Tried Pierogi Bar in St. Petersburg and really enjoyed the experience. We ordered the sampler platter with kielbasa, pierogis, and potato pancakes -- incredibly filling and definitely enough to share with a friend for lunch. Everything was hearty, comforting, and well prepared. I also had a macchiato, which was lovely -- smooth, balanced, and surprisingly complex. The wait staff was attentive, and the food came out quickly, which we appreciated. Solid food, great service, and a spot I would absolutely recommend. read more

Food was amazing. Stopped on our way back home from the beach. Cannot wait to come back here. We got the borscht, pickle soup, potato pancake appetizer, 3 different pierogi platters with the cabbage roll and added the kovbasa link. 10/10. read more

Small portions. The restaurant owner started lecturing us about how borscht shouldn't be eaten with salo, even though we just wanted to order salo at a Ukrainian restaurant. The food took a very long time to come out. The restaurant was almost empty -- only about three tables were taken on a Saturday. I even waited around 10 minutes just for the bread, and by the time it arrived, all the food had already gone cold. read more

Well we were there 2 years ago and not impressed. Figured give it another try and it was better but still lacking something. The service was good and it's a big restaurant with multiple seating options. The menu is diverse but you go for the pierogis I would guess. The prices are fair but the add ons increase the price and let's face it having pierogis without buttered sautéed onions is just wrong. The pierogis are decent but since all are exactly the same you wonder if they are homemade fresh or frozen. If they have an automated machine than that would make sense but I'm not sure. All in all it was ok but not the wow factor we were hoping for. read more

Loved everything about this place. Stopped in on our way to Gulfport on a whim as it is hard to find true authentic Ukrainian food & I'm so happy we did. The food is as close to what my Bobby's cooking was. Pierogis were so clean tasting. You could taste every bite. Just the plain potato ones had so much character. Also, ordered the martini there and the bar tender was able to switch out gin for vodka. Omg! She made two martinis with two different Ukrainian vodkas both which complimented the drink so well. Dill heavy and tastey. The owner came out and talked as well which I always prefer. We talked about family roots and drinking stories. So much fun. Love the environment & love how true to the culture they make this food. Can't wait to take my family there to try it! read more

It's a very pretty restaurant inside, nice atmosphere. Good selection of European beer, wine, and drinks. Wait staff was attentive and prompt. Potato pancakes were great, but we found the pierogis to be quite bland. The portions were also pretty small, all around our meal was pretty good but not great. read more

Oh my, the pierogis were so good. We ordered the variety plate...what a good decision. The dough chewey and soft, the fillings delicious. We also shared the Ukrainian meatballs with mashed potatoes words cannot describe the delight my palate had with each bite. Oh and don't forget the martini bar...the lemon drop martini so pucker good and our waitress/bartender Heather the most incredible! We will be back, maybe tomorrow! Oh the ambiance so pretty. read more

Olena made our night at Pierogi Bar St. Pete. She was the server, bartender, and runner all at once, and still gave us fantastic service with a warm, genuine attitude. We shared the Ukrainian Garden Salad and the Kozak Platter with the traditional potatoes pan fried in butter and caramelized onions, and everything was delicious. She even made me a custom cocktail that was perfect. The ambiance was quiet and comfortable, which made it easy to relax and enjoy the meal. Olena really stood out and made the whole experience feel special. read more

Loved this place!! Olena was the best!! She is fast and very accommodating!! Sweet upscale yet family environment. Pierogis are amazing!! Potato packages the best we've had!!

Last night we were a party of 4. Found this place on Yelp and we love Pierogi's plus the menu items looked really interesting as well. My wife had the Pierogi platter which was 18 pierogis plus sides. Also she ordered the potato pancakes. I had the Lamb shank which was very nice with mashed potato's, vegetables and a fantastic thick sauce. We all really enjoyed the whole meal. Our waiter was very knowledgeable on the menu and how the food was prepared. On the way out we ended up having a very nice conversation with the owner and validated our feelings that we wanted to come back. Other items I will try include the pickle soup (yes and we did get a taste and it was excellent), the pot roast and the schnitzel. The portions were just right as well. Not a place to be skipped. read more

We use to go here frequently when it was O' Bistro; it was usually good. We've gone twice sine perogi place. Sucks big time. And take home perogis are even worse. Definitely will not be returning since even recent review are still very critical/bad. Boring and bad. read more

First time here. Meat pierogies were the only pierogies I liked. Potato pancakes were good. Chicken Kiev (hubby's dish) was really good! I had the Ukrainian Meatballs, which was ok but I wouldn't order it again. The kielbasa looked so good, but we unfortunately didn't try it. We have to go back again to try the kielbasa. The table next to us got it after we ordered, and we were like DAAAAMN.... those look good! Ambience is nice. Waiter was nice. We had a really sweet couple (Filipina & her American husband) dining next to us who ended up paying for our meal in secret!! If you're reading this, THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I really wish I could thank them in person. I would definitely come back again to try more dishes. read more

Our first visit to a unique Ukrainian restaurant Pierogie Bar in St. Pete, owned by my wife's good friends, Ulyana Sabadylo-Voloshyn and Roman Voloshyn from Lviv, Ukraine. As you walk in, you are welcomed by a warm atmosphere of Ukrainian decor, soothing Ukrainian music and appetizing aroma of Ukrainian authentic cuisine. I enjoyed a Kozak platter with artisan sausage, potato pancakes, and farmer cheese & potato pierogies pan-seared to crispy perfection. My wife had Tart Cherry pierogies (her favorite childhood dessert) - both tangy and sweet, melting in her mouth. Also not to overlook a varity of crafted martinis. My wife enjoyed a "Mahia" martini made with beetroot and white pepper reduction which she stated was refreshingly one of a kind! I enjoyed the "Almond Joy" Martini. The wait staff and service was excellent! Very attentive and knowledgeable about the menu and the culture behind the food. Highly recommend visiting this place for a unique cultural and gastronomic experience. read more

I came here after hearing some family friends who been several times and loved it! I got the potato pancakes and the variety pierogi so k could try them all. I think the potato am cabbage was my favorite! My boyfriend got the cabbage rolls with both sauces which were excellent. I think I preferred the red sauce which was kind of like a vodka sauce. Our waitress was so accommodating and nice! I would definitely come back here again! read more

This place has become a staple during our St. Pete visits! Great food, specially the pierogis and sausage, although a bit on the pricier side. During our last visit I was little dissapointed in the Cabbage Roll as I found them bit sweet. I'm used to cabbage rolls being much more savory and sour from other european restaurants. Both the meat stuffing and sauce could have been a bit more savory. Other than that, everything was great! Friendly staff too! Will keep coming back! read more

You simply must try the Ukrainian Pierogi Bar at 6661 Central Ave in St Petersburg . The name is a bit misleading . The is the very best European cuisine in Pinellas County . It's a full restaurant with multiple , excellent dinner items . The lamb shank is huge and delicious and the meatloaf is superb. But you absolutely MUST try the schnitzel. Large pork portions with perfect breading , mushroom gravy , mashed potatoes and cabbage slaw . This is the best schnitzel I've ever had .... and I've tried plenty ! If you are looking for a new restaurant with exceptional foods , try the Pierogi Bar. If you order the schnitzel just one time ..... you will be hooked for sure . It's incredible !! read more

LOVE! This place is my favorite. We are local and we eat here all the time. The pierogis are the BEST! Get the pickled onions they are delicious. Kovbasa sausage is my husbands favorite. We always share a dozen of the cheddar and potato pierogis as a family- pan fried in the butter is our favorite way to have it served- but you can choose from multiple cooking styles. The Ukrainian Dirty Martini with a pickle is probably the best drink I've ever had. I love this place. read more

OMG!!! So good. Didn't know what to expect. We stopped here before going to the health food store in the plaza. You know never go to the grocery store hungry. I was just expecting a quick bite and to try some Ukrainian food. The food was so good. I wasn't sure if there were a lot of vegetarian options or any for that matter. But yes. The food was amazing. The beet salad was so good I forgot there were prunes in it. The pierogis amazing! We came at a good time because there were t a lot of people there when we got there but as we were leaving it was getting crowded. Will I go back absolutely especially when I need a pierogi fix. Definitely try this place out if you're curious about Ukrainian food. read more

I love the Peirogie choices-my favorite is the mushroom. I also love that I can order them frozen to-go whenever I like. I was surprised by the texture and taste of the potato pancakes- they were light and not at all like the heavy and dense deep fried version I love to eat at Veselkas, NYC. Staff always friendly and helpful. Definitely worth a visit! read more

The food was phenomenal! The pierogies with schnitzil were so good I ate it all. The server was very helpful and friendly. The restaurant was clean and well laid out.

Pierogi Bar - My plate of amazing pierogis. I tried them all and they were amazing! - Ukrainian Near Me - Saint Petersburg, Florida

I am not exaggerating when I say this place is DIVINE! The food? Phenomenal. The Service? Wonderful. Thank you David!! We started with a 1/2 dozen pierogis. Potato and cheddar cheese with a side of kielbasa. They were stuffed to perfection, and the kielbasa was juicy with a satisfying crunch. For our entrees I had the lamb shank with mashed potatoes and a vegetable medley that consisted of squash, zucchini, and peppers. Our waiter wasn't kidding when he said I didn't need a knife. It melted in my mouth and paired perfectly with the mashed potatoes. It was flavorful and tender. My husband had the schnitzel topped with mushroom gravy and mashed potatoes for the side, along with a salad and house dressing. He enjoyed it very much. We were both silently enjoying the food. What better way to tell a meal is hitting the spot am I right? The entrees are well portioned. I even had some leftovers. The menu is full of various options and I look forward to returning to try some crepes! We had the pleasure of meeting the owners on our way out and thanking them for the experience and opportunity to enjoy a peaceful and delightful meal. 10/10 would recommend! read more

I had been wanting to try this spot for a while and wow, what a delicious meal! Know that if you eat here, you're going to have to spend a pretty penny. I got a plate with Ukrainian sausage, 3 potato latkes, and 3 pierogies and it was $25. There seems to be an up charge for everything- to pan fry the pierogis is $4 extra, a different sauce on the cabbage rolls is $2 extra. I got the potato and cheddar pierogis for an additional $1 and they were very good. Not a inexpensive dinner at all but a tasty spot. Service was good, albeit it a bit delayed at times, and the restaurant is large. I would go back but maybe for a special occasion! read more

An authentic Ukrainian restaurant? Dunno, I'm Polish with Ukrainian great-grandfather. THIS food was to DIE for. Oh, yes Pierogis! Potato pancakes! My tummy was very happy. Opted for the fried just cheese pierogis as my maternal grandmother made. I still sigh over the goodness of these cheese packages! Just a little bit of the borscht was left and yes, Bobci came back to my mind! My lunch companion had one piece of kovbasa with her potato pancake and cheese pierogis. Declared the kovbasa was delicious especially since she'd never tried it before. The size was adequate as a side to the meal. We came at an off hour so we had the waitperson all to ourselves until halfway through our meal. It was clear that there was love in the cooking and the serving. Overall the vibe was warm and welcoming. A unique restaurant you MUST check out! read more

Absolutely delicious! Kozak platter and Shishlick. Not to be missed. Mostly Ukrainian staff. The pierogis are lovely, obviously. We had spinach and potato. But the kielbasa and the shisklik (medium rare steak) were amazing. Goes perfect with a cold beer. We will be back Recommendations by the waitress were perfect. read more

We came here with another couple Friday night. The food and service were nice. The potato and mushroom pierogis were especially good with great flavor. I also had the Ukrainian martini (I asked for a swap of vodka for the gin) and it was really good and interesting. Definitely something to try if you like dill!! Husband and friends also tried several beers that were very good as well. read more

Excellent and authentic home cooking that is always delicious and filling. I wholeheartedly recommend.

Pierogi & potato pancakes were Genuine authenticity! Make sure that you go when it's "All you can eat" ! It was the same flavor that my mother makes ! I brought some to my Mother and she was so happy ! Definitely worth the visit! read more

After visiting Eastern Europe a few years back and having homemade pierogis in Poland, I had been dreaming of having yummy pierogis like that again. I had been looking for a place here in the Bay Area that had some that were freshly made and tasted like traditional pierogis, and I hadn't found the place- until now. I was in St Pete and was looking for a place to stop and eat and somehow stumbled across Pierogi Bar, so I decided to stop in. It's a super cute spot with amazing service, great atmosphere and truly delicious pierogis. I had the potato and fresh cheese pierogis, pan seared in butter, topped with bacon. We also got a portion of potato pancakes which were incredible. I'm a huge fan of kartoffelpuffers, the German potato pancakes with sour cream and apple sauce, and our waiter was so lovely (and also German!) so he brought us some apple sauce and sour cream with the potato pancakes. It was truly a great experience. If you're ever in the St Pete area, you'll definitely have to stop here! read more

Absolutely must try! What a gem to have in St. Pete. We got 3 kinds of pierogis: spinach and potato, mushroom and potato, and sauerkraut and potato. Each was divine, but the mushroom one stole the show (I don't even usually like mushrooms). Delicious with their caramelized onions. All of it was vegan! And we were surprised to find they have a full bar, The Dirty Ukrainian martini was OUTSTANDING!! We'll definitely be back again and again. And took some pierogis to go until next time :) Our waitress was amazing and we also met the owner who was very kind as well. read more

We go to this wonderful restaurant almost every Monday. On our first visit, we ordered the pierogis which were good; but, for over a year, we've ordered the potato pancakes -double order- and the pot roast. Both are super-excellent, and we highly recommend you try them. On Monday, they have various Martini specials...delicious! This restaurant is like a jewel taste-wise as to the potato pancakes and pot roast...our favorites. read more

I've reviewed before, but that was when they were in transition after purchasing O'Bistro. They have kept a few of the favorites (salads, meatloaf, some apps) but the menu has definitely received a facelift to feature more Ukrainian dishes. Ownership is LOVELY (as locals know the previous owner/manager of this space had some... rough edges) and friendly, service remains fantastic. The prices have increased a bit, which is expected, but it's not a budget meal (nor should it be as this is still "tablecloth" dining. Ambiance remains largely unchanged. It is a little weird that they are playing like, legitimate terrestrial radio (commercials and all). Also, the mark of any authentic experience... there's a large Ukrainian family on their first visit and conversation has completely stopped after they received their meal. I just heard "Delicious!" after total silence for several minutes. read more
