| - Loved this little unpretentious, family owned place! The prices are very reasonable, the food is great, and the service is friendly, fast, and attentive. They don't serve prefab food like a chain restaurant. Karen (the owner and cook) has an excellent instinct for the little subtleties and nuances that make food tasty and satisfying. They are especially well known for their handmade Polish perogies, available frozen for take home or cooked up and served right there, made from scratch from an heirloom family recipe. Karen (the owner and cook) handmakes these tasty little clouds of goodness just the way her mom, Carol from Poland, did it. Let me tell you they are AWESOME. That's why they practically fly out the door, because they are THAT good. My husband particularly loves the homemade biscuit with sausage gravy. The potatoes are REAL potatoes, not reheated frozen stuff. And to top it off, when you walk in, you're treated like they are happy to see you. A special shout out to Mike, Karen's son and waiter, who is just as friendly and attentive as can be.
The thing is, I eat out a lot. I spent years traveling all over the country and many parts of the world, so I've eaten in a lot of places. When I went into this place, I was really touched by how their food is prepared. I was so impressed, within a half hour I knew all their names and why it was so good. You can really taste the love and pride of heritage in those perogies. Stownut Donut is the complete package: good food, homey atmosphere, friendly and professional service, kid friendly, and the price is right.
UPDATE: When this review was first posted, the biscuit had been served each time we ordered it with a traditional savory cream gravy and it was great. Well, things have changed. We returned in August 2014 and ordered the same thing again, but this time it was radically different from before; the gravy was watery and revoltingly sweet, not at all a traditional sausage cream gravy. The diner took it off the bill for us, which we appreciated. When I asked Karen, the owner and cook, about it, she adamantly asserted that the cloying super sweetness was the natural result of heating good cream. Listen to me, Karen. No. A thousand times, No. That's not correct and every cook knows that, and I think you do, too. If that were true, then every freshly made Alfredo sauce would turn out as super sweet as that gravy. So, diners, they still have friendly service and great perogies. If you like the change to super sweet sausage gravy, then you'll be happy. If not, then I suggest you try another place. Sorry. Stownut Donut. Result: DEMOTION.
