Heaps Pies is the place to go to try New Zealand meat (or veggie) pies. I got the steak and…read moremushroom one, as suggested by the hostess, and it was delicious. The pies are about $12-13 each and they're very filling. The flavors are strong and tasty, and I would gladly go back again to try another one. The place itself is spacious with both indoor and outdoor seating. There's plenty of parking in the lot outside as well. Big shoutout to the girl working there. I wish I knew her name but she is so bubbly and kind and I really appreciated talking to her for the brief moment that we did. Great workers like that are rare to come by!

So I kinda love Heaps…read more Heaps specializes in savory NZ-style pies. Since they really focus on the pie thing, they do it very well. I wish there were more restaurants that did this in America. Limit your menu size to the things you're the best at doing! The pies are incredibly flavorful and deceptively filling. They do rotating special pies that are always fun to try. And the people that work there are pleasant and inviting. Heaps is the spot!

I typically use chocolate chip cookies as a staple to assess the overall quality of ingredients. I actually have to say I DISLIKED the chocolate chip cookie-- shocking. I think they use cheap chocolate (specifically milk) when (call me biased) I think it should be sparing uses of dark chocolate. Lastly, I ordered a DELISH Fig and Brown Butter Muffin. Sooo unique, but I KID YOU NOT there was a quarter-sized pieces of plastic baked into it. I chewed it before realizing and (thank god) spitting it out, but now I have a paranoia that I ate some.

Everything is well curated, clean, and you can tell they actually care about what they're putting out. Had the Little Ricky sandwich and yeah... that alone is worth the visit. Super well balanced, fresh ingredients, and not overcomplicated--just done right. One of those sandwiches you keep thinking about after you leave. Also love the vibe--laid back, friendly, and easy to just stop in, grab something good, and go. Definitely a spot I'll keep coming back to.

But every now and then, a savory pastry catches my eye, like the confit tomato & pesto bun. They also have a brunch/lunch menu with fun items like the braised beef sandwich or the egg melt. I love that they have comfortable indoor seating AND dog friendly! Definitely a gem in Avondale Estates!

The KFC sandwich was pretty terrible which is surprising given all the good reviews. The gochujang was WAY too sweet, it felt like we were eating candy on a sandwich. The chicken was so fatty that most of it was inedible. The burrito was fine this time but barely had any peppers or onions. The potatoes were crispy but it was mostly just crispy skin and no actual potatoes. Maybe it was a one off day but based on the food, it's hard to say if we'll go back.

The smell was so bad I stepped outside while my husband waited for our sandwiches. At this point I was already regretting the order. We took it to go. My sandwich was sloppy and not well executed. My husband got a Ruben and was surprised that the meat was chopped and not sliced like a typical Ruben. It wasn't inedible but not good. The menu items seem appealing but the deli misses the mark.
