LOVE this place! We've tried almost all of their pies and they are all amazing as are the mashed potatoes and gravy. The restaurant itself is really cute and they've added some outdoor tables since there isn't indoor seating currently. Even better they now have frozen pies! read more

Waltzing Kangaroo - Frozen pies - Bakeries Near Me - Fort Collins, Colorado

I'm pretty obsessed with these pies, but have to rein it back a bit before I get too chunky! Oh my god, they are now serving them at Stodgy Brewing too.....it's a dream come true! I love the rosemary and lamb, the Guinness stew and the desserts are to die for. Oh...and the sausage and spinach rolls. Um, everything is amazing! read more

I don't know why I haven't already written a review. We were here last year for the eclipse and bought a slew of pies (worrying that we wouldn't be able to find food during this event). We ended up freezing some and taking them home. They freeze really nicely. The pie doesn't look that big - but they are packed with flavor. The lamb with rosemary and the steak with Guiness are just solid meat flavor - in a great way. But, they also have interesting other flavors - like Thai green curry vegetable. Or chicken in a cream sauce. Sausage rolls are very traditional. But, if you are not into meat - there is an excellent spinach roll. Desserts - I haven't tried. But, oh do they look fabulous. I watched someone eat an apple turnover that was also stuffed with cream. I don't think people should have that expression on their face in public. It was just too joyful! If I ever tire of savory - I am going to get that turnover and eat it in the privacy of my home! read more

This place is well-priced, delicious, and has friendly, prompt service. I got a Cornish Pasty (a weekly item) and the ground beef was well-seasoned, while the vegetables were tender and delicious. I could've done with a liiiiiittle more gravy, but they managed to pack so much into a single $6 pasty that I don't consider it a problem. The woman who helped me was actually Australian (bonus points) and though she was clearly training a new employee, handled all of my requests in an efficient manner. The interior was very clean and well-organized, and I can't wait to go back. read more

Just great quality Aussie food with friendly staff. It is every bit as good as the gourmet pie shops in Australia and the ability to order online and get delivery in bulk is great. read more

Great breakfast pie, and I am picky about my pie crust. The latte was excellent. I tried a sample of the salted Carmel slice--wowsers! The only downside is no outside seating read more

Nothing like a hot meat pie on a cold day! Whatever you do get the sweet potato mash! The chicken, bacon, avocado pie tastes a lot like a hot chicken melt with the exception of the amazing pie crust. read more

Waltzing Kangaroo - Bakeries Near Me - Fort Collins, Colorado

Good food, if a bit on the pricey end. Although the pies are good and they have a decent variety of pies, I think that a lot of the beef pies and the one lamb pie can taste pretty same-y. Though, I think this is more due to the nature of the dish than it is the fault of Waltzing Kangaroo. If they choose to make traditional Australian food, then they're taking on both that cuisine's strengths and weaknesses. I wish they could do some seasonal specialities every now and then to combat this issue or just have more variety of pies on the permanent menu. If you are in the mood for meat pies, they certainly don't disappoint given how well-packed each pie is and how tender the meat is. In the mornings, Waltzing Kangaroo has breakfast pies and they are pretty grab-and-go friendly. The sides are pretty yummy. The mash sweet potatoes, in particular, are incredibly light and fluffy. Everything is always made fresh, which is awesome. Love that they sell egg tarts. And I don't mention this often, but the interiors are stunning and modern. However, I personally dislike their Thai chicken pie a lot. People unfamiliar with Southeast Asian ingredients/food theory tend to abuse the peanut sauce (there's a reason it's traditionally only used for dipping). It's the same as putting guacamole or pico on anything and calling it "Mexican" without regard to its culinary applications or flavor balance. For that reason, I think it is the worst thing on the menu. 15% of Australians are of Asian descent, so if they were doing it as a homage to that demographic, I think Waltzing Kangaroo can do better. Waltzing Kangaroo undoubtedly tries, and there's no denying they use high quality ingredients for their food and cook with love. It is perfect if you want a quick bite and be in and out in just a few minutes and serviced by friendly folks. Not to mention, they add much-needed variety to the food scene in Fort Collins. What holds it back, in my eyes, is that some of their pies are same-y tasting. But it's simple, down-to-earth Australian fare made with care. 3.90/5 stars. Recommended. read more

yummy yummy comfort food. sausage roll was delicious, the pie of the month (the stroganoff) was delicious, as was the steak, gravy, and pepper. i shared with my boyfriend and left very satisfied. read more

Food was fantastic! Prices are reasonable. I highly recommend eating here if you want something easy and delicious. There isn't much seating available inside so take out is your best bet. read more

Great restaurant with interesting food options. We all loved what we're ordered especially the specialty coffees add breakfast items. Actually everything was great and I would definitely recommend trying them out. read more

The Waltzing Kangaroo has been one of my absolute favorite restaurants in Fort Collins for 4+ years, but some recent changes are not great. The extremely reduced hours make it very difficult for professionals and students who are busy during the middle of the day to purchase food here and many of my favorite items, like the steak, cheese, & bacon pie, egg custard tart, chicken & Thai peanut sauce pie, and breakfast pies have been removed from the menu or are now only available during one month out of the entire year. Don't get me wrong, the pies they do still offer are very good. I want to continue purchasing food here to support them during this time, but the new hours and removal of my favorites make it difficult. I understand they needed to change things up to survive COVID, but I'm really hoping to see Waltzing Kangaroo return to its former glory in the future. read more

Most authentic Australian food in Fort Collins, they have a pretty good selection of pies along with some tasty side dishes. The space is clean and well kept and the workers are always very nice read more

I just tried this place for the first time and I was absolutely impressed. The meat pies are perfectly baked, as well as the dessert pies. And the staff is so kind as well. Not only that but the place is so clean with such a welcoming ambiance. I highly recommend this place and look forward to going again!!! read more

Doesn't play well with Grub Hub. It was a meeting that went into the lunch hour and we ordered 8 lunches but only 7 arrived. They "tried" to make it right but said that Grub Hub refused to bring the eighth meal. Really? Somebody decided that saving a few dollars was worth losing 8 regular customers. read more

Sooooo, Soooo, GOOD!!!! First time in today, service was great! Had the Steak peppery pie!! Great coffee. I highly recommend a visit. read more

What a special place! It's small, quaint and clean. They specialize in meat pies. I didn't know what "meat pies" were until I visited them and am definitely a fan! They offer a huge variety... I had the chicken and white cheese with a side of mashed potatoes and I was a happy camper. They offer different meats and vegetarian options in addition to fun dessert pies too. The food comes out quickly and it's perfect if you're in a hurry. There is indoor seating but it is limited (but turns quickly). Parking is hectic so plan on coming during non-peak times is ideal. read more

I discovered this place a couple of weeks ago. It specializes in Australian "meat pies." (Think chicken pot pie taken to an excellent level!) If you haven't experienced these pies, get over there! The pies come in lots of filling flavors: meats, curry, creamy, vegetables, and of course chicken! I've tried the green curry (a bit salty), chicken and a beef. Really, really good. Crispy crust that is thick and yummy. I also tried an apple turnover. It must have been great because I didn't wake up until the next day! They are in a small storefront west of the CSU campus near the Kinkos copy shop. Spacious feeling. Some seating. I did carry out, which was no-hassle and efficient. Very friendly staff! I was surprised by the low-ish prices for pies. Very reasonable so I took some home for dinner. read more

Delicious lamb pie and steak with pepper gravy pie. Flaky crust, though a bit too thick. Price is about right. Sweet potatoes were a decent side. Lemon custard pie was too sweet, but the pecan pie was awesome. read more

I love meat pies and this place definitely fulfilled the craving. That's what I get for watching the Great British Bake-Off. Pies were delicious to me and I loved their special which was the honey chili duck pie. Also tried the Chicken Thai Peanut, Steak & Gravy, and Steak & Guiness. I thought they were all pretty tasty, except the Thai Peanut. It was a little meh. We also got some fruit tarts and an egg custard tart. I loved the fruit tart. I am accustomed to Chinese-style egg tarts so the egg one was kind of weird to me. Not sure I liked the nutmeg on it. My friend found the pies to be a little heavy. The "gravy" in them was not oozy like a chicken pot pie. Definitely firmer which she didn't like. I can understand that which is why I included it here. Overall would definitely go again. Was stuck between giving 4 or 5 stars, but ended up with 4 because the Thai Peanut was really not good. read more

A recent trip to Australia having turned me on to meat pies, I swore to try Waltzing Kangaroo as soon as possible back at home. I was delighted to discover their pies are as good if not better than those I tried in Sydney, with the crust being truly sublime. And the profiteroles! Nearly as good as Paris! The real kicker to all of this is that I was able to get it delivered, and that it travels quite well too. read more

Amazing meat pies - and veggie offerings ! I've been a fan of meat pies since going to the U.K. and this establishment is tops for the quality of the food and the amazing selection - The sides are also fantastic - mushy peas - mashers - wow! My fav is the lamb pie and the curry options! I'll be back - again and again! read more

Everything in here is so good! This places is definitely a must visit in Fort Collins. Their selection of pies is so varied and all of the one I've tried are a delicious choice. My favorite one is the Cottage Pie, although that one is seasonal, is so good!! read more

We loved the meat pies! We have tried them all and they are all delicious. We loved the pork green chile this month. Fillings are full of meat and delicious sauce, but isn't runny the way some places make them. The pastry crust is delicious. We will be back - the frozen pies are a great option for a convenient meal too! read more

Fantastic little shop!! I cant rate the pies yet because I've only had dessert but the pies sure looked amazing. "Meat pies" don't sound very appealing but they looked SO good! The desserts are rich and delicate and some are definitely big enough for two!! The guys working were incredibly nice and down to earth. They were really good at telling us the most popular items and explaining what everything was. The coffee was spot on! Great microfoam, smooth beans, with GREAT flavor! definitely show this new place support! It's amazing! read more

Having passed the Waltzing Kangaroo a couple times, I was fairly curious. I went in for lunch and am so glad I did. I tried as much as my friend and I could: the lamb and rosemary pie, Guinness steak and mushroom pie, fruit tart, espresso chocolate ganache tart, and a flat white. It was all easily some of the best food I've had in a while. The meat in the pies is so tender it melts in your mouth. The gravy is flavorful and rich. The tarts are decedent. Everything was amazing! Between the great food, close location to CSU, good prices, and simple atmosphere, I'd recommend the Waltzing Kangaroo to anyone. read more

We had a fun dinner here. There were a couple of vegetarian pies available, I had the Thai Peanut which was really good. The crust is flakey perfection and I loved the peanut sauce on the veggies. I'll definitely be back! read more

Not what I expected. I didn't find any Kangaroos in there. But we found a lot of pies. We ordered the pork with green chili and south western steak. Of course we ordered the egg tart and coffee infused chocolate for dessert. It's so inexpensive. We enjoyed the lunch very much. read more

Stopped on our drive around Colorado ... Wow, simply amazing pies A must stop. The Guinness Pie, mashed peas and sweets was off the charts good! Directly across from CSU campus read more

My first time here and so far I'm very impressed! I walked in and was greeted almost immediately, and was asked if it was my first time there. She kindly walked me through the basics, which was helpful. They seemed to have a decent selection of savory pies, and I settled on the chicken satay. Yum! It was phenomenal! The crust was really flaky and the filling very flavorful. It was also fun watching the people work in the back - it looks like they make everything from scratch. They also had a pretty decent dessert and drink selection - something for me to try next time! Reasonably priced, yummy comfort food. I could see myself coming back a lot in the future! read more

Very good. They had a nice selection of bottled beers and soda as well. I really enjoyed the sweet potato mash the most but the flaky crust on the pie was amazing. Will be going back here again. Wondering if they make full size pecan pies...... read more

Really yummy eats here! Friendly staff, excited about their food. Try the mushy peas with your pie. I wish more people would stay and eat, it's a nice space in a convenient location. I always stop by when I'm passing through the area. read more

The food was so good. We ordered the lamp and rosemary pie, the chicken curry pie, the pork chilli pie, the steak and gravy.

I've been wanting to try this place for a long time now since it's a Aussie Pie place. That's Pot Pies folks, but they do have much more. With a big selection of meat, and some veggie, pies (13 plus the monthly special), there is plenty to choose from. I chose the Guinness, Steak, and Mushroom with a side of mashers with gravy. I was met by a pot pie stuffed to the bone with beef and mushrooms in a thick, savory gravy. The crust was light and flaky but held together amazingly well. The mashers was buttery and smooth, and the brown gravy was a little salty but still a great addition. For a $13 meal that includes a bottle of Pure Leaf tea, I thought it was a great deal. The desserts here are amazing as well. Made fresh every day, they feature tarts in fruit, chocolate, plus profiterole (my favorite). Conveniently located on Elizabeth right across from CSU. Parking in the center is limited but I found a spot easily. And, if you can't make it, the GrubHub sticker on he window means it can also be delivered. I will for sure be returning to the place that brings a piece of Australian foodie culture to FoCo. read more

Great addition to the FoCo food scene. I tried both the veggie satay and veggie mornay pies and they were great. The puff pastry crust was flaky and delicious. The filling was great; a variety of veggies and the ratio of veggies to sauce was perfect. Customer service was quick and friendly. I can't wait to go back! read more
