If you go on a weekday from 4-6p, you can't park on the street in front of the entrance. I went to grab some apple pies and ended up trying their chili and chili pot pie. Both tasted amazing!! My kids ate them swiftly and left no crumbs. Both were seasoned well and the portion of crust to filling worked well for the pot pie. I especially love that they have a full menu of non-pork options (ground turkey, chicken sausage, etc...). This was my first time, but won't be my last! read more

I visited Crustees on a Tuesday evening, and it was fairly busy with takeout and DoorDash orders. Initially, I was told that the seafood gumbo pot pie wasn't available, but I appreciated that they were able to make one for me in about 15 minutes. The pot pie itself was good, though I was expecting more seafood. The gumbo seemed to contain mostly chicken and sausage, and I didn't notice much seafood. Because of that, I think I'll give the veggie pot pie a try on my next visit. For dessert, I had the peach cobbler with ice cream, and that was definitely a highlight of the meal, warm, flavorful, and a great way to end the evening. Overall, a solid experience with friendly service and tasty comfort food. I'd come back to try some of their other pot pie options. read more

Got the chicken pie. The good: all white meat as promised. Flaky crust. The not so great: the filling was only ok. Not nasty, but def not the best I've had. It was also quite pricey. And for over $13 for a 6 inch pie, it should've knocked my socks off & been the best I've had. The older guy who sold pie was pleasant & the place was clean. They advertise an apple crisp which intrigued me, until I asked if there was nuts. The guy told me there were. Well, that isn't listed in description & probably should be. read more

I've had Crustees a few times now thanks to their booth at the Beverly Hills Farmers Market. It's so good, I keep coming back for more of their pot pies. The flagship chicken pot pie is probably my favorite of their offerings! It's the perfect combination of chicken, veggies and their homemade chicken cream sauce and the crust. You'll understand why they are called Crustees...it's just unreal and is so well balanced with all the interior components. Second favorite is the curry chicken, also loved the shephard's pie. I really think you can't go wrong with any of their savory options. Get their bigger sized pie as then it's the perfect portion for 2 people to share for a meal. And for $10-13 a pop? Crustees Eatery is fire~!!! read more

The food is ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS!!!! The service is quick!!! The people are so friendly and kind. The ambiance is very much like your having Sunday dinner with family. I have been here twice in the past week. It is so good and every day they have a special item on their menu. I was lucky enough the first time to have their Gumbo Pot pie!!! I had to force myself to save some for later. It was AMAZING. I had the curry pot pie today and my eyes were closed with every delicious bite. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!! #BlackOwnedandOperated read more

I recently tried this place for the first time before leaving for a flight and the chicken pot pie knocked me into a beautiful food coma. I had the biggest craving for such a long time and I'm so grateful Crustees exists! I enjoyed a cup of their turkey chili and their chicken chili! I am pleased at the options for chili! Both were amazing, the turkey one seemed a little spiced but it was AMAZING. The chicken chili was great but my preference is the turkey one for now. The chicken pot pie was perfect, the crust made it a full circle moment and it is a perfect serving for just one. I inhaled it before I could get a decent photo of its presentation, vegetables were cooked to perfection and the actual inside of the pie was so warm and seemed like it was hugging my stomach from the inside. I also enjoyed their corn bread which was a little dry but it was still plenty flavorful. I did go back recently for a birthday desert for myself, I'm not a cake person but I LOVE pumpkin pie and I was so excited to go back for a mini one as my birthday desert! It was delicious! Cherry on top for sure. The two times I've visited the staff has been very welcoming and also helped me set up a rewards account that I absolutely will be adding points to. There's a nice sit down section outside but I prefer dining inside if anything, seemed very clean and organized but not too much decor which is fine because the food makes up for it. The only thing I would add as a negative is they do not accept cash payments. I understand cashless restaurants are everywhere now but I really would've appreciated the cash payment option. read more

Banana Pudding :( It's described as "classic" banana pudding, but there's absolutely nothing classic about it. First taste, immediately tasted that horrible boxed flavor, way too sweet and located ZERO bananas. I haven't tried anything else, first time and I'm not impressed. For a small intimate spot, why can't the time be made to make this so called "classic" truly homemade, especially for the price? That dessert tasted assembly line manufactured without a care in the world. read more

The staff was extremely nice and helpful for a couple of first timers. Chocolate & key lime pies hit right right spot. I enjoyed my beef pot pie but my friends curry chicken pie could've used more juice. I wasn't sure if I would be full but the two pie combo was just the right amount of food. We'll give it another try next time we're in LA. read more

That banana pudding is amazing.! We had to pick up some tailoring at a near by boutique and walked in while they made some adjustments. The turkey chili is delicious and I know turkey chili cause I've been making it by request for my family and for special occasions for a couple of decades. We decided to get a little dessert not expecting to be blown away. My bestie and I were speechless. Couldn't even continue our conversation just a lot of"umm" ,Oh my", "wait " and shaking our heads in complete disbelief that something could be so delicious. We both live in cities close to the San Gabriel Mountains but we vow to make this excursion to support the business and experience complete pleasure. read more

Crustees is great I had a craving for a pot pie ona cold rainy day. Diane( who serve in the military and thank you for your service) talked me out of my PJ's to come down and get a Chicken Pot Pie. I went down there and didn't get one I got a Curry Chicken Pot Pie and Key Lime pie. As a self proclaimed Key lime connoisseur it was great. The pies have very fresh ingredients seasoned perfectly also the crust is amazing I see how they get the name Crustees. It was so good I came back today to get some chili and ended up getting the chili cheese pot pie and another key lime pie. This is my new comfort food spot. read more

ok so hear me out.... this place has the best thanksgiving pot pie, peach cobbler, jalapeño cornbread, and banana pudding... hands down... ALL in one centralized place. the older black lady who works here is the sweetest human being i've met at the front and she offered samples of the gumbo cause i was apprehensive in ordering it i wanted to gate keep this place, but i keep taking my friends here or picking up pies whenever im on slauson. truly a GEM - parking isn't too bad on the side street. ambience is neat but tiny. it's more a grab & go than sit down! read more

Really really good peach cobbler! I went to a very fancy dinner party at a friend's home. The menu was very hi-brow and when she told me we were having tiramisu, I offered to bring this Crustee's cobbler. Well I did not know that one of the other guests had made the tiramisu and that she was very proud of her dish. Honestly I did not mean to steal her glory. But trust me, when the cobbler was presented, that little Italian cake just didn't have a chance. People licked their spoons and found ways to sneak into the kitchen with plastic cups to take some home. Crustees delivered a delicious not-overly sweet peach filling that had a gentle hint of cinnamon and a crust you could stand up and salute. It was so damn good that the tiramisu lady stopped speaking to me. and this was the highest of compliments read more

Mmmmmmm WoW!!! We picked these up based on reviews and photos, took them to a tailgate, simply delicious!! They did NOT disappoint. Certainly hit the spot :) read more

I love the way I'm welcomed whenever I stop by. Staff here is always friendly and eager to help. It's rare I feel a restaurant can make food that tastes like my own, amazing cooking...but the turkey chili here is so dang delicious! When you want homemade chili without having to put in the work yourself, this is the place. Perfect for chilly nights. My husband enjoys the gumbo as well. And to top it off, be sure to treat yourself to a delicious pie. I can't wait to try a pot pie as well! read more

Congratulations on your six years in business, Carl. Your Shepherd's Pies are so delicate, not heavy, and oh so tasty! Be sure to check out the pies such as cherry or mixed berry which is my partner's favorite. So happy to have discovered your eatery! read more

Do not get the banana pudding... the custard does not taste homemade and is waaaay too sweet... there was only one banana in the cup and the cookies were super soggy, so it was probably made a day or two before... I just had high expectations Everything else is super yummy tho and they have great customer service read more

I am so late to discover this amazing eatery specializing in tasty pot pies and flaky dessert cobblers! I saw an ad on FB, and we came today - and they are celebrating their 5 year anniversary today!!! We got a chicken pot pie and a beef pot pie! The chicken pot pie, the classic, was so fulfilling I felt loved! But the beef pot pie!! It had a tantalizing flavor I could not place, and I couldnt stop eating it! We then got the banana pudding and the nutter butter peanut butter pudding!! Light, rich, silky and satisfying! We couldn't stop!! Then we got several desserts to take home: peach cobbler, apple crisp cobbler and the pecan pumpkin pie! God help us!! $85 dollars later, with pies to take home - and we already are planning on coming back! There are so many more varieties to try: more types of pot pies including a special Thanksgiving pot pie, two types of chili, seafood gumbo, and so many more desserts!!! read more

Today, I ordered the Gumbo, Curry Chicken Pot Pie, and Pecan Sweet Potato Pie through Grubhub, and the experience was fantastic. I rated it 4 stars primarily because of the Curry Chicken Pot Pie which was my favorite! Rich, flavorful, and incredibly comforting. The gumbo had a great texture and portion size, but it was slightly lacking in flavor. The same goes for the sweet potato pie, it could use a bit more depth. That said, I was more than satisfied overall and can't wait to order again. Thanks for the comforting meals read more

Good all around. We got the Peach pie, individual Cherry pies and their banana pudding. My favorite was the banana pudding - I could have eaten 2, but had to be mindful to share The pie crusts were really good, the filling were a bit ordinary (and not sweet enough) for me but they did taste very fresh - so much so that I that I bit into a few cherry pits (so watch out, it could hurt depending on how hard you bite). I would like to go back to try their savory pies since the crust is nice and flaky. read more

Omg the chicken pot pie is so good. I've tasted the chili, gumbo and white beans. Everything I've tried gets

Came in today, for a pick me-up as we love to support our local small businesses only. Had the Cherry Pie before, best I've ever had. The workers and owner are always so friendly. Today had a bite of my partners lemon Meringue and it's by far the best lemon meringue I've ever had, and nothing comes anywhere near close. Stop by if you're in the area. Best in L.A. read more

Tasty, savory, delicious, scrumptious, filling...I went today to bless my taste buds. Customer service is very welcoming, friendly and inviting. I was able to find parking on the street in front of the eatery. I left my dog child in the car with it running and my air on full blast because it was a sweltering day. I wasn't sure what to get. There were so many delectable options to choose from both savory and sweet. I was persuaded by the owner to try some items so I got the Curry chicken pot pie, the Mixed berry cookie crumble pie, the peach cobbler, the banana pudding and a cup of chili. My total was 50. Service was quick and I left to go home and devour my food. THEY WERE AMAZING. Chili was thick and heart my curry chicken was moist and full and amaze balls. Both if my dishes were ready to eat and fresh! They filled me up rather quickly. I have not tried my peach cobbler or my banana as I ran out of tummy space!!!! I imagine the food keeps well for lunch the next day and beyond. This is definitely a place I'm coming back to! read more

The Best Chicken Pot Pie I have ever had!!!!!! And please try the cornbread delicious!

my my my... mymymymy. just left 20 minutes ago. i ordered online a banana pudding, apple crust and peach cobbla. but when i pulled up, that strawberry, blueberry&banana pudding was staring at me. menacingly. so i got of that as well. and that didn't stand a chance. i haven't tatsed the rest, but what i did eat in the first 120 seconds of walking in the house was A1. the lady who took care of me was great. friendly. funny. the music right outside was dope. not too loud. yeah i'll back to try the white bean chicken chili. read more

I would guess by the name that they specialize in pies. And the Apple Pie I tried is fantastic, but their real claim to fame is their sugar-bomb Banana Pudding and the Seafood Gumbo which is truly exceptional. The shrimp and crab infuse the seafood savor, and chicken and sausage make a meaty mix. I'm not going to lie, nine dollars is pretty steep for a 5-inch pie, but the quality is excellent. If I'm going to spend my money somewhere, I'd happily spend it to support this family business. read more

Can I just say (type), I'm glad I stopped by. First, everyone smiled when I walked in. So I smiled. I asked for the customer favorites and Rachel said "the chili (pick one, any one) and the chicken pot pie. And that's what I ordered, to go. I was not disappointed with my white bean chili and side of rice, chicken pot pie and pecan sweet potato pie. Nooooo, I didn't eat that all in one sitting...lol...I saved the chicken pot pie for dinner and had a piece of the pecan pie and pinched on it the rest of the week. And you know I had to check out the cleanliness of the dining room, serving area and restroom...check! Nice, organized, clean and fresh. Customer Service, great...check! Clean... check! Delicious Food...check! Visiting Again...ABSOLUTELY! Next up, peach cobbler...hhhmmm, and maybe the curry chicken pot pie. read more
