Harrows Chicken Pies

Seems like the more stores they open the less quality the food has become. Chicken pies are more gravy than meat or vegetables. Pies always had a nice balance not anymore. This is the 4^th pie over the last 1.5 years that has been poor quality. Overall taste is great but I’m not paying for gravy. I’m paying for what’s in the name CHICKEN. Also purchased the chicken & rice soup. It tasted like water with chicken scraps and some rice thrown in… No flavor… They need to get back on track…

Hello
I called an ordered a family size chicken pot pie from your Saugus location on 11÷14÷15 at 630pm. I was told it would take an hour. I arrived at the Saugus location at 740pm and it was closed. Why was I not told that the pie would take 1 hour (bringing us to 730) but we close at 730. I was very disappointed because I love your chicken pot pies but very upset because now I had to find something to feed my family after they waited an hour already. It was almost 9 by the time we ate. This is unacceptable to not fair warn the customers that pies wont be ready till 730 but you close at that time. I hope that this doesnt happen again.

So in love with their pies! I go here every once in a blue to grab one to cook at home and I’m never disappointed! The best chicken pot pie I’ve ever had.

Asked for all meat chicken pie.. got a chicken pie with vegetables.. gravy was too thin and crust was paper thin…
The counter girl couldn’t have rushed me out any faster. Very disappointed! I was a big fan. now i will never go back !!

Open 7 days a week… NOT. Why would you say your open seven days a week when you’re not? We drove along way to get here only to find out that you are closed at 5:50 on a Sunday when it very clearly marks that you’re open until 7:30 PM. Bad bad bad business.

After hearing how great their chicken pot pies were I decided to try one for dinner tonight. I was not impressed and prefer the pies I make myself. I got one with vegetables (carrots and potatoes) I was hoping there would at least be peas too. Some of the potatoes weren’t completely skinned and obviously not washed and a couple of times it tasted like dirt. YUCK! The carrots weren’t cooked all the way and the chicken pieces were very chewy. If you want a chicken pot pie, save yourself $ 18 and just get a frozen one at the grocery store…

This was the first time I have been here and I thought the chicken pie and cornbread was great, I will definitely be back, I do wish they had more veggies in the pie rather than just carrots. It’s a great meal in a pinch.

Amazing chicken pot pie with all white meat! I wish there was peas or other veggies other than carrots but so good.

Why isn’t this an actual restaurant? Like who consciously goes here to buy frozen chicken pies? There is an oven in the back, they could just serve the pies and not freeze them. It’s disappointing.

Amazing! I don’t know what the other people are thinking. I’ve always loved Harrows. And they are fantastic when it comes to Charity as well. Give then a try!

I will keep this simple and sweet. Chicken is good, crust is good. This place should be called Harrows Gravy Pies. Gravy would be good if it was just a little. Please harrow pies stop cutting corners. I bought these pies when I lived in North Reading and they used to be good.

Come on people it’s not that bad. I mean what did you expect ??! It’s a pot pie for goodness sake. I thought it was pretty tasty, I just wish it had peas in it. If I was craving a pie & was in the area I would get one again. I think the price is worth it. & the mashed potatoes were good too.

Harrows chicken pie.
1./ There is a disproportionate ratio of potato to chicken.
Chicken should be the 1^st or 2^nd ingredient in the filling.
(IMHO potato’s should be a side to a pie.)
2./ So bland in taste…
A chicken pie should taste like… Chicken.
Their pie is more like a weak chicken soup with a dough covering that is like a sheet of glue.

I should have listened to the reviews. But I really wanted something quick and easy so I tried harrows. It just have really no flavor at all. Whatsoever.
Honestly, the frozen ones from the grocery store are better. Sorry :(

Yuck.
Boyfriend and I had been driving past this place for months, and finally decided it was time. I mean, chicken pie!
What a huge disappointment. Literally the only tasty thing about the pie was the crust (I’ll give you that, Harrows, the crust was crisp and buttery and delicious). Everything else… big meh. The pieces of chicken were big (some a little too big, to be honest), but they didn’t have much flavor, probably because of the bland, flavorless goo they call gravy. We asked for one with vegetables, and I guess in Harrows-​speak, «vegetables» actually means «just a shitload of carrots and a few specks of potato.» The mashed potatoes we got had a funky taste, too.
F-​, zero stars, should be closed for crimes against foodmanity.

Harrows makes a solid chicken pie just like New England grandma’s have for years: high quality meat, carrots, potatoes and a pretty decent crust. If you like your chicken pie pretty plain (i.e. New England style) then a Harrow’s pie will please you.
I personally like a little more variety: dark meat with the white, a green vegetable like peas with the carrots and potatoes and a little more seasoning.
That said we will probably pick these up now and then. They make a nice meal after work and they are relatively healthy. One challenge is to get the top nice and brown because its very thick. I think we’re going to try turning on the convection feature next time to give it a little more browning on the top.

Harrow’s recently ran a fabulous deal where you could try an apartment sized ($ 12) for FREE… how could I resist??? I picked up the one you have to cook at home with veggies and I thought it was delicious. No complaints at all. The service was friendly and prompt. I probably won’t be a frequent visitor because I don’t eat Chicken Pot Pie all the time… but it will definitely be a once in a while treat.

Harrows was a sight for a sad eyes err a hungry belly on Route 1. I had no idea they now had a location in Saugus. I usually visit their Reading location. Tucked away, almost out of sight, in the Trader Joe’s plaza, you will find the newest Harrows location. They offer the same delicious fare and great customer service as their other locations.
If you’ve never tried a Harrows chicken pot pie, you really need to. It is the most delicious chicken pot pie that I’ve ever tasted, and it never disappoints. I always buy with the veggies (carrots and potatoes), but you can buy with just meat. The prices and portion sizes are fantastic. If you buy the largest size, be prepared for left-​overs. They offer frozen, fresh that you have to bake, and already baked. I always try to get the already baked because it’s great to come home and have supper ready instead of the hour or so it takes to make it.
Along with the pies, they offer gravy, squash, mashed potatoes, rolls, and an assortment of fruit pies. I’ve tried the blueberry and it was yummy. Prices on these items are great, and the food is terrific quality.
Customer service in all locations is superb. Even when they’re busy, you don’t feel forgotten and you never have to wait too long. They’ve got dishing out their pies down to an art form! Everyone is always pleasant, no matter how hectic the store is.
If you’re hungry for some warm comfort food during this soon to be very cold end of Fall and Winter, do yourself a favor and sample a pie (or two, or three…). You’ll feel better in no time!
