"Gretna’s beloved Real Pie Man is as popular for its Creole gumbo and yak-a-mein as it is for its counter full of lovely fruit pies. Pie Man’s brew comes with dark broth with layers of flavor, all-the-way boiled eggs, and big hunks of beef debris." - Beth D'Addono, Clair Lorell

Got the crawfish cippie for the first time in many, many years after having been off their menu for said years, and I have to say, it was just ok. It tasted a bit watered down. The fried wings I got with it were stellar, though.

The peach cobbler is so good. It's heavenly and everyone is so pleasant. Every time I go to get something to eat or a quick sweet treat 😋 it make me feel like I'm going to my grandma's house.

Small shop, but great little pies. We got there late in the day, but the still had peach, apple and pecan little pies, as well as peach cobbler. Clean, reasonably priced and tasty!! Today I am regretting not getting more pie!!!! We will visit again!!!!

That Yaka Mein I got from The Real Pie Man restaurant? Absolutely delicious and so comforting. It was a really satisfying meal.

Since Hurricane Katrina I've been in Atlanta but every time I go back home to New Orleans I have to stop to get some gumbo from the Real Pie Man. There is no other that compares. Everything else they serve is good too especially the pasta.

Usually really good but whoever's baking lately needs to do better.

I just got the sweet potato and pecan pies. Both were delicious.

It was red bean Monday, and I had not cooked. So, my daughter and I stopped by to grab some from this restaurant. It was very reasonably priced for a large red bean. The beans were well seasoned without being salty. Plus, we were able to eat dinner for 2 nights! We will be back.
