    Strawberry/Raspberry Crunch
    Reggie E.

    Stopped in around 1pm to get some lunch. Dave was in his kitchen rolling out some crust for his 'award winning pies' (True by the way, but more on that in a bit). The atmosphere of the place is warm and worn. You're met with a case of delicious looking pies including Banana Cream, Key Lime, and Strawberry Cheesecake. Dave had asked what I was looking to get, "Pie or Food?", and started listing his recommended choices after I replied I was looking for a bite to eat. I settled for a BLT and cup of chili. Moments after ordering, out came my meal, steaming soup and all. Dave sat the plate down and said "You're gonna love this sandwich. This is what I do. Best in town!" And must I say he may very well have been correct with that statement. The applewood bacon, fresh tomatoes, and crunchy lettuce done up on Cranberry Wild Rice was a BLT done right. The Chili was warm and ready to go also. Before leaving I grabbed a slice of pie for the road (eating while typing this) which seemed like a mandatory finale when going to a restaurant with 'pie' in the name. Filling was tart and overall not too sugary, just the way I like fruit pies. I can see why he has won awards with some of these! Dave was a friendly guy to sit and chat with and loves to tell you about what he does best, which he treats as a passion more than a job. I'll for sure be going back for more.

    Passed by when randomly taking a walk. The front is decorated with ceramic pie dishes. You will not wonder what this establishment specializes. Dave is very friendly and he is proud of this family business. Not just for sweet tooth folks, he offers savory light lunch in the menu. I spent lovely weekend afternoon.

    Found at 3544 Grand Avenue and apparently letting both website and social media go to seed a while ago, the fact that phones also go unanswered an added chapter to "how to fail at customer service," it was with parking located nearby that Dave the Pie Guy was approached, a pull of the handle finding doors open though the space seemed uninhabited until a young woman emerged from the back. Listed as being open at 10:30am on weekdays and 8:30am on weekends, the lights off and doors locked at half-past-ten Saturday necessitating a second attempt on Sunday around 1:30pm, it was only after walking deeper into rustic confines that Dave himself was seen lining tins with dough, the current "selection" of just three pies, one cake and some cookies plus a few "too old to sell" slices leading one to wonder exactly how the place stays afloat. Debating a quick departure without purchase, Dave's "famous" French Silk not likely to be ready for three hours and his store a final stop en route to the airport, it was only the fact that Carrot Cake was one of the choices which necessitated an order, the Sweet Potato Pie a last minute $4 addition but not particularly noteworthy in comparison to versions tasted in the past. Taking the pair to go, a dine-in option actually not even offered as Slices were immediately placed in black Styrofoam, it was only after sitting down at the Gate that Carrot Cake was actually tasted, the thin layer of Cream Cheese Frosting surprisingly quite tangy and well-matched to bold spicing plus a moist sponge that makes one think Dave's might actually be good when its proprietor decides to show up on time for work.

    I am coming back here over and over and over again!!! Dave is such a sweetheart and so excited to tell you about anything and everything on the menu. The food... AMAZING!!! Hand crafted with love and care. It wasn't just a meal, but an experience. Thank you Dave!!!

    You're the Apple of my Pie.

    Quirky little place. Mind you, am a fan of quirky when it comes across as authentic. Luckily, this felt like the real deal to me: For starters, Dave himself sat down with hubby, me, and the kid to chat and show us a portfolio of his pie pics. He was especially proud of his limited reliance on sugar. I think he said that he uses just 1/3 cup for most of his pies, though don't quote me. Since I am the self-anointed Queen of low sugar everything, I was impressed. As for the space, hubby sums it up pretty well: "It's got a homey, worn look that makes it seem like it's been around forever." 'Seem' is the operative word. Apparently, it opened just a couple years ago. Alright, already! How was the pie??? Well, we shared a slice of Apple Crumb and a slice of Chocolate French Silk. Enjoyed them both a lot, but something held me back from outright love. Definitely better than good, though, and someplace I could see myself frequenting if I were a local. Bottom line: If you often catch yourself kvetching about the cloying sweetness of typical desserts (who, me?) this is your spot.

    Wow! This pie was amazing. I literally had two slices in a night. I never really am a fan of key lime pie but this was the only type left on NYE. I'm so glad I tried a flavor I'm not used to! It was so creamy and delicious! Can't wait to try other pie flavors in the future. The key lime taste was not over powering like some. The smooth texture made it so enjoyable to eat.

    I was excited to try out the Pie Guy. But when I arrived they were closed. The sign says 10:30 as an opening time, NOPE!!! No lights, no movement =NO PIE FOR ME!!! It would have been nice to spend my money locally but not at this place! I read the reviews and see it's a normal problem. Funny, as I sit in my car parked exactly in front there has not been another failed attempt by any other potential patrons. Obviously I did not receive the memo. I won't bother to try again as i try not to make the same mistake twice in life. SO LONG PIE GUY/LOSER.‍‍

The restaurant is quite large and super cute. We were greeted and seated right away. The walls have fun little things written in chalk and it is very bright and cheery inside. We received the menu and waited a bit before our order was taken. We did not need to wait long for our food to arrive. My daughter and I ordered the same thing with slight variations--Two Eggs, Potatoes, and Toast. I chose the Hen Potatoes which were amazing! Tender on the inside and slightly crisp on the outside--not greasy at all. My daughter had the hash browns, which were just as good--not greasy, but perfectly crisp and flavorful. The seven grain toast and jam were great and our scrambled eggs were cooked just how we like. My daughter also ordered a fruit cup, which was filled with a bigger variety of fruit than she expected and she loved it. I ordered a side of bacon and it was delicious. While the food wowed us, our service was just okay. She was polite enough, but did not check on us until we were well into our meal. Thankfully, we didn't need anything. Our check and my payment were dealt with promptly, which we appreciated. We also ordered a caramel roll to go and were very glad we did. Super tasty and not overly sweet. If you are in the area, stop in. You will not regret it. The prices are higher, but it is worth every penny. We will definitely be returning when we are in the area.

Light and tasty and they have "MN maple" which was delicious. I will come back again and try a Mexican breakfast burrito. I feel like that is going to be my go to. Counter service was excellent.

Especially the Bellecour restaurant, the desserts there are 1000x better than the days tasting old crap that is served here at SnS. The interior is gorgeous, however, the entire establishment is a 0/10. I would not recommend this place to anyone. What an embarrassment this place is serving bad food to patrons. I recommend spending money at Porzana, Bar La Grassa, Bellecour... anywhere but here. This place is a joke for food. So embarrassing!
