House of Pies – BigKidSmallCity’s Search for Houston’s Best Kid Friendly Restaurants!

by Juliette Leave a Comment

Pancakes at House of PiesAddress:  3112 Kirby Dr, Houston, TX 77098

Hi, I’m Juliette. My husband, my 6-year-old son and I love going out to eat and we are sharing our restaurant finds with you. I have a surprise reviewer this week: my husband! He took my son out to breakfast so I could rest… Yes, I know it was a very nice!

So here he goes:

House of PiesMy son and I went to House of Pies to enjoy their ‘diner style’ breakfast. In light of the fire (no pun intended) they had at the Kirby location last week, it sure doesn’t feel like a coincidence that we went when we did!

Q: How “Houston” is the House of Pies”?
A: When you make it into Goodnight Houston, you are officially an institution.

The interior décor feels like a 1970s diner. Lots of booths, browns, yellows, vinyl and mirrors… I don’t remember if the kitchen was open or not, but the pie oven sure is!

Table of Food at House of PiesYou won’t believe the mountains of pies they have. It’s like an endless sea of pie. Wow.

But on to the food. Service was quick and the casual atmosphere is great for families.

My son ordered the classic large, fluffy pancakes, served with warm maple syrup and little individual jelly tubs. I had the crispy hash browns, 3 egg omelets and bottomless coffee. When you’re in the mood for a diner omelet, nothing else will do.

Meals averaged about $8 each. If you’re wondering if we washed down our breakfasts with a little slice of heavenly pie – well we’re just gonna keep you guessing. But suffice it to say it’s possible.

I forgot to check out the bathroom (men!), but I’m confident they have one.

See you next week for our next culinary adventure (and our regular restaurant reviewer!)

On this website you will find a full list of Houston weekly events, things to do around the city, travel ideas and resources for parents.

I know just what it’s like to be overwhelmed by work, life and family. I spent a lot of years traveling for work, missing big milestones for my kids and feeling bad about everything.

I started this website to make a list of all the events happening around Houston and then pick one to enjoy with my kids. And instead of thinking of all the things I was missing, I started to enjoy the things we were doing together.

If you are a parent that is feeling overwhelmed by all the things you could be doing in Houston… please just use our weekly lists and daily posts as suggestions. Pick one thing to do with your family and intentionally ignore the rest!
