Fine. I have a not so secret sick love of various suburban dining chains including this one. I brought a date here and he wasn't too disgusted, I hope, but the service was friendly, the food was the usual Bakers Square fare which I am always a fan of, and they did have some very attractive prizes in the claw game prize pit. I'm sure I'll be back for a pre Haunted Trails din din. Did you hear that Martha Z, me and you are coming here ASAP.

They get two stars because I still love their pies and at least, that is still good.
We ordered their appetizer platter and it was so sad and not worth the money. Four measly onion rings and the chicken strips were tiny - at least half of what we're used to.
We both got burgers and I requested fruit next to mine. Well, I ended up with fries and their reason being that at 2pm, they have run out of fresh fruit. My burger bun was dripping and sopped in BUTTER and my burger patty was this tiny little thing. I was so disappointed. I coudln't even finish it because that's how disappointed I was - I just wanted to go straight to dessert.
One of my biggest pet peeves is that I know that I look young..but when I am still eating my meal and you don't ask me if I want anything else, you put my check on the table!!! I am a young professional darn it! I am in my mid-20s so stop treating me like a high school kid!! (Then again - there were only two other tables there and those occupants were at least in their mid-50s, 60s)
I wanted to order pie but when waitors/waitresses do that - that really pisses me off and I don't want to order anything more. Instead, we just got a pie to go.

I was back in the old stomping grounds the other day and went here for lunch. Mostly the retiree, read the Sun Times, have 3 cups of coffee crowd. I am not expecting a life changing dining experience at Baker's Square but boy the service was terrible. They acted like they were swamped even though it wasn't crowded, maybe they were short staffed. We waited a long time for our food. They overcharged us and as we went to pay 3 other customers were complaining about the wait, service, etc. The pie was good though.
Not really a good place to go for an actual meal...but definitely an awesome place to get some really great dessert. Their pies are absolutely delicious. And they have so many to choose from! French silk, pecan, apple, cocunut creme...just to name a few. There's something for everyone here. I've been getting pies from here for years...and they have always been fresh and great tasting!
Yea the pies are awesome. They are priced pretty well and the place is clean and not smelly.
