Pierogi-making runs in the family for Andy Ruszczyk, who is
now bringing a few of his grandmother’s recipes to the West Side. Ru’s Pierogi,
a restaurant at 295 Niagara St., opened last month, complete with a bar and a
food truck. Ruszczyk plans on using the restaurant's large-scale kitchen in the
back to produce pierogi and distribute along
the East Coast. The restaurant, managed by Rob Rush, is one of the only places
on the West Side specializing in pierogi and other Polish favorites. Customers
enter a laid-back atmosphere where they can dine in or take their orders to go.
While waiting for orders, customers can watch their food being made. Ru’s is
open 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. on
Friday and Saturday. By Dave DeLuca and Patrick Koster
