Yum, curry steak pie and a coffee for breakfast.

Highly recommend this as a place to stop if heading through Gold Coast / Brisbane.

Thnx Lost, I did find that thread when I did a search, just thought given the easy access to this place between Brisbane and the Gold Coast and the amount of swagg'rs that must head on through there, it might be good info  for anyone trying to escape either location early morning or late afternoon.

In our case, it gave us a 1/2hr break leaving Gold Coast to let the early morning peak hour traffic clear a bit.

The only trick with the Yatla pie shop is to remember that they don't have Eftpos - cash only. Can someone who's been there recently confirm this? It's been a few years since I was last down that end of the state. Every time I am though, we drop in for a feed.

And don't drop in any time near lunch hour, unless you fancy being on the end of a line of people snaking out the door and along the veranda!

Free tip - grab a family apple pie when you're there, with fresh cream. I don't know how they can make money on them, given the sheer amount of apples crammed inside.

Cheers,
Matto :)

Still a great pie but I recon they were better when they were still in the tiny old building up the road before the highway was upgraded.

We stopped going a few years ago because they had gone downhill.  We'd often do a run down the freeway from the city to grab one, about 20mins each way.

My daughter is doing a project on the local history, she chose the pie shop to research. We visited the shop on the weekend strictly for research purposes !!!!

I am lead to believe there is fair bit of history behind it.

Agree with you mate, not a fan of Yatala pies anymore... But I suppose I haven't had one for a long time, since the new M1 opened so I suppose it might be worth another try.. Heading home from the Coast Sunday so I might have to stop in and get one to see if they have gotten any better.

We'll I'm with jetcrew on this on, there pies are not much chop.
I would go a beefys before a yatala, but a pie from fernvale pie from the bakery would be my first choice.

Yatala pies are good but a bit far to go for lunch . When in transit to NSW go though Tocumwal on the north side of town is new pie shop . Well worth the drive even from my place in Central Vic  :cheers:

You know what? I don't care! Whatever's in them tastes delicious!!! (well, it used to anyway, I've not had one for a while). I'm happy with choko, I grew up with my grandparents having a very prolific choko vine out behind the garage :).

As far as pies go, I spend most of my hard-earned at Meldrums these days. If you're even in Cairns, drop in. They're in the city, and are most definitely cash-only. I can guarantee that their standards are still high, since it's only been 3 days since I last sampled their wares.

Cheers,
Matto :)

My old home town (tocumwal) .  Obviously been a while since ive visited the folks because i dont even know of the new pie shop.  Unless you are talking about the two story one overlooking the Murray River?

I wouldn't give you thank you for a Beefy's Pie but it may have been a crap franchise that I got it from = Ningi.  :-\

Tried a Yatla pie some 3 months ago Steak and Mushroom with Spud on top and was very nice.  :)

You must have hit Beefy's on a very bad day - I've never had a bad one from there.  I've had one which I wasn't particularly fond of, but that was because I was trying a different filling which didn't appeal to me, not because it was badly cooked.

We always have some Beefy's Angus pies in the freezer for emergencies!  My wife tops them up when she comes back from visiting her aunt in Mooloolaba.

I've only been to Yatala a couple of times and was disappointed both times.  Definitely overhyped.

Leaving Queensland aside, a great place for pies is Vilis 24 hour cafe just off South Road in Adelaide - great range of fillings available.  Plus it's licensed!
