    Rosemary lamb on the left, veggie cheese on the right.
    Justice H.

    My spouse and I went to Waltzing Kangaroo a few days ago for the first time and it lived up to the hype. I got a veggie cheese pie. My spouse originally wanted something that was out and got a rosemary lamb pie instead. Both pies were GREAT! My spouse was concerned that the rosemary would be too much but it wasn't; I tried some of the lamb and it was so tender. My pie was excellent, too; the potatoes were soft, the gravy reminded me of chicken pot pie without the chicken. The crust was flaky and crispy, the flavors were great. I also got a chai latte which was good too and my spouse got a bottled rootbeer. Service was prompt and friendly. We definitely hope to be back.

    Latte and Beef Stroganoff.

    I love their pies here! 2 months ago I got one of each of their pies to go, and they were so good that I forgot to take pics of them before devouring. This time, I just got the Beef Stroganoff and a latte before work. Very tasty, with a crust that's always flaky. Will have to come here more often to try their various recipes. Even though they serves savory pies, the place gives off a cafe feel. Just a bunch of stools with small 2 seated tables outside. The cashier was the barista, and she was very great.

    Sausage Roll

    I adore this place. I don't mean to jump the gun, but if I were a local, I'd come here often. The pastries are fantastic; I love the sausage roll. The pies were flakey and flavorful, sadly I only got to try one during my stay, but I hope to come back given the chance. But nonetheless the pie with the steak was nice and savory, which makes me want to try them all. I also got one of their profiteroles and it was the perfect and not overly sweet and airy. I tried a few bites, seeing how the pastries and pie filled me up, but when I finished it later, that dessert held its own. Anyways, I came on the wrong day, let me tell you that. Do not go when there is a big event such as a football game because you will exhaust yourself through parking finding. The parking isn't super small, but it isn't big either, some days can be way busier than others. The staff here were nice and helpful when telling me what the recent popular pies were, they do have new ones now and again. They also sell frozen ones you can bring home and enjoy when the time strikes.

    This place is so delicious. We were recommended to go by a friend and had no regrets. The pies are so flavorful and the apple turnover was insanely delicious. Must try place in ft collins.

    Service was friendly Ambiance was ok the seating is a little weird, but happy that you have the option to sit - just don't stay long as the seats are super low except for the ones by the window Food idk I thought it was just ok ‍ but others might love it. I just enjoy very flavorful foods and these ones felt very mild in flavor. Just my personal opinion. the crust is the best part. Super buttery and flaky! Chicken and cheese was our least favorite. It tasted very plain. The least flavorful of them all. I'd skip this unless you want a very mild taste. Lamb and rosemary was my fave. Tons of flavor. Steak and pepper was good. Shepherd pie tasted like you'd expect. It was nice to try and I'd recommend people try it at least once, but for me personally I won't be craving to come back anytime soon.

    Apple Turnover and Chicken and Broccoli Pie
    Elise C.

    This place is still serving warm, tasty pies! I love the vibe, too--some people are in for their regular cold pies (to go), others are grabbing hot pies (to go), and there's the little seating bar for those who want to eat a hot pie (right now). The chicken and broccoli was the flavor of the month, so I tried it out. It was awesome. Warm, savory, and stuffed with fillings, that flaky pastry was complemented perfectly. I also tried out the apple turnover. It was great--sweet but not overly so, it also carried a wholesome feel. I guess that's because the Kangaroo makes everything fresh in-house. So good.

    My work from home lunch - the last of my frozen WK pies and some farm share veg ... gotta go back soon to restock the freezer!

    The Waltzing Kangaroo is definitely one of those local spots I really hope to see make it through the pandemic - their quiches are the best I have ever had and their savory Australian pies are a lunchtime favorite of mine. I'm happy to say that I'm pretty confident that they will survive based upon some shrewd business decisions they have made. Let's start with how they handled the early days of the pandemic -- they closed. For 2 months. When they reopened, they had installed plexiglass barriers between the server and patron, and were open for very limited hours. They are open more regular hours now, but have installed freezers for grab & go frozen pies, and have developed an online business to ship frozen pies across the US. I love how they have turned the disruptive early days of COVID-19 into a business opportunity that will continue to pay dividends long after we are on the other side of the regular lockdowns and shifting public health policies. It's great being able to stock my freezer with their pies, which I tend to do when their "pie of the month" is a particular fave. I just had my last turkey cranberry brie - November's pie of the month - for lunch, and then swung by after work to pick up some green chile pork (January) and Thai green curry chicken (February) pies to stock the freezer back up. They are a business I do not think twice about supporting, since their no-drama response to the COVID-19 challenges gives me confidence that they are minimizing transmission risks. I do miss the "normal times," when they had a few other things on the menu (quiche! mashed sweet potatoes!) and there was time to linger over a perfectly pulled flat white, but we'll get there in the not-too-distant future and I'm sure Waltzing Kangaroo will still be with us.

    When out of town, I am a real pain and insist on dining only at places I cannot normally patronize (that means no chains EVER), and hopefully with a style of food not available in my hometown. Searching for a quick lunch in Fort Collins and seeing Australian food, I immediately set my heart on Waltzing Kangaroo 'cause Australian food isn't all that common. The shopping center in which WK is located is kind of wonky, with one way entrances and exits, and limited parking. We ended up passing it, driving around the block, and almost missing it a second time. Whew! Just be on alert! We entered to a bit of a line, but it moved so fast because everything is truly ready! It is all under heat lamps, but still fresh, and the longest part of the process was customers making their decision. I think, as of late, WK may have limited their selections a smidge, but we had about six or so choices of pies (they have standards and a monthly special ($8 each or less), plus sausage rolls ($4.60) , and sides (mushy peas, mashed potatoes, gravy $3.50 or less). There were also profiteroles, and a variety of coffee-based beverages, tea, hot chocolate, and soft drinks. Currently, no seating inside, but they did have a couple bistro tables out front. The meat pies are lovely: buttery and flaky and so rich! I could not finish my veg and cheese. On the other hand, my husband downed both the beef stroganoff pie and most of a sausage roll (with a loose ground sausage filling, not cased). We were on the go, and the pie is so solid it was surprisingly easy to eat in the car, though you will drop flakes of crust all over. #worthit Now, Imma just be real with you. As good as the pies were (and they were really, really good), I could take 'em or leave 'em compared with the MUSHY PEAS! I had considered a double order, and then when I opened my box, found the serving so large I was glad I didn't go through with that...but then I munched them all up and would have easily consumed a lunch of peas alone! They are so creamy, not too smooth with a pleasing texture, and this sort of meaty/super savory flavor. I have tried to replicate them at home, but to no avail. Waltzing Kangaroo, if you are reading this, please share the recipe so I can go on living happily. Fort Collins had many good-looking options, but I am so happy we went with Waltzing Kangaroo. If I have the chance, I will absolutely return. Oh! And they sell their wares frozen, and they can even be shipped!

    I am giving them 5 stars for the frozen pies I brought home to cook myself! This food is simply delicious. They provide instructions for cooking in an air fryer which is really nice. I might start buying 3-4 per week now!

    See all
