Maybe Not the "Best" Pierogis in Town...

Both of our guides listed Pierogarnia as the place to go to try pierogis, but we left unimpressed. On the plus side, this tiny "restaurant" (more like Polish fast food?) is now open 24 hours. However, I wouldn't call it a restaurant. It's self-service and there are only four or five tables to sit at. It's tiny and if it gets busy you can feel a bit rushed. Also, your food is served on styrofoam plates with plastic utensils. The only choices of drink are about five flavors of Cappy juice or a drink called Kwas, which looks like beer but is not! I gave Kwas a try but it was possibly the worst thing I've ever put in my mouth.
The pierogi were not bad, but I think we had better ones elsewhere, plus with a nicer ambience.
One last complaint was the horrible dance music blasting on the radio. Were they trying to make us feel rushed? I don't find that kind of music pleasant for eating.
Overall we were pretty disappointed, especially as both of our guides raved about this place. We'd sooner recommend Polskie Smaki, which I review separately in this journal.
