My friend and I just happened to drive by this place on the way to our hotel. We didn't want to stay in the room because it was gross, so we went to get a slice of pie. The line was long but it moved fast and the pie was well worth the wait!

We were advised to have pie at this establishment. After a very good lunch we did have pie and ice cream which was excellent. Friendly and fun staff. Purple is there passion.

A great and changing assortment of pies. You can have yours a la mode, but plain is great also. Not sure what a food critic would say about the crust, etc but we thought it was a fun little local shop. The line was quite long when we went, but after checking out the pies, we decided it was worth... More

The rhubarb pies and bumbleberry pies are warm and generous portions. You can have your fresh pie with ice cream. You can also have a sit-down meal with a menu.

Seriously, this is a must stop for anyone with a twinge of curiosity, a few extra minutes, a few bucks to spend on desert, and a lover of homemade pie. Forget the rest of the menu. This place is there for indulging in pie. Play out whatever pie fantasy you have (as long as it is legal). Try at least... More

I live 400 miles from the Black Hills, but I could easily drive up for a weekend to eat here if I was't diabetic; maybe it's a good thing it's so far away. The selection is phenomenal, but my favorite is rhubarb, and they always have it. They even have one called "Bumbleberry pie"; a combination of several different fruits.... More

We could not resist stopping here when we drove through. The whole building is purple with pink trim so you HAVE to want to check it out. They have deli type food available, but it is pretty expensive, the portions are small and it is not really all that note worthy. The pie on the other hand was delicious. Everyone... More
