Sweetie Pie's Upper Crust

Great food, poor service. Fried chicken to make your mouth water. It was not ready when I went through the line, so I let my server know I had an order coming up. Not too much later, I noted several customers after I had chicken. I asked my server to check on my order, and I thought I had asked him to go catch the chicken, clean it and cook it in the way he looked at me. It was served hot out the grease when I finally got it after about 20 minutes of wait time. Well-seasoned baked chicken for the healthy was the second order. Sweet tea to wash it down. It became harder to wash it down as the server seemed to disappear for long periods of time. I guess one refill must be standard per visit because that is all I got and only got it when I broke the rule and got it myself. The sweet potato pie was mediocre in taste; it was better than most frozen pies but nothing special. The yams served with my meal were more impressive.

We were pleasantly surprised at how clean the establishment was. The food was kind of bland but nothing a little salt and hot sauce couldn't cure. The most important thing to me was the food wasn't heavy and greasy and the portions were just right. The staff was great and the owner actually fixed our plates and was nice enough to take photos with our party, that was cool of her. If I had a negative thing to say it would be; provide veterans with a discount on there meal. All in all awesome experience and I would recommend this soul food restaurant to others. Lastly, I see why Sweetie Pies have had the success and longevity it has (excellent service and food)!

I was excited to be in St. Louis and to have an opportunity to try Sweetie Pies. We tried fried chicken, baked turkey wing, dressing, macaroni and cheese , blacked eyed peas and corn bread. The prices were higher than expected but I guess it was to be expected for an infamous restaurant. I was disappointed with the long lines, lack of staff and bickering amongst staff. The staff were very nice and patiently waited on the customers. Although the lines were long the dining area was barely used. A lot of people stood in line for take out. The setup is a buffet line and the staff serves. Not enough staff meant one person at more than one station. Back to the food I tasted. The black eyed peas were sweet, the dressing lacked sage and the macaroni barely had cheese. The turkey wing was cold , over cooked and dry. I think it's a great family atmosphere/ attraction with all of the memorabilia. I also think if they had some tastings with customers to get the flavors right and have a dedicated area for to go options they will really thrive.

The ladies fixing your plate are courteous and very friendly My server forgot to go get our food. He did not come back to the table for refills. The meat was good. The fried chicken tasted like it was cooked in fish grease. The mac and cheese was bland. The baked chicken was great as well as the cabbage. I came and happy I did but will not return

The quality of food was sub par at best. The smothered pork chop was extremely tough and we did not enjoy the mac and cheese nor dressing. The okra was really good.

We ate a the Upper Crust location and the food was great. The staff were welcoming and polite. There was a line, but it moved quickly. I am glad that we stopped in as we came from out of state.. will definitely visit again...

Had some good soul down home cooking. Sweetie Pies portions can't be beat. Baked chicken was very moist. I had the white meat. Mac n cheese and green beans cooked to perfection. I would thought I was in the south. When in St.Louis you must stop and dine.

Great food, not so good customer service. Fried chicken, mac and cheese, yams and corn bread were the best. I know we got there 20 mins before they closed but there was no need to be so nasty. They are the ones who said we could still come in and order so why the nastiest. There was one lady, Phyllis, who was amazing. She apologized and said "honey what y'all want". Customer service, remember, goes a long way. I can now check it off my bucket list.
