An additional hints that aren't mentioned in pho's original posting: There's 5 couples. Each couple shares one pie.
Have fun.

Nice! I have a question as I'm not familiar with the format of these types of question. Is there only one answer to this particular type of question? Because I tried and got a slightly different answer (granted at the last minute I switched wifes because one of the pies couldn't fit unless I did). But I've re-read each sentence and logically mine can work unless I've made a mistake.
Sitting at Table#1
Phil + Darla -> Apple
Larry + Fran -> Cherry Cream
Hank + Bonnie -> Peach Cream
Sitting at Table #2
Dave + Kathleen -> Banana Cream
Bob + Nancy -> Blueberry
It meets the criteria:
1. Bob did not eat a cream pie (check: he ate blueberry)
2. Neither Hank nor Nancy's husband ate banana cream pie. (check: Hank ate Peach Cream, and Bob ate Blueberry)
3. The three couples at table number one were Phil and his wife; Fran and her husband; and the man who had cherry cream pie
and his wife. (Check: Phil, Fran, and man who ate cherry pie are sitting at Table #1, and Larry indeed is eating Cherry Cream Pie)
At table number two were Dave and his wife, who is not Bonnie; and Kathleen and her husband, who did not eat apple pie. (Check: Dave is indeed sitting at Table#2, as is Kathleen and Kathleen's husband is indeed not eating Apple, he's eating Banana Cream)
4. Larry sat between Darla's husband (who did not eat a cream pie) and Hank. (Check: Yes, Larry is sitting between Darla's husband who is Phil and Hank).
