I'd also dissuade others from visiting, unless they particularly wanted a pie or something.

Read the charter, posting to discourage others isn't ok. If it's too expensive for you then just go somewhere else..
People are different, have different tastes and financial circumstances.

Do not post anything potentially defamatory or libellous about businesses or people. 'Free Speech' is vetoed by the welfare of Boards.ie.
For instance do not post anti-recommendations, if you don't like a place then do not post here to let people know.
Service/food experiences are too subjective to be reliable and frankly, we don't know you well enough to know your reasons to put a place down.
If you have a problem with a business and need advice, please use Consumer Issues forum. If someone asks for recommendations, don't use the opportunity to mention places that have "wronged" you. Take it up with the manager instead of the internet.

I hope we can go back to discussing tasty pies now.

Oh, and the seasonal Turkey pie is friggin' gorgeous by the by.

Must give that a go at some point

As for the pricing I think that 5 for a pie isn't bad at all and I quite happily pay that, but the "meal" is more than a bit steep. It's 5 euro more than the pie for a bit of mash, peas and gravy. I wouldn't mind if it included a drink too, because that would justify the price of the meal.

I probably go in there for a coffee though more than anything, they do great coffees

I'd forgotten about this place! It's on the hitlist now, between that and corndogs tracksuits will be the january uniform at a guess.

Damn, catching up on posts...I want pie.

Everything we post has to be positive, fair enough.

Lovely pie. Great service. Nice rulers on the wall. Weather was good too. Fantastic value, very cheap. Best Galway pie shop I've ever been to.

You know, if you want an alternative, McDonagh's serve pies with chips and mushy peas for 8.99. The pies themselves only come in steak & kidney or chicken and leek variety, so you don't have the variety, but they're about twice the size of the Piemaker's and if I'm honest even tastier. O'Hehir's also do a pretty good steak & guinness pie, it's bigger and has way bigger pieces of beef than the Piemaker's. Can't remember how much it was but I think it was around the 5 euro mark give or take?

Dunno about other pies around town, but thought I'd give it a mention to show there's alternatives out there if you find the Piemaker too pricey and still fancy yourself a good pie.

Gourmet Tart also do nice pies and now they can heat them in store (place beside Salt House Pub), had Quiche one on Saturday was great and good price like 3.50 i think.

Finally went to try one, and had the beef & mushroom pie, not bad at all! Though I'd love to see what one tasted fresh out of the oven instead of refridgerated and reheated.

By Galway standards they've already been open quite a long time. Are they doing something right? Or are they part of a well-funded franchise?

Have yet to try, but sounds like a good, hearty lunch on a winter's day.

Not part of any franchise at all
