Reviews of Hungry Rooster (Catering)

Emily Mathews

I ordered food through skip and was missing literally 3/4 of the food I payed for and what I did get wasn’t ever made how I asked and I had to deal with skip witch was a nightmare and I got a delivery fee refunded and that’s it so out of a 55$ order with most of it missing and what I did get was wrong I got 5$ refunded so most of the family memebers I had over for the holidays didn’t end up getting food after travelling all day to get here so thanks a lot for the this place is trash don’t waste your time

Not a supermarket style mass produced dough ball of a pierogi, these are hand crafted delicious perogies. Served with some cabbage slaw with an original tangy dressing. The dressing and frozen pierogies are available for sale to enjoy in your own home. Check out the Hungry Rooster for lunch or dinner.

True Polish food with a bit of a Mexican Flair all made fresh it's amazing

Dina Vaccari

If you havent been here...or tried the perogie grilled cheese sourdough sandwich then you are missing out. Borscht is on point. This place is a gem, in when I say gem. I mean diamond

This is a review for vegans! I am grateful they offer two vegan perogy options here. They are both delicious and you can really tell they're made with love and tradition. None of the full meals are vegan, so I would recommend getting the 4 perogies for $5, with onions! Or take a frozen bag home for around $14. :)

Delicious large portions. Come for the perogies, stay for the cabbage slaw! Not a good place to eat in but if you want comfort food to go it's excellent

Again and again and again!!!! These guys have the greatest $10 lunch around the area, if you're not too late to miss the lunch special. Great vegetarian options but nothing vegan. The Pirogies and the Borscht are a must

Erik W

Such good perogies, love the beef and pork ones and potato and cheese. Best coleslaw ever too!!!

Josh Richardson

We had a great lunch here! Delicious food and very friendly people!

Des D

Always great food and service

jesse davis

The price was on point, and the meal was excellent. The perogies were the best I've ever had, the meal filling. The coleslaw was so good that even my husband (who doesn't usually like it eat coleslaw) ate it all and commented on how tasty it was! Truly recommend for a different but incredibly tasty purchased meal, and we will for sure be going back for both fresh and the take home frozen perogies!

This place is a hidden gem for sure. After a heavy lifting day at the gym on a cheat day, I was looking for something quick and filling with lots of carbs so I researched this place is heard about. D dropped in. Their Slapdown sandwich, a perogie-stuffed grilled cheese monstrosity, is absolutely loaded with flavour as is the generous serving of slaw it's served with. You can add four extra perogies to any plate for a few bucks extra and their borscht is next level. The owner is a sweet older Polish lady with a great attitude and a beaming smile. All in all it was one of the easiest five stars I've ever given.

Dustin Easton

Best perogies I've ever had! Not much else to say.

Alicia Mogg

My best friend has been working there for a long time he has passion for his work great place to eat ????

Graeme Kelln

Hands down best perogies on the island. Also have gluten free options!

Crumpet

Great traditional Ukrainian perogies with a twist of Mexican. Gourmet meals prepared for you to eat in or take out. Fresh frozen perogies and borscht is available to take home and cook or warm up for yourself. I've always had a good experience here with staff and the quality of food preparation is always extremely high. Give it a try or you are missing out! Vegetarian options available too

Jeff Sartor

Really good food and made to order. They have a freezer with food item to take home and make.

Kyle Kerr

reminds me of my grandmas cooking! So delicious!

Catherine Morley

People typically have different ideas of how traditional dishes are supposed to taste. In my opinion, this place got it spot on! Ma would approve the borscht with minimal criticism ;)

Kahlia Kontoolas

Always hot good friendly service and you get exactly what you order and what it states on the menu. The food comes quick and hot which is important when I'm grabbing lunch on the go.

Jeff Ricard

We love their perogies. Nice people too.

TheRattleShark

OMG the perogi sandwich was so good! Borscht was excellent as well. I’ll be back ???? ????

Perogy Sandwich! Makes a great grilled cheese :)

Deb Cochran

Great place for breakfast!

Cat Meow

Had their borscht for lunch today, and it was delicious! It's vegan too, if you omit the sour cream. And they had 2 types of vegan pierogi in their freezer section, which I'm so excited to try! They also carry some polish market items, like wawel chocolate and krowki candies :)

Donovan Jenkins

The food is awesome and very tasty. It is authentic Ukrainian food

Dane MacPherson

I highly recommend eating here, Kim was very friendly with us and gave us great service! The pierogies were very tasty and had been been cooked to perfection. The grilled cheese sandwich was also very good when paired with their own house made coleslaw. We will be back!

I love this place!!! I lived in radium hot springs and the farmers market every Friday I would buy this food from the owners daughter up there that had a food truck:) This soo delicious. Home made perogies, perfect sauerkraut, yummy coleslaw soo good.

rene radomski

This review is for the hungry rooster food truck. I caught them in invermere BC. I ordered the combo and everything was delicious. The staff were friendly and service was prompt. They had an area by the truck to sit down and enjoy your food. Hopefully I can check out the full restaurant in the future!

I love the perogies. We ordered spinach and feta. It’s take out only due to covid. The lady was very friendly. But she didn’t gave us forks and spoons.

Delicious polish food. Very fresh and definitely homemade. If you haven’t tried it before definitely do so!

Kasia Stepien

Food is phenomenal! The cottage cheese, potato, and dill pierogies taste just like my grandma would make. It’s a good spot for some good comfort food. However, service is subpar at best with very minimal interaction with customers. The lady actually left the building while we were waiting for our food to be made and sat out in some car chatting with someone. For take out, this place is wonderful or if you’d like to make them in the comfort of your own home, just buy a bag of the frozen ones they sell. But I wouldn’t sit and eat in there.

Stephen Bull

Super awesome, will be going back for sure ????

Kaylie Belcourt

I was pleasantly surprised at how tasty it was here. My husband and I both got the Slap Down and it was so fresh and full of flavour. The coleslaw was also really good and flavourful. Highly recommend trying this place out, you won’t be disappointed!

Tasty perogies with bacon and sour cream with onions. Yummy

Alicia McLean

The Slapdown sandwich is amazing!

Krista Nop

They have wonderful perogies, they even had mushroom which cant find anywhere else near here!

Nadine T (audichick)

Pretty legit perogies, like from home :) maybe add bułka smażona as a topping for the pieroski

Amanda Leighton

The food is great! The perogies are made from a family recipe, and they are the best I have tasted so far. I only had the snack, but will go back for their full meals, and take frozen ones home. Different varieties of perogies, as well as borscht.

Merlin Hansen

Have both ordered ready-to-eat as well as purchased there frozen products. Their perogies are very good with a great variety. Been here often and will continue to do so.

Drop by often to enjoy their peroggies.

Nic Burgess

You haven't had perogies until you've tried these perogies. You have options there's cheddar,Cottage,Spinach fetta,Musshroom Sourkraut and Beef and pork . The staff are absolutely great they will acomadate any requests on how you like your meal prepared and allways have time to personalize your dining experience at the hungry rooster kitchen . This is a must-try you will not be disappointed.We love your perogies ????

Marissa Weir

Bland boring food. Expensive considering its perogies and some terrible coleslaw.

Eric Streisel

Having a place that finally does great quality perogies just like my homeland!! From scratch! Genuine customer service. Very personable:-) Clean atmosphere and not long to wait.

Mike Macdonald

Best perogies around

AD Tonsi

Stopped by for a quick takeout lunch as it's near home. I got the slapdown sandwich (like a grilled cheese, but with cheese pierogies and bacon and onions) and a side of coleslaw and a few meat (pork and beef) pierogies. The sandwich was pretty good, very filling, though the bread was a bit greasy (yes, it's a grilled cheese, I know that, but it felt like there was a little too much.) The pierogies were fine but not super flavourful or unique. They were a bit overdone so I got more "burned" flavour than id like. The coleslaw is great and their dressing has some real bite. The meal was about $15 with tax, and while I'm not sure I'm rushing back for lunch anytime soon, some of their frozen pierogies do jump out at me as a possibility for dinner someday!

Alan Chapla

Another Nanaimo hidden gem. Great perogi! Tiny little store front but don't let that dissuade you. This place should have line ups out the door and around the building. The staff are always super friendly.

Justin Currie

Always great

Suzanne Hewitson

The best!

Danielle Bazowski

Best perogies ever! And even if you don't like perogies they have a few other options that are just as delicious, their coleslaw is pretty much the best I've ever had. Also definitely recommend the slap down. The people who work there are also super kind and awesome, the only part that sucks is that they're never open really late for dinner.

Lesli Lewis

Delicious and quick! Yum!

Don King

Best perogies I've ever had.

JOHN B

The perogies and borscht remind me of trips to my grandparents house. Great authentic taste and very filling.

JIMUCATION ABC

Went there to eat in. Good perogies, good Polish sausage. A bit expensive.

Lisa Tidder

This place is great! The lady was very friendly and the food was fantastic. I would recommend!

Caitlin Marquis

Absolutely delicious, ordered the $13 combo to go and it took a little while to come out but absolutely worth the wait. Tasted fresh and authentic. Would recommend!

Sharon Mcdowell

Some damn tastey perogies. Get a good amount of coleslaw and sour cream too.

Robert Filuk

I finally decided to check this place out. I had seen it a few times while driving by. I went with the Perogy grilled cheese sandwich, slaw and coke. With a $1.50 tip my order came to $17 and change. The sandwich was good, quality ingredients, the only drawback was that the onions are cut way too thick for my liking and they dominate the flavor. I was surprised on how good the slaw was, very bright and fresh. Paying $17 for this decent lunch seems a bit high but I'm noticing that all the restaurants in Nanaimo are overpriced. I may return for another meal but I would rather get a steak sandwich somewhere for that price.

Barb Toole

Best place I have EVER been or ukranian perogies!

Louise Frederickson

Good good perogies lemme tell you that!!

Gordon Foy

Great food and just the right amount.

Nyman SC

The Slap Down is worth going out of your way for! It’s an excellent grilled cheese and perogy sandwich. Definitely one of the best spots to eat in Nanaimo.

Cherry Cordial

Super friendly lady. Yummy good perogies and a few different styles.. Delish

Lily Koha

Great homemade perogies. We also had the perogie grilled cheese sandwich, which is as good as it sounds!

Serge Drouin

Stopped in for lunch. Service quick as a drive thru and much better food. Very friendly.

Matthew Shannon

Great-tasting food. Eating here is a real treat. Staff is friendly. I look forward to every trip and wish I could go more.

Clint Meno

Great portion sizes and the food was amazing. The compostable cutlery was nice to see as well. I highly recommend eating here I had the food delivered so I can only imagine it would be even better in the restaurant.

Cameron Zaharuk

Amazing perogies. Everything I have tried is delicious.

Eli Law

Hungry Rooster was a delightful surprise to find here in Nanaimo, BC. My Grandmother used to make everything they do and I must say that tasting their food takes me back to my childhood in a wonderful way. They also put a modern spin on these old classic dishes, which is something I always love to see. They do mostly take out business, but you can eat there. They also have a well stocked freezer full of all sorts of perogies and yummy vegetable borscht to take home and enjoy later. It is run by very nice people and is reasonably priced for good, solid homemade Polish awesomeness.

Scott Money

Drove up from Victoria just to have perogies and slaw! I grew up in a Ukrainian community and eating here is like going home again!
