I usually like this place, but they are only as good as their last meal served. I have had turkey sandwiches and the chicken pot pies, and they are usually pretty good. Another positive is that they are very fast. The manager is always up front and genuinely nice and fast. Food arrives within minutes. But today, I stopped in for breakfast and it was not good. The tater tots had an off, chemically flavor, like a cleaning solvent. The eggs and the gravy were flavorless. It was really gross and left a very literal bad taste in my mouth that I can still feel as I write this. Maybe they were just having a bad day? But my meal before the tip was $22, so that left a very figurative bad taste in my mouth. I'll think twice before going here again. read more

This Marie Callender's is unique as it is Quick serve . The menu is not as extensive as the table service stores. I chose the Eggs Benedict my friend went for meatloaf. You will be disappointed if you are looking for a lot of detail in the decor. This store is in a strip center and is as extremely bland. Food is good , service is prompt. Friendly. Everything is spotless. If you are an extreme minimalist you will feel at home. Pie is still on full display and the selection is good. I recommend it for delivery, take out or if you have a Marie Calendar craving . Dine in you get good food , good service but zero atmosphere. read more

Oof, this was a bummer. Haven't been to Marie Callender's in years and was craving a banana cream pie. I chose the wrong place. I actually have the Yelp Maverick check in badge which means I have checked into places with subpar average ratings in the past. The Marie Callender's in Torrance has since closed for good a while back so it's just Pedro and Gardena left in the South Bay. You order at the counter and they bring your food to your table. The hubby and I had brunch here. The dining area only consists of 10 table and chairs. There is no AC and they have a fan blowing. Our brunches were mediocre. Hubby's meatloaf, mash/gravy, and veggies needed a lot of oomph. Seasoning for sure. My breakfast croissant was on fast food level. Tater tots were A-OK. Finally, for dessert my banana cream pie looked so sad. Not the Marie's of yesteryear. It was meh and needed more love. The service was actually fine. There are some nice people working here. Anyway, I would score them a 2.5 but round down to 2 stars. read more

I recently dropped in for a late lunch (about 2:00p). As mentioned in previous posts, the format of this restaurant is fast casual. You go to the counter and place your order. If you are dining in, they will give you a flag, You select a seat, and they will bring your order to you. I have no complaints about the service. I had not had a turkey pot pie in years. I ordered one, for the sake of nostalgia. I was disappointed. The crust was very nice--but it was practically all gravy inside. I can see them being stingy with the turkey; but they skimped on vegetables, too. I am sure that the pot pies are assembled off site and heated at the restaurant. I am unsure if this is a indication that this menu item offers very little value, or if there is a quality control problem at the co-packer. The low score awarded reflects the poor value I received on this menu item. read more

Used to love ordering pies from here. We ordered a lemon meringue pie. The meringue was very watery and lemon curd tasted a lot like soap. I'd order a pie from another place from here on out. read more

We haven't been to Marie Callender's in years, this location did not disappoint! We will definitely be back. We came in for dinner around 6pm, only 2 tables were occupied and there were a couple of people waiting for their to go/delivery pickup orders. I ordered the chicken fried steak and it was a huge tasty portion, my kids each ordered the kids soup/salad bar, kids omelet, and kids turkey dinner. All their choices were great, nice large portions that filled them up. The cashier/server was very attentive, he brought us our food and came by several times to ask if we were good and if we needed anything. He brought my daughter soup 3 times, We enjoyed our meal, the service and the atmosphere! read more

The chicken pot pie was great. I thought it had just enough veggies and chicken. I ordered by phone and picked it up. It was quick and service was excellent. read more

The food was pricey and terrible. I ordered the pot roast. Never again. it tasted of refrigerated frozen vegetables, meat full of fat; it was vile. Even dessert was bad. I had a slice of apple pie. It cost $10 and it was small slice. Only the ice cream was good on top of it. I will never eat there again. read more

First time coming here, Customer Service wasn't the best, The Man taking the order was kind of Rude and Abrupt, Not friendly, They didn't Accept a Promotion listed on their website. Had the chicken Fettuccine, it was good, ordered a slice of the banana creme pie, the bananas was OLD! Mostly Whip Cream Covered the pie, Disappointed, Probably won't be back. read more

I met a friend here to grab lunch . The staff was very attentive and friendly. The food that I ordered was Nothing to write home about . Fish n chips was nothing but store bought frozen triangle fish . The Coleslaw was bland and the fries were the best part. So like I said this was first visit ever . Maybe the other foods on menu are better but I got the short end of the stick with my order . read more

Noooooooooo. Answered the phone by saying hello!! I had to ask if this was Marie Callender's. I wanted to place an order for work, however I should have known better when they didn't answer the phone all day. I began to inquire about pies and they were out of everything. I thought you can place a future order for pies to be made....? Nope not here. Hopefully they'll turn this around. 1 star for finally answering the phone. read more

Our Thanksgiving with Marie Callender's was a complete disaster. We spent $184 on what was supposed to be a delightful feast, only to have the plastic dishes provided melt in the oven as instructed, ruining the entire celebration. Following the given directions to remove the lids but leave the plastic dishes in the oven resulted in a pervasive smell of burning plastic throughout our house. This raised concerns among our guests about the safety of consuming the sides and even the turkey. Apart from the distressing experience with the plastic dishes, we now also have to contend with the aftermath of cleaning melted plastic from the bottom of our oven. This, coupled with the overall dissatisfaction of our Thanksgiving, leaves us deeply disappointed. I sincerely hope Marie Callender's takes this feedback seriously and addresses these issues to prevent others from encountering similar Thanksgiving nightmares. We sent an email to the corporate office but they just passed the buck onto the franchise. They sent the franchise our email but the franchise apparently doesn't give a crap. read more

My sisters and I along with a few friends have been dining at this Marie Callendar location for the past three or four months. Each visit has been a nice experience with great service and equally great food. The turkey dinner is excellent and just like a traditional Thanksgiving meal. Everyone who has ordered in our numerous visits has been satisfied and pleased. It's not the normal table service but ordering at the register is fine. The meals are served promptly and with excellent customer service. A good indication of the quality food being served is the large number of takeout orders being picked up. We will be back often. read more

I'm very surprised to see that this place remains open. It should have closed years ago. Now it's a sad and dingy, grimy, unclean shadow of its former self. Hardly a restaurant really, more of a pie shop with a few old worn out tables and chairs. This seems to match the look of the clientele, at this point. As the theme song from Goldfinger warns, don't go in! Not only are the surroundings sad, the pies don't look too good, and the hired help seems inept. read more

I don't understand the bad reviews. This place is amazing and one of my last favorite American chains. My husband just picked up a banana cream pie and he said it was amazing! He wants one for his birthday now lol. Please give this place a chance as their pies don't compare with others. Let's always be kind read more

The only thing I have positive was the service, very accommodating. On the other hand the bottom of the pie was not cooked (raw dough doesn't taste good) , It's was my first and last time for this location will try the Gardena. Anyway only tried the apple had a good appearance try at your own discretion. read more

They no longer have salad dressing. I ordered 3 times for delivery and none of the salads had dressing on the salad or on the side. I went twice to get takeout at the counter and did not get dressing either time. Yes, I know I should have checked for dressing before I left. I did not think I would go FIVE times and not receive salad dressing. That is bonkers. So maybe it's a new policy or laziness or someone has a compulsion about the salad dressing but don't go here for salad or order delivery. read more

Unfortunately, Marie Callender's has closed many and downsized the remaining restaurants. Their pies are unbeatable!! When in season, the fresh Peach pie is incredible!! Their turkey sandwich is made with turkey like you would eat at Thanksgiving, not the prepackaged stuff!! Service is friendly and attentive. It reminds me of home!! read more

Bought a Lemon cream cheese pie, and a double blueberry pie yesterday, got them home, realized after one bite, that they were both old, and not properly being rotated. The crust on the double blueberry pie was ashen white and mushy, most likely the crust was not properly cooked, and then the pie was not moved out after day old status had expired. Worked for Marie Callender's for a little over 10 years, I made the pies for most of that time. Our policy then was if the pie didn't sell by the end of the second day, it went into the trash, or home with an employee. The lemon cream cheese, the crust was wet and mushy, and the lemon pie filling was tough, dead give a way for a pie being sold past it's expiration. Won't be back, in fact this is the first bad Marie Callender's Pies I've ever come across. Months back we ordered pies at the National and Sawtell store, they couldn't have been fresher or more perfect. From the looks of other peoples posts, this particular location is dragging the company's brand into the mud. If you don't want to conduct business they way people expect you too, get out of the business. Your in the business of selling perishable merchandise. It takes an effort on ever employees part to handle that responsibility to your customers. read more

I love Marie calendars I wish it was more the way it used to be. Anna was so awesome today I haven't done a to go order in a long time and she even remembered what side items I like very impressive customer service and guest recognition it's people like her . This brand needs more people like this she genuinely cares and it shows also the turkey dinner is awesome and I like their salads. It's comfort food. I do miss the old school Marie calendars but it's great To see some people are carrying on the great tradition of the calendar family. Cheers to Anna thanks for making our day we felt special read more

Marie Callender's seems to be pretty dead as it is, but when a dying business is lead by people who don't seem to have interest in serving their guests, it's far easier to succumb to kicking the bucket. I wasn't expecting much of the food because Marie Callender's is just like any other restaurant in its category, but it was good enough to enjoy my time being ignored while I read my book. Efrain, the man who served me was very nice, but for the hour that I was here, he spoke to me one time and that was when I walked up and ordered the soup & salad bar. I waited a solid 45 minutes to see if he would come up and ask how I was doing and he never came to check on me, nothing! He was very attentive to the table of women that arrived about a half hour after me though: Checking on them, refilling their coffee, making idle chatter with them. I thought I was a pretty good looking myself, but I guess not pretty enough for Efrain to acknowledge my existence! A lovely place to sit and read, if you like being self-sufficient and bring up your empty soup bowl to ask for another serving, but not if you like quality customer service. read more

My wife and I have been coming here for years and came for 1 pot pie and the person (kid) at the counter was very busy and overwhelmed with apparently equals RUDE.

My wife and I had a fantastic visit to Marie Callender's new location. We each ordered a sandwich with salad. After that, we walked 50 steps over for Frozen Yogurt to take home and watch Hallmark TV. It was so good that we are going back with guests. Service was quick and fantastic! PS: We had enough food to bring some home. Next time, we will add pie. read more

Been having a meatloaf craving so finally satisfied it at Marie Callender's. The meatloaf was flavorful and served with mash potatoes and steamed vegetables.

It's clean, small and represents the brand well This MC was across the street, across from liquor store. Moved to the Ralph's side. Kinda cozy. Check them out read more

Terrible! The food was so bland and bad! Everything was bad from the soup to the pie! We got a turkey dinner and pot roast. The pot roast had a weird flavor to it and there wasn't enough potatoes. The turkey dinner was really bland. We got the potato and cheese soup and split pea. The potato and cheese tasted just like milk and the split pea was okay. I've never seen split pea soup have actual green peas in it but it wasn't bad. We got the chocolate silk pie and chocolate cream pie. The silk pie crust was salty and the cream pie tasted like chocolate Jello pudding from the store. I went there a few years ago and I don't remember the food being so bad and bland. I was really disappointed. At least our waiter was nice and the restaurant was nice and clean. Buying food this bland is so disappointing. I will not be returning. The frozen meals are much better. Next! read more

We have been very sad seeing so many of the Marie Callender restaurants close down. NO ONE makes pies as good!!! Every summer we look forward to their FRESH PEACH PIE, and they didn't disappoint!!!

Still very enjoyable and each bite sent me into outer space!!! read more

Killer FUC'n pies, though they are a tad bit expensive... I mean $17.00, (actually $16.49), for a banana crème pie? Seriously? We know the ingredients required to make that MoFo cost nowhere near $16... Probably more like $3.00 - 4.00. The pies are good, albeit ludicrously expensive. But, I guess that is the prize you pay for perfection 'cuz M.C.'s pies are just that. Perfect. Never have we had a bad one and we've bought some $hit that ordinarily, would not ever be anywhere remotely near my, (our), radar... Razzleberry Pie? Isn't that the pie that Tiny Tim references in "A Christmas Carol"? Rhubarb? WTF is Rhubarb anyway? But I digress... The French Apple is a real favorite as are the Coconut Crème, Lemon Meringue, Fresh Strawberry, (loaded with whipped cream), and the plain ole Apple. Lunches and options are both plentiful and tasty. Dinner options are good as well. The salad bar is fresh and it doesn't give you the shitz like the Sizzler salad bars do oh so often. read more
