Marie Callendar's is one of those places I always forget about. The food is pretty darn good, and don't forget about the pies!!
My Mom and I stopped in for dinner while we were out shopping recently. She had seen an ad that they had a special for a "mini" pot pie, served with caesar salad and a slice of pie for $9.99. That's a pretty great deal, and the pot pie was really delicious - not to mention the banana cream pie she had (her favorite)!
I had chicken piccatta, which was surprisingly amazing. I was pleasantly surprised. I had the salad bar with it, which wasn't exciting - I would say that the selection could use some work. I also had a slice of the kahlua cream pie (or something) and it was really decadent, and pretty darn good!
The service was OK - a little slow, but we were there not long before closing and there weren't a lot of other tables.
The prices are a little bit high, but the portions are fair in size and the food is always good.
I heard the server telling another table that they sell something like 100,000 pies during Thanksgiving week ALONE. That is nuts! Make sure you stop in to buy a pie when they are on sale for $7.99 (just about anytime but the holidays). There is a small charge for the tin as well, so bring yours back and they will give you a credit.
