Marie Callender's

Had the burger and it was very tasty, service was really good. Marie Callender's is pretty well known for pie, or at least they used to be. I had the Key Lime and my wife had the Lemon Meringue pie. Hers was "ok" but the crust on mine was terrible and the filling wasn't much better. I could have spent less than half the money and picked up a Hostess fried pie from the corner gas station and had a better tasting pie. The pie was the incentive for us stopping.

I decided to eat at this restaurant based on an impulse decision. My family and I have eaten at Marie Callender's a couple times at different locations several years ago and thought is was just ok, so I was reluctant on trying it again anytime soon; however, on 6 Oct 2023, my wife and I gave it another try. We ended up eating here a little late in the night so I was concerned that the experience was going to be less than adequate, but, we were amazed how everything was. We ended up ordering the Home-Style Beef Stroganoff, Braised and Slow-Roasted Pot Roast, Salad Bar, French Apple Pie, and Razzleberry Pie. The salad bar is not something I would boast about, but it contained majority of the items I enjoy. There were two different soups available on the salad bar (Vegetable and Potato Cheese), and they were decent. Our main course was great; both entrées were served hot and tasted like "home cookin'." Out of the two entrées, I'd say the Pot Roast was the better dish out of the two we ordered, but both were good. The pies were magnificent, although, I wish the restaurant didn't look out for my health and served a little more of the French Apple Pie (it seemed as though they didn't give me a full slice). The service was outstanding; our server, Andres, was very friendly, professional, and did such an excellent job overall...which made our experience stellar. I was extremely shocked on how well-maintained (clean) the restaurant was, to include its bathrooms, especially considering that the building is on the older side. Then again, I was there late evening when there weren't a lot of customers to dirty things up. The prices here are reasonable and I really appreciate how this franchise supports the men and women of the military and its Veterans - thank you for that! Overall, I enjoyed the experience and recommend this restaurant to everyone.
