| - Years ago, I did eat at a Marie Callender's somewhere in California. From what I remember, the food was good. But then again, that was a pretty long time ago.
We got invited to Thanksgiving dinner at a friend's house and I thought it would be a good idea to bring over some pies. Not the cheap grocery store kind. I wanted ones that were reputable and delicious. I called the restaurant in the beginning of November and asked how their ordering process works. The employee told me that because they sell so many pies during Thanksgiving, they don't do pre-orders. However, they would have a tent set up in the parking lot with a lot of their pies available to purchase, so all I would have to do is come on down.
Luckily, the day before Thanksgiving, I got out from work early, so I drove straight here. The parking lot was packed and the line was pretty long! But, it wasn't as bad as it looked. The employees did a good job at keeping the line moving. I think because they only had 2 registers and had to either fix or replace the register tape often, that was the reason why the lines didn't move any faster. Plus there were some customers who were like "What?? These are THAT expensive? On second thought, I'll just buy one." Ummm hello....read the signs people!! You had all that time waiting in line to look at their prices and to decide!! I picked up Pumpkin and Chocolate Satin (this one is made with a Oreo crust.
Listening to other people's conversations, pre-orders can be done online. They had a separate tent for pre-orders of pies and feasts, with a short line. Good to know for next year! The pies were tasty. The Chocolate Satin pie was kind of rich, but everyone enjoyed both. I may come back and to buy more pies for Christmas this year!
