They have pies like my mother used to make. The crust is made with lard and is the best crust you will ever eat. There are... slices or whole you can buy. Some of the whole pies you can take home and bake. The variety of flavors is long and unusual. Place is worth the stop. Read more
If you haven't already eaten the pie here, WHY?! It doesn't matter if you live 5 minutes away or 50 minutes away. Get in the... car, drive here, and try all the pies. My faves are banana cream pie and strawberry rhubarb. Go visit, and be sure to take a pieor two to go. Or get 6 slices of 6 different types! Read more
Great slice of pie and in a nice seating area or take out a whole pie. If I were traveling in a RV; it would be worth a stop.... Your night's camping site would have delicious pie to accompany the scenery. There is a small park by the Amtrak station withinwalking distance of Myrtle's. A nice area if looking for outdoor seating to enjoy a pie from Myrtle's. They mostly have pie butwe also bought a cinnamon roll and banana bread. It will enhance your I 80 drive or your tour of Princeton. Read more
Oh my!!! This was my first trip to this local treasure. I LOVE PIE! I am always on the hunt for good pie. Ever since our... local Baker's Square went under, I have had a tough time finding a place that made great fruit pies. THIS IS THAT PLACE!! Igot a slice of apple, cherry and peach pies. I am going to try to restrain myself and eat only one piece every other day. Ihad a small sliver of each to taste and they were all delicious!! There was an option for everyone. Cream pies, fruit pies,seasonal pie and even had several options of fresh baked cookies. Everything looked so good. There are a few tables in thebakery and they have assorted hot and cold beverages to accompany their sweet treats. Next time I drive out, I am getting apiece to eat at the location to enjoy with a cup of coffee. I love the town of Princeton. Cute stores, antiques, restaurantsAND the best pie shop ever!! Read more
Every day is Pie Day at Myrtle?s. My visit took place on both 3/14 (Pi Day) and a Monday, and despite indicating they had a huge... weekend of sales, their selection was varied and outstanding. There were countless available flavors available by the slice,some available both baked and whole, and a freezer full of ?take and bake? pies and quiches equal in variety. For those diningin, there was hot coffee and hot chocolate available. My visit included two slices of pie at the restaurant with a cup ofcoffee, as well as a whole quiche and two slices of pie for friends. The French Silk pie was rich and decadent, and thestrawberry rhubarb was the perfect mix of sweet and tart. After hearing about the restaurant from a friend, I drove just overan hour to try it, and was not disappointed. The cashier told me that they regularly see people stretching from Peoria toChicago visiting regularly, some arriving with ?grocery lists? to take home for friends and coworkers. So if you plan a visit,check their menu for what?s available and consider phoning ahead for a frozen pie or quiche, flavor of your choosing, to takehome. Read more

The storefront is very unique. Inside are more pies than I've seen before in one place. The staff was friendly and helpful in... helping us choose. We had the strawberry rhubarb and a coffee one that had a very long name. Both were good. Their cinnamonrolls were also very good. I would stop here again when we are in the area. Read more
