    This is the best place in SE Michigan for pies and all things pie related. They have quiche, savory pot pies, cream pies, and the most amazing fruit pies. I first tried this company at a festival locally and tried my still favorite pie. ABCC or Apple berry cherry crumble is soo delicious. If you not a fan of a crumble, it's OK. They have regular pies also from cherry, apple, rhubarb, pecan,key lime and peach. A few cream varieties also. If you can decide, buy a slice and try another flavor. I haven't had one that I haven't liked. They are open at 0800, and when I wanted a chicken pot pie, I came here after work for a large carryout order. They also have quiche, sandwiches, and combo platters. If you want breakfast, lunch, or dinner, come on in. Did I mention the classic Maurice salad from Dayton Hudson restaurants. They have replicated the dressing almost perfectly. I grabbed one of those today also. There is only one downside here, so it's hard to decide what to get. I normally get a few pies, both savory and sweet, and with my large family, I never have any waste. Join the pie dough club for more perks. I ended up grabbing my free slice of peach crumble( a new one for me) also.

    First time at this pie company, I went with my church Auntie, Auntie Miriam and she highly recommends! We had a light lunch here with soup and a sandwich, their vegetarian options are few but you can always ask to take things out! Now their pies. Ranges from savory to sweet pies, hmmm mmm, so so good! Their crust is light and the pie fillings are too good. 10/10. I also enjoyed the service we received and the atmosphere of the restaurant! Can't wait to come back and get some more pies!

    'Ello Chaps, Pie may be in the name of Grand Traverse Pie Company - and it's good - but it's more than that. Grand Traverse Pie Company got it's start in the late 1990's in Traverse City. Since then it's grown to 15 locations throughout the Mitten State. They're a fast casual style restaurant - where you order at the kiosk then take your time eating. The menu features a variety of pies - I highly recommend crumble cherry - but also plenty of comfort food. Soups, sandwiches, salads, and quiches. I won't pretend to understand how a business operates, but one downfall is portions v. price can seem a bit steep, but the quality of food is divine. Overall for food quality and options, but a reflection of price, I give Grand Traverse Pie Company four stars out of five. Worth a trip.

    Manitou Sandwich on a croissant, add cheddar and lettuce. They forgot the tomato and lettuce.

    Warning, do not come here for lunch unless you're eating a pot pie (which seemed popular to some folks). Employees were slow and nobody seemed to be trained well. My family came for lunch and we all ordered sandwiches, which happened to be the absolute lowest quality sandwiches I've ever received at an establishment. They are an average of $12 yet should be less than $5. The tables were all dirty when we came in, with employees not doing anything. I had to have someone wipe a table down. Good thing nobody asked me how the food was, because it was awful. Not only were the sandwiches bad, but they forgot ingredients that were included on it and ingredients that I had added. The grilled meat was over grilled to the point where they were dry, I needed to douse it in mayo to eat. The amount of meat was the tiniest portion possible, it was probably a singular slice per sandwich. The pies are fine, but at that point, they should not serve food other than pie. The pies were comparable to any other pie shop. Nothing special. We spent around $80 on 3 mini pies and 4 sandwiches. Yikes. Not sure how they have 4 stars.

    Order a deli sandwich when you come here. They make them fresh and they are delicious. I had the blueberry applesauce and that was really good with great blueberry flavor. My wife really enjoyed the tomato soup. Too full to try a pie but it's on the list to do.

    GT is a great place to grab a treat. This is the closest location to us, but is still nearly an hour away. Hence, we don't get here nearly as often as we'd like. But when we venture close, we'll often stop for a slice. I like the fact that they have NSA (natural) pies. On our last visit, they had natural apple, which was very good. My wife had the lemon meringue, which she also liked. I also enjoy their coffee here, as it complements their sweet treats nicely. The service was good and the prices were quite fair on our last visit. Two slices of pie with two drinks cost $11.20. For an enjoyable treat, this was more than acceptable.

    Do have some pies. 1 of EBS and I first dates was here.

    The only thing I don't like is that the company has limited locations for how good their food and service. The menu includes many choices of sandwiches, soups, Mac and cheese, and even quiches. Don't get me started about the choices of pies and other dessert. During the pandemic, they have it set up so you go in 1 door and out the other. I always get the option of 2. Half of a Maurice salad is always one of them. I switch between lobster bisque or grilled cheese, but this time I got to herb tomato bisque. They did forget the bread that went with it. No Pop machine now or even a bathroom, but happy to help keep them in business.

    A+ experience! This place is super cute and delicious. I love that this place is in an old,…read morehistoric building. It has so much charm inside and out. Now the setup is that you walk up to the counter to order then they direct you to a table (inside or out, your preference) and bring you what you've ordered. You can also order to go. The food was super quick and delicious. We ordered the huevos rancheros with chorizo and ham & egg breakfast sandwich. Both were exceptionally well seasoned with lots of flavor. Eggs were perfectly runny for the rancheros and folded egg omelet was not dry on the sandwich. Crispy tortillas on the rancheros and house made chorizo was flavorful and not greasy. I'd say that this dish was not very spicy at all, I had to add cholula hot sauce which was conveniently on the table already. They have a bathroom in the basement, which you have to get through the kitchen. So, not accessible for all but it does have a diaper changing station available for the littles. Lots of seating choices: communal table, small tables, and window counter height seating plus outside tables in the back. Overall, will be back again with the kids since there were lots of families with smaller kids here so very family friendly.

The staff are very friendly and nice. The outside has umbrellas so it's perfect for rainy and sunny weather. The corned beef hash was delicious! It had some crispyness and great flavor! The breakfast burrito was also delicious and not too big but very filling! The honey cinnamon latte was very tasty too. Nothing disappointed! Parking is only hard but we managed to find a spot not too far away.

The shao lum bao (soup dumplings) had thick skin and flavor was ok so it didn't taste authentic to me and I was disappointed. The soup bases were ok tasting and got oily after cooking meat (we tried the creamy chicken soup base, the pumpkin soup base, and the spicy mild soup base). You order the soup bases and then select each of the items that are charged separately (like meat, vegetables, and dumplings or noodles). That is why it gets to be pricey! Overall, everything tasted ok. Even the sauces were not as tasty (but prob my fault for not mixing them well). It was good to try once but would not return. Unless their prices dropped hahaha

    My friend had high praise for Spencer, so I was excited to try it out when I was in Ann Arbor. My…read morefriends and I arrived 10 min before they opened for brunch and there was no wait, though the restaurant filled up quickly behind us. The space is rustic and simple, with fresh cut flowers on the tables. A majority of the walls were occupied by floor to ceiling racks of wine, as that is their award-winning product. Their brunch menu changes weekly and is extremely tight and cohesive. My party ordered the entire food menu sans olives (2/3rds of us don't like them), and two plates of the potato pelmeni. My thoughts below: Amaro Apertivo: mocktail based on the namesake dessert wine. This tasted like candy but not too sweet, and we enjoyed it a lot. Lovage soda: Google told me that lovage is an herb that tastes like citrus and celery. I am a huge fan of drinks with a twist, and I'd say that celery is a pretty big one! Crisp and not too sweet, the citrus flavor definitely balanced the Celery, and both flavors kept the soda fresh and crisp. This was great paired with the rest of the herbaceous menu and balanced out the richness of some later dishes, though it's not necessarily something I would enjoy by itself without appropriate accompaniment. Pickled egg, fried shallot, dill: I had only heard of pickled eggs in the context of strange British food on YouTube, so I was a little hesitant about this dish. The concept of an egg floating in vinegar brine is a bit off-putting, but once I powered through that mental roadblock, I found myself enjoying this bite. The egg is perfectly cooked with a slightly jammy yolk, and the shallots added a much needed crunch. Dill enhanced the pickled taste while cutting through the richness of the fried shallots and yolk. Sourdough focaccia, whipped butter: Never in my life have I ever made focaccia this tall. This focaccia was raised by a loving family and nurtured to develop a golden, non-greasy, crisp crust protecting its tender, pillowy innards. The classic sourdough tang is a novel addition to each bite, and cuts through the creamy, whipped butter to keep me wanting more. I could eat a whole pan of this alone, but we had many more plates to sample. Saucisson sec salami, pickled carrot: This is a simple, charming, carb-free mini charcuterie; place a slice of salami, some of the mozzarella (next dish on this list, below), and its oil atop a pickled carrot base, and you are in for a perfectly balanced treat. My favorite part of this dish is the fact that the salami was incredibly savory, and not too salty. The more you chew it, the more the flavors express themselves, so be sure to chew slowly and thoroughly! The crunch of the crisp, dill-pickled carrot and the soft chewiness of the mozzarella give each bite a lot of good contrast. Mozzarella, green garlic oil: Fresh, hand-stretched mozzarella is something that even I, a notorious cheese-hater, can't say no to. It is not sharp or funky at all, nor is it too salty. Most of the flavor comes from the green garlic and olive oil smothering each bite. Fresh and floral with a little bite, this was delicious with the salami and carrot above. Potato pelmeni, asparagus green adjika, sour cream: Given the portion size of the previous dishes (small, tapas vibes), we were not expecting the platter full of double carb heaven that met our eyes. And we ordered two!!! This is a gorgeous dish with plump, quarter-sized pelmeni nestled in a vibrant green asparagus and herb sauce with a dollop of sour cream on top. This was a classic comfort dish with a verdant twist! The pelmeni were stuffed full of creamy potato, and the dough was cooked perfectly al dente for a satisfying, pillowy bite. The sauce was homey but packed with zippy flavor and tender asparagus. The major feedback I have for this dish is that it was way too salty, to the point where the flavor was a tad too sharp because of it. Lettuces, radish, pumpkin seed, caraway vinaigrette: It was through this dish that I found out what caraway tastes like and through this dish that I figured out that I'm not a caraway fan. The lettuces were bitter and when combined with the slightly medicinal caraway taste, wasn't for me. The crunch of the radish and the nutty pumpkin seeds were great in this dish though! Fennel cornmeal biscotti, rhubarb compote, cream: This was a single biscotti with generous dollops of compote and cream. We were quite full when this dish was set in front of us, so I was frankly relieved for the small portion size. The fennel in the biscotti paired wonderfully with the tart rhubarb, and the rich cream rounded things out nicely without tipping into cloying territory. The savory cornmeal complimented the fennel and provided additional depth of flavor. A great small bite to end on! Overall, Spencer's strong fundamentals allow them to take risks with in-season local produce. Some things worked for me and some didn't, but I would love to come back to see what they can create next!

For background, my boyfriend and I are from Ohio and ate here around the same time last year and have been talking about our experience ever since. My boyfriend suggested we go and get Spencer again for lunch and saw that they do not take reservations online. That is important to this review, that they don't take lunch reservations online. We got to Spencer around 2:06 and it was busy which obviously is no issue at all. When we first talk to a server, she said it would be about a ten, fifteen minute wait. Then a man came over and said about 40 minutes, again no problem at all. The issue is that they don't "do callbacks", so they don't take your number. You are expected to literally wait around the restaurant in order to hold your place, however the man said to just come back within 40 minutes. We were willing to wait, again with it no issue at all as we were expecting to wait anyway. We walked around downtown for about 30 minutes and went back just to check in. The same man said it would take a little longer, 15 minutes but that we were first in line and would be sat first. Again this is no issue, you can't gage on how long people will stay and eat so we were willing to wait. We let him know that we will be waiting outside then so we don't miss our reservation. A couple were actually in the same boat as us waiting outside. Finally, after about another addition 30 minutes a couple left the restaurant so the couple outside with us walked in and we were behind them. The man saw us, apologized and said they were in front of us because they "made a reservation online." Then crossed off their name below us on a sheet of paper. I'm sorry? I checked and you cannot make a reservation until 5 PM. So what in the actual world was that? I wish I was kidding and I know how I sound here but it was so obvious that he let them in before us. At this point we were in a catch 22, leave after waiting for an hour and thirty minutes at this point just to have them come out and look for us or stay for another promised "fifteen minutes". We waited since we did drive 2 hours and 30 minutes specifically for this restaurant. Finally, after almost an hour and forty five minutes we were sat. Almost half the menu was sold out. I just HAVE to laugh at this point. Apologies were said and at this point like what were we supposed to do? We ordered everything that was left, bread, olives, salami with carrots and a celery salad which they had to make a substitute with the salad. Whatever I would've eaten scraps at this point. I had one glass of wine and after all was said is done, they gave us last call. I am still laughing at this point. We ate our small dishes and promptly asked for the check, which was 58 dollars including gratuity. I am not even going to mention the countless people we talked to outside asking us to hurry up and eat fast so they can get in. This review is for no one BUT the management at Spencer. As someone who works in the service industry and understands set backs, you NEED to figure out your reservation system. Either you have one or you don't. Talk to your staff when these things happens so they don't lie to costumers when they accidentally seat someone before them. I loved the food, loved the atmosphere, but my God please figure out the seating and waiting system. I wish you all the very best!
