“Great find. Found in a Google search trying to avoid chain restaurants, and it was yummy. There's a bit of a greasy smell when you walk in, but I took that as a sign I'd love their fries. It's a cute little mom and pop shop with a friendly staff. True to thought, if I lived in this town, I could eat their fries and the fry sauce every day. My vegetarian kid was limited, but we all tried something different and filled our stomachs. My 5 year old especially loved using her quarters to get a collection of bouncy balls in between eating her hot dog and fries.

Vegetarian options: My daughter asked, and they made her a vegetarian friendly sandwich.”

“This is a store-front restaurant that served a five course meal. With two glasses of wine it was $65. But we split that meal and had leftovers for lunch the next day. They don't send the best beef back east. The stake was great.”

“Really enjoyed our lunch at wonderful inn. First off, it was a great value with large plates for the price paid. For starters we had dumplings and potstickers. Both were good. Everyone liked the hot and sour soup and thought it was better than we have had at other Chinese restaurants. We tried three lo mein dishes - pork, beef, and shrimp. The lo mein noodles were well seasoned. All of the proteins were good and I thought the pork was the best. Fried rice was tasty too. Last we had some Szechuan beef which was also good. Service was good and friendly. We will definitely eat here again.”

“I’m fairly new to my gluten allergy (among many others) but it is severe. The team working last Sunday evening was outstanding— not only do they offer the Udi’s GF crust, but they change gloves and do a thorough hand washing between all steps; sanitize a separate prep area, and use separate ingredients for placement on a GF, Celiac, or other allergy prep pizza, then wrap it in this area before they move on to something else. They are very knowledgeable about allergies and what is needed to prevent cross-contamination and possible exposure to the allergen, as well as the possible consequences to those of us who have been dealt this awful card.Strong work, ladies!! Thanks from a grateful customer!??”

“My friend and I decided to take a road trip on a Friday and just take a break from our busy lives in Utah. We discovered The Pie Hole by accident, and we were so excited to try several items on the menu! We ordered sandwiches and soup and pies to go. The Minestrone was packed with flavor and super hearty. I love that the vegetables were thick, which made each bite an explosion of flavors. Paired with my soup, I ordered a Turkey, tomato, cucumber, and avocado with sprouts sandwich. The bread was very fresh, and the sandwich was HUGE and delicious. I'm super picky when it comes to bread, particularly because I own a Bakery myself and specialize in Artisan bakes, Sourdough, and pastry. The Pie Hole did NOT disappoint. Service was excellent, and Tim, the owner, was very attentive to our experience. We were able to sit and enjoy a nice carefree lunch, which is exactly what we needed. On our way out, we ordered a couple of pies. Tim threw in a couple of forks so we could eat our pies on the way home. The sourcream blueberry pie was perfectly tangy and sweet. A fantastic combination of flavors! We also ordered a cherry pie, and the cherries were some of the best cherries I've had in a while. Crust was amazingly flakey and moist! They absolutely know what they're doing, and we left happy. Thank you Tim & Mrs. Tim for providing such a lovely meal and experience. We could tell right out of the gate that you put a lot of love and effort into providing delicious food and a warm atmosphere for your customers. We fully recommend the Pie Hole and hope to return soon!”

“Stopped in for a couple beers, showed up later in the night. Asked for menus burgers smelled good. We were told by service right after talking to the cook that there was no more beef. Ended up having wings, they were really good. My guess is he did not want to cook anymore. Bar tenders are great and friendly, good service from them. Enjoying our beers and watching Friday night football, couldn't help but notice what seem to be an employee off the clock sitting at the end of the bar having beers and rudely belching loudly over and over again with no care in the world around him. As previously mentioned pretty annoying that a football game is on, went into overtime and at 1030p switches to Futurama and the bar tender was unable to change the channel. More than likely would go back again unless I saw the employee with his hat on backwards sitting at the end of the bar again.”

The food was made SO quickly, which is a huge relief when you're starting to get tired and want to maximize your hours on the road. It was perfectly prepared and delicious! Mostly, though, Maria made my experience such a positive one. Thankful for this bright spot in my journey!”
