It is Saturday night and we had a filling meal at Pizza Getti for lunch. So we decided after some consideration to have pie for dinner. I have to tell you a banana split at Braum's was a very close second. So we did "The Streak" to Scumbscious Pie Company. This is a family owned business on the East side of Mesquite.
When the wifey and me got there, we decided to split a burger and onion rings, then have a piece of pie each. Sounds like a very solid plan.
The burger had the special Scrumbscious sauce on it. Basically this is Thousand Island dressing, but it was a pretty good taste on the burger. The burger also had massive amount of onion. Now you know Mitcho likes onion. Overall, this was a pretty good burger. Givin it 6.75.
The onion rings looked like they may have been home made which is a plus. Of course frozen ones are more consistent in the outcome. These were extremely greasy. I wanted to drain the grease and change the oil on my car. The breading had a good flavor, but they had been overcooked some and the breading was falling off pretty bad. If you get over the electric shock of massive grease, the rings tasted good. Givin em a 6.5.
Now it is pie time. Of course since they are a Pie Co., I had high expectations. This is going to cost them. If this was the Scrumbscious Burger Co, their overall rating would be higher for the same meal. But they say they are a pie company. When I go to a Pie Co. I am expecting some Meringue or Whip Cream that is to die for. I also expect a crust that is flaky and tasty. Wrong on all accounts here. The topping on my coconut pie was some coconut sprinkled on top of the filling. No Meringue or whip cream, come on what are they thinking. The filling did have a coconut taste and would have been acceptable if the topping and crust were good. The crust was soggy and not a great flavor. The wifey got chocolate pie which had not topping at all, the chocolate had minimal taste and soggy crust. So it didn't score points either.
Givin the pie a 4.5.
Overall, S crumbs gets a 5.5.
Next time I will get the banana split.
