You want some home-style comfort food cooking like what you had as a kid? You want that steamy, gooey chicken pot pie? Go back in time by stepping into Moffett's Restaurant Sure, they have a lot of other goodies on the menu, but it's all about those chicken pot pies here at this retro 1960s era diner. Service was great. No reservations and plenty of parking. If you can't stay, get 'em to go. Just as good!
I'd come back to try other items. I loved the diner mom n pop vibe. I sat next to the Halloween skeleton, who was a quiet but pleasant seat mate. I wanted to try the German offerings like schnitzel...but since it was my first time, I went with their signature chicken pot pie, which resembles an empanada...the pot pie is a pale full moon with a mild chicken gravy...think Mrs Lovett in the musical Sweeney Todd. I was grateful it wasn't salty, and it was well formed, but I had two separate bites of chicken that had cartilage bits, so one time swallowed, another time spitting it out into a napkin...sorry to be graphic. In other words, eat it carefully if you order the pot pie. It was well stuffed with . The mashed potatoes were fine as was the corn kernals. The best part of the meal was the bread, super soft and the coffee... and...the Service, the service was the bright spot, very friendly staff. It's a fun adventure. And I like supporting mom n pop places. Would love to try the schnitzel!!
Everything was wonderful. The food was amazing as it always has been. Hot, flavorful, excellent quality. I've been going here for decades and it's always been great and even with new owners(so I've been told), the wonderful food is the same. The service was also top notch! My coffee cup was always filled, water never ran out, food was prepared and delivered promptly and fresh. The staff was friendly, happy and provided positive energy. The dining room was clean, comfortable, and everything on the table was in order and clean. They also had tons of breakfast, lunch, and dinner options I'll look at for future visits. Highly highly recommended!
A classic and worth a visit or two. As soon as I walked in, it felt like being transported back in time except everyone there were retirement age or older :). Kidding aside, everyone there were “experienced” and they all looked like they’ve been eating here for decades! Being my first time, I decided to try two of their pot pies as a dinner. I have to admit, I liked the beef better than the chicken but both were delish. If you like banquet pot pies like I do, think of this as the adult version and much better. Mashed potatoes potatoes and gravy were just ok as were the veggies, but took me back to school lunches and cafeteria food. Soup was chicken barley which was a first for me, but pretty good and to round out the dinner, the bread pudding which I didn’t get to eat because I was just too full. Service was very pleasant and quick. Price was a little high for the quantity and type of food, but happy to support a brick and mortar business anyway I can. If retirees can afford it for all these years, who am I to judge :)
I go here every year on my Birthday. I love the variety of food. You are able to substitute a veggie burger on a patty melt it is delicious. We had a great server named Yvette. The owner decorates for Halloween and Christmas. I was treated like royalty on my Birthday. The owner saw us struggling to take a selfie outside by the Christmas decorations and came out to take the photo for us. Great welcoming family environment. I have been coming here for many years. I moved away from Arcadia and still count this restaurant as my favorite!
This was our first visit back to Moffett’s Family Restaurant & Chicken Pie since it was taken over by the longtime main chef, and I’m happy to say everything we love about this place is still here! They’ve even added some new breakfast items and daily specials. Of course, their famous chicken pie is still the star of the show — we got the chicken pot pie with mashed potatoes and it was excellent. Comfort food at its best. Service is warm and friendly, and you can tell the owners really care about their guests. The place was buzzing when we went, and it’s great to see this neighborhood favorite thriving. We’ll definitely be back!

We ordered the chicken pie and tri trip pie, mini peach and cherry pie to go. The meat was cooked to perfection the gravy over the pie and mashed potatoes so delish it’s great comfort food. The mini loaf of bread that came with our dinner was the most softest freshest tasting bread I’ve had. We will definitely come back.
