| - I was in the area for another appointment when I rolled by this place, looking to find a place for a late lunch.. Pie always sounds good so I stopped in. No sandwiches, but the young lady at the counter said they had omelets and pot pies available all day. Pot pies (!) - although it was late in the day there were still a couple of selections available. I opted for the chicken pot pie, key lime pie for desert, and some iced tea.
Outstanding! The chicken pot pie was fresh, the crust flaky, yet with enough substance to soak up the gravy in the pie; there was an abundance of chicken, and vegetables in the pie, and a gravy with a hint of a seasoning I have yet to identify, that enhanced the taste of the pie. The key lime pie was tart with a sweet, crushed pecan, bottom crust that provided a perfect counterbalance to the lime tartness. This pie was definitely equal to many that I've had in Key West. All pies are handmade.
The young lady at the counter is extremely accommodating; one couple stopped in to buy a whole pie. Late in the afternoon, this selection is somewhat limited. They were happy to go home with an apple pie, missing a couple of slices, replaced by a couple of rhubarb pie slices - an imaginative combination suggested by the counter person.
Price wise, there are no bargains here; other than a slight discount on slices of 2 days old pies. My tab was $15 plus for the small chicken pot pie, key lime pie, and iced tea. Was it worth it? Absolutely! It is a fair value for a labor intensive meal. I did not try the coffees but will on a future visit; again no bargains - Starbuck type prices.
Mobility accessibility in the restaurant proper is excellent; lots of open space, tables that are easily usable. Restroom accessibility appears to be limited; I'll update after my next visit.
I'm looking forward to a return visit, a bit earlier in the day for a wider pie selection, an omelet, and some coffee.
If you are in the area, or see their food truck, try this place out. I think you will enjoy it.
