Bad food, bad service, and owned by someone that assaults children. This place was a huge disappointment. I came in about six months ago and was greeted (if you can call it that) buy a short stout, stubby looking woman with a cemented on nasty look on her face. She didn't greet me. She just asked me what I wanted. No friendliness, kindness or warmth at all. I got a chicken pasty. And she rang me up without saying a word. right about that time a shorter petite woman maybe in her 60s came out who was very friendly and asked if she had even offered me any of their Cravy sauce to go on it (which she hadn't). This conversation went on in the back and she just said "she didn't want any" which was a lie. I left. The pasty was dry and unflavored full. I might have given them another chance at the time at the service hadn't have been so uncomfortable and rude but the food really was not good at all. Anyway, I thought I would leave my review since it is currently come out that the owner is facing assault charges on a minor. So do with that what you will if you want to support this business after that. read more

So I've never had a pasty before, but the food I had here was good. We got a Cousin Jack (traditional Cornish style) and a Pot Roast. I liked them both but the pot roast pasty was more my style. The pastry itself is an unusual mix of both doughy and crispy, but it works. The veggies inside were not overcooked either. Worth a try! read more

As a Brit in America, I crave good ole British food. If you are looking for an AUTHENTIC tasting pasty, then this is the place to go! Bloody delicious! Super hot. Plenty of good quality filling, and the pastry was on point. Wish I lived closer as I'd be in there every week! The pasty was huge too. I shared one with hubby and we were stuffed. Owner/baker was lovely. And the kids behind the counter were super polite! Overall: YOU GOTTA GO read more

Was excited to hear that a new pasty place had opened in the old location for cousin Jacks. I read in reviews that they were different than Jacks but tasty. Unfortunately, our experience was not great. As far as customer service goes, the guys running the place seemed really busy and haphazardly asked for our order. When I mentioned something about Cousin Jack's, they made a point of saying here that they were definitely different. Indeed, they are. We ordered two cousin jacks, one chicken, and one ham and cheese. The cousin jacks pasty was dry with mostly big chunks of potatoes, some skirt steak and that's about it. It was very under seasoned, and even after vinegar and salt it still lacked the flavor I was hoping for. The chicken was flavorful with a heavy mushroom flavor. The ham and cheese was good, but my son said he wished it had more ham as it was mostly potatoes. All three had pockets of raw dough. As somebody who grew up in grass Valley, and had plenty of pasties, growing up from Cousin, Jack's, Marshalls, or way back in the day double bees, I was sad that this was my experience, as I always like to grab one when I visit the area. Maybe we happened to get a bad batch. I hope so. Lastly, for four pasties we payed $62. Quite a hefty price for a lot of potatoes. I usually only leave positive reviews but wanted to provide some honest feedback for those who are used to traditional pasties in the area. read more

I was very underwhelmed. The "Ham and Cheese" pie was mostly undercooked potatoes. The Chicken pie was a bit better but still more mushrooms than chicken. Both pies had chunks of raw dough in them. Having heard that Grass Valley was supposedly famous for their pies this was very dissatisfying especially at $15 / pie. read more

Dropped in during the rain yesterday and completely enjoyed the classic pasty. As a youpper when you know you know! Ian and Lisa. read more

Grass Valley Pasty - Last bites! - American Near Me - Grass Valley, California

Stumbled onto goodness! Hearty meat filled pastry shop (they do have a veggie option). The menu is small but the portion and tasty are big! Love the Ham and Cheese. The Pulled Pork and Chicken will be devoured by tomorrow. The guys in the shop were very friendly and helpful. Shop seems to be very popular for walk in and pick up. There is some seating outside. The corner location and across the street from a parking lot, this is an easy place to visit. And if you are near by, you should often. read more

This place makes the best pasties! Having grown up in the UK, I have eaten my fair share of Cornish Pasties. The cousin jack outdoes them all, and I keep coming back for more. The pulled pork pasty is another standout, and we always buy extras to have in the fridge for when the craving hits! read more

The pasty was fantastic. The place doesn't have a seating area, so be prepared to take your order to-go. However, that is a minor concern. The place is a must if you're in the area. Super friendly customer service and a fresh and heart pasty product. They have about 7 flavor options-- they even had a vegetable options. So vegetarians are also considered and have an option to eat here. It's located amongst a street full of local shoppes. So make an afternoon out of your visit. We went to the Empire Mine State Park and the blacksmith at the park recommend a pasty, as this is more than likely what the miners ate, as many of the miners were Cornish. So we tried for the whole experience. I'm sure these pasty's are much more hearty and better quality than what the miners ate, as with any artisan version of a food. In the words of Tiny-The Tiger "THEY'RE GREAT"! read more

The pasties here are a bit extra but definitely in a positive way! Portions are large that you could split it in half and share with someone or save the rest for yourself later, lol. But what makes these pasties memorable are the combination of flavors and using quality ingredients including a soft flaky crust! The chicken pasty is SO GOOD and packed with tender diced chicken, mushrooms, spinach, onion, and cheese -- it was like eating a rich chicken pot pie, especially right out of the oven. Cousin Jack pasty was pretty delicious as well; perfectly-seasoned tender skirt steak, packed evenly with potatoes. The shop is clean and exceptional customer service by the owner and staff. They were all friendly and very helpful with recommendations. Will absolutely return to try the rest of the menu out! read more

My first time here and they served up an excellent and tasty pasty. I reheated in my oven at home and was great. Not your traditional pasty flavors and so delicious. I had the chicken which included a yummy light gravy, mushrooms and spinach. It tasted like a moist and delicate chicken dish. The pastry was flaky and delectable as well. read more

Was the old fan of cousin Jack's. I've been to this location several times since. And the quality of the product is deteriorating overtime. The traditional pastie has no meat. It's basically a potato pastie. The crust has no salt or flavor and is dry. I am very disappointed. I wish they would survive. And their prices are high, but I don't care for quality product. read more

I traveled 900 miles to get some frozen pasties to take home. I grew up eating them and I'm happy to have a place that still makes them with excellent quality. read more

Amazing pasties. Hot, fresh, hearty food. The spot down the street doesn't even BEGIN to compare.

We absolutely love getting pasties from here. Always so fresh, warm and big. My sons beg to stop here first when we get to downtown. The father and son (I'm assuming) are so kind and accommodating. You feel at home when you walk in. Definitely recommend tasting a piece of history here! Delicious! read more

Ok, I'll admit it, I'm a pasty snob! I found the pastys here just a potatoe filled dough pocket. The meat, seriously, was almost non existent. I picked out the meat and found it tasty but barely there. Decomposing the pasty found 85% potatoes. No veggies. Mashed meat, that's all. I've had Cornish pastys by the hundreds and these were terrible. Won't share this place with my brit family read more

I haven't bought a pastie in about 10 years. I think this place has changed hands. These pasties are bigger, flakier and already hot in the oven. I had the Vegetable pastie last week. They have added cheese to it. Though tasty I'd prefer no cheese. Today when ordering a pastie I ask if they had a no cheese version. The guy said if I called a day ahead they could do that for me. That was good to know! I got the ham and cheese pastie today and it had big cubes of ham. I really liked it. The pasties are so big they are 2 servings for this lady. read more

Love at first bite! We have been driving up to Grass Valley from Marysville to get these amazing pasties since they opened! From the crust, to the fillings, they are amazingly delicious! We have tried almost every pasty that they make and we have never been disappointed! Each pasty is big enough for two people, (or one person with a huge appetite!) and they really are worth every dollar that they cost! The last time I was there, I bought a dozen of them, putting several in my freezer, to thaw and reheat in my air fryer toaster oven; they reheat very well. We haven't bought any pasties anywhere else since Grass Valley Pasty Co opened, as they are "The World's Greatest Pasties!" read more

Oh my goodness this is soo good! Walking around town we spotted this establishment- didn't look that impressive on the street but once inside and saw the people and production of the pasties being made, we were sold! Fresh out of the oven the meat pies are steaming hot, flavorful, flaky crust melt in your mouth delicious! The man who took my order was polite and professional asking e if this was my first time having one which I said yes; hearing that grass valley is known for their Cornish history. We tried the pot roast and chicken pasties- rave reviews! Devoured them in the car driving back to Auburn definitely would recommend and will be returning! read more

This is a very small spot with no seating inside or out -but don't sleep on the pasties! They are so good - freshly made and they get the filling to crust ration perfectly. The fillings are well seasoned and just juicy enough but don't make the crust soggy. They guys who work there are usually making pasties as you order so you can see how the magic happens. read more

Vegetarian pasties, better than my grandma used to make. Get them hot from the oven on the way back from Tahoe, they'll hold til you are ready for dinner when you get home (in the Bay Area, for me!). Always a line but it moves quickly. read more

Well, we were in Grass Valley and I wanted to get Pasty's and we called and no answer. You should have an answering machine! Then we drive by and a sign said you were "Out of town" 6/13 - 6/23. It was 7/21. We were very disappointed. Make sure people know. We made a special trip there. read more

This gives you an authentic feeling as if you were in old town grass valley in during the gold rush. I can say it's kind fun if you pick up a pasty and take it to the gold mines and feel the authentic feeling of what miners had eaten after a hard day of work. I was extremely full so if you are a lite eater you might want to split it or save it for later, although you might not want to share. read more

Grass Valley Pasty - Chicken pasty with spinach and mushrooms and cheese and everything yummy - American Near Me - Grass Valley, California

Been eating pasties for years, and after loving then at Marshall's and cousin jacks decided to give these a try. So disappointing. I got the chicken and pot roast, almost triple the price of Marshall's beef pasties. The pot roast was shredded and practically non existent, and the entire thing mostly consisted of undercooked red potatoes. I took three bites and had enough of the underseasoned mush. Then the chicken flavor and filling was little better but very much lacking in salt and the dough was still raw and gummy so I could only take a bite without driving it home and putting it in the oven to fully cook. Overall not somewhere I would ever recommend, if you want a good pastie try Marshall's or robinson's as there pasties are significantly less expensive and taste way better! read more

Many MANY years ago my parents would drive us up to Grass Valley and we'd stop for delicious pasties while we were there. It's been a long time since I've had a good authentic Cornish pasty and this place did not disappoint. Their pasties are huge and bursting with simple filling of steak, potatoes, onion and parsley tucked into a flaky dough and baked to perfection. They serve many different variations of fillings, and even though I don't eat beef anymore* I made an exception and am so glad I did. The shop was super busy when we got there and they were out of the Cornish pasties but they graciously accommodated us - after a short walk around Mill Street we came back to our tasty treats right out of the oven. They stayed piping hot all the way to the Fairgrounds. Excellent customer service and great fare. I would not hesitate to eat here again. *only exceptions to no beef rule is maybe once a year In n Out burger and even less frequent, carne asada burrito at La Cumbre. read more

delish hot and fresh pasties!!! I loved the chicken mushroom pasties and the potato beef one filled with an aroma and flavor explosion,,, yummerlicious read more

Very different from Cousin Jacks, but a very welcome surprise Ordered ahead for two Pasites to go. The food was ready when we arrived and the people working behind the counter were friendly and helpful. The restaurant has a very clean, open and updated look. I love open kitchen designs. You could see how fresh everything looked. The smell of the shop is amazing as well. Both meals were wonderful and filling. Loved the slight crunch of turnips in my Cousin Jack, and the meat was flavorful and great in texture. They also have a cooler with different sodas and water, and preserves for sale. I have family in the area and the old Cousin Jacks was always a tradition during a trip. I'm looking forward to making this a new one! read more

Our family has been making pastys for many years and Grass Vally Pasty is the best. Boy wish they were closer to Lincoln.

Super nice people. Super delicious food. Highly recommend. I'll definitely go back next time I'm in town,

Their pasty is tastier than than the competitor a few blocks away and they accept credit/debit cards. As for the pasty, all they offer are good except EXCEPT for Cousin Jack. It's basically 90% potato. If the beef is expensive, add more by using ground beef instead. I won't blame you if you give them 1 or 2 stars because of Cousin Jack pasty. The best and our family favorite is pulled pork and chicken. Another plus is how they are well organized. Packages are pre-labeled instead of writing with a pen or sharpie later. Also, No Microwaving. All pasties are oven baked. Free 3 hr parking is also conveniently across the store. read more

Don't sleep on this place. Abundant pasty's, kind & accommodating staff and amazing value for seriously tasty food.

The pastry was amazing. But I was not happy with the chucks of food vs shredded. I would have enjoyed it more if it was evenly distributed with veggies/carb and meat and sauce. I got the cousin jacks and their special. Not a local but if I was, perhaps the pork and chicken would have had more sauce. read more

Walked around the Downtown Grass Valley Car Show earlier today and decided we needed a fulfilling lunch. Jesse and his crew at Grass Valley Pasty totally hooked us up. Delicious. Stuffed. Heavy.

The very best! I felt like I walked into England 100 years ago. The best atmosphere for this delicacy. My husband and I split the pot roast- heavenly! It was hot, fresh and HUGE! You may want to split if you're older like us. The workers- owners? were sooo friendly. Loved loved loved! read more
