Marie Callender's

We live in Reno, NV and no longer have a Marie Calendar's, so this was a treat. As always, Marie Calendar's never disappoints. Same classic recipes that calm and comfort. They haven't gone crazy with the price hikes either. Wife and I shared a corn bread and chicken pot pie. She also had a side salad. I had a coke zero and she just had water to drink. I had a banana cream pie slice and she had a chocolate satin slice. With taxes in Orange County the bill was just under $40. With a decent tip the total was an even $50. I wish we would have gone here more this last week as we've paid way more for less quality but "trendy" food. They even have the whole fruit pies and cheesecakes for only $12. At the quality that their pies are and prices today my wife and I both expected the pies to be around $20. Don't sleep on Marie's recipes and quality and quantity... They are still such a great deal. They also serve extremely comforting food that takes you back to when you first had their, our your grandma's, food. Really wish we still had a location close to Reno but until next time, Marie... We'll have the memories.

The “pot pie” is amazing. There was a time that I thought their frozen Chicken and Turkey pot pies were the best from the supermarket, THEN I had one from the restaurant … and I was spoiled. Yes, the frozen ones are still the best frozen ones, but the fresh ones are, if I had to use one word absolutely AMAZING! If you have ever had a fruit or cream pie from them, then you know. If you haven’t, do yourself a favor, go out of your way if need be, it WILL be worth it. What ever you do, stay away from the “FRESH” strawberry or peach when they are in season… they can be very addictive.
