finishing it. Value: $13 for the Kielbasa & Pierogi Platter. Ambiance: Pierogi Boys are located in Dekalb Market Hall in the basement of City Point mall in Brooklyn. They are one of the first places you run into when walking around and I was immediately interested. The food hall is set up with tables all over the place, but this stand also has some stools along a bar for folks to enjoy immediately. Crowd: The Food Hall was busy and there were about six people standing around this stand waiting for their orders from Pierogi Boys. Service: They shuffle out food very quickly, it was impressive watching their kitchen go. Parking: Limited street parking and a few garages in the area.

This place is located in the DeKalb Market Hall. I ordered the kielbasa and pierogi platter (potato and cheese) and the service was super fast and the server was friendly. The platter comes with 3 pierogi, and you might think that's not a lot but the pierogi are very large. They're also soo soft and fresh! The kielbasa was also flavorful. Not much else to say. I'm coming back to try more pierogi sometime.

Jennie A.

Yelp
I have tried all three flavors (potato and cheese, sauerkraut and mushroom and meat) and all are delicious. I like to get the sampler platter so I get all three ($16 for 6). I have not had pierogis extensively (maybe at 3-4 other places), but these are absolutely sublime. Highly recommend if you are in Dekalb market hall.

We found Pierogi Boys when searching for LGBTQ+ owned and operated restaurants, in order to celebrate Pride Month. We could not have been happier to have chosen Pierogi Boys to cater our event! They handled everything with the utmost professionalism, and made delivery to the Financial District a breeze. All this to say, every one of our employees raved about the food, and asked when we might be able to order again. Some fan-favorites included the meat pierogi and the potato and cheese pierogi. Andrew and Kris - you guys are the best!!!

Down the stairs next to Trader Joe's in the food market hall. Got the sample platter. The potato one was the best. Then the meat one. The mushroom and sauerkraut one was not for me. I'd go back and get only the ones I liked. It's a little bland but it's still good.

Monissa W.

Yelp
The man working there is so cute and kind! Sometimes he talks really fast and I can't catch what he's saying but wow the service is great! He literally does it all from being the chef and making the pierogis to being the cashier! I got the kielbasa and pierogi platter and it was very satisfying! Definitely give this place a shot!

Best pierogies I've had in years! So flavorful, but not overwhelming. Service is quick, and ambiance isn't really a thing since it's in the food market.

First time having pierogies and these were bomb! Got the sampler platter and I think my favorite was the potato and cheese followed by the meat. Only complaint is that it was a bit too salty for me, and the combo option was a bit pricey.

Was fine. Def over priced. The cheese and potato is the best flavor of the pierogi platter. Service fine, counter seat was fine. Just really want all that impressed

For months I kept going to Trader Joes and upon leaving say 'I will get pierogis next time.' I finally wised up and decided to get pierogis before going to Trader Joes. I ordered pickup and upon arriving on a weekend, the food was ready and the staff was so nice. The staff asked if we would like seats and after we filled out a COVID questionnaire, had our fever checked and sanitized our hands, we were able to enjoy our perogies on the bar stools. We had the mushroom and cheese/potatoes perogies and it hit the spot! Tastes homemade and the sour cream somehow makes it better. We devoured the perogies and upon leaving the staff again were really polite. It was a quick and fun experience before grocery shopping.

Solid plate of pierogies. I got the combo plate with kielbasa and it was tasty and filling. This location is inside the DeKalb Market and the stand was inviting.

Love this local hidden gem down in Dekalb Market Hall which has been there since it first opened a few years back. There's a reason why many little stands have come and go but this has been there from the beginning for a reason. Their pierogis are made fresh on site and everything else tastes freshly made. I would highly recommend the cucumber dill salad which is amazing plus the pierogi sampler that gives you a little of everything. Also, you can't go wrong with a side of kielbasa too.

Catherine L.

Stopped by to grab a quick bite and so glad I stopped by to try these! Order of pierogies from favorite to least favorite: 1. Potato and cheese 2. Mushroom and sauerkraut 3. Meat pierogi Each came with dipping sauce and yogurt. All of them were good and I got the mixed platter. I liked the potato cheese the most, creamy and flavorful. Sauerkraut was yummy as well with tart and good with the yogurt. Meat was my least favorite and just overall standard. Def coming back!

Got the sample platter to share with friends. Tbh I didn't know what makes Polish dumplings special but I'm open to it. The sample platter is 2 of each of their 3 flavors for $15. Price wise it's more worth to get individual flavors cuz they're $12 or $12.5 without meat. Anyway. I like how there was gravy, sour cream, rosemary, onion, and bacon bits on top. It added good variety to each bite. The skins were very soft but slightly mushy imo. Otherwise I liked the softness Meat Supposedly had beef cheek and pork butt. So I didn't know what I was eating before biting in because I couldn't tell what from what based on the outside, nor did I know what the options were cuz I didn't buy. I thought there was only pork. Potato Nice it felt like mashed potatoes when I bit into this. Apparently there's cheese. Perhaps that helped dry out the mixture so it's not too mushy yet still smooth. It might be too filling to eat a whole order of just potatoes tho. Sauerkraut and Mushroom Again I didn't know what was in there. It wasn't so sour or pickled so much that I noticed it. I thought it was just some cooked veggies. I couldn't taste the mushroom either. It was refreshing and not rotten (sometimes I get that feel from preserved vegetables that get added to dishes) so was good to have at the end. Btw this isn't one of my most accurate reviews and taste descriptions because the eating process was slightly messy. I didn't get a chance to pay a lot of attention to the food details.

These are pretty tasty. I ordered the sampler. I would have to say I preferred the potato and cheese. I didn't care much for the sauerkraut & mushroom but the other two were excellent.

John H.

I love this little spot. I told the chef I was going to take some pics for my Instagram and he said "don't worry every plate is beautiful". Haha. He made sure I was happy with his plating before I took my pictures. They were delicious! I'm Ukrainian so I appreciate and good pierogi and the filling was heavenly and the dill and all the fresh herbs wrecked my taste buds in the best possible way.

A great little spot for pierogi! We got a few and were obsessed!!

Felicia H.

Ordered the Pierogi Sampler Platter (2 Potato & Cheese Pierogi, 2 Sauerkraut & Mushroom Pierogi, and 2 Meat Pierogi). Potato and cheese was definitely the standout, while meat was nothing special. Wished the sauerkraut was more punchy, but overall the pierogis were super filling and substantial. And love Dekalb Market for the options and vibes!

Felisa F.

I intended to make a quick trip to Trader Joe's at DeKalb Market, but I ended up on a shopping expedition at the mall upstairs and soon after I was famished. I did a loop around the food court area and decided Pierogi Boys looked like a good spot to stop. It also had stools available around the counter, where you're a foot away, if that, from where they make the pierogi. I had the traditional borscht soup and the three pierogi special (mushroom and sauerkraut, meat, and potato and cheese) [$12]. All three pierogi were delicious, the skins were silky and just thick enough. The inside fillings were juicy and bountiful. My favorite was the cheese and potato because cheese and potato are life. The borscht was also plentiful, the serving size was way more than what I expected. I always love the dollop of sour cream (or kefir) and herbs in the soup, it provides a different texture and color from all the earthiness of the beet. This borscht is definitely some of the best I've ever had, and that's saying a lot as I'm of Eastern European ancestry. It'll be difficult not to stop by Pierogi Boys on my weekly grocery trip to DeKalb Market.

Peter D.

Yelp
I've said this before, and I'll say it again: Every culture has their own version (at least one) of carbs wrapped around meat/cheese/more, because that's basically the best combination you can have. Not only is it delicious, but it's usually portable and fairly tidy: The Indians have samosas, the Italians have calzones, the Mexicans have tacos, Asians all have their own type of dumplings, the Latin Americans have empanadas, the Caribbeans have doubles and beef patties and so on and so forth. The Eastern Europeans have pierogi, and the Pierogi Boys make 'em well. Like a lot of Dekalb Market Hall fare, it's a little bit pricey for the return on investment, but six of these things will definitely fill you up. Plus the presentation is nice. Add on a roasted beet salad, some kielbasa, and a beer, and you've got yourself enough food to make it through a Polish winter.

This is a cute little place in DeKalb Market. I've eaten here twice and really like it. Both times, I ordered the Potato and Cheese Pierogis. I docked a star because when I went there last Friday, they gave me the sauerkraut pierogis by mistake (and I didn't realize it until I got home). Although it wasn't what I ordered, they were still good. The potato and cheese pierogis are simple and savory, and the sauerkraut pierogis were just tart enough without being overwhelming. Each are the perfect comfort food, and come topped with caramelized onions and a side of sour cream. The staff was friendly, they were all wearing their masks properly (covering mouth AND nose - not something I can say for every business), and my food came out in a timely manner. Their menu is also vegetarian-friendly. I noticed that in addition to the potato/cheese and sauerkraut pierogis, there was also a vegetarian combo meal, which I intend to try the next time I'm there. The portion sizes are also pretty big - not big enough for 2 people, but certainly enough to be quite filling (and satisfying) for one person. I recommend stopping by the net time you're at DeKalb Market.

Had the vegetarian pierogi plate. Super tasty pierogis (potato and cheese, and sauerkraut) and side salads (beet salad and cuke salad).
