Reviews for Marie Callender's in San Diego, CA
I've enjoyed food here in the past, but it shouldn't take three tries to get an order correct. My sister ordered a MEDIUM steak,... but received a WELL DONE steak. We sent it back and they gave us a RARE steak. The rest of my family had already finished eatingat this point, but we had to sit there waiting for a third steak before they finally gave us the right one! Read more
First off, when you walk in the door, it feels like the old fashioned family diner. The decor makes me feel so nostalgic and who... doesn't like that? Second, the staff is extremely friendly. Our waitress, Kari, was an absolute sweetheart. Such a pleasantwoman and very efficient but felt warm, like a mama or an auntie. Then the food comes out. ???????????? It tastes real andhomemade with love. I will definitely be back!!! Read more
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 Read more
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. Read more
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 thatthey give while you're waiting for your entrée is out of this world especially with the spiced homemade butter! To top it alloff, 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 foodwe ordered. A shout out to Andrea our waitress because she was exceptional! We'll be back 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 Read more
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 foodselections made with fresh ingredients, have kept us returning over and over again. We had not been to this location since COVIDclosures and looked forward to the opportunity to visit. Long time customers, we were so disappointed in our recent visit. Thequality of their food has declined so significantly that it will be a long time before we return. Sadly, our party of 8 wereall equally disappointed by the food. A variety of menu items were ordered and not one thing was satisfying. The potato souptasted as if boxed potatoes were used instead of real potatoes. The Frisco burgers were terribly greasy, lacking flavor and solittle meat that nearly half of the bread didn't have meat. The fries were soggy and bland. The Cobb and Thai salads werefilled with limp old lettuce and minimal amounts of other ingredients. The chicken was bland and rubbery. The French Dip roastbeef tasted old. Each of us left more than half of our meal on the plate. Hopeful that their pies would be the high quality wehave always had, unfortunately did not meet our expectations. The fresh strawberry pie had multiple berries that weren't evenripe, lots of green on them. The razzleberry pie was thrown out after just one bite. The amount of money we paid for a mealthat was mostly discarded was frustrating. I hope their quality menu items return soon. Read more
Thanksgiving 2022 My family decided at the last minute to go ahead and celebrate this holiday with any traditional food I could... find. I came to Marie Callender?s to order pie if they had any and to see if there were any Turkey meals left to order. I waslucky with the pies walking out with the last lemon meringue and one of the many pumpkin pies still remaining. My family lovedthe pies. The lemon meringue did not look like your normal type and had more of the lemon filling than I had ever seen. Thetopping wasn?t a huge mountain but instead it was little flowers of white on the lemon. All in all my favorite. The pumpkin piewas the rest of the family?s first choice. (Everyone ate the lemon meringue as well????) Purchased the Turkey dinner fixings ata different restaurant but will definitely come here for pies once more. PS- I have purchased their Turkey Dinners before andthey are top notch.???? Read more
