My meal was okay. I had the pulled pork plate. The pork really wasn’t warm enough, but it was very tender, slightly sweet, and juicy. The mild BBQ sauce has a bit of heat but my spice tolerance isn’t great, sadly. This was at about my limit. But it was served on the side, so it was fine.
The coleslaw was very fresh; it’s clear they make it in house, right down to chopping fresh cabbage for it. It was very simple, but still tasty. The macaroni salad was okay, though my husband really liked it, and I readily admit I’m particular with macaroni salad in general.
So, about the pie, which, let’s face it, is really what brings people to a place called Pie Town. He had the “world’s best Key lime,” which is possibly his favorite kind of pie. He said it was good, but certainly not the best he’s had, and based on the bite that I had, I would agree. However, to be fair, the pie was fresh out of the freezer, and I do suspect it would have been better not frozen (we knew it was frozen – they were perfectly up front about it).
I had the German chocolate, and it pains me to write this because again, the people were all super nice, but it was terrible. The chocolate filling was too thick, maybe? It had a consistency that was too much like Jello, where I wanted something creamier. But even the flavor just wasn’t there. The coconut topping was much better, but still not anything special. But the major flaw was one that is simply not acceptable where pie is concerned, and that the crust. I’ve had far better crust from supermarket pies.
It was too blonde (and honestly, looking at all of the pies in the display, I was worried about that, but looks can be deceiving with pie), which made it chewy (I found it hard to even get my fork through it), but it was also just flavorless. I didn’t finish it.
Bottom line, the service was good, the people were lovely, the atmosphere is interesting, though not as clean as I might like (though the restroom was lovely and very clean), and apparently the burrito is kickass. If you find yourself in need of lunch in Pie Town, you’ll get at least an adequate one here. But Pie-O-Neer is where you want to get your pie. Oh, but get your lemonade from here. Pie-O-Neer’s lemonade is weak, and the lemonade here was really good.
Thanks soo much for being a Lil spot of happy on the road
Oh, and French fries….freshly fried potatoes! Soo good!
Very friendly people.
There was life music.
The food was great. Make sure to leave room for desert.
Absolutely loved this place. Food was wonderful. I had brisket with smoked veggies. So tasty and very large portions. Finished with a piece of key lime pie which was also outstanding.
Highly recommend stopping here. Owners and staff are so helpful and as mentioned, food is terrific.
Whenever I travel through Pie Town this will be my go-to place from now on.
