i am craving a really good pie this weekend, and i don't know of any places that make really good ones.

don't say yatla because they have gone to s*** since they changed owners.

something within say 15 20 mins of carindale cannon hill area. but i am willing to go anywhere if they are great
cheers

good little place at everton park.
i mean i wont rave on about them but who does rave about a pie....

near coles at everton plaza. sweetie pies or something.

best ive had for a long time.

I've been dieing for a good sausage roll for years.
Everyone these days sells the s***-meat-flavoured-bread-dough-rolls. Even "up market" bakeries like Brumby's.

Many I don't even finish, I just throw it to the dog they are so vile. And this is coming from someone who'd eat anything that was put in front of him.
In past times I've decided to make home made Sausage rolls. Use mince or even a sausage and roll in pastry. Cook until ready. It's so friggin easy I can't understand that so many bakeries use these s*** reheat frozen factory rolls.

The quality of pies and sausage rolls has plummeted. The worst are uneatable.
So sad

uneatable or ineatable?

ive been hooked on big dads recently, not as big as the yatla ones, but just the right size that you can still eat them from the hand, and get a good feed from them

yeah im with lynx, i dont understand why someone doesnt just make great pies and sausage rolls out of REAL mince and stuff.. it seems so easy! sure it might cost a little more to make, but not THAT much more, and you'd sell em like hotcakes(/pies?!)

There's a pie shop next to the Pinkenba Pub, I go there wheneva I can when I'm at work nearby... Fantastic pies, not very local but if your in the area, i'd definitely stop in. It's on Kingsford Smith Drive on the left hand side next to the Pinkenba Pub travelling away from the city.

sargeants from your supermarket

i know what you mean. i can cook a pie easy so why is it so hard for bakerys and s*** to make good pies.

yatla pies use to be the best full of meat but now it is a single piece of meat in the whole f***ing thing. but i will admit the pastry is one of the best

theres some place at ormiston over the road from tomato brothers, shares the joint with a fish mob. Best pepper steak pies ever.

Steak, bacon, and cheese pies from the night owl in Enoggera, Best Ever.

as sad as it is, the best sausage roll ive had in as long as I can remember came from the BP servo right near breakfast creek.

Before that, there was this french (run by vietnamese peoples, because they learnt from the french) bakery on racecourse road that basically made sausage meat inside a f***ing crazy amount of puff (like the thickness of the meat all the way around, once it was cooked) that totally owned everything but ownership changed and they got scungy :(

I have come to the conclusion that good meat pies just dont exist. The meat pies you get at the aforementioned BP near breakfast creek that has one of those oven prepared semi-bakery-delivered deals are just as nice as the pie I had for dinner tonight (last night I guess) from http://www.jocelynsprovisions.com.au/Home.html - which costs way more and is in centro in the valley (so up-market I guess)

northmaid pies are tops

frozen sargeants are wonderful

chop the top off, mix the meat with tomato sauce, spread evenly over the lid, allow to cool and devour with a knife and fork. yumbo.

mmm cow scrot

Ray's Bakery Geebung (opposite the railway). Has won prizes for his pies.

steak and guiness pie at new farm markets!

I'd have to agree with the general concensus of pies being s*** these days. I just can't buy pies anywhere anymore, I can't get through one without having to spit out chunks of grisle and fat.

The only pies I'd buy are from Buck's bakery in Landsbrough. It's a little bakery just oposite the train station. Yeah, it's not local but it's handy to just make a slight detour if you're doing something on the Sunny coast. Or you could just make a $12 train ride there. Like most other places though, their quality has degraded a bit over the years, they're still good but not as good as they used to be.

As for sausage rolls, the BP/IGA in Milton (the one next to Kennards and Maccas) used to sell awesome sausage rolls. The pastry was all crumbly and puffy and the meat was tasty and pretty good quality. I think they've changed companies or the company they use has changed their recipe cos they're s*** now, the pastry is like cardboard and the meat is kinda bland and crap.

The best pies I've ever had are ones made by my dad, he makes the best steak pies EVAR.

i bought a really great pie from a place at toowoomba.

bastard gave me food poisoning. never eating pies again.

food poisoning then the cold is the worst (apart from things you go to a doc for)

its inedible

Plus one for Big Dad's pies.

cat & fiddle deli on morley st toowong

lamb & rosemary pie is sex

yatala pies down the coast & the bakery @ dayboro ftw.

2nd what obes said. Ray's Hot Bread across the road from the 'bung train station. Thumbs up.

"king of cakes" at st. lucia gailey 5-ways shops is excellent.

Their sausage rolls are the best $2. Their pies are very good too $3.20. They sell out by early arvo every day though so u gotta get in quick.

Freedom fuels at 8 Mile Plains use to make the best sausage rolls, I'd always get them as soon as they come out of the oven (about 3am).

big dad's ftw

Le cock is also correct. (Its a German bakery, I believe they have another store over the other side of the river somewhere Graceville? Sherwood? ). Be warned tho I rekon its a popular place for men to take men to ... not that there is any thing wrong with that... and not that I noticed until the girlfriend pointed it out.

But I'd rate Ray's as better.

On a scale

s***ty ones that have been sitting in the servo pie warmer for 2 days


There is another pie shop out at Kilcoy that does woodfired pies that are pretty awesome. But that doesn't help the original poster.

yeah I forget the name but that one at Kilcoy is pretty famous for its pies

Big Dad's - they do this sausage roll which is like a hot dog sausage with cheese, sweet chilli sauce and some other stuff, f***in tastes great.

yeah dayboro bakery isn't too shabby, stopped in there a number of times en route to mt mee state forest

Most farmers markets have a pie stall... proper homemade pies from the lady of the house, can not beat it.

Homemade jam FTW also.

Any Big Dad's Pie shop makes a decent pie.

Around Logan I'd say Abbotts Bakery (Same road as Logan Diggers RSL) for personal Pie's.

I've been dieing for a good sausage roll for years.

The ones at the UQ Bakery are pretty good imho. But im easy to please.

big dads at clayfield. but i just wish they didnt have the vegetables in the pepper steak pie.
i dont like healthy things with my offal.

this thread has made me hungry. i want PIE BITCH PIE

Stockman's Pies on Oxford St @ Bulimba. Same complex as Celebrations Liquor and the Bank of QLD

stockmans pies man lol. I went there as a kid and me mate got a paperclip in his pie. I know this was like 10 years ago but I still remember that s*** and hold it against them.

That's because they all come from the same place, the pies are delivered to the stores daily.

Big Dad's - they do this sausage roll which is like a hot dog sausage with cheese, sweet chilli sauce and some other stuff, f***in tastes great.

Its called a smokey and its f***ing incredible :)

Also big dads get the pie shells and produce delivered and actually make the pies and cook them in each store, not mass produced. At least the one at Mango Hill does it that way. Also, their apple pies are aweeesome.

They're under new management now, they were closed for several months and reopened about 4 months ago.

At least the one at Mango Hill does it that way.

Yep, that's my favourite Big Dad's store.

Nice location, just pop in and out.

uneatable or ineatable?

If you still care, the word is inedible.

another vote for big dads pies

finnucane rd(old cleveland rd) as you come into cleveland on the left where red rooster is. mean ass sausage rolls including bacon & cheese and also spinach cheese (fetta?)

I still think Yatala are the bomb.

If you live near Indooroopilly or the James St Market, there's a bakery called French Twist. They do BITCHIN' sausage rolls and their meat pies are pretty good too.

Good pie?

"French Twist" is a franchise. 2 of them in Chermside. 1 at Carindale I think ?

Their bowl of chocolate is awesome. The pies etc are decent, Big Dad's standard imo. Most of their sweet stuff looks better then it tastes.

At christmas they make millions of gingerbread houses...

Big Nads pies are best

even tho they're getting expensive now.

pepper steak ftw

Thanks Eds - I never even thought to try the Apple Pie until today and f*** me sideways with a pitchfork it's unbelievable. Bake that pie and then serve with a bit of a custard and you have a real winner on your hands.

Also, no Smokeys at at Big Dad's today - not very happy :(

The most important question of this thread is who has the best hair pie?

Also where is Big Dad's situated anyway?

I've never heard of big dads pies either. Any on the inner-west side?

I drive past big dad's at mango hill on my way to work every morning and think to myself, hmm franchise, probably s*** and just keep driving.

You'd be wrong then, they are quite awesome, especially out at Mango Hill.

Locations fellows:
http://www.bigdadspies.com.au/locations.htm

Sweet there's one near me!

Well I really don't care as it is because it is a pie place, and whenever I drive passed I'm on my way somewhere so I don't have time to stop. And I'm not going to go out of my way to buy a pie.

too many alternators to fix, so little time

holy s***, they're getting huge.... look how many stores they got now...


anyways back on topic... pie is s*** unfullfilling food... yeah c***s its gronk food.

Don't you have a pole to run into s***c***?

Why post in a pie thread then?

Yatala pies used to be good, gone way downhill. Mango Hill bp has ok pies, as well as this little bakery place at geebung.

i reeled me in a big one

big dads ftw

also sargents smotherd in sweet chili sauce go down well!

I remember Yatala pies probably 6 or 7 years before they built their new large store... the cottage pie was brutal, for 50 cents extra you got like 5cm layer of REAL mash potato.

Have they gotten smaller at all? One pie on an empty stomach used to fill you up.

Their bowl of chocolate is awesome. The pies etc are decent, Big Dad's standard imo. Most of their sweet stuff looks better then it tastes.

their pain au chocolate sure are s*** compared to real parisien pastries. I got back from spending 6 weeks in france, bought one from there and could not even finish it. But s***, their sausage rolls are the bomb.

so cultured.

The bakery at the IGA in Milton

Yeah, these pies sell out pretty quick. They never used to be that great but they've gotten better in the last year or two.

"king of cakes" at st. lucia gailey 5-ways shops is excellent.

Hmm, I may have to go past there...

I once ate a pie. then I told QGL. now all I have is this s***ty thread.

see im not a fan of the breakfast pies at the bakery near IGA at milton, in fact i havent been a fan of any breakfast pies apart from the ones from the 24 Hour SPAR at logan (bryants road)

I just noticed the other day the IGA I was refering to is infact a Spar. It's the one next to maccas and Kennard's.

That is all.

see im not a fan of the breakfast pies at the bakery near IGA at milton...

I don't think I've ever had a breakfast pie (never knew such a thing existed tbh) but the steak pies there are good.

afternoon pies are bad enough

stop keeping this thread up top! everytime i see it it makes me wanna hit the bakery!

breakfast pie is generally

steak, bacon, cheese, and a fried egg

big dad puts onion through their big dads special, but what makes the logan SPAR ones so good, is the egg is the top, theres no pastry above it. just base, steak, bacon, egg, and cheese on top.

zomg so good
