The Socialist
Take a stroll down Retro Row and snag a patio seat at this eatery specializing in shared plates and craft cocktails, along with a thoughtfully curated selection of rotating local beers and wines. This family-friendly eatery embraces the communal aspect of dining with a menu centered around shared plates. Though, once you get a load of their chicken pot pie, made with a flaky puff pastry crust, you may not want to share.
Bake n’ Broil
Nestled in Bixby Knolls is this famed diner, known for its dessert pies and for having one of the best chicken pot pies in the city. Their chicken pot pie features a thick, flaky crust, puffed to perfection and filled with savory peas, carrots and chicken in a thick, creamy soup. This neighborhood eatery tends to fill up fast on the weekends but counter seating is available on a first come basis.
The Ordinarie
This cozy pub situated in the promenade in downtown takes the concept of chicken pot pie and makes it shareable. A bowl of hearty vegetable roux is topped with puff pastry bites, meant to be ripped and dipped into the savory goodness. The aptly named chicken pot pie bites pair well with a pint of beer or any one of their house cocktails.
Cali Chilli
This local eatery takes a refreshing and playful approach to the concept of authentic cuisine, marrying traditional flavors and spices with modern dishes. Their take on a classic chicken pot pie uses a rich and creamy butter chicken as the filling as opposed to the typical peas and carrots. Two comfort foods in one dish? We’re in!
And for dessert….
