House of Pies

House of Pies Restaurant Review:

For fifty years and counting, this iconic spot has been baking pies and feeding Houstonians 24 hours a day. Expect a line out the door for weekend brunch and anticipate customers around the building --- with TV reporters on board --- the day before Thanksgiving when it looks like half of the city is picking up pies for the holiday. Walk in and you’ll immediately encounter the glass case filled with the forty different pies on the menu, some topped with six-inch-high meringue. There are cakes, cookies and brownies to tempt as well, and plenty of good old-fashioned diner food. Need something to soak up last night’s libations? House of Pies is your spot for chicken fried steak and eggs, corned beef hash, biscuits and gravy and platters of waffles. You can also order lunch and dinner plates at any time: burgers, sandwiches, salads, and steak or chicken with baked potatoes and grilled vegetables. Just don’t forget the pie.
