• "FABULOUS! And I normally don't even like lemon pie. This recipe is fantastic and easy to make. My husband took one piece and went for seconds! I used Meyer lemons, which are a cross between lemons and mandarins... yummy! I added a bit more lemon juice than the recipe called for and it was just perfect because Meyer lemons are a bit less tart than regular lemons. I will make this again and again. Thank you for posting this great recipe!"

• "Just like my grandmother's. Very good. Be careful when you cook - the top can burn quickly. I had to have a do-over with the first one I made because the top burned. But the 2nd was great."

• "Loved this pie. I made this pie for a friend who loves anything lemon. It was a great hit. I really liked the texture and lemony flavor of this pie. This one is a keeper. Thanks for sharing your mother's recipe with us."

• "Very good! I did make a meringue to go ont top using 6T of sugar, cream of tarter, 4 egg whites and a dash of vanilla. I added it 10 minutes before it was done. It turned out great! Thank you!"

• "Very good! Perfect texture, lots of lemony flavor. My son commented that this pie had less of an eggy taste than others which is a good thing. Used a 9-inch pie plate and the pie was quite thin. Next time I might try doubling the filling amount and using a 10-inch plate, but I hate messing with a good thing:) Thanks for sharing the recipe!"

• "I made this pie for thanksgiving 2011. Its very good with a not to sweet lemon flavor. I actually prefer a tiny bit sweeter pie. I will make this again and not use splenda."

• "Have never had a chess pie before, so have nothing to compare it to, but thought it was outstanding. I even cheated and used margarine, but it still came out great."

• "This was soooo good!! It IS a lemon lover's dream. Just enough "tart" lemon flavor. I used a regular butter crust...next time I'll use a shortbread or nilla wafer crust. Thanks, beachgirl!!"
