Bakers Square

I would normally give it a 5 but yesterday I went to Baker’s Square the one in North Olmsted and the manager just sucked. I only wanted two pieces of banana cream pie and he wanted to sell me a whole pie why should I pay for a whole pie if I don’t want a whole pie I only want two slices and then the pie that he was trying to sell me didn’t look good at all and then had the nerve to ask me well what’s wrong with it I don’t like the way it looked so then I just told him no thank you and I left the store.

Here is a cute little place to check out. Apparently, they are famous for their pies. I was going to order a piece but the thing I originally wanted they ran out of They have those little three thing deals– like a small portion of food, with a soup or salad and then a piece of pie. I placed my order for it and the waitress came back a few mins later telling me they didn’t have what I wanted so I ended up ordering their macaroni and cheese. It didn’t come with pie though I could have ordered a piece but I felt guilty as it was after I ate almost my entire plate of Mac and cheese lol So I decided against the pie.
I’m kinda regretting it though because the pictures of the pies really did look good and I guess you should get the most popular item from a place if that’s what they are famous for. Le sigh. So yea– didn’t get any pie but the Mac and cheese was very good! I liked the atmosphere too. It’s basically a diner so that’s the type of setting you’re getting. It wasn’t crowded either, although I was told it gets really busy in the morning time. But I can’t speak for that– only can speak for what my own eyes saw hehe
Overall I did like the place! And I thought the food was really good!

Pies– they are fabulous. We had breakfast on a Sat morning. Service was polite and prompt– excellent. Food was very good and a good value. Not sure who the nay-​sayers are– try Bakers Square, it is a good restaurant, and take a fresh baked pie home for dessert– you can’t go wrong.

I worked here for five years over 25 years ago and still enjoy coming here to eat. One summer I ate a slice of French Silk pie every day. Running around as a waitress ensured I burned off the calories.
My favorites on the menu are the Chicken Stir Fry Pita, the Works Burger and the Club Sandwich (be sure to order thousand island dressing with it). The Chicken Avocado Melt is also a good choice.
And every single pie they make is good. It is hard to choose from among my favorites, which include the French Silk, Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup, Oreo, Strawberry pies, Lemon Supreme and Caramel Pecan Silk Supreme. The fruit pies a la mode are always good — as is the cheesecake and carrot cake!

Stopped in around 10 pm. Seated and then waited for 15 minutes before the manager finally came over and took our drink order, we were ready to order too so he tool that too. He brought coffee which was crap, weak and burnt. He said he would make a new pot ant bring more. Which he did when we were most of the way done with our food. It tasted exactly the same. Our food arrived and was ok. The servers brought our food and then the bill. I should have tipped the manager instead.

Several tables open and we had to wait over 20 min. It’s pie day (3.14) and you guys didn’t plan on the higher volume of patrons. Really. But finally got my pb cup pie and the nice sever was kind enough to comp it since it was small but the last piece.

Don’t come here for breakfast! We’ve never been critics on breakfast. I mean, you can’t mess up breakfast, right? Wrong. Bakers Square ruined a classic Eggs Benedict. The over salted, over medium to hard eggs on top of soggy English muffins had us running for the door. Not to mention the frozen hash browns that were undercooked and cold. Even the coffee was bad. Our waitress was out of touch. She asked if we wanted soup with our breakfast. And our mouths dropped when we saw our $ 24 bill and had a hard time accepting we actually had to pay for this meal. For the first time EVER a dine and dash crossed our minds.
We bought two pies to go. Fingers crossed they will be better than our meal. Needless to say, we will not be coming back.

It was our good fortune this past Saturday to have Bridget as our waitress. While all the servers are friendly and efficient, she was exceptional! We’ve always had decent meals here and this visit was no exception. What was extra nice was the fact that they completely redid the interior seating area and the exterior façades. It definitely looks more homey! My only complaint is that they added TVs. There is no need in a family restaurant for TVs.

Can’t say I’ve had a bad meal here. Quick and friendly service. Recommends: Chicken Caesar Pita, French dip, Reuben and the strawberry rhubarb pie. Weds is free pie with a meal. Seniors know a good deal so if you want to skip the crowds go later on Pie Rush Weds.

Bakers Square has earned — and deserves — a five star PIE review.
I’ve been purchasing their pies for several years now so feel my review can be trusted. FAR better than any of those out-​sourced pies from Giant Eagle or Heinens (except for H’s apple-​walnut-​caramel). The pies here may be a few dollars more, but so worth it for the quality of ingredients and the exceptional results. Compared to those others — that I’d liken to a «specialty adult line» (if they have such a thing) offered by those inexpensive brands of colorfully boxed kiddie-​type snack cakes and desserts — Baker Square pies are the closest to carefully and thoughtfully made-​from-​scratch versions from an accomplished home baker.
Very few times have we been disappointed. Instead of five, maybe a four star, but never anything less than that. Most often I purchase for larger gatherings, family or friend get-​togethers, and holidays, when I enjoy — and prefer — cooking savory dishes more than sweet. Even though I have a favorite (and fabulous) crust recipe from Julia Child, I don’t always have the time, so I really appreciate having Bakers Square. In particular, their
. Country Apple Coconut Cream French Silk
Always excellent choices. Tried their cheesecake /​apple one time. Didn’t go over well — but we prefer cheesecakes without additions. Others, though, must love those various fruit & cheese combinations since Bakers Square continues offering, so worth trying.)
I can’t speak to other menu items they offer, because it’s been a number of years since we’ve eaten here. I can say THIS much, however, that thanks to Bakers Square, senior citizens — who appear to be the majority of dining room patrons — can dine in comfort in a clean and spacious restaurant with a very cheerful staff, where they know they’ll feel welcome. They’ve absolutely earned that. If you’ve never visited one, please disregard any disparaging, unkind reviews about patrons. It’s totally completely untrue. Some reviewers have no skill at being humorous or clever, so their only resort at hoping to receive maybe a couple of «funny» votes — that they’re so obviously desperate for — is by making fun of older diners. Pretty pathetic. Maybe Unilocal could add more voting options? Just a thought.

Pathetic Ew… C-​r-​e-​e-​p-​y Are You Kidding?!?
Definitely a place to bring Mom, Dad, Auntie, Uncle, Grandma and Grandpa. If they’ve never been here, chances are they’ll enjoy it — and you, too — ESPECIALLY if you all leave room for a slice of dessert.

I’ve never tried their food, but this place has a nice selection of fresh-​baked, tasty pies. The employees are very friendly and helpful.
Now to the bad part… these types of restaurants seem to be very popular with senior citizens and you can tell because as soon as you walk in the door, the odor hits you in the face! The air honestly smells like a nursing home! Some people may not mind it or be used to it, but I think that smell alone would deter me from dining in at this establishment. It smells like old people!

My dad freaking LOVES this place, so I often meet him for lunch/​dinner here. The food is just fine. They have revamped their menu in the past couple years, so they actually have some moderately interesting choices. I remember enjoying the bbq pulled pork pita, and a flatbread that had a jamaican theme to it that was pretty good. The pie is good-​absolutely, and there are tons of choices. This is what brings this place from 2 to 3 stars, as I am a lover of all things pie. Overall, it’s a good value and the food is alright-​but it’s so BORING-​the décor, the menu, the food. If this is your favorite restaurant (which, if it is, you’re probably not checking Unilocal), I urge you to branch out a little and try one of the many great local places. Most of them have better food, comparable prices, and even have lots of tasty varieties of pie.

Lots of vegetarian options. The French Silk is to die for.
