| - Bakers Square has earned---and deserves---a five star PIE review.
I've been purchasing their pies for several years now so feel my review can be trusted. FAR better than any of those out-sourced pies from Giant Eagle or Heinens (except for H's apple-walnut-caramel). The pies here may be a few dollars more, but so worth it for the quality of ingredients and the exceptional results. Compared to those others---that I'd liken to a "specialty adult line" (if they have such a thing) offered by those inexpensive brands of colorfully boxed kiddie-type snack cakes and desserts---Baker Square pies are the closest to carefully and thoughtfully made-from-scratch versions from an accomplished home baker.
Very few times have we been disappointed. Instead of five, maybe a four star, but never anything less than that. Most often I purchase for larger gatherings, family or friend get-togethers, and holidays, when I enjoy---and prefer---cooking savory dishes more than sweet. Even though I have a favorite (and fabulous) crust recipe from Julia Child, I don't always have the time, so I really appreciate having Bakers Square. In particular, their
. Country Apple Coconut Cream French Silk
Always excellent choices. Tried their cheesecake / apple one time. Didn't go over well---but we prefer cheesecakes without additions. Others, though, must love those various fruit & cheese combinations since Bakers Square continues offering, so worth trying.)
I can't speak to other menu items they offer, because it's been a number of years since we've eaten here. I can say THIS much, however, that thanks to Bakers Square, senior citizens---who appear to be the majority of dining room patrons---can dine in comfort in a clean and spacious restaurant with a very cheerful staff, where they know they'll feel welcome. They've absolutely earned that. If you've never visited one, please disregard any disparaging, unkind reviews about patrons. It's totally completely untrue. Some reviewers have no skill at being humorous or clever, so their only resort at hoping to receive maybe a couple of "funny" votes---that they're so obviously desperate for---is by making fun of older diners. Pretty pathetic. Maybe Yelp could add more voting options? Just a thought.

Pathetic Ew...C-r-e-e-p-y Are You Kidding?!?
Definitely a place to bring Mom, Dad, Auntie, Uncle, Grandma and Grandpa. If they've never been here, chances are they'll enjoy it---and you, too---ESPECIALLY if you all leave room for a slice of dessert.
