My favorite place to eat breakfast (day or night) when I’m in Houston. Friendly staff with great service and great food. The prices are very reasonable also.
Always Great!
The best cheddar cheese omelette I've ever eaten! And Tyler was an excellent server. Very attentive. I don't get down here often, but we always try to stop here.
Delicious desserts
A great place to stop for desserts, pies or cakes, after eating at nearby restaurants. Across the street from the original Carrabba's and Gracie's and near Pappadeaux's. Diner type setting.
Wide variety of pies, all looked wonderful and appealing. I had purchased the French black bottom& the pecan pie, which were both a hit. Would recommend to anybody.
Houston landmark and late night icon. Recently cleaned up and updated, but same greasy diner menu and desserts. Outstanding and large list of pies to order to go, so good for parties, holidays, and gifts.
Don't let the name fool you, while they do have some of the best pies in the city the food menu is also really great after a night on the town. The Patty melt is heavenly! And the french silk pie is a must have.
Simply the best pie I've ever had! I had the Strawberry and Rhubarb Pie, perfectly cooked, mild sweetness, such a flakey crust from end to end. Nothing better than this right here!
After a long absence from daily life in Houston, I've been back a lot in the past couple of months due to illness of an elderly parent. In the past 4 weeks, I've been here three times at all different hours day and night. Still one of the best feel good diners out there, the God and pies are like stepping back into 1974...and I like that! Service is coffee shop friendly (meaning you get what you give--for those with service issues--a smile and a polite request goes a long way here.). Eggs any style with a side of Potatoes O'Brien which rock here, along with great fish and chips and chicken fried chicken sandwich. All pies are good--I love the French Blackbottom! It's a classic place...
Cherry pie is too gelatin, not enough whole cherries. The Fresh strawberry pie was excellent, huge berries, perfect crust, lots of whip cream.
Service is horrible.
What a great place...reminds of the great diners in New Jersey. The food is fresh and tasty and never seen so many great pies. Had the chocolate meringue pie! Yummy!
Strawberry cheesecake to die for!. I love their desserts, especially strawberry cheesecake, but also their tuna melt is so good, service is great most of the time too! I'm always up for going here =)
Almost Fifty years in Houston. This Houston based establishment has been serving the best pies and breakfast items in the Bayou City since 1963 when much of the city was still wheat fields. They have dozens of delicious pies to choose from and their breakfast dishes no not disappoint. My roommates and I make it a point to eat here at least twice a month, as we ate at the Westheimer location more often when we used to live down the street from it. The old diner atmosphere and the 24 hour open service makes House of Pies a tasty and filling retreat.
Also, their whole pies are the perfect purchase for Thanksgiving.
Hash brown heaven. Love this place. Nice & casual. Always busy. Always great service.
Ham & eggs! Yum. The star, for me, is the hash browns. Nice & brown (crispy) on the outside. Tender on the inside. Early Sunday morning, before the crowds, is a great time to have breakfast & read the paper.
Liked it but disappointed by "Bayou Goo". I recently moved to Houston and made my second trip to the House of Pies yesterday. First time I had peach pie a la mode. It was pretty good except I didn't find the crust up to par. It was roughly the quality of what I'd expect from something I bought frozen at the grocery store.
Yesterday, I wasn't sure exactly what I was in the mood for so I tried their best-selling Bayou Goo pie. Judging by its description, I was expecting something along the lines of Mississippi Mud pie: a chocolate layer, cream cheese, whipped cream, etc. While there was a "chocolate layer" its flavor was lacking. I was expecting a rich chocolate flavor but the color of the chocolate layer bordered on gray and the flavor and texture was just as drab.
Still, I look forward to trying breakfast and lunch there. I think I will stick mainly to fruit pies in the future.
A Houston Classic. A college student's haven. Really good prices, open 24/7, and the food is good diner fare. In the interest of full disclosure, I must say that I had a bad experience once (seriously bad service once, and bad food the month following hurricane Ike), but that was one out of dozens of times with no problems. With the exception of that one time, the service is always very friendly and warm. I am very comfortable recommending this beloved eatery.
Omg. I come here too much. Very diverse crowd throughout the day. Awesome AWESOME AWESOME AWWEEEESOME FOOD, and INSANELY AMAZZZZZZZZINGGGGGG PIE. go there.

Fun Late Night Place. Great Pies and an interesting crowd.
Great selection. What a find and a treat for Houston to have this place, especially since it's 24/7. I'm a dessert freak, and I love going to a place where I get to choose from about 30 pies, of which I'd love to try about 20. I ended up trying the house specialty, the Bayou Goo, and a cocoanut custard. The Bayou Goo has a nice crust, and a chocolate mousse kind of filling, topped with whipped cream. It was very good, not too sweet. Both are good, but I deem the cocoanut custard better of the two; it was full of shredded cocoanut and was very flavorful and satisfying. The chocolate cookies looked so good, the manager gave me a couple for the road. I had one at home, and appreciate the chewiness, and semi-sweet chocolate with some nut. I rate the cookies a 4.5/5. The pies were $3.50 each. There is a full menu available for dining in, but there was a lot of to go business.
A legendary Houston diner. House of Pies is the first place I come when I've been away from Houston, and I always order one of three things: a tuna melt, which is served on homemade herb bread; fish and chips, which are beer battered, or blueberry pancakes, which are amazing, and available at whatever hour you might want them.
Of course, the pies are amazing, too. Try the Bayou Goo:
"A pecan crust with a layer of sweet cream cheese,then a layer of vanilla custard swirled with chocolate chunks and topped with whipped cream and chocolate shavings." Yum!
It gets pretty packed when the bars close, and the waitresses can be sticklers about the $2.50 per person per hour minimum--you can't just work on a cup of coffee for hours--but it's worth a visit for the people watching and the 24-hour chatter.
A Houston landmark. I don't think that any late night outing would be complete without a trip to House of Pies at the end. Its a classic diner place with everything you would expect for breakfast lunch and dinner. They have every pie you can imagine and some that you can't! Always leave room for desert!
Awesome Pies. 3:00AM, hungry for pie, this is the place. Whatever the time, if you want pie, House of Pies won't disappoint.
This is a long time favorite midnight and later eatery. The exotic crowds you would see at this place around 2am made it something of a legend in these parts. A good portion of the late nighters were people from the Montrose district..
Classic diner style restaurant with a variety of breakfast, lunch, and dinner options, as well as a kids menu. The coffee is fairly light, so if you like strong coffee, this one isn't for you, but the food is very good and the staff is really friendly.
This was our first visit, it was fairly okay, won't be returning.
The food was hot and the service was good. I had a piece of Turtle Cheese cake, it was good. My chicken fried chicken was salty and fried too hard.
Glad I finally had a chance to visit.
Stopped by for breakfast and tried their recommend eggs-adilla (quesadilla w eggs). Friendly service and welcoming atmosphere. Inside reminded me of an old fashioned breakfast dinner. Pies per slice is about ~ $4 - $5 and there is a grand selection from savory to sweet. Tried their lemon meringue, Dutch apple, French silken (chocolate mousse), and coconut creme pies. All very delicious and it was hard to choose a favorite. Looking forward to stopping by again for some sweets the next time we’re in town!
Came here for coffee and pie. The pie was great as always. A little bit hard getting a refill of decaf, but I eventually got a refill. It was also clear that our server was ready for us to leave sooner than we were, but the pie was worth the pressure.
If you want a slice of pie (actually no matter in what state you are) this is the place to devour one!
Soo many options and if I would live in Houston I would make sure to have a top three and try them all!
They were perfect, just as you would imagine a delicious pie!
Really nice service, the lady at the entrance helped us choose just two options!
Get the fruit pie warm, as advised, it was even better if I can even say that!
Love the huge menu. Have breakfast all day. Great service. Big fan of the tuna melt!
Ordered pies for thanksgiving this year and was pleasantly surprised ! They tasted great even 2 days later and the packaging was done really well. Will probably use again next year!
They're not kidding when they say "slice made in heaven".. not only is the pie magnificent (I had the chocolate cream+mousse), but the food, service, and atmosphere is incredible. Food was fresh and tasty, seasoned very well. My fries were crunchy on outside soft on inside, and my fiances hash browns had cheese not only on top, but in the center too which was VERY appreciated!! This will be our new regular spot, 12/10.
Best place to get meringue pies, chocolate, coconut, and lemon. The pecan pie is also a great choice.
This is place is great! Chairs are too close with each other. However, staff are friendly and nice. It's a pie place, you have to tip staff for atleast 3.95 per person as per their sign! As many maybe people will just hang out there. I ordered banana split it was pretty good. I also bought 3 different kinds of pies which cost usd15 which is a decent price for a good pie. I will highly recommend this place. I hope they will redecorate the area and improve the ambiance but other than that, I cannot complain!!
Really nice the staff was nice our waiter was a little strange not much for talking she just kinda stood there until we said what we wanted. The food was good didn't have any ketchup for our hash brown.
Our daughter took us there during our visit. Our seasoned waitress did a fabulous job. She was one step ahead. The food was hot and really good. We couldn't leave without having pie. We were so glad we did- the pie was wonderful. We had blueberry, Chocolate banana cream, and pumpkin. My daughter has had the Bayou Goo pie and said it too is fantastic.
Hands down to the best pumpkin pie we have ever had. I went to this place after reading reviews on the best pumpkin pies Houston has to offer. It was luscious. Very strong custard flavor. And very little cinnamon. I hate how the others douse their pumpkin pies in cinnamon or all spice. The sweetness was spot on. However, their pecan pie was too sweet to our liking.
Amazing pies. Service was also amazing. Definitely enjoy my time there and recommend.
Love this place. Great tater tots. Friendly service. A "go go" place.
Our Server Angel Nigel served my buddies and me today. It was a pleasant experience. I haven't been here in a long time and it was a BLESSING to have visited here after being MIA for a long time from here. The food was great and the service superb. I call our Server an Angel because that was what he was today. He gave me my water and handed me my favorite dish I ordered - the O'Brien potatoes. These potatoes I ONLY eat them in House of Pies because NO ONE (and I mean just that) not even myself, can make these heavenly potatoes. If you get BLESSED to visit here, please order some O'Brien potatoes and you'll see for thyself MY REASON to feast on these potatoes. BLESSINGS
