| - First of all, I'll get the obvious out of the way - yes, the baked goods are ridiculous and amazing.
BUT DON'T BE FOOLED.
Pine Cone is so, so much more than 3lb eclairs and bear claws the size of your face. Their food is some of the best diner food I've ever had. I'll be honest and admit that I usually order the same thing (BLT and chicken dumpling soup), but each is an exemplary specimen. BLT with the freshest, crispest veggies, perfectly cooked bacon, and - and here's something so many restaurants fail on - plenty of mayo! Ever notice how so many BLTs are lacking in the mayo department? Not at Pine Cone. A literally perfect sandwich.
Now. About that chicken 'n dumpling soup. Here is, word for word, an actual text message I sent to my boyfriend: "Do you think if we called ahead, they'd sell us like, a quart of that soup to go? I think it's worth trying." Most chefs CAN make chicken soup...not many can make it PERFECTLY. Pine Cone does. Well-made soup is very, very important to me, and something I tend to judge a restaurant on. This soup is perfect - excellent meat/veggie ratio, dumplings that are neither too fluffy nor too chewy, but right in between, just salty enough...I could go on and on, but the bottom line is, if you've never had this soup, you owe it to yourself to go out RIGHT NOW and get some.
My boyfriend usually gets the biscuits and gravy, and they are also excellent (we eat a lot of those too...).
Prices are cheap, service is fast, food is unbelievable...that's all there is to it. Get yourself to Pine Cone.
