Chicken Pot Pie, Ceasar Salad, Corn Bread and ohhhhh my, slice of German Chocolate Pie! This comfort food for me, always consistent, service is good. If you haven't had it, give it try, if you have, then you already know!! read more

This is one of the nicer Marie Callender's restarants, with very authentic building construction and beatiful interior. The pie of the month is coconut cream and very delicious. I was helped immediately and service was quick and right on track. I wish the Los Angeles region had such nice Marie Callender's restaurants, which are both beautiful and have wonderful service! read more

This is one of a handful of remaining Marie Calendar's in existence. Since the corporate parent went bankrupt the individual locations have become more dissimilar. This one is well maintained and holds true to the original menu. I was impressed with the quality of the food. The speed of service and the price. The interior was last renovated to the craftsman cottage look. And yes if you look closely there are maintenance issues and odd uses of space. All in all it is an excellent choice for in my case brunch. Bonus the owner is reopening the Fontana location in August 2026. read more

There is a good reason we don't patronize Marie Callender restaurants anymore. We quit going long before Covid. We had felt their standards had been lost in a puff of smoke. Today, I was reminded of why, after ordering a chicken salad to go for $15.99. I chose the "NEW!" Thai Chicken Salad. I remember having a decent version over a decade ago, and I hoped it was close to the same. When I got home and unveiled my container of salad, I was very disappointed. It was a big to-go container, mostly full of lettuce, not quite crisp anymore, tossed with grated, raw carrot and purple cabbage. Yeah. Something I can easily buy a bag of from a local grocery. Tons of lettuce does not impress me, even though it gave me the impression of being huge. Then, there were the chunks of dry, chicken breast on top that looked rather sparse. So, out of curiosity, I decided to pick out the chicken and weigh out how much meat I really got... ooooooh... a whopping 3.8 oz. That's not quite half of a half chicken breast. To add insult to injury, they had topped the salad with crisp wonton strips which, by the time I got home, were already soggy. You know what? Crispy wonton strips put in a separate lidded cup might have persuaded me to "up" this review one more star, but no, it was not meant to be. I re- toasted them in my toaster oven. Thankfully, the sesame dressing and peanut sauce were not bad. But frankly, I could have gone across the street to the Trader Joe's and come home with an equivalent salad (with separately packaged, crispy wonton) and spent $5.99. Or gone to another local establishment where they make masterpieces filled with goodies for the same price. I still love their sugar-free apple pie, but I will not be tempted to try a sub standard meal from MC again. Maybe Corporate should consider returning to a pie-shop-only concept? read more

My BF had fond memories of Marie's, so I took him there for lunch; I was afraid it wouldn't be able to live up to his nostalgia! When you walk in, you are greeted by a bakery of pies and cheesecakes, which looked tempting The restaurant was serene and the perfect place for a date or family dinner, unfortunately the service was slow, so not the place for a quick bite to eat. The food was delicious, we had cream of potatoe soup, meatloaf sandwich and veggie quiche. We can't wait to go back for their Shepard pie, or chicken pot pie. The cost for two people was $34. read more

I don't eat breakfast here often but I really enjoy their banana cream pancakes. Arrived this morning at 9:30am and was told it would be a 20 minute wait but we were seated in less than 10 minutes. My pancakes were not quite as good as normal but they were still pretty good. Our server gave us odd service. Each time he came to our table, he always seemed to be in a hurry. When we asked for refills, it felt like it took forever for him to return. It was just not a pleasant or relaxing experience. 4* = food 2* = service 3* = overall read more

I went here during the week for brunch. When I walked in, I was automatically greeted and seated even though my whole party wasn't with me...that's a plus. It was clean inside even under my table. I got the quiche with the soup and salad. The crust on the quiche was flaky with a good amount of bacon and cheese, served warm. The Cheese Potato soup still has that delicious taste I remember. Salad tasted clean and fresh. I followed my meal up with a slice of Lemon Meringue pie. I liked it was served slightly cold with that tangy lemon/sweet meringue taste. read more

Mom visiting and wanted some pie.. onto Marie Calendars! Since the closing of the Palmdale location my mom was so happy to see one still in operation. After a night of hanging out at the plaza we just made it in before closing. Bright smiles as we drove back home. Strawberry pie had a good sized mound on top of the crust that kept everything in place. Once you cut into it you may experience a little roll around action happening with these stray berries wanting to escape the mold. Just the right amount of sweet. So satisfying! Parking spaces are a little squished. If needing some extra space I'd recommend drop off then park. Their pie month special still exists! read more

Great place for some traditional food, pies are outstanding, so is their selection. Staff is nice and welcoming. Nice place.

I came here for my son who is autistic to try to see if he would eat the food here since he is very picky. He loved the bbq chicken wings so much and has never wanted to eat chicken before this. I was extremely happy about that. I decided to bring him back 2 days later to celebrate his 3rd birthday and asked before i came if they sing happy birthday to kids and the girl at the front seemed unsure so she went to ask and came back and told us they do sing happy birthday and will give him a slice of pie i decided to stay based on that because i specifically wanted him to feel special today and take him somewhere he actually would eat the food. I did ask again when the server came to confirm and she advised us they are unable to sing happy birthday and they have never done that. My face dropped since that was the reason i came mainly. Otherwise i would have taken it to go and not drove an hour away here. To say the least he did eat the food after crying about no birthday song as a mom i am very upset about that but it is what it is. I won't celebrate anymore birthdays here. I did tell a manager about the experience who was very kind and did tell me they stopped doing that years ago so now i know. I decided the take the food to go since my son was already upset unfortunately but the manager was so sweet and said they can still sing to him but i decided to still go because i know how my son is once i already say something won't happen. I gave 2 stars due to the manager being very kind and trying to fix the situation. I will still come here to bring my son to eat since he loves their bbq chicken regardless. It doesn't take away from the fact they have really good food just a bad one time experience hopefully read more

Came here for pie and got a key lime pie slice which tasted just like condensed milk and sugar, NO key lime flavor. Maybe one bite tasted like key lime and the rest milk. They did not mix it well. The price was ridiculous too $8 for one slice. Never coming back the pies taste awful read more

I love the Marie Callender's at the Riverside location!! I had just come from the dentist and couldn't have a "hot beverage" and was gasping for coffee. My waiter immediately suggested iced coffee and it was Such a treat! The pick 3 lunch is a consistent great value that included a turkey sandwich, cobb salad and chocolate pie. The cobb salad was the BEST I have eaten in years. Fresh roasted turkey, thick cut bacon, avocado, and chunky Bleu cheese dressing. YUM. This location is spotless and service is 5 star. My waiter (Michael S.) was efficient, friendly and on top of every thing. read more

Such great comfort food. Complimentary Fresh warm cornbread with whipped butter. Lunch special with "mini" chicken pot pie. Not mini. It was good sized and delicious. Came with salad and a slice of pie. Yummy. Clean, comfortable. Ordered watermelon lemonade which was good but I was surprised it was $4.99. read more

When it comes to eating, they tell us to eat healthy. Well the cost is not always easy to chew, LOL. And when you're alone you try to buy the right amount so as not to waste. And we all need a bit of decent variety other than the hamburger, submarine or canned food. I've always enjoyed a pot pie. Not the skimpy little ones you eat with 3 mouthfuls, but something you would call a meal. And of course your homemade side of salad, leafy greens. :) One pot pie company that has always stood out and I enjoy is the Marie Callender's pot pies. They have a variety and their prices are quite good for a good size pie, $3.99. Plus they have vegetables in them too. So if you're tired out and don't feel like making a full blown meal, and all the fixins try a Marie Callender's pot pie. read more

I was beyond excited to go have me a nice pot pie but unfortunately there was non available. The waitresses offer for the kitchen to make me one but differently which I agreed BUT UNFORTUNATELY the crust on top was like a tortilla, the had VERY VERY little chicken and it was watery. Not gonna lie but the frozen pot pie is much more delicious!!! Would I return??? Most likely not and I'll just grab one from the frozen section. Restroom smelled like someone died and the restaurant it self needed some cleaning etc! read more

No wait times .. server Jennifer nice and friendly. Took order quickly. Always my place to go for comfort food. Cornbread my favorite. Restaurant is nice and cozy a little older but thats okay with me. It's clean and inviting. Let's not forget the real reason, it's alway about the pie. Don't forget to get a slice before your leave. read more

Picked up apple pie and French apple pie for Thanksgiving. The staff was so friendly and organized. Thank you so much!

Just picked up a potato cheese soup and a slice of chocolate pie for someone in the hospital, made them feel so much better that they were discharged an hour later! Coincidence? I think not! Thank you Marie Callender's, comfort food at it's best. read more

The vegetable soup is very inconsistent, sometimes it's made right other times it taste terrible like it's been sitting around for a long while. The broth at times will be thick other times like a watery consistency with no flavor like it is missing the proper seasinings. Vegetables are usually not cooked long enough so it will be big, hard chucks that can't really be eaten without hurting your teeth. Then when you ask the staff for the vegetables to be strained out and removed, they don't do a very good job and several vegetables are left floating in the soup broth. The cornbread that is served with the soup has changed over the years and doesn't taste as good. It is sometimes dry instead of being nice and moist and the flavor is mostly bland. The butter is what helps make the cornbread taste a little better. read more

Marie Callender's is a nice, comfortable casual sit down restaurant. We come on a regular basis with friends from church. We are always greeted with a smile. We all enjoy the variety of menu choices and there are value meals too. Famous for their pot pies and fruit pies, you can't go wrong with any of them, but lots of other comfort food to choose from as well. You can even order off the lunch menu at breakfast time. All the servers are efficient, even when it's crowded, and get our large group's orders right all the time. Coffee refills are abundant and to go boxes are available when you can't eat everything on your plate. Marie's is our go to place because they make us feel welcomed and appreciated....and the food is delicious too! read more

Ayer fuimos a cenar y Sí, servir una rebanada de pastel (pie) en el plato de sopa, especialmente en un restaurante , como Marie CAllender es una gran ofensa y un error grave de etiqueta y servicio, ya que rompe todas las reglas de organización de los tiempos de comida, la presentación y el protocolo; es inapropiado y demuestra una falta total de profesionalismo del restaurante, mezclando el postre con el plato principal, lo cual es inaceptable en cualquier cultura culinaria seria, read more

Marie Callender's is perfect when I am in need of comfort food. My go to meal is the Hot Open Faced Turkey sandwich as it has mashed potatoes, stuffing and cranberry. The cold cranberry sauce with warm mashed potatoes and turkey is a great combo. I think the bread is a thicker Texas toast. The different elements just make me think of fall and celebrating thanksgiving so when I away from my family, I enjoy eating this. I wish they offered a full bar. Since they didn't, I opted for a Coke Zero. I came in for dinner shortly after getting off work so I was dining with four elderly couples served by Ann. The inside of the restaurant is homey with wood and olive tones. Stacked stone pillars separated the entrance & kitchen from the dining area. I was surprised by how small the restaurant was. read more

Great salad bar at the store on Katella. 2 of us had combos and I love the salad bar with 3 soups.

We couldn't believe we saw the Marie Callendars sign! We HAD to stop. We were kindly greeted by the G.M. (Male I believe his name is Bill) and the G.M. From Visalia. They were all smiles and so welcoming. We were so excited to stop and eat at a timeless gem! We wish we had one near us. lol Our waitress Angie was so kind and helpful. She has wonderful customer service! Thank you to all 3 of you! The food is always great! I just MISS THE BREAKFAST POTATOES! bring them back! read more

Good! The dining experience and food is exactly what you would expect from Marie Callender's... good decent food, warm friendly service, a nice clean environment and overall a good value. A nice clean restaurant where you're welcomed warmly upon walk in. You are then seated promptly by the hostess. Our waitress then greeted us promptly and brought us water, then returning shortly to take our order... everything was so seamless and so smooth that they make good service looks easy! And it's definitely not easy to run a smooth move operation!... Great Job MC! Between the 3 of us, we ordered the Small Chicken Pot Pie combo (small chx pot pie + side Caesar's Salad + a slice of any of the famous MC pie, the steak entree and the meat loaf. All items are good and tasty. Service is very good. Overall a good dining experience. read more

Hadn't been here in a while. We decided to come here as were having an early dinner with and old friend we hadn't seen in a while. My wife ordered the pot pie salad and pie meal. As she was eating she mentioned that the salad wasn't very fresh and the dressing wasn't that good. Long story short she got sick that evening and that's the only thing she had eaten. Not good when you're not serving fresh food and customers are getting sick. read more

Stopped by on a Tuesday evening for dinner with friends. I was acknowledged quickly upon entering and joined my party who were already seated. Not sure of the spelling, but our server Caitlyn was awesome. Very friendly, helpful and attentive. For the food, I got mozzarella sticks and the works fresco burger. The mozzarella sticks were plated beautifully.. almost like Jenga blocks. They didn't quite taste as good as they looked though. My burger was scrumptious and the fries were decent. I ended up choosing the peach pie for dessert and wished I had chosen apple lol. read more
