As one of the city's highest rated businesses, Pierogi Village is perennially featured in the Yelp Top 100 and it's not hard to see why. The service is outstanding, the food is comforting and authentic, and the interior vibe makes this one of the more unique establishments in Las Vegas. Initially a pop up, they found a brick and mortar home at this strip mall, becoming a local favorite ever since.
The decor is a mix of old school eastern Euro decor with a nod to Poland in the form of dolls, flags, photos, and memorabilia. There is a good amount of seating and bathrooms that are in the narrow hallway next to the kitchen. Parking is easy since it's in a strip mall but I do wish their hours were a bit more flexible for later dining.
Polish cuisine is a treat for me, since far more prominent in the Midwest and Northeast than anywhere else. Their claim to fame, pierogi, is wonderfully made. They offer nine styles, including meat, sauerkraut and mushroom, potato and cheese, spinach and feta, jalapeño and cheese, and even the chef's special of duck plum sauce, which is their house specialty. Novices to the cuisine should consider their sample plates, which come anywhere from 6-14 mixed pieces. I like this option more, since variety is the spice of life.
The Big Polish Plate consists of choice of pierogi, kielbasa, stuffed cabbage (golabki) and is my favorite item to order. Their bigos (hunter's stew) is legit, along with the fried cabbage and schnitzel. The other soups include pickle soup, borscht, and beef tripe.
The folks working here are kind, professional, and very welcoming. I have ordered takeout a couple of times, but I fully intend on bringing in a large group to feast together at some point. While it's hardly the cheapest Polish fare I've had in the US, I'm extremely grateful for their hospitality and presence in the neighborhood.
I've frequently praised the local Vegas dining scene for the variety from top to bottom and places like Pierogi Village are a good reminder that this city has an embarrassment of culinary riches and so much to offer from a food front (#1)
