Moffett's Family Restaurant

Nestled on South Baldwin Avenue in the historic suburb of Arcadia, Moffett's Family Restaurant & Chicken Pie Shoppe offers a warm, family‑friendly dining experience that has been a community staple for five decades. The centerpiece is the legendary Moffett's chicken pot pie, a buttery, flaky crust filled with tender dark meat, garden vegetables and a rich, savory gravy that has earned a loyal following. Guests can also enjoy classic American comfort dishes such as the Traditional Club sandwich, a juicy cheeseburger with 1000‑Island dressing, and a rotating soup of the day. The menu includes vegetarian pastas, fresh salads, and seasonal specials like the March 14 Pie Day BOGO offer ($3.14 each) and a St. Patrick’s Day Corn Beef plate. Owner Sandra Moffett greets regulars by name and oversees the kitchen, ensuring the pot‑pie recipe stays true to the original family formula handed down since 1976. The interior combines retro memorabilia with soft lighting, wooden booths and a small counter where the aroma of fresh pies drifts through the dining room. Open daily from 8 am to 8 pm, the restaurant closes only on Christmas and New Year’s Day. Take‑out and delivery are available through Uber Eats, DoorDash and Grubhub. The patio, shaded by mature oak trees, provides a pleasant outdoor option in the mild Southern California climate. Kids love the “Pie Kids” menu, while seniors appreciate the easy‑to‑read menu and quiet corner booths. Moffett's also supports local schools by offering catering for events and providing a scholarship fund for culinary students. Reservations can be made by phone or online, and the friendly staff is happy to accommodate dietary restrictions, including gluten‑free crusts upon request.
