What People Are Saying About House Of Pies Restaurant
Featured Review

The Scene – Part all-night diner and part pastry shop, with the vinyl-and-Formica decorative appeal of a bowling alley, people come here because people come here--and that bit of circular logic has remained pretty much unbroken since the place began serving up slices of chocolately Bayou Goo in the 1970s. Its very lack of pretension is appealing, particularly given its elite location between River Oaks and West University. Delivery truck drivers, society matrons, curfew-busting high schoolers and off-duty cops--all are welcome. – – The Food – With sugar-free pastries,…
Editor's Tips
- The Extras:
- Two other locations, one in Spring Branch, the other in the Galleria area, offer the same menu fare but not the same atmosphere.

This is the place to Meet & Greet & Yes, EAT!
by MsLindaC
Let me first tell you, that, their is always a wait, each time that I've been, but the food is very good. I started out eating the breakfast, I moved to the meals then to the sweets. They have the best cakes by far. The German Chocolate Cake is a favorite. I took my friends, my children, & other acquaintes, they loved the place. I've always had good customer service, but this is a very busy place. The Crowne Plaza Hotel..is a wonderful place to stay, if visiting the Houston area. House of pies is on Kirby @ Sw Frwy. You will not be disappointed.
Customer must wait
by ElizabethCaz
Let me start by saying the food is excellent, and thats about all they have going for them, if it wasnt for the food I would never go back, let me tell you why. Horrible Customer Service. You walk in and no one greets you, you stand there for about 2 minutes or longer, Ive stood over 5 miutes waiting for someone to notice me to sit me and my friends. Ive learned to sit myself. And when its time to pay most of the time there is no one at the register, and so there is more waiting, and employees see you but since the register is not there job they igore you, instead of helping to get the cashier. They should just have a sign that says "sit yourself".
Bad Service
by ShannonLyn
I have been eating there for over a year and over the past several months it seems like the waitress always gets our order wrong, then cuts corners and brings us cold food. I just visited Sunday and the order was no where close to right. Then when we got the right order the eggs were cold and the french toast undercooked. I am not impressed at all and will find a different place to eat breakfast.
- Pros: Food when its hot
- Cons: service
I love House of Pies - good food/Great service
by ironhelixx
I have been going for years and have had consistently great service and the food has always been good. I love this place. Inexpensive too. :)
- Pros: Great service, good food, cheap prices
- Cons: They got rid of the chocolate cheesecake :(
Cross Dresser
by subdave
This sighting has stuck in my head for over 25 years. I was eating a late night snack at this restaurant when a man, in full colorful outfit consisting of a dress, scarve, and high heels jumped up from his seat at the counter and forcefully declared after being taunted, "I'll start wearing pants when women start wearing dresses!" Everybody in the restaurant was momentarily stunned by this comment. After a few seconds, one could hear a few chuckles and the look of amusement on many diners' faces. It is not often that one gets to experience such a spectacle! The ironic thing was that I was told by a friend before going to the House of Pies that I could witness some unusual patrons adorned in flamboyant regalia.
- Pros: location, good voyeurisms
- Cons: institutional food
