People's Pierogi Collective

As I was downtown walking around Eastern Market a few weeks ago; I saw a line with people walking away with these humongous sausages. I knew that I wanted to try it at that point, so I stepped right in line!As I walked up to order, I saw that I wanted to order some pierogis! I order the Spinach and Artichoke; Potato and Farmers Cheese, and Corned Beef and Swiss pierogis! The liked the Potato and Cheese the best, but all were good. I also ordered a sausage! Very good! I ordered it plain (I know, know. What's the point without the sauerkraut, lol)...I definitely will return whenever I'm back at the Eastern Market! Very friendly and fun staff, great food, and great prices!

We tried the "artichoke spinach" and the "potato cheese" at the Eastern Market on a Saturday. They were both delicious!! I generally prefer potato with out cheese but the cheese in these was super subtle so it worked out well. Don't say no to the sauerkraut-it's super yummy. We did say no to sour cream but I bet it's good too

To be clear, this review may not be fair to People's Pierogi. Having traveled quite a distance to shop at Eastern Market, I found myself needing nourishment and stumbled across People's Pierogi. I approached and stood behind a gentleman who was waiting to receive the food he ordered. The woman behind the table looked at me and proceeded to retrieve the gentleman's order. I was thoroughly impressed with what was handed to him. I heard them mention that it was a hotdog. While I don't often eat hot dogs, I made up mind and decided to have one this particular Saturday morning. The woman handed him his hotdog, looked at me, and walked away. At this point, I questioned whether or not People's Pierogi wanted my business. Initially, I decided to take my business elsewhere. But then I yelled, can I order a hotdog? Another worker, who seemed pleasant said, "You place your order in the line over there." Now I understand why the woman didn't take my order. In my opinion, as a potential customer, I should have been acknowledged by the first worker who could have directed me appropriately. Because I felt disregarded, People's Pierogi will never get my business. My two cents.

Probably the most poppin' food stall at Eastern Market. Friends had recommended their pierogis so we decided to stop by on a Saturday afternoon. We got a Polish plate with a regular sausage and 4 different pierogis (corned beef, spinach and artichoke, jalapeño popper, and potato and cheese). The food was good - the sausage was hot and fresh and we really enjoyed the sauerkraut topping. The corned beef pierogi was definitely the best one, followed by the potato. The spinach and jalapeño ones tasted...accurate, for lack of a better word. I think I'd rather eat a regular jalapeño popper. Overall I thought it was a good but expensive for what it was.

Not good not bad just average, I was really looking forward to the corned beef and Swiss well the Swiss was missing. When I first ordered they gave me the wrong ones they gave me the cheese and potato, I walked back over and they corrected it with no problem. So the customer service is really good at fixing a problems. They let me keep the potato and cheese and those were just average. The corned beef was supposed to have Swiss but didn't, and the taste was nothing to be exciting about. Only good point was the side of kraut and that was not what I was there for. I do see great ratings by other yelpers I just hope today was a off day. I probably will not try again.

Hamtramck is a place that every Detroiter knows where you can receive authentic Polish food. Consequently, if you cook Polish food and want it to be authentic and made with love, then it should be made from scratch.No other food truck vendor is serving pierogi's, giving People's Pierogi a unique advantage. I wish they seized the moment though. They offer three flavors mushroom with a cayenne, potato and cheese, and artichoke and spinach. When we got to the front of the line, we could see that they were grilling each one to give it a nice golden brown color. We had the opportunity to talk with the staff and inquire about their ingredients. I was unhappy to hear that they don't make the pasta. The staff did say that all the fillings are hand-made, in which they spent the previous evening preparing it. So it's half and half, some components hand-made and the rest not so.One notable fact, all three options were vegetarian. This rarely happens. Usually it's multiple meat options with one vegetarian. Therefore, vegetarians enjoy! The potato and cheese was the least favorite. The flavors of all the ingredients were fairly bland. The mushroom cayenne pierogi was the second best one available. It just didn't have enough heat. With cayenne as part of the main ingredient, you would expect some heat, but it was barely present. Since I have to pick one as my favorite, well I guess the lucky title goes to the artichoke and spinach. It was the one that did have flavor and you could taste the artichoke as well as the spinach. All three were edible, but if I had to order one again, it would only be artichoke and spinach.The pierogis were served with sauerkraut, which they could have kept. I asked if it were homemade and it is not, which the taste reveals.It's nice to have some variety at food truck rallies, however I hope to see their flavors improve with complexity and execution.

YUM YUM YUM! I am pretty traditional when it comes to Pierogi so I only got the potato and cheese with sauerkraut on the side. It is only $5 for three with no extra charge for the sauerkraut or sour cream! They are so tasty and filling. I wanted to buy some to take home, but my freezer is just too full right now! But I will absolutely be back to buy some in the future to eat and to take home!

Operating out of a mobile pierogi cart are the People's Pierogi Collective.A food cart specializing in, you guess it, pierogi. Last time i was there, they were offering a couple varieties of these handmade dumplings filled with your choice of:1. Sauerkraut 2. Mushroom & Potato3. Michigan CherrySince i've had my share of the traditional pierogis (the ones stuffed with potato or sauerkraut) i decided to venture away from the savory and enter the sweet side of the pierogi world, opting for the fresh cherry filling!The verdict: great hand kneaded dough, warm cherry filling, and overall delicious!Now i know i'm gonna sound like an El Cheapo but the pierogis were kinda small and to get 3 of them for $5 was highway robbery! For that price, i'm gonna need the portion size (per dumpling) to be bigger or make it 5 small pierogis for $5 and we'll call it a day!

"Who stole the kishka, who stole the kishka, who stole the kishka? Won't you bring it back!"That silly Polish ditty reminds me of my goofy father dancing and singing like a goombeck, so imagine my joy when I was shopping at Eastern Market and saw a food stand with employees hawking pierogi wearing t-shirts that say, "I stole the kishka". Best. Thing. Ever.This lovely group is bringing pierogi to the people - in both a traditional and a VERY non-traditional way. You can find the pierogi you grew up with, or perhaps you'd like to try a breakfast pierogi?The pierogi were good. They felt a tad expensive, but after popping a squat on the curb and digging in - the price was no longer a concern. My chlopczyk even ate a few bites.Dziekuje to PPC for such an awesome addition to Eastern Market. (And I hear, soon to your grocers shelves and Ann Arborites as well)

Fairly good pierogis, the skin has a nice chew and not too doughy. They have a food cart in Eastern Market, serves 3 pierogis in one serving accompanied by sauerkraut and caramelized onions. I am just curious...is pierogi considered a high-end food in Detroit area? I've had pierogis in many cities in Canada and US; they usually don't cost $2 a piece unless there is non-traditional, unique, and costly-to-make fillings involved. The ones being sold in Eastern Market have included Sauerkraut, potato and cheese, breakfast (egg, bacon, cheese), blueberry, cherry, etc. varieties, nowadays these are becoming pretty common and available fillings. Just wondering if $2 is the going rate in the D?
