I'm obsessed with their pies! While slices are pricey, buying a whole pie is a steal. They are absolutely the best! Plus, I appreciate the zero wait times for seating and the friendly staff. Although the interior could use some renovation, the exceptional desserts keep me coming back, even if it means traveling to another city!

Went for an early dinner the other day. This is the only M. C. left in the bay area. The service was excellent and the food 3.5 stars. You get corn bread which is very good and moist. The open faced turkey sandwich is good and moist. It's roasted turkey, apple sage stuffing, giblet gravy on grilled sourdough bread. Served with mashed potatoes and cranberry sauce. The Chardonnay was good and reasonably priced.

Have only tried their French Apple Pie thus far and it was delicious and eggless. It’s located off El Camino in a shopping area so has ample parking. The service was prompt and friendly. Interiors are modest but give it a warm feel. They have a sizable sitting area and another area that looked like it could be booked for private events. I plan to go back and will update the review if and when I do.

Wow, to be served by a genuinely nice waitress was a real treat. I hadn’t been to Marie Callendar’s in years. Food was the same but Jennifer made the experience so enjoyable. Thank you! I don’t know her, just really appreciate her care and kindness.

We went there for Mother’s Day. Service was great. There was a special dinner menu for mother all day long with different variations. Stake, mushed potatoes and veggies were excellent. We also took fish and pies. All dishes were delicious and big exactly like in mom’s house. We were so full and took pies home for desserts.

Had an amazing Mother’s Day lunch. Very clean (including bathrooms), peaceful restaurant, with great service, nice food, reasonable prices, and good portions. We enjoyed ourselves, had a relaxing leisurely lunch and conversation, and took home 4 slices of pie.

You have to enter with the expectations of a large chain restaurant similar to Olive Garden. Once the expectations are set, it was a nice place to be reminded of traditional American dining of yore with a similar clientele to match. We just sat down for the dessert pies which hit the spot to end our cravings. The pecan pie, apple cobbler, and banana cream pie were all pretty tasty. Albeit a little mass manufactured but still a place to reminisce about childhood flavors.
