About

About Baker's Square

Baker's Square began as a pie-focused family restaurant concept in the 1970s and grew into a chain of over 200 locations across the United States during its peak years. The brand became a fixture of Midwest dining culture, particularly in the Chicago suburbs and the Twin Cities metro area of Minnesota, where its bright red-and-white signage and rotating pie case were familiar landmarks for generations of families.

The chain passed through several ownership groups over the decades, including a period under Perkins Restaurant & Bakery's parent company. After a series of closures and consolidations, Baker's Square today operates roughly 15 locations concentrated in Illinois and Minnesota. Despite its reduced footprint, the restaurants maintain the traditions that made the chain famous: pies baked fresh on-site every day, an all-day breakfast menu, and a broad selection of American comfort food entrees served in a relaxed, family-friendly dining room.

The pie program remains the heart of the Baker's Square experience. Signature varieties like the French Silk — a dense chocolate mousse pie in a pastry crust — have earned the chain a devoted following and spawned countless imitations. Seasonal pies such as Strawberry in summer and Pumpkin in fall draw regulars back year after year, and whole take-home pies are a popular option for holidays and family gatherings. For dessert-first diners and pie enthusiasts, Baker's Square remains one of the last full-service pie-centric restaurants still operating in America.
