Whenever we're on this side of town, we love visiting this particular Marie Callender's location. They have freshly baked pies on the daily. This Marie Callender's location on Atlantic Blvd. also provides great customer service. During this visit, we purchased their classic Apple Pie, Chocolate Cream Pie and Custard Pie. These are our favorite Marie Callender's pies. One of my other favorites are the Keylime Pie and Strawberry Cheesecake. So good! Also whenever you come back to purchase more pies don't forget to bring the tins back. If you bring the tins back they will credit you $0.80 per tin. read more

We hadn't been to this Marie Callender's location in years and decided to give it another try, but we definitely won't be back. The inside looks old and really needs an update. They also seemed totally understaffed because we only saw one server working the whole floor, and it was quite busy, especially on Mother's Day, so it took quite a while just to order. They had AYCE Brunch but closed at 2 p.m. We got there around 1-ish, so we skipped the AYCE Brunch. We ordered the Honey Ginger Glazed Salmon ($24.99), Mini Chicken Pot Pie Combo ($17.99), Albacore Tuna Melt ($16.99), Onion Rings ($1.99), and the Artichoke & Mushroom Chicken Dinner ($29.99). As for the food, the Honey Ginger Glazed Salmon had an okay glaze, but the salmon itself was a bit dry. The Mini Chicken Pot Pie combo came with a Caesar salad and a free slice of apple pie, but the pie was way too soft, and the pot pie texture wasn't nearly as good as the one I had at Moffett's in Arcadia, despite having a flaky crust. The Albacore Tuna Melt was actually pretty decent with the melted cheese, avocado, tomato, and bacon on sourdough, and the onion rings were good and crispy. Finally, the Artichoke & Mushroom Chicken Dinner came with a pretty good potato cheese soup. I liked their flavorful rice pilaf, but the chicken breast itself was way too dry, and the coconut cream pie dessert had a completely wrong texture. Overall, between the slow service and the dry food, it just wasn't worth it. We are definitely skipping this location from now on. read more

The food, bomb. I had the shepherds pie which I forgot The coconut cream pie?? I'll have 10 of those please. The atmosphere, chill. Now the service, where was my water when we ran out ? Overall. I'd give this place a 3/5 stars. My server was friendly, amazing. I'd go back to give it a second chance, but definitely that pie stole my heart. We will definitely come back and in hopes I can give this place 5 stars read more

Food was good, server did a great job. Portions of the serving were pretty decent. I will definitely go back and try another dish. read more

We were glad to find this location still in business and made it a point to go check it out. The place is tired, signage looks old in the entrance and front counter area. My Turkey dinner was extremely salty. It did look nice! My dining companion's pot pie had next no chicken in it. Our food server never checked on how our meals were, did he know? We were seated by the bar by an intoxicated loud man and his elderly Father. It might be wise to not sit in that area. I was so looking forward to this. There is another Marie Callendars to the East, I believe, and they have higher ratings. It's really a shame, they use to be so good, then I'm probably relying on memories from over 20 years ago. read more

Marie Callender's - A chicken poor "Signature Pot Pie" Funny, I didn't read it was vegetarian! - American Near Me - Monterey Park, California

I used to go to Marie Callender's in Glendale a very very long time ago. But, it was permanently closed a very long time ago. So when my friend said she wanted to stop by Marie Callender's during our Palm Springs trip, I thought it would be a nice nostalgic visit -- and we went. We arrived around noon and ordered the 2 for $52 deal, which included an appetizer, entrée, and a slice of pie for dessert -- a great value. (And, I ordered decaf coffee). For the appetizer, we first ordered the cheese sticks, but they were unfortunately not good at all. We asked if we could switch to something else, and they allowed it. My friend chose the artichoke dip instead, and that one was very good. For entrees, we ordered the Stroganoff with noodles and the chicken fettuccine pasta. Both dishes were tasty and satisfying. For dessert, we chose the banana cream pie and the chocolate pie -- both were delicious. However, the service was a big issue. Our waitress rarely came by even when we tried calling her, and she didn't check on us for long periods of time. My friend even had to walk over toward the kitchen area multiple times to get her attention, and even then we still had to wait quite a while. Later, the waitress explained that there was a big party group, which made it difficult for her to come to our table. (On my way back from the restroom, I also saw the party -- my friend said it looked like a baby shower.) But honestly, this explanation didn't make much sense to me. The restaurant had many empty tables, and there were plenty of other servers. A restaurant should assign one server to the large group and still have another server properly handle the smaller tables. The lack of organization really showed. Another issue: our table filled up with dishes and wasn't cleared promptly. Because of that, when I was trying to put leftovers into a to-go box, I accidentally spilled the entire Stroganoff onto the floor. OMG. It was embarrassing, but at the same time it happened partly because the table was just too cluttered. Fortunately, another staff member quickly came over and cleaned it up. We moved to another table to enjoy our pies, but again, no one came by for a long time. Eventually, I had to walk to the counter myself to pay and hand them my card. The restaurant server was friendly, but the service felt very unorganized, slow, and frustrating. Being ignored for long stretches, having to keep going to the kitchen to find our server, and waiting endlessly just to check if we needed anything -- all of it made the experience much less enjoyable. read more

It wouldn't be a birthday celebration without the banana cream pie. I stopped in shortly after opening on Wednesday so it was pretty empty. They offer plenty of parking adjacent to the restaurant in their open private lot. In addition to the pie, I also picked up oatmeal and chocolate chip cookies. They are baked fresh daily, are larger than most and pretty delicious. At $1.24 each, they taste even better. There's a $5 off promo on all pies right now. As far as the service, I was a bit underwhelmed considering I was the only one ordering and the two at the pie counter were very focused on setting up the area than on the customer experience. Perhaps training was taking place. read more

Please be cautious! We ordered from the happy hour chicken wings and we found a mini roach! So gross thank goodness I saw it before eating anything. It also didn't help that the waiter kept denying it and said that was a chili flake. Check your pies and food before eating. Avoid if possible probably has more mini roaches! read more

It is Christmas .... So went to Marie Callender to get a Turkey dinner and a banana pie. It is a banana cream pie not as good as as the Marine pie, but still pretty good. The dinner I bought it for someone else, but the turkey looks like thick pieces and plenty of foods. The turkey dinner was $20, but it is ok. It is Christmas. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all. Ray out. read more

I came here to pick up a few pies to go. It was hard to get through to the bakery counter because people would be in the way at the host's station. The staff member that assisted us was very nice. It was a busy weekend, so they had quite the line waited to be seated. This is one of the places where I can find a plethora of pies. read more

My family and I have been coming here for the last 20 years. I met up with a friend yesterday for dinner and we figured this would be a great spot so we can catch up. I noticed the place inside looked dreary, worn out and shabby. When we sat down we noticed that there were little bugs flying near our table. At first we didn't think it was that bad. But before we new it, they were flying around our food and we were constantly trying to fan them away from our table. The dinner was pretty good, but it was hard to enjoy when we were worried they were going to land on our food. On our way out, I went to get cookies from the glass enclosure where they keep muffins, cookies etc. Unfortunately, the same bugs were flying inside where the baked goods were kept. I don't think I will be eating here again. read more

I usually like this place but they do typically forget something on the to go orders and today I got a moldy tomato in my Frisco works burger. Good thing it fell apart so I didn't eat the disgusting tomato. I definitely wasn't able to eat the rest of my burger. I can't believe they even put this on the burger! This also means they just cut the produce they know is bad and serve it. I'm highly disappointed! read more

Holy crap this place has gone downhill. The food was absolutely disgusting, and the pie slices tasted awful. The pot roast was chewy af, and tasted so bad. It's mostly busy at the bar area, with a bunch of drunks cursing out loud. Never coming back here. What a waste of money. read more

Been coming here for YEARS. I've had issues but not many. I once stopped going for a few months after someone didn't want to give me my double turkey croissant and said that isn't an option anymore. Looks like they're not there anymore and that double still is. *shurg* Shout out to Michael and Fernando. 2 awesome waiters I've consistently had throughout the years. The turkey croissant club is my favorite thing here. The pot pie is second. The burgers third. I haven't bothered to try much else. Other people I have gone with have mixed reviews on the other stuff they have gotten such as the open face turkey sandwich and fish sticks. Peach pie, French apple pie, lemon meringue pie are all awesome. Cozy dining area. Dim lit, especially the bar area. If you haven't gone, go. Recommended. read more

Marie Callender's - What was in my chili?!?! - American Near Me - Monterey Park, California

Marie Callenders has the best banana cream pie you'll ever taste!! That is the main reason I chose to come here for my birthday dinner. We came on a Wednesday evening around 6:30 PM and our party of 4 was able to be seated right away. There was plenty of parking outside so no need to worry about that. I think there was a happy hour going on, so our appetizers were 50% off. - Fresh Avocado and Shrimp Stack (5/5): So fresh, so tasty. The serving size was the perfect amount, if not more! So worth it - Cheesy Spinach and Artichoke Dip (4/5): The first few bites were really good. However, after a while, I got sick of the flavor because it started smelling kind of funky but it's just because of the cheese. - Southwest Avocado + Shrimp (5/5): This salad was pretty good. We opted in for the grilled shrimp which was so flavorful. - Homestyle Beef Stroganoff (4.5/5): Stroganoff is always a hit or miss for me. I actually really liked the one I ordered here. The sauce was so creamy and the meat was tender and tasted delicious. I think I could go for a little bit less sour cream next time though. - Shrimp and Chicken Carbonara (4/5): This pasta dish was okay, nothing too crazy but also not bad. I think next time, I will order it without peas because I wasn't a fan of them in the dish. - Margarita Flight (5/5): Alcohol content was really good. The flights were large in size, which lasted us a while. My favorite was the mango margarita because it tasted like a mango mexican candy. - Banana Cream Pie (5/5): When I think banana cream pie, I think Marie Callenders. You can never ever go wrong with the pie here. It has the perfect amount of sweetness and creaminess. The bananas were all fresh and everything else was perfect down to the little almond slices on top. This is also a good place to go to if you want something small while watching a sports game. When I went, the Dodgers were playing and everyone was hyped up. Our server was also so friendly and helpful. I'll be back in the future for more banana cream pie!! P.S. for your birthday you get a free slice of pie! read more

I went to Marie Callendar's with a couple of friends and we had a really enjoyable evening. We ordered the $49.00 Shareable Deal which included 1 Appetizer, 2 Entrees and 2 slices of Pie. We both chose the Turkey Club Croissant with Fried Green Beans as our appetizer and German Chocolate Pie and Chocolate Silk Pie for our desserts. The Fried Green Beans were done to perfection and the portion was ample. The Turkey Club Croissants had a generous portion of Sliced Turkey on a Soft Buttery Croissant with Bacon making this the perfect sandwich. The Fries that came on the side were excellent. Their German Chocolate Pie with milk chocolate custard, coconuts and almonds is my favorite pie and it was as good as ever. The Chocolate Silk pie is a close second favorite of mine with a delicious chocolate crust and perfectly balanced chocolate mousse filling. Our server was accurate, cheerful and checked-in on us frequently. This is one of my favorite Marie Callendar locations because it's nice and cozy without being overly dark. The inviting displays of Pies, Amazing Muffins (you have to take some home with you) and Cookies greet you as you enter the restaurant. Marie Callendar's has an extensive menu so you're bound to find a favorite for everyone in your party. I can't wait to eat there again! read more

We decided to stop by because we hadn't been to this location. The restaurant is really outdated. There's dust on furniture, water damage on the ceiling and plastic bags/open boxes in the dining room. The food is subpar. I ordered the chicken pot pie and the potato and cheese soup. The crust of the pot pie was good, but the filling didn't impress me. The coleslaw it came with was even worse. I had one bite and it tasted like it was spoiled. The chicken seemed frozen and the filling was pretty salty. The soup was okay. The lemon meringue pie was okay. A lot of the other pies were sold out so we didn't have many choices. The service was good and that was the best part of this dining experience. read more

Came to Marie Callender's today for lunch and was pleasantly surprised at how delicious everything was. I really enjoyed the corn bread and honey butter and my mini chicken pot pie deal. The mini chicken pot pie deal comes with 1 mini pot pie, a side salad of your choice (it was huge!) and your choice of a slice of pie. It was the perfect amount of food and a great price at $17.99. I got the banana cream pie at the end and it was also so creamy and good. The perfect amount of sweetness honestly. The service was great and we had no complaints. My fiance tried the lemon cheese pie and that was also sooo good! It taste like lemon meringue and cheesecake had a baby haha. Delish! Must try. This place overall has a cozy homey feel to it. I'll be back for their brunch specials. read more

I love Marie Callender's. I've been going since I was a kid. It's nice that Marie is family oriented and always a pleasant experience. Service is always good. Not great but good. Servers seem to have big stations and have lots to do. The food is pretty consistent. Always hot and good. Always hits the spot. And of course you can't leave without having a slice of their famous pies. Apple and banana cream pie are my favs. read more

We stopped by for a late dinner and enjoyed the nice and quiet ambiance. We arrived close to 7pm and there was no wait. We were greeted and seated right away and received friendly and attentive service the entire time. The waitress brought a kids menu coloring page and a very tasty cornbread and sweet butter for the table while we decided on what to order. This was perfectly timed and a nice little distraction and appetizer for my niece while we waited for her/our food to arrive. We ordered the turkey meal from the kids menu which thankfully arrived first. Everything in the dish tasted great and was a very nice and large portion. I loved how there were a variety of nice regular meal dishes and not just the typical kids menu items. My 5y.o. niece loved everything, even if she couldn't finish it. We ordered the chicken and shrimp pasta and the steak and shrimp entrées and those were nicely portioned as well and tasted great. For dessert we got the coconut cream, lemon and sour cream and the German chocolate pies which were all delicious! But the lemon and sour cream was surprisingly good and enjoyed it better than the regular lemon merengue pie. It's always a nice experience especially with a free and delicious birthday pie slice in the end (sign up and mention it). Definitely recommend if you're looking for something low key with a vintage restaurant feel. P.S. They do have a separate area with bar seating and a tv for watching sports. They also have free popcorn with a funny angry sign to remind people not to self serve. There's plenty of parking and a ramp to ease entrance for people with a handicap. read more

My mother in law wanted a roasted turkey dinner so we had our family dinner here on a Friday evening. They were able to seat our party of 7 quickly. We opted for the quieter side opposite the bar and dining room with the TVs. The bar looked full & lively when I passed by, even saw a few people standing. The other side is quieter even though there were quite a few people dining early at 6p. Our server came quickly and we were able to give our orders right away. Our food came quickly and the portions were a good size. The turkey dinner, chicken & broccoli fettuccine and vegetable soup, salad, and Quiche were all filling and delicious. The only negative comment I have is that the food is a little saltier than how I like it. read more

The food was good, well served and cooked on point. Mine was a bit spicy but was able to eat and mine enjoyed her shrimps. For dessert I had the strawberry cheesecake that I love, love getting it for years and my friend got cheesecake she loves it. We drank Margaritas and didn't know they were HuGE I couldn't finish it. The service was wonderful the guy told us that he has been working there for over 30 years. He was a sweetheart. The ambiance was ok we were next to the bar, we didn't like that, at the end we found out that the restaurant was on the other side, but we got seated by the bar. It was my friend's birthday she likes it there for me personally, wouldn't come back for the food, just for the strawberry cheesecake that I love and the corn bread too. I gave it 5 stars because of the service. read more

Came for the $30 brunch before 1030am and it was bomb and absolutely worth it! They have omelet station, salmon, steak, French toast, walffes, fruit toppings, all kinds of pies (and if you don't see the pie out you can request ANY pie from the back), fruit section, enchiladas, chiliquiles, biscuit gravy, and much much more. Def come before 1030 because it gets packed. I left so full and ready for a nap read more

I like Marie Callender's pies: banana cream, pumpkin, pecan, lemon cream cheese, key lime and apple are my favorite. I don't really dine in often because I think their food is pricey for the quality. When I do dine in, I always get the mini chicken pot pie combo that comes with a Caesar salad and a slice of pie. The chicken pot pie is good, but could use more crust. I usually ask for saltine crackers too because half way thru eating it, the crust is usually gone. The salad is okay and doesn't taste that fresh. My favorite part of the meal is the slice of pie which I usually get to go. Customer service is okay. They seem to always be busy and were understaffed during my last visit. read more

We came on Easter Sunday at 4 pm. 30 minutes wait time. Lots of people. The parking lot was full. The inside could need a bit renovating. It's kind of an older atmosphere and musty. I had the pot roast. It was ok. A little bit on the salty side. If you guys order this, ask the server to put the sauce in the side. For dessert, some of the pie favorites were not available, but we managed to try some different kinds. read more

I miss having a Marie Callender's near our house. I think the one that was by us turned into a Rite Aid; so sad. There's not that many MC's left, so am happy I stumbled upon this location in Monterey Park! One cannot go wrong with the pies here. Reasonably priced and good. My family likes: the fruit (apple, boysenberry, rhubarb.) and cream pies (banana, coconut, chocolate.). The food here is standard diner type fare; if you set your expectations right- it's seriously not bad. Service is friendly and environment is unpretentious.

Truly disappointed in our visit here. The quality of service and food has really gone down and it shows. We came here yesterday at about 7:30pm for a party of 15. After being seated it took a while for our waiter to come, it being a big party we were really understanding but there were 15-20 minute wait times before the server would come to brings our drinks and eventually order our food. Most of us order pot pies only for our waiter to come back 20 minutes later to tell us there is only 1 pot pie left and kitchen was closing in 5 minutes. Once we reordered our food everything was subpar at most with some food being room temperature. Waiter doesn't come to refill or check on us for literally 30 minutes. We had all originally ordered banana cream pies just to find out that at the end of the night that there are no more and we had to again change our order. Needless to say I don't understand how this business is still running, half of the time it's empty yet they seem to struggle with service. Never coming back here again, we didn't even get an apology or accommodated anything for the inconvenience ( not that we were expecting that) but even asking would have went a long way. read more

Best place for pies but idk how I feel about their food .. I was expecting a simple appetizer, spinach, dip, artichoke, but it came with all these other things like onions, tomatoes I don't even know what else is in there, but it does not taste good and online order does not indicate what it comes with, and there was no indication to add or subtract any of these added vegetables in there so it doesn't work for someone that is picky or expecting just a plain artichoke dip. I tried to reheat it to see if it would taste better and it taste gross. read more
