History
The pie shop opened in 1914. Originally it was located on the Pacific Highway, but when the highway was replaced by the Pacific Motorway which did not permit roadside businesses, it relocated to larger modern premises just off exit 38 of the north-bound side of the motorway.
The pie shop was flooded in April 2017 following heavy rain produced by Cyclone Debbie.

Yatala Pie Shop appears on numerous "best of pie shop" lists, won a 2007 Family Business Australia award, and is one of Queenslands top 15 icons.
Landmark
The Big Pie on top of a post outside the shop is listed as one of Australia's Big Things.
