Simply the best pasties I have my neighbors stop and bring me several pasties simply the best!!!!

AMAZING. Truly has been there for me in my darkest times. This place has seen me at my best, like the morning of my wedding; and other days hungover, sick, depressed, needing only one thing: a toasty, delectable pasty. The workers just might be angels incarnate, providing warm smiles to juxtapose cold, wintery Cadillac days. Thank you for your service to not only myself but the world at large. read more

Let me tell you something about me: I love crust. A pasty is basically 50% crust, and 50% delicious gravy-and-vegetable goodness. I had never had a pasty until I visited Mr. Foisies Pasties, but I knew I would love them when I heard about them, and I was right! And what a place to try a pasty for the first time. Mr. Foisie's Pasties is a Cadillac staple. They are making amazing pasties here, and that's pretty much all they are making, with the exception of a couple of other crust-forward desserts like hot apple dumplings and hand pies. You have to respect a place that specializes in one thing. That's when you know you're going to get something really good. But back to the pasty. What's a pasty, you ask? A pasty is a British baked pastry, typically filled with savory ingredients like meat, potatoes, onion and rutabaga. (Think of a handheld pot pie.) It turns out that pasties are a part of Michigan's and the Upper Peninsula's mining history. Pasties were brought to the area as the original fast food of lumberjacks and miners. Mr. Foisie's was founded in 1987, and they have been serving three main pasties since then: beef, chicken and veggie. I got the veggie pasty, which was loaded with rich gravy and cubed vegetables. The thing that did it for me was the crust, though. I have never had crust so tender. It was so soft that it was surprising that it could hold so much goodness inside that pocket. I also got an apple dumpling, which is served hot and glazed with a sugary vanilla frosting. The apple dumplings are huge and cinnamony and decadent. Pasties and other baked goods are made fresh throughout the day here. But they tend to sell out before the day ends, so be sure to get there early if you want to snag your own pasty! read more

Stopped on our way back down to the city and this place was amazingly delicious! As good as in the upper! 10 outta 10!

It's adorable, it's small, service was nice. Appears to be a very small operation. When they are sold out- it's sold out. You can buy some to go , eat in, or frozen. They were out of the beef, so we had a chicken and a vegetable. I think i preferedd the vegetable. I do like mine with gravy. There are books, games, and other odds and ends to look at while you wait and dine. I appreciated the michigan themed items. read more

Four of us Stopped for lunch while biking. Barely greeted. I looked up at wall and asked "where's your pasty menu". Reply - We have beef, chicken or vegetable. We each ordered a beef, but they only had three! It's lunch time! Did offer us gravy (it was good) and heated that in the microwave. Sat outside on one of two round picnic tables (in great shape) but we had to side step a couple piles of dog ****. Beef pasty was tasteless, glad for the gravy. Meat was shredded rubbery, couldn't taste onion or rutabaga. Had much better tasting in Mackinaw/St Ignace. read more

Food - 5 star Service - 3.5 star Ambiance - 3 star Food is really Good. We think the best in the state of Michigan. Mom loves their pasties and we always try to stop by when we drive through Cadillac. Service is ok- the guy who works there is alright not bad. Not overly friendly. But don't let that stop you. Definitely recommend and will go there again. . read more

Best pasties south of the bridge! When we camp we always eat some our first night. We always take some frozen ones home too.

Wow! So delicious. We tried all three (beef, chicken, and vegetable) and all were so yummy. Made fresh right there. Highly recommended! read more

They are decent pasties with a thin soft pastry shell. I like the flavor profile and think the beef is far better than the chicken for the reason that the rutabaga overpowers the chicken. I would like there to be a better meat to vegetable ratio as well. They could use twice the beef and it would feel like the average amount that should be in it. I would definitely get it with the gravy! read more

Great Upper pasties highly recommend to try the experience taste authentic they fill them up!!

The website said they were open, but when my husband walked over to get food, they were closed, and the phone message said they were unavailable to answer the phone. Guess what? We will not try this again! read more

We literally plan our trip from Wisconsin to Michigan around Mr. Foisies Pasties. We called ahead and ordered 3 dozen pasties and a dozen apple dumplings. Over the last three years we have tried to find other pasties that come remotely close and we are still looking. The crust of the pasties is sooo delicious. One year we saw the owner picking up fresh ingredients right from a local farmers market. The Veggie pasties are my favorite. The kitchen is always spotless and are continuously making fresh pasties. The entire staff is super friendly. This is a must stop if you are near the area and also worth the trip from further away. read more

We stop here every time we are in Cadillac to eat fresh pasties and also stock up on some frozen pasties to take home with us. Fresh, delicious, reasonably priced, and such friendly service! read more

So I've had good pasties from copper country like others have. Foisies is not like the originals found in the UP. Bought one for my father in law and one for me. Neither of us even swallowed the first bite. I couldn't even get my dog to eat them and he'll eat pretty much anything. I have no idea what others find good about this place. Seems the positive reviews are mostly from people who have never had a pastie before, (and no, it isn't spelled pasty) so that may be why people think these are good. A couple reviews even said they didn't have anything to compare these to. So their reviews are a bit misguided. Anyway, I will never be back. Not worth the money and just atrocious to have to eat. read more

Please note the following: Not ALL pasties are available at all times. Don't go hoping for a certain kind because it may or may not be there. Vegetable pasties are NOT vegetarian. As of today, staff is not wearing masks; nor were any other customers who visited while we were there. There is a plexiglass barrier at the counter. I wouldn't call the staff unfriendly but unhelpful and short are accurate descriptions. The pasties that we did end up getting were so so. I prefer other places but it satisfied the craving for an up north specialty. read more

Mr Foisies Pasties - Veggie Pastie - British Near Me - Cadillac, Michigan

The best. I really don't have to say anything else. Anytime my family is anywhere near Cadillac we stop here. The place is clean and quirkily decorated. Service is beyond excellent. Come for the pasties but don't miss the cookies! read more

Food is good, but I felt like I was interrupting the person working there. I was the only customer, and I was going to dine in but was made to feel that I was a bother and not welcome there so I ate in a parking lot down the road. Again the Food is good and if you don't mind being made to feel uncomfortable and an annoyance then definitely grab a Pastie from here. read more

The food is exceptional! The service is phenomenal! The atmosphere is very welcoming! Their pies are awesome! But their pasties are the best!! If you want a delicious, filling meal, the Mr Foisies Pasties is your place! I highly recommend it!! read more

We picked up a half dozen frozen pasties on our way home from Crystal Mountain and tried them for the first time the other night! Each of the frozen pasties comes individually wrapped and labeled with clear baking instructions. My boyfriend and I split a beef and chicken pastie. They are super big! Each one is definitely enough for one persons meal. I love potatoes and think the ratio is perfect, but my bf thought the pasties were a touch dry and would've liked more meat and fewer potatoes. The dough is really nice and the filling is seasoned nicely. I loved both, but think I like the chicken slightly more. We are glad we picked up half a dozen and look forward to stocking up the next time we are in the area. They didn't have any apple dumplings, but I've heard great things and hope to be able to try them one day! read more

This is a take-away for pasties. The proprietors are not the original owners, but it's clear they are hard-working and maintaining good standards. The pasties are very good. The store is very clean. Note that when we were there 8/2024, they no longer sold sweet (fruit) versions; savory only. read more

I've come here for the pasties and I wasn't disappointed: the beef pasty was good. But while I didn't plan to get a dessert, I couldn't resist taking home a piece of a rhubarb-raspberry pie and an apple dumpling. Both desserts were very yummy. read more

Mr Foisies Pasties - Beef pasty - British Near Me - Cadillac, Michigan

These are my favorite pasties. The crust is paper thin and the filling is perfectly spiced. Order a side of gravy because it's good gravy but these don't need any. They area very good size as well. (They feed two people) We took ours to the lake for lunch and an apple dumpling. (Also big enough for two). You don't see many big, whole-Apple dumplings like these anymore so get this one! (Only $3.50!) Everything was delicious! And service is so friendly too! read more

So good! Had a chicken pasty and cinnamon twists they had on hand. Crust is similar to a pot pie crust and the same dough is used for baked goods. Got chicken gravy to go with the pasty and it was scrumptious as well. Will stop back by if ever in the area again. Highly recommend. read more

I found Mr. Foisies Pasties as I was traveling through Cadillac and am very pleased with their product. I took them home as a surprise treat for my wife. We reheated them for supper. We agree that they are the best Pasties we have found south of the bridge. I will go out of my way to stop for more in the future. read more

Wonderful service! We were on vacation and had to try the pasties! You definitely need to go here.

Everything was excellent at Mr. Foises Pasties. We had cookies, pasties (chicken and beef), cinnamon twists and apple dumplings. The food was outstanding and loved the quaint atmosphere. We will definitely be stopping next time we are in town. read more

So I pass through Cadillac on my way to a friends and have stopped here on 3 trips! It is now a must do! One of the best pasties! Stuffed full of meat and perfectly crispy crust. Side of gravy is a must! No frills to this place and I appreciate it. Couple pasty options and few sides and occasionally some baked goods! Highly recommend. read more

If you a looking for pasties this is the place to go their food is great (pasties, baked goods). There service is great you can order for there or to go and for to go they will give you a frozen pasty or your choice to bring home. It's a great family business with seating inside an out. Overall a great place to go during the summer and winter. read more

The pasties were all potato/rutabaga and hardly any beef. We found this to be true in the 4 that we heated and served to friends.

I am amazed at other persons review giving this place a one star!? Talk about critical..... I have come here since I was little and it is always been a staple. My father was recently up north and anytime he goes I ask him to stop at Mr. Foisies and get me some vegetarian pasties that are frozen and can eat later. When I ate eat when I was young I had the fresh hot beef ones and they were just as good. Directions on package are always right with temperature and time to cook in oven. They display all their ingredients and every time I have had the veggie pasties in the last couple years they have always been just as good. Flavorful, filling and nice tasting crust. Gets the perfect brown color. Always love this place and will always come back! Thank you. read more

Cute local shop. Their apple pie pasties are the best! Great for a take out or quick bite on your way through Cadillac as they have food ready to go. read more

After attempted to go here so many times and each time they were sold out I was able to get a pasty!! I opted for the vegetarian one because I had heard good things about it. It was so delicious!! The pasty cost $6.75. The crust was perfect soft and flaky. The filling was so flavor full and tasted delicious. I didn't even need ketchup or gravy as it had great flavor. The service is super quick, they have the pasties in an oven right by the register. There is also some seating, but I got mine to go. I will definitely be going back and would highly recommend as one of the best pasty places in the lower peninsula. It was better than the pasty I had in Munising (vegetarian one). read more

Support local and homemade! These pasties are a great meal after a long day on the slopes, ice fishing or snowmobiling. They're big, hearty and one is enough for one person. So so good!!! read more

In a word... phenomenal. The beef pasties were soooo good. Gravy was good too. Apple dumpling was equally as good. Large apple in the middle of delicious dough w frosting. read more

Just wonderful. I try to seek out pasties when I travel. I would not have thought to even look when coming to Cadillac to snowmobile. And then I saw this as we went to hotel. This was a great pastie. Super friendly staff too. read more
