07.30.26 - Stopped by here with my gf for breakfast this morning, before her flight. Construction…read morein the area is heavy, and quite a bit of traffic, parking was packed, yet we did find a spot close to the door. Service has changed since last I have been here many years ago. In the past they would bring out a bread basket, as a free appetizer like how some mexican restaurants bring out chips and salsa, however, they dont seem to do that here anymore. Service at the table was mediocre, our waitress took our drink order and on the way over, the waitress was spilling the drinks over the floor on the way to our table. After our waitress took our order, my gf did not get the mayo on the side as she had asked, and after we received our food, our waitress never came around to check on us, didn't refill our drinks or anything. The place was very loud, louder than visiting waffle house. I was trying to have a conversation with my gf sitting just across the table from one another, and we were having to literally yell at one another just to hear what each other were saying. My gf did state that the sandwich she ordered was a big sandwich, and was more than she could finish. Once we were ready to go, our waitress still hadn't been around to check on us. So I had to flag down someone else, to get us some to go boxes, and our check. Low and behold, when I was ready to checkout, the waitress appears out of nowhere, after all this time, I'm guessing because she thought she was going to get a good tip. I'm sorry, waitstaff only get a great tip from me, once and if they perform a great job duty, and this was not the case in this matter. Maybe, better luck next time, maybe Papas needs to hire better waitstaff worth hiring and keeping.

Starting, I was greatly disappointed in the flavor of the food(2/10) That should be improved immediately. The service wasn't exactly bad.. it was just extremely short staffed. The only 1 person working the front was acting as the hostess, serving, & helping in the kitchen all at once. I gave her a big big tip. Whoever is running this business should find a way to remove themselves & pass it down to someone who can make it great. Has a lot of potential but this place was 3/10 overall. Left most of my food on the plate.

First impression: it's a cute restaurant, perfect for a casual brunch or lunch. The aesthetic is clean and modern, also a little rustic. Service: Service was good! Food came out fast and can't complain! Food: After much deliberation, I chose the Raspberry Beret (chicken sandwich). I tend to like sweeter foods, so this was right on the dot for me. ! I really liked how the chicken was moist and how the flavors all came together after every bite. My mom got the banh mi, which she liked! I will definitely be recommending this place!

Very disappointing experience at House of Pies. When we walked in, no one acknowledged us or gave…read moreus any direction. After standing there for about 10 minutes with still no help, we finally sat down in the entrance lobby to continue waiting. A waitress then came over with an attitude--not to apologize for the lack of service, but to lecture me that "next time" I needed to make sure I stayed there the whole time and waited to be seated. No, thank you. If your front-of-house staff isn't acknowledging guests or managing the entrance properly, don't lecture customers who have already been waiting patiently. At that point, we left. There are too many places that actually appreciate their customers for me to spend money somewhere that treats people this way. We will not be returning to this location.

As for the boy, he went with French toast, ham steak and scrambled eggs w/ a sided of a biscuit n gravy. He made quick work of those plates.

Unfortunately we were in a pinch…read moreand staying in a hotel nearby so we had limited options. 1) Nobody in the place at 7:00 on a Friday should have been a sign. 2) Waiter never took our drink order. He asked our food order first. We had to ask him if we could get drinks first. 3) When we did order we watched our drinks sit at the end of the bar for 10 min until I had to go retrieve them myself. 4) The food was INCREDIBLY mid for it being that expensive. Undercooked potatoes, overcooked chicken, not a single person at the table of 4 adults had a good thing to say about their meal 5) It took 2 FREAKING HOURS with no one there. When I say no one I mean completely empty 6) Trying to check out and leave. Our server who was looking for an upsell told us he saw a cookie in the back that was ready to go. Thanks for telling our 3 small children that at 9:30. Reluctantly after telling him no several times it was awkward enough to cave. Cookie took about 20 minutes to come out. We had been there for over 2 hours at that point and we had to just get up and leave. If you go to this restaurant after reading this, you deserve the horrible experience you will certainly have.
