The place is not busy at all. Our server somehow was very forgetful and had to be reminded when she came around. Food came out fast and servings are fair. Could be a much busier place if service was better. Parking lot was full, maybe everyone was at the other restaurants because of the poor service. It’s not as good at all leveled as other Marie Callender’s.

Located off the 10 FWY off Barranca St exit next to LA Fitness with plenty of parking. We stopped here for breakfast on this Saturday morning and were seated right away by a friendly and welcoming hostess. Today, I ordered their "French Toast Platter" with a fresh cup of hot coffee. The food tasted amazing and very satisfying. Shout out to our server, Berenice who was very attentive, making sure to check on us often refilling our coffee cups. The restaurant is clean and organized with a full sized bar and TVs throughout. The restroom was also very clean. Overall, we had a great experience at this location and will definitely return.

I'm so grateful you're still around! I just found out today. We went right away, about 30 mins away from Rancho Cucamonga. I've missed your cornbread, and chicken pot pie. It was a little piece of nostalgia heaven😋🤤😋. And of course we had to get a whole pie to bring home. Oh how I've missed them, especially the summer seasonal fresh Strawberry pie... I can eat one all by myself, but I shared. But the best and most memorable part of our visit was the warm and friendly service from "hot Todd", because he gave me a great hot Toddy for my raspy throat. Everything was perfect. Definitely making the drive more, now that I know it's there.

"Every cloud has a silver lining" is an old saying that seems to not be said anymore. Yet it is pointedly descriptive of how I discovered and dined (take-out) at this restaurant. During a recent visit to Los Angeles, myself and family members I was with needed to evacuate for a night due to the disastrous fires that were burning. In a mad scramble of phone calling as we fled, we were able to get a room at the Hampton Inn located adjacent to this restaurant. I have long been a fan of Marie Callender's frozen entries and desserts, but I did not know there were restaurants named after her. It is a discovery I was thrilled to make! By the time we arrived at our second hotel of the day (we evacuated from North Hollywood), we were exhausted and somewhat traumatized. We also had already eaten an early dinner in the late afternoon, figuring we were going to have an early night. Still, upon our arrival at the Hampton Inn, we were fiercely hungry! This restaurant had closed for table service at 8PM, before we arrived, but they were doing take-out orders. We waited for them and were very happy with the prep time. Upon returning to the hotel, we were all greatly satisfied with our meals. They also had a selection of baked goods at the front counter, but we all wanted more solid food at that time. This restaurant is one of only about 2 dozen locations left from what was previously a larger chain. The great majority of those restaurants are in Southern California, but having visited that area 5 times in the past few years, this is the first time I have seen one. So while I don't want to make light of the tragedies that resulted from the wildfires, I will say this place was a "silver lining".

My mom and I came on a Wednesday because she likes the older crowd and the buy one entree and two drinks, get a free entree coupons she gets via email. We've gone several times for lunch and I have been pleasantly surprised by the food. Honestly, I had low expectations but the food is pretty decent. My favorite is the shrimp tacos, healthy and tasty. This last time my mom got the roast beef dip sandwich, but she usually gets the roasted turkey plate. Also, on our last visit they were short-staffed so there was a little bit of a wait, but the waitress was calm, cool, and collected and I appreciated her responsiveness considering the circumstances. I am not a huge fan of sweets, but next time I will grab a pie or cornbread because the display case looked like it had some great tasting stuff.

I have been coming to this specific Marie Callender’s for years and the service has always been amazing and the food is delicious. My complaint is not with the restaurant or the food with is always great. The reason why I have a complaint is service but only with one staff member. I been getting great service for years except this last visit. I went in this morning to pick up some desert pie for tonight’s dinner. I walk in line 5 people ahead of me I noticed. The cashier Kimberly (Caucasian, tall, thin-medium build) Greets everyone ahead of me with a professional greeting and smile and takes there orders. After the 5 individual customers finish there orders and leave. I walk up. As soon as I walk up to the cash register I noticed her smile turns to a grin, eye roll, and give me a serious look. I start to order my pies and I noticed and I can feel the attitude change. I came in and ALREADY knew what pies I wanted. so i don’t know why she started getting annoyed and looked impatient with me as I ordered. As I Paid for my Pies and meal ($288.97), She looked so upset and and irritated and kept rolling her eyes . I did noticed that the customers ahead of me we Caucasian and Hispanic. Maybe she preferably likes to treat those customers with professional and good service versus others…. Not the best feeling to start my Christmas Eve. I been coming here for years and this is the first time I was greeted with disappointment with the service.

Marie Callenders has struggled in recent years but the food is still good. I love the potato cheese soup and cornbread. The pot pie is delicious as well. This location has a full bar. The servers were very friendly and accommodating. Classic American cuisine.
