Been craving a meat pie ever since my trip to New Zealand, so I looked up the best meat pies in Houston and one place that kept popping up was 2 Phat Bastards Pies inside POST Houston in downtown. Walking into the old Houston Post Office was pretty wild—it looks a lot different these days with all the restaurants and food vendors located inside the food hall. I've had meat pies in England, Australia, and New Zealand, with the New Zealand pie still being the best in my opinion. I ordered the pepper steak pie and a steak and mushroom. Everything was made to order and fresh. The wait time was about 14–15 minutes, but it was definitely worth it. The pie itself was excellent. The crust was nice and flaky, the gravy was rich and flavorful, and the pepper gave it a little spicy kick. The steak and mushroom pie was also really good, with a great gravy filling. Overall, 2 Phat Bastards Pies was delicious. The only thing we kept wondering was who the 2 Phat Bastards were because both employees working were skinny! If you're in the downtown area, it's definitely worth checking out. Two pies and two Cokes will run you around $30, and don't forget—parking downtown is going to cost you too.
