Elisa’s House of Pies and Restaurant

Always, and I mean always, we are so pleased with the delicious home made food, the friendly impeccable service and the pie we always take home! If you’re in a rush, call ahead. If you want a good sit down meal and visit, come in!!!! Sometimes we ride from Alamogordo just for a meal! Always on our way to or from Tucson, it’s a must stop for us.

This establishment has resided here for 15 years. What a testament to the yummy food. Consumed a meatloaf sandwich, with beans and mash potatoes. The meatloaf was served on a toasted but soft bun. Totally made the sandwich. It was a tough pie choice. All my favorites. So I settled for a slice of sweet potato pie to eat there and took a key lime slice to have a date with later this evening. Google maps gives you incorrect directions. Its located in an alley behind where google maps tells you to drive. It is right beside the Wells Fargo bank parking lot. The owner is there cooking away so go and say hello and enjoy a meal. Or at least a pie!

Sweet lil hole in the wall with a literal mom n pop couple running their Southern diner nestled in the Southwest. Arnold Palmer was the perfect blend of sweet and tart.
Sweet cornbread was bomb, fresh mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes tasted like thanksgiving dinner, fried okra, BBQ brisket was all on point. Appetizer of
Catfish nuggets, coleslaw, was really good. Mac and cheese, puled pork or chicken and greens my date had the meatloaf and potatoe salad and he cleaned his plate so fast we didn't snap much photos 😂 everything was definitely southern comfort and hit you in your soul. 🕊️

As for the pies, we tried millionaire and french silk. Not our cup of tea but that's not to say someone else will feel the same. Everyone has different tastes. Definitely worth a try.
*Bring cash. 🤑

Home cooking in a quaint little place with 5 tables inside and a couple outside. It's a little difficult to find, because it's in the alley behind the Wells Fargo Bank. It's been owned for 13 years by a couple originally from Mississippi. He does most of the cooking and she bakes the pies. I hesitate to order meatloaf anywhere, but glad I did here. My husband had the skillet fried chicken...be prepared, that takes about 30 minutes, as it is cooked when ordered. We had no concerns about the wait, GOOD chicken is worth waiting for. YUM! A must try when in Deming!

We are moving cross country on the week of Thanksgiving and we just figured we would stop at Cracker Barrel today to make the most out of the holiday. Boy, am I glad I researched the area more for this gem. The food was impeccable and really tasted like home cooking. The meatloaf and chicken fingers were fantastic... the cornbread, Mac and cheese and mashed potatoes were delicious! Perfectly portioned. Customer service was so welcoming. Meant so much to us being away from family and friends on the holidays. Please do yourselves a favor and support this business. We hope both owners get to spend some time celebrating the holidays.
