| - Decadence on a dish. You could go for a meal, but I wouldn't suggest it; you don't want to fill up too much before you hit the pie. Honestly, the pie is sufficient to be a meal in itself.... Or more precisely, a slice of pie could be my only meal of the day. It's that rich. Good, but rich. Super, super rich.
The cheesecake pies in particular are incredible. They usually consist of a cookie crust filled with a thick, cheesecake-like custard chock full of peanut butter, chocolate, candy bars, caramel, etc. They custard is topped with thick clouds of whipping cream then garnishes with more "extras". The whole thing stands about 4-5" high and is a fearful meal to tackle. I've never made it through an entire one.
The lemon meringue pie is also decent. The filling is a little too sweet for my tastes; I was looking for something a bit more tart to contrast the airy, sugary meringue that floats on top. I've had better, but I've also had much worse. I haven't yet tried the fruit pies, but I've heard rave reviews.
The service is so-so. We were seated quickly when we arrived, but it took a very long time for the waitress to come and take our order. Also, after being served, we didn't see the waitress until we hailed someone for the check. I could have used about 5 glasses of water in that time period.
Overall though, this is a great place for dessert. It meets all my requirements for decadent deliciousness, at a decent price.
