mmm-yoso!!! welcomes you back for a quick look at a place to enjoy a meal. Cathy is writing and Kirk is enjoying this Independence Day long weekend.
I've written a few posts about the San Diego Chicken Pie Shop since 2006. The menu has expanded over the years. Comfort food, quick service, nice people both dining and working.
There are tabletop 'specials' which include soup and Cole slaw. (Of note, the pea soup here is vegetarian; no ham).
On this day, corned beef and cabbage was the Special ($11) This was very well made and had large portion of tender beef. It came with the carrots, green beans and potatoes as well as the cabbage.
The Pie Dinner (still $10) which also arrives with the finely chopped slaw and fresh, chewy, wonderful dinner rolls is the same as always; a sturdy yet light crust surrounding chicken and turkey and gravy-no vegetables as filler. It's served with mashed potatoes and a Vegetable of the Day.
Full meals are served with a choice of pie for dessert. This day, chocolate pie and peach pie were chosen. Again, the hose made crusts make this so wonderful…light and flaky and so very fresh.
Yes, three different daily fresh baked items- the dinner rolls, the chicken pie crust and the dessert pie crusts. It's why we are here on carb craving days.
A San Diego tradition for more than 80 years.

That’s my fav spot to get chicken pot pie.

the crust sounds heavenly!
It is the best chicken pot pie, Soo-the all poultry and gravy filling is exactly how I like it. The other offerings here are also comfort/good; I stare at the menu and think about the other choices, but still want that pie and sides. (That post is linked at the bottom of the first link on this post).
The crusts (and all the baking) is consistent and just right, Kat.
I remember when this place used to be on 5th Ave in Hillcrest. One of these days, Bert and I will have to try that chicken pot pie.
Oh yes, we went to that location too, cc. This hearty comfort food is a memory jogger for The Mister and I; Banquet pot pies were a freezer staple when in college and the chicken pies from here are so much ‘fancier’.
