| - This review is a little over-due.
I came here on a late weekday lunch before heading to the airport. Yelp seemed to really rave about this place & I'm a HUGE chicken pot pie fan.
I had only expected the food to be great, but omg the owners!!!! They were the most amazing and sweetest family! The mom & dad works in the kitchen and the son works the counters & kitchen. I ordered additional pies to-go so I could take it back home to CA and the mom took such good care of me! She packed up my food and they included frozen bottles of water to keep the pies frozen (you definitely don't want defrosted puff pastry, trust me!) I definitely felt like she was MY mom!
I ordered the double meal (chicken pot pie & the mushroom chicken pie fresh + fruit - orange)
DOUBLE MEAL
-I LOVE LOVE LOVE that they give you fruit as a side option! I chose the orange... the mom even cut the whole orange for me like my mom would!!! I felt like I was at home... but at a restaurant...
CHICKEN POT PIE
-Not the typical chicken pot pie (I expected white gravy, peas, carrots, etc) but this was very different. Still good but not what I was expecting. It tastes fancier, but less comforting. There's definitely rosemary in it, which I'm not a big fan of rosemary, but I still enjoyed this pie.
-Much drier than a normal chicken pot pie. The pie itself was not dry by any means, but it wasn't oozing w/ gravy
-Puff pastry was AMAZING! So crispy and buttery! I could just eat this alone!
-The chicken was really tender and was cooked very well
-Very generous portions of chicken
MUSHROOM CHICKEN PIE
-This was much more like a chicken pot pie that I'm used to - yummy gravy oozing out. So I actually enjoyed this one a lot more
-Again, amazing puff pastry...
-Really generous amounts of chicken & mushroom. I love mushroom!
Frozen chicken pot pie & shepherd's pie TO GO
-I'm not usually a huge fan of shepherd's pie but this one was really good!
-Re-heating was very easy. They have clear instructions on their packaging and tastes ALMOST as good as eating it fresh at their restaurant!
CONCLUSION:
-ADORABLE place! Amazingly sweet family that owns & runs this shop.
-Food is spot on! Very yummy even though chicken pot pie is not a typical pot pie like I'm used to
-One of the best puff pastry I've had in a VERY long time
If I'm ever in PHX, I'd definitely go out of my way to come here again.
