Heaps Pies

I've been meaning to get to Heaps ever since their days at Boggs. However I had a festival to play down the street, so could only order takeout. It's crazy how different the restaurant looks beyond the bricks. It's very relaxed where you can bring your kids to watch soccer on tv. But upon closer inspection it's an amalgam of New Zealand, Decatur, Atlanta, and Nyc. They got Gza and Sharon Jones framed. Also vintage and modern. That yellowed menu board takes me back. Also their bathrooms are super clean and modern. I ordered a beef and cheddar pie and fish and chips. Be warned these pies are both filling and addictive. It was savory and the crust was flaky like biscuit layers. The fried fish was fresh, chips were a decent cut, and I could eat that remoulade sauce on just about everything. Gotta hand it to the owner Jake Harvey. He's done an amazing job, going from pop-up to now his own restaurant. Need to go back asap. Check out Heaps!

Really amazing food here! We tried two of the pies (beef and cheddar and Thai green curry chicken). The crust is super flaky, and the fillings are delicious. We can't wait to return and try more of the fillings. The fish and chips are also some of the best I've had in the area. Great service and atmosphere as well!

We enjoyed fish on a Friday Fish Fry. The sandwich was enormous, topped with coleslaw and a fresh garnish. It was so large that eating it became a delightful challenge. The cod-based fish and chips were exceptional. The batter was light and flaky, and the fish was perfectly cooked. The dining area had a rustic charm, featuring bench seating and a picnic-like atmosphere that created a stylish ambiance. The wait time was reasonable, even during the Friday lunch rush. I highly recommend stopping by on a Friday to satisfy your craving for fish and chips.

Great place for a delicious change from the normal restaurant fare. Pies are out of this world with light pastry crust (unlike the heavy US type) and fillings are delish. We had their lunch special, a chicken pot pie and Thai chicken curry pie with coleslaw and mash potato got the sides with sodas. I saw a delicious fish and chips on the next table…. That I didn’t se on the menu. “Authentic” fish and chips are offender on Fridays only. Maybe next time. Wide range of pies including hot cold and savory. A nice selection of beers sodas. It took us several attempts to find the place, and I’m glad we persisted. We will be back!!

Really good meat pies, got the beef jalapeño and butter chicken! Wish the butter chicken was a little more saucy but overall was so delicious 🤤 Pie crust / flaky was the best part, we will be going back! Atmosphere was really laid back and service was great.

There’s plenty of parking space in front of the shop, which is nice. I’ve been buying his pies and stocking up on the frozen ones since the days he did pop-ups and had a booth at outdoor farmers markets. I’m glad he finally opened a brick-and-mortar shop. I visited on a Sunday around lunchtime. The shop was almost full, but there were still indoor seats available, which was great. The ordering process was quick, and the food came out fast. We had the fish & chips and the beef & cheddar pie. For now, the fish & chips are only available on Fridays and weekends, but he plans to expand the menu soon. The cod was very fresh and not greasy, and the fries were tasty as well. As for the pies, they’re what the shop is known for, solid quality, and it really just comes down to picking your favorite flavor. The shop is partially self-service: each order comes with an empty cup, and customers can grab bottled water from the cooler for their table. After eating, customers return their trays to the tray station and dispose of leftovers and trash themselves. The owner is very friendly and was present at the shop when we visited. He answered all my questions about the special items and frozen pie stock. To me, these pies are one of those rare food items that maintain their great quality even after being frozen. There are oven reheating instructions on the website, but I found that using an air fryer works perfectly. I thaw the frozen pie in the fridge overnight, then air fry it at 350°F for 15 minutes works like a charm. Highly recommended!

There's a reason this place has 5 star reviews across the board! The incredibly delicious food is topped with friendly, welcoming service, and a cozy indoor/outdoor dining space. Sitting on a picnic table sharing a New Zealand surf & turf (steak and ale pie and fish and chips - only available Fri-Sun) while enjoying fall breezes and falling leaves is now imprinted in my mind as a perfect afternoon. The pie crust is a flaky, buttery dream and the silky chunks of beef inside are sublime. The fish is crispy outside, tender inside, and best enjoyed saturated in malt vinegar, imo. Then there are the fries, thick cut, perfect balance of crunchy exterior and tender loving potato yumminess inside. And that's before you dip them in the butter curry sauce. This is a gem of a spot that should be a must on your itinerary if you love fantastic food and delightful people who have a passion for sharing it with the community.

Solid. Of the items I've tried so far, all have been solid. Fish shop is only Fri-Sun starting at 12pm. The fish sandwich was messy to eat but most delicious things are. Curry fries were an extra $4 but worth it. Served with a thick curry sauce on the side perfect for dipping. I took leftover sauce home cuz I didn't want to waste it. Curiosity got the best of me and I ended up buying their cold pies to take home to try. You can throw in the freezer if you don't plan to eat within a few days. Easy to reheat in the oven. I've tried the Thai Chicken one so far and it was delicious! Not as dry as I was expecting (I had some meat pies in London before and thought it may be similar texture) and there was plenty of flavor. Crust was well laminated and flaky. Slight kick to it so maybe not kid friendly if your kid isn't used to spice. Can't wait to try the other flavors and will keep an eye out on their rotation menu for the Butter Chicken one. Staff was also incredibly kind and helpful with my 50 questions.

Finally made my way to Heaps and it did not disappoint. It is located in a small plaza next to Publix, plenty of parking in the lot. I visited on a perfect sunny day, the side of the restaurant completely opens up which was really cool. I was greeted by who I believe was the owner, and a case of delectable looking pies in front of me. I asked him which flavors were best, he said they were all pretty good. I decided on the beef & cheese and it was served with a homemade tomato chutney which the gentlemen said he'd been making since he was a kid. I love homemade recipes and was excited to try it with my pie. First glance of the pie - a beautiful golden brown flaky crust, it looked so fresh and yummy. First bite in and it was delicious! The beef was ground, great flavor and comforting. The tomato chutney have a nice subtle sweetness. I can't wait to come back to try more flavors! They also have a lunch special (I believe it's Wednesday- Friday) where you get a pie, a side & a drink for $17.

TLDR: 4.5/5, get fish and chips and lamb+veg pie Had the best fish and chips I've had outside of Scotland, incredibly crispy and fish was super flaky and tender. Maybe a little bit underseasoned alone but with the tartar sauce / lemon / malt vinegar there's more than enough seasoning. Fries were a bit salty and lacking crisp but owner said they're going back to homemade cause he wasn't satisfied with them. Pies are super flaky and filling was very flavorful and tender (brisket one was slightly drier but still very good). We tried the lamb and vegetable pie which came with a mint sauce that was herby and vinegary as well as a brisket jalapeño pie that was very rich and flavorful. We preferred the lamb and veg but both were good. They also sell frozen pies to go and we took a beef and cheddar one to go. The owner came over and told us that the fries are the best frozen ones he could find but he wants to switch back to homemade ones even though it would make the kitchen more crowded because he wasn't satisfied and tbh that's the only issue I had with the meal anyways. He said they'll be all homemade again in about 2 weeks(?) looking forward to coming back and trying them. In terms of seating there were a couple of picnic tables inside and a couch+coffee table set up as well as some outdoor seating. Lots of NZ themed decor along with homages to MF DOOM lol. They were playing rugby on the tv too

If you ever get a chance to stop by, do it! I didn't visit their brick & mortar store, I came across them while visiting the Grant Park Farmers market. If everyone knew how delicious these pies are, the line would be much much longer! These NZ pies are so good! I had the butter chicken pie, and it was full of flavor! They don't skimp on the filling and the crust is so flakey but strong enough to hold in the contents. Their menu has its staples but they also rotate in other options.

First time here and share the fish and chips and a beef and cheese pie with my husband. The food was excellent and prepared fast. I do think they're a little pricey for what you get but it was delicious.

Heaps in Decatur is serving up authentic New Zealand comfort food, and I'm officially a fan! In fact, it was so good, I went two days in a row, LOL. On the first day, I stopped in for meat pies and fish and chips (option for Cod or Haddock). They had just run out of the Cod, according to the owner's wife, who was working the store and was such a sweetheart. She was warm, welcoming, and full of great recommendations. She mentioned that they pick up fresh fish daily from the nearby Dekalb Farmers Market, and I knew immediately I had to return to try it. So on this occasion, I ordered two pies: chicken pot pie and beef and cheddar. They were both delicious! I started my meal in the restaurant and took the rest home. The chicken pot pie took me straight back to my childhood. It was creamy, savory, and had just the right bit of nostalgia. The beef and cheddar pie, which I was told is an authentic New Zealand offering, had a nice flavor with a rich filling and a perfectly baked crust. On the second day, I came back for my fish and chips. The Cod was fried perfectly...crispy, flavorful, and not greasy at all. Personally, I happen to like my fries extra crispy, and these didn't quite get there for me, but the flavor was good overall. This was the kind of meal that hits the spot without weighing you down. Again, I had to take half home because the portion size was generous. While I ate, there was a steady stream of customers the entire time, so Heaps is clearly a popular spot and for good reason. The space itself has just the right amount of seating and a cool vibe, especially with their music choices. They clearly know what they're doing. Whether you're craving something comforting, curious about New Zealand flavors, or just want a good, quick meal in Decatur, Heaps is worth the stop (or possibly two). Happy Eating!

The space is clean inviting and well decorated........... I was the only person there yesterday from what I assume is a soft opening. I never heard of this place or tried them at a farmers market like the others. I just tried them today because I was just hungry and they were close by. I tried them on the recommendation of yelp. They had 5 stars. I did not eat all day so I was hungry. The person who works there recommended beef and cheddar. The pies looked kind of small so I also ordered the Chana Masala and mashed potatoes. The beef cheddar seems bigger or heavier than the Chana seems like they stuff that one to the brim. It was pretty good the crust reminds me of a beef patty there was no spice to this one it was pretty good. The Chana was a little smaller than the beef and was not as filling it had a tomato base which was okay. And just a little spice that I really enjoyed. I ate the Chana fast and was full half way through the beef I also ordered the mash and gravy. The mash seemed dry and I am so confused by that because it had gravy on it. Maybe it needed some butter or some milk or something but it was lacking flavor for sure. I don't think I would come back portion size (I feel these pies should be smaller and cost less or slightly bigger for $12) flavor (it was alright nothing spectacular) location (I am not over on this side much) But I would say feel free to give them a try and let me know what you think

I am super excited to see the brick and mortar location, and it is only two minutes from my workspace! If you know where the new Publix is on East Ponce or First Oriental, it is between those two businesses. Staff is friendly and gave me suggestions for the six pie special for $60. Let me choose from hot, cold, or frozen pies or a combination of the six. I opted for six hot pies so that the family could feast too well tonight! I already know that the Pies will be amazing, because I have had them numerous times before at the Oakhurst farmers market. my only sadness is they are not open on Mondays and Tuesdays. But today is Friday and we will feast well tonight!

Both my husband and I were UK residents back in the day, so the prospect of some decent pies, and even, better, fish and chips, had us walking over for dinner. Bear in mind that fish and chips is only served on Friday. I have very high standards for my fish and chips, and these are the best I have had since I was last in England. The flsh was light and flakey, not overcooked or greasy. The breading also - not greasy - perfectly crisp. The chips are legit. Of course, they have malt vinegar. And the assortment of pies can please anyone: they have good vegetarian / vegan options, as well as a range of meat and vegetable pies. I ordered a side of the mash potatoes with Marmite gravy and it was outstanding. The owner makes the rounds and ensures everyone is happy - and each time I have been here, it has been busy, which makes me happy. I will be coming back again and again. Also worth noting that this place is exceptionally family friendly. Love the range of seating offered which gives it a casual, homey feel.

Glad to see another restaurant occupying this space. I'd driven by Heaps a few times and decided to stop by and give it a try. They have a variety of savory pies, a few sandwiches, and sides. I wasn't totally sure what to expect from the pies, but I ordered the Thai chicken curry because I love lemongrass & anything hing Thai. And I must say it was quite tasty, as was the kale salad I ordered on the side. I'll certainly be back to try the other savory pies. Service was quick & they bring out your order once it's ready. The set up is causal with picnic tables, so just get in where you fit in and enjoy your meat pie. I also noticed they have frozen take home pies too, which is a nice option.

Stopped by there today for takeout. Everything was yummy. Also, they wrote reheating instructions on the bag.

This is the spot for savory pies. They have been popping up at different farmers market but finally have a brick and mortar and it is definitely worth a visit. They have a ton of good pie options including some veggie pies and meat pies. I loved the chana masala pie that I had. It was super flavorful and the sweet chili sauce it came with was the perfect addition. We also tried the brisket, jalapeno, and cheese pie and I was told that it was really good. It had a ton of cheese in it and was very flavorful too. They were also very filling. Right now they are serving warm pies with mashed potatoes as a side option but they are going to serving some additional items as well. They also offer frozen pies to go. I know that they are going to be offering fish and chips and rice bowls. So I'll definitely go back to try those and to get more pies!

After reading the reviews and wanting to try some authentic food from New Zealand, I stopped through and picked up a couple of hand pies. The customer service was remarkably friendly and helpful in choosing which pie would suit me and how to reheat them at home. She even wrote the instructions on the bag. The shop is a good size with ample seating and cool album art and music and a TV for those football fans. I choose the veggie hand pie and a ginger beer and I will be back for more. I wish they had an additional veggie pie, but I think they have a rotating menu so I'll just have to keep a look out. Get there early, I read they run out! Great community resource.

Heaps Pies are so delicious! First of all you smell the buttery aroma of the pie, then the wonderful flakiness of the tender crust and finally the burst of flavor!! We love the spicy Green Thai Chicken Curry and the spicy an rich flavor of the Brisket, Jalapeño & Cheese!! So good and so satisfying! The staff are super nice too. Aloha and Mahalo! ;)

Great food great people Wonderful crust and so many choices More visits required Loved it

We finally tried Heaps and it was fantastic. The owner was at the register and answered my questions and was very welcoming. I came by early to avoid the crowds and we were able to chat a bit while the food was being prepared. We talked about how when different cultures merge and the wonderful foods that result from that convergence. She mentioned that they try to source as many ingredients as they can locally. They even use our favorite butcher, Pine Street Market, for some of their ingredients. I got everything to go and rushed home. The delicious smells in my car were driving me crazy! I had the Chana Masala pie and my partner had the fish and chips. He shared some fries and I dipped mine into the remoulade and it was incredible! I'm tempted to as for the recipe next time. The Chana Masala pie was perfect; crisp and perfectly laminated pastry with a luscious filling. It's vegan but you'd never know; it was rich and delicious. My partner loved the fish and chips, too. He said the batter was perfect; light and crispy. He said the citrus in the remoulade was a perfect counterpoint to the richness of the fried food. It was a great meal and we'll definitely be back!

I went out today to treat myself on a beautiful Sunday, after a long week. I settled down into Heaps and immediately connected with the vinyl record covers on the wall. It was airy and not very busy at the moment so I spoke briefly with the main hostess. She was very warm and reassured me that the fish sandwich was indeed worth the rave reviews. I ordered and also had one of their brews. The sandwich came out pretty quickly along with some of the best French Fries in this city. The sandwich was delicious, and quite filling, overpowering the bun it sat on. Lots of great flavors between the slaw and the remoulade. A nice crispy sandwich on a beautiful summer day. I saw it filling up a little more as I was leaving. All in all I will definitely be back. Great service and food.

Nice little spot with amazing savory pies. We had the Thai curry and the Cubano and both were really flavorful. The crust is perfect. It's crispy and flaky and we will be back when the pie craving hits. Everyone that was in there has an Aussie / Kiwi accent so you know they like a savory pie ha. Bluey was playing on the TV too so if your kids are questioning your decision they'll soon forget because everyone loves Bluey, even 40 year old men. It's quality TV programming.

Casual spot with savory pies. If you are looking for something flavorful and delicious, check this place out. Service was quick! I had the curry based pie and it was so good!

The pastry is the star here, super flaky and buttery. Staff are really welcoming and too tier service. I'm from the UK and really took me back.

This is one of a kind! At least in Atlanta. To get it somewhere else you'd have to fly to the land of Kiwis, New Zealand. Jake (the owner and chef) built this business one pie at a time. Starting out in a kitchen of Bogg's near West End Atlanta and now, you can enjoy his pies in a space Heaps calls its own. I'd call the main attraction here a meat pie, but there's veggie ones on the menu too. So, like Heaps call them, they're "savory pies." We had a lamb and a breakfast pie. When Heaps ran the kitchen at a bar near West End, I had the fish and chips (which was perfect) and is coming soon to the menu here. If you've been to one of Atlanta's breweries, you've likely seen them in a heat tray on the counter. While that's still one way to enjoy them, you're missing out if you don't come into Heaps new home to have a pie, and soon, a pint of beer or glass of wine.

People should eat more meat pies! This place is fantastic. Service is great and they have a nice outdoor seating area. The fish and chips is a respectable fish and chips. You also can get pies frozen to go and heat at home. We can't wait to come back with NZ family.

I knew Jake (not the Jake from State Farm) when he was slinging pies at Monday Night Garage. I knew one day he'd have his own place and hoot dare it is! I love love love this new spot with its down home (not down under Mate!) feel with indoor and outdoor seating. Best NZ style meat and veggie pies on the planet. Jake only uses the best ingredients sourced right down the street at YDFM! He took fish and chips to a whole new level with me. The cod is fresh and never frozen and the batter is perfectly tempura like. His pies ain't cheap so don't expect to get out of there without dropping your hard earned mulla but I'll pay extra to have homemade,locally sourced, and mostly organic food any day. He also has some authentic beers on tap. It's the perfect date night place or meeting friends to make some special memories. Not to mention it's authentic New Zealander food! Where the hell else in the ATL can you get that?

Everything was super fresh and well made. Had the fish n chips, good thin batter and quality fish, hand cut fries. Cheddar & beef pie, super tasty with the house made tomato chutney. Nice seating indoor and outdoor. Highly recommend the Heaps Pilsner beer on tap too. Good stuff!

Excellent food and service. The staff was very friendly. I had the green chicken pie and my wife had the ricotta spinach pie. We sat with a regular who was from New Zealand. He had the fish and chips and got pies to go. I also decided to take a sausage roll and lemon curd pie to go. Everything was excellent and I highly recommend you try it. Cozy atmosphere with clean restrooms.

Great food and nice atmosphere. We got the 6 pack and really enjoyed the types of options we had.

Excellent haddock fish and chips. Good service, relaxed atmosphere and free parking. What more can you want.

Delicious pies. Crust is awesome. Variety of fillings. Nice to get a few and share with friends or family for dinner. Reasonably priced.

Super nice owners. Kid-friendly. Breezy and relaxing with the roll-up wall. The vegetarian pie (kale, butternut squash) that I had was delicious.

Delicious pies with flaky crust! So good! This was our first time eating at Heaps, and right away we knew we'd be going back soon. We had the cubano and the green chicken curry pies and mashed potatoes with gravy. Everything was excellent. The owner/chef Jake greeted us when we walked in and explained what pies were on the menu today and which were available as heated items. We sat at a picnic table outside and had a terrific lunch. I'm going to try a different pie every time we go back!

Had a sneak peak of Heaps first physical shop! They are serving up their meat pies and sausage rolls in their own restaurant. I've been eating them at farmers markets for years and it's been incredible to watch them grow. The space is perfect, the staff is lovely, and there's even benches outside to enjoy the weather with your four-legged friends. I had the brisket jalapeño and the beef and cheddar, both excellent. Love the sweet chili sauce as well! They officially open on the 9th!

Mom and I decided to give this spot a try since we both enjoy pot pies and baby they did not disappoint. Now a pot pie sits inside a tiny aluminum pan where delicious goodness is enclosed inside a pastry shell with no soggy bottom. The whole pie is eatable. We ordered one spinach and ricotta cheese and one brisket/cheddar. We sat outside. They arrived hot and looked amazing. We split them in half so that we can both try each and they both were soooo good. Trust me if you're in the area stop by. They will not disappoint.

Absolutely delicious. What a great experience all around. The fish and chips were sadly not available the day we were there, but the kind people behind the counter were careful to make sure we were taken care of, and then some. We got 4 different pies, mashed potatoes, and a kale salad. Everything was scrumptious beyond belief, and affordable. What a great addition to the neighborhood. Wishing this place all the best.

The pies are so comforting. The flaky pie crust has a beautiful texture. Two of us attempted to share 3 pies and were too full to eat all 3, but we tried. We have the brisket & jalapeño, Thai curry, and Chana masala. The beef was the favorite of both of us. But honestly they were all delicious. The staff/owners were so lovely.

The food was so good!!! For lunch you can get a savory pie, side, and a drink for $17. I got the beef brisket, jalapeño, and cheese pie and it was amazing. So filling, I had a hard time finishing it. Service was great. Some of the photos don't do a good job of showing the interior; it was nicer than I thought it would be. Will definitely come back.

I have passed by this place numerous times and finally got a chance to try it. It's AMAZING! They explained the different type of pies and I went with the classic beef and cheddar. It was so tasty. Grabbed the mashed potatoes and sausage roll too. Both are great! Excellent service and very quick. You won't be disappointed!

I ordered this place food. It was delicious. The only thing I'm not happy is coming late other than that is great.

Very good savory pies. Tried the Cubano and it was great. Nice decor. Can get pies to go also.

I've been to Heaps Pies twice now and sent several friends there. All share my newfound enthusiasm for these tasty pies. I've had the chicken pot pie and the brisket, jalapeño & cheese. My husband is vegetarian and has had mum's veggie. Each of us felt one pie constituted a filling lunch, but I noticed some folks around us eating two. (I could eat two at one sitting, but it would require me to take to my bed afterward for a long nap.) I am planning a return trip tomorrow as I want to try the sausage roll. The place is casual and has a relaxed vibe. It's a great stop if you are headed to the DeKalb Farmers Market, which is just down Ponce. This is perfect place to take friends who like to eat, not the pals who order a salad and push the lettuce around the plate before announcing they're full.

Stopped by for lunch on their second day of officially being open and was not disappointed - good parking, nice space and really choice pies! Friendly staff at the counter made us feel welcome. Lamb and veg pie and chicken pot pie were bang on! Can't wait to come back and try their full menu -and living just a mile away - it will be soon and often.
