"I was lucky enough to try bites of three: Drop Dead Gorgeous, The Drunken Nut (Bourbon pecan with a shortbread crust) and Buttercream Gang. They were all good."

Thrillist

"Pies so good you wouldn't want to waste by throwing 'em in someones face. Choose from scrumptious options like the Drunken Nut with bourbon pecan & shortbread crust."

Brooke Eliason

"A bourbon pecan pie served with a buttery shortbread crust. I’m an absolute sucker for a good pecan pie and this one absolutely took the cake (no pun intended)."

Robert Philpot

"The Drunken Nut, a bourbon-pecan pie with a shortbread crust. You can detect the bourbon, but it's the sweetness of the filling and the perfection of the chopped pecans that make this Emporium's most popular pie."

David Maez

"It’s not shocking that the best pie shop in Dallas also makes the best individual piece of pie. With this being Texas and all, pecan pie reigns supreme, and Emporium Pies takes that idea and, speaking straight to a Texan’s heart, adds bourbon to it to take it up a notch or three."

Amy McCarthy

"While not technically a restaurant, the pies at Emporium are hearty enough to consider a meal. Order up a slice of Drunken Operator (bourbon-pecan) and pair with a cup of coffee for an ideal afternoon snack."

Aaron Miller

"Head to their updated old house for of course their shortbread-crusted bourbon-pecan Drunken Nut."

Hayden Bernstein

"Desserts In Dallas That Will Ruin You (In A Good Way): The Drunken Nut at Emporium Pies - The Drunken Nut is an elevated version of a classic Texas pecan pie. "Elevated" meaning it’s loaded with pecans, bourbon, brown sugar, and butter."

Lauren Coe

"Can’t go wrong with a good Southern pie shop crafting everything from crust to filling straight from scratch. The aptly named Drunken Nut features a crispy shortbread crust, a brown sugar butter sauce, and Texas pecans. Crunchy, nutty with a bourbon bite to finish, this pie is a winner no matter how it’s sliced."
