Always fantastic. Has been for years. Fantastic and immediate service. Very nice and helpful staff. They have a great word of mouth reputation because they are so awesome. I always pick up a frozen or fresh pie with vegetables and some rolls whenever I’m in the area. You can buy them cooked . I believe you have to call ahead for that. Just call and ask. Deliciousl homemade Cranbury sauce, mashed potatoes and gravy plus desserts. Don’t miss out on this place whether visiting or if you live here. And please remember to say please and thank you to the staff. They really are top! Very helpful and always ready to help. I cannot think of a place with better people than this place. 10 ➕ Stars !

After watching their commercials on Phantom Gourmet for years, we finally stopped in to pick up one of their chicken pies to take back home to Canada. It stayed frozen for the 9hr drive and tonight we had it for dinner. Lots of chicken, potatoes and carrots in the pie. The gravy was tasty but we found it needed a little pepper and a touch of salt for seasoning. We all enjoyed it and now will have to wait another few years before our next roadtrip to the Boston area.

Was very excited to try the food here, and honestly am very confused because of all of the good reviews. I had gotten the chicken pot pie, mashed potatoes, gravy, Mac and cheese and an apple pie. Every single thing was absolutely horrible, my husband insisted the chicken in the pie was old, very old, the crusts were so thick but dry, mashed potatoes watery, no flavor at all, the gravy was disgusting and the macaroni so dry with a chemical taste. So basically it all went to the trash and also my money. Very very disappointing.

Really tasty chicken pies. Four sizes available with carrots and potatoes or no vegetables. A few side items such as rolls are also available. Six locations. Cold pies are cash and carry. If you want a pie ready to eat (heated) you need to call and pay in advance. They need about an hour lead time. Open 7 days a week.

It’s like everyone else says, “This place is awesome!” Included some pictures but you don’t know till you taste it. So good. Also was able to do curbside pickup which was perfect!

My wife, a Reading native, recommended this place as the ultimate chicken pie comfort food. Definitely worth a stop when in the area. Available for hot and ready, or freezer ready.

Honestly it was pretty bland – have definitely had better. Surprising considering the other reviews.

My favorite chicken pie since childhood! Always as delicious as remembered. I usually get the all-meat version although you can get it with vegetables included . The vegetable one is never overloaded with veggies and skimpy on chicken as I have found elsewhere. I just prefer to put my own choice of vegetables with it. A nice variety of sizes depending on your dinner plans. I just tried their blueberry pie which was excellent. I’m not a big fan of pie, but this one was really a good dessert.
