4 Stars – Tasty Lunch and Convenient Service
I stopped by The Real Pie Man for lunch and had a really solid experience. I ordered the smothered okra and fried catfish, along with a medium-sized seafood gumbo. Everything was freshly made and overall pretty tasty.
The smothered okra and catfish were of good quality—maybe a little more seasoning would have suited my taste, but that’s just a personal preference. The seafood gumbo was also quite good and had a nice flavor, though again, a bit more seasoning would have made it perfect for me.
We did a to-go order, and by the time my husband arrived to pick it up, it was ready right on time—no waiting needed, which was super convenient for our busy workday.
Overall, I’d say it was a pretty good lunch spot and worth a visit!
