When a shop touts its double-crust pies, that crust needs to be terrific. Panbury’s nails it, with a crunchy, flaky, buttery crust reminiscent of the exterior of a croissant. Each pie is baked in an individual foil dish and is perfectly self-contained, making it a great option to eat on the go.
Panbury’s steak and stout pie is a classic flavor combination, and each bit of the filling acquits itself well. The steak is tender, while the Guinness sauce is savory and rich. Mushrooms add a bit more heft and deepen the umami richness.
As good as the steak and stout pie is, there doesn’t appear to be a bad option on the menu. The spinach and feta pie is excellent, as well, and the chicken and bacon is a can’t-miss combination. You might as well order a frozen four-pack to eat at your leisure, a very cost-efficient meal plan, at only $35.
Panbury’s. 209 Edgewood Ave. SE, Atlanta. 404-500-1297, panburys.com.
