One of my favorite spots in Bixby Knolls is Polly’s Bakery Cafe. If you love home-baked pies and treats like I do, you’ll love this place. It seems like everyone in Bixby Knolls feels the same way, Polly’s is always packed for the holidays.
Why?
Because they have amazing pies. They sell such a wide variety of pies it’s hard to choose just one favorite. You have your choice of double crust, fresh fruit, meringues, cheese cakes, creme pies, fresh fruit shortcake and daily no-sugar-added selections. And you have to try their BanBerry special. Just imagine freshly baked crust with Banana Creme filling covered with strawberries and then lined with real whip cream. It’s too hard to resist.
If you don’t have your holiday pie orders in by now, it might be too late. You have to order your holiday pies many weeks in advance. Polly’s bakes hundreds of pies every year. I think around 500, but I can’t be sure. All I know is it’s a crazy number. You have to get in line to get your pies. It is out of control.
Polly’s is also a great place for breakfast. Featuring dishes with Applewood smoked bacon, savory cheesy egg custard filling, Polly’s old fashioned deep dish crust, golden grilled hash browns, country sausage gravy, Thomas® English Muffins, hollandaise sauce, you can’t go wrong. If you’re going before the end of the year, be sure to try the pumpkin pancake special, or even the pumpkin muffins.
Their lunch and dinner menus have an array of sandwiches, burgers (try the beef, chicken or fish sliders), chicken entrees (including rotisserie chicken), fish & chips, ribs and chicken fried steak. There are lots of old time favorites and new tastes to check out. The best part is a kid’s meals is only $2.99.
But Polly’s baked goods aren’t limited to just pies. They also prepare and bake bread, muffins, cinnamon rolls, biscuits, dinner rolls, corn bread, and cookies.
Polly’s Pies Restaurant also started the “Cookies For Our Troops Program” which supports the men and women serving in the US armed forces in Iraq and Afghanistan. Donating a dozen cookies to the troops for every dozen cookies purchased by guests, Polly’s baked and sold over 12,000 dozen cookies in the first three weeks. A total of 144,000 cookies were sent to our troops serving overseas.
Who doesn’t prefer home-baked desserts over the bland store-made kind?
