Marisela was absolutely incredible! Her service and attention to detail was very impressive!

My wife and I had lunch yesterday and had a truly wonderful experience, Maricela is our waitress, we have been going here for lunch on Wednesday for so long that they treat us like family. Their meals are delicious pastries are just incredible, service is second to none. My wife and I see how everyone is treated with such love and kindness which truly adds to the joy of eating there. Maricela you have always taken great care of Frances and I especially how we talk about our families to each other. We highly recommend to anyone looking for a wonderful place to eat, and their prices are reasonable too!!! George thank you for hiring the staff and insuring that they treat everyone with respect and love, Frances and I will always come to eat with you every Wednesday!!!! read more

I have always loved Marie Callender's restaurants. However, we visited the Whittier restaurant and received the worst service ever. The server told us the coffee was fresh, but it was cold. She waiting time to place our order and to receive our order took over one hour! We had to walk out and pay the cashier because we could not get our check from the server. The server needs to be replaced ASAP. The potato cheese soup tasted like sliced potatoes heated in the microwave with velveta cheese. A side of fruit consists of 4 small pieces of fruit. Also, the salad bar has been shut down. read more

Spot was amazing! Absolutely loved the breakfast chilaquiles. Cannot remember last time to have such great service and food. Definitely planning to go back in the future! Special shout out to Maricela for being such a great waitress for us! She was friendly, helpful, gave great suggestions, had great energy for a morning crowd, and more. Aside from the food, I'm going back to get great service from Maricela! read more

Let's start by saying I have lived in Whittier area my entire life so Marie's has been an institution for me. Service hear is always friendly and quick. The food is what you would expect from Marie's good quality prep of the standards. Their cornbread continues to be world famous. The Cobb salad I so enjoy has changed over the years, but its is still one of my go to places for that salad. The Vegetable Minestrone was exceptional and surprised me on how good it was although should be served a bit hotter. The decor and all its charm remains the same although it's very dated. Needs an infusion of capital to modernize the dinning area - WITHOUT losing the Cooper ceiling and what makes Marie's recognizable. Good example - lose the salad bar which has turned in to storage for cutlery and napkins. Keep Going Maries !! read more

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. read more

Didn't know Marie calendar's still existed. Husband took the fam here to see how it is. Beef stroganoff still as good as I remember it! I don't know of too many places that serve that dish so I'm happy to be able to have it again. Cornbread is more like cake than bread (which is what I prefer... moist and soft) and the garlic bread is really good too. It's nice and quiet on a Sunday night. I eye roll at the kids choosing Kraft Mac and cheese kids meal (pricey at $12.99), but they let us substitute garlic bread for fruit and it was a nice selection.... They let my girl choose only watermelon so she was happy. Service was pretty good, food arrived much quicker than expected. The kids didn't finish the placemat activities yet! It's a bit of a drive since we were looking around the trains and such like tourists lol. Anyway would return! read more

Marie Callender's - Marie Calendar's from the parking lot at the end of 2025. - Bakeries Near Me - Whittier, California

This is actually an older review I had saved in my drafts and never posted. I came in with my mom to place our Thanksgiving order. We ordered several pies, apple and a couple of lemon cream pies, along with cornbread. I prepaid for everything and scheduled pickup for the day before Thanksgiving. I arrived right when they opened, handed over my slips, received the boxes, and left thinking everything was taken care of. Unfortunately, when I got home and checked the order, it wasn't complete. I called the store and was told I would need to come back in either to get the rest of my order or request a refund. I was beyond annoyed. It was already a busy holiday week, and the whole point of prepaying and scheduling pickup was to avoid extra trips and stress. Instead, I ended up driving back in rush hour traffic when I really shouldn't have had to. Long story short, I returned and picked up the rest of the order. While the items themselves were fine, the inconvenience left a bad impression. When I'm told my order is complete, especially for a holiday, I expect it to actually be complete. Based on that experience, I probably wouldn't order from them again. read more

In all honesty I didn't know what to expect from Marie Callender's. However my visit and experience was amazing! Shoutout to Thalia for being an amazing waitress and helping me out with the menu! She helped answer any questions I had and also checked up throughout the meal. I got the soup, half sandwich and slice of pie combo! The soup was the vegetable soup and was very tasty. The sandwich was the French dip supreme and was delicious! Although I think the au jus could've used just pinch more salt. My favorite part was the extra crispy French fries ‍‍ I got the French apple pie and it was soo delicious. Definitely consider adding some ice cream to it. Inside they have plenty of tables, a bar and some big screens. I loved my experience here and will definitely be back! read more

Last week my pop and I had lunch at Marie Callender's in Whittier, and I've got to say--it was an outstanding experience. The food was great, no doubt, but what really made the visit memorable was our server, Maricela. She was top shelf from start to finish. She checked in on us at just the right times, answered all our questions with patience, and carried herself with a big, genuine smile the entire time. Maricela was professional, friendly, and clearly takes pride in what she does. That kind of service is rare these days, and it made a real difference for us. You can tell she truly cares about her customers, and that energy reflects well on the whole restaurant. We'll definitely be coming back--and we'll be recommending Marie Callender's to others because of experiences like this. Thank you, Maricela, for making our time there something special. read more

We had such a wonderful experience thanks to Maricela at Marie Callender's in Whittier. My brother and I came in for breakfast, and from the moment we walked in, she greeted us warmly and made us feel welcome right away. Even while clearly managing multiple tasks, she was attentive in every way from the start, even helping us choose the perfect table and lighting based on our preference. She guided us through the menu with great recommendations and made the pies sound so good that we couldn't resist. She was absolutely right. I had the strawberry pie and my brother had the banana cream, and both were amazing. The restaurant was busy, and we could see she was handling several tables at once, but she had everything completely under control. Despite that, we never once felt overlooked or unattended. That level of care really stood out. Maricela made our experience feel special, and because of her, we will definitely be coming back more often. We hope the rest of the staff is just like her. read more

My mom and I always come here and the service and food is always great. We have been serviced by Maricela several times and she has always been helpful and nice. I highly recommend this restaurant. Big shout out to Maricela! read more

My daughter and I were at Marie Callender's city of Whittier, and received exceptional service from Maricela. Very personable, attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable.

Of the various Marie Callender's I've been to, this has to be the newest and most friendly of the restaurants. The entrance is well organized with a roped off entrance to be seated or to order pies. The bar is also well stocked and a nice Saloon sign points where to go. This community is well taken care of and no problems finding parking. I would come back for more pies and dining in the future. read more

Haven't been to Marie Callender's in forever. We decided to go for my birthday breakfast and had amazing service from Marisela! She was consistently filling out coffees, which we love. All the old decor looks kept, clean and really adds to the old times vibes. I used to come to this Marie Callender's with my grandma, and it's nice to see it's still here and serving good quality food. I forgot to take a picture of our meal! It was french toast and the croissant sandwich. The french toast had that crispy edges and fluffy center. We'll be back. read more

Hands down the best place to get muffins from. Buy 4 and get 2 free which comes out to roughly $20, which is a great deal. The muffins are so soft and delicious. Each flavor is delicious and you can't go wrong with any flavor. The staff is super helpful and friendly. Service is amazing! Highly recommend this place especially after leaving the ER like I did recently. Conveniently located across from PIH and plenty of parking. Overall one of the best Marie Calendars! read more
