Chicken Pie Diner

One of my best friends in the whole world asked me to grab some dinner and under no circumstances would I ever say no so we cruised up to Chicken Pie Diner in Poway. Styled in the old school diner style, I was looking forward to good old fashioned comfort food. Being Asian, I immediately noticed that we stuck out like a sore thumb in the joint and it was somewhat a shock to see so many obese Americans in one place. The food here would certainly be rib-sticking.

We decided to share the chicken pot pie dinner, the turkey dinner, and an Oreo shake. Just from looking at it, I could tell that we were in for a pretty heavy experience and I was eager to dig in. Once I did however, I found both dishes to be very "one-note" since it was all slathered in the same white gravy. It was difficult to get a distinct flavor out of anything and left our little table quite disappointed. At least the shake was satisfying but I know it would all eventually end up on my ass.

I really wanted to like this little diner but it fell quite a bit short of anything but mediocre. I hear the chicken pie place in Linda Vista is much better so I will be sure to give it a try next time. There's a big patio outside if you want to enjoy your meal while walking your dog. You're gonna need to do a lot more walking to work off this meal so get a move on!
