My first pies here were rough on my tummy, but that was a me thing. I have continued to stop by throughout the years and I can surely say I have to update my review to clarify that the waltzing kangaroo is worth a try. When I was pregnant many years ago I would stop in for a pie and buy a batch of frozens for an easy postpartum meal. You might find yourself eyeing some to take home, too. read more

I'm shocked FoCo has a pie shop, just like in Hawaii! You can find savory pies of all sorts. Tonight we're trying out the Guinness Steak and Mushroom Pie and the Lamb Pie. On my list to try is their Chicken Pot Pie and the Shepard Pie. I looooove hand pies and I'm so excited to have come across Waltzing Kangaroo. You can dine in, add on their mash and/or peas to make it a full meal. Not pictured: A baked sausage roll. $6 of flakey goodness. It wasn't my favorite and tasted more like sausage stuffing. There was no sausage texture whatsoever, but tons of warming spices and was delicious. Personally I'll pay the extra $4 for another pie. read more

The pies are amazing! We drove an hour and stocked up for the US v Australia game tomorrow and had to have lunch. Worth the drive!!!

What an amazing find while on a short excursion to Fort Collins. I can't say I've had much Australian food, but these hand pies were absolutely divine with flakey crusts and incredible filling. If you're a fan of savory, this will be your jam. We tried the Steak Cheese and Bacon, the Lamb Rosemary, and the Guinness Steak Mushroom pies along with a sausage roll, profiterole, and apple turnover. The pies are worth every bite. The meat is tender, juicy, and flavorful inside each pie. Seasoning was perfect. The pies were beautifully baked to perfection with just the right amount of butter. Of the three I tried the Lamb Rosemary was my favorite because the meat was sensational good with light hints of rosemary. The sausage roll and the profiterole were ok but nothing to write home about. Loved the apple turnover though! I would go for the pies and skip dessert next go around. But this is a place to repeat. The cool part is they also have pies you can buy to bake at home and they ship pies across the USA. The food is affordable and super satisfying. Seating is limited inside. They have one long table that could accommodate two groups. There's also bar stool seating along the window as well as a few outside tables. Has a modern vibe inside. Girl who took our order was very professional. This place is crazy clean down to the bathrooms. And you know I love a clean restaurant. Best of all the name...The Waltzing Kangaroo. I mean who wouldn't want to try a restaurant with such a fun name? The shopping center doesn't have a ton of parking but we lucked out and found a spot. I guess we were meant to eat here and we will absolutely repeat next time we are back up this way! read more

My spouse and I went to Waltzing Kangaroo a few days ago for the first time and it lived up to the hype. I got a veggie cheese pie. My spouse originally wanted something that was out and got a rosemary lamb pie instead. Both pies were GREAT! My spouse was concerned that the rosemary would be too much but it wasn't; I tried some of the lamb and it was so tender. My pie was excellent, too; the potatoes were soft, the gravy reminded me of chicken pot pie without the chicken. The crust was flaky and crispy, the flavors were great. I also got a chai latte which was good too and my spouse got a bottled rootbeer. Service was prompt and friendly. We definitely hope to be back. read more

I love their pies here! 2 months ago I got one of each of their pies to go, and they were so good that I forgot to take pics of them before devouring. This time, I just got the Beef Stroganoff and a latte before work. Very tasty, with a crust that's always flaky. Will have to come here more often to try their various recipes. Even though they serves savory pies, the place gives off a cafe feel. Just a bunch of stools with small 2 seated tables outside. The cashier was the barista, and she was very great. read more

I once worked in a large pie making factory. What I saw there put me off pies for a long time. Forward many years and I discovered waltzing kangaroo and their frozen pies. Out of this world gorgeous. Their secret is really simple. High quality ingredients and great customer service. In 2 years of using them I have never had a piece of bone, fat or gristle in a pie just wonderful, flavorful lean meat combined with great gravy and a perfect pie crust. Communication about my order is also flawless and I have never had to chase anything up. Long may they continue to work their piecraft magic. read more

I adore this place. I don't mean to jump the gun, but if I were a local, I'd come here often. The pastries are fantastic; I love the sausage roll. The pies were flakey and flavorful, sadly I only got to try one during my stay, but I hope to come back given the chance. But nonetheless the pie with the steak was nice and savory, which makes me want to try them all. I also got one of their profiteroles and it was the perfect and not overly sweet and airy. I tried a few bites, seeing how the pastries and pie filled me up, but when I finished it later, that dessert held its own. Anyways, I came on the wrong day, let me tell you that. Do not go when there is a big event such as a football game because you will exhaust yourself through parking finding. The parking isn't super small, but it isn't big either, some days can be way busier than others. The staff here were nice and helpful when telling me what the recent popular pies were, they do have new ones now and again. They also sell frozen ones you can bring home and enjoy when the time strikes. read more

Service was friendly Ambiance was ok the seating is a little weird, but happy that you have the option to sit - just don't stay long as the seats are super low except for the ones by the window Food idk I thought it was just ok ‍ but others might love it. I just enjoy very flavorful foods and these ones felt very mild in flavor. Just my personal opinion. the crust is the best part. Super buttery and flaky! Chicken and cheese was our least favorite. It tasted very plain. The least flavorful of them all. I'd skip this unless you want a very mild taste. Lamb and rosemary was my fave. Tons of flavor. Steak and pepper was good. Shepherd pie tasted like you'd expect. It was nice to try and I'd recommend people try it at least once, but for me personally I won't be craving to come back anytime soon. read more

This place is still serving warm, tasty pies! I love the vibe, too--some people are in for their regular cold pies (to go), others are grabbing hot pies (to go), and there's the little seating bar for those who want to eat a hot pie (right now). The chicken and broccoli was the flavor of the month, so I tried it out. It was awesome. Warm, savory, and stuffed with fillings, that flaky pastry was complemented perfectly. I also tried out the apple turnover. It was great--sweet but not overly so, it also carried a wholesome feel. I guess that's because the Kangaroo makes everything fresh in-house. So good. read more

Very good take out place for a quick meal. Think a variety of chicken pot pie type dishes.

Perfect lunch size. I had the turkey cranberry and brie was very flavorful. My wife had the steak bacon and cheese.

Freaking delicious! So good. It's a perfect blend of your best pastry crust and savory meats and fillings. If we lived here I know this would be one of our go-to-spots. It is really good. We ordered their limited "Beef and vegetable Pasty". This place is good... read more

Used to be really good... hadn't had it in a really long time ordered it tonight and the mashed potatoes had massive lumps in it. The peas weren't really seasoned very well. The sausage roll was undercooked and I got the wrong pie. For such a high cost on the delivery app I was hoping for better. read more

The Waltzing Kangaroo is definitely one of those local spots I really hope to see make it through the pandemic - their quiches are the best I have ever had and their savory Australian pies are a lunchtime favorite of mine. I'm happy to say that I'm pretty confident that they will survive based upon some shrewd business decisions they have made. Let's start with how they handled the early days of the pandemic -- they closed. For 2 months. When they reopened, they had installed plexiglass barriers between the server and patron, and were open for very limited hours. They are open more regular hours now, but have installed freezers for grab & go frozen pies, and have developed an online business to ship frozen pies across the US. I love how they have turned the disruptive early days of COVID-19 into a business opportunity that will continue to pay dividends long after we are on the other side of the regular lockdowns and shifting public health policies. It's great being able to stock my freezer with their pies, which I tend to do when their "pie of the month" is a particular fave. I just had my last turkey cranberry brie - November's pie of the month - for lunch, and then swung by after work to pick up some green chile pork (January) and Thai green curry chicken (February) pies to stock the freezer back up. They are a business I do not think twice about supporting, since their no-drama response to the COVID-19 challenges gives me confidence that they are minimizing transmission risks. I do miss the "normal times," when they had a few other things on the menu (quiche! mashed sweet potatoes!) and there was time to linger over a perfectly pulled flat white, but we'll get there in the not-too-distant future and I'm sure Waltzing Kangaroo will still be with us. read more

Waltzing Kangaroo - My work from home lunch - the last of my frozen WK pies and some farm share veg ... gotta go back soon to restock the freezer! - Bakeries Near Me - Fort Collins, Colorado

Saturday 12:40. 12 cars waiting for a miracle in a small parking lot (60-ish spaces), blocking through traffic. We drove over an hour from Arvada looking forward for weeks to a wonderful meat pie. NOPE. NO PARKING. NEARBY OTHER LOTS ARE PERMITTED. We brought a cooler to take some frozen ones home. NOPE! Will never return. HINT: There is an alley behind the building you can use to escape the parking lot before getting trapped if you enter the lot from Broadway. Turning in from Shields immediately after Subway leads you to the center of the mess! You've been warned read more

When out of town, I am a real pain and insist on dining only at places I cannot normally patronize (that means no chains EVER), and hopefully with a style of food not available in my hometown. Searching for a quick lunch in Fort Collins and seeing Australian food, I immediately set my heart on Waltzing Kangaroo 'cause Australian food isn't all that common. The shopping center in which WK is located is kind of wonky, with one way entrances and exits, and limited parking. We ended up passing it, driving around the block, and almost missing it a second time. Whew! Just be on alert! We entered to a bit of a line, but it moved so fast because everything is truly ready! It is all under heat lamps, but still fresh, and the longest part of the process was customers making their decision. I think, as of late, WK may have limited their selections a smidge, but we had about six or so choices of pies (they have standards and a monthly special ($8 each or less), plus sausage rolls ($4.60) , and sides (mushy peas, mashed potatoes, gravy $3.50 or less). There were also profiteroles, and a variety of coffee-based beverages, tea, hot chocolate, and soft drinks. Currently, no seating inside, but they did have a couple bistro tables out front. The meat pies are lovely: buttery and flaky and so rich! I could not finish my veg and cheese. On the other hand, my husband downed both the beef stroganoff pie and most of a sausage roll (with a loose ground sausage filling, not cased). We were on the go, and the pie is so solid it was surprisingly easy to eat in the car, though you will drop flakes of crust all over. #worthit Now, Imma just be real with you. As good as the pies were (and they were really, really good), I could take 'em or leave 'em compared with the MUSHY PEAS! I had considered a double order, and then when I opened my box, found the serving so large I was glad I didn't go through with that...but then I munched them all up and would have easily consumed a lunch of peas alone! They are so creamy, not too smooth with a pleasing texture, and this sort of meaty/super savory flavor. I have tried to replicate them at home, but to no avail. Waltzing Kangaroo, if you are reading this, please share the recipe so I can go on living happily. Fort Collins had many good-looking options, but I am so happy we went with Waltzing Kangaroo. If I have the chance, I will absolutely return. Oh! And they sell their wares frozen, and they can even be shipped! read more

I forgot to take a picture but I will next time. Our friends invited us over to watch Lord of the Rings and have some Waltzing Kangaroo pies... so delicious! I had the veggie and it was just perfect. Crust, soft and buttery with a light crisp. The inside was creamy and full of flavor. My daughter had the same thing and loved it too. Mashed potatoes and gravy were delightful! Hubby had the shepard's pie and he thought it was delicious and reminded him of his grandma's shepard's pie. I wanted to go back tonight and grab some but I see they are closing soon so I'll come again soon. I can't review the service or ambiance because we are at our friend's house. read more

I am giving them 5 stars for the frozen pies I brought home to cook myself! This food is simply delicious. They provide instructions for cooking in an air fryer which is really nice. I might start buying 3-4 per week now! read more

A very nice cozy location in a Fort Collins strip mall, near the CSU campus. We went in and were greeted by a very friendly staff. They were very knowledgeable about the various pies and other delectable items. I had the chicken pot pie, my daughter had the Guinness beef pie and her SO had the Pea Madras curry pie. The unanimous feeling can be summed up in one word.... DELICIOUS!! Initially when I saw the lie, I thought one would never be enough.... WRONG!! The one pie was very nice and filling. I am looking forward to returning again when I bring my daughter back to CSU. In the meantime I will be trying their pie shipping service to enjoy these yummy treats right at home! read more

This place is amazing and it was the perfect lunch spot for a cold day in Fort Collins. Their hand pies are the perfect lunch sized and the pastry is superbly made - so beautifully flaky and buttery and exactly how it should be. They're warm and perfect during a cold afternoon. They're also a very good size and I'm so sad that we were way too full after eating our pies that we had no room for dessert since their dessert selection looked very appetizing as well! We tried the lamb and rosemary and also their monthly special which was beef and French onion - both were very flavorful. I'd only recommend the lamb to those people who really like lamb, because it sure is lamb-y, and in my opinion - perfect! I'm a lamb lover though. If you're just trying it because it sounds interesting, it may not be for you. Lamb can be a very strong flavor and it isn't everyone's favorite. The beef and French onion flavor though was incredible, I mean, not possible to not like it! The filling was a great consistency for both and really complemented the crust. They also sell pre-made frozen pies to go! One downside is that there isn't much seating inside. There's a bat type area that fits about 5-6 people and two outside tables with two chairs each - it was a little too cold when we had our lunch so we opted to sit inside and thankfully there was room. Overall, we enjoyed our lunch at this cute spot and hope to come back someday to try different flavors and their desserts if we're ever around Fort Collins! read more

I love the meat pies I get here. I get a pile of Lammingtons when they come available and freeze them. It's not easy for me to get up here often, but I'm always thrilled when I make it. Parking is tight because it's right off CSU campus, but you won't be disappointed by the food. It's great!! read more

I was gifted a sampler one Christmas by my cousin who knew this family & wanted to support this family's business. This review is for the meat pies & sausage rolls . I'm an online customer, only having tasted these from home as I do not live near the store front. My experience has been excellent. The online order allows for select your own 12 or the curated sampler of 12. I love them all! It was love at first bite. They are great to have in hand. They store well in the freezer and I've just now placed my third order. If you are on the fence about trying these, do it! These meat pies are worthy of all the positive reviews. read more

The crust is a great balance of flaky and chewy. Bam! Spot on! read more

Really good small savory pies for a great price. If your looking for something filling, fast, and well priced, you can't really go wrong. PS. Their profiterole is amazing. Order: Lamb Rosemary Pie, Madras Chicken Curry Pie, Profiterole About: $22 Review: I have very limited experience with Australian food so I was excited to try something pretty new to my palate. The Waltzing Kangaroo is a fairly small store with only six or so seats inside and a handful outside. Their menu is almost exclusively savory pies with just a few desserts, one of which was a profiterole that was absolutely unbelievable. Maybe one of the best I've ever had. We grabbed the lamb and rosemary, and madras chicken curry pies and both were delicious. The lamb and rosemary was definitely a darker more rich pie while the madras chicken was a lighter almost creamy pie. We really love both of them though. Another really big advantage is that the food is incredibly quick. All the pies are premade so they just pull them as you order and hand them to you as you check out. It's super fast to get a very filling meal and honestly it's not very expensive. One other very cool thing that they do, if you are local to the area, is that they have a large selection of frozen pies that you could take home and reheat at a later time. If I lived anywhere near here I would absolutely keep several in my freezer for days I don't feel like cooking. We both really enjoyed the Walton Kangaroo and the only reason we won't be back soon is because we live in Florida. For anyone nearby I'd highly recommend it. read more

This place is always a yes! If you're looking for a hearty meal, especially on a cold day, this is it! The pies are perfectly sized and always incredibly tasty. (Their yellow curry pie is ) I recommend getting lunch there, try the tucker box with mushy peas and the mashed sweet potatoes! Only downside is there are only so many fresh pies every day, so if you go later they may not have a warm pie in the flavour you want. Bonus though: they now offer frozen pies! so you can heat them at home. read more

What a great little hole in the wall we discovered! This place has wraps made of puff pastry, and pot pies that are savory and hot. The prices are not bad and they serve dessert and coffee also. There was a steady stream of people coming and going while we were there. One thing we found strange is that they do not have any cream or half-and-half for their coffee. Not even powdered. They offered us milk and so we didn't buy any coffee. *** UPDATE! *** Since hearing from the owner today, I can add that they now have 1/2 and 1/2 for all the coffee with cream people! Now we can enjoy coffee with our deserts!! *** END UPDATE! *** And the only chocolate dessert they had ? it had coffee in it. Not a great choice. I had the Apple turn over which was only half filled with apples and had a strange smell. lots of whipped cream but smelled of meringue? I couldn't quite place my finger on it but it was different. Over all I would definitely recommend this place as a unique and interesting place to go. It has a lot of choices to choose from if you like pot pies or wraps. One thing I will say is that the prices are right and my beef pot pie was delicious and savory. read more
