I was in the queen west neighbourhood and following the raving reviews from my fellow yelper's I had to make a quick stop in here.
Came here during the lunch hour and picked up a Traditional Assie - minced beef in a rich beef gravy with a hint of vegemite. Costs averaged around ~$7 - $8 a pie depending on which pie you select. The pies are all made with 100% pure butter pastry and local, responsibly-raised meat. The pies are about a large fist size. For bigger eaters, you may want to opt to combo your meal with a side salad or fries.
The pie was really rich and tasty, and kept me satisfied for the next hour. Would have liked if there was more meaty goodness stuffed in the pie.
Time: It took about 15 mins from entry to the time I could leave the store armed with my decadently scented pie. There were two others in line before me. The store is a petite gem and on this day there was only one staff. She was fantastic at holding down the kitchen and cash, however it was clear the shop was understaffed.
Protip: arm yourself with a handful of napkins if you're going to eat the pie on the go. The buttery goodness may find a way of spreading all over your face and hands.
Check out these pies if you're already in the area. G'day mate.
