"First and foremost we had terrific service. The hostess and the server were both friendly and efficient. The facility was clean and it is conveniently located off the 8 freeway. Marie Callender's has long been a family favorite. The comfort food selections made with fresh ingredients, have kept us returning over and over again. We had not been to this location since COVID closures and looked forward to the opportunity to visit. Long time customers, we were so disappointed in our recent visit. The quality of their food has declined so significantly that it will be a long time before we return. Sadly, our party of 8 were all equally disappointed by the food. A variety of menu items were ordered and not one thing was satisfying. The potato soup tasted as if boxed potatoes were used instead of real potatoes. The Frisco burgers were terribly greasy, lacking flavor and so little meat that nearly half of the bread didn't have meat. The fries were soggy and bland. The Cobb and Thai salads were filled with limp old lettuce and minimal amounts of other ingredients. The chicken was bland and rubbery. The French Dip roast beef tasted old. Each of us left more than half of our meal on the plate. Hopeful that their pies would be the high quality we have always had, unfortunately did not meet our expectations. The fresh strawberry pie had multiple berries that weren't even ripe, lots of green on them. The razzleberry pie was thrown out after just one bite. The amount of money we paid for a meal that was mostly discarded was frustrating. I hope their quality menu items return soon."

In this place you find delicious brunch options. Their homemade blueberry banana bread is the best one and you should not skip it. Highly recommended for everyone

Great service. Pot pie looked great, but was half filled with liquid. Cheaping out on us customers? Had the pot pie been properly filled with meat and vegetables it would have been a 5 star experience. The waitress was 5 stars! Very sweet andhelpful

Great service. Pot pie looked great, but was half filled with liquid. From our customers' approval? If the pancake had been properly filled with meat and vegetables, it would have been a 5-star experience. The waitress was 5 stars! Very sweet and helpful

I used to enjoy dining here, but it shouldn’t take three tries to get an order right. My sister ordered a medium steak but received it well done instead. We returned it, and they brought us a rare steak. By that time, the rest of my family had already finished their meals, and we had to wait for a third steak before they finally got it right!

Took my family here today. I?ve been a couple times on lunch dates with my wife. Today was nice as well. We had an AWESOME server named Spencer. He was polite, professional, and helpful. If you?re ever in the area, I recommend Spencer if you?re goingfor dinner. Besides the great service, the food was good, delivered in timely, and it came hot.

As soon as you walk through the door, you're greeted by the charm of a classic family diner. The decor evokes a sense of nostalgia that many people appreciate. The staff are incredibly friendly, and our waitress, Kari, was simply delightful—warm and efficient, like a caring mom or aunt. When the food arrived, it truly tasted homemade, prepared with love. I can’t wait to return! View menu

For the new year we went to Marie Callender's for our lunch and I'm so glad we did; I forgot what a clean, nice, and yummy restaurant it is! I had the basic all American favorite; pot pie, salad and slice of pie and it was all I could eat all day. We also ordered the breakfast and my daughter couldn't even finish it, that's how big the portions were. The corn bread that they give while you're waiting for your entrée is out of this world especially with the spiced homemade butter! To top it all off, the bill was $26.00! I had to double check everything because I'm not used to getting such a small amount for all the food we ordered. A shout out to Andrea our waitress because she was exceptiona...

Thanksgiving 2022 was a last-minute decision for my family to celebrate with some traditional food. I went to Marie Callender's to see if they had any cakes available and if there were still turkey meals to order. I was fortunate enough to grab the last lemon cake and one of the many pumpkin cakes left. My family absolutely loved the cakes! The lemon cake was different from the norm, with more lemon filling than I've ever seen. The topping wasn't a huge mound, but rather delicate little white flowers on the lemon. Overall, it was my favorite. The pumpkin cake was the top choice among the family members. Everyone enjoyed the lemon cakes, while they had ordered the turkey dinner from another r...
