From the April issue: We’re in pie heaven trying the Southern classics at Elsie’s Plate & Pie

Elsie’s Plate & Pie is continuing the vintage tradition Honeymoon Bungalow left behind.

Where the much-loved antique shop once stood, Elsie’s now serves up nostalgic pastries, savory pies and a down-home country vibe. Steps away from popular Mid City spots like The Radio Bar, it draws customers from near and far and late into the evening.

Before dining at Elsie’s, I assumed the menu might have a few appetizers, maybe a salad or two, but mostly a plethora of pies. I was surprised to find plenty of sandwiches, a smattering of Cajun or Southern-style entrees, a fine selection of salads and a couple of soups. And to whet your whistle while you wait, there is a full menu of cocktails, beer and wine.

Read on for the full review of Elsie’s hand pies, pot pies, boudin cakes and more from 225‘s April issue.
