Marie Callender's Bakery - Modesto

My Dad and I had dinner here this evening and was seated right away. Then we were immediately given our drinks and menus after sitting. After given a few minutes to review and decide from the wide selection, our order was taken. Once the order was put into the system we were brought back some of the most delicious cornbread and butter. Now, mind you this most pleasant dining experience has been provided by one person, Mr. Hayden. He greeted us at the front door with a clean uniform, welcoming smile and immediate seating, he then brought our drinks, took our order and everything else along the way, as well as bussed tables that the customers left after dining. He was a one man show that was not missing a step and had a genuine smile on his face all evening. He exchanged pleasant conversations with all his customers and he was even the bar tender. Kudos to this hard working gentleman. The chicken pot pie was of course and always had been DELICIOUS, with the most flaky and perfect crust. Of course again, Dad and I had to have pie to round out the meal and again, as always, never disappoints! Coconut Cream and Banana Cream are our favorites, but you can not make a wrong choice with the pies! Come get a great dinner and phenomenal cornbread as well as quality service from great human beings like Mr. Hayden. Stays safe and kind out here.

My first time being there and it is really Good. Would definitely go back. They have a variety of food, not just their famous pies. Would recommend if you haven't been.

This place I?m sorry to say has gone down hill The food was awful everything tastes like it came out of the microwave the mashed potato?s were like White Play-Doh.. my pie had a long hair in it My lady got her slice of pie and it was cold.. it was an apple pie super cold! The waitress didn?t even ask if we wanted it hearted I?m never coming back after I almost eat some1s hair ? The manager offered me a percentage off my bill??.. ? but she offered me a new slice 1st year I?m so hungry now

I wanted to leave a long review, but a look at the 1 star reviews says most of my experience last Saturday, so I'll just keep it. For breakfast with a party of about 15. At that time there were only a few to no cartridges. Extremely slow service from start to finish. We were there three hours. And because of our big party, they tied up to a 20% size. That was amazing. A luck is for additional service carried out by waiting staff. There was little to no service, let alone extra service. In addition, an automatic satisfaction should be 15% or less and is there to protect the server from cheap screen owners, I understand. 20%? That was absolutely laughing. Tips should not be expected. Tips are for services made by waiting staff, and the amount left is at the discretion of the patron, NOT the restaurant. I asked for automatic satisfaction with a resistance from the administration, which also upset me. The rest of my party decided not to cause waves and simply to pay. This server made a terrible amount of money for terrible service. Unacceptable. The boldness to expect a great tip for terrible service is why we will never visit this restaurant again. I have also read the answers from the administration to the previous reviews, and it is very clear that they did not take the steps they promised to fix these issues. So I'm telling the management? Save your answer. I hope you will take care of your business and your cartridges, but we will not return.

Dear Marie Callender?s, it is a beautiful restaurant, not a bunch of clutter on walls, etc. A very noble look with fireplaces large table spacing. The bar is absolutely fantastic! Beautiful details like brass lion heads used with the railing. Happy Hour includes 1/2 off appetizers and great drinks discounts, but nobody was in the bar! I think more advertising would make a killer place for Happy Hour!
