Heading home from the Gold Coast this afternoon, and Yatala Pies are selling Family Apple pies for just $6.50. For those that know their pies, you know how good this deal is! They had a fairly large shelving unit with about 5 shelves full of them about 3pm.
If you're buying small pies, theres a voucher for free peas/potato on the specials page of the website too.
but not on an apple pie please.
Based on your link, you should put in the title this is for QLD only…
The Gold Coast part doesn't give it away!?!?
Title didn't mention Gold Coast
@jv:
I guess, you're right. Considering there is only 1 other locality in Australia known as Yatala, the State should be mentioned in the title.
Don't want people confusing the deal for the prision in Yatala SA!

Predictable response from the famous jv.
Yes, based on fact
The word you're looking for is infamous.
JV you have had your head in the sand if you are not aware of Yatala Pies.
How many stores do they have?
Pretty sure there's only 1 (but it's HUGE) but they also distribute their pies via fund raisers all over SE Qld
@jv: all relative… jv, spackbase, and tightarse are famous amongst ozbargainers but plenty of others wouldn't have heard of them ;)
??? I've never heard of them either. So I also must have my head in the sand… Sober thoughts indeed.
Apparently the definition of famous is "jv has heard of them". Yatala Pies is indisputably famous in south east Queensland.
Their quality has gone downhill in recent years though.
Best pies in SEQ
Go away jv. You contribute nothing.
Negative utility is not nothing.
jv? Never heard of her.
Nooooope… Not the best, kinda overrated..
If you're in Mt gravatt brisbane give perfection a go! IMO much better than yatala.
Perfection? Is that the name of the place? I live close by and need a new pie store.
Piefection. Logan Rd, Mt Gravatt & a new branch now in Coorparoo. Excellent pies.
Sorry auto-correct.. Piefection
Years ago maybe. These days they're pretty average.
You need to get out more.
They are above average at best.
Just above NENSW ;)
Best pies in Australia!
have to disagree… used to be good but not any more.
Highly recommend you give Fernvale a go.

If the pies don't change your opinion then I'll buy you some of your 'best pies in Australia' for your family.
Inb4 JV asks where Fernvale is.
Gotta agree, Yatala Pies used to be good a long time ago.
Ashame it is in the middle of nowhere or a thoroughfare to somewhere.. I would like to give it a go.
Yup, fernvale pies are amazing. Beefies make pretty decent pies closer to town. Both far and away better than the rubbish yatala pies sell these days.
Fernvale bakery is worth a day trip though.
Never heard of them but this thread has convinced me that yatala will be my first stop when I am in gold Coast next
Its so famous it even has directions from the Pacific Motorway using the 'Brown - Tourism Related Road Signs'.
its between gold coast and brisbane.
Don't get too worked up about it - I've never been impressed with them.
I've even made better pies than I've eaten there - and I wouldn't be entering any pie comps.
You'll find better pies all over Australia at many smaller bakeries.
yes that's very true. When you make as many pies as they do in a day. Quality's never the same.
Yeah, they're good, but they're not as great as everyone says. Granted, I do like their pastry, but the filling is more often than not just gravy with little substance.
FWIW I prefer Syd's Pies, not much farther up the M1 (can see it from the highway). Pastry seems much nicer than present-day Yatala Pies.
Yatala Pies do make nice apple pies, though. Thanks to the OP.
Syds pies is WAYYYY better
Definitely best pies I've ever had. Just never get a bloody chicken pie ever again! That wasn't a good experience.
So best pies ever, except when they are not.
Indeed. But I learnt the lesson you don't go to a pie shop to order chicken.
That wasn't a good experience.
Possibly a hygiene issue with this store then?
Why would you suggest it was a hygiene issue?
What's the saving here? Doesn't this belong in the forum?
They're normally $8
Any deals on the Samsung pies?
I'm sure you could find a good raspberry pi deal.
Yes…Raspberry Pi Zero!!!
Best Pie in Yatala for sure!
Clearly nobody here has tried Piefection
logan road? i love their pies!
Their product is great, just wished I didn't feel like a tradie everytime I buy a pie… They would go gang busters if they had a better store and eating environment (similar to how burger places are now.).
Sit on the picnic tables outside on the grass. Beautiful.. apart from the motorway noise.
Thanks for the tip. Do not know this one but will give it a try.
Try their jack Daniels pie
Cheers!
Freddos pies!
cant beat a camel or emu pie :s
Magpies are pretty good…unless ur being attacked by one!
YAKala are great if you love minimal meat, maximum gravy content. I still can't believe the patronage of this place when there are so many better alternatives…Piefection as mentioned for one.
I do enjoy a Beefy's pie up here on the Sunshine Coast too - much better filling than Yatala!
Totally agree! Always make a point of stopping by on the way to Bribie
Last time I went in I was waiting in the queue and the girl behind the counter was scraping around the glass display that the chips are in, collecting all the scraps. I was expecting her to throw them in the bin and load up the fresh ones. No. She tipped them onto a pie and served it to a customer in front of me.
I walked out and never went back.
