| - If I were rating just the pie, they would get five stars and then some. The facility is in a not-so-spectacular part of town, and it shows both inside the restaurant and out. The staff is friendly, although I noticed a couple of them are short a few teeth... I have a thing with teeth. I don't suppose it really affects most peoples' dining experience. However, if you, like I, have a thing about teeth, be prepared.
Of the food I have eaten there, thus far, it's been of good quality. They have a modest salad bar, complete with all kinds of tasty goodies, packed into an even more modest space; it takes up both sides of a passage to get to half the south seating area, so if you linger you might get a chance to get up close and personal with some of your fellow diners.
I haven't actually set foot in the kitchen, but I get the distinct impression that they make their own bread. They serve small loaves of it as an appetizer with your meal. The dough is also used to make their pizza, which my son orders every time we go there.
Oh, and the pies. If everything that is good and right could be made into a pie, it would be these pies. We actually started going there because My Mother's was kind enough to donate some pies to a breast cancer event my wife was taking part in, and she enjoyed the pies so much we had to eat at the restaurant to thank them and to get more pie. That's when I got my first taste of the pie. I can not recommend the banana cream pie highly enough.
To summarize, the place is a bit run down, nice people, decent food (although, don't go if you're watching what you eat), good bread and pies that are almost as good as sex was, back when I was younger and could do it right...
