| - The pie's taste level I'd call closer to 2, but the price (2 for $8), selection, and friendliness bumped pie squared to a 3. If I worked around here I would definitely add this to the lunch rotation, but I wouldn't go out of my way for it. We tried the Guinness steak and potato, southern pulled pork, and montreal smoked meat. The steak & potato was the favourite, nice and tender, good flavour. The pulled pork was a bit dry, the sauce was too sweet and lacked a depth of flavour. The montreal meat was tender although it too was a bit bland.
I found a few problems overall with these pies. The dough isn't the greatest, a bit dry and one was a tad bit burnt and that flavour really carried. Many bites I had were mostly dough. The filling to dough ratio is off, I would rather pay 5 or 6 dollars for a pie that has more filling. The fillings were nice, apparently everything is made on site, but I'd like some more seasoning as all were a bit bland.
I love the concept, the periodic table theme, the price, the server was very friendly and helpful. I really wanted to love this place since I live close enough and I love meat pies, however it just didn't live up to my taste expectations.
