Bakers Square

Bakers Square is a casual dining restaurant chain in the United States, renowned for its extensive selection of pies and a diverse menu that includes breakfast, lunch, and dinner options.

Established in December 1969 as Mrs. C's in Des Moines, Iowa, the restaurant gained popularity for its pies. In 1983, VICORP, the owner of the Village Inn chain, acquired and rebranded it as Bakers Square.

As of June 2025, Bakers Square operates multiple locations across several states. The restaurant is celebrated for its award-winning pies, including favorites like French Silk, Southern Pecan, and Harvest Pumpkin.

These pies are available in various sizes, from individual slices to whole pies, catering to different preferences.
