Came here for a quick dinner and food and service was awesome! Thank you Maricela for taking care of me Will definitely come back for the delicious pies

Runny yolk.

My family ritually gets the pies for birthdays. Banana cream pie, blue berry and Kalua cream cheese are own favs. Today I came in for breakfast while waiting for family to get a procedure at the hospital across the way. I ordered a humongous chocolate chip cookie w my coffee, because you can do that here. Haha MARICELA was so attentive, she walked me to my table and kept me topped off with coffee. She gave me time to make a decision and made sure I had what I needed to enjoy it. We chatted about coffee and preferences, which elicited the sweetest memories of when I first drank coffee. Thanks for that Maricela! I ordered the eggs Benedict with bacon instead of ham. No regrets. I have been here before for lunch/dinner and had the Salmon Cajun style and i still dream about that dish. They serve alcoholic drinks also. For that little warmth to take the edge off. Lord knows we need that sometimes. Overall a great community restaurant that needs to stay right here for us. Thanks again Maricela for making my experience today wonderful. I'll be back to see you soon!

Apple pie
Aileen H.

The closest Marie Calendar's near me closed 3 years ago. I was happy to be near this one in Whittier and made a special stop. I love their turkey club croissant sandwich (buttery, flaky, flavorful), apple pie (perfect crust and not overly sweet), corn bread (perfect texture: moist with a bit of grain in every bite), chicken pot pie (100% comfort food and again with the perfect pie crust), and their fresh strawberry pie (this is my all time favorite since I first had it as a child - core memory!). The fresh strawberry pie is MUST try! Cailin, my server was so friendly and helpful. 5 stars for her excellent service. There is plenty of free parking on site. The ambiance is pure nostalgia. I love that they haven't changed the decor from since I was a child. A classic.

Carrot pecan & pumpkin spice cupcakes
Steven M.

This is becoming our spot when we come to Whittier for business. Its a warm and comfortable atmosphere. And the service is very good. Kaylee helped us and made sure we had everything we needed. Even small thing to make our meal a much better eating experience. And she's so nice and fun to talk to. The food was good. I wish the pot pies had some more meat in it. I only got 1 or 2 cubes of chicken. A few peas and a few carrots. But the sandwiches were good. We always get pies from here. Double cream blueberry pie is my favorite. Today I got 2 cupcakes for people at home. The carrot pecan cupcake and the pumpkin spice cupcake. They look so good. I can't wait to see my family's face when I give thee cupcakes to them.

Been wanting to try the banana crème pie because I've heard so much about it but it wasn't to our tasting It's a lot of crème as the filling is mainly crème. I think if it had a thinner layer it would be more balanced with the crust and texture

Albacore Tuna Melt
Mark E.

It had been ages since I had been to a Marie Callender's. (There aren't that many still around.) My nostalgia got the best of me, though, and I visited the Whittier location which is, supposedly, one of their better ones. Overall, I was pleased. This is one of their classic locations, with a separate bar. Sadly, the former salad bar, though still there, sits empty. The service started off poorly. They still do a lot of take-out business, and it seems this takes priority over seating guests. Once I was taken to my table, however, I was greeted by a terrific server who clearly took pride in her job. I had a tuna melt, something I've been checking-out at a lot of places recently. The version here was one of the better ones. Overall, a very good experience. I'll be back again soon. This is yet another one of those classics that deserves to stick around. And there are many more classic dishes on their menu to get reacquainted with.

Bowl Potato Cheese
Samantha M.

Me and my family LOVE it here!!! It's the best the food is always good service is always amazing and I just love the comfort being at this restaurant brings me. It's so sentimental for my family since it was my grandma's favorite, but their food is honestly always so delicious so we're happy to visit. I get the pot pie trio every time and it is so much food! You also get a cornbread which wasn't added because I ate it as soon as it came out. The potato cheese soup is another must. We tried the potato skins and it was real bacon!!! Not the fake bacon bites. Everything was so delicious, we love it so much we get chicken pot pie and soup in the summer! Will definitely be back

Mini chicken pot pie trio
Cathy G.

The food was good and our waitress Maricela provided 5 star service she always has a smile. I highly recommend coming to dine at this location

Yum! I reserved the last lemon cupcake
Christina F.

Was really impressed by how staff handled the huge unexpected crowd on a weekday night. I believe it was busy because of the Rose Bowl, not sure, but on January 7th, it was packed! They didn't even have enough servers to open every table area. But despite it all, they moved quickly and had top notch customer service. Shout out to Jackie for being super sweet and amazing! She ran the front counter with ease and grace. May her food always be delicious and good things always come her way. Didn't see our usual favorite server, Keith, but our server was good. I don't remember her name, should have written it down. Food was excellent as always. I got the pie trio, with my favorite, shepherd's pie, along with cream cheese pie. Also tried the lemon muffin which was delicious! Thank you Jackie for reserving it for me! I saw it was the last one and didn't want to miss out. Looking forward to coming again.

Cozy atmosphere with an urban, classy, romantic vibe. The background music was good with a great…read moresound system, but a little loud for me. Menu was varied and interesting with some specialties, sandwiches, and salmon. Prices were fair for these times. I had the strawberry goat cheese salad and the baked dinner rolls with sweet butter. Enjoyed it all. My husband had the burger with fries. He said both were very good. I'd like to try the bacon crusted salmon or the gnocchi next time. We did not have dessert. Service was friendly, helpful, and efficient. This is a tiny gem in Uptown. They've been open about a year. I hope people will discover and enjoy it like we did. I think a small candle on each table would add an inviting element to go along with the pretty fresh flower centerpieces. This place can also comfortable accommodate groups.

I mean--you would think of all the things that are pet peeves when it comes to food, overcooking my…read moresteak would be one of the biggest. But I've learned that if I order my steaks rare or even blue rare at a place not known for their steaks, it comes out to the desired medium rare I wanted all along. Such was the case tonight. I asked for rare but it came out closer to medium rare--maybe even dipping into medium. No big whoop. The baseball steak was still juicy and delicious. The fries were still great shoestring. And I can live with a chimichurri sauce instead of the preferable hollandaise or bearnaise these usually come with. I just wish I could actually ask for a medium rare and get medium at a food joint other than where it costs me $60 or $70 a cut. The service was good. She was pleasant and quick on her feet. The ambience was good. It was a quaint space and had a lot of charm. I can't say it was too full but I attribute that more to the day being full of sporting events like the World Cup and some silly NBA thing than an actually critique of the restaurant. Subsequently, I found this a good place for dinner but not superb and I found myself wondering when the next like fate might bring me here.

I was stuck on what to order, the waitress recommended some stuff. Went with the chile Colorado, I was intimidated by the amount of sauced served but it was great! The meat was so good and tender. I opted to sub the beans with cilantro white rice although she states the beans are really good and homemade (I need to try this next time) Get the handmade corn tortillas, it's so good!! Not pictured are the confit pork spare ribs. So good as well! Also ordered a spicy margarita. Staff was patient and kind. Our bosses decided to rent the whole restaurant out for a Xmas luncheon!

It is personally weird to me that a restaurant that has its own brewery doesn't brew their own stouts or pilsners. In terms of spirits, they only have tequila, so you can only get tequila-based cocktails. At that point I was asking myself, "why have a liquor license and only have one kind of liquor?!" Service was pretty slow. Went on a Friday night and they were packed, so that makes sense. But even when the room started to clear, service was still slow. Only thing that was fast was when they came to pick up the bill payment. But I'm willing to believe they were understaffed band I came in at rush. Food was okay. They don't really have any light options aside from salad, and they have very few chicken options, and I think they only cut they have is chicken thigh. Their concha bread pudding had a really stiff texture, and the ice cream scoop on top tasted and felt freezer burned (but I accept this could be an intentional reinterpretation). Was a nice experience, but the food, drinks, and service were lacking.

Ok so 5 years later I do like coming here with just my wife. If I come in with a group or sit on…read morethe beautiful patio I would say the wait time is longer. I'm not sure why this is the case still where you can be forgotten about but it's an opportunity for improvement. I prefer now to seat myself at the bar where I get face-to-face customer service. The reason I do like coming here is that the food is good! I enjoy the breakfast and lunch offerings. I love the fried zucchini, the happy hour specials are affordable, it's a solid sandwich, and I want to love it here so much. It's just that whenever a big party comes in the service falls apart. My review is for a party of 2 sitting at the bar or inside the restaurant. Parking lot can get full but there is street parking as well. I've ordered their catering before and it's a great way to serve your family a catered breakfast with low effort and good pricing.

When we arrived, the hostess notified us that they were accepting walk ups and reservations didn't matter. We waited over an hour to be seated. Initially, they sat us separately at two booths. This is unacceptable on Mother's Day when we were trying to celebrate our Grandmother. Thankfully, our waiter was able to clear a spot on the patio. Following being seated, the waiter did not come. I got up and asked if they could come to our table because we have two diabetic family members. The host I spoke with said he would send someone, but there was some attitude. Our waiter came and was kind, but the whole experience has been awful. We waited over an hour and twenty five minutes after being seated for our food to arrive, and they didn't bring it all out at once. My pancakes ended up having a hair in them and had to be sent back. We have since asked for a manager to come to the table 2x, and they have not come. I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone. It has ruined our last Mother's Day with our grandmother before she moves away later this year. Over two hours wasted total waiting to be seated and for our food to arrive.
