East Fork Pasty Company — Restaurant in Calumet Township

Having now visited East Fork Pasty Co. several times, I've had the pleasure of experiencing their pasties through both online-preorder and walk-up methods. The process of reserving an order online was very user-friendly, and the service has consistently been personable and efficient. The standout feature of these pasties for me has always been the perfectly crisp crust and flake that holds its shape, making it a great convenience food. The pasty not only eats well but, from my experience, I have not yet cared to add any dressing or gravy of my own. The filling, in all of their varieties of pasty, has proven to be consistently balanced and decently seasoned.

Additionally, it's worth noting that East Fork Pasty Company operates exclusively on Sundays and Mondays from 12:30pm 'until-sold-out’ or 2:00pm, adding to the allure of their exceptional small-batch, handcrafted pasties. The limited opening hours contribute to the unique charm of this establishment, where the demand for their delectable products often results in quick sell-outs. This only adds to the allure and exclusivity of their fantastic offerings.

I highly recommend this new pasty window shop based out of...

I would like to start by saying that I don’t like pasties. They are too dry and boring. While visiting the area, we were convinced to go get pasties at “the guy on the corner of 3rd and Elms.” Let me tell you, I am SO glad that I listened. These pasties are incredible. They offer 3 kinds: original, jalapeño, and veggie (delicious portobellos in place of the meat). If you ask ahead of time, he will make you a jalapeño veggie one, which is my personal favorite. But all of them are delicious!! I do recommend preordering, as they usually sell out. My husband and I now make it a point to get these at least once a year, and we live 8 1/2 hours away. They are worth the trip! While we love the charm and people of Calumet, what really keeps us coming back are...

East Fork makes the best pasties I’ve ever had! We had the Habanero, the Vindaloo, and had to try the Original. We were blown away by not just the taste, but the creativity of the flavors and how beautiful they were. I also have to add that the owner was SO nice and had a little down time to come out and talk with us for a while and get to know each other a bit. He is an incredibly kind person with an amazing story. We will make it a point to stop here and support this amazing family and their perfect pasties every time we are in the area. The whole experience...
