Lookin' for some good old fashioned chicken pies for lunch or dinner? Then check out Moffett's and the chicken on the roof.

The Bear Pit

The Bear Pit Bar-B-Q looks to be a good place to stop for some Missouri style eats. This rib joint is fortunately still around and as busy as ever.

(Many thanks to the numerous contributors advising that The Bear Pit is alive and well!)

Zucky's Deli (Closed)
Santa Monica, CA

Like the Bear Pit above, not sure if this place is still around. Zucky's Deli looked to be a good roadside stop back in its heyday, but the crude advances of time proved to be too much for this icon.

UPDATE 10/06 : Zucky's has been remodeled and is now open. Many thanks to Chris of Lottaliving.com for update. 10-06

UPDATE 12/07 : Zucky's has sat empty for the past 14 years.  The building and sign were renovated several months ago.  There is a sign in the window that the building will be a bank location (I forget what bank, it's not a big one).  That sign has been there for months, but there has been no activity inside (i.e., installing the things one would need to run a bank). Many thanks to Don Solosan for update. 12-07

UPDATE 02/08 : The bank has moved in and is now open for business.  Many thanks to Don Solosan for update. 02-08

Here's a shot of the James Restaurant in San Fernando. This towering marquee features a rather rotund chef grinning at the roadside travelers.

The La Palma Chicken Pie Shop has sat in Anaheim for many a year. Try out their classic chicken pies when you're in the area, or on the way to Disneyland.

The Wagon Wheel Restaurant is still open for business near the Wagon Wheel Bowl.

UPDATE 12/06 : You have the restaurant listed as still being opened, but I am sad to report that the restaurant and motel both closed this past Sunday (12/10/06), and have a date with the wrecking ball. Many thanks to Jeff Babb for update. 12-06

Chris & Pitts
Downey, CA

The Chris & Pitts Bar B Q on Lakewood Boulevard in Downey is another famous site. Ever need an extra helping of barbeque sauce on your chicken or steak? Just climb the pole outside and grab for the bottle. Most Chris & Pitts locations are unique in how they display their signage. This location in Downey is no exception and is a fun place to stop while visiting the historic McDonald's up the street.
