The pies here are worth the drive from wherever you might live. I think of nothing to hop in the car to get my fix of pie goodness from these guys. And I'm not alone. The place is always busy, the lines are always long, and it's always worth the wait.
They do drive-thru, takeaway as well as eat in, but I find that I have to sit down and eat my pie straight away. There chips and gravy is also pretty good, and I always walk out of there wishing I could fit more food in.
They have a decent range of pies, pastries and so forth. The pies come in family and normal sizes. Potato, Gravy and Peas and available.
Parking can be a problem, they don't take EFTPOS (they do have an ATM instore, though), and they are always busy. But at the end of the day, the pies are always worth it. I even managed to convince a friend who "hates pies" to give them a chance, and she has been begging me to take her back there.
How awesome are these guys. I can't help but stop for one of their delicious pies. My favorite is always a curry and have to have it complete with toppings. The best pies in Brisbane.
Yes who doesn't drive back from the Gold Coast on the weekend without bypassing Yatala Pies. They are definitely worth the drive even if you live a while away. They are scummy !!!! Good quality fillings and DEEP yes DEEP. Nothing worse than a half full pie with a sloppy base. There are so many varieties of pies and we love their chicken hot chips. And we always get a family apple pie to take home. You really need to see the pie to understand just how High it is. When I first bought one, I thought the pastry had just risen into an airball. but no, it was full of fresh apply pieces. It sits about 12cm high. Only negative would be please give it a good paint and/or revamp as the furniture is getting a bit run down as with the look. Besides that ... Yummy
My family rarely ever goes to Gold Coast without passing through Yatala and getting some of their pies. We always get the Chicken & Mushroom Pie, but my favourite has to be the Berry Pie with the lovely crumbly top.
Great products we had a Pastie beautiful flaky pastry plenty of filling could have done with a few more vegetables! Apple pie and crean generous serve of fresh REAL cream.Great products but the place looks very tired need a through clean very grotty looking.Tables and bins were being cleared all the time but they realy need to look at cleaning the place up this is the only thing that lets it down.
Approximate cost: $7?
We never come back from the Goldie, without stopping in here & I mean never. I personally generally hate pies & will only eat theirs, they are so fresh & decent chunks of steak or chicken in them. My fav is the steak & mushroom, I normally buy 3, so I have them for lunch or a snack the following days, one thing is there is always a line up on the weekends, but it is well worth the turn off the highway!
Approximate cost: $7
We visit this awesome, historic pie palace at least once a fortnight for the best pies on the Gold Coast. The joint is often packed, with a good queue in the drive thru as well but that doesn't affect the level of friendly service. There is a great range of cakes and pastries, cold drinks and the pies offer a great variety as well. I love the chicken and veggie pie.. steak, bacon&cheese is kick ass.. The Kelly pie with steak, bacon, egg, onion always sells out fast obviously! And the triangles are delicious!! Everything is served fresh and crispy and melts in your mouth. You can even grab a serve of mushy peas to top it off or grab a big cold family pie to take home! A+++ 5 stars!
Approximate cost: $8
It is simply not possible to say anything bad about this awesome business!
They have amazing pies, a really wide variety and you can buy them either cold or heated. The beauty of this is that they freeze beautifully, so you can grab one for now (hot) and munch on it on the way home, and a few others (cold) to pop in the freezer for the next time you have a craving and can't make it down to Yatala.
On average you are looking at about $5 per pie, and they are worth it - nice solid chunky items, not dodgy, no filling type things.
Most people I know drop in on the way to or from the Gold Coast, but I do have one friend who used to go weekly and buy about 40 pies to take to work at night for everyone he worked with. He did this for about 8 weeks, it was absolutely crazy, but made him the most popular staff member on the night shift. They really are that good that you will have everyone around you jealous.
Absolutely worth the drive, in my opinion no matter where you live :-)

I've been wanting to check out the famous Yatala Pies for a long time. I must do so next time I had down to the Gold Coast.
Yatala Pies is the only bakery you need to visit. If you have relatives up in QLD for a holiday than this bakery is a MUST!! Always fresh, always real meat and heaps of variety. Huge selection of sweet treats too :)
There's no better way to finish off a way down the coast than stopping off for a Yatala Pie. My daughter is now 9 and she was only a few months old on my first trip. They are the most beautiful pies with a huge variety.
great pies, they are always busy. but these pies are worth waiting for
I love this place, its always busy though!!! I stop here everytime we're on our way home from the Gold Coast! Its hard to find a park a lot of the time, so we're always going though drive-thru. There pies are awesome, the staff are friendly and great, service is fast considering how busy it gets.
Yep, the pies are awesome!!! The most nicest pastry ever! I've been going there for years since I was a kid and it was on a different site!
Great Pie Shop! Can be a little expensive but they are great pies! I Would definetly venture back there if I travelling on the M1 anytime soon!
I love a good 'ol pie and you'll find a huge variety of freshly baked pies and other delectable baked goods here at famous Yatala Pies but I don't love how businesses in this day and age don't offer customers EFTPOS facilities. There is an ATM onsite but I'm sure you pay for the convenience. Aside from that, if you have visitors from overseas and you want to take them out for quality Aussie meat pies (about $4.50 for the plain steak pie), Yatala Pies is the place.
Approximate cost: $4.50
was so good and very close to home. was little line up but well worth the wait.
mushy peas and gravy. YUM
Approximate cost: $6
Without a doubt the best pies I have ever had. I ordered the chicken and vegetable pie and added mashed potato and pies on top. It was delicious. The staff were pretty friendly and the place was very busy yet served very quickly.
They also have a drive through too.
Approximate cost: $8
always call in here for a pie on my way to and from brisbane, great pies
!!!!!!! YUM !!!!!!!
We always stop by here when we're passing through & grab a couple of family pies for dinner & the freezer!
Haven't had the desserts but the pies are delicious!!!
If you haven't been, go now!!!
Not quite as good as when they were at their old location (Yes showing my age), but still some of the best pies you will find anywhere.
Approximate cost: $5

Approximate cost: $5
These are pretty much the best pies on earth. Worth a trip if you are nearby. So many flavours, and all of them are delicious.
omg the pies are the best i have ever had apart from what i make my self and well the variety are supurb ain all ways
Approximate cost: $14
i agree great pies
Great tasting pies and the ordering system is well set out, always take a detour to go there on the way to the coast. You have never had a pie until you try one from Yatala.
yer i love their pies too
Oh my gosh I love Yatala Pies, will definately go out of my way to grab one when we are in the area plus stock up on pies to take home to the family. Always love the beautiful pies!!!
Approximate cost: $40
great pies
Very famous pies are these! first had one almost twenty years ago, and am pleased to say that they haven't changed one bit!
Approximate cost: $5
Yatala Pies is defiently worth a shot however you will get hooked! Defiently reccomend adding pea mash to your pies because it adds a delicious element. And also reccomend trying some of the sweets, affordable and friendly staff. last time i visited was cash only so try to bring some of that along otherwise there is a ATM available.
The pea mash idea comes from an old recipe for pie floaters (which is the pie floating on a plate of thick green pea soup), which started in South Australia, and you bought in the street off pie carts...
Great system for ordering and receiving the order here, the staff are in sync.
Don't think they are as good as they used to be
Went there recently and purchased 3 meat pies and there was hardly any meat in them it was all pastry and gravy
Approximate cost: $6.00
Thats a shame they weren't as good....
This is the best pie shop in the country. So many varieties in savoury pies and the cakes are so yummmy. My family always stufff ourselves full here, as we know we can't find these pies anywhere else, so we sure make the most of it when we visit there (30kms from home). Its an outing in itself!
The sweet cakes are defiently good at yatla pies!
Also want to add that the ordering system is really smooth, never had a mistake with the order.
amazing pies! we always stop here while we are out those ways and we always buy way too many then eat them the next day! they are great!!
I'm torn on this company. Great service, products, prices, etc but I think my husband thinks their pies are better than they are. They are lovely, hence me giving 5 stars but they are not the best I've had. The drive-thru is a great novelty though, love it.
The pies are great! They are large and well worth the money. Can't decide which pie to have? Go for the "Tradie pie" - a pie that has everything. An excellent snack or meal when you are on the way home from the coast.
Approximate cost: $5
No wonder Yatala pies are so famous!!! Best pies ever, even the sweet pies and bakery items are delicious! I love the jam and cream donuts with fresh cream-yum! I love stopping in on the way back from the coast for an easy dinner!
