Food is really good and a great treat. The cinnamon roll is really awesome, especially when you eat the other half the next day warmed up

Love me some Polly's Pie 🥧

Service was not good, cleanliness was unacceptable, my son wouldn’t even sit in the waiting area as the cloth seats were disgusting with food and dirt, same cloth nasty seats in the booths, does no one notice these need to be carpet cleaned, steam cleaned. Place is not run right, food was ok but wouldn’t say good.

Kyle’s review of Miriam: If you ever find yourself at Polly’s Pies in Huntington Beach, do yourself a favor and pray you land in Miriam’s section. I’m convinced she’s not just a server — she’s part magician, part mind-reader, and part hospitality superhero.
From the moment she walked up to the table, the energy shifted. She greeted us like she was genuinely happy we were there (a rare talent these days), and somehow managed to be warm, funny, attentive, and lightning-fast all at once. Drinks stayed full without us even noticing she refilled them. Special requests? She remembered every single one without writing anything down — and nailed them.
What really sets Miriam apart is her presence. She has that natural gift where she makes you feel like you’re her only table even when she’s clearly running the entire dining room with grace and zero stress. She checks in at exactly the right moments, never intrusive, always helpful, always upbeat. And the recommendations? Spot on. She convinced us to try a dessert we weren’t planning on ordering… and now we’re planning our next trip around it.
It’s no exaggeration to say that Miriam elevates the whole Polly’s Pies experience. Great food becomes extraordinary when you pair it with service like hers. If management is reading this: whatever you’re doing to keep her, keep doing it. And if you’re a guest: request Miriam. Seriously. Your day will be better for it.
Five stars isn’t enough — she deserves her own category.

Not a fan. This was my first time trying this place. I went to pick up something at Kohls so figured I'd grab brunch here. I ordered a burger lettuce wrapped and it was one of the saddest things I've ever seen. Overcooked cold meat. Barely any lettuce. Thin tomato slice. Wife ordered the avocado sandwich. Also sad. Bread was thicker than the ingredients in it. Fries were good though. I got a slice of pie to try it since I have never had their pies. I wasn't impressed. Served cold and a bit too sweet (apple pie). Not sure I'd ever return here. Wonder if breakfast is better? Service: not great. Server took a bit of time and seemed super talkative with other tables around us. (12/6)

Ruined Thanksgiving dinner with rotten banana cream pie. Pre ordered and picked up Wednesday for thanksgiving. Rotten black mush bananas by Thursday and bright yellow dye toxic filling. I paid $20 for nothing. I asked for refund and have not heard back. I won’t hold my breath if they’ve already tried to give us food poisoning with this trash.

We ate there at 2:30 pm on a Tuesday, It wasn't busy, and it was well before the dinner rush. The floors had a lot of scattered food particles throughout the front seating area. We left an hour later and manager still had not taken care of cleaning up the place. Otherwise, nice decor, and very friendly and capable staff. The food is tasty, well portioned and there are always seasonal offerings and pie. During peak breakfast hrs it may take quite a while to get a seat. In that case we go to Woody's. We never have to wait there. Staffing may be the factor.

I ordered and prepaid for 2 egg custard pies. Next day I arrived at the time they said they would be ready. Mgr told me they were still warm. When they cooled, the boxes felt soggy and they looked sunken. I cut into one and the custard is broken, not firm, and falling off the fork. The pie crust is soggy and wet on the bottom. It is inedible. And they charged me almost $37 for this sloppy mess. Very disappointing as I live far away and can’t go back and show them what I have to throw out.
