💔 Saying Goodbye to Sweetie Pie’s: A Local Favorite We’ll Always Remember

I was on the Next-door App last night and someone had posted saying Sweetie Pies in North Richland Hills will be closing tomorrow night at 9pm/ I called my sister who wanted to go to dinner right then and there.

I couldn’t blame her because the Rolls are slap yo mama good. You don’t need food when they keep bringing the Rolls and Butter to the table. I liked having lunch there because everyone was always so nice. Their lunch was only $10, and it was enough to share.

If you hadn’t had the opportunity to visit Sweetie Pie’s, it has been one of those places that quietly becomes part of your routine without you really noticing it at first. It wasn’t just somewhere to eat—it was one of those familiar stops in our everyday life around town.

For my sister and me, this became a place we looked forward to going back to again and again. Not because it was fancy or complicated, but because it had those simple things you remember—comfort food, a welcoming feel, and those little moments that stick with you more than you expect.

I even was able to have lunch here with my friend Debbie and she loved the food as much as I did. Charlie, David and I went for dinner several times and C loved the Chicken Fried Steak. David and I would come for Date Nites.

One of the things we always loved most were the rolls. Soft, warm, and comforting, they became something we would talk about even when we weren’t there. It’s funny how something so simple can become the part you remember most. David even picked up the Rolls for dinner sometimes.

Now that Sweetie Pie’s is closing, it feels different thinking about it. There’s that feeling of wanting just one more visit—not just for the food, but for the memory of it. Places like this don’t just serve meals; they become part of people’s routines, their stories, and their everyday lives.

It’s a reminder of how important local businesses are. They don’t just exist in a town—they help shape it. They give people a place to gather, to pause, and to build memories without even realizing it’s happening at the time.

We’re grateful we got to experience Sweetie Pie’s while it was here. Some places don’t just feed you—they stay with you. The funny part is it is part of Babe’s Chicken House and it was cheaper and the Rolls was better than Babe’s Chicken House which is remining open while Sweetie Pies closes. This stinks.

Thank you,

Glenda, Charlie and David Cates
