Holly's Meat Pies - Bellingham

So, so good. Rated so highly on the google maps for a reason which quickly becomes clear to all who set foot here!

Although the crust was very good, the filling had Very Little MEAT. The price for a pie and dessert was about $15, which would be fair if there was more meat in the pie. The woman that was behind the counter helped me understand what the pies were since I'd never been there before, and was friendly and helpful.Parking: There are 3 reserved for customers only right in front.

We have been eating Holly 's meat pies for many years. They 're a great fast dinner when pressed for time, or just lazy. We usually get a dozen at a time which lasts us 4 months or so. (I ration them! Highly recommend!The three stars for atmosphere is just because there is no in-store eating area. You can get a to-go pie heated up, though. Odd that Google only allows me to recommend All the vegetarian pasties. Everything is good!

TIP: They serve hot pies at the store, in addition to frozen pies for cooking at home.AMAZING vegan and vegetarian hand pies! I 've never been a fan of hand pies pasties because IMO the crusts tend to be hard and dry. But because GTG offers vegan ones, we gave them a try. We ordered all the vegan ones as well as all the vegetarian ones. Theirs are SO DIFFERENT and WONDERFUL! The crusts are substantial enough to hold in the fillings and truly be hold-able while eating, but they are also crumbly and they don 't suck the moisture from your mouth like most hand pie crusts do. The fillings are moist but not drippy, and the level of herbs spices is very good.Depending on your preference for desserts, you might or might not like the apple and cherry turnovers. We tried only the cherry one so far. It wasn 't highly sweet and also not super juicy gummy. We 're going to give the apple a try in our next order. We probably won 't order the cherry one again because we prefer a little more thick juice with the fruit. The pecan bar was a 5 out of 5 and the brownie bar was a 4.Here 's a tip that you might find useful. Before eating, I thawed the pies in the fridge overnight. For 2 pies, I microwaved them for a few minutes to warm the fillings, then baked them for about 20 minutes to crisp up the crust without burning them. For a single pie I do the microwaving step, then pop it into the air fryer for about 10 minutes.I highly recommend giving GTG a try!

Unfortunately, there's no place to sit and enjoy your pie, and there's a limited number of pies that can be heated and eaten right away. The pies are frozen, so you can bake them whenever you're ready for a delicious hot pie from your own oven.
