Arbuckle Mountain Fried Pies

A classic Route66 road trip stop at Arbuckle Mountain Fried Pies in Davis Oklahoma for some Southern/Midwestern comfort food, PIES. These famous Oklahoma fried pies started out as a simple recipe south of the Arbuckle Mountains. In 1954, E.W. and Maude Pletcher established the famous shop in Davis, Oklahoma. Today it’s a gas station/roadside bakery known for its wide variety of sweet and savory fried pies. If you don’t see your flavor, wait only 7 whole minutes for a fresh hot pie! Arbuckle Fried Pies currently serves 22 different flavors. These include sweet fruit flavors like cherry,blueberry and apple, creamy pies filled with chocolate or lemon. The Davis location offers savory pies like the broccoli and chicken or the Tex-Mex. Also offers several sugarless pie flavors in the fruit selection. They make their our own dough, the filling, and the pies every day. Delicious!!

After hiking Turner Falls, stopped here for some delicious fried pies. We had vanilla, pumpkin, and pecan, and they were all amazing. Hands down the pecan pie was the favorite. Cool little spot right off the 35 freeway, and should be on your list to stop and stretch your legs.

I got the Sausage, Egg, and Cheese fried pie. Hot, freshly made, and tasty. Nice crispy texture, not soggy. Good size for the price ($6.01 with tax). If you take it out of the sleeve hot, it can fall apart on you, so leave it in the sleeve!

The fried pies, both sweet and savory, are AMAZING! The coconut cream is dream worthy! The chicken and vegetables had so much flavor and wow. It was a tad busy but they are quick and efficient on getting things out quickly. Loved the souvenir cups too! Prices are fair and the eat in area was clean. The only issue was the lady taking our order was super rude. She snapped at my daughter because she tried to take her pie when she sat it down on the counter. I did not appreciate her tone and for no reason really. Had it not been for her it would have been a perfect stop.

OMG! If you are traveling through South Oklahoma, this is a must stop! Their fried pies are the BEST! Whether sweet, creamy, or savory, they are so freaking awesome. Davis Oklahoma

Waited in a line for 25-30 minutes to order. Only had one person at the register. The pies were very tasty and I thought was worth it to try! Pecan and strawberry were both good!

Saw a billboard and had to stop! Got a Bacon Egg & Cheese and the seasonal Apple Raisin Pecan. Both were excellent, very tasty! They have a large selection of fresh sweet & savory pies and frozen ones you can take home. Staff were friendly, knowledgeable & helpful. Would definitely stop back!

Was really happy to see they offered NSA (no sugar added) pies as well. Very delicious. Though I did expect the more expensive ones to be at least warm vs the ones in the cooler for 2.65

Went hiking nearby and stopped in here with some friends. Grabbed about 4 pies total and went back to our Airbnb. These were amazing! It was really nostalgic and took me back to being a kid when my momma would make hand pies. Stopped in the next day and grabbed some frozen ones to take back to Texas! Love these pies! Tried the Tex Mex pie, blueberry, chocolate, & apple. 10/10 Wished I had tried the pizza one as well.

Savory fried pies..? Who knew..? I was in the area on a Jeep off-roading trip, and this was on the way to the meet-up stop, so I decided to stop in and try them out... yeah, wise choice! I've had fried pies from all around OK and TX, and these were pretty good. Not sure if I'm a fan of the savory pies, though. I tried the egg, bacon and cheese... the eggs develop a strange texture in the re-warming process which I think is the only thing I didn't like about the pie. The crust was warm and flaky, delicious, but the egg threw me off. I also tried the Polish sausage and potato which, again, crust was so good but the sausage ended up a bit dry. The potatoes were good. Wish they could be customized with cheese or mushrooms, but understand they're pre-made and then rewarmed. As for the Apricot, forget about it... I was all over that pie and dreaming of some vanilla ice cream to add some additional sweet to that amazing flavor. Had to make do with my chocolate milk. Definitely a family run, friendly staff, delicious place to stop when you're in the area.

The fruit pies are ready as soon as you order them, but the savory pies take approximately 10 minutes because they make them to order. The stop is warm and cozy with a mountain inn ambiance. The staff is friendly and welcoming. They all seem to enjoy their job.

We decided to stop by here on the way to Dallas to try some fried pies. I've always driven by this place but never stopped and I'm so glad I did today. We decided to try the blueberry and chocolate peanut better cream pies. I got the Burberry. It was. A hard choice of which pie to try, as they all look fantastic. The crust was so good and the filling ratio was perfect. My boyfriend got the chocolate peanut butter cream fried pie and thought it was good, but had a large amount of filling. He ate it all though. Granted we did feel pretty full and heavy after eating them, but it was an enjoyable experience for us! The crust was flakey and not too oily. The service was prompt and the worker told me the top flavors people were buying. Blueberry was not on her list, but I tried that one anyways. The inside was clean and there are many tables to chose from

The atmosphere is charming kind of like a cozy campsite vibe inside. The bathrooms were fairly clean, nothing remarkable but decent enough. As for the fried pies, I don't have much to compare them to since I haven't tried many elsewhere. They were okay, not amazing, but not bad either. I personally didn't enjoy the crust and ended up leaving it on all of the pies. Since they're fried, they're definitely rich and very filling. Service was good overall. Our savory pies took about 10 minutes to come out, while the sweet ones seemed to be premade and ready to go.

The fried pies, both sweet and savory, are AMAZING! The coconut cream is dream worthy! The chicken and vegetables had so much flavor and wow. It was a tad busy but they are quick and efficient on getting things out quickly. Loved the souvenir cups too! Prices are fair and the eat in area was clean. The only issue was the lady taking our order was super rude. She snapped at my daughter because she tried to take her pie when she sat it down on the counter. I did not appreciate her tone and for no reason really. Had it not been for her it would have been a perfect stop.

Fried pie redemption! everywhere else we've tried fried pies they're soggy, and cold and don't live up to the hype so I made my husband stop one more time on a long road trip and lo and behold. This is the place to get them hot crispy on the outside soft and the inside just perfect!

This roadside attraction is a must, a quintessential food stop on any road trip that takes you down I-35 between OKC and Dallas. About 38% of the way from Oklahoma City to Dallas, or 62% of the way from Dallas to Oklahoma City, Arbuckle's is rightfully iconic. The building is conveniently 346 feet from the interstate, they have gas pumps, and there is a massive interior space to eat their famous fried pies. So, here I was road tripping through Oklahoma, a state known for their fried pies (largely because of this place), and I knew I had to stop off. This is truly the ultimate fried pie! It's a far cry from those crappy baked apple pie McDonald's offers, the polar opposite in fact! The delicately fried pie dough is perfectly and lightly crispy, giving way to deliciously flavorful fillings! The lemon is my favorite, but the blackberry is exceptionally good as well!

This is a yearly stop when taking our kiddos to summer camp! The service is fast, friendly, and the pies are fried perfectly. This time I also tried a broccoli and chicken fried pie because I really wanted something savory! Safe to say it did not disappoint. Make sure to stop in when passing through. You'll be glad you did!

Made the 2 hour drive to Arbuckle fried pies on ou/tx Saturday from Plano. We'll worth the drive and the dozen fried pies + 2 breakfast pies we purchased and the placed half in freezer! We ate a few on way home, so well worth a trip for the Delectable fried pies!

When passing through, we always stop for some fried pies! They are tasty. Worth your time.

We always make a pit stop for fried pies on our way through the Arbuckles! No frills, no fuss, just delicious fried pies that are light and full of flavor. I recommend stopping for lunch and getting a savory pie, and then grabbing a few sweet ones for the road!

This place is awesome. Their friend pies are so good. Got the Tex-Mex and a pecan. Both were delicious and easy to eat while I drove.

These are the best fried pies I've had in a long time. The service was spot on and the variety of pies to include both sweet and savory was excellent.

Heaven on earth, with pies a plenty. Savory pies and fruit pies and cream pies, oh my what a dangerous place that you have to go here. Oklahoma does pies on a whole new hand held level. Apricot is my favorite and no lie I can eat two without hesitation. Then I have some other flavors, you can't go wrong for later, then for breakfast next day. Always best in the parking lot. LOVE LOVE LOVE PIES from here.

Omg what a sweet sweet surprise off of the highway! Definitely a must have if you are driving on this highway. I got the chocolate pie and the blackberry pie and both were perfectly sweet and the dough was so fresh and cooked to the perfect crisp! This is a mandatory stop for me now.

Large seating area with extra space upstairs. Not enough parking spaces but we were there at lunch time so they were busy. We waited for a space someone was backing out of. Nothing frilly about this restaurant but the pies were really good. I had the sausage egg and cheese savory pie. It was piping hot!! I had to cut it in chunks so it would cool enough to eat. I liked it a lot. The cheese was melted and it was all mixed in the sausage and egg. Every bite had all 3 ingredients in it. My husband enjoyed his pizza pie. He said it was like a large fresh pizza roll. There is a 10 to 15 minute wait for savory pies. That's why they are so fresh. They make them after you order them. I also had the sweet cherry pie. It was just like a regular cherry pie. It was kinda messy. I used lots of napkins. My husband had the nsa (no sugar added) Blackberry pie. He loved it. We are already planning our next trip and deciding what we will try then. Very cool and unique restaurant.

The pies were delicious. I had a chicken and vegetable pie made while I waited. It was great! The crust is tender, the filling is tasty and hit the spot for comfort food. Service was friendly and helpful. The restaurant was clean and cool on a hot day.

Tasty! Simple and delicious but not fancy. These fried pies are so wonderful - both fruit and savory are always so good!! We've been faithful customers forever- since the original gas station location in Ardmore. Favorites are the coconut cream, pineapple and cherry, but we've never had anything that's not tasty. Be prepared to wait in line to place your order, but it doesn't take long. These dedicated people are efficient and will help you decide on how many you need to bring home! Always a favorite stop to or from OKC to Texas.

Looking for a quick lunch on our way to Natchitoches, we stopped at Arbuckle Fried Pies just off of I-35 near Davis, OK. We both ordered chicken and vegetable pies. Savory pies are made to order, which takes around 8 minutes. They come out piping hot and require a few minutes before you can comfortably enjoy the pies. You order at the counter and select the table of your choice. There is ample seating. The venue is very casual and dinner ware is disposable. The chicken and vegetable pies were very tasty. The flavor is very much like that of chicken pot pie. We were both happy with our choice and enjoyed lunch. It was quick, easy, and good.

Tried the Lemon pie and it was delicious. It was the right amount of sweet and tartness.

We can never drive past this place without stopping! We live in Texas and talk about and dream about these fried pies more than I like to admit! DON'T SKIP STOPPING HERE

Oh my gosh! These are so good! We stop just about every trip home from Oklahoma. My favorite is coconut cream pie! My hubby loves the apple! The service is always quick no matter how busy they are!

I was doing a quick weekend trip from Dallas to OKC and stumbled upon this place to check out thanks to Yelp! We tried to order a savory pie but learned it would take 30 minutes to cook and prepare so we opted for a lemon pie and strawberry pie to go on our way to OKC. I thought the lemon filling was going to be high viscocity but it was actually watery. It was a bit difficult to eat it while driving, but it was still good. I just wish the sweetness was cut back a bit. I ended up saving the strawberry pie for the next day and in my opinion it was way better than the lemon pie in taste and texture. Overall a great place to just top and grab some fried pies.

We ordered 5 pies, cherry, apple, peach, lemon and chocolate. You can't hold the pies, they fall apart. I always thought fried pies should have a crusty sort of dough, these don't. Very heavy dough with oil. Fillings seem like they're processed not homemade. Probably won't stop again. We ended up throwing half away. Make sure you get a fork because you definitely can't hold them and take bites.

Holy moly this place is a treat! I had never been to this staple and I'm so glad i finally stopped. These fried pies are out of this world yummy with about just any flavor you can think of! As i stood in line everyone ahead of me were ordering multiples. I just ordered one cherry and didn't plan on finishing the entire thing but i did. I don't even want to know the calorie intake of this ginormous thing but it was worth it! They're made fresh daily and if you're wanting some fresh delicious treat this is your place i loved the cherry. Plenty of fresh cherries throughout it , it wasn't filled with just plain cherry filling like store bought ones are.

Handmade fried pies made in the small industrial like kitchen of the shop. Not a typical flakey fried pie but dense and doughy. A decent pie.

Fried pies were delicious even at 5 minutes to closing. The filling was amazing the crust so good and not greasy! We got coconut cream, strawberry & lemon, and was suppose to be apple pecan raisin turned out it was pumpkin. Still all great!

Always stop by if your traveling. They have meal ones along with of course dessert pies. We get several to bring home. I like to put sugar on top with butter and heat up! So good. Pineapple and cherry my fav. Husband gets sugar free but not me, I just go for it. Good place to take break from driving. Or we stop for dessert after eating at Smoken Joe's or Bullys by the Lake. They have tables you can sit at. Fountain drinks and restrooms. You also can buy frozen pies. Ladies are always busy making pies, so you know they are fresh.

Great place that does just what they say. Old school staff and experience. You order the counter certain ones. You'll have to wait for but some are pre-prepared. Great fried pies. Good stop for a snack. They have a variety of different fried pies from plain fruit ones to more savory combinations. I had a sausage, egg and cheese savory breakfast one and it was tasty. Is the family friendly place with plenty of seating and tables if you choose to eat inside. Or you can just take it on the road.

The employees were very polite, but I just wasn't a fan of the TexMex pie and the pizza pie I ordered. The pies basically broke down in to a mess after one bite... the flavor wasn't bad but it wasn't good either.

Pies are ok but greasy. Cherry is the best of the ones we tried. Don't use this place for a gas stop. Pumps are broken or pump extremely slow. Plus gas prices are higher. We only stopped because we were on fumes.

Guess I was expecting fried pies like Grandma made. Fried in a skillet (with lard). It was my mistake not understanding it was deep fried in vegetable oil. The ingredients was good, but my son & I just couldn't eat the outside. While trying to eat them they fell apart, soggy. Bought 5 pies but ended up throwing three away. Local raccoons at the campground loved them, vegetable oil & all. Don't want you to see my review as negative, because many people love this place (per reviews). I just don't want you to misunderstand fried in skillet vs deep fried. I was talking to two of the campground host one said he loved this place, the other stated he couldn't get past the deep fried oil taste. Decide for yourself just buy one 1st & make up your own mind. Have a great day

Wonderful fry pies. Our favorite is the coconut. Plenty of filling and nice crust. We've always tried to stop when we're in the area.

Just too good! A great place to stop!! My family and I were in Oklahoma for about 1.5 months, we are from California and have nothing like this. I drove here from Ada, Oklahoma to check it out and it was so exciting haha. I ordered a good variety of their pies and they all were so good! Blackberry. Surprisingly my favorite, I'm not a huge blackberry person. But it was my favorite, I really wish I could have more :( haha !! Cherry, lemon mmm, apple so good! I'm not sure if they are always served hot but I ended up going twice and the second time around the pies I ordered were all served hott! So if you like your pie warm try and see if you can get a hott one Also tried the tex mex, chicken and vegetable, a breakfast pie and Broccoli cheddar they are were so good and such a nice meal to have if you're having a craving for different flavors. I wish they had these in southern California, there would be a line out the door!! I hope we go back to Oklahoma again because I want to buy a bunch of frozen ones (they sell them frozen too) so I can bring back for more of my family to try.

Very clean family establishment! Hubby tried the cherry pie and liked it. Thought it would be fun to come back and try the breakfast or lunch pies. Plenty of seating inside and some picnic tables outside as well.

Their Pies taste wonderful and they look good the Pies just burst with flavor. Might be a little pricey tho but taste 10-10

We weren't particularly impressed with the fried pies. We had a sausage, potato and egg pie and a mushroom and spinach pie. They both were very bland, had almost no seasoning, and the ingredients were all very mushy. We tried adding some hot sauce from packets but that didn't help. Obviously, this place is popular because there were lots of people buying boxes of pies. They just didn't do anything for us.

I'm just reviewing the cherry pie - we always stop for those. This time I was surprised that the price hadn't been raised until I ate the pie. There wasn't a single cherry in my cherry pie. It was filled with cherry flavored goo like Hostess pies. Won't be stopping again. I gave two stars in case my daughter likes the custard one.

I have been coming to this hole in the wall spot for many years!! This has always been a to go spot on the way back to Texas from Oklahoma, whether it was with friends or with family. This place was built from the ground up with love and hard work from the previous owner. She worked hard to root this business by selling pies from the back of her car to selling it in an actual establishment. It is not the most clean place you will go to, but it's expected for a spot that many people stop at. Now for the pies, man you will not regret anything here. They have a variety of different flavor pies from apple, apricot, vanilla, coconut, to chocolate, and etc. My favorite has always been the pecan pie and the coconut! They have another flavors such as chicken and broccoli and others, but I was never too much of a fan of those. I would highly recommend trying this place out on the drive to or from Oklahoma.

When we leave Texas on I-35, crossing into Oklahoma is like Dorothy landing in Munchkinland and she steps out into Technicolor. Entering into the Arbuckle Mountains is simply awesome. Enjoy the beautiful scenery, but as you get about 50 miles north, into the state, watch for the Turner Falls exit and the FRIED PIE sign. You don't want to miss this stop for Arbuckle Mountain Fried Pies. They have several locations, but this is their headquarters. Several miles before the exit, Oklahoma singer / songwriter Mike Hosty's song "Fried Pie" is always playing in my head. Mike's band used to come down and play in Texas fairly often and he did this number to express his appreciation for these delicious pies. https://youtu.be/5-toqM-TpYs  Anyway, their menu has a somewhat stunning. So many to choose from! We bought peach, blackberry and 2 apple pies. We limited outselves to sharing 1 per day, lol. All were amazing! So, don't ignore this exit on I-35, or you're missing out on a real treat!

Great stop on the way to visit our daughter. Lots of choices for yummy pie. What could be better! So nostalgic! Love the pets on the roof!! I'd have liked mine heated. John ate his so fast he didn't notice that I wanted a bite! My blackberry one was yummy. I'd asked for it heated next time!! Love the history of the place!

The place was worth the hyped. The pies are really good. They are all fresh and fall off your hands. A mininum of five pies are necessary for the out of towners to get a feel of their products with apple & coconut being on top of the list.

Wow, I've never had a fried pie before but the line was long and I saw the raving reviews that we had to try it. It seemed like a very touristic and just do, and IT WAS WORTH IT. We got 2 different kind of fried pies to try the variety; savory and sweet. We had the bacon, egg, and cheese and the pecan fried pies. The savory one was so warm and the breading just melted in your mouth it was absolutely delicious. The pecan was similar to a pecan pie but with the fried pie breading and it was amazing. The line for both fried pies, gas, and of course the bathroom is extremely long but it is worth the wait. Definitely wear a mask here if you're nervous because there is no social distancing here but good pies and their slurpies have the best consistency of any slurpie I've ever had, so definitely grab one of those as well!!

DELICIOUS ! I mean that's all I can say . The price is good for what you get. And they are freshly made. If you're at Turner Falls you must stop by there.

My friend was wanting to take me on a road trip for my birthday. So, we headed out in the morning driving and in the afternoon we ended up in the mountains at this little shop that's filled with hundreds of hand pies! They had almost every flavor you could think of for a pie flavor and all of the ones we tried were absolutely delicious! The single pie by itself was a little bit pricey, but you could buy frozen pies by the dozen for half the price. And it is worth the drive :-)

Wow so interesting I've never had fried pies before and was recc to stop by this place after a hike at turner falls. I really liked the sweet potato and pecan but wished they were a bit hotter/ warmer. All of our pies were pretty room temperature to cold but I mean pies can be cold or warm so it didn't really matter i guess. The apple one was good too but I'm not a big fan of apple pie so I cant really tell you much about it but my bf and dad loved it and they like apple pie so there you go haha. The only one I disliked was the chocolate pie. I thought it would legit be chocolate or some fudgy like inside with rich chocolate but it was honestly like some chocolate pudding you can get in a cup at the grocery store for your lunch box dealio so it wasnt my favorite and not something I'd get again. But ppl who like chocolate pudding you should get it!

The fried pies were awesome. Glad we stumbled upon this place. Friendly folks that work there so the service was great. No ambiance to speak of just people serving a great product. That's all ya need.

On the list of iconic Oklahoma foods to try - Fried pies are right up there! - The sign on the highway led us here. I truly WANTED to love this place (I mean...FRIED PIE, what is not to love??) - they were so nice and they even gave me a free (chocolate & peanut putter) pie flavor to try. We bought 2 kinds: the broccoli cheese and the apricot. It was later in the afternoon and they just tasted a little of old grease...Maybe earlier in the day - or week they are fresher tasting??
