The Pierogi Ladies in Rahway are 100%. Old School, all butter, non-diet. From a local business owner, we have had grown-men eating their Pierogi's with their bare hands in the hallway rather than let them get cold. read more

Very nice staff. Great pierogis but call early or your selection will be limited. They have specials, like potato pancakes on Wednesdays.

Always & consistently reliably delicious Pierogis. The potato pancakes are a treat! Always the freshest ingredients and freshly made!

The best Pierogis around. Period. Place an order in advance, as they sell out fast. This place is a simple, no nonsense, authentic pierogi kitchen. If your roots are in Poland or its neighbors, the taste will take you home! read more

Wow, this place is a trip and a half. Make sure to preorder, as everything seems to be made to order. I bought two dozen pierogies today, and my soon to be 102 year old aunt said they're the best she's ever had! read more

Pierogi Palace - 1 dozen each of cheese and cheese/sauerkraut. My 101 year old aunt loved them! - Polish Near Me - Rahway, New Jersey

Let me start by saying I really wanted to love this establishment as it is family owned and run, but I just can't give it a better review. Stopped in on a Saturday around 11 am. The owners daughter runs the shop, she told me that mom is never their. She was making the dough so that part is super fresh and seems to be made daily. Asked for 1 dozen potato & cheese (P&C) and 1 dozen potato & spinach (P&C). Was asked if I could come back around 330 pm. as no Pierogies were made as of yet . Came back at 330, and the same daughter was working. Still needed to wait another 20 minutes as my Pierogies weren't even started. Pierogies were made, so again nice n fresh. All sounds good, except the wait, but here are the main issues: the spinach was a frozen bag microwaved to defrost than mixed into the potatoes, so not fresh at all. No cheese was added in for the P&C Pierogies. The potato tasted like it came from a box. No seasoning added, very bland. After the Pierogies are boiled, they are doused into melted butter before being boxed up. This made them greasy. I heated them in a frying pan to crisp them up. The store is take out only and not the cleanest I have been to. Sadly, i will not be back. read more

See all

Heard that Pierogi Palace was good. I was getting some to take back to California. I stopped in around 9:30 am. Pierogies were being made. I was told they would be ready about noon. So I placed order & said I would return around 4:30. The women was frying a big pot of onions & another pot of sauerkraut. There was also a large pot of potatoes. The place smelled fabulous. I came back & purchased 4 dozen. Packed on ice and took back to California. So delicious, this will be my yearly stop when coming to the East Coast. read more

Best homemade pierogi's I've eaten in a very long time. Almost passed it by called a friend and she came with me. We both placed orders

I have been looking for a place that sells pierogies for sometime now. Last week I decided to give this place a try I ordered the cheddar and potato pierogies and I must say they were beyond my expectations. The dough was nice and thin the pierogi was a nice size and it had lots of flavor these are probably the best pierogies I have ever had. The prices are very reasonable and the portions are big I believe you got a dozen for around 10 or $11. I also put in an order for the stuffed cabbages and they were also very delicious cannot complain I believe you get five cabbages for $12 or so. I cannot wait to try the pierogies with the Meat inside the order requires a bigger order but definitely would be worth the money. I believe it's cash only which is very important to know and they are nice enough to bring out your order to the car. I will be a repeat customer and I am happy that I found this hidden gem I guarantee you that you will not be disappointed if you tried pierogi Palace. read more

Bought the Pierogis for a priest. When I asked him how were they he said best he's ever had. Outstanding! But I do recommend you order ahead of time. read more

Where do I start...love the pierogis that are made here but..the owner is rude, stressed and very unprofessional..I can't believe she runs a business..the place is disgustingly dirty!! read more

Delicious pierogis made fresh daily. We have never been disappointed in any of their creations!

I ordered 4 doz. pierogi's on March 14- to be picked up on Good Friday in early pm. They tell everyone that the orders will not be ready until 5 pm! I explained that my husband is disabled & driving from Morris County to Rahway at 5 pm in traffic would be difficult could we please come earlier? She was downright "fresh" saying she has lots of disabled customers, & some people are coming from Pa. She was unwilling to work with me in any way!~ Since they only accept cash, I also have to go to the bank - I am disappointed with the lack of caring on this place ..Can anyone recommend another good pierogi place? read more

1 dozen potato and cheese $8 1 dozen is plenty for one person They have nothing other than periogis ready. Call ahead to see what they have ready. No plates forks or napkins given with pick up. Street parking No seating read more

Great Family owned business. The best Pierogies around and cant beat the prices. We always order them for the holidays and big events like a superbowl party. read more

I've been going here ever since I can remember to get pierogies. No matter where else I have had them, no pierogies have ever beaten the absolutely delicious taste of Pierogi Palace. As the other reviewer has said they are fantastically fresh. You can watch the women in the kitchen making them and the ones they have in the freezers still taste like they were just made when you bring them home! Also, you have to try their stuffed cabbage. I have been dying to figure out their recipe because I can't make anything that tastes half as good as their stuff. But be careful when you go! Around Christmas and Easter they sell out fast, so if you want some at that time, I suggest calling EARLY and making orders. read more

I saw the Yelp email yesterday on dumplings in NJ and realized that I would be driving by Pierogi Palace today. Being a Ukie who was raised on this food, and insists on it for all the holidays, I had to stop in. I'm glad I did. Yes small. Yes they are constantly making everything fresh. No, I could not get the fresh because I had not ordered ahead. I got a box of frozen potato and cheese and heated them up at home. Wow -- these are very good pierogis! I will be trying them fresh the next time I will be in the area. The only thing I would note is that they are not cheap! Usually I buy from the church ladies or Polish groceries for $5-$6 a dozen. These were $7.50. They are very good and you will pay for that difference. read more

Ok guys, this is how it works. 1. Look at the photo of the menu someone nicely posted here on yelp and decide on your order. 2 . Call and place your order. When you speak with someone, they'll give you a pick up time. 3. Bring cash. This is cash only. There's an atm at the bar across the street if you forget. 4. Pierogi! They're so delicious here and so fresh, it's worth the simple phone call of placing your order ahead of time. There are so many negative reviews simply because it was their first time here and they didn't understand the ordering process. Should it be more clear this is not a take out place? Yes. Do the employees get impatient? Sometimes. Does it warrant trying to deter other customers because there was no conversation of the best way to order? No. Call ahead, bring cash, eat pierogies. read more

Oh.My.God. Best pierogies I have EVER had in my life. Modest, tiny little storefront, easy to miss. Take-out only. The sweet girl/lady working today was making pierogies right in front of us (the place is so small and the kitchen is straight ahead past the counter). As we read through the pierogi options -- there are about 10 -- we commented ooooh beef brisket. Unfortunately, you need to order a minimum of 4 dozen for the meat pierogies. But she said that since she had a special order for those today, she could do a dozen for us. Awesome. We didn't stop there, also got the potato/cheddar and cabbage ones (all fresh) plus stuffed peppers and stuffed cabbages (frozen). Had the pierogies for dinner tonight, pan sauteed them with some butter and fried onions. They were all delicious, SO delicious, and they were made with love. Can't wait to try to the stuffed peppers and stuffed cabbages later in the week. You guys just got yourselves some new regulars. read more

Best pierogis around! Always fresh! Don't let the outside deceive you the pierogis are awesome. The potato and cheese ones are my favorite but there are many different kinds. read more

You might think there's a lot of Crud on the outside of the building but wait till you get inside. " More crud!. You might hate the car now Mr. Griswold,but wait to you drive it". I don't know how this place passes inspection. I was greeted with a rather curt ,"do you have an order". I said "no" and you'd think I'll stole fizzy lifting drinks. I got all kinds of attitude about having to pre-order. It wasn't during the holidays,so I assumed coming at lunchtime, on Monday,there would be some fresh pierogies around. I'm glad there weren't many because I wasn't buying due to the crud. So I took a menu and politely said I would call in an order of my favorites at a later date. Maye it's a Rahway thing, but I don't get it. read more

All I can say is WOW! Picked up some piero go's to go, and made it with sauerkraut, and kielbasa. They were damn close to my grandma's homemade recipe! I was definitely pleasantly surprised when I tasted them! I recommend lightly toasting them in a pan with a pinch of salt, and topping them with with a dollop of chive sour cream and sautéed onions! Cannot waaaaiiiit to go back! read more

TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!!! My wife called pierogi palace to inquire about a pre-ordering pierogis for Christmas. My wife mentioned that this was her first time calling and saw the rave reviews online so she wanted to give them a try. They informed her that the order is ready (they had already made a batch and frozen them) and that we could come in and pick them up ANYTIME! My wife said, "I'm not sure if my husband can get by there today, would it be okay to come by Friday and pick them up?" The lady says, sure, that the order would be there with my name on it and we could come by "ANYTIME" to pickup. I called them Friday morning to inform them that we had placed and order the day before and they said "you can come by and pick them up anytime, we are open until 6pm". Great! I got there at 3:30pm that same day. There was a sign on the door and I was stopped by one of the girls working there and she said, "no pickups until after 4:30, if you didn't call in for early pickup, you have to wait until after 4:30". I tried to explain to the girl that I had called that morning and was told my order was ready and I could come by anytime to pick up. Didn't matter, I had to wait until after 4:30. Now, It was snowing, traffic was horrendous and it took me 45 mins to drive 7 miles, so I was just a little frustrated. I explained to the young girl that this was unacceptable and I could not wait for another hour being that I lived an hour away. I called the wife and explained what was happening, she said they told her we could come by ANYTIME to pick up. I went into the store and before I could speak, one of the other girls playing with her dough, looked at me while I was on the phone with my wife and said, "IT'S NOT GONNA CHANGE ANYTHING". That sent me over the edge! One of the older women said, "did you call in your order yesterday? YES! I exclaimed and then she asked, "are you (my name)? YES! I exclaimed again. "Oh, we have your order right here" she says. FINALLY, someone that knows how to ask questions instead of assuming! "I'm sorry, it gets really busy this time of year" she says. "It's okay, I understand" I said. Well, it doesn't stop there, I go to pay for my order and THEY DON'T EXCEPT CREDIT CARD! I then said, "christ all mighty, you dont except CC"? Then that's when this obese thing from behind the counter came around and said, "GIVE ME THE GOD@#%N BAG, YOU'RE NOT GETTING THEM!" 1) If you are a first time customer, please explain the ordering and pickup procedure in detail and it would be a good idea to mention that you only except CASH! None of this was told to my wife when she place her order. 2) NEVER, NEVER swear at your customers and grab their order from there hands! Now, To the RUDE woman behind the counter. You must be related to the owners because there is NO WAY any decent business owner would ever keep you hired on with your attitude. This was a terrible first time experience. The food may be good, we will never know, but I cannot recommend this place with the lack of customer service that provided me. read more

Great homemade pierogies BUT a terrible service so utterly disgusted right now I will never go back!!!!

Let me preface by saying I am not a big mashed potato lover. That said, these pierogis are absolutely delicious! The outside casings of the pierogis are like a super thin noodles and the various inside ingredients are always fresh. The place is a bit dumpy and they have limited selections, but you can always order specialty items a day or two beforehand. My family and I also enjoy their stuffed cabbage. I wish they sold precooked meals. Then they would earn an additional star. read more

Was so excited to try this place out after reading yelp reviews. Drive to place from Union. Asked for 1/2 dozen of mushroom & sauerkrat. Lady on counter said we only sell by dozen. She then said we only have potato & potato/cheese. Since they were not my original choices and I can't buy 1/2 dozen (cost abt $9), I was contemplating what to buy. This is when 'Soup Nazi' lady just took her bag and walked out the door. Yes, simple and plain. No "I'll be right back" or anything. Just simple left without saying a word. I didn't quite realize what just happened until the 'equally surprised' folks that were behind rolling fresh pierogies volunteered to help. At this point, I lost my appetite & walked out myself. Not sure if I'll ever try this place again. If you want to see a 'soup nazi', stop by. Oh by the way, whats the emergency that she walked out. Lady was sitting in her car outside shop either smoking or talking to someone. Are you kidding me? Unfortunately couldnt give 'zero' rating. read more

AMAZING FOOD! first time trying was today and It was delicious. Definitely need to go back!!!

I have tried others because I love pierogies , but every time I eat them I always say they still don't match pierogies palace. if you want something different you found it right here . I always wonder why they haven't opened in other locations to spread this great product around. I will be moving out of state soon and wish they had a way I could get them delivered through express mail. even frozen and cooked these are awesome. read more

This spot was "da bomb"! Excellent quality for a great price. If you want your Baba's perogis this is the spot that will take you back. Its pick up/take out no dining in but worth the trip. Call ahead for pick up if you are having a party. read more

Pierogi Palace - Polish Near Me - Rahway, New Jersey

Amazing food from the littlest of shops. The only place I have found that makes Pierogi's much like my mom used too. The dough is so thin! Great bunch of friendly hardworking peeps too! read more

Let me start off with I have been here in the past a few times. I have dealt with the owner. ( short blonde woman) She was actually nice. Fast forward a few years, I decided to place an order for my co-workers and I. I told them about the place and how good the pierogis are. Called Monday to place my order for Tuesday pick up. Spoke to a female who seemed a little uninterested in taking the order. I understand we all have off days. She tells me 130 pm pick up time for my order. Tuesday afternoon 130 pm. I walked in and was surprised how dirty the place is, was not like this the last time I was there. There was an elderly gentlemen in front of me that just paid for his order. The young female with the nose ring and brown blonde hair, and ear buds in her ears was the only one working. You can clearly see she definitely does not want to be there. So I said "Good afternoon I have an order for 130", and handed her my list to make it easier for her. Her response "It's not ready yet." Seemed a little snippy, I brushed it off and told her I can wait. Another gentlemen walked in and said he had an order for 2 pm. Now this is where it gets interesting. She looked down on the counter and rudely replied "No 4pm." He clearly was very angry, and stated "I came from down the shore for this shit." "I can't wait around for 2 hours, I told them 2 pm." She in return with an attitude, "I don't know what to tell you, your not fucking getting them." So he asked "What do you have?" Her "I have nothing and your not getting yours." So angrily replied back "Then cancel the order," and walked out. She then called her mother, who I believe is the owner, screaming at the top of her lungs (literally) "Your daughter fucked up an order and put down 4 pm instead of 2 pm and the guy walked out." "Maybe if your fucking ass showed up too work we wouldn't have these problems." "Fuck you," and then hung up. I stood there looking at my e mails pondering do I leave? So the mother called back, I have no idea what was said but again the girl began screaming and cursing again, basically the same thing she had already said. I have never felt so uncomfortable in a business before. I really just wanted to leave now. She began slamming things around, and continued with my order. Now at this point I started focusing on her. Few things I have noticed un-kept hair (praying to god none of it ended up in the food), she was not wearing gloves, now I began to think "OMG she's been touching everything bare handed and now my food". As I am standing there thinking ok this is now a health violation of some sort. I began looking around the place, like really looking around, and wondering how in the hell does this place stay open. Horrible customer service and dirty. She completed my order and roughly plopped it on the counter. I said "Thank you have a nice day." She clearly ignored me. As I left right outside to the left of the door there were 2 dead rats. That definitely turned me off. I have lived in Rahway for 5 years around the block from here and never realized how bad it is. I will definitely be calling the board of health, and never returning to this dump again. I don't understand how the owner does not resolve the problems with this place, fire your daughter, she is making you lose business, and clean the place. I am pretty sure your business pays your bills, losing it will only hurt you. read more

"They are a one trick pony? What does that mean? Oh God!" - the words of my Dad when I asked him about Pierogi Palace. Pierogi Palace is the closest thing to an old-fashioned, home-made, traditional pierogi. The store is insanely small with the kitchen inches away. It is all in front of you when you walk in with a few small refrigerators with fresh pierogies in them and then the kitchen behind that. When you want to make an order for the future, one of the ladies in the kitchen will stop making pierogies and take your order. Again, it's nothing special. They make the pierogies freshly and if you buy a small carton, you can almost bet that they have been made either that day or the day before. IT'S FRESH! Everyone in the general area also knows about Pierogi Palace which has kept them open for years without great advertising or a nice store front. To make orders during the Christmas/New Year's season, you should probably put the order in about a month in advance. My family actually put our order in yesterday for Eastern Orthodox Christmas on January 7th. That is actually more than a month in advance. IT'S THAT GOOD! You want some fresh, traditional pierogies then you better head to Rahway to Pierogi Palace. It's really the best. read more

Stopped by for a quick bite but was told they only had potato & cheese pierogis because the had a big order prior... so I ordered that and there was no cheese! It also was super bland and very oily. Don't know what the hype is all about. This place is more like you NEED to order ahead of time, take the pierogi home and actually cook it on a stove/oven.... Not the kind of "take out" I was thinking of. read more

Horrible service. Larisa Valchuk is the bookeeper. Russian, heavy accent, no business to be working with people, threatening, rude person!!!! No more orders from this company, because of one EMPLOYEE. read more

The BEST pierogies I've ever had. I've had the potato/pot cheese, saurkraut/mushroom, and brisket. They were sooooo good. I even love the frozen ones after they are baked in the oven, the dough gets good and crispy. But fresh made are the best!! read more

Saw this place across from Rockys and noticed someone inside at like 9:30, i call and a girl answered and was so cool letting me know we could come over and buy the ones she had left, got home after listening to another set from the band Against The Grain and cooked some up, they were awesome!!! Loved the jalapeño ones especially. Sooo good! read more
