I've been here several times: here's my review. 5 stars. Service is always helpful, cornbread is on point, and pies are the best in town. Thank you for making it back!! read more

Good food great service. Nice atmosphere. Was very clean. Had the trio. Chicken pot pie, side salad and a piece of banana cream pie. All were delicious! read more

My wife and I were so happy to find out that Marie Callender still have locations in operation. We have been going to their restaurants since we got married, 40 years ago. I thought that they had gone out of business because they closed so many restaurants. We found the food to be just as enjoyable as we remembered it, and I was so happy to be able to get a piece of their coconut cream pie, my favorite. We found the weight staff to be so extremely friendly and eager to take care of us. We had a very enjoyable meal. I had the chicken pot pie, of course, and my wife had the potato soup salad in quiche. I had noticed the fish and chips that one of the other diners had ordered and it looked absolutely marvelous, that will be on my list for the next visit. read more

Exceeded my expectations! I ordered the french dip sandwich with sweet potato fries! So good! Not overly salted, which is great (i am a salt freak so i added salt). My friend had the tuna melt & it looked fabulous. It had a cheese toast bread, bacon & avocado! She loved it & it made my mouth water. My friend loves the cornbread, she loved the potato cheese soup & said it is always consistently good. Grace was our server & she is sweet. Clean & comfortable cafe style. read more

Going back to Marie Callender's after so many years brings back good childhood memories. The taste of that delicious flaky crust chicken pot pie is something you don't easily forget and I love that they brew paradise passionfruit iced tea. So delicious! The servers are all very friendly so it's always a pleasant experience dining here. I do wish they would bring back the old restaurant format. These express places feel a little cold and impersonal. Not likely what Marie intended. read more

Visiting Boise for the week, I was so surprised and excited to see a Marie Callendar's, so obviously we had to go! The interior is different than a traditional location; the set up is more like a french cafe where you will either get seated for dine-in or order at the counter for takeout. Once seated, our orders were taken right away. I ordered the Pot Pie Trio, which included a mini pot pie, side caesar and a slice of pie for $15. I do wish the caesar had a little more dressing on it but the pot pie and pumpkin pie were so delicious that I was too focused to even care. They brought everyone at our table cornbread and butter, a great way to start our lunch. The visit was everything I wanted and more! read more

Had lunch at this location. Food was everything I remembered Marie Calendars to be. The cornbread was delicious, the Frisco Burger my husband ordered was awesome (cheesey crust was so good), I had the Turkey Croissant which was fresh and good. I also had a slice of key lime pie - yummy! We will be back! Also - the service was perfect -- friendly and attentive but not overdone. read more

I was there when they first opened. The cornbread was horrendous, I took it back. Tasted like they made it with dirty water. Never went back, Not the quality I expected read more

My second visit in the last 2 months Both times the food was exactly as expected- wonderful! Both times the service was excellent It's nice to see such nice young people be so attentive and - well - just kind! read more

Homesick for the original Marie Callender's pie and sandwich shops? This is the condensed version so don't expect a full menu. Dining area lets in lots of light, nice place for a sandwich and soup. Pies seem much smaller than my memory recalled. read more

Service was fine. Very sweet girl but slow. The bummer was both the chicken salad and grilled cheese. For $15-$18 salads/sandwiches, I would expect them to be decent size and high quality. The chicken was very small and I could hardly chew it. It tasted like microwave chicken. The cheese they used had to be the individual packaged American. Haven't had it since I was a kid it was not good. My 6 year old makes better grilled cheese. Overall the food was rough at best. We did buy pies here a few weeks ago and those were great. I think they should stick with baking (the side of cornbread was good as well) read more

Ambiance is like an old fashioned café, the service was excellent Emma our server was very attentive. Fresh and delicious will definitely be back. read more

The good... pie. The bad... Marie calendars used to have the best meatloaf sandwiches. I was told that their menu to start was small but that they would add things as they went. Still no meatloaf sandwiches. I'm waiting for their return before I go back to Marie calendars again. It may be a while. (Sad face) read more

everyone should support our new, local restaurant but I don't have a desire to return. The food was decent, the prices were right, and the bathrooms were clean. It's not the Marie Calendar's that I remember though. It's more of a small cafe. There is limited seating and you order at the counter. Only two items for kids: grilled cheese and chicken strips with fries. (They were out of fruit today) read more

It's all good here. I especially love the tuna sandwich. Service is very good, but have had my order messed up (someone wasn't paying attention). The restaurant is neat, clean, & perfect for a quick or leisurely meal. Have only had lunch here, not breakfast or dinner. read more

If you have any recollection of the old Marie Callendar restaurants you will be severely let down my this store. When it first opened a couple of years ago I bought two individual pieces of razelberry pie, they were terrible. Since two years or so has passed and they are still in business I thought for sure things had changed so I ordered a whole pumpkin pie to take to a friends house for desert. One bite confirmed that whatever they are doing there isn't even close to meeting my lowest expectations, I'm sorry but that was the worst pumpkin pie ever and I have spent my last dollar there. read more

Very disappointed in the food quality. I know it's a prototype for hopefully a bigger one eventually. We were so looking forward to it. The pies are ridiculously priced. If the do open a regular one at some point, hopefully they will do a better job at food quality and sticking to Marie Callenders original food recipes and cooking. read more

I miss the old Marie Callendar's restaurants. Went there all the time as a kid. This one is tiny, but I'm glad it's back in some capacity. I've never had poor service--a little slow at times, but I think that's just a byproduct of younger waitstaff who seem a little nervous. The potato cheese soup is just like I remember :) I get its a limited format but I wish they had more to choose from. My only complaint is that it never appears open and from the street you can see racking and storage through the window which makes it seem like it was shut down. Zero advertising I ever see, so it is easy to forget it's there. Otherwise it's clean and quiet, but not the homey feel of the old chain restaurants. Definitely more modern. I haven't had a poor pie experience, but pies are sent from corporate I'd imagine, and complaining about a mass pie order for holidays on the restaurant page just affected their reviews unfairly. There was literally a trailer set in the parking lot all holiday season where you picked up your preordered pie. It is fair to complain if they were crappy, but complain to HQ. read more

Such a disappointment! I ordered 2 pies for Thanksgiving this year and both were poorly made. French Apple was gooey/mushy and more filling than apples. The Razzelberry pie crust was so hard, the bottom and sides stuck to the pan and fell apart when trying to take it out. Unfortunately, was unable to serve the pies to our guests, as they were a mess when trying to get them out of the pie pan/tin. I have ordered these pies in the past and have always been delicious, so really disappointing. I tried calling the store in the morning up to when they closed on Friday, 11/29 and pressed 1 to leave a voicemail and their voicemail inbox is full. Guess I'll stop by on the weekend to request a refund! read more

Marie Callenders is my Favorite Restaurant in Ada County. The Meals Are So Wonderful and I like their pies and coffee. I can eat the tuna melt with pickles every day. Staff is awesome. Highly Recommend. Try it for yourself and see. Been there for a couple months trying everything on the menu. I have a picture of my dog because he would like to eat there, but doesn't get. read more

Frozen chicken, leather hard. No beans in SW salad, thin avocado slices. Uncooperative attitude. Poor service. Really needed a manager attitude, not an hourly worker, don't care if you come back attitude. read more

Two young girls provided great service and with a smile! Tomato soup and potato cheese soup were perfect! Burger and tuna melt were yummy, enough to take half home! Corn bread is always a winner too! Two pieces of pie to go, only problem is choosing which ones. Nice clean environment and outside seating too. Will be back! read more

Good food and service. Best place for an excellent tuna melt! Pie is very delicious. Highly recommend for casual dining!

Was looking forward to their banana cream pie for thanksgivings dessert but it was disappointingly runny. Perhaps it was a rushed to assembled as they USUALLY are very good pies. read more

Service was great. Nice greeting and the team was very attentive. Food quality was excellent - Chicken Pot Pie Trio. The restaurant was very clean and bright. read more

The pies are not even close to being like the fresh baked pies they use to have at their original restaurants. Runny and lack flavor. My guess is they are just the thawed grocery store version. I like this restaurant concept for Marie Calendar's, but they need to focus on selling the great pies they use to. read more

Suggest you not eat here, unless you enjoy waiting for 15 minutes without anyone even acknowledging you. Than after seeing another table sit down & be acknowledged & given water. And when asking the wait staff to get service & letting her know how long you've been waiting, she states she didn't see you! Seriously, this is an extremely small dining room. I am aware it was this particular staff, since in the past, the experience was completely different. read more

I ordered a whole pie which I was charged $20 for instead of $19. Because of this with 2 pie tins instead of getting a $1.60 off. I only received .60 cents off. Their food is usually good. However, tonight I received a very tiny slice of cornbread with my order. read more

Food was fire. Service was great. Ambiance was great as well. Had the pot pie + a bowl of chili. Everything was on point. And got a slice of banana cream. That was the best. read more

Putting hot soup and hot chili in plastic containers is sickening and not very safe. They forgot one of my pies last time I was there, I had to drive all the way back and get it again. Other than that the pies are delicious. read more

Absolutely horrible. The environment is cold and uninviting with school cafeteria like vibes. Not like any other Marie Calendars or at least how they use to be. The food was inedible. Basically microwaved tv dinners. The chocolate crème pie had the strangest texture, like gelatin. It was bouncy. Everything is over salted. Pretty sure they just pour about a cup of salt in every dish, freeze it, and ship it out to all the chains to then microwave and serve. Airplane food might even be better. My grandmother was up sick all night from the sad excuse of a Quiche. Just terrible. Will never return. The staff were nice young kids, not to blame for this experience at all. I would say this is a corporate chain gone horribly wrong. read more

I really like the idea of Marie Calendar's resurrected as a fast-casual restaurant with favorites from the old menu. We ate there with some friends today and found that the food was the same processed salty food from before the bankruptcy. Also, the atmosphere was too loud. My quiche was re-heated in the microwave and the hash browns were warmed over and very salty. My wife's food was mediocre as well. All of the food was simply highly processed factory food; nothing fresh. If they took these old favorites and turned them into fresh, non-factory-processed items, they would have a winning concept. Unfortunately they didn't. The Staff was very friendly and attentive, however. read more

Went here for lunch today and was pleasantly surprised. This place just opened and only had 1 star reviews but we had a great experience. The food was delicious, the staff was kind and helpful and the place was clean and comfortable. The turkey sandwich had real turkey slices, not a processed version of turkey. The Marie Calendars cornbread that came with the meal brought back I great memories from going with my family as a kid. It was as good as ever and our kids loved it. Overall very happy and will definitely be back. read more

If you remember Marie Calendar's on Fairview in Boise, then keep walking, this place is no where near like the old one, overpriced pies with all materials shipped in and not made local. Food is cafeteria style, and they have non engaged employees. Pies taste like plastic, too bad because I used to really like the MC on Fairview in Boise with the bar and restaurant. read more

Not sure just yet . Need to go back again. New owners certainly deserve time to get established very polite and accommodating..

We ordered 4 pies from here and spent close to $100.00. I was disappointed in the pumpkin pie, lots of crust and not very much filling. The Key Lime was good , as were as the apple and chocolate cream. But I could have saved money just getting them frozen. read more

My husband had a burger, and I got their signature chicken pot pie. It was plenty of food, and piping hot, but pretty unremarkable (We paid $45 for our meals 2 plus drinks, not including pie). We did go back for pie. The $6 slice of pie was puny....and should be an embarrassment for this restaurant. I would've expected 1/4 of a pie for that price! The key lime flavor was good, but not amazing, and the dutch apple was covered in 1/2" of brown sugar...not very appealing. My husband was not very pleased with the cafeteria-like atmosphere. It's cold appearing, although clean, and very, very noisy. The staff were helpful and very friendly, a definite PLUS!!! Honestly, there are better restaurant and pie companies and this restaurant's prices are high for what you get.... it's not likely we'll be back. read more

My husband, my sister in law and myself went for dinner. It was not what we expected at all. The soup was lukewarm, the quiche was cold and the burgers were under done for my liking. No one came around to see if everything was good until we had already finished the meal. Needless to say, we won't be going back any time soon. I was glad that we had a gift card and didn't have to pay out of pocket. read more

Not the old Marie Calendars. Went for Chicken pot pie crust crumbly not like the old croissant pie not hot. Atmosphere more like mcdonalds dining room. Order at counter. No coffee no tea hot or cold. Disappointing read more

We left work early today, excited to try Marie Calendars in Meridian, ID for dinner. We had to arrive early since the posted hours are 11AM-7PM, but the manager/owner chooses to close at 6PM on a regular basis. Upon arrival, we ordered 2 chicken pot pie trios and a turkey club. Only 1 of the two chicken pot pies has a small piece of chicken in it and the other never had chicken. REALLY?!?!?! No chicken in the CHICKEN POT PIES!!! The trios only came with a Caesar salad and no other dressing choices. We had to ask for the corn bread, which when arrived at the table, was only 3 small cubes (2"x2") of corn bread not a large slice like Marie Calendars is known for. The turkey club was mostly all lettuce with a sliver of tomato and 1 piece of turkey! Beyond disappointing to say the least. We each ordered a slice of pie, Chocolate Cream, Lemon Meringue and Key Lime. ALL 3 SLICES OF PIES WERE OLD!!! The chocolate cream was cracked and falling apart. The lemon meringue was dull, and the meringue was shrinking and old. The key lime was old as well and the whipped cream crumbled and tasted horrible. WHAT HAPPENED TO MARIE CALENDARS??? ALL THIS FOR 53 Bucks?!?!!!! We will NOT be back! DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY HERE!!! read more
